A fliOVEIl'S QUARREL," . A the time of the Republican Na- tfonal Convention approaches, there is seen to be a distinct lesseninr in thel"11108 Intensity of the criticism that has been aiurled at the President on account of his attitude with respect to what he has been pleased to call ' the abuses of 'certain , malefactors ' of areat weaitn." There are several ; reasons why this is so, of minor import , be- Ing a toastened spirit growing out of th "Rooievelt panic" arid a resentful 1 because they know that, while: Roose but pretty well matured ; ' conviction 1 velt has been doing; superficially what that everything; has been done that could be done. If; as Mr. Roosevelt charged, , the "malefactors of great wealth" ;, brought on the paniq with.' malice prepense. they have at this time either closed on their bargains or are seeing; that the time lhas come when thf less said the better.. At any rate a silence is falling-, broken only by the occasional rumblings of such Inconsequential if brilliant voices as that of the New York Sun. Since Taft Is conceded to have the delegates, the resource of dcnounxinr nM. yelt 'doubtless appeals to the "certain malefactors" as having survived its usefulness, m the light of the alter- native, they see the situation in no uncertalnhight. For, th1 greater consideration car- rylng- theysubsldence of abuse of the for the office of Commissioner a posi-Presldent-ls that it would involve sup- tlon for wlhch his fitness was so wide- port Of one more sincere than Roose- Vflt In the prosecuUon of the policies fceretofore so hysterically denounced., Not without reason did RepresenU- tive Hull "refer to the battle between the President; and the "Interests'- as - "" r M , " Dee a. turmoil m the house, of the Republi-, cans, but the possibility of outside In- terference makes for peace and quiet- nees. y,oi mat s the "malefactors" adorethelr Roosevelt for his love-Uck. but that,they really that from him y are scarcely more tnan impulsive ucucesoi anecuon; wnne witirBry. p m a. posiuon to consider their case, they might expect a real punishment jlnetead of ; a harmless ? assertion of power. Mr. Roosevelt has said 4ard uiingv wnicn met witn the sure re sponse of hard ; feeling-. But he has not done the hardest things and the Interests" know , that he never" will. They know that Taft ne0r will. 'And, mores than that," they know: that Roosevelt knows that without their aid there; would be an ehd to the Re publican party and an end, also, of what they g-et from the party as the price, of supporting- it. : Airrr ail, tne quesUon With the malefactors," wlttj the "Interests." with the taiiff-f at teneJ trusts, is the contlnuance.'of special privilege and the , establishment and perpetuation of subsidy. After all, the considera tion which carries their support is that off extracting- i money; from the publlc.treasury as a gift and of obtain. inr from the naUon. the curious favor of ext6rtng monertf rom the people who constitute it The ReDublicah har. Jy, put Into power in a time of national stress, wasfirst captured for the mir- poses of greed, and then made pow erful by 'the fortunes of the politics) pirates who navigated it to their ends. Mr Roosevelt has, for his own pur- poses, seen fit to castigate those who have, levied tribute on the people. But he himself is master of the ship and sponsor for' the war It is making on a republican form '-of government -j And, naturally, while he enforces dis. ( cipllne, he does not make the crew walk the plank or seek to stop them in the enterprise that Is necessary to the safety of the voyage. Is it unreasonable to suppose. In- deed. that the very policies for which I the President was so roundly abused I pert more capable of giving an opln wlthln his party were takn with" the j Ion and more "apt to have the facts view; off saving; rapacity from the j consequences of Its Indulg-snce and of J preventing the consummation of ) the "square jdcsl" by talking about it? Is not the President, at the cost of crlt- icismi determined upon savins the greater wrong by punishing the small- er? It Is admitted that his most lm- pulslve acts betray a profound pollt- ical intuition, is it not "natural then, that so shrewd a politician should I have seen in an awakened public con- science a danger , to the greater, inter Vts of greed that greed itself was. too j freeoy w iwin wHi oe recauea uiai 1 Mr.' Roosevelt has never ; caused the bona fide dissolution, of a trust. It will be recalled that he. has never countenanced' the enforcement of the ono 'enTectlre provision of the:' Anti- Trust V law whereby those guilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade, or un fair '; discrimination and ; - unlawful combinations are declared; to be pun ishable by imprisonment as well as by, flne.

' Elsewhere In this issue will be found a card - from Mr. H. t C.

