NOT A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.

The Washington Herald publishes
an interesting interview with Repre-
sentative George r. Malby Of New
York. Mr.. Malby admits that Wall
Street and the moneyed interests did
all they could against the Republican
ticket in order to try to discredit
President Roosevelt. He says that
in spite of all of that, the cleo
ton of the Democratic Governor in
New York does not mean that that
State is Democratic. He says that
the Republican State ticket would
have been elected if the stay-at-home
Republican voters had come out and
voted. The Democratic ticket was
elected by only about fifty thousand
majority, while the record shows that
nearly two hundred thousand Repub-
licans did not vote.
An analysis of the vote in nearly
every State in the Union where a Re-
publican majority was turned into an
APPARENT Democratic majority shows
that the Democratic ticket nowhere
got majority of the votes, but that
the so-called victory was due to stay
at-home Republicans.

THE REDUCTION AND REGULA-
TION OF PULLMAN RATES.

A little more than a year ago the
State Railway Commission of Kansas
succeeded in putting into effect an or
der making a general reduction on
all Pullman palace car rates within
the State, the greatest reduction be-
ing made in their charge for upper
berths. Generally. the charge for
an upper berth was fixed at at
least twenty-five per cent lower than
the charge for lower berth, so that
where a rate for certain distance
was two dollars for a lower berth, a
rate of one dollar and fifty cents was
fixed for upper berth for the same
distance. Every State in the Union
has the power to take similar action.
and it is indeed strange how few
States have exercised this power.
The last amendment to the Federal
Interstate Commerce law gave to the
Interstate Commerce Commission full
power over Pullman companies as
common carriers. That body has
just issued an order reducing all
Pullman rates from twenty to thirty
per cent. In the meantime, it is per-
tinent to inquire why our North Car
DINA Corporation Commission has
not taken similar action?
The Federal Interstate Commerce
Commission can not regulate rates
within North Carolina; it can only

A MOST INTERESTING PIECE OF

waterway between Norfolk and VIII

gives some interesting facts about a
sunken forest which was encounter
ed. We clip the following:
The bill providing for this work
was passed In Congress in the spring
of 1907. the appropriation being
$4,000. The canal to be dug was TO
be ten feet in depth at law water,
which assures twelve feet practically

The facts given above about the

was encountered in the digging of
this waterway is most interesting in
formation. Our biologists ought to

determine at what time in our past
history this great forest was grow

throw some light upon how the for

later became covered with eight or

This is one of the most interesting
geological and historical facts in our
State that has come to light in a long
time.

TWO-FACED OR MANY-FACED.

The Raleigh News and Observer,
edited by Josephus Daniels, was, per-
haps, the most aggressive advocate
OF the prohibition movement two
years ago. So strenuous did it be-
come that its reports of anti-prohi-
bition meetings were Of so vile a
character as to be unfit to bring into
homes where young people were.
With characteristic venom it abused
and "cussed" out generally everyone
who honestly opposed 1t.
Lately, however, the erst-while
prohibition Origin has been taking
a peculiar stand. While not openly
renouncing prohibition, it glories In
very decided anti-prohibition vic
tory in Maine. It takes to task, al
belt in very half-hearted manner
Mr.. Bryan's bolt of the Democratic
party in Nebraska because the Dem
ocratic candidate is pronounced an
ti-prohibitionist.
Mr.. Daniels stands for prohibition
in North Carolina; he is very "wet''
man In Maine and Nebraska. He Is
anything, at any time, and any old
place. And yet, he is the editor, who
in the columns of his paper, constant
ly calls others "two-faced and hypo-
critical"
The truth is. the editor of the

different attitudes himself that it If

A GREAT YEAR HAS PASSED AND
A GREAT YEAR Is AHEAD.

The year 1910 has been the great
est year in the history OF our lives
and In the history OF our country
and In the history of the world. We
are, indeed, living In most progress
sive and wondrous age. The progress
and uplift OF the human race for the
last hundred years Is greater than IN
any thousand years In the former
history of the race. The progress OF
the people of the United States dur
ing the last quarter of century has,
indeed, been greater than in the
whole hundred years before. The
material development Of our people
has been more remarkable each year.
Almost every day the secret forces
of the earth and the air hear the
voice Of militant, progressive man
and obey it.
Our progress. however, has not
been confined to wonderful inven-
tons and great material growth and
prosperity, for there has been an
equal rise In the tide of civic, COM
mercial and social righteousness gov
erning the forces of State, Nation
and individual.
Robert Louis Stevenson has ex-
pressed a happy thought, which we
might pause for a moment to re-
member:
THE world is so full Of
number of things, | am sure we
should all be as happy as kings"
During the past year, one of the
great men of our country and age,
Edward Everett Hale has passed
over the great beyond. But he leaves
with us a great message, not only in
words, but a message that he lived
during his long and fruitful life to
the fullest:
''Lok up, not down; look out,
not in; look forward, not back
ward-and lend a hand"
Let each one of us make this our
motto for the year 1911, and not
only make this year the greatest year
in our country, but the greatest and
best in our own lives as we'll.

THE PUBLIC THE GREATEST SUI.
FERER FROM EVERY STRIKE
THE REMEDY

The number of strikes and threat
ened strikes in this country seem to
be on the increase instead of on the
decrease. 1t is noticeable that in the
case Of nearly every strike Or
ganized labor is accorded some meas
ure of relief when the strike is set
tied; but we submit that it is not
right and it is not good governmental
policy to force labor to resort to a
strike, even when they have q just
grievance.
When a strike occurs the struggle
between labor and capital is expen-
sive to both, but the public is a great
and an inevitable sufferer, no matter
which side wins or which side is right
or wrong.

Judging from the report of the
State Treasurer, the taxpayers will
hardly get any relief from the pres
ent high tax rate in this State. In
fact, the State Treasurer says that
the present tax rate will have to be
retained and intimates that the State
may even then be faced with deficits.
OF course. SO far as the State
Treasurer is concerned, he can only
collect money that is due from the
various sources and when the de-
mands on the treasury are greater
than the receipts there is naturally a
deficit. This is situation that the
Solons should carefully consider when
the Legislature gets into working
order. If we remember correctly,
the Democratic politicians promised
many moons ago that they would re-
duce the tax rate. Now, instead of
reducing the tax rate we are faced
with deficit or a big bond issue, or
possibly both. II the Democrats will
pass the appropriation bills for the
public institutions among their first
| bills we venture to assert that the
necessary money can be procured
| without a bond ISSUE Heretofore
they have used the money in the
treasury to increase salaries and to
pay for new Offices they created and
then claimed it necessary to vote a
bond issue in order to properly pro-
vide for the public institutions.
