HAYWOOD COUNTY OFFICIALS
CONDEMNED.

The Haywood County grand jury
in making it's report to the court, in
regard to the conditions at the Coun-
ty Home, says:
I'm fact, this body can find no
language strong enough to ex-
press their condemnation of such
conditions, and We earnestly
recommend that some action be
taken at once to conform to the
rules of humanity and civiliza-
ton
Thus it would seem that the Dem
ocratic officials in Haywood County
are not governed by the rules of hui
manity aid need more civilizing.
Guess the voters of that county now
wonder why they didn't elect the Re
publican candidates.

SIMMONS GETTING "A DOSE OF
His own MEDICINE"

We publish in another column q
very timely editorial clipped from
the Western Carolina Enterprise,
The Enterprise quotes the telegram
which Senator Simmons sent 10 the
editor OF the Raleigh News and OBJ
server complaining at the very unfair
report which that paper published Of
his speech IN the Senate. explaining
his position for a protective tariff on
lumber The editor Of the Enter
prise calls attention sharply to the
fact that the editor Of the News and
Observer, in misquoting and misrep-
resenting Senator Simmons in It's
news columns, is doing nothing more
than that paper has always done
whenever it served its purpose 10
suppress or pervert the truth.
The editor OF that paper, however,
goes a step further, and calls the at
tention of Senator Simmons TO the
fact that he has never complained of
such dishonest news reports in the
News and Observer whenever such
reports were disappearing the Re-
publican party or when such publica-
tons could enure to the benefit Of
Senator Simmons himself. The editor
of the Enterprise then closes his ed
itorial by telling Mr.. Simmons that
he should not now object to taking a
dose Of his own medicine, inasmuch
as he has not in the past seen fit to
protest against such methods when
directed against others.
All fair and just people, regardless
Of party, will approve the editorial
utterances of the Western Carolina
Enterprise in this respect

GOV. KITCHIN FAILS TO EXPLAIN

In a lengthy communication to the
News and Observer last Saturday
Governor Kitchin attempted to ex-
plain why his attitude on the trust
question and pointed to his record
which no one has yet been able to
locate. Mr. Kitchin said he recon-
mended amendments to the anti
trust law, but the Legislatures did
not adopt them, but he failed to
explain why he did not use his efforts
to get the Texas antitrust law pass
ed. If the miserable subterfuge that
was placed upon the statute books
has a single tooth in it, why has he
not brought actions under it against
the trusts in this State. The eau
casian showed conclusively, during
the last campaign that Kitchin had
violated his pledge and had done alb
solutely nothing to curb the trusts.
The Democratic organs and speakers
defended him then, but many of
them have turned on the Govern or
no and are showing up his "record"
| as exposed by The Caucasian during
the last campaign.

Mount Airy. \. c., July 24.-Ce-

the child for not working. Tuesday
morning the father went away to help
thresh again and told the boys again
to hoe out the tobacco. Sometime af-

CONGRESSMAN SMALL AND HIS
ANTITRUST BILL

CONGRESSMAN Small has offered an
antitrust bill as an amendment TO
the Sherman antitrust Law, and MS
bill Il receiving much praise from
the Democratic machine press Of this
State.
The Republican national antitrust
Law has been giving fine account
of itself, there being in power a pro-
gresslye party that promises TO do
things and then has the courage and
craftsmanship to carry out these
promises when made. What North
Carolina sorely needs is a State anti
trust law that will be as efficient as
the National Republican antitrust
law.
Congressman Small would be doing
something more TO the purpose IL he
would draw an antitrust law similar
to the Texas antitrust law, and use
his influence and efforts to get elect
ed North Carolina Legislature
which would have the courage TO pass
such a law.
Congressman Small helped Mr..
Simmons and Mr.. Daniels and all OF
the rest OF the Democratic machine
leaders in the last campaign to blind
and befuddle the real issues behind
the dirty campaign of mud-slinging
appeals to prejudice and personal
abuse so as to enable the trusts tC
secure the election of a Democratic
Legislature that would be owned
body and soul by the trusts. AND
they will do the same thing in the
next campaign in this State, and they
will do it as long as the people viii
stand such hypocrisy and false leader
ship. When they can no longer foo
the people by such campaigns, the1
the Democratic machine will be repu
dated by the people at the polls.

THE WHOLE STORY IN A NUT
SHE'LL.

The Waynesville Western Carolina
Enterprise states the whole story in
the following editorial sentence:
eff the Simmons-Kitchin-Dan
iels row is over principles and
not pie, it would have happened
last year"
1t was impossible during the last
campaign to get Senator Simmons or
Governor Kitchin or any of their
speakers or newspapers to defend
their record or to discuss a single
principle at issue in the State or Ma
tional campaign. Indeed, they manu-
featured the most disgraceful cam
paign of mud-slinging, appeals to
prejudice and personal abuse that has
ever disgraced the State, in order to
attract attention away from their rec
ord of hypocrisy and broken prom
Uses.
Now, when there is falling out
between them as to who shall have
the offices, then for the first time we
hear each one accusing the other OF
having broken some promise or
pledge or having betrayed the people
The old adage, which begins with
when thieves fall out" etc., is ire
sistibly brought to mind.

