SHOULD START REFORM At
HOME.

Inc washington correspondent of
the News and Observer saws that
when the Democrats take charge of
congress next fall that they will
weed out useless Offices
AS all reforms should begin at
nome, why don't the Democrats in
the State Legislature start the re-
form by wedding out the useless Of
noes around Raleigh and then spread
tne@reform out over the State?
The Democrats in Congress NAV
weed out some Offices, but before thew

abollshed-unless they do different
from the Democratic politicians in

In this connection. IL would be we'll
to remember that the Republican
platform declares In favor OF free
textbooks for public schools, and In
addition TO the fact that when the
State pretends 10 offer a system OF
free schools. IL should. as a part OF
such a system, furnish free text
books. IL should also be remembered
that one OF the strongest reasons for
the necessity of such q Law is that
the Democratic Legislatures have
been changing the textbooks of the
schools 30 often that IL is a great tax
upon the parents who have children
attending the public schools.
So the argument for dress reform
applies even stronger to public school
textbooks.

PLAYING POLITICS ON THE TEXT
BOOK PROPOSITION,

The Union Republican, comment
ing upon the peanut politics played
by the Democrats in the LEGISLATURE
In declaring that they were against
law for free textbooks for the
whole State, but were willing to give
any Republican county such a law If
1t wanted it. declared that it was in
FAVOR OF such a law for Forsyth
County.
In this connection, we desire to
call attention to the suggestion made
by prominent Republican as quot
ed in our Washington letter of this
week. That Republican who himself
lives in a Republican county, made a
point that he would be in favor of q
law providing for free textbooks for
MS county alone, provided the Leeis-
iature would give the Republicans of
MS county the right to elect their
county Superintendent and their
county Board of Education. He
makes the point that if this free text
DOCK proposition is to be applied by a
democratic Legislature to Republi-
can counties only, that then il means
that the Democratic party does not
want the free textbook proposit;o,
10 De success. and this he
ing SO, that the Democratic -of-
hcials appointed by the State Demo-
cratic machine to manage the schools
IN Republican counties would nm
questionably try to make the free
textbook proposition in each Renuh-
lican county a failure.
Inc point is well taken and the
reasons given by this Republican ara
not only pertinent. but they are nm
answerable. We suggest to Mr.. Mar
shall that he introduce a bill for fraa
TEXTBOOKS for his county of Surry
and provide in the same bill thai II.
cal self-goyernment shall be astah
hsned in that county SO that tho
people may elect their county officials
10 manage the schools and to give
lnem a chance to make a success Of
the Tree textbook proposition.

One Democratic Paper That Want
to See Justice Done.

Winston-Salem Journal
We hold no special brief for Dis
trict Attorney Holton, but We do de-
sire to see justice done. Mr.. Holton
has been nominated for another term
by President Taft, but Washing
ton special says that confirmation of
the appointment will be held up by
the North Carolina Senators for a
time at least 1t is charged, id
seems, that Mr.. Holton, along with
Marion Butler, made the most vim
dictive speeches in the campaign,
and that he did not spare the memo
ries of honored citizens who have
long since died. We did not hear
Mr.. Holton speak during the cam
paign, but doubtless some of the
speeches were rather bitter. How
ever, We can not believe that the
speeches were any more bitter and
vindictive than some of the speeches
delivered by prominent Democratic
Senators.

KOoMPETRNCY AND A 'BUsTBD'
TREASURY.

The Hickory Times-Aereury, in
commenting upon the admission now
made by Governor KItchin and the
Democratic machine that the State
Treasury is busted and can't pay its
debts" calls timely and pertinent at
tention TO the fact that during the
last campaign the Democratic party
claimed that they had handled the
administration OF affairs In the State
with remarkable wisdom and econ
ony.
In this connection, attention might
also be called to the fact that the
Governor, in a recent message to the
Legislature. admitted that the treas
ury was not only busted and suf-
fering from deficit OF about three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
but also that the States vested inter-
ests were In bad shape and had been
badly managed.
Attention might also properly be
called, in this connection, to the fact
that the Democratic Legislature is
now trying to put through a million
dollar bond deal under the pretext
that it is necessary to have a new
public building at Raleigh. No doubt
the real reason for the cry for new
building is to give an excuse for
further issue OF bonds to cover the
Democratic deficit.
II the Democratic deal with GER
tain trusts who have not been prose-
suted under the Democratic toothless
antitrust law is sufficient to cause
them to bid for further State bonds
for price higher than they would
otherwise bring, We submit that it
would be good time to sell more
State bonds, since the treasury is
busted" and call upon these trusts
to bid upon them considerably above
the market value.

SOME MORE INCONSISTENCY.

A special from Washington to YES
terday's News and Observer contain
ed copy of letter that Democra
from Western North Carolina hae
written Senator Simmons on the Can
adam reciprocity bill and other meas
ures. Portions Of the letter mus,
nave startled some of the free trade
Democrats in this State. But before
commenting further, let us quote
three paragraphs from the letter:
Free raw material may be
air right for Massachusetts, and
other great manufacturing GEN.
ters' out 1T means death to the
great agricultural interests of

fou may cry back to the

turai schools in the country; you
may teach farming in every free
school in the land; but when
FARMING does not pay, the farmer
boy wsll drift to the machine
shops, and the country girl will
go to the cotton mill.
The past few years have Civ
en- the farming people a taste of
a little prosperity; anu woe to
the politician that attempts to
un1ustly deprive them of its con-
tinuance.''
II Is not our intention to contra
oict one word of the aboye-but for
the life OF us. We cant see how anv
man holding such views can vote tho

price OF everything raised on the
