EDITORIAL COMMENT NORTH CAROLINA'S PI IX. The Washington Star calls atten tion to the fact thac the members of the present session of Congress secured more than a million dollars for public buildings in North Cato lina. Quoting from the Star : "It is said that in this respect North Carolina fared better than any other State that got into Uncle Sam s strong box. "The city of Charlotte is to be congratulated upon having secured an appropriation of $250,000 for a new postomce building, wnicn added to the value of the present property. estimated at $60,000, will give the Queen City a public building that will represent a cost of about SSdOO, 000. It is said that no other city in the Union of Charlotte's size has received so large an appropriation, but it is none too small, for Uhar. lotte's size will rapidly grow up to it. The Star is glad to note also that Raleigh probably will get $225,- 000 for apublic building, and it any city deserves it North Carolina's cap ital city does. Other North Caroli na towns which received building appropriations were as follows Hickory, $60,000 ; Oxford, $50,000; Tarboro, $50,000 ; Monroe, $50,000; 'Greenville, increased to $55,000. Shelby came in for an appropriation of $10X00 for a building site. The Hon. E. Yates Webb, the Democratic Congressman from the Ninth North Carolina District, worked the rabbit foot, for $310,000 for public buildings in different towns in his district. That amounts to nearly one-third the public build ing appropriations for the entire State.1' While it is true North Carolina obtained appropriations from the present Congress larger than usual, yet this state and the South are still greatly discriminated against. Nota the following compiled by the Washington correspondent of the Louisville Ceurier-Journal: Fourteen soverign States, contain' ing one-fourth of the area and one. third of the population of the Unl ted States, have been granted out of the $1,000,000,000 appropriated by this Congress a fiftieth part, $20," 000,000. These fourteen states are cot in a poor part of the nation, un- watered, nntimbered, uncultivated. They are the group-making up that fertile portion of the Union referred to as the South, and which have the distinction also of being the only portion of the Union with anothe: race to care for. Beside the North and West, the South at the end of this billion dollar Congress has the appearance of a hungry razorback in a drove of Berkshires. And this despite the fact that the South contains four teen States, nearly 900,000 square miles, and had 28,000,000 of people at the last censns. The reason for this discrim ination is not plain. It may be that the party in power is taking this means of revenge for the loyal Dem ocratic sentiment of the South. It may be that the lesson of the war is not yet learned, and that legislators from New England and the North do not care to rebuild the ruins of reconstruction. One reason is Speak. er uannon, wno is an enemy to gov. ernment-built roads and to the Ad. pafachian forest reserve bill. Should these projects receive liberal national attention the quota of the south would be raised. In the agricultural aopropriation bill may be found the different amounts to be expended in the for estry service. The West gets $4,. 414,400 and the South receives $26, 000. Yet the timber area of the fourteen Southern States Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis souri, the Uarolmas, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Vireinia is greater than any equal area in the nation. Oat of its billion of expenditure this Congress appropriated $114,240 for good roads, a relief of primal im portance in opening the products of the outh to market. . France, how everts spent $303,975,000 on good roadcrfor the nation, and has con tributed 81,060,000 toward the con struction of local highways. Eng land in! 1908 spnt $89,000,000 on county roads. The value of such appropriations can be understood when it is remembered that one-half of the cultivated land of Kentucky is inaccessible because of bad roads. In the sundry civil bill, out of a miscellaneous appropriation of $96, 191,000 the South receives $2,602, 600. Of a general appropriation of $3,485,000 the South gets $48,000. Of 947,000 appropriated for fish eries in the sundry civil bill the South with its 2,635 miles of ceast, gets f25,002. r I In appropriating maintenance for rinfi r-rV-i tut Z:z'.)i gzia Mr. J. P.

