The Washington Post and the
Charlotte Observer In Mondays Is |
sues printed long articles giving the
views of the business world as TO
Democratic tariff revision.
The Post article says at first the
business world had feeling of Sc
curity by the utterance OF Mr.. VIII
son, but the recently expressed views
OF the dominant leaders OF the Demo
cratic party in the House have again
aroused a feeling OF marked uneasi-
ness. Thousands of industries in
which both corporations and private
individuals have their money invest
ed are beginning to show evidence OF
alarm. These men who produce the
most of the American trade and who
employ the large army Of American
workmen and skilled mechanics, are
asking whether 1t will be possible for
President Wilson, though he be sim
cere, to have his Congress enact
tariff bill that will not paralyze busi-
ness and throw labor out Of employ
ment.
Many believe that Mr.. Bryan will
dictate to Mr.. Wilson and to Con-
gress, and Mr.. Bryan wants radical
changes in the tariff. He stands for
tariff for revenue only" which, to
Mr.. Bryan, virtually means free
trade. The American Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association is growing very
uneasy and will petition the Ways
and Means Committee of the next
Congress for a hearing before any
cotton schedule Is framed.
While the free trade element Of the
party will outnumber the more con-
servative element, still they will not
have easy sailing in framing their
|
Clark is still disgruntled over the
outcome at the Baltimore Convention
and that Floor Leader Underwood,
actuated by jealousy, will be willing
Nto join almost any combination to de-
feat the efforts of the Bryan element
in Congress.
Business will be at an unrest until
the Democrats are through tinkering
with the tariff, and conditions then
may be even worse.
If the majority of the country haG
done their thinking before the cleo.
ton instead of afterwards, the bust
ness of the country would not have tt
worry for the next four years.

Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, and
one Of the most prominent Democrats
in the South, thinks President Wilson
will find many obstacles in his way
when he takes charge of the reigns
of the Government. Among the OBJ
stacles Colonel Watterson points out
is lack Of strong men, of the first
order of intelligence, in his party.
He thinks in this respect Mr.. Wilson
will be much worse of than was Grover
Cleveland. Without seasoned and ex-
perienced advisors President Wilson
is scheduled for a rough road from
the start.

DEMOCRATS LOST VOTES.

Those who still claim there was
landslide for Democracy should get
out their pencil and tablet and figure
on the returns. Then they will find
that the land and the voters, too
failed to slide toward Democracy on
November S, but will find that to the
contrary, the Democratic party actu-
ally lost votes.
True, the Taft Republicans in some
States voted for Mr.. Wilson as the
most effective way to defeat Colonel
Roosevelt, but there were thousands
of Democrats who voted for Colonel
Roosevelt because they considered
him the only true progressive in the
race. If Mr.. Taft had not been in the
race, Colonel Roosevelt would have
carried every State outside of the
Solid South, and would have made
some bad cracks in that.
The following from recent issue
of the Charlotte Observer throws
some light on the matter:
"The New York Press prints a
table showing that in thirty-two
States, apparently including all
outside the South, as we'll as two
border States, the Roosevelt-Taft
vote exceeded the Democratic.
A united opposition, on this ba-
sis, would have named 358 cleo
tors, or a majority in the Elec-
toral College of 1856. Democrats
voting for Roosevelt are regard
ed as measurably offset by both
the Taft and Roosevelt people
who voted heavily for Wilson,
because of their mutual antagon-
ism, in different States. The eff
feet is to set up a contention that
the Democratic party won by de-
fault. 1t really seems hard to
figure out the matter any other
way"

Disastrous Duel in q New York
Hotel.

New York, Nov. 18.-A man and a
woman being trailed by detectives in
connection with a diamond robbery
were shot and killed in a cafe in the
Bronx tonight; central Office de-
tective and two private detectives
were shot and fatally wounded and
the proprietor of the cafe and a wait
er were seriously injured.
The man and woman killed had
registered at the Elsemere Hotel, a
small house connected with the cafe,
as "Vogel and wife, Lottie." Vogel's
first name was illegible.
Vogel and his wife opened there
volver battle as soon as the detec-
tives told them they were wanted.

