OF course the editor of the Au-

And yet, strange to say, the mfu-

prohibition law was adopted in
more prosperous today than ever;
the people are conteRted. bank de-
posts and value OF properly are
steadily increasing; the city III go
ing forward at . rate never Wit
messed before under the bar-room
system and many Republicans re-
sent to the core the efforts that
certain Republican leaders are
making during this campaign to
reopen the liquor question"
This is the very truth, not only
of the places mentioned but in
every town and county throughout
the west. 1t In a condition and
not a theary that confronts the
people. a vote for the Republi-
can state and legislative ticket in
every county means a vote for the
re-opening of the grog shop and
the still house. The success of the
Democratic party means the con-
tinued maintenance of the church,
school house and industrial plant.
The lines are sharply drawn and
there is no battle-ground. The
republicans, by recent admissions
of their own leaders have lined up
with the liquor forces. If you
want the school house, instead of
the saloon, vote the Democratic
ticket if you prefer the still house
to the cotton mill, cast your lot
with the republicans. Young men,
beware.

This is the language employed
by Hon. E. j.. Justice, of Green's
boro, In a recent speech bearing
upon issue Of Butler and Bonds. .
Inasmuch as Butler is now at the
head of the table, in republican
circles the peoples attention

holders of fraudulent bonds while
he was supposed to be represent

"Mr. Butler and his ~understrap-
pers assert that Mr.. Butler did
not take for collection the recon
struction bonds but only the
Shaeffer bonds and they say that,
therefore, Butler is a worthy and
popular leader.
"They complain most bitterly

T. SETTLES PREDICAMENT.
Has Put His Foot Into the Mirs
Too Far to be Fabricated,

o EaT TO De 6A6TlCdbSO
The Hon. Thos. Settle, of Ashe-
vile, son of a distinguished father
from whom he inherited RepubE-
canism with reconstruction embod-
iment, delivered a political adj
dress In Wilmington on Saturday
night. His Wilmington speech
was one of several he has deliver
ed in North Carolina within the
past few weeks among the places
where he has spoken being, Ke-
Evansville, Newborn and Burgaw in
the Third congressional district
to aid Maj. Geo. E. Butler, Repub-
lican candidate for congress, in his
fight against DR.. John NJ. Faison,
the Democratic nominee.
Mr.. Settle gets credit for being
an attractive speaker and has
about him the attributes of an ora
tor, which goes very well with
men Of all kinds of politics. How
ever, North Carolinians know that
Lawyer Tom must appear more as
the attorney of Repubhcanism
than as its advocate. Therefore,
they listen to his oratory but re
ject his argument. The Hon.
Tom during this speaking tour has
been laying a good deal of stress
upon <'local self-government. "(O
In his speeches DR.. Faison declares
Settle is preaching this new found
Republican doctrine, a principle
which is as old as the Democratic
Eparty and which the respectable
Republican party" has alleged
thinks can be used for two pur-
poses in this campaign-to mis-
lead some and dupe others.
The gifted Tom Settle is not
gifted in the art of practicing the
rules of consistency when he goes
about preaching "local seff-gov-
ernment." Evidently he was not
in favor Of the local SELF princi-
pie when he tried to. break into a
Federal judgship last year. Prob
ably some Florida radical beat the
Hon. Tom to that principle, called
attention to it at Washington and
Impressed the President with the
fact that Florida Republicans be-
ieve so strongly in having local
Republicans appointed to Florida
political positions, they did not
want any foreign interference on
the part Of an imported Republi-
can from away up in North Caro-
lima. At any rate, Settle failed in
pulling any orange blossoms, Sc
his next conspicuous appearance
was when he attempted to land
the Federal judgeship in the Cape
Fear district away down in Ens-
tern North Carolina. 1t was out
in western North Carolina to way
down n eastern North Carolina,
but it seelas tLat he raised the

M STANDS PAT.

