The Asheboro Couiier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. V Elite red at the Post OlHce at Asheboro 'econd Cut Matter. It is 8iid that Pi)3ttni3ter Genera Cortelvon, who is also executor of the Republican party of last cam paign, i kept busy these days watch ing and thinking about that New York grand-juroy, which has re turned indictments "giinst so many the New York Life Insurance com panies for paying money belonging to the policy holders for campaign purposes to the National Republican executive committee during the last campaign Smarting under the char ges made so parallel against hini for corrupt methods, Andrew Hamilton, Atty. for one of the New York Life Insurance companies has produced a receipt for seventy-five thousand dollars signed by Cornelius N. bliss, the treasurer of the National Repub lican executive committee. The New York Evening Post has an ar ticle iu replying to this matter in which it says; "Now that the whole system of voting of the corporations to carry on Republican campaigns has been made so clear, the wonder continues here that President Roosevelt and Chairman Cortelyou . Hnd it possible to remain silent. Testi mony offered before the Armstrong committee that Chairman BaWck, of Wisconsin, took $2,500 from the Mutual Life as the company's share toward preventing tariff revision, has gone undenied. Senutor Piatt's lucid testimony, telling of the an nual cash contributions of $10,000 which he received, has never been disputed. Now comes the receipt for another secretly-made contribu tion for $75,000 to add tuel to the fiame of resentment. The Presi dent's silence in the face of thin ac cumulation of evidence, showing how the party of which he is the titular and actual head buys and pays tor selections, and its sources of income is 'difficult o understand. The facts disclosed cannot be ignor ed, as every important Republican here realizes. Nor will the issue that has been raised blow over; no answer, is made to specific sworn testimony and disclosures backed by written documents." Chairman Taggart, of the Nation al Democratic committee has prom ised to get proof from any autho.iz ed committee when sommoned today, and make a statement, from whom he moneys were received by the Democratic committees and for what purpose they were expended and dares the Republican chairman to do likewise. Every now and then we hear some one say that the Republican party should be united. This is a false delusion; for that party has been weighed in the balance and found wanting by the people in North Carolina. There may be respectable number of North Caro linians, who believe in the so called Republican party principle, but there aie very few who have any confidence in the particulars of that party, quoting from the Wil mington Star of recent date: "Oh no, the people never had their minds clouded but they had wet blankets a plenty thrown over them. and we should think their experi ence was enough to cook the goose or the Kepublican party until doomsday. So far as prosperity is concerned, North Carolina has her share of prosperity that is world-wide that is even more markedly shown in financial circles in Europe than it is in America. The Republican party is not responsible for prosperi ty across the waters aDd when times go to the bad over there we would be pretty apt to find out that the Republican party would be power, less to save us from depression in the United States. Anyhow, North Carolina is getting her share of prosperity despite any Republican party in North Carolina, and it is pretty safe to say that the Old North State will go on enjoying her share in prosperity without any change in her State administration. Prof. C. KCoon, an experienc ed edncator recently made an address in which he said that many teach ers were paid too much and that many of them were paid more than they earned. Prof. Coon is a man of ability, but he is "very much off" to use a slang phrase, about this tlr. Yto Ey hold educational picnics and rallies all you want to but you cannot have schools with out capable teachers, and you can not get these at the prices which are paid lower than we pay convicts from the penitentiary to work on public roads. We h-ive increased the price of the lower school of ficials and have to some extent in creased the price of school teachers but there is not a corresponding in crease in the price paid to teachers. The nomination of Hon. J. Miltou Brown for the State Senate by the democratic convention at Albemarle in Stanly county on Tuesday ot this week, was a goods election by the democracy of Stanly. Mr. Brown is a Randolph county boy, a nephew of Col. J. R. Lane, and a good demo crat and a gentleman of fine ability and the highest integrity. He has served two terms in the House and was chief-clerk of the Senate for four years. Mr. Brown is an eloquent speaker and fine campaigner. Until two years ago Stanly county has had only one ; Republi can official in fortyy ears and that was a sheriff elected by accident several years ago. He served two years. Two years ago fe 'ling the security of a large majority for many years, many of the democrats did not take the trouble to vote. They will vote this year. They held their convention on Tuesday of this week, and never was there a more determined assemblage in any county in the State. It is an m- sqiration to hear them talk. They mean to win and Stanley will give an old time Democratic majority of from 500 to 800 Hon. II. B. Yarner, Chairman of Democratic County Executive Com mittee of Davidson county has call ed the county executive committee to meet in Lexington next Mondav for the purpose of calling a county convention. Mr. ariur lias de clared his intention to resigu as Chairman of the executive commit tee and asks that his successor be re-elected at an early date. For five tuccessive campaigns Mr. Yar ner has been the official head of the partv in that countv.l'aud has been a successful and' brilliant idership. The county has be come one of the rock-ribbed Demo cratic counties. In the last cam paign Davidson was one of the few counties which gave a 'greatly in creased democratic majority. The factory owners at High Toint declare that they have more at work than at the beginning of the lock-out while the jlock-out men declare that many accessions have been made to the union. Both sides state positively that they will not give way an inch. The union men say that they will not give up the union to get back to work and the factory men assert that their factories shall rot before they will employ union men. Senator Overman recently made a very sensible speech, in the Senate on the rate bill. In the close of h:s argument he told of the danger of power conferred on j federal judges. He declared that in the James case a federal judge denied justice to a widow whoes hus band had been killed by a railroad in JNortn Uarolina. J udge Peebles suggests that the justices of the peace be required to attend court Monday of the first term in every year at which time the presiding Judge when he charges the grand jury is to instruct the magistrates as to their duty. Ormy'i Chapel. Most of our fanners began planting corn last week; Mr and Mrs Eugene Routh, of Greensboro, visited the former's grandfather, Mr Isaac Konth last week. Several of our vouua neorae attended the exhibition, near Cedar Falls, last Saturday. Mr and Mrs Wesley Konth have anew comer at their house a girl. J W I'aah, haq, tiecutor of the late Horace Lineberry, will sell at public auction, on the 2Gth inst, the personal property of the deceased. Mr W M Routh is spending a few days at his old borne here.

