The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1910-08-25

Body guards, secret service
men, and the like "cut very little
ice" with the fellow who quietly
and secretly determines to do muir
der. A barking dog seldom bites,
and the man who openly threatens
violence upon his fellow man is
usually lacking in courage to do
execution. Gallagher secretly de-
termined to assasinate Mayor
Gaynor and said nothing about it.
When an opportunity presented
itself the deed was done right
under the noses, so to speak, of
the Mayors personal guard. Pres
idents Garfield and Mckinley met
death in a manner very similar,
surrounded by secret service men.
1t is the man who keeps his coun-
sci whose movements should be
observed.

Only on the score of innate per-
versity can we account for any
person, outside of the trusts and
the pie brigade, voting the Re-
publican ticket in North Carolina
this year Faithfully we have
tried to find some reason why one
who claims one speck OF patriot
ism or the slightest idea of self
preservation can herd with Marion
Butler and his associates in the
state, Or stand for the behavior of
the party nationally, but our
our search has been In vain.
To prove our position do we
need to recall to the memories of
our readers the disgraceful hap
penings when this self-same aggre-
gation-blind followers of Marion
Butler s cork-screw-brain schemes
held the reins of the state gov
eminent? Isn't it mere surplus
age to enumerate the instances,
nationally, where the supposed
servants of the people have de-
hberately turned their backs GA
every pledge made to their con-
stituents, with a loyalty to the
trusts and monopolies worthy of j
better cause?
To say nothing of its former
members ; actions, the present Re
publican administration of public
affairs has been one of extrava-
gance and perfdity, with abso-
lutely no regard for any man s
rights who was not hand in glove
with the powers that held sway.
Through Cannon and Aldrich,
with Sherman as a igurehead,
they have throttled the right of
free speech in congress, and have
put burden of tariff on the citi-
zenship that amounts, in its ex-
tremity, to robbery, for the bene-
fits of the trusts and combines of
which some of them are members,
and which furnishes the money to.
oil the machines that keep them LII
Office. They have countenaced the
waste of our resources, and white
washed the man who was convict
ed of making possible and partici
pating in the distribution of our
natural wealth to their favorite

"Powhatan, musical anG
very pretty opera, will be giver
at the Auditorium tonight.
The opera will be given under
the direction of Mr.. L. Baker, and
the caste is composed of Hender-
sOnvlle people entirely. The re,
hearsals have been long and ardu-
Gus, but both principals and the
large chorus have obtained a re-
markable degree of efficiency in
their various parts.
"Powhatan" has a wealth of
pretty songs, the costumes are
brilliant, the plot of the play in
teresting, and if you want to
spend a pleasant evening profta-
bly,, go to the Auditorium tonight.
Evil Speaking.
Young Folks.
To indulge In personalities In
conversation is, to say the least
dangerous. 1t is much better to
talk, of things, objects, thoughts.
Whatever you do, if you speak of
another, speak no evil of him.
Find that which is good In his
character and conduct, and speak
of that. To cut up character and
to dissect motives evidences a
smallness of mind and baseness
of spirit which will beittle you in
every hearers mind. Healthy peo-
pie do not care to dine at a dis
secting table. People of sound
principles do not care to feast on
the hash of the gossip which are
the results of the cutting tongue
of the person who delights to
speak evil of his neighbor, and in
violation of the eight command
ment, puts an uncharitable con-
struction on all his neighbor s
words and action. There is evil
enough In the constitution and
life of every man. 1t is easy to find
it; but far more helpful to seek
and find the good and ennobl-
ling.

The defeat Of Congressman Dun
can McKinlay, Of California, for
denomination in his district clear
ly shows that there are some IN
dependent republicans on the Pa
cifc Slope as well as elsewhere
Mr.. McKinlay came down to the
tenth district republican conven-
ton in Asheyille last April and
gave the delegates a dissertation
on the new tariff law, the ship
subsidy bill and other republican
measures, little dreaming that the
advice he was giving North Caro-,
lima republicans would be rejected
by his own people. The result IN
California means that republican
policies are In disrepute out there
too. This is significant.