When it Is recalled that tho railroad experts testified without e xception - that the lor,s' by reason 5 of the reduced rates I would be in the neighborhood ht I2T5, 00 year and that the facts show that ' the receipts actually increased Instead of decreasing-. as Mr. Brown testified In his opinion they would de, it . will be apparent upon ' what a foundation of stuiy . and intelligent reason rested what appeared at the time an audacious difference. Given the opportunity of studying the ques- tlon presented, we do not believe that there. Is Hn the country a railroad ex make it a prophecy When stated, : Many people In every section of the State will regret that Mr. Brown does not think Hhe present a suitable time to ask for the nomination as Com mlssioner. but the State is .to be con gratulated that he Is to continue In Its service; and the day will no doubt come when, the people will jelect;to the position to which he naturally aspires a man who has qualified him self for it and whose unselfish and untiring labours have been of a sosj that are the more admirable. In that they are recessamy perrormea away from the public eye. "FOR NAUGHT BUT PROTENDER." ' Solicitor LInney. like his j talented father, Ion.i Romulus Zig-Zag. has a Way of speaking his mind freely. He is strong for 'Cannon for president. In an interview In the Charlotte Ob server, Mr. Linney is quoted as say ing: V-J:''i::', f:,X-: ; : ' -,' "It is said that the administration is fnr Toft an A that Virfrtr th of- nce-holders are for him. If that be true, and Secretary Taft should be nominated and elected, then I his first act should be . to carry out his soutn- yw ftg-tum out the Republi- can office-holders and put In their erves the rebuke." ... !' ; "Do you think-some, of- the , men holding office under Mr. Roosevelt will be for Mr. Cannon?" asked The Ob server correspondent. I, 4 "Certainly . I ; do." replied Mr. LIn ney, "I know many of them. Of course. In all parties, ; " - : you shall, marks Many :a -duteous and knee-creeklng . knave : 'j'.ii.ry-r-Yi-?

NOT MTCH CHANGE. Sometimes we are wont to think that in 'the rood old times before the war" politicians were not o ready to attack their opponents and there was more courtesy and chivalry than now. A reading of the' flies of the. political newspapers will show that men: who aspired to high places were criticised then , as now and- lanruage more aousive was orten used.' 'The North - Carolina Odd Fellow calls attention to the fact that the able Morehead was attacked, when he was a candidate for Governor for. his wealth and alleged love of money. He; was equal to the occasion and was re ported to, have made this answer to the'Charge: : -: ' -. '. ';;;i;- "They have put the whole pack of nounds upon me. Tray.- Blanche and Sweetheart, but before I s;et through ni send them yelping to . their ken nela They say old Morehead loves money! Yes, - old Morehead loves money and Why? Because it e-ive mm power! Because it enabled him to establish a school near his door, so that he might sit on his porch and see his neighbors' curly headed girls and , boys go by his house to get an education free of charge. What have those who jump upon me done? What have. Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart done for the world? Mr. Roosvelt and Mr. Taft favor, the Aldrich bill, giving- special favors to the. big- national banks; favor subsidies, giving special favor to the. ship trust, and favor the protective tariff, giving special favors to the steel trust and nearly every other trust. Those three things point to the reasons why real reforms that go to the root can not come through the Republican party.1 Most of the strong; men of both po litical parties are strong for prohibi tion; One of the leaders In the prohibition-movement in , Martin ; Is Mr. Wheeler Martin, who has been named for Collector, of Internal Revenue to succeed Mr. Duncan.' lit-Is-as moral question and men of ail parties' should support State-Prohibition': and' then it will be removed from the domain of politics. i ' 'i ?. Some papers that worship Cleveland and t hate ; Bryan, seem delighted that the New York Democratic committee declared for an uninstructed delega tion to the National Convention. In 1 8 92 , the. New 1 York delegation ; was solid against Cleveland and , Instructed for : Hill. ; ; And yet Cleveland was nominated and Mr. Bryan, and his as sociates helped to elect him. No antl-prohlbltlontst says he will put the question to' the conscience of the people of the State , and no such meeting Is opened 1 with prayer. These two facts shouid, make plain the duty of any good man who ' has ' been - in doubt as to how he ought to vote on the prohibition election. . Some people who speak hastily criticise . men who . drink Intoxicants for :'. standing : for . prohibition. ; The Clarkton Express sees " the matter more correctly, when ' It says : J "The hardest worker for J prohibition ought to be the man who drinks to excess. He knows4 the effects of.llo.uor." The man who expects Cannon to permit the passage of the Appalachian Forest Reserve Bill or anv '-law regu lating the liquor traffic does not know the ' Speaker. The only - hope for either bill Is the defeat of Cannon. Likewise' that Is the chief hope of any decent tariff revision. . - ;! Mr. Bryan "celebrated - his ' forty- eighth birthday on -Thursday.
