GOVERNOR kITCHIN AND HIS At
TORNEY-GESERAL MAKING
THEMSELVES RIDICULOUS.

Governor Kitchin and his Attor-
ney-General have simply succeeded
In making themselves very ridiculous

claiming that they are doing II &c

trayed by the national adminIstra-
ton in the matter Of the dissolution
of theeTobacco Trust.
Governor Kitchin and his Attor-
ney-General, though having pledged
the people OF the State they would
prosecute the American Tobacco
Trust and dissolve 1t, have sat still
and done nothing. When the Govern
ment brought a suit to dissolve the
American Tobacco Company. the
Governor of North Carolina did not
raise his hand to help. The Govern
ment has now won it's suit and is
following up the decision of the Su-
preme Court to see that the trust is
dissolved in good faith.
At this juncture Governor Xitchin
and his Attorney-General, who have
broken all Of their pledges to the
people on the trust question, rush In
to the limelight and the Attorney
General goes to New York and gives
out to the public that they are there
to see to it that the Government dis.
solves this trust in good faith. Thei,
conduct is not only ridiculous, but Il
Is absurd enough to make a horse

which they all seem to try to make

the Raleigh speech at this time is

FOR MONUMENT TO THE NORTH
CAROLIsA SOLDIERS AT GET
TYSBURG.

Col. A. Fl. Boyden. OF Salisbury.
appeared before the State Convention
of the Daughters OF the Confederacy
At their recent session in Winston-Sa-
lem and appealed to them to inaugu-
rate and take charge Of q movement
TO build a monument at Gettysburg TO
commemorate the valor OF the North
Carolina soldiers In that battle. which
Ii the greatest battle IN the history
of the world.
Colonel Boyden pointed out In his
speech that no soldiers In that great
battle performed more deeds Of hero
ism than did the soldiers Of North
Carolina. He further stated that he
had lost all hope of ever getting the
North Carolina Legislature to make
an appropriation to build a suitable
monument on that battlefield, and
that therefore he appealed to the
Daughters Of the Confederacy to per-
form this duty which had been SO
long neglected.
Those who read the articles writ
ten by Marion Butler giving an ac-
count of his first visit to this battle
field on the End day Of last July, the
forty-eighth anniversary of the bat
tie, will remember that he made the
same points made by Colonel Boyden
in his speech. Mr.. Butler pointed
out how many monuments there were
on the field marking the valor Of 9TH
er soldiers, and how noticeable it was
that the unparalleled heroism and
courage of the soldiers of North Car
DINA was not marked by a single
stone of any size or kind.
1t is to be hoped that the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy will lose no
time in responding to the timely and
patriotic appeal made by Col. Boy
den.

1t will be remembered that the At
torney-General OF North Carolina
hied away to New York some days
ago to see that the officials of the
United States Government had the
American Tobacco Company to dis
solve according to his notion. It
seems that the Attorney-General of
Virginia and South Carolina met him
in New York for the purpose Of see
ing the matter de right. Cogniz-
ant of the fact that neither of these
Attorney-Generals had been strong on
trust-busting heretofore, the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch was moved to
ask the following questions:
How did the Attorneys-Gen-
eral of Carolina get into the
American tobacco case? What
authority have they from their
several States to become parties
tothis affair? Who sent them
to New York to appear before
the United States Circuit Court
in the business with which that
tribunal has been entrusted by
the Supreme Court at Washing
ton? What authority have they
for their most unusual and sur
prising course? Who is paying
the expenses of their venture

ance, If any, have they had in

SOME ELECTIONS THIS MONTH.

Five States in the Union will elect
Governors this month. These are
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Mary
land, Kentucky, and Mississippi. Of
course, Rhode Island will go Repub-
lican and Kentucky and Maryland
may elect Republican Governors, but
the campaign in those States is being
waged on local issues, while in Mas
sachusetts the paramount issue is
protection. In the last election in
that State the Democrats elected
their Governor, but the backbone"
movement seems to be very popular
in that State just at this time and
the Republicans claim they will car
ry the State on November 7th by a
safe majority. The Democrats are
urging an immediate revision Of the
tariff without waiting for the report
Of the tariff board, while the Repub-
licans are standing fer protection.
Some Of the Democrats in that State
who have watched the effect. of the
action of the last Democratic Con-
gress has had On business have an
nounced their intention of support
ing the Republicans in their fight for
protection.
A former Democratic candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, has be-
come alarmed at the Democratic pro-
gram and has announced that he will
support the Republican nominee. The
Boston Herald Of a recent date says:
Henry M. Whitney, of Mas
sachusetts, Democratic candidate
for Governor in 1907, last even
ing issued the following state
ment:
I have been asked to ex-
press my views upon the issues

which transeends in Importance

MIR. MOREHEAD MISQUOTED.

The Greensboro Daily News, in a
Washington special, under date OF
October oath, says:
THE former Congressman
says the Senatorial contest in
North Carolina will be one Of the
hardest fought contests in the
history of the State. He said he
expected either Simmons or
Kitchin to win"
We have not had an opportunity to
communicate with Mr.. Morehead
since the publication of the above,
but we feel warranted in saying that
the News misquotes and misrepre-
sents Mr.. Morehead. Mr.. Morehead
would certainly not say that he
thought either Mr.. Simmons or Mr..
Kitchin would be the next Senator
from North Carolina. Mr.. Morehead
expects to see North Carolina go Re-
publican at the next election, and he
is planning a most vigorous campaign
to deliver the electoral vote of the
State to President Taft and to elect a
Republican Legislature, etc.
Mr.. Morehead may have stated his
opinion as to which one Of the Demo-
cratic candidates would be strongest
in the Democratic primaries, but the
Greensboro Daily News, though pos
ing as an Independent Republican pa
per, Is such a strong partisan and
supporter of Senator Simmons that
it has been led into misquoting Mr..
Morehead so as to create the impress
sion that he thinks that a Democratic
Senator will be elected.
