The Waynesville Courier Demo
cratic) writes a long editorial COM
planning that certain Republican
newspapers are pointing with pride
to the fact that the national Republi-
can administration has been enforc-
ing the Sherman antitrust law
against all of the big trusts, and that
the Supreme Court of the United
States has been upholding the law
and declaring the trusts guilty. That
paper proceeds to contend that the
Republicans do not deserve much
credit for enforcing the law, because
the Republicans were forced to in
dict and prosecute. the trusts on &C
count of the honest and wholesome
agitation against trusts by the Demo-
cratic party.
That editor seems bent upon max
ing himself and his party ridiculous.
Was not this same Republican anti
trust law on the statute books when
Grover Cleveland was President, and
did not President Cleveland's Attor-
ney-General declare that he saw no
way to indict and convict the trusts
under the law? Besides, who deserves
the credit for the trusts not being in
dicted and convicted under the North
Carolina antitrust law? Have not
the Democrats, the Governor. the
Legislature and the Attorney-Gen-
eral?
According to the logic of the
Waynesville paper, it would be neces-
sary for the people to elect a Repuh-
lican Governor and Republican At
torney-General in order to get the
trusts indicted and convicted In this

Great Britain. under q recent act Of
/ Parliament. has Just taken over, -
q part OF the postal system Of tia,
country. all OF the telephone lines IN
the Kingdom.
The British Government was wise
enough never 10 let the telegraph get
into the hands OF q private monopoly.
but has used the telegraph az a part
of the postal system ever since Morse
invented that wonderful means OF
conveying intelligence by electricity.
There Ia equal, II not more. reason
why the telephone. which goes into
the homes OF all the people. should
also be a part OF the postal system.
1t means not oRly better service. but
it means much cheaper service, and
besides, 1t is necessary in order that
the Government may carry out its
function of transmitting intelligence
to the people.
IL the Government should not use
electricity through the telegraph and
the telephone for transmitting intelli-
gence to the people, then why should,
it bother to transmit intelligence to
the people by the slow methods of
the mails? The United States once
owned the telegraph business OF this
country, but in an evil hour turned it
over to private monopoly. It is high
time that Congress should perform
it's sworn duty to furnish the people
with an efficient and up to date post
office department by making the tele-
graph and the telephone, the two lat
est and quickest means Of the trans
mission Of intelligence, part Of the
postal system.
In England, you can send a tele-
graph message at any post-off1ce orI
branch post-office anywhere in the
Kingdom for the small rate of ten
cents. In this country, we are charg-
ed twenty-five cents for the shortest
distance, and where the rates are not
regulated even higher charge is
made.
1t is announced by the British Gov
eminent that telephone service will |
be furnished to all of the people of |
the Kindom, even to the most remote
farmer, at the rate of fifteen dollars a
year for an unlimited service. Our
Government can furnish similar SER
vice at similar price.
If our Government is not going to
use electricity to equip the post-office!
department, then the whole postal
system should be abolished by the
Government and leave the people to
the mercy Of private monopoly to
carry letters as well as sending mes
sages by electricity.

THIS STATE HAS BEEN "OUT OF
THE WOODS FOR FOUR YEARS.

The following editorial appeared
recently in the columns Of the Char
lotte Observer:
1t is expected that United
states District Judge J. H. Cot
terals decision against the Okla
homa grandfather clause as I'M
constitutional will have the eff
feet Of bringing the 'grandfath-
er clauses of several Southern
State constitutions before the
United States Supreme Court for
review. We wish them good
luck, but at all events it is hard
ly possible that North Carolina
would become concerned. This
State, in effect, got out of the
woods four years ago."
Thus it will be seen that the Char
lotte Observer now takes exactly the
position that the Republicans in
North Carolina took in the last cam
paign when Senator Simmons and
the other Democratic speakers charg-
ed that the North Carolina suffrage
was still open to attack
Senator Simmons charged ON. ev-

The Raleigh News and Observer
has been constantly denying that il
was the purpose of the last Legisla-
ture when providing for re-assess-
ment OF property to increase taxes.
Now, however, since the assessments
have been made, that paper has
thrown off the mask and boldly adj
mits that the whole purpose of the
Democratic Legislature was to in
crease taxes so as to raise money to
meet the large Democratic deficit.
The following is from the editorial
columns of the News and Observer.

ments along the lines of the law

The News and Observer has pub
lished with great pleasure the in
crease OF assessments Of property in
each county wherever the assess
ments have been increased as much
as a million or two million dollars.
The other day, however, when it pub
llshed the fact that the assessors had
increased the valuation of property
IN Mecklenburg to only ten per cent.

crease was not enough, and that the

Mr.. Loekhart writes him letter
and gives him permission TO publish
/, In which he recites conversations
that he had with Governor kitcnln
after his election and during the SEES

he was so greatly disappointed at
Governor Kitchin's seeming want OF
interest and opposition TO the Texas
antitrust law, or any other honest
antitrust law, that he proceeded to
remind him OF his promises to the |
people and the issues on which ne

Mr.. r. a. Doughton, Of allie
CLANCY County. who drafted
the Machinery Act which has
brought about such an increase
In the valuation OF property,
stated before the committee that
he knew that the increase IN
taxes would be very unpopular
with the people and further
stated that he knew that this
one act would cost the Demo
cratic party several thousand
votes in the State, but he said
there was nothing else for them
TO do, as the State was In debt
more than three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, and III
they did not manage to collect
this money from the taxpayers
they would be forced to sell
bonds TO pay the running ex-
pense of the State.
"Mr Doughton admitted that
Il would be very unpopular with
the people and that It would
cost the Democratic party sew
eraI thousand votes"
Mr.. Doughton has been Lieutenant
Governor and is prominent Demo-
cratic leader In championing his
proposition to increase the taxes OF
the people under his re-assessment
scheme, he frankly told the Legisla-
ture that they had to either increase
the peoples taxes or sell more bonds
in order to meet the growing Demo-
cratic deficit. He admitted that to
increase the taxes was an unpopular
thing to do, but he told the Legisla-
ture frankly that they must face the
music, even though it was sure to
mean "a loss of several thousand
votes" to them.
Why does Mr.. Doughton suppose
that there are only few thousand
democrats who will have the intelli-
nee, patriotism and manhood
Eebuke the Democratic party for
competence and extravaganza?

waited causes. Indeed, why should
anybody continue to stay in the Dem
ocratic party, except the Democratic
ring and those Democrats who are
too ignorant to know or too preiu-
diced to care whether or not thel
State has good government?
Mr. Doughton's admission will put
every honest and intelligent Demo-
crat, when they know the facts, to |
thinking. But how will these Demo- |
Gratis get these facts? They will new
