The Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1910-04-28

We tender our Fluctuations to
the Honorable John Alexander
Rowland, nominated at the pri-
mary on Tuesday last for his
third term as Mayor Of this pro-
gressive municipality. Mr.. Row
land did not really begin to run
until last Saturday, when he dis
covered that two candidates had
been brought out against him.
After that he flew. He has made
a fine official, has a nice sense of
the proprieties of his position,
and will look we'll after the in
terests of our town.

the system, Of which he is the
recognized head, that all well-or-
dered minds condemn. That Gov.
Hughes is a friend of the corpor-
atoms, in any corrupt or impro-
per sense, we do not believe, and
his active agency in exposing the
great insurance frauds is strong
evidence. even proof, to the con-
trary.
AS to the income tax, while the
country pretty generally favors
such a law, and we are of the
number, if the proposed measure
will have the effect Of more
strongly intrenching the Federal
government, and weakening the
rights Of the states, as was point
ed out by Gov. Hughes. we, too,
are opposed to it, for already we
have had too much Capitalization.
But be this as it may. Mr..
Bryan has not all of the intelli-
gence, honesty and character
left upon the earth, and his as
sumption that all who do not
agree with him are dishonest has
become tiresome.

MR.. BRYAN'S SNARI..

Did you ever know Mr.. Bryan
to say a pleasant thing about
anyone, unless it was someone
who was the echo of himself?
He is just now knocking"
Gov Hughes, appointed by Presi-
dent Taft to the bench of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, charging him with being
a friend of Rockefeller and
the corporations, an insincere
reformer, and being opposed to
the income tax.
That Hughes is a personal
friend of Rockefeller's, if such
be the case, goes for nothing. Il
is not Rockefeller, the man, but

conditions. while condemnation
should at all times be carefully
guarded.
Concede, if you will, that an
official has made a mistake, that
which to US appears as a serious
mistake. First, let us put our
selves in his place, as near as
may be. If we cannot do this,
we should maintain silence, for
no man is competent to judge of
another's actions until he sur
rounds himself with the same
conditions. Having done this, and
having determined that the con-
clusion at which our official ar
rived was fallacious, let us then
inquire if he was honest. If he
was. and yet was wrong, there
should be calm, judicious criti-
cism, but denunciation is alto
gether out of place, and is posi-
lively harmful.
We are led into this train of
thought by some experiences of
Governor Kitchin. We hold no
brief for him, for causes we'll
undertood by him, were against
him in the recent gubernatorial
contest, but however much he
may have erred in some matters,
where he was called upon to act,
about which we, in the absence
Of full knowledge, express no
opinion, we are confident that he
did that which he thought was
right. That as Governor he
has borne himself with digni-
ty worthy of the best traditions
of that high Office, all must ad-
NIT. This in simple justice to a
worthy gentleman, who does not
think as we do on some public
questions, but with whom we can
differ, and for whom we can yet
have sincere respect and high
regard.

In an elective government,

government lies in the confidence

|R Thomas A. Wise. co.author, knew
what he was doing when he assisted
in the writing Of this play. He had
the leading character in his mind oil
the time, and he played It himself.
The character OF William Fl. Lang.
don. which was played last night By
Robert A. Fischer is an ideal man
of the SOUTH. Sent to the Senate. as
he Is, he refuses to deal in anything
unworthy OF the soSthern gentleman
In tho form of graft and dishonesty.
Mr.. Fischer was this ideal. The
great Dig wholc-sonlcd southerner. I'M
the face OF crooked opposition and
cruel threats, refuses to enter into
compact of Grarters. and finally by
his noble straightforward nature
makes them come over to his way of
thinking. III the part Mr.. Fischer
scored. when was more than verified
by the manner, with Which his work
was received BIZ the large audience.
There we're times when Mr.. Fischer
was called upon for scenes OF more
fGrcible nature, and at others. when
he finds his son and daughter have.
apparently dlshonored the name OF
Langdon. when scenes Of a q more
pathetic nature are required. In both
instances thegactor appeared to much
advantage and his portrayal showed
him to bee man worthy of his call.