Driving Immense Drove of Turkeys to
Market.

A special from Newton, N. c., to
Tuesdays Charlotte Observer says:
"The big drove of turkeys which
Charlotte is expecting from the
mountains, passed through here to-
day. The people of this place never
saw so many of the fowls in one
bunch. 1t is said that there were
between 500 and 600. Four men
had them in charge and they made
slow progress, the birds being allow
ed to choose their own gait.
Camp for the night is made wher-
ever the turkeys take a notion to
roost. Several of the biggest COB
blers, it was said, weighed thir: y-five
pounds and at Charlotte prices would
be worth $500 or more. The mar
ket here at this time is only IL 1-2
cents a pound.

THE COURTS DELAY.

An effort was made to have the
last Legislature provide for a num-
Der of extra judges and solicitors in
this State in order to relieve the con-
gested court dockets which prevailed
in many of the counties. The meas
ure was given much consideration but
finally failed to pass. The same propo-
sition will probably come before the
next Legislature.
Before the State prohibition act
was passed it was claimed that the
measure would be the means of dim
inishing the number of courts, but
notwithstanding that it was only a
few years ago that four new judge
ships were created and four Demo
cratic lawyers given new berths,
some Of the politicians still claim it
Is necessary to create more Judge
ships in order to clear the congested
dockets. If the courts were run on
a thoroughly business basis it is be-
lieved that all the cases could be dis
posed of with the present number OF
judges, Notwithstanding the increase
in crime under Democratic "good
government"
1t Is not an unusual thing for GER
tain judges to be a day or two late
In reaching court, and in many cases
when they arrive to find that the
lawyers are not ready to try cases
set for trial. All of this is a waste OF
time and puts the counties to a need.
less expense besides. The followine
special from Wilson, N. c., to Sun.
days News and Observer. serves as
an illustration:
Wilson, N. c., Nov. 16.-Much
complaint Is being made all
over the State that there are too
few Superior Court judges. This
may be true as to other counties.
but 1t doesn't seem to apply to
Wilson. Down this way it seems
that the lawyers are, in a meas
ure, to blame for the contested
condition of the civil docket, for
not long since a special term of
this court was called; Judge Car
ter came to preside, and after
signing up few court papers
left for Baltimore to attend the
Democratic convention then in
session.
"a two-weeks' term is now go
ing on here. Judge E. A. DAN
iels Is on the bench and when
cases are called some of the
lawyers are absent or have not
prepared their cases. In order
that the work may progress
more rapidly, Judge Daniels, on
Thursday at noon, ordered a re-
cess until Saturday morning to
give the attorneys time to better
prepare the calendar"

One Member of Board Also Under In
dictment on Charge of Retailing
Whiskey;.
Greensboro N. c., Nov. 19.-The
entire Board of Commissioners of
Rockingham County has been indict-
ed for failure to carry out the recon-
mendations of the grand jury and up
on instructions of Judge o. H. Allen,
according to a story which was
brought here by a well-known Rock
ingham attorney to-day. It seems
that In Rockingham, the County Com
missioners have several times ignored
the recommendations of the grand
jury, and that in July last this body
specifically ordered the building of a
new county home, reporting that the
present structure was "a disgrace to
civilized community"
The commissioners, it is said, paid
no heed to the order, with the result
that at the term of court closing Sat
urday, Judge Allen ordered Solicitor
Graves to draw presentments against
OfOAy mOmDCA Va IAC
At the same term of court fifteen
true bills were returned by the grand
jury against Commissioner J. r.
Pratt, charging retailing and solicit
ing orders for whiskey. 1t is said
that Commissioner Pratt was interest
ed in a distillery operated across the
Virginia line and the charge is that
he took orders for the delivery of
yhiskey.
Fire of unknown origin at Graham
early this morning completely de-
stroyed the Methodist Church of that
place, the loss being estimated at
about $1,000. It could not be aseer-
tanned whether any insurance was
carried. The fire was, discovered
about 1 o'clock this morning and at
that time the roof of the building was
falling in. A theory Is that the fire
caught from defective wiring In the
cupola.