The directors of the North Carolina
Railroad Company held a meeting in
Greensboro a few days ago and the
principal business considered was the
question of railroad passes-not
passes for others, but passes for
themselves. The officers and direc-
tors of the road want passes over the
railroads good for Interstate travel,
but the Interstate Commerce Com
mission say they cannot use them.
Guess these directors will wonder
what's the use in being a Democrat if
they can't get pie and passes.

We disinterested Republicans have
good opportunity to observe the
truth of Senator Simmons protest.
We have but to read the report of the
tilt between the Senators in The Con-
gressional Record and compare it
with that which appeared in the or
gan Of the peanut element of Tar
Heel Democracy. Any man can see
that the so-called news which the
Raleigh paper hands out to its SUBJ
scribers is of the selected variety
selected with the purpose of suppress
ing important facts and creating a
false impression in the minds of those
who depend on it for facts.
However, Senator Simmons has
profted by the dirty filings of this
same pen in times past, and we are
glad the jackass which he has fed to
annoy others has disturbed his slum-
bers.
On this particular occasion the Ra-
leigh paper gave a better report when
called down, but on the hundreds of
similar occasions it has never sought
to make amends.

NOW GETTING A DOSE OF HIS
OWN MEDICINE.

Senator Simmons complains That the
Raleigh News and Observer Is Very
Unfair in Its News Reports-But
He Has Been the Beneficiary OF
Such Dishonest Newspaper Conduct
in the Past.
Western Carolina Enterprise
Some time ago Mr.. Josephus Dan
iels. editor OF the Raleigh News and
Observer, wrote an article to one of
the large periodicals on What Is
News" Mr.. Daniels took the posi-
ton that the editorial policy of a pa
per should be supported as far as pos
sible by the news columns. Every re-
porter should select from the field of
facts those things which would bear
out his chiefs contention. How we'll
the News and Observer carries out
this idea in its fight against Senator
Simmons may be gathered from the
following telegram sent by the Sem
ator to Editor Daniels:
THE report of your Washington
correspondent in to-day's paper Of
the colloquy between Senator Sim
mons and myself is outrageously un-
fair in that it gives practically every
thing Mr.. Williams said and only a
few lines of what I said in answer,
in most instances emitting altogether
my replies, whereas, as a matter of
fact, my replies to Mr.. William occu-
piel, think, fully twice as much time
and space as his questions and COM
ments.
/ "The colloquy between my col
league and myself was pleasant and
the result of the debate entirely sat
/ isfactory to me and my friends. All
ask is that the people shall judge
! from the speech and not from this
! garbled and prejudicial report.
Impression inferable from your
report as to my amendment is mis-
leading. Could have had yea and nay
vote by the asking, but expressly
stated to Senate would not ask it.

A REFERENCE THAT is NOW "OF-
FENSIVE" TO THE GREENSBORO
DAILY NEWS.

We clip the following from the ed
itorial columns of the Greensboro
Daily News of July goth:
''The Raleigh Times says:
The Greensboro News version
of it sounds like it's other prize
story about the Fifth District
combine Another paper that
purposely and arbitrarily re-
fuses to recognize the change of
ownership of this paper and the
honesty of it's claim to indepen-
dence. Such attempts to create
prejudice would, if made in ig-
norance, be eXcusable, as far as
ignorance can be condoned; but
as they are made deliberately
they are both discourteous and
offensive"
When the Greensboro News was
exposing the schemes behind the
Fifth District combine" it was then
performing it's functions as a news
paper by turning on the light and
telling the people the truth about a
political scheme which afterwards
proved in the open to be just as the
News charged it was being conducted
then in secret. We are astonished
now offended that any one should re-
fer to the creditable record which
that newspaper then made. 1t now
repudiates the service which it rem
dered the people on that occasion,
and in doing so declares that it does
not now stand for what it stood fol
then, because, as it says, it has been
bought out and has changed hands
Thus we see that paper making q
public confession of what everybody
already knew, and that is that the
paper is no longer Republican pa
per, or even a real newspaper, but
that it has become an organ. Indeed
We see that paper throwing off the
mask behind which, for some time
it posed under as an Independent pa
per, and boldly coming out as the or
gan of Senator Simmons and his fac
ton of the split and warning Demo
cratic machine.
In short, the situation that the PEG
pie now see is this: The Democrat,
machine, of which the News and OBJ
server has in the past been the rec
ognized organ, is now split wide oper
on account of the fight between lead
ing members of that machine for The
United States Senate, and we behold
