OBSERVING DEMOCRAT

n URING the recess of the Senate,
the President appointed as
United States Attorney for the
Eastern District of North Carolina
one Thomas d. Warren. This man
is now, and has been for several
years past, chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee of North Car
olina. Just before the elections of
last November, when the influenza
epidemic was at its height, Mr.. War
rem sent letter to his lieutenants
throughout the State urging them to
get the votes of sick Democrats, un-
able to attend the polls, under the
provisions of the absent voters law
of North Carolina. There is some
question as to whether this can be
DONE" said he in the letter, but in
my judgment it will be all right and
will certainly meet the spirit of the
law. We cannot afford to take any
chances and hope that you will
make arrangements to get the vote
of every sick man in your county
who will not be able to be out on
election day. There is no need of
making this matter public or discus
sing it with the Republicans"
The effect of this appeal, reports
have it, was to cause more fraud to
be practiced at the November cleo
tons in North Carolina than had
ever before disgraced the State. The
Republicans were helpless to fore
stall the political trick of their ad-
versaries. but they are now busying
themselves in laying before every
Senator the facts in the case in or
der to prevent il possible the con-
firmation of Mr.. Warren for the
place given him by the President
as a reward.

The Poets of the New

They sing of mantelpieces, soap.
OF blankets. apothegms and rope.
or turkey gizzards and eclipses,
or paradigms and eke ellipses.
They make poem out of suds,
or unwashed windows, fathers duds;
Their inspiration comes from ceilings.
From doormats and potato peelings.
They find there's beauty in a piece
OF sausage, or of cold. gray grease;
They simply dote on pickles, hops,
And love to write of kitchen mops.
Hark. how they yap on every hand,
These Scavengers of Poetry Land!

Berkman and Miss Goldman made
their headquarters in New York,
where their magazines were publish

large city in the United States and
also addressed anarchist meetings in
Canada. England, Australia, Holland
and other countries.
These meetings enabled them to live
as comfortably as any despised capital
ISL would wish. Admission fees were
charged, circulars sold and subScrip-

throw of government by violence. He
spent sixteen years and she three
years in Jail. but they were never
punished for the part their teachings
played in attacks by others on life
and property.
Berkman served fourteen years for
shooting Henry Clay Frick. and two
ears for urging young men to alb
stain from registering for the draft
early in the war. Miss Goldman was
in prison Two years for opposing con-
scription and one year for melting to

trial on an indictment for murder in
connection with the Preparedness day
bomb outrage in San Francisco. Miss
Goldman was acquitted Of illegal dis

They were the pioneer radicals in
