that his Democratic colleagues
have put Senator Simmons in
charge of the Democratic side OF
the chief tariff debate of the pres.
ent session ofCongress- thatron
cerning the revision OF the iron
and steel schedule. And the fight
ID now on. This Is the biggest
task that has been allotted to a
North Carolinian in two genera
tions.
This bit of news emphatically
answers those who have declared
Senator Simmons tariff record
is not sound The members of his
party in thu United States Sen.
ate-and they onght to know.
evidently have full confidence in
his democracy, AMI his wisdom,
too, for that matter.
This bit of news must likewise
m a k e those few conspicuous
North Carolina Democrats who
have been attacking Senator Sim
mons tariff record, feel rather
lonesome. The Democratic minor
ity in. the United States Senate
consists of mSn like Gore, Culbpr-
son, German, Bacon, HIKE Smith
and Overman, and if these men
see fit to make Senator Simmons
head of the corner, it cannot
make any great difference that
Representative Claude Kitchin
and Governor W. w. Kitchin re-.
ject him. "There's a rpason," as
the advertisements say, and ev-
knows it. And they
know, too, how unworthy OF true
Democrats that reason il.
This bit of news also goes to
show how much was behind the
press dispatches a few weeks ago,
when it was stHtel that upon
Senator BaiIey's retirement Sim
mons would take his place in
the Finanre Committee.
: The simple truth OF the matter
is that Senator Simmons is a biz.
ger man than some of his North
Carolina rivals would like for the
State to know. In ten years he
has won his way right to th =
front OF the most august legisla-
tive body in the world and his
fight for the revision of the tar
III on steel and iron will be one
Df the great arenas IN which the
battle OF the Democratic party
will he fought out this year.
He has a way OF making good.
Now watch him conduct t he
fight for the revision oil the iron
and steel schedule. When he fin
ishes that JOB the Nation will sit
up and take notice, and the Re-
publican party in the nation will
Tread his name like the Republi-
can party does now. He has nev-
er yet failed to come out on top,
and North Carolina will cheer
him on now that he takes in
mad the biggest thing a North
Carolioian has has had to do IN
since the day of Nat
Macon. She will cheer him on,
and she will expect him to sue
'fed.
His friends will miss him in the
'ampaign, but who would not
prefer to have him going up ag-
linsl the mighty in Washington
'athpr than using the States
lime to cnnyasI himself? Aud
here are some people who would
'ather vote Tor q man who faith
ully sticks TO the post of high
luty than for a candidate who
'an find in his public position
lothing bptter to do than to can
Iass for himself.
The Democracy Of North Car
olina must be proud of thisfresh

or Senator, and it must likewise

PARTY AFFlLlATios.

Inasmach as the firs political con test before the people now is demo cratic nominating primary. the demo cratic principles of government should at least De considered in the matter of the candidates for office.
 Docs the democrate party in this county count for anything
 We believe 1t does, but the prin. ciples of democracy had been terribly downtrodden by some aspirants for democratic favor.
 If this were a general election, the party claim would not be recogniz'd in the Issues, because the party would bs lined up against another party, and the lines thus drawn.
 Home rule is the first basic prin- cipie of democracy. ~1
 That is what the people or this city are making the issue in the present raee--the right of self government that will help the city and help the people. without doing either injury.
 Rule by appointment is Of mon. arcalies, and not Of democracies The candidate for a democratic nomination who objects to the, demo. crats having their rightfnl say in the selection of their public officers should receive much favor from demo crats.
 :, The democratic party of this judi eial district is interested in the nomination and election of s ticket If democrats are nominated who rep resent democracy they will be elect ed. Unless they are. there may bt q different story to tell
 :. The real old. schoel democrats ot the district realize iIhis point. It is being carried to them with telllns sffset. They see something further in tue nomination. of a man thar merely san individual choice. They ses : an obligation to party with whicl they have been affiliated for life time and whose principles they be ileye in and support
 There are many things to be con sidered at this time, and one of theu ceEtafaly is party interest. Can | Dc that in a section where a demo
 ' cratic party nomination means almos certain election. that q man can disrs gard party theories and party prin ciples. and stlll hope for bonor iron Fhae party. wben the honor carries with + good substantial public office and It's emolarerts? Think it over,