Sena or Knox, the eminent eva poration attorney, who was elected to represent the Pennsylvania Rail road interests in the United States Senate, declares that the railroad rate bill, as it stands, is unconstitu tional. The New York laboring men are quite anxious that the Department of Justice shall take the necessary steps to prepare the coffin trust for burial, but the Department has re ceived such a shock over the de cision iu the beef trust case that it will require time before it gets into the ring again. Then the Adminis tration has declared its hostility to most of the things Labor wants any way. That $100,000 appropriation for a private car for the President has been side tracked until the amount actually necessary can be discovered, for it has beeu found that however much is appropriated the Adminis tration expends it all. As the Beef Trust magnates hate been set free by the court, through the blundering of Mr. GarnVld hnd the law office) s of the Administra tion, the price of beef canuot be ex pected to come down, nor the price of cattle to go up and yet the Re publicans aie trying to make out that this is a trust-busting Adminis tration. When such expert lobbyiuts as "J udge" Hamilton and "Lou" Payne agree that the admitted amounts paid by the Insurance companies as campaign contributions was "a mere bagatelle how th people will opeu their ey s when they know the whole truth about tue connection of the Republican committees with thi "yellow dog fund.'' All the cabinet but Mr. MooJy are said to be out of harmony with f resident Koosevelt ou the control of railroad rates, which shows how the leading Republican statesmen are owned and controlled by the cor porations. No similar conditions have prevailed under any former Administration, and it is safe to say that a house so divided against it self can hardly endure. It may come to this that President Roose velt in self-defense will have to com promise with the corporations, or if he is an earnest reformer, he will have to invite Democratic statesmen to join his official household. nen cne democratic partv was disrupted over the financial issue at the beginning of the second term of President Cle eland, how jubilant the Republicans were and how con fident of success in the then coming congressional elections. Now histo ty reports itself and the tables are turned, for it is the the Democrats who are now jubilant and encour aged and the Republicans discour aged and facing defeat. A Drgrneratr Parly. The Republican party has brought the ountry to a shocking state of af fairs and there is no end to the scan dals and exposures that are constant ly being brought to light. That keen observer of affairs, the New York Post, says: "The present is a period of havoc aud upheaval. The gale of reform that rages over the land lays bare most hideous conditions. A dollar ized society, insensible to all but pricking selfishness, makes possible corruption high and low. Bribe, graft, knavery, exploitation, investi gation, disclosure, confusion, shame, in all the avenues of activity the public terret is at work. I Ins is a period of iconoclasm. Idol after idol crumbles in the fierce glare of revelation. An age whose mighty achievements are giounued on con fidence finds itself at the apex of its triumph preoccupied in revealing vast betrayals of trusts. And the bewildered soul shocked into un certainty snatches desperately after fragments of that primal faith which binds society together, fearf ul lest the slow fruits of an age long altruism be lost to this universal exploitation." Senator BalMy'a Trlamph. Speeches on political subjects de livered in the United States Senate are said to but seldom change the votes of Senators. The forensic ability of Senator Bailey and his un answerable argument that Congress has the power to prohibit the in ferior federal courts from issuing temporary injunctions against the enforcement of orders of the Inter state Commerce Commission, proved one of the exceptions. Senator Hale, a political opponent, acknowl edged that he and other Republicans had been convinced by Senator Bailey's arguments that the power to restrict the courts was inherent in Congress. No Senator or. the present day has such a record to boast of, and it is a personal and political triumph that lifts Senator Bailey to the pin nacle of fame as a Democratic ora tor, debater and Constitutional law. yer.