boodlers. They have fallen down
in their supposed attempt to ea,
force the tariff law they made, b.
permitting the sugar frauds, and
other smuggling. They have
spent more money and accomplish
ed less in the way of really i'm
portant legislation than any other
congress that ever sat in Washing
ton. They have continued, by
failing to put into effect what
they positively assert is the rem
edy for the evil, deficit in the
poSt-ofice department that it has
been asserted is so great as to
threaten to cut off the rural free
delivery service of the great
est conveniences that the govern
ment has ever bestowed upon the
country population. They have
raised the price Of food and cloth
ing out of all proportion to its &C,
tual cost of production, and made
possible the now common practice
of selling Advantageous and
American-made commodities in
foreign markets for much less
than the price at home. They
have allowed the use of the ships
of the navy for personal purposes,
at an expense that is a great item :,
to say the least. They have swal-
lowed the defiance of Cannon, and
run like turkeys when he dared
them to depose him from the po-
sition where their trucking had
placed him. Members of their
party and pets of their measures
have been charged with bribery
and corruption, and the charges
bid fair to be proven,
And so on, ad infnitum. In
short, the whole program of the
action of the Republican party
has been that special interests
might have wealth and the fat Of
the land at the expense of the
honest citizen who earns his bread
by the 10 loves
and keeps alive his. coGntt. : and its
power by sacrifices that its foun-
ders never dreamed would be re-

Victor Murdoch, Kansas insur-
gent, gave to the Associated Press
this statement: 1.-THE significance
Of the overwhelming insurgency
victory in Kansas is two-fold.
First, it is a complete reputation
Of both Cannon and the system by
which he has robbed the people of
free government in the house.
Scott, Miller and Reed were chair
men of important house commit
tees while Calderhead was on the
ways and means committee. All
were beaten because they subscrib-
ed to the Cannon system. Second,
the Kansas insurgent victory is an
effort by the republicans of Kan
sas to say with emphasis to the ma
ton that the republican party Of
Kansas, by endorsing Governor
Stubs and Kansas insurgents in
congress stands for immediate and
effective legislation framed to
drive special and selfish interests
out of control in American pol
tiles. So sa E

A rather peculiar circumstane

arose to challenge Col. Lusk' s at
tack on President Taftis South
ern policy. 'EI want to see a
man who will rise up" said Col.
Lusk, "and endorse the action of

publcans are not fit Office holders
Then Mr.. Skinner arose. 81
challenge the statement, he said.
There was great disorder and
what was said could not be heard.
Later Mr.. Skinner, gaining the
the floor, said: t'While | do not
favor the Conner appointment, /
excuse the President under the
circumstances" Col. Lusk want
ed to ask him did he endorse the
President saying that he (Skin-
ner) was not fit to hold a judicial
appointment. The question was
lost in the confusion and noise and
hOwls.
Col. Lusk deserves great credit
in the opinion of many for hav-
ing the manhood to make a fight
for the slight reprimand of Pred-
dent Taft for giving all the high
Offices to Democrats in the South.
Col. Lusk opened the fire works
and there were others who would
have followed but there was not
an opportunity. The part of the
platform referring to President
Taft reads:
eve pledge our continued lOya-
ly to William Howard Taft, Pre-
sident of the United States, and
leader of our party. We heartily
congratulate both him and the Re
publican majorities in the Sixty
first Congress on the extradi-
naory number of wise measures
which, in accordance with the
promises of our national .conven-
ton, have already been enacted

the party in power has soprompt-
ly made good so many of its promi
ses to the people. -
Col Lusk's resolution introduc-
ed as an amendment, follows:
81 That we reafrm our ale
glance and devotion to the princi-
pies of the Republican party.
8" We cordially commend the
zeal and sincerity of President
Taft In his effort to enact into
law the promises of our National
platform, but candor and self-res-
pect, however, cOnstrain us to de-
clare that we cannot endorse the
action of the President in appoint
ing Democrats only to all the
higher Offices which he has thus
far given to Southern men, to the
exclusion of competent and equal
ly well qualified Republican ap-
plicants for the positions award
ed to Democrats instead !; that it
is already demonstrated that such
a course wins neither the votes
nor the thanks of Democrats,
while it necessarily wounds and
discourages Republicans who
have under most adverse and try
ing conditions labored long and
suffered much because Of their
party faith. +"
But no canche was allowed for
discussion Of Mr.. Pearson arose
from his seat, and Chairman Set
tie caught his eye, but in an In
slant the chairman put the ques-
ton, shutting out the gentlemen
from Buncomb and the roller
went crashing on.
