THE KIND OF MEN WHO STAB
YOU IN THE BACK.

The New Bern Daily Journal. in q
leading editorial. says:
The very fact that being
good TO minorities il accepted as
political cowardiee. that il usu-
ally repaid by a stab in the back.
has caused minorities TO be Civ
en- as little recognition as posi-
BILE, If at all"
When the observing and astute
editor of the Journal wrote the above
he must have had in mind the spirit
Of fairness and harmony which Mr..
Morehead, when elected State Chair
man two years ago, showed toward
Mr.. Duncan and his minority ele-
ment. Mr.. Morehead prevented the
Convention from removing Mr.. Dun
can as National Committeeman at
that time on the ground that he
wanted TO be fair and hold out the
olive branch" to unite the party and
enlist the support of Mr.. Duncan and
his minority followers for party
growth and success.
AS the editor of the Journal says,
however, Mr.. Duncan Is the stripe OF
a politician who not only did not ap-
preciate the spirit shown by Mr..
Morehead, but who no doubt consid-
cred his action political cowardice.' >
At any rate, Mr.. Duncan has since
repaid, by a stab in the back" the
commendable and generous position
of Mr.. Morehead.
At the last State Convention, Mr..
Duncan and every one of his follow
ers joined in an effort to try to re-
move Mr.. Morehead as State Chair
man before the end of his term. How
could any man be guilty of greater
ingratitude, under circumstances! 1t
is worse than the case of throwing
pearls before the swine; for even
swine do not try to stab you in the
back.

A DEMOCRATIC FALLACY.

In speaking of the iniquities OF the
protective tariff, in his speech In Ra-
leigh a few weeks ago, Senator Gore
said that he wished II could be ar
ranged so that those who did not ia
vor the protective tariff could buy
their articles less the tariff and those
who favor a protective tariff had TO
pay the cost of the article plus the
amount added by the protective ia
riff. And some of the Democrats in
the audience actually cheered that
mode OF reasoning.
Now, Senator Cores proposition
would be all right II he would go on
with 1t to it's final conclusion. Re-
member it is a poor rule that won't
work both ways.
II it could be so arranged that
those who oppose a protective tariff
could buy goods less the amount of
the tariff, then wouldn't it be per-
fectly fair for those same persons to
work for salaries and profits less the
protection of the tariff?
We have had only one Democratic
President in this generation, and I'M
der his administration every one had
the privilege of buying goods less
the amount of the protective tariff,
all had the privilege of working for
wages less the protection of the ia
riff What was the result! The ma
jority of the industries in this coun-
try could not afford to compete with
the free trade goods which had
been made in foreign countries by
pauper labor. Many had to close
down, and those that operated were
forced to cut wages below the stan
dard of living in this country and
those who had employment could not
even buy enough of the cheap food,
which was sold less the amount of
the protectivce tariff, to keep their
families from suffering, nor could
they buy enough clothing, which was
sold less the amount of the protec-
tive tariff, to keep their families
warm during the winter seasons.
Public soup houses Qess the cost Of
the protective tariff had to be es-
tablished in many of the cities to
keep many of the people from starv-
ing. The farmers bought their farm
implements and clothing less the
amount of the protective tariff, and
they also sold their cotton, corn and
meat for less than it cost them to
produce it.
The farmer and the laborer both
had to go into debt and it took sew
eral years under Republican prosper
ity in the Nation for them to pay out
of debt and get on an even footing
with the world. Now the majority
of them have money in the bank and
have some time for pleasure and rec
reation besides. We do not believe
the wiles of the Democratic poll
ticians can ever persuade them to
vote Cor public soup houses and for
four and five-cent cotton.

THE PLAIN. COLD FACTS.

The Raleigh Democratic organ. In
a leading editorial a few days ago.
said:
The world at large Ia being
made to know that the charge
made by the Democrats OF the
South that the Republican par
~ In the South Ia disreputable
concern Is absolutely true, and
the evidence Is being given By
the Republicans themselves.
This evidence 10 being pro-
duced in the contest before the
Republican National Committee
in Chicago where the fight for
delegates between Taft and Roo
seyelt is now on, with the hat
in the ring getting the worst OF
it thus far. These contests show
the rottenness OF the Republican
party in the South, and furnish
the proof that the Republicans
commit frauds one against the
other. In North Carolina this is
no news, and is simply reprinted
here that IL may be seen how
malodorous is the smell even at
a distance"
Why does not that paper call
names and place the responsibility
for the rotten contests and the de-
cisions that are being made by the
National Committee on the same
where it belonged. That paper knows
that the two rotten contests gotten
up from this State, either for trading
purposes or other selfish purposes,
were manufactured by Mr.. Duncan. 1t
also knows that the action OF the
Committee in seating such bogus con-
tested delegates is one that is being
supported on every ballot by Mr..
Duncan, the National Committeeman
from this State.
That paper knows that when the
people turned down the patronage
machine two years ago and elected
Mr.. Morehead, that it was a declara-
ton and a determination of the peo-
pie to put an end to the kind of
Southern Republican politics which
has been inaugurated and carried on
to the detriment of the party by men
like Mr.. Duncan in this State and all
other Southern States; and yet that
Democratic organ never refers to Mr.
Duncan in any way except in praise,
and never refers to Mr.. Morehead in
any way except to misrepresent and
abuse him, The reason is perfectly
plain.
The Democratic organ and the
Democratic machine in this State
know that Mr.. Morehead desires to
build up strong and victorious Re-
publican party in this State, and to
win victory for principles, and it fur
Their knows that he is a man with
the character and capacity to sue
coed. Therefore, their policy is to
misrepresent him on all occasions.
On the other hand, they know that
Mr.. Duncan and his stripe of Repub-
licans do not want any Republican
party, and that they are the best as
set that the Democratic party has.
This is the cold, plain simple truth.
