WOODROW WILSON AT THE
STATE UNIVERSITY.

Hon. Woodrow Wilson. in hiz
speech at the commencement or the
State University. dipped, We thought
al the time, rather deeply into parn-
san politics, and also mo personal
and current politics as affecting the
coming OF the presidential rare We
did not comment upon tbs view OF
the speech in our last issue, because
We had about decided that IL other
papers did not take the same view
that We would let the matter pass.
In this connection, however, we
feel that as a staunch friend OF the
University We can and should say
that II Is not advisable TO invite for
commencement orators men who are
pronounced and active candidates for
a political Office Of either party. The
tendency OF the speakers in all such
cases Is to fall into the mistake made
by Hon. Woodrow Wilson in this
case.
We were also mindful of the fact
that several years ago, what seemed
to be pronounced Wall Street inf1u-
ences were advocating Mr.. Wilson for
the Presidency, while at the present
time Mr. Wilson seems to be playing
to the galleries on the line of Mr.
Bryan's former campaign.
With this condition of affairs, of
course, no one but himself, unless
others have been taken into his con-
fidence, can know just what position
he would occupy as President if he
should be elected.
At any rate is to be very much
regretted that a partisan political
speech was made at the State Univer-
sity.

THE SOUTH AND WEST SEEING
DANGER OF DEMOCRATIC POL
ICIES

In another column we publish an
editorial clipped from the last issue
of Harper's Weekly, headed Warn
ing From the South This editorial
comments upon an editorial in the
Manufacturers Record showing that
the farmers and manufacturers of the
South are getting their eyes opened
as to the possible dangerous influence
of the Democratic policies as now be-
ing advocated in Congress.
In this connection, we desire also
to call attention to significant inter-
view published in another column
from Senator Hemenway, of Illinois,
to the same effect. Indiana is as
much an agricultural State as is
North Carolina, and it would seem
that the people of that State have
been deceived and are being aroused
to the danger of Democratic policies
as are the people of the whole South.

WARNING FROM THE SOUTH.
The People Are beginning 60 Fear .
Return OF the Low Prices and
Hard Times Under the Last Dem
ocratic Administration

Harper's Weekly
In the Manufacturers Record, of
Baltimore. Richard H Edmonds
sounds a note OF warning TO Chair
man Underwood, OF the Ways and
Means Committee. and the other
Democrats OF each branch of Con-
gress who are making sweeping as
saults on the protective system.
The introduction of a tariff bill put
ting on the free list many produtes
of the South once more illustrates
that the South's worst enemes are
often to be found among its own
public men. In tines past the ma
terial development of this section
has been seriously halted by the I'M
wisdom of the agitation Of men of
the South rather by injury done by
outsiders
The Manufacturers Record Is a
non-partisan publication, Mr.. Ed
monds, its editor, is a close student
of industrial conditions throughout
the country, but especially in the
South. In the article from which we
quote he adds, Every business in
terest in the South-the lumber peo-
pie, the iron and coal interests, the
mica interests, merchants, farmers
and laborers alike-is vitality con-
cerned n a fair measure of protec-
ton to every industry in the South. +"
Every word here used applies to the
North and West also.
The protective policy is national,
not sectional. It aims to aid every
important industry which needs
any custom-house defense, regard
less altogether of the region in which
it exists. Under this system the
United States has prospered to a de-
gree unparalleled by any other coun-
try in the world. And the prospect
ty has recognized no particular lines
of latitude or longitude. 1t has COW
cred South, North, West AMI East.
Mr.. Edmonds sees this truth and
talks plainly. He asks Chairman
Underwood and other Southern men
who are attacking the tariff along
the whole line IL they want to see the
country go back to the starvation
days of 1896. The assault on
the tariff, perpetrated and projected,
is much more extended in 1911 than
it was in the Wilson-Gorman act
passed in 1894. The Canadian re-
ciprocity and the so-called farmers
free list bills, already passed by the
House, and the attacks on the
wooden, cotton and other schedules
which are being framed are very
radical measures of legislation and
account for the halt in industry
which the country now sees. The &C
ton of the Democratic House and
the threats of the Democrats in the
Senate promises to make Republi-
can victory in 1912 along the whole
line certain and overwhelming.

that school teachers Of experience
would be selected on the committee

Unless the signs OF the times are
misleading the selection OF the books
this year Will be another farce.
There isn't a single public school
teacher on the committee that Is 10
select the books. Prof. Bruce Craven,
who taught in the schools at Kinston
for a number Of years, sounds note
OF warning and tells the people OF the
State what they may expect as a re-
suit of the appointment OF the COM
mittee that will select the books.
The following Is copy OF an ar
ticle written by Professor Craven and
published in Mondays Charlotte OBJ
server:
ITO the Editor OF The Observer:
There are about seven thou
sand men and women teachers
in North Carolina, who have
been using the uniform text
books in actual practice, and yet
there were none of them consid-
cred fit to sit with the politicians
to determine what books are to
be used in the schools for the
next five years.
This contract, involving sew
eral million dollars and decree
ing what books shall be used in
the common schools to the ex-
clusion of all others, is to be
settled by six State officials, one
university professor, four county
superintendent and one city SUI
perintendent, and the actual
teachers who have used the
books and will continue to use
them will have nothing to do
with it.
1.-THE law says that the SUBJ
commission Of six members is to
be selected from among the
teachers or county Superinten-
dents, and it is presumed that
teachers was intended to mean
the teachers of the books under
discussion, but for some reason
the two-headed appointive pow
er consisting of the Governor
and State Superintendent, could
find no fit teacher, and so went
beyond the law and selected
city superintendent in spite of
the State superintendent decla-
! ration to the city superinten-
dents in January that if you ex-
clude the city schools from this
adoption, you shall not be rep
resented on the sub-commission.'
For ten years the uniform
textbooks have been an obstacle
in the path of progress, and
. there seems no reason to hope
for any improvement this time.
Some day the public may awaken
to the Importance of this thing
and have it placed on common
: sense business basis. and it is to
be hoped that the awakening
! will come soon.

POLICE BELIEVE THAT
SOGA WAS MURDERED

1t is now the opinion of Chief of
Police Templeman and his officials,
that Andrew Sega, the nineteen-year
old youth, whose lifeless body was
found on the sidewalk on the South
side last Wednesday morning, was
murdered. The police at first thought
the lad committed suicide, but bits
of information picked up has cleared
a trif1e and now the theory of MUIR
der is strong one and the officers
are working to secure evidence.
The three shots heard in the vicin-
ity of where the body was found can
not be explained by the police, nor
the bullet hole on the left side of
the head. Information from the Ray
mond authorities developed the fact
that the youth had $65 or more in
the bank there, so there was no cause
for dependency, as the lad was Meth
er without funds or work.
J. Sinko, half brother of the dead
lad, was detained at the police sta
ton for several days, but was releas-
ed yesterday by Chief Templeman.
