Charlotte LAWYER Addresses
Union NOn-Partisan League
By II. ID. STEWART

The Non-P Partisan political league
met in the Masonic Hall "Wednesday
evening with a large attendance and
considerable interest.
Mr.. Fred Flowers of Charlotte
made a very fine address on "gov.
ernment and politics." which Was
highly pleasing to all present.
This man Flowers is christian
gentleman of the highest type a
leader in the First Baptist church oi
Charlotte.
He is a man with conscience
upon whom you can depend without
the fear of disappointment.
Extracts from his speech are in
substance. as follows:
What is government Govern
ment is the regulation of mans rela
tions one to another.
What is politics. Politics is the
science of government.
Most people look upon government
and politics as myster' Gus, which the
the average man canal. understand
But they are not mysterious Ihg
necT le don't take ..re 20 think about
ther fundamental life They IRE in
hurry seeking things m&terlrl
They ge; things and are not salts
fed. They want more thing :. they
&c. these and are still unsatiStied
When they get what they want they
don't want it.
The world is having lots of econom-
ic troubles.
Mankind is reach ng out for ma
terial things and neglecting that snir-
itual life which makes character and
makes men treat their fellows righ.
We are bound to have politics as a
part of the government of marh nj
But what we want is clean, fair,
honest polit cs. Mr.. Bailey said in
a speech, Politics is a game that is
played for money" This is not true
in regard to clean politics. Tbs idea
represents only the dirty, corrupt kind
of politics.
Nearly all party platforms arc
made and laid W tn the idea of round
ing up the votes of the masses 70
continue certain party politicians in
power. Platforms are not made FOR
the good of the people. They are like
the platform to train. They viii
do to get in on, but not to stand on
between stations or between political
elections.
Men are in the game of politics f,r
power rather than for money. The
money is only means to an end
Men have power and control.
The Nom Partisan Leagues that are
being organized all over the country
will have a good educational effect,
The things they do VIII open the eyes
OF the people.
Men for generations have blind,y
followed political banners democrat
ic or repubhcan-without stopping to
think what they represent or what
they do not represent.
We need more political freedom.
The old party politicians care moth
ing for the people except to whip
them in line about election time.
There is a vast difference between

how he accounted for his good health,
he said. "The doctors may think am
foolish, but attribute my good
health to eating all of my food cold.
| don't even eat hot biscuits for
breakfast. If we have soup for dim
ner, set it aside to cool and then eat
for supper"
The Result of Question
After Rev. f. c. Snyder had told
the audience present in the court
house last week to hear Rev. Tom p.
Unison that he had th.rty-fve chill
dren at the Union County Home in
need of shoes, the writer innoeently
asked him the cost of shoeing a child.
1.-TWO dollars" was his response,
Coming into The Journal Office the
other day, Rev. Mr.. Snyder said; "As
a result Of your quest on, we not only
got two or three 50 contributions
the night Of the speaking for the
purpose Of buying shoes, but since
then Mr.. w. X. Bell of Morganton
and DR.. X. II. Garren have very gen
erously followed suit with eontri-
buttons Of So each. Another, Rev.
7. j. Higgins, sent four dollars to
provide shoes for two children, say
ing we haven't any children in our
home"

IS FOUR DOLLARS A SOUTHERN
PRINCIPLE?

Perhaps few people know that the
legislature has submitted a consti;u-
tional amendment TO the voters TO be
passed upon at the election on No
vember 7th. This amendment pro-
vides for increasing the pay Of men,
bers Of the legislature from four dol.
lars to ten dollars per day.
The state legislator is the only pub
lie servant who has not had his pay
ra sed since the beginning OF time
The per diem Of four dollars was
put in the constitution after the CIV
Il War. At that time four dollars
was very reasonable pay, for liv-
.ng expenses were low. As late as
he year 1908 leg slator could room
and board at the Marlborough House
Tor thirty-tive dollars month. Think
1f that. thirty-hve dollars a month
not week, as il would more than
cost him now. Yet the legislator
who lives at the Marlborough now has
only the same four dollars, and # I'D
lives anywhere else it is the same.
Some ore proposed scheme two
years ago whereby the legislators
might be able to raise their pay, and
nany of the members, smarting un-
der the necessity of serving the state
a, their own expense, felt that it was
plausible. But Uncle Rufe Dough-
ton got up one day and put his No.
10 legislative foot upon it and the
proposition dropped dead.
The voters ought to be willing to
adopt this amendment. Legislators
should receive some little compensa-
tion for leaving their business at a
very important time of the year and
spending two months in Raleigh at
a salary which, if they are really use
full men, will not pay their living ex-
penses.
If the amendment were adopted a
legislator could draw six hundred dol.
lars for the session of sixty working
days, and no more. Only few of
the states still hold to the old four
dollars per day, and these are few
Of the Southern states. In ancient
times four dollars must have been re-
garded as the sum fixed by high au-
thority and forever sufficient for a
legislator in the eyes of Southern
men. In fact, four dollars must have
been somewhat Of Southern prin-
ciple. If it was it was a good wear
ing one, for we have not been able
to change it yet.

the democratic party of the people
and the democratic party Of the poll
tlcian. The same is true of the re-
publican party.
All sorts OF schemes are used by
politicians through their subsiding
press to prejudice the people against
one party or another. The democratic
party and the republican party are
both right in principles, but rotten
in politics. They are manned by cor
rupt leaders many times who seek
not the public will but personal gain.
: Question Added.
II the democrats through manipu-
lation of primaries and other evil
influences select the devil or man
without a character and the republi-
cans select the devils brother or
another man without a character,
what are honest, earnest voters GO
ing 10 DO?
They are automatically disfran-
chised by machinery, and many Of
them remain away from the polls
in disgust. Then the balance of pow
sr which goes to the polls is pur-
chased with patronage or promises.
Money in Elections
when a man or corporation con-
tributes to a polit cal campaign he
is not making a donation, but an in
vesfment. And he is going to ex-
pect big returns on his money"
You have an inherit right as citi-
zens to invest gate the character and
the record of every man or women
who is a candidate for office. See
that he IS right in character and that
his motive is pure and undefiled.

probation to Mr.. Flowers. The
