RALEIGH, N. c., July 24.-"I do
not propose to let anybody from out

declaration of Governor Beckett to-
day when his attention was directed

an epidemic of complaints In re-
gard to prison conditions in this
state.
1--WE at least have states rights
left as to the conduct of our pris-
ons," said the governor, land I in
tend that this right shall be main
tanned and exercised.
II have been cussed' all over
North Carolina, from Cape Lookout
to Slick Rock creek. on account of
my sentimental love for convicts.
One leading newspaper accused me
Of making reformator1es out of our
prisons.
81 have been perfectly willing to
take this 'cussing' from North Caro-
lima folk. I am their servant and it
is the constitutional right of every
Tar Heel to 'cuss' their public Off
Gals, a right which they exercise
freely and about which make no
complaint. But I absolutely refuse
to take 'cussing' or criticism of my
o-icial conduct from any outlander."

Double Tragedy Is . -
Enacted in Savannah

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 25.-The
bodies of Richard F. Linehan, presi7
dent Of the Wallace Vinegar COM
pany, and of William +. Hunt, en-
found in the basement of the com
panys building at midnight. Line
han had a bullet through the breast.
Hunts body was in nearly sitting
position, with a revolver nearby.
In the business office was found
an unsigned note saying "Linehan
attacked me-" The theory of the. po-
lice is that in an alteration, Hunt
shot and killed Linehan and after
writing the note he returned to the
basement and committed suicide.
Both men came to Savannah from
Tennessee. Linehan left his home
for business at o'clock Saturday
morning. Saturday night his wife
became uneasy when he failed to re-
turn and search was instituted.

GOING TO AN EXTREME.

Once upon time, not very long ago, it was
considered a signal distinction to be named by a
congressman senator as a candidate for admission
to either West Point or Annapolis where free
education with sufficient allowance for mainte-
nance is provided, with life employment as an Off
Ger for every graduate
But while the patriotic spirit of young America
has not been diminished the youth of the land seem
to have been satisfied with duties and inclined
more to individual initiative in business and indus

not be single youngster in whole state who could
pass creditabe examination in the educational tests

UNUSUAL RECORD

The American Automobile Asso-

concluded a most remarkable econ

which practically all the well

This run was made from Stock
ton to the Yosemite valley and re-
turn. Notable among the we'll
known cars was the unusual rec
ord made by the Jordan car, man
ufactured at Cleveland, Ohio.
Referee Towne awarded a per-
feet score to the Jordan, whose
record was 1855 ton miles per gall
Ion of gasoline 274.56 ton miles per
pint of lubricating oil.
This splendid record is most re-

claimed that this was the most

OLD PARTIES AND NEW.

The democratic party had troubles of it's own at
San Francisco. The smile at the expense Of the re-
publicans died the faces of the wags among the
party followers. Both parties are in the same pre-
dicament as far wide diverstes of opinion upon
platform and conduct are concerned.
This may may not lie significant. TO the spccu-
lative mind which seeks reason for phenomena it
affords food for thought
The old line of cleavage longer exists. States
rights, as ISSUE is dead. Free coinage is dead.
The tariff is dead
On the League of Nations question every shade of
belief is represented in each partu The is true
of questions of domestic policy Each party has con-
servatives from r2actionary cautious Each has
progressives from forward-lookng to radical.
This situation has grown gradually more complex
for several years. The end is not yet in sight AL
most any man is republican or democrat chiefly in
name. Habit or timdiy may hold him within party
lines.
This has ceased to be true of some few in both
parties since the national conventions. There are
those whose views are exactly represented in the
platform and candidates. There is a still larger
group who somewhat approximate this condition A
still larger group held by hostility to the oppo-
stion.
There those who believe that in little time
re alignment will occur, with all conservatives in
the republican party and all progressives with it's
opponents
others be1eve both Old parties are dlssoving and
that out of it will come conservative and progressive
parties under some apt nomenclatures.
1t would seem apparent that some evolution is in
process. 1t would also seem that the period of re-
alignment is not far distant.
A scrutiny of both platforms shows that, in order
to get them broad enough for all, they very much
alike.
Party records, rather than party platforms will
constitute the issues. I. It n. x