PEORIA LINE TO BE IMPROVED
Hon. George w. Sewers Arranainq
Meeting With Commissioners
Relative to the Big Improve
nents to be Made,

DeS Moines. Iowa, July 1O.-Spe-
cial: Hon. George w. Sewers gen
eral counsel of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis Railway is here today ar
ranging for a meeting with the Iowa
Railroad Commissioners relative to
extensive improvements and changes
ON the Peoria branch of that road
from Oskaloosa to Peoria.
Mr., Sewers says the program of the
improvements along the line of the
old Iowa Central has been practically
adopted but not made public yet
The budget carries with it an ap-
preparation of eighty thousand dollars
to be expended at Oskaloosa in the
enlarging OF the present round house,
the improving and enlarging of the
car repair shops and the changing
and adding to the yards.
Before the work is entirely COM
pleted it is possible that one hundred
thousand will be spent in Oskaloosa.
The improvements will enable the
road to care for all cars and engines
and will necessitate the employment
of more men, making Oskaloosa a
much more important station on the
system than II has ever been before.

Crops Around -GrinneII,

Grinnell, July 1O.-Special: A look
over the farms in this vicinity, con-
frmed by the testimony of farmers
farther away from this center, shows
that the corn crop promises we'll for
this season of the year. Notwith-
standing the lateness of the planting
and the GOODNESS of the weather after
most of the planting, most fields are
of good color and excellent growth.
The old rule of corn knee high on
the 4th of July" found itself COM
pletely outclassed by nearly every
field in this vicinity, unless upon
some wet lands where the planting
took place very late. Oats are max
ing a fine showing, though on rich
ground they are so rank in growth
as to be lodged badly. Some fine
fields of wheat are seen and the grass
crop apparently could hardly be bet
ter. Potato tops are turning brown
from the dry weather or the on
slaughts of the bugs, or both. The
bugs are said to have joined forces
this year with the old-fashioned long
flyers, devouring the tops in the same
patch with the big, fat, disgusting
Colorado beetle.

Doctor Sues Railroad.

Perry, July 10.-Special: DIR. w. A.,
Donnan of Keystone, east of this city,
has sued the Chicago, Milwaukee &c
st. Paul Railway company for 81 900
damages for alleged mistreatment
while a passenger on one of their
trains. The case will be tried in the
courts of Benton county. A few days
ago the doctor boarded train No. 81
at Van Horn, but did not purchase
ticket because he said there was no
one at the station to sell it to him.
When the conductor came around to
collect the fares, Donnan had some
trouble in locating the exact change
and claims the conductor Immediate
ly pulled the bellcord and stopped the
train. In the meantime, some friends
offered Mr.. Donnan sufficient money
to pay his fare, but Conductor Pike
refused to take it, saying that he did
not intend to stop the train for moth
ing. The doctor refused to get off,
but the conductor and brakeman put
him off and he walked back to Van
Horn. For the inconvenience suffer
ed and the humiliation he was COM
PEELED to undergo, the doctor believes
he is entitled to thousand dollars.

San Antonio, July 1O.-Special:
With two men and two women dead
and four others in such serious con-
dition they cannot recover, the entire
country about San Antonio Is aroused
today as a result of the wholesale
poisoning on the Rosale ranch near
here.
Armed posses are searching for a
Mexican man and woman who were
arrested as suspects. After their ar.
rest they were spirited away by the
authorities to avoid lynching and their
whereabouts are unknown. Friends
of the dead victims declare they will
find the MeXicans and take the law
into their own hands.
A barrel of drinking water on the
Rosalie ranch was poisoned by ar
senic and resulted in the death of M.
c. Diaz, county commissioner. Neigh
bOrs were summoned to the Diaz
home without knowledge of the cause
of death, and they also drank from
the barrel and were stricken and died
within a few hours, and in addition
four others are at the point of death.
Three are in such a serious condition
that if they recover they will be in
valids
After the deaths of the visitors to
the ranch the water was taken from
the barrel and given to live stock
and resulted in instant death.
