DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION The fact that the Democratic Con vention of - Craven county baa been 'called or the fifteenth of April, has caused some discussion as to the time of holding the State Convention. It is surprising and '. not - according to precedent for county convention to be called before the time and place for holding the State Convention has been settled. V Indeed Chairman ' Chatham has apt yet Issued his call for the meeting" of the State Execu tive Committee to' fix. the time and plaeej for holding tha State Conven tion. v; This makes the action of the ' Craven committee all the more sur- ' prising. '",'' So far as any expression has been heard among Democrats the opinion is general that no primaries or county conventions should be held prior - to the election on State Prohibition. That election will j be held on the twenty-elxth t of May. The Demo cratic State Convention will probably nam arTBr wns rvfiniiHin irr JiinH. so that the primaries and county con ventlons can b held the middle of June, after all the school closings and after any excitement that may be caused by the prohibition 'election has passed away. Some leading Demo crats think that the primaries in every county and every county con vention In 1 the State should be . held on the same day. There is much ar gument In favor of that plan, which prevails in Georgia, Mississippi and other states and works so as to give no advantage to one candidate over another. - The Democratic National Conven- tlon will be held In Denver Ton the seventh of July, and It will be neces sary to hold the State Convention no later than June the thirtieth, in , or der to elect delegates in time for them to make the long trip.T' But for the t necessity of a June ; Convention to send delegates to the National Con jvenUon It would be better not to hold the State-Convention until the first of Xuguat and then to hare shorter ; campaign than we have! been ac- .i i ... .... . i .customed to having jin North Carolina. In this day of ; rapid transportation, jfree rural delivery,, and plenty of ; newspapers that reach every nook and borner of the State there is no need of the long campaigns of former years. Indeed a sixty days campaign would he welcome to candidates and politi cal leaders as well as to the farmers and people living in towns. Chairman Chatham is wise In not hurrying a meeting of the' State Com mittee. ' The longer In reason it is delayed and f the latest possible date for holding the State Convention the better, will the people' be pleased. Let us have one thing, at a time. In April and May; the State Prohibition act will command the attention of the voters. Aa soon as that is settled will be time enough to hold political primaries and ; conventions. In the meantime it would seem to be. the part of wisdom for the counties not to order primaries or. conventions, at least until after the State Convention Is called. - The man who "works. the people4 finds it a success If the people are guL. lible.

Thunderer Tomtit Hicks, cause us to speak a solemn warning to . the susceptible young Democrats of the State not to permit themselves to be blown, J snatched, wooed "or hypnotised from' the moor Ings of their faith. The 'young Dem ocrats have a good dealt to stand, but we caution tijat they st&nd ; fast. The cays when Mr. Hicks thundered were hard enough, but nowj he has gone to warbling. He has substituted se ductive airs for Homeric threats. He has. tuned his lyre and hides in the bowers of the Springtime like any mlnstel faun. Music issues f whence before came the ' whirl-wind! We are not so much surprised ait the versatll ity of Mr. Hicks as alarmed at it He is playing a game calculated to lead the youth astray. We can only coun sel young Democrats toi abstain from temptation; to deafenthef r ears against the snake dance; to remember to say : their prayers at night and defy the dulcet voice calling I them to the primrose paths and the midnight rites, of the Republican Clubs. It i a. pretty picture, but It will have a bitter reali sation. To call Mr. Hicks the Devil were to risk doing two distinguished cltlsens an .unintentional injustice; but we can only say that the! wilfs of the one are as sweet as those 'of the other. Mr. , Hicks has either been studying Mephlstolean methods; or the Devil has a good deal to learn from Mr. Hicks! ": j ,! ' Observe the way in which the politi cal sage of Henderson makes his sly attack. Does he make a direct ap peal at the beginning? The methods of the letter writer are too adroit for anysuch bungling scheme as that Instead, he speaks to those who have already strayed and are now waiting on the plush and velvet of j the clubs forNthe rich rewards their dreams hold forth.; Beware, says he to them, the fate of the Louisburg Club, done to death by the Rhamkatte Roaster. Do not listen to Daniels, says he; but list en to me. It sounds rough but it Isn't , Strange, argues Mr. Hicks, how small a thing Is sin. Tou