The Asheboro Couiier (PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. -Butered at the Pout Office al Atulro eooud C.ltut Matter. oue should He !o Fnullth . to Follow Hullt-r. If there is one thing thwt Mariou Butler, of the Kusutll Butler-Petti-grew toud steal comptiuy can do it is to parade himself as the whole thing unci to orate loudly upon mis-statements of the true state of affairs. Butler was in Chatham county lust Saturday and made u usual "high faluf.in" speech with nothing in it but sound and words, the argu ment being all lacking. In discussing that speech Maj. II. A. London, of the Chatham Record, editorially tears off the mask from the politician who played traitor to his state, and says: "The speech of ex-Setmtor Marion Butler, which he made to the Repub licans of this county on last Satur day, was characteristic of him, beiug misleading, deceptive and demagogi cal. It could easily have been an swered by any well informed speaker and yet it was rec'ived as gospel truth by b.13 misguided followers. Jtwas quite amusing to har him declare in the opening of l is speech that he cnuie to-day to advocate the same principles and reforms which he had advocated when he lust spoke here twelve yeais ago. At that time he was advocating all the visionary measures of the Populist party, such as the Sub-Treasury scheme, and government ownership of the railroad, and not oue of these mea sures did he mention in his speech last Saturday. "He boasted greatly of the pros perity of the county, which of course is not due to any measure former! alvocated by him, but is due to the defeat of the measures then advocat ed by him. In his speech he did not abuse "both the old parties" (as he formerly did) but abused only the Democratic party, whose candidate for President he voted for and sup portedin the palmy days of Populism and praised the Republican party, whose presidential candidates tet. years ago he tried to defeat. When he spoke here before he predicted the ruin of the country f th prin ciples of the Republican party pre vailed, and yet he is now boasting ol how "we" have made the country prosperous. Of course no oue can expect this "artful dodger" to be consistent, but it was really toe cheeky even for him lo declare that he "came today to advocate the same principles and reforms which he had advocated twelve yeais ago." "Hi3 denunciation of our Demo cratic State administration was based on three grounds, as follows: 1. "That; the Democrats had made a foot-bail of the educational policj of the State, and especially de nounced the taking away from the people the right to elect their count boards of education. He had for gotten (?) that his own Legislature in 189? had done that very thing - Section 0 of chapter IDS of the Laws nf 18'. 7 provided that the county board of education should be elected by the county commissioners togeth er with the clerk of the Snpeiioi Court and Register of Deeds, and their term of office was three years. ''That the Democrats had taken away the right of local self-government by allowing the Legislature to appoiatjsome magistrates in town ships where Republicans had been elected. He did not mention that his Legislature in 1595 had appoint ed several hundred(mauy of t em ne ;2roes), where Democratic magis trates had been elected by the peo ple. Probably he had forgotten)?) this also, or maybe he does not think " What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." If he is so much in favor of local self-government, he ought to favor the people electing their postmasters and otner .Federal officers. "3. That the Democrats had en acted the Watts and Ward laws against the sale and manufacture of whiskey instead of submitting all temperance measures to a vote of the eople. He probably did not kaow that many of his Republican hearers had petitioned the Legisla ture to pss the London" bill, 'which was a much more rigid pro hibition measure tKor did heknofw that the Watts law did not apply to this county, but that this county was under a prohibition law pasd in 1901, which was petitioned for bj majority of tlie roters of the coon- ty, mong tbem being several of his 1 hearers, who applauded ' his denu n ociatioa of the Watts law. "In hi? speech ei-Senator Butler -did not denounce "Wall Street" and -"plutocrats" a he nsed to do in the palmy days of Populism. This omie. eion may be due to his having be oome a plutocrat himself. Nor did he refer to the part taken by him in he Sooth Dakota Bond suit. On his subject he was severely sileat. The a part of his speech in "w'bic theie was some truth was the (Statement that the Democrats were not xs thoroughly organized as the Republicans. He said that every Democrat was a kicker and would not submit to party dictation, but that the Republican organization was thorough, and that every Re publican did as his party told him, and therefore it was a party that could do sometbiug. And vet many Republican speakers and papers are coutinually urging Democrats to desert their party in order to enjoy liberty and freedom in thought and action. News and Observer. The l.yiuliliii;. The Northern papers are prais ing Gov. Glenn, Judge Long and Sheriff J uliau, because of the piouipt conviction of the main ling-leader of the late Salisbury lynching bee. Wre are glad something has occurred to break the censure these papers were giving us. but the fact of the matter is liall belonged in the pi ni teutiary anyhow, aud no victory has been wen in putting him in his right place. If he had been a mau of influence he would not only never been convicted but never have been tried. As he happens to have no friends, no ino'iey, and no n lluence he is a capital scapegoat for those 'who greatly needed one. As we have said, we are glad something has happened to break the force of the criticism of the Northern papers, but to hear Hall spoken of as a "leading man," and Bully Boy aud Cress as influential citizens, is slightly amusing to those who are familiar with the circumstances. Judge Long is to be congratulated on the promptness with which he atteuded to Mr. Hall, but nothing has been said in the papers in praise of Solicitor Hammer, who did more, perhaps, to get the case in shape far trial than any mau connected with the affair. Mr. Hammer is a fine officer aud a brave man, aud bis name should not have been omitted in the list that was sent out to the world. Charity and Child ren. FRANKLIN VILLE NEWS.

