The Asheboro Couiier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. rxntered at the Post Office at Asheboio a 'econd Cm) Matter. PERKINS PAYS BACK MONEY. The Baltimore Sun congratulates t e country upon the fact that there 8 progress in corporation methods, and cites as an instance the fact that G. W. Perkins, former vice president, of the New York Life Insurance Company, has returned $54,019 to that company, the sum being the amount he contributed out of the company's assets to the campaign in 1904. This act of Perkins marks progress in public sentiment and indicates a healthful sign. A corporation has no right to contribute its stockholders' funds for political purposes, the courts hold, and there is an intimation that Perkins might be sued by the company for the recovery of the misused funds. The exposure of the msurance graft in the Equitable, Life and other companies has tlone good, and the public conscience with reference to these matters has taken a long stride A number of insur ance grafters have been compelled to disgorge and make restitution of funds. Formerly these gifts and misused funds were sanctioned by cuBtom; but within the last two years the whole scene has chauged and there is a healthier sentiment, a higher standard if you please to call it, which controls the customs and the habits of the so-called re spectable men who, a few years ago considered it meddlesome for the state to look into what they called their private affairs in the manage ment of their trust funds which belonged to the Jgreat multitude of afiare holders or policy holders. PARTY PROMISES KEPT. One of the issues of the last campaign was the reduction of pas senger rates; another was the reduc tion of freight rates; and the candi dates for legislative offices pledged themselves to work for a reduction when the General Assembly should meet. There was the most deter mined effort made through this section to defeat the Democratic nominees for the legislature. The efforts of the Republicans ended disastrously, and it would have been a public calamity if the counties of this great Piedmont section had turned themselves over to the Re publican party. As it is, the Demo crats had nearly all the members of both Houses; it was only here and there that there was a Republican member. The few Republican members who were in Raleigh did everything on earth that they could to prevent the passage of the most important measures which were en. acted by the legislature. They fought the reduction of passenger rates, they fought the reduction of freight rates, thev fought the anti trust bill, they fought everything that was for the best interests of the people, as is their custom. The only thing which seemed to Jconcern the few who were there was their desire to abuse certain Democratic leaders; not one of them made a speech in the interest of the people or espoused any good cause for the relief of the people or for the bene fit of the people. There has been no extreme or wild legislation, not withstanding the fact an attempt has been made to create impressions to the contrary. Say what you please as to what is called the "circus-like performance" in the closing hours of the legisla ' ture, etill it must be said that the cause of popular government hfs scored a triumph in the legislation of the state which was never before known. The Salisbury Post edi torially says: "The corporation has grown up into our industrial life because in the past it has met the popular need. To retain its power it must meet present exigencies, and must anange its ethics accordingly. If it had done this voluntarily, if it had been a faithful trustee, there is not prejudice enough against wealth anfl power in the most populistic state, to cause any governmental in terference. The corporation that acts fairly to the people; need fear but 'little pernicious governmental activity." A half a million dollars appro priation for the insane, nearly half a million dollars for the old Con fedeiate soldiers, and the peniten tiary turning ovfr nearly $200,000 of its earnings to help pay in this effort of the State to do more for the helpless and the old and ciippled, is more than was ever done befote. Are you not prouder to day that you are a North Carolinian than you ever were before? It is a God given privilege to care for the weak and afflicted and for those who are unfortunate and bereft of their DEATH OF MRS. AT WATER. n Away at Home of Her Daughter, Mr. S. !!
