The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-06-23

A hundred years ago Fulton went
up the Hudson from New York to
Albany in the first steamboat The
world was electrified with that
achievement and the possibilities OF
the future in both water and land
transportation, and the progress has
been truly wonderful.
When the Wright brothers built
their first flying machine and made
successful flight, the world again
was thrilled at the achievement and
the possibilities of travelling through
the air; but the progress that has
been made in that line within the
last few years is truly more Won
derful than the developments of
steam navigation and transportation.
Only the other day, Aviator Curtis
flew over identically the same course
that Fulton went in a steamboat
INJURED years ago from Albany to
New York, and made the trip quicker
than the fastest train. Now, another
Aviator named Hamilton has lust
flown from New York TO PHILADELPHIA
and return. Soon We will see trips
from New York to Chicago and
across the continent.
The flying machine is no longer a
toy, and We will soon no doubt see
passengers and freight being carried
by flying machines on regular sched
ules, to say nothing of the POSSIBLE
tiles Of this invention as an engine
of war.

held in Charlotte last week The
members expressed themselves a

The Charlotte Observer and the

the TACT that high-class immigration
does not come to the South, but goes
elsewhere, and they are constantly
asking what is the remedy. The
Caucasian desires again to submit

The real grievance Of the editor Of
the Smithfeld Journal, however.
seems 10 be that Congressman More

rank and file OF the Republican vot-
ers urging them 10 turn out IN full
force TO the primaries, and also send
ing out Of other letters in the Ninth
Congressional District urging the
election OF Mr. AcSinch. the Repub-
lican nominee. These efforts OF Mr..
Morehead are all directed toward

seems TO De his crime in the eyes OF

field Journal has followed the Ashe-
vile Gazette-News and gone into
political partnership with the Raj

tempt to defeat our Republican

head, with the following:
Buffers grievance probably
dates back 10 the time when the
organization had Willis G..
Briggs appointed postmaster at
Raleigh, while he (Butler) was
trying 10 secure the job for his
brother"
The fling which that paper makes
against Mr.. Butler and his brother is
not only gratuituos, but it is false.
Lester F. Butler was a candidate for
postmaster at Raleigh, and was en-
dorsed by majority OF the county
organizations and by a majority OF
the voters Of the county, and by the
Republican nominee for Congress in
this district, and more strongly en-
dorsed than Mr.. Briggs or than any
other candidate. This was recog-
nized and admitted by State Chair s
man Adams; but when Chairman
Adams asked Lester F. Butler to I
for him to appoint Mr..
Briggs, On the ground that he |
thought it would at that time result

Some good Republicans in

appointment of a Democrat for

District. No one regrets the re-
nectlon thus placed upon the

out the blame should be placed
where it belongs. and that is, at
the door of the false and selfish
leadership Of the Republican
party in the State.
In the first place. Mr.. Adams.
the State Chairman. who did not
live in the Eastern District.
wanted to be appointed Judge
himself, and Mr.. Duncan was
willing to unload Adams on the
people Of the east SO that he
could himself be made State
Chairman, and thus become the

q thoughtful editorial II It's last
sue. says:
1T has been quite a while
since the prospects Of the Re
publican party in The State Of
North Carolina has been so
bright as at present With three
Congressional Districts certainly
and safely Republican. with
good fighting chance IN several
others, indeed the outlook is TO
seate for the success Of the Re-
publican cause al the approach
ing fall elections. Rarely a
week passes but the announce
ment is made Of new recruits TO
the party OF progress and mod
ern ideas.
The progressive and business
element Of our citizens are learn
ing that the interest of the State
along the line OF manufacture
and commerce can best be pro-
NOTED by adopting the wise pol
icies OF the Republican party,
and they are cutting loose from
the traditions, passions and pref
udices Of the past and lining up
with a party that stands for the
upbuilding Of the State and the
whole country, regardless Of sec
ton or geographical location.
1T may not come this year,
nor next, but it is only matter
of time when North Carolina
will be as safely Republican as
Rhode Island or New Hampshire.
Her every interest demand it,
North Carolina with her vast re-
sources lying dormant can not
much longer be kept out OF her
own by clinging to a party held
together by an appeal TO the pas
sions and prejudices of the peo-
pie by designing demagogues,
just for the sake of the emolu-
ments Of office, while the best
interest of the State are left to
drift along the best they may.
Then, again, the conditions
which now prevail in the admin
istration Of our State govern
ment will not be tolerated much
longer by the voters OF the State.
Sooner or later there will be a
severe shaking up and a rafting
of the dry bones. The mighty
will fall, and great will be the
fall"
The Dispatch has stated correctly
he opportunity presented for Repub-
can growth and success, but the
uestion now before US is, Will this
pportunity be utilized, or will it be
lrown away?
The Mount Airy Leader, in a recent
iitorial, stated the prospects for Re
growth similarly to the
bove, but it went one step further
I'D said that this is the oppor-
unity that lies before US, but re-
-uits will not come to US unless we
ave something to offer. That paper
roceeded to explain what is meant,
further saying that the recruits
lat wanted TO come to US and that
ere necessary for Republican sue
ass, would never come to the party
long as it was led by the present
e-counter bosses. It declared that
lie present so-called organization of
lie Republican party had been a
.ilure, and that there must be a
sw deal. 1t stated that there must
: put at the head OF the party men
no not only wanted to win recruits,
1t men who had the character and
opacity to do SO. and that if the
ext State Convention would do this.
at then We would realize on orr
eat opportunity.
We feel satisfied that the State
lspatch concurs heartily in the SEN
nents expressed by the Mount Airy
eader, and We further feel satisfied
at nine-tenths Of the voters of the
ate will go to the primaries and ex-
ess their sentiments, and that the

are.