have been taught a code of political morals.. For gei u, jusi one taste a little one ana we have' you. ' '4 );"! "To become a Republlcan," says Mr. Hicks with the authority of One who knows,; "has a definite meaning; one that is not odious, One that implies faHlhg In gentiy with the political opinions of a very great majority of the people of this country;" i Considering that Mr. Hicks jrell, not gently but with a (hud and has been thundering ; and threatening j to rain ever since, this Is doubtless Imerei v poetic license, but ho continues with: 'An abiding confidence based on an experience of 60 years that those ooin Ions will be carried into successful governmental operation and t bring happiness and prosperity to all who desire them, not In or by a scramble for office, but In being allowed ,to work out -successfully theirj own Sal vation. It means .a country of our own, protected against foreign pauper labor and manufactures; making and consuming our own goods It j) means sound "money; it means a government strong and vigorous enough to pro tect the poor and weak against the predatory, rich and wicked strong; It means a oartvand a government that s equal to all : emergencies, one that vein vumpti opain 10 - cipse lis ancient . & - . tyrannical oppression j of Cuba, : can suppress ... a ; coal-miners' strike, can dig ; an lnteroceanlc canal, can jj bring about peace between foreign: warring nations, can end a financial panic and force manufacturers of food products in any state to make them pure." Now isn't this like an organ? j Does t not ,roll and reverberate with ca dences like Cathedral music?! Under ts magic1 spell one Is almost J inclined to admit, the "all-good" of Republi canism, to forget the Teddy-bear, en gines; to imagine the annihilation of all the rich malefactors, the elevation of those who toil from the bread line and the soup ' houses to the Elyslan fields of the full dinner pail and the eight-hour day; to see , the tariff, re formed by Its friends, Roosevelt pos ing as Santa Claus and the O. O. P. elephant distributing cigars and hand, lng around the wine. One Is even in clined to cheer the glad and glorious freedom of the Cubans to gb about their business under the beneficent regulations of American: bayonets and to be glad in the Innermost recesses of a grateful heart that the food! that i out of' reach is guaranteed foj be pureJ" Consider the masterful: way n which the financial panic goes out like a passing Interlude, touched upon only as a vague and mystic I theme before it has drifted off like ; in cense, on the air. To be sure, we km not au ncn, nor an nappy, nor all monarchs, but what matters, it If we think so? k We expand our breasts and shake hands. "Music hath charms? Indeed. ' I'.U But once more the theme changes. and this time the melody Is that of appeal to created excitement At the proper moment when the millenlum Is all but hare, when the skies ; are glowing, and the mills humming and the poor man struggling with the tails of his dress suit the key shifts. The voice Is almost that of the evangelist the brethren shouting and the iter wringing their hands . while! the: i ct. alted and up-lifted Voice picks u up. sweeps- u forward to repentance and to glory, shouting Its own experience. declaring its own j ' comfort calling, oh allto come!

If you Join thV Republican party rrom tne rignt motive, the world will be happier and brighter to you than it ever was before." '--Who would risk the. fate of Lot's wife? Who, going forward Into the night with the fires of a consumed Democracy smouldering' in his rear, would care to be a melancholy monu ment to vain regret? The imagery of It! The threat of it! The hopeless. ness of it! Away from this Sodom that "brought on the war," eyes ahead to the glorious future waiting on be yond, through the desert of the panic, footsore andt empty though you be, away to the Hicks mirage of palaces and vineyards and running waters, The "tracks lead this way," but there are more tracks coming back. Do not look upon them but follow on hep, hep. Dry bones In the valley. skeletons along the way, hope ever shining and ever deferred, offices in the distance come, come, when the time is ripe! But Is 'IConvert" Hicks afraid to look back? J REACHED THE WKOGS STATE. The campaign for the Goyrcnorshlp though longer than usual, has now reached a stage that must give pain to all the candidates, as well as long suffering . public. It is bad enough to have to endure a ten month's campaign for the nomination without having to read the virtues of the candidates cmblamed in poetry. even though all tho rhymesters were second editions of Tennyson. The first poem celebrated the vlr tues and worth of Mr. Ashley Horne and it wo 3 such a good poem that the friends of the other candidates grew envious. The poet laureate of the Horne campaign is Sheriff Ellington, and he thus immortalized his candi date: WHO IS WHO. For Governor who shall we, elect That tfilce to adorn ? It strikes me that we