GOVERNOR WILSON AND THE
CARNEGIE PENSIONS.

If Mr. Woodrow Wilson can afford
to accept a pension from Mr.. Car
negies steel trust money, then why
can he not afford to let his campaign
managers accept campaign funds
from Mr.. Carnegie or from any other
trust magnate?
In this connection, it will be re-
membered that Mr.. W. ]. Bryan went
before the Nebraska Legislature and
appealed to them to refuse the offer
of Mr.. Carnegie to donate to that
State fund 20 be used to pension re-
tired school teachers. Mr.. Bryan took
the position that no self-respecting
school teacher could afford to accept
steel trust money in the form of a
pension or in any other form.
If Mr.. Bryan is not willing for the
teachers of his State to accept Car
negie's trust money, then what does
he think of the leading Democratic
candidate for President, who appeal
ed to Mr.. Carnegie to be put on his
pension roll as retired teacher?
The fact, however, that Mr.. Will
sons application for the pension
fund was denied, and that he did not
get the pension, may qualify him to
be a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency.

SOME THINGS THAT AXE MI
WHAT THEY SEEM.

CONGRESSMAN Goodwin has gwen ou'

hill he has introduced IN Congress
% "end gambling in cotton and otner
farm products" The headlines "
Tho interview attracted our attention
and so we read the interview, only 10
find that the proposed law would not
.+,,n gambling in cotton futures, nor
even attempt to stop it, except those
who are engaged in unadulterateu
gambling" Of course, under TINS
nronosed law adulterated gambling In
cotton and farm products will be le-
gal.
This reminds us of the bill intro
duced in Congress by Representative
Webb to prevent the shipment or IL
onor into dry territory. When the
first news of Congressman WeoDs
Mill was sent broadcast over the land
the real prohibitionists thought they
had a solution of the liquor problem.
as we'll as a friend in Congressman
Webb. But upon scrutnizlng the
bill, it was found that it was only
intended to prevent shipping it into
dry territory by the hogshead or bar
rel, and the Jug and bottle trade was
not to be molested. OF course with
such a law they would have to
order it a little oftener, which would
inure to the profits of the Express
Companies.

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION IN
NORTH CAROLINA IS NOT FOR
SALE.

The editor of Munsey's Magazine
was evidently suffering from indiges-
ton when he prepared his editorials
for the February number of that pub
LEGATION. If not that, it must be some
other chronic disease that makes the
whole world look blue and bad to
the one afflicted. Munsey's editor
took fall out with the Southern Re-
publicans and termed them simply
an office-holding clique and only a
set of ''hirelings" when it comes time
to nominate Republican President 1t.
That is pretty hard, but the most
audacious lick is given the Southern
Republicans in a recent issue of the
Philadelphia North American. It
says We have no Republican party in
the South and yet have a large voice
in nominating the President. 1t also
refers to the Southern Republicans
as the ofice-holding gang and men
who can be bought with office, and
makes no exceptions, except Missouri
and Kentucky, where it admits there
is just little responsibility. 1t is
bad enough for Munsey to try to cast
slurs at US, but for the Philadelphia
North American to attempt to read
US lecture. when it is known that
there is more political corruptian in
Philadelphia among both parties than
with the possible exception of Tam
many Hall, is just more than we can
bear.

THAT ASHEVIILE INSURGENT
MEETING.

From the noise that was made
about the call for all Of the dis
gruntled insurgent patriots" OF the
State to meet in Asheville on last
Saturday, one would have expected
that there would have been enough
people from the mountains to the sea
to fill the largest hall in Asheville
and to have had several overflow
meetings in the streets. The meet
ings, however, turned out to be a
very tame affair.
Even the report of the proceedings
published in the insurgent organ, the
Asheville Gazette-News, shows that
they did not succeed in getting a man
outside of the county Of Buncomhe,
and that the small gathering of only
seventy-one people met and resoluted
that they were each one without a
Job and wanted one, and therefore
were disgruntled and would 60 out
and go to work cussing somebody I'M
til they got one.
We take It that every patriot in
this meeting unquestionably thinks
that he would like to have Mr.. More
heads position as State Chairman
and esuld flI9ft much more accept,
abby TO himself If not to the State.
