THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE.

On Monday last the Chief Justice
Of the United States Supreme Court,
properly termed the most august tri-
bunal in the world, passed away, af-
ter a service extending over twenty
two years, and during a period when
many momentous questions were
passed upon by that body. While
appointed by Democratic President,
and generally accredited with being
a Democrat himself, there was never
the slightest faint of political bias in
any Of the decisions or actions of the
late Chief Justice.
In view of the important matters
now before the Court, there is much
anxious speculation as to who will be
his successor. Associate Justice
Moody will probably shortly resign
owing to i'll health, thus making two
vacancies in the court for the Presi-
dent to fill. That the latter may be
relied upon to make suitable selec-
tions in these important Offices, it is
needless to say. 1t is a matter of
sincere congratulation that the ap-
pointments to these high Offices have,
almost, without exception, met the
approval of every right-minded citi-
zen, regardless OF politics.

FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT DEM.
OCRATS FEAR MOREHEAD AS
REPUBLICAN LEADER.

The fact that the Democratic ma
chine of this State fear the election
of Congressman Morehead as Repub-
lican State Chairman is being abund-
antly proven by the attempts to mis-
represent anything that is favorable
to the election of the Fifth District
Congressman. They know full we'll
that the selection of the latter means
a militant, aggressive Republican
party and that the party will no
longer be under the "pie counter"
bosses.
We invite our readers attention to
the report published in our columns
of the convention of the Nash Coun-
ty Republicans, where a large ma
jority of the delegates chosen were
Morehead men. That it was a repre-
sentative body of men, any one pres
emit knows, and that it was enthusi-
astic for Republican success is also
most certainly So In support of our
statement that the Democrats fear
Morehead's success, read the following
garbled and distorted account in the
News and Observer of that same
meeting:
Spring Hope, July 5.-The Re
publicans of Nash County held their
county convention yesterday at Nash

Bailey was elected chairman, and

THINGS LOOKING UP.

Raleigh is erecting a $685.
900 municipal building, the fig
ures named including the cost
of the lot. The city ring was
overthrown a year or so ago,
just as the county ring was
recently, and in the matter Of
municipal progress things are
looking up in Raleigh. Put
ting new people in the saddle
will doubtless be a good thing
for the county of Wake also."-
Greensboro Telegram.
Our Greensboro contemporary
fails to mention the fact that the
people of Raleigh, after experiment.
ing with the alleged reform crowd
headed by Josephus Daniels and J..
William Bailey for one year, en-
phatically turned them down by a
majority of nearly five hundred, af-
ter electing them to Office by nearly
seven hundred.
The sham and pretense of reform,
headed by these two strange bed
fellows, has been ruthlessly exposed
in the utter failure of the present
city administration to carry out one
single pledge made to the people at
that time. Taxes have been in
creased, instead of being reduced as
promised, derelict officials are still in
Office and one officer, whom many
regard as being thoroughly inno-
cent of wrong-doing, and who was
suspended from office by this reform
bunch Ga more dignified word will
hardly fit, has not been prosecuted
as promised.
One year ago, by just the sort OF
campaign as they recently conducted
in the county, these two reformers
carried the city. Now they stand
repudiated by those who know them
best. No Philadelphia or New York
Tammany ring ever eQualled these
two political fakirs in brazen eff
frontery.
The people of Raleigh, without re-
gard to political creed, are asking
their country brethren to help them
deliver the county from the contro

short time ago called the other ''s

by calling his a "charlatan" and q

hearing rambling speeches from the
Hon. Mary Ann Butler and the Hon.
Isaac VI. Meekins. They made very
long speeches, and even their Repuo-
Iican friends were disappointed The
fact of the matter was that the two
men, both of whom are good speak
ers. were laboring under disadvan-
tages. They represent different fac
tons in the party, and they didn't
know exactly how the convention
stood. They seemed afraid to turn
loose for fear they would fire OF
some hidden mine. That's the way
il seemed to a looker-on.
..RutIer for Morehead for Chairman"
Butler talked about a multitude
of things: politics. religion. philoso-
ply. Editor Lincke. of the Nashville
Graphic, whom he denounced; Con-
gresham J. VI. Morehead, who he
said should be elected State Chair
man, and about President Taft's pol
icy in making Federal appointments.
He introduced a resolution endorsing
Taft, and said that it was the pur-
pose to have a delegate introduce the
resolution, but that he had written
it and as the delegate couldn't read
his handwriting, he would introduce
it. The resolution endorsed Presi-
dent Taft's Greensboro speech. Butler
said the same resolution would be
passed in the Sampson County Con-
yention. The resolution went through
with a whoop.
..Meekins Agin Marse Carl Also"
The speech of the Hon. Isaac
Meekins was a sort of whooping up
kind and it was greeted with ap-
plause. The Assistant District At
torney didn't turn himself loose, for
he evidently didn't know the temper
Of the convention, and it is said that
it altogether against the present
State organization. Mr.. Meekins was
very much of diplomat, and al
though Joe Jones (nephew of would
be Nashville Postmaster, Grifin) i,
said Mr.. Meekins ought not to have
butted in, still everything moved
smoothly.
Mr.. Buffers resolution said that
no Federal officer should be appoint
ed unless he had the endorsement of
the people among whom he is to
serve. 1t was introduced in John G.
Matthews name and went through
with a whoop. The Colonel hadn't
evidently seen the resolution before
it was passed, for it might have some
bearing on his candidacy for the
Spring Hope postofice.'
Such reports as the above are only
natural from paper that greatly
fears Mr.. Morehead as State Republi-
can leader, because they know he
would lead the Republican party to
success, and therefore, the Demo-
cratic politicians want the ''pie coun-
ter bosses to continue to control the
Republican party.
