THE HORST

The thing they used for motive power
l saw one at a show
Uncared for, pulled for many an hour
In days of long ago.
It's carbureter was concealed,
It's radiator, too.
Where cooling drafts were ne'er con
gealed,
Was hidden far from view.
You could not open up it's side
When anything went wrong;
No wrenches had to be applied
With muscles firm and strong,
You did not have to crank it when
1t started on it's way.
Instead of gasoline, the men
Would fill it full of hay.
A thing deserving kindly care
1t was beyond doubt.
Their treatment of it did not bear
Such an opinion out.
And now, since the inventive mind
Has met its fullest test,
The poor old horse at last may find
His honest well earned rest

Mr.. Taft'E administration has car
ried out It's platform pledge TO en-
force the sherman antitrust Law and
has just secured a verdict OF guilty In
an action brought under that law
against the Standard Oil Trust and
other great trusts. On the other
hand, Governor Kitchin has neither
attempted TO carry out his own per
sonal pledge to the people or his par
tvs pledge.
Considering the record Of the two
parties and the two men. would II
not be more pertinent for the News

speaking of the election of United
States Senators by bribery, says;
''Yet the events of Springfield,
Illinois, were but repeating re-
cent history made at many other
State capitals-made much more
openly and shamelessly at some.'
The Observer then mentioned one
or two States at a distance, but said
nothing specifically about the meth
DDS used in the election Of a Senator
from this State. It is possible that
the Observer thought it best to point
out other States az an example and
save hurting any ones feelings at

SIMPSONS OOUNTY'S FINE
RECORD.

In another column we publish a
most interesting communication from
a subscriber in Sampson County. He
points to the fact that the Republican
County Commissioners of that county
have reduced the tax rate for county
purposes from % 2-3 cents on the
hundred dollars worth Of property to
20 cents. He calls sharp attention
to the fact that while the Democratic
party, on account of their incompe-
tent and extravagant administration,
has been forced to increase the taxes
Of the people for State purposes, that
the Republican administration Of
sampson County has conducted its
affairs so wisely and economically
that there the county tax rate can be
reduced.
Our correspondent further calls at
tention to the fact that when the Re-
publican party took control of that
| county that it was heavily in debt,
and that the Republican County Com
missioners have not only paid OF this
Democratic debt, but that they have
built new courthouse, built many
fine new bridges, good roads, and
made other substantial improvements
calling for large outlay of money
that will not have to be annually re-
peated.
Our correspondent further calls at
| tention to the fact that inasmuch as
the people Of that county have been
denied the right OF local self-govern-

ONE SIMMONS ORGAN VERY AC
TIVE.

Whenever any newspaper In the
State dares to say anything about
Senator Simmons that shows him uI
in any light less than the greatest
and best man that ever represented
the State in the Senate, the Greens
boro Daily News, which poses as "aI
Independent Republican paper" al
once rushes to the defense of that
Democratic Senator. That paper goes
even further and looks for opportun.
tiles, and even manufactures oppor.
tunities to boost Simmons for re-elec.
ton.
The Washington correspondent o.
the Greensboro Daily News, in 8
Washington special to that paper, I'M
der date of June 18th, says:
I was talking with a promi-
nent and influential Democratic
Senator last night said Cameron
Morrison, of Charlotte, to-day.
This Senator spoke of the Sena-
torial race in North Carolina and
said that it would be a great mis-
fortune to the State if Senator
Simmons should be defeated.
''The Senator in question said
that he had known Senator Sim
mons for the past twelve years,
and that the senior Senator was
one of the most influential Sem
ators that has held seat in the
United States Senate in a long
time. He spoke of the work Mr..
Simmons has done for the State
and pointed to the fact that SEN
ator Simmons would have his
pick of some of the most import
ant committees of the Senate If
the Democrats control that body
in 1913"

In his speech delivered = few days
ago at Providence, r. l.. In discussing
reciprocity and the tariff. President
Taft. among other things. said:
I'VE must recognize that the
time OF the Chinese wall Ia gone,
and the time Ii gone when an
industry must ask for more pro-
lection than IL absolutely needs
This Ia a wise and statesman-like
utterance. Ii shows that the Presi-
dent understands the whole situation
between the two extremes OF the III
ira high protectionists and the free
trader, and that he sees what is best
for the uplift of American labor and
the development and advancement
OF American industries that will be
in harmony with the progress and
prosperity of the whole country.
For expressions like this President
Taft has been attacked by the ultra
high protectionists as being an enc
my to protection, and some Of them
have gone so far as to denounce him
as a free trader. Nothing is further
from the truth. President Taft shows
by taking this broad and wise posi-
ton that he stands first for the well
fare of the whole country; that he
realizes that protection, properly ad-
ministered, is a great American prin-
ciple, necessary to preserve and pro-
mote the prosperity of America; and
time, shows himself as the wisest and
best friend of protection.
Those politicians and special inter
ests who have tried to abuse the
principle of protection for their own
selfish purposes by piling up tariff
rates so high as to be prohibitive
have proven that they are not only
unpatriotic but that they are the
worse enemies fthe great American
principle of protection. The great
majority of the voters of the country
will endorse and stand by the Presi-
dent in this broad patriotic position.
If the Republicans in Congress will
only stand by the President in enact
ing laws in harmony with such views,
then the Democratic free trader
the Democrat who claims to be for a
tariff for revenue only, and the Dem
ocrat who is for protection for his in
dustries and against protection fol-
the other fellows Enthusiastically
not succeed in fooling the people at
the next election. If the Republicans
in Congress will prepare and stand
for tariff law against the impracti,
cal theories of the Democratic party
and in harmony with the Presidents
views, then the Republican party al
the next election will be in no danger
of being defeated by the Democratic
party, no matter under what false OF
hybrid Democratic reform banner
they may pose before the country.