Recently Senator F. NJ. Sim
mons stated In an interview that
what Marion Butler wanted to de-
bate with democrats was whether
he betrayed this state in the South
Dakota bond matter. Butler, of
course, tries to pursuade himself
that he did not, but leaders of
his own party shake their heads
in dismay when the subject is
preached In their presence. Any
way Senator Simmons said this:
"What Butler chiefly desires to
discuss is whether he In the mat
ter of the bonds betrayed his
State. That is not an open ques-
fAon. The evidence of Buffers
tReacbery to the state is as con
elusive as the evidence of Bene-
dict Arrold's treachery to the
country. If Benedict Arnold were
alive and here and wanted to de-
bate the question of whether he
Had betrayed his country, no one
would debate that question with
him. Why then should any North
Carolina Democrat debate with
Nr. Butler the question of Wheth-
er he had betrayed his state2 The
evidence Of treachery is as con-
elusive In one case as In the other.
1t is a settled question and not a
latter Of debate"
1t will be seen that the Senator
declared that the evidence Of But
ler's betrayal Of the state was as
conclusive as the evidence of
Benedict Arnold's treachery. to
his country. The Shelby Aurora,
a republican organ, took excep-
ton to the position of Senator
Simmons and declared In his last
issue, that Butler is not a traitor.
Mr.. Simmons made a speech in
the Aurora's town Saturday night
and handed the editor a few jolts
he will not soon forget. The
Senator said:
despite the Aurora, | repeat
the change and / will enlarge it,
Butler is not only a traitor to
North Carolina, bat he has be.
trayed everybody and every cause

with when it was to his intrest tc

COL. LUsK REFORMS.

Col. v. S. Lusk is not out in the
bushes begging the people to vote
for John G. Grant this year like
he did during the last campaign.
The Colonel seems to have reform
ed and is candid enough to ac-
knowledge it. He wants the who'll
kit and bilin' of the new Butler
Morehead alignment whipped to
a FRAGILE" and does not propose
play the hypocrite by taking the
stump in half-hearted way. The
letter he recently w~roterto his
friend Charlie Reynolds shows an
anguish of soul that is pitit bic.
He stands pat upon a former state
ment that the Republican party in
North Carolina this year has lost
its self-respect and sense Of honor
by the adoption of a straddle
plank in its state platform pur-
porting to be a declaration for
local self-government, but which is
being construed by Marion Butler
and Thomas Settle to NEAR a re-
opening Of the liquor question.
Colonel charges bad faith to his
erst-while political associates and
warns republicans to repudiate the
effort to deceive them. He says:
.This is the first time in the his
of the party that we are called
upon to support a measure so bra
zenly conceived in fraud and born
of iniquity. You owe it to your
individual honor, to the honor ,s
our party to your self-respect and
manhood to rebuke this attempt to
dishonor the party by ways that
are dark and tricks that ale vain.

ton, but you don't want it
through dishonest methods. You
don t want it to be clothed in Tire
garb of fraud and falsehood. NJ
party has ever succeeded that ~k
the wong side of a great moral
question"
This looks like the Colonel is
outside the breastworks SO thor
oughly disguested that there is
little chance of reconciliation. The
AsheVille correspondent of the
News and Observer says of the
letter:
"The people of Western North
Carolina happy now that they are
free from the curses Of the bar
room system are plainly grieved
that the leaders who were going
to reform the party and make If

With reference to the Cape Fear

faithful, was sadly among "the

House but went away with the
Taft mark of disapproval. Not
to be deferred, however, by fail
ing to land locally or far locally,
he had his application on file for

tinguished friends, DR.. John M.
Faison, of the Third District, cts.
enought to make a mule laughI'
Mr.. Settle, we understand vot-
ed for the suffrage amendment In
1900 and it was hoped that such
a manifestation of love for his
great native State would reclaim
him for his pact affiliations with
his black allies of the Republican,
ism which North Carolina has IN
deavored to get rid of by dene-
groizing it. However, like the
little boy he was WORE out his
pants, both the knees praying,
and in the seat blacksliding,"
with the result that he has wound
up as a political w%et-nurse of
Mary Ann and his brother George.
Alas, We fear Settle will let the
name of a distinguished father
pass into oblivion for the lack of
a successor who can really keep-up
the fathers reputation.
Thus, the Hon. Thomas Settle, of
Asheville, who now has a political
job belonging to the State of New
York, is a fair sample of latter
day ''local Self-government" ca
North Carolina radical who has
not heard that "Maine went hell
bent" to rid itself of Republican
scent. DR.. Faison thinks the Hon.
Tom had better hurry back to New
York less his local self-govern-
nent principles may debar him
from that office i nNew York. We
can add the further reason that he
is wasting his time IN his attempt
to fool North Carolinians with the
idea that local self-government of
any kind by the Republican party
would justify them in again risk
ling the horrible kind of govern
ment given to North Carolina by
the Republican party every single
time it got into power ia this state.
Neither local self-government nor
any other kind of government,
such as might be expected from
Taft's tabooed North Carolina
Republicanism, is wanted in the
State of North Carolina. Not
while Tar Heels are sane.
