Robert f.. lee in Trouble.

Robert e. Lee, a colored man
who works at the Spender Carter liv-
cry barn, found this afternoon that
the possession of an historic name is
no safeguard from the law. Yester-
day he sold some whiskey to an In
dian woman named Maud, which led
to his arrest. He pleaded not guilty
but the evidence was overwhelmingly
against him at his trial this afternoon
and he was convicted. Judge Fit
Gerald sentenced him to pay a fine Of
$50 or spend IS days in Jail. He
chose the latter alternative.

A Trumpet Call for a United Democracy

SK~HE conference in New York, at which Governor Wilson presided and
George L. Record directed, forecasts at attempt to create a new
party upon the ruins of existing political divisions.
The Republican party will doubtless care for its own preservation.
But the Democratic party must not be wrecked.
It's traditions are sacred. It's principles are just. II has lived long

giance-to a close union with the Masses of the people.
1t is fresh from a prea victory. The road ahead, bright with
promise, leads on to great achievement in the peoples service and 70 the
parys greater glory.
The Democratic party has sumCed in the past. 1t was good enough
to retain service and loyalty during years of adversely.
II was good enough to induce Governor Wilson to emerge from re-
tirement and accept its service.

its members served him faithfully then and most Loyalty o election
day. They elected him Governor of this State.
THE PARTY OUGHT TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM NOW.
BUT IT IS NOT. =
He is plotting with others moi of that party His purpose is manifest
Is the membership of the party 81 dead to its interests, to its future
effectiveness. to its very preservation, as to view these evidences OF hos
tinty without alarm?
Are party obligations of no weight in this day? Is political iagrat-
iude to receive approval instead Of contempt?
A renegade is a pitiable creature. His master is selfshness. He
betrays anything in return for something.
Governor Wilson Is turning away from the party which has served
him we'll to win the support of a e party which he intends shall serve
him better.
He has patronage. He has ambition, but the latter will control the
former. Loyalty to his person will please him, but that now means dis
loyalty to the Democratic party.
That party has endured many trials. Its members will discern
the false note in the speech of this new guide. They may suffer
some bewilderment because of his aexbity of tongue, but they will not
passively submit, neither will the Democratic members of the Lcgisla-
tue assent. to a coursew which may mean exataton for the Governor. for
George L. Record, for his favored Republican advisers and for a new
party.
The need is at hand for party union. The danger is big and threat
ening. Let every man who Is true to his party now come to the front.
Let him prove to the Governor and to George L. Record that the party
which a good enough for Jefferson is too good for them to wreck
Let each man do his duty now and Democracy, which has endured
long and honorabL, will suffer no lessening of Its effectiveness Or glory.
