The Asheboro couderlvtL'S'tS: PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. No doubt Southern Republicans deserve punishment for their sins, but it does seem there should be some limit to their suffering in this world, else eternity will have no hor rors for them, says the editor of the Shelby Star, in writing of Mai ion Butler's recent letter to the National League Republican club in Wash ington, and who is the leader of the Republican party in North Carolina and aspires to the leadership of at least the Southern States if not for the eutire country. Butler's letter said the republican party in many southern states had been cur Bed with incompetent leadership and enlarges considerably on place hunt ers in the party., And pray, what is Butler, but despised, discredited and the most abandoned man in the state and the most thoroughly re Dudiated of any public official who has held public office in North Caro lina. This is the man who rebukes republicans in the capital of the nation. For what purpose? Evid ently to get favor and influence at the national pie counter. Thus bv passing as an honest man and a holi er-than-thou nq doubt, he expects to get his finger in the pie when the campaign fuuds are distributed May bi he hopes to get it in the nat ure of a,subsidy for his newspaper or he may put his paws on it to dis tribute among the faithful and com petent leaders. The Courier, many yearc ago, under fusion rule when the wicked ruled and the people mourned made as earnest and as strong an ap peal as could be made to the good people of this county, not to tolera'.e or permit the use of money or liquor at the elections. The answer was yon are a puxificationist and a sann tificationist. The big "Boss" has more money than the democrats, and all any of us is after is the money anyway. Word wa sent that money had come from the North and would be used where it would do the most good. Two years ago, this paper made an appeal to all candidates and party workers to refrain from any and all efforts to corrupt any class of oui voting population, and called on all good citizens to units in an effort to prevent all efforts to corrupt the electorate and to do everything possi ble to see that such violators of the law were pnuished. We are glad indeed to have our uptown contem porary departing from the ways of the former leaders, and giving such good moral and wholesome advice. Good brother, keep up the lick "It is good preaching;" and what is better help -see that the advice is put into practice during the cam paign and on election day. It is said that 200,000 of the 342,000 people living in San Fran cisco are homeless and have been driven from their homes by the eaithquake, desolate and hungry living in parks and on the hillsides This is the destruction of the third city on the western hemisphere with in the last Bix years. The fearful hurricane that swept over Galves ton in the darkness of night and filled the city with dead and dying. Mt. Pelee's terrible explosion des troyed 26,000 in less than an hour but in an instant of time early on Wednesday morning of week before last one of our great cities was by the band of God made a desolate heap of ruins. Butler, the repudiated, the aban doned and the disgraced, the trader and the trafficker in politics, while holding office as Senator from North Carolina conspired with Daniel L. Russell, the governor of the State, and while both were in office, conspired with one Pettigrew to inducfl South Dakota to bring suit for the recovery of fraudulent bonds long since repudiated betray ing the sacred trust and confidence reposed in him by th people of the State. He wanted the State to pay EiillioD it did not owe. No public than Butler. It would be inteiesting to know what ltiliuonce caused nun 10 be invited to make an address to the youths of the State at the University, The idea did not originate with the young men of North Carolina at that institution. It may be that the faculty did not inspire- if, but one ' thing is certain, some powerful and unusual influence brought this- about.. Let him speak to the young men this once in his effort to re install himself and let it be hoped that he will never again after next June put his foot on North Caiolina soil and that his oice will never again be heard in a North Carolina institution of learning. The editor of the Statesville Land mark recently said, most truthfully wr think, ia referring to the popular editor of the Stanly Enterprise: Mr. Bivins is editor of the Stanly Enter prise. He publishes an excellent paper and is not only a fine news paper man but aline fellow persm ally. That excellent paper, The Louis. burg limes has enlarged to an eight-pag paper. Rural'delivery is in danger and in great danger, because our people do not take enough newspapers. A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR. President Roosevelt's intense dis like of "the man with the muck rake" can heardlv le wondered at, for "the man has uncovered many scandals that the Roosevelt Administration will go down into history as the most disreputable era of Republican supremacy. If there had been no muck, the rake would have remained idle. Was not e rake necessary to uncover the In surance grafting, the postal frauds, the land frauds, the Panama graft ing and mismanagement, and would rresident Roosevelt have prevented the exposure f these scandals, be cause it unmasked the corruption or connivance of some of the highest officials of the Republican party? It is no easy or pleasant Uak to wield the rake but the man who does stir up the muck in an over- handed manner, telling the truth without fi&r, or favor, is a public benefactor. The fact is, the Re- poblican politicians had become so intrenched in power that the graft ers thought that anything they did, however vicious, wouid be unob served by the people, but the man with the rake with his publicity, exposed them and the Republican party which was responsible for them. The modern Monroe Doctrine as expounded by President Roosevelt is very unpopular with some of our sister republics to the South of us. Argentina, entirely repudiates the right of this country to use the "big stick" and it seems that Sec retary of State Root will have to use more than usual diplomacy to pre vent a combination on what is known as the G-lvo doctrine, which is that the use of force is not per missible for the collection of debts contracted with European nations. The Administration will probably have to crawfish as it has done on other novel idea8. That Senator Elkins, of West Virginia should declare in a speech in the Senate that he is the best friend the railroad rate bill has either indicates that the railroads' do not fear the measure will hurt them, or that the Senator begins to fear the people, who will soon have his case under consideration. His vote on amendments and on the fin nal passage of the bill will be close Iy watched by his constituents. If the long debate in the Senate over the railroad rate bill was not accupyiug the Republican Senators, they might be doing something worse. It's only a week' or two ago they passed the steal known as the ship-subsidy bill. Congressman Longworth has been trying to help Bis father-in lawout by telling the Hamilton Club of Chica go that the present cry of dishon esty has the elements of hysteria. There is a general objec tion by Re publican politicians to exposing the grafters. "McCurdys, sued for another mil lion" is the headline in a New York newspaper. For the Lord's sake how many millions did these Insur ance grafters get awsj with?
