ASKS THAT HALT BE CALLED
ON RADICAL RAILROAD BILLS
A Prominent Railroad Man De-
clares That Legislation AZ
fects Business.
GETTING PUBLIC INTERESTED

+. A. Griffin, prominent railroad
man OF Chicago. whose office is In the
Western Union building has issued an
appeal 10 the people of the country,
and particularly the working men,
asking them 10 demand OF their ma
tional and state representatives that a
halt be called on railroad legislation.
Mr.. Griffin contends that the attitude
OF congress and the state legislatures
has caused great set back for the
railway enterprises of this country.
He says that many Of the men who
are making the laws are not familiar
with the true inwardness of the rela-
tiCns and interdependence of the man
ufacturing and business interests and
the railroads.
Mr.. Griffin says that the progress to-
wards the Improvement of the railroad
systems throughout the county, which
was fairly started during the latter
part Of last year. has been halted sud-
denly with no likelihood that ii will be
resumed until the attitude OF the ma
tional government is more thoroughly
understood. The railroads are in
rundown condition, due to the lack of
repairs during the two years depres-
sion preceding 1909. Great losses will
result as a consequence of the made
Quacy of the railroads To handle the
enormous business that is now avail
able. The one great and most appar-
cnt element which has caused this
hesitation is that the railroad corpora
tions OF this country have stopped the
purchase OF anything beyond their
immediate necessities. and betterments.
amounting 10 over one thousand mill
lion dollars, have been held up.
IL has been customary for many
years past for railroads To prepare
their budgets of expenditures on the |
first of each year. If these budgets /.
had been prepared on the basis Of ne
cessities, the outlook for general bust |
ers, would be exceptionally good for
1910. These budgets. he states, have
not been presented and are not within T
the call. or even within the sight of /
those who would probably welcome 4
them. The railroads, he says, would .
gladly enter on a year of liberal ex-
penditures. but as matters now stand
ii is possible that they will be obliged
To drop back to the condition they were
I'm i'm 1907 and in 1908, and purchase
nothing but that which is absolutely
essential The reason is exactly the
same as the one that existed i'm the
early part Of 1907, radical railroad reg
ulation.

IF it is wrong to steal Demo-

To the Democratic party the in

their ballots in the rural mail-hoxoS

THE DEMOCRATIC POLL TAX
TRICK.

The Durham correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, in a dispatch of
May 9Th, says that over 1900 white
voters in that county were disfran-
chlsed by the poll-tax provisio which
requires one to pay his poll-tax be-
fore the first of May in order to be
eligible to vote in November.
The vicious effect of this Demo-
cratic trick exists to a greater or less
degree in every county in the State
Judging from the enormous number
disfranchised in Durham County. it
is safe to say that the number dis
tranchised in the State at large will
reach something like the appalling
number Of hundred thousand white
voters.
What good purpose is to be served
by such trick legislation as this?
Should not every voter, who is other
wise qualified, be allowed to vote if
he could show his poll-tax receipt on
the day of election? Certainly, a re-
qulrement that his tax should be paid
thirty days before the election long
enough for any purpose to be served
thereby.
Surely the time has come for tho
people to repudiate Democratic ring
rule, trick rule, and general failure
to enact and enforce wise, Just and
wholesome laws.
Local self-government must be re-
stored, and the Republican party can
do this if it will throw off the rule
OF the pie-counter bosses.

The CONTRAST BETWEEN KING
EDWARD AND KING GEORGE
THE FIFTH.

The death of King Edward, of Eng
land, has not only been universally
mourned by the people of his own
country but by all the nations of the
world. He was the type of man that
the English people would have elect
ed President if they had a Republi-
can form of government; but the
fact that his successor, George ", is
not the kind of man, so far as he is
known, that would to-day be elected
president by Englishmen if they had
an opportunity to vote on the ques-
ton, must accentuate in the mind of
every Englishman, outside of the
hereditary class, the desira bility of a
Republican form of government.
1t is true that the liberty-loving
Englishman have constantly been
clipping off the power and preroga-
tive of their King until to-day the
King of England has less power than
the President of the United States.
But the fact, that the man who comes
nearer filling the ideal of the English
man for head of his government can
not be selected Is no doubt recognized
as an obstacle to liberty and progress.
and that the monarchical system
must soon give way before the uni
versal growth of the spirit of liberty
over the world. The trip which
Pres. Roosevelt is making through
Europe, and the wonderful demon
strations from the masses of the peo-
PIE in every country, are an evidence
OF this growing spirit of liberty in
every civilized country in the world |.

WHY WAS HIS SALARY IN
CREASED

Mr. VI. L. Shipman, Commissioner
OF Labor and Printing. and Chair
man OF the Democratic Committee In
| the Tenth District. has returned TO
| Raleigh after a very extended trip 10
| Hendersonyilie and other points In
| the Tenth District and Is quoted By
| the Democratic papers as saying that
conditions are very satisfactory IN his
District and that the trend Is toward
Democracy
The trend may be toward Democ-
headed toward the Democratic party,
and II Mr.. Shipman will attend a
few more town elections in his Dis
| trict, Hon. John G. Grant will have
an easy walk-over this fall. Hender-
sonville. the home of Congressman
Grant and Commissioner Shipman,
held a town election last week and
the town went Republican, mayor
and all. with the exception Of one
Democratic alderman. At one time
the Democrats controlled all the city
Offices, but now have lost all save one
lonely alderman-and still Mr.. Ship
man says that in his District the
trend is toward Democracy.
While the above is all to the point,
and is very apropos. still it is not ex-
actly what we started out to say.
1t will be remembered that the last
Legislature increased the salary of
the Commissioner of Labor and Print
ing because he was worked so hard
and had so many more duties to per-
form now than was required of the
Commissioner in former years Now
we hope it will not be considered i'm
pertinent when we ask if one of these
duties was to run Democratic politics
in the Tenth District at the expense
of the taxpayers in North Carolina,
46 per cent of whom are Republi-
cans? We don't recall that there is
cotton mill in the Tenth District
outside of Asheville, and yet Mr..
Shipman has been in the District, to
spend some time, twice recently, and
if he discovered anything of interest
to the taxpayers, the only thing he
had to give to the press on his re-
turn each time was that the trend
was toward Democracy.
Now can any one tell why the sal
airy of the Commissioner of Labor
and Printing was increased by the
last Legislature?

Iowa, was vacant. The Office paid
