WHAT Is "I,ORBiERIsM."

We clip the following from a re-
port of the testimony OF Mr. Kohlsaat
given before the Senate Lorimer In
vestigatlng committee:
What | have been fighting
for twenty years Is Lorimerism,'
he declared.
"I.orimerism' he defined as
an 'afiliation and cooperation
and cohesion OF Democrats and
Republicans for party pelf-for
private pelf.
There has been more or less evil
dence of a cooperation and cohe-
sion" between the Democratic boss OF
North Carolina and the boss OF the
old repudiated Republican referee
machine Of this State. That there
has been party" or private pelf' as
between these parties we do not now
charge, because We have not the
proof, but that there has been "co-
operation and cohesion" between
them Is known.
We have "Lorimerism" here, but
it could be given local name.
Now the question is, What name
should such "co-operation and cohe-
sion" as We have had between these
Democratic and Republican bosses in
the State be denominated?

A SYSTEM OF STATE LIFE INSUR-
ANCE.

The Associated Press, under date
of June 10Th, from Rome, announces
decided to establish a system of Gov
eminent life insurance. The reason
given for this new function Of Gov
eminent is that Government system
of life insurance can furnish protec-
ton to widows and orphans much
cheaper than private companies are
doing it, and that the protection of
every person taking out policy
through the Government Life Insur-
ance Bureau will be as safe as Gov
eminent bond.
1t is pointed out that with such
cheap and absolutely safe life insur-
ance that thousands and tens of thou
sands of people who need such pro-
lection for their families, but who
have never felt able to take out the
high-priced policies of private life in
surance companies, will take out in
surance for their families under this
system.
1t is announced further that the
Government intends to operate the
system at charge of little above
cost, and that the profits thus derived
will be used by the Government in
paying old age pensions to those who
have become helpless and who were
not provident in their younger days
to take out insurance policies.
1t is further announced that this
profit which the Government will
make for old age pensions can grad
ually be reduced, because with the es-
Enlistment of such a system of life
insurance there will hardly be a man
hereafter in the kingdom who will
not take out an insurance policy be-
fore he becomes old and helpless.
This action on the part of the Ital-
ian Government is worthy of serious
consideration by the people of our
country in every State. Suppose North
Carolina should follow the example
or Italy. Is it not certain that a
State system of life insurance could
be conducted under which no person
would ever lose dollar invested in a
policy and by which those taking out
policies would not have to pay more
than one-half, or little more than
one-haf, of what they now pay in
premiums to private companies?
A very small percentage of the peo-
pie OF our State have taken out life
insurance policies, on account of the
high rate for premiums and the dan
ger that the companies may become
1nsolVent before the policies are paid.
Every man in the State who has |
family or who has any one DEPENDENT
upon him should have a life insur-l
ance policy, and with a system that
was perfectly safe and with a low
rate of premium that would simply
cover the cost of the business GER
tainly ten times as many men would
take out life insurance policies as do
SO now.
There is another side to this insur-
ance question, which should appeal
strongly to every one in favor of a

A HOUSE-CLEANING THAT MUST
BE FINISHEn

A HOUSE-CLEANING THAT MUST
BE FINISHED.
The Washington correspondent of
. the Raleigh News and Observer, un-
, der date of June 2Sth, sends to that
paper a Washington letter which pur-
ports to contain an interview from "a
! North Carolina Republican" We
copy the following from the purport-
ed interview published in that Demo-
cratic paper:
Settle, Morehead and the rest
have been here this week con-
ferring with Butler and perfect
ing their plans to capture the
State Convention next year that
chooses the delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention.
The Butterflies won out last year,
but if / am not mistaken, they
are going to have a mighty fall
next year."
/
that paper would give the name of
the Republican whom it claims to
have interviewed, which, of course,
it will not. This is one of the News
and Observers usual fake interviews.
But whether the interview is gen.
uine or the usual fake, it is interest
ing to note that that paper never
interviews a Republican who is sup
porter Of Mr.. Morehead and the Re-
publican State organization, which
represents over 95 per cent of the
party in this State. When that paper
interviews a Republican, it is one of
the small remnant of the old rotten
referee machine, and when it uses a
fake Republican for a fake interview,
it is along the same line.
All of this goes to show that the
Democratic machine in North Caro-
lima is so afraid of the honest and
aggressive leadership of a man like
Mr. Morehead that it cannot even be
fair toward him; indeed, the organs
of the Democratic machine will not
even publish an interview from Mr..
Morehead or any Republican who
wants to make his party triumph. In
short, the Raleigh News and Obser-
yer and the other Democratic organs
and the whole Democratic machine
are constantly evincing their remark
able friendliness for the remnants of
the old Republican referee patronage
machine, not onlysbecause they have
no fear Of that kind of Republican
leadership. but because there seems
to have been perfect understanding
and working arrangement between
that class of Republicans and the
Democratic ring.
This is nothing new. Ever since
the war the Republican State Chair
man or County Chairman or smaller,
satellite of the old Republican referee
crowd who have desired to buy it's
peace from the Democratic machine
Or to buy so-called respectability from
the Democratic ring, have been able |
to make such deal by prostituting
their position and betraying their
party. No Democratic machine lead
er or organ has ever attacked Repub-
licans Of that class, no matter how
small or poor might be their standing
as citizens of the State. On the other
hand, let any bold, honest, aggressive
man, with whom the Democratic ma
chine could not deal under cover,
speak out for the upbuilding of the
Republican party, and at once all the
walls of wrath, abuse and misrepre-
sentation that that party machine
could muster have been, and will con-
tinue to be, hurled at his head.
