When President Roosevelt speaks of planned

name of William Randolph Hearst who had so great
an agency in obtaining the nomination for Mr.
Roosevelt in the Democratic convention In Chicago
fonr wears ago comes to mind. Curious that the
ro+orietv of Mr. Hearst did not come to Mr.. Roose-
velt,s knowledge (if Hearst is the man he means)

porters.
Meanwhile planned attack" on Hearst has
been going on the last six months in the radical

cialy the Southern wing of it.

had an income of $4il6 per year,
and owed S33,779 on which he
was required to pay interest.
Our Mr.. Hoover, considered by
many to be an admirably cautious
business man, had not hesitated to
assume a debt which was more
than 10 times his annual income
in 1888.
But for 1886 this Mr.. Roosevelt,
to whom we have referred, is in
debted in an amount only seven
times his annual income. ,
On account of the generally
more healthy state of his business
Mr.. Roosevelt was able to reduce
his interest charges during the
past summer to slightly more than
2I2 per cent; but Mr.. Hoover back
in 1888, in spite, Of his intimate
o friendship with numerous bank
ers, had been required to pay al
most 3l2 per cent on HIS loans.
The result of this situation is

STATE SHOULD INVITE BIG BUSINESS

North Carolina could well be cat home" to some
new types of Big Business
Much is being said in the heat of political and
nartisan fashion in these days hostile to Big Bust
ness.
Some of it totally unjustifed: very small frac-
tion of it. no doubt rests upon the basis of merit
Big Business is not any holier than little Dusi-
ness, neither is it, taken by and large, any more
reprehensble.
Just because Big Business is Big is no reason 10
crv out against it and charge it with all manner
of venality.
North Carolina has very little of Big Business.
You can count the corporations on the fingers OF
one hand that measure up to that cognomen ana
still, perhaps, have a finger so left.
These that the state do have however, are ao-
sorbing native labor, and best they can, taking
care of the surplus dleness.
More than that, they are doing their full share
of underwriting with the taxes they pay the pubic
services of the Standardization, charitable insttu-
tons, and operating costs of commonwealth gov
eminent.
1t would be splendid if North Carolina could en-
tice few more types of Big Business down among
its Green Pastures.-Julian Miller in Charlotte

RESPONSIBILITY PERSONAL

The fact that PSF people were killed on the high
ways of this country on Sunday and Monday en-
phasizes anew the clearly proven hazard of travel
on the roads and streets of the country Stringent
legislation in the way of municipal ordinances and
state laws and their rigid enforcement are needful
but, in the last analysis there must be an awak-
ened sense of responsibility the part of drivers.
Recklessness and carelessness are so common that
they excite no comment.
The drunken driver is the worst offender, and
until in every community there is law making
imprisonment compulsory, in the event of convc-
ton, the Public Enemy No. of the highway will
continue to defy the law and society.-Nashville,

PUBLIC AFFAIRS THAT DEMAND
ATTENTION

Judge ]. Foy Justice has addressed a
communication to The Times-News IN
which he brings to the public's attention
four matters of Importance to the people
of Hendersonville and Henderson county.
These matters ought to have the earnest
consideration of our citizens; and study OF
the problems presented by Judge Justice
should be made with the sole view of ar
irving at conclusions and steps which will
contribute to the betterment of conditions
in the town and county. These matters
should be examined by our citizens with
out prejudice; they should not be made
political footballs; and our people, at least
a majority of them, should make an honest
effort to get together in favor of move
ment to adjust these public affairs in a way
that it is believed will contribute in the
greatest measure to the advancement of
the interests of the town and county.
The matters called up for consideration
by Judge Justice are the present system of
handling tax foreclosures, the recorders
court of Henderson county, management
VI ItlS "dISI oilu
adjustment Of the bonded debt of Hender-
sonville.
Every citizen familiar with our public
affairs and problems ought to be informed
in regard to all of these matters and ought
to have some clear and definite opinions
as to the questions of public policy in
volved; but it is doubtful if any consider
able number have given serious thought
along any of these lines.
1T is for this reason The Times-News
backs the plea made by Judge Justice for
earnest consideration of these problems.
The one of most extensive and command
ing consequence as affecting the future of
HeHdersOnville is that of adjustment of the
public debt of the city. The others are of
much more than ordinary Importance to
both city and county.
THE Times-News urges all citizens of
city and county to give thought to these
matters. The columns of The Times-News
ate open to instructive and constructive
discussion. Without bias or prejudice let
us consider them with a view to reaching
cSnclusions and making such changes and
adopting such policies as will contribute to
the welfare and progress of town and
county. 2, g.. = &. .s ... ... .-

LIFES SIDE SHOW

that in the present campaign vot-
ers are being browbeaten. There
is nothing novel about that pro-
cedure; it has long been the GUS
tom in American municipalities
for the dominant group to herd
voters to the polls and vote them
like puppets. Let an employee of
the average American city or of
the average political ring support
er, cast his vote contrary to the
orders Of the ring and see what
happens to him if he is caught at
it.
This sudden discovery of the
fact that the electorate is being
bullied reminds one of the shout
that went up from Tacoma, Wash
ington, when, one day, the fog
lifted and they discovered Mt. Ra-
nier. 1t had of course been there

thing of majestic beauty, while

of voters is a thing vicious and
despicable; it is one of the out

TWO WAYS

One way is for the election
board to certify the election Of
the political machine candidate
before investigating charges of
election frauds, as was recently
done in North Carolina. Another
way is for the board to refuse TO
investigate charges of election
frauds, as was recently done in
Tennessee.