ROOSEVELT STILL 121 THE EETQ Qaentlon of the Third Term Will Awtin il:s to He IH-ddeU Presi dent Working to Control Conven tion r.epulillcan Factional Flghta Lend Comfort to Dnioert. It U ratl.or early to tall; about the nomination of a president, which will not t:ike place until nearly two years hence, f;r many tilings may happen lu that time. The g hkI political pen em 1, liov.cvcr. keeps his eye, pa the fu- i tu:v aud pivpaivs to upset the plans I of his opponents, and a glance at the probable IJepubllciin nominee Is or Importance to iH'inocrats everywhere. There are at least nine receptive lie publican candidates for the presiden tial nomination numefo'. Tnft, Fair banks, Cannon. Root, .Foraker, Ctfm mlns. .La Follette, Knox and Spooner. Shaw wis a-candidate,, but Jjy this time must see that the renominatlon of Ctn.ii:l:i. for governor of Iowa over the Shaw protest has eliminated him from the contest. , The repeated oliicinl denials that rrcsldent It osovelt will be a candidate must not lc taken too seriously, for, although g ),d faith with other repub lican caudlda tes will retjuire that the president keep his word, his notable ambition to pei-jn'tuate his policies will perhaps ur-e him tJ use the administra tion forces to that end. It is possible, of course, that eveuta may force the Republican national convention to nom inate Mr. Roosevelt for a third term In spite of his protest nnd he may consent to run, as ho did for vice president in 1000. although he had explicitly pledged numerous politicians that "he would not under any circumstances be a can didate" for the vice presidency. Gen oral Grosvenor. who was wrjtlng let ters on the spot from Philadelphia fn 4000 to a New York newspaper, said. "If ho Is nominated It will very soon bo understood that the game has been one In which he himself has participat ed, eilher tin an organize? or as con senting to the performance." And Grosveuor added. "It will lie said of him either that he Is a dishonest man or e!3C that he did not want the place." Sir. Hoowvlt nccoptml the vice presi dential nomJnaflon nnd he may accept a third term; In fact he may now be wo;U::.,- to t::::t cr.d. In the event that Mr. I.oosi-velt discovers that a third term wor.fd be unpopular he will at least want to perpetuate' his policies. Under thaso circumstances the two ad ministration candidates are Taft and Root, and as the latter has a record that will not bear the Intense Inspection that always accompanies the candidature for president It would appear that Taft would then be the candidate pushed to the front by the administra tion. The reformers. La Follotte and Cummins, are either through Jealousy or from b?ing too strongly opposed to the railroads not acceptable to Mr. Roosevelt, judging from the fact that he has allowed the federal officials to oppose them. The other Republican candidates Fairbanks, Cannon, Foraker, Knox and Spooner tire not ia sympathy with the president's iollcies, and their chances for the nomination are handicapped by their well known corporation sympa thies or either past or present reten tion as trust attorneys. The Republican nomination fur presl denf, therefore, depends upon which of the two ; TOupis the Lns or thj outs can control the convention. a:vd a desperate ttrug;:!e for supremacy Is al ra.:;!y Iu:iu;.-u:iiUh1. The administra tion, with its patronage nnd horde of oEk'!:i!s ia every st;;te, has a vast lev erage t-j raise the necessary majority, and Jhnt tluf lover will be openly or secretly worked I y tho president Is the general belief of Republican politicians.

FtUlSR Prices otf Farm Irodacta. The price of wheat and oats is still falling, and yet the-.e cereals are pro tected by the tariff, with 23 cents a bushel on wheat and 15 cents a bushel on oats. How does the tariff protect the farmer when the price of his prod ucts Is not Increased thereby or even madojstable and the cost of every thlngie buys Is vastly Increased by the trusts and combines, which are fos tered and protected by the tariff? Will the farmers vote to stand pat at the coming election, when theyelect con gressmea'and members of the legisla ture wha will elect senators t To vote for Republicans means to continue the tariff plundering; to vote for Demo crats means tariff revision.

Tired ef Shsw.
