DEPARTURE IS DANGEROUS

It would be unfair to hold Presi- dent Taft responsible as yet for the plan for a new government in Alaska which is now being outlined in the newspapers. since he has not official Iy recommended it. Yet there are marks which indicate his interest in i.. The government ioreshadOwed is based on the Philippine commission, for there are to be nine cOuncilmen or commissioners of whom a minority, four. are to be elected, MT. Tatts plan being. according to report, a strongly centralized government ad- ministered by comparatively few men" Without discussing today whether this is really the only altern- auve Iet. in dealing with Alaska this abandonment of the democratic theory of government and even the historic form for the administration of a Territory later to become a stat we must point out the danger that comes from our departure from re publican forms in the Philippines. We heard much when We f st took our rash plunge into Imperialism about the way governing others for their unadulterated good was to benefit our owa political life. But here is about the first case We can record in which the Philippine experiment is affecting home conditions. and it is in quite the wrong direction. People scofted the idea that ruling by g,n. erals or by commissions in Cuba Porto Rico. in Panama and the Phil ippiRes. could react on our own po- liucal ideas, but now we see that it may.

trust with oficitl positions in the

statement and fact. The thought
is humiliating in the extreme.
The Republican party in North
Carolina stands in the attitude of
endorsing its own degradation.

A man who has labored, in season

REPUBLICANS HARD UP.

The Republicans of North Car
DINA continue to show their afec-
tons for renegade and disgruntled
Democrats. In a number of coun-
ties old line republicans are being
told by their bosses that they must
stand aside and give the right of
way to new recruits-sore-head
democrats who indicate a willing
ness to barter away manhood for
petty position. The Republican
bosses resort to this same scheme
every two years and have added
to their ranks a good many demo-
Gratis so-called to their ranks. Most
any sort of democrat looks good
to the dictators and the rank and
file swallow whatever is placed
before them, if it is called a repub-
lican ticket, without even investi-
eating the character and political
integrity of the men representing
it. The Lexington Dispatch cites
instances of this practice IN dis
trict matters. 1t says:
"The republicans seem to be as
hard put to to find congression-
al timber this year as President
Taft was to find a republican fit to
be a federal judge in the eastern

FARMERS PLATFORM


The farmers do not often
make requests for legislation
which might aid them in the adj
vancement of their honored oc-
cupation. They have been plod
ding along, in a quiet, ~contented
way, entrustlng their affairs, so
far as relates to legislative mat
tiers, to men who were too often
Ignorant of their needs. But an
organization has recently taken
hold upon our farmer friends
and q legislative committee of
the Farmers Union will en-
deavor to bring some things to
pass during the sessions of va
rious state assemblies and the
Congress next winter. The Ma
tional Farmers Union, which re-
Gently met in Charlotte, made a
number of recommendations
that were referred to its legisla-
tive committee. These recon-
mendations constitute a declara-
ton of principles for which the
organization stands and we pub
lish the gist of them for the bene-
fit of our rural subscribers in
Henderson county.
1--WE recommend the follow
ing subjects of legislation to
which the attention of our legis-
lative committee is directed.
IA law to prevent gambling
in agricultural products by
boards of trade and cotton ex-
changes.
PA law providing for the es-
Enlistment of parcels post.
"a law against the estab-
blishment of central COVER
ment banks" through which the
nancy of the country may be
withdrawn from circulation, and
the volume of available money
contracted.
"A law to restrict foreign
immigration.
ga law gradually reducing
the tariff to a revenue basis.
believing that the doctrine
"that no man can serve two mas
ters'' is as true today as when it
was uttered by the Saviour of
mankind nearly twenty CEN
turtles ago, we favor a law topro-
hibit public officials from accept
ing fees, gifts or loans or other
emoluments from public service
corporations.
AS education is mi of the
basic principles in this organi-
cations, and as agricultural and
as agricultural and industrial
education are of most vital i'm
portance to our people, we re-
commend to the various state
unions throughout this juris-
diction that they demand of their
state legislatures the enactment
of laws for the establishment of
agricultural schools, and expert
mental farms where scientific
knowledge may be obtained and
distributed free to the farmers,
and that the elementary princi-
Piles in the public schools so that
the youths of the land may be
thoroughly equipped in the scin-
tific knowledge and the practis
cal of farming.

