THE REPUBLICAN GAME.

IN the House yesterday Representa-.
Williams Of Cabarrus, q Republican fghtins
any primary law which would have to do with,
the Republican party, stated that he had moi
read the party platform pledge Of his party -
TO a Statewide primary.
We have long had the suspicion that the plat
form pledge Of the Republicans was merely bal.
with which to catch suckers. The Republican
party can talk ever so smoothly about what IL
would do, but when it comes to the time of ac-
tual performance it is found either sleeping A.
the switch or SO far from call that it is not a1s
to do anything at all.
The State wide primary bill is the only
measure on which the Republicans have been
playing politics. The people of this State most
fortunately, are Informed of Republican plans
and purposes, and they not to be led astray
by any self interest pleas of the Republicans
The people of the State may Well keep thei.
eyes on the Republican party, for its aim in life
is to mislead. Any old thing will do to go into
it's platform, if only thereby it can get into
power. Office is the aim of that party not the
welfare Of the people, and the very attitude o.
the Republicans in the present General Asseme
bly, on the Statewide primary bill emphasizes
this.

WILL AID THE STAFF.

The two bills touching the public printing
introduced by Senator Muse. have passed both
branches Of the General Assembly and the un~
limited printing privilege is a thing of the past
in North Carolina. Commissioner Shipman, Of
the Department Of Labor and Printing, estimates
that careful supervision under authority given
In these new statutes will result in saving Of
from ten to twelve thousand dollars annually
The Muse acts, the Commissioner believes, have
removed number Of kinks III the statutes
relative TO the public printing, which will enable
the department to handle it in buSness-like
manner. Authority is given for elimination Of
duplication Of matter in different Qualifications
which will extend through all the different items

IhlS means q large saving all along the line
Senator Muse chairman Of the Senate commit
tee, and Representative Mayo, chairman Of the
House committee, appear to have realized that
their positions might be turned to good aGvan-s
tage, and they have rendered the State a distinct
service.
But, after All, the TASK OF putting the proyis~
ions OF these measures into effect devolves uDon
the Department Of Labor and Printing and that
spells more work It is apparent that the Conn
missioner and his assistant have supplied the de-
ductions for measures which will entail unon
them additional duties of a rather strenuous
character. Taking their statements before the

MAKE TT WORTH WHILE

IT was but few minutes before twelve O'CLOCK
last night when the House after spending a large
part of the day in discussing and amending the
Hobgood- Weaver Senate primary bill passed the
amended bill on its third reading. The bill mas
not been made stronger by reason Of the amend
ments to it, but rather the weaker III Que
matter this is as to the elimination of the oa'h
of party affiliation when voters are chailengeu'
The bill now goes back to the Senate
Between the Senate and the House there
should be made into law a Statewide primary
measure which will be worth while to the peo-
pie of North Carolina. AS basic prlnclple IL
should be recognized by the General Assembly
that the people have enough sense to select men
as candidates who fit for the positions
The curious thing to US always in this matter
is that the people are supposed to have
enough to elect officers, but on the part of some
not enough sense to pick out officers. The school
OF thought of that kind in the General Assembly
is not in touch with the sentiment which is ex-
pressed in the idea of the rule of the people.
Gentlemen who are opposing a real State
wide primary law seeing ghosts and hob
goblins. There is no danger in such law The
men who think have obtained a cross-eyed
view Of matters They should readjust their WIS.,
ion and get the clear perspective, which shows
to them that It Is the people VINO nave the rlgnt
to rule.
The State is entitled 10 q real Statewide leg
allied primary law. The people should not be
denied this right. They have made it known
most Enthusiastically that such law is their de-
sire The General Assembly will be doing
most unwise thing if this right is denied. There
should be contest among the legislators to
how perfect law should be passed. not to
how weak it is possible make the law
There is the idle talk that the Democracy
will be hurt by a Statewide primary law. The
shoe is the other foot It will be hurt by the
failure to pass such a law. The people have
waited long time for it, and all political par
ties being pledged for it's enactment it is high
time that it be enacted. The failure to pass a
primary law which has business to it will be
charged up the Democratic party, and the
people will want to know the reason why The
Senate and the House should gel together on
a bill which will do business in behalf of the
people

PUT IN BUSINESS METHODS.

The General Assembly is nearing close bur
il it adjourn without giving to the State law
which will better protect its financial interests
it will have missed a golden opportunity.
The affairs Of the State should be managed
just as other matters OF business are managed.
When this is done in North Carolina will be
in far better shape There should be for all
institutions such a system of accounting as wila
make the financial affairs Of the State clear and
plain to all
The members of the General Assembly can do
the State real service if it provides for
proved systems in this matter. bill which
would accomplish this ought to be pressed to a
vote for by such measure we sincerely believe
the State could be vastly benefited The
is we'll worth trying, and hope that the
General Assembly will try it.