should select For that place, Ashley Horne. We want a man that's broad of view, Who a' I "spite work" would scorn. Who'd give to every man his due -Well, that means, Ashley Home. The farmers all will want a man That's up to cotton and corn. To guard their rights, I'm sure, they . cars. . Depend on Ashley Home. In finance he is eagle-eyed That man's yet to be bora. Who of tener' strikes the flowing tide Than this same Ashley Horne. Then rally 'round his standard; boys This it no "hope forlorn" With confidence you may espouse The cause of Ashley Home. The bard of Rockingham county. Mr. S. & Harris, of Reidsville. reared near the famous "hills of Dan" feared that his candidate would not have a fair chance in the race unless he was "done up" In poetry, and he there fore-struck his lyre and sung of Mr. Kitchin thus: ! Tins IS WHO.. A man who Is noble and brave. Dependable to do the right, His good name from graft would save Even at the cost of his life. With a brain as great as his heart To propel the ship! of State. With adjusted compass and chart To protect her from evil fate. ; -'-v.--" '- .r I. . The man who's fought our battles And has never knoiwn defeat Who'll save your goods and chatties From turning to chaff and cheat. His grand vlctry of ninety-six, Over the adroit Settle. Who was never in; better fix. And fought with defiant mettle. For this we will ever love him, In lifting the "Fifth" from shame, And to us it would be a sin To refuse to: promote his fame. Ashley Horne no doubt Is all right. Yet there's nothing like sticking To the victor in every, fight Our W. W. Kitchin. The Charlotte Observer, which Is said to be favorable to Mr; Craig, see ing poems advocating both Kitchin and Horne for Governor, let it be known that unless the Craig adher ents should "drop Into poetry" the Buncombo man might feel discriminat ed against Mr. Marshall De Lancey Haywood, of Raleigh, who has won fame frying to make old Tryon.a saint and a statesman, when his con temporaries In North Carolina execrat ed the tyrant who Is always ready to do a friendly service, tried his hand on a Craig poem, and after courting the muses, turned out the following: Some "tear their shirts" Till they need stltchln'.

Dickens gave the name of Silas j Weggs to his man who formed the habit "fo drop Into poe try.' It seems thatj habit has been formed by the friends of the various candidates. No doubt the candidates possess all the virtues ascribed to them in terms made necessary to rhyme, but beloved have ye not troubles enough , Without another three or four months of this poetical campaign? The public will 4no! doubt vote each of the rhymesters a poet laureate if henceforth the campaign Is permitted to progress upon the plane of common evjery-day prose. IMPROVE THE WATERWAYS. President Roosevelt's advocacy of the improvement of the inland water ways and ' the preservation of our forests has been consistent and wise. It will bear fruit Jn his' message, transmitting the'preliminary report of the Inland Waterways Commission ap pointed by him a yea ago, the Presi dent truly says that "the development of our waterways and5 the conserva tion of our forest ar the two! imost 1 ; : ! pressing physical, needs! of the country. They are inter-dependent and; they should be met vigorously, together, and at once." i ;i . The need of the business and man- i . . - . i , . . . ufacturlng world is cheap and. quick transportation. Water transportation means cheap transportation for no railroad can. compete with water In cheapness. Quick freights must go by rail, but much freight can go as well by water and as a matter of fact railroads have been so Mow, owing to congestion of traffic and other causes. that railroad transportation has been slower than water .transportation as 1 well as much higher. . 'The construction of the inland waterway on the Atlantic seaboard and like waterways will cost less money than contemplated railroad ex- tension and will tend to ly the transportation heavy freights. reduce great charges on The Asheville Citizen quotes Mr. Weaver, returning from from Okla homa, as saying 'the money situa tion, in Oklahoma is not so bad as at other places and the banks are not In convenienced by shortage of money" Why? Because Oklahoma has a Jam by which the State guarantees all de posits in State banks and people did not withdraw when citizens of other States rushed toi take out their money. Tne cost oi living naa not gone down though the panto has pinched most people. The Wilmington Star makes this happy comment; "We are tearing a great deal of late regarding reduced railroad earnings, reduction of the number of employes, reduction of wages and a general all-around re duction, but has any one discoverer any reduction in the cost pi living?" j It is refreshing to hear' Justice Brewer preaching that public debts are not blessings : This sort of talk in an era when Aldrlch wants public debts upon which to base currency is healthy ' SPIRIT OF THE PPvESS - Bully for Pou.