SASASSS3
Hon. W. T. Crawford said in
part:
"I take this opportunity to
thank every democrat in the tenth
district who did what he could
to sustain the cause of democracy
at the recent election. While we
have been defeated the party is
neither discouraged nor disorgan-
lied and In my judgment, the
district will take its place in the
democratic column at the next
election. $50" Different causes
have contributed to u defeat,
false and bogus issues doubtless
lost us some votes"
"In addition, there was not en-
tire harmony and oneness of pur-
pose among democrats in some of
the counties on local matters,
which is apparent after the smoke
has cleared away. But these
things cannot continue. If our
theory of government is correct,
the people have the wisdom to
discover truth and falsehood, and
the integrity and manhood to ac-
cept the truth and repudia1e err
ror." The party in the district
has not lost, but gained votes.
The election returns show that
the vote is larger by 1900 to 1000
votes than at any election since
1900. 1t also appears that MI.
Tafts majority over Nh. Bryan,
In the district is several hundred
more than Mr.. Grant s over me,
my vote being substantially the
same as the local and state tick
ets." 81 have no complaint to
make, or criticism to offer. When
the verdict of the people is rem
dered, / am content. But my
faith in the ultimate triumph of
the principles of the democratic
party is mistaken"
These were the utterances of
W. T. Crawford while yet under
the shadow of an unexpected and
inglorious defeat. But he was a
man and a democrat and will
ever be. Who dares to suggest
that he did not speak what he be-
lieved to be true. The Tenth dis
trlct democrats came out of that
fight with less republican gains
to contemplate than any other
district in the State, west of Raj
eigh. 356 is a mighty small mar
gin, and Mr.. Crawford will see
"the district take its place In the
democratic column at the next
election sure enough. "False"
and bogus" issues have been ex-
posed, the republican party dis
credited and democratic prin-.
ciples INDICATED, local dissen-
existing in a number of coun-
ties two years ago, have -disap-
peared and democrats are deter
mined upon correcting the pal
pable wrong inflicted upon the
district at that time. Mr. Grant

Yes, Mr.. Crawford, "the peo-

The result of the election in Nov

rectness of this conclusion, in a
manner that cannot be misunder-

There is one Republican in North
Carolina who has exhibited the
courage of his convictions that the
State convention of the Republi-
cans this year made a fool of it.
self. In an extended communica.
ton to his old friend, Postmaster
Charley Reynolds, of Winston
Salem, Colonel Virgil S. Lusk, the
old Republican "war-horse," of
Buncombe county, reviews the
proceedings of the convention,
outlines the inconsistencies perpe-
trated upon the rank and fl3 oe
the party and asks what an honest
Republican can say in defense of
its conclusions. He plainly indi-
Gates his disgust at the humilia-
ton put upon himself and other
Republicans by the endorsement
of President Taft's declaration
that he could find no Republican
lawyer in eastern North Carroll
ma fit to be Judge of a Federal
court and in the face of the con-
vention's action in passing this
resolution, afterwards nominating
three men for supreme court JUS
tees whom Mr.. Taft had stood
aside when he appointed Judge
Connor.
Col. Lusk goes on to say that
leaders of his . party have dis
graced themselves by endorsing
the Presidents declaration that
Hicks, Timberlake and Skinner
were not fit and respectable
enough for Judicial positions and
in the next breath taking action
which falsiied their own utter
ances. The Colonel's letter con-
tains many indictments against
the Republican party as at pres
ent constituted, In North Carroll
IA. In it he AYERS that the Presl-
dent of the United States is a fall
siier and frankly admits that the
Republican State convention IN
dorsed Mr.. Tart s views tnat the
Republican party in this state is
not respectable. Bearing upon
this feature Of the conventions
work Colonel Lusk says:
"The refusal of the convention
to place the responsibility where it
~rightfully belongs places the Re-
publican party in the humiliating
attitude before the world of &C
knowledging the truth of the Sian
derous declarations of the Presi-
dent, that North Carolina Repub-
licans are not fit to hold Office un-
der the Federal Government, and
justifes him in the eyes of the
public in appointing Democrats to
office, even if he is forced to go to
the Congo for an African suitable
to his conception of fitness instead
of a North Carolina Republican.
If such is to be the continued
policy of the administration at
Washington, it becomes an inter
esting question as to what will be
the effect upon the $4,000 Repub-
lican voters in the State who pro-
test against such administration
methods. If they are the brave,
self-respecting, independent citi-
zens that I have been taught to be-
lieve they are, they will rise up in
their might and rebuke this action
of the convention endorsing their
attempted humiliation. If the
convention. had said as did Mr..
Skinned, We excuse the Presi-
dent we could have accepted
even that excuse with the same
forgiving spirit that the Christian
world excused Judas Iscariot but
when the convention endorses,
that means approval of what has
already been done, and in this in
stance the convention approved
the slanderous imputation of the
Republican party in the state.