JOHN MOTLEY GETS ANOTHER BAD JOLT. Our Senators, What pleasent thought must the term Bet forth in the cap. ion of this article bring to the minds of the people of .North Carolina. "Our Senators." What a volume of reali zation that something bubstantial is being done and being well done, for the Old North State must enter the minds of Tar Heels, and what a vast amount of appreciation must enter their hearts when thought turns to these two words. JNo mat ter what is the partizan feeling. very Tar Heel, it seems to us, mutt appreciate the fact that North Uarolina s two senators are doing big work for their State. Perhaps time was when "Our Senators" did not measure up to the requirements of their important and exalted posi tions, and, no doubt, time was when "Our Senators" made some gross er rors, but such time has not been of the past decade. "Our Senators " are measuring np to the very brim and North Carolina is being benefit ed and North Carolinians should be proud of the fact that they have in the senate two such men as D . M Simmons and Lee S. Overman. That is the way it seems to us, and we feel our breast swelling with pride and our heart thumping ecstat ically with joy when we think of Our senators. Senator Simmons is a vigorous, successful worker and energetically efficiently does he represent his State in: the upper branch of Congress. In the rivers and harbors bill he succeeded in getting large appropria tions for tne work in North Caro lina, and, due largely to his efforts in the Senate, the bill this year carries with it tne very largest ap propriation it has ever carried, be ing $1,303,051. He has also done well in every other department of nis Work. Senator Overman has also done some splendid work, ably assisting Senator Simmons in the rivers and harbors appropriations and doing tine work in behalf of appropna tions for publio buildings for North Carolina, senator Overman s mas terly manner and ability for leader ship are being recognized ' beyond the confines of his State, and it must make the hearts of Tar Heels fill when they read of the record of NorthCarolina's Senators in Congess.

Effort to Revive liquor Issue Denounc ed Best Reps. Against It. There has been consideradle talk that the Republican aState Conven tion next August would declare against the piesent prohibition laws iii North Carolina and thus seek to reopen the "liquor question." Col. V. S. Lnsk, the old war horse of the Republican party in the west, today made public a hot letter which he had written to Congressman J. Motley llorehead.repiying to certain statements in a letter which Colonel Lusk teceived from Mr- Morehead adv eating the election to Congress of McNinch in the Ninth District. In the course of the letter to Col. Lusk Mr. Morehead says: MeXliich to Lask. "While the Congressional Com mittee is seeking t see that the State shall bave a majority of Re publicans in the next Congress, it will greatly aid their labors for us to place in tne lead in all our can didates men who will fight for suc cess and upon a platform in favor of local self-government from which no party can ever afford to depart and hope for popular approval." Lask to McN.'nch. Colonel Lusk in replying asks: If bv local sele government you mean the exercise of the legitmate functions by government, well and good. But if on the other hand it is intended thereby to convey the ila that the whiskey question is again to te reopened in North Caro lina, then you may not expect the support of the Republicans of this section.The Republican party in this State from its earliest inception has always been in favor of local self, government. That is to say, it has always favored the right of the peo qle to vote for every public official from tne President of the United States down to township school com mitteemen. That is what local self-government means. But local option is an entirely different thing. Allies For Open Bar-Room. "Whether known or unknown to you, it is nevertheless true that your friends and allies in this section are boldly declaring themselves in favor of local option and many of them do not disguise me xact mat mey are in favor of restoring tbe bar-room with all its horrors." This paragraph is supposed to be a direct hit at such leaders as Thomas Settle and C. J. Harris, who are said to be among the mov ers along with the Morehead alliance, to restore the old conditions in the State. Alleged Horehead-Bntler Alliance. Col. Lusk goes further and gives credence to tne rnmor that More head and Butler have formed an alliance to defeat prohibition laws in the State and he called npon him to openly stata his position on tne subject. Says Col. Luik: "It is stated here upon what seems to be (rood authority that yon are a prospective candidate for chairman of the State Republican Executive Committee, and as tne Republicans of this aeC' will be called upon to make a selec tion of that officer at the next State Convention, it is a matter of im portance to them to know how yon stand on the question of prohibition in North Carolint and that especially how you are on the question of local option, and if elected will you favor a return to the open bar-room in tne event tbe Republicans con trol the next Legislature? And while nn this subject I will add that it is also currently reported here upon the same authority that you nave formed an alliance with ex-senator Marion Butler, of Wash ington, D. C.iththe avowed in tendon of defeating prohibition in tne state, is this lenort true or not? An examination of the pro hibition vote will disclose the fact that Western North JCarolina is overwhelmingly in .favor of prohi bition and more particularly is this true in strong Republican counties and townships. In the counties' of MitcheJ, lancey, Madison and Bun combe the vote against whiakev was practically unanimous in favor of prohibition. In one strong Repub lican township in Madison county, voting more than 400 votes not ' a single vote, was cast against prohibi tion. Another ' county giving a large nepauuean voce, nas abandon ed the county jail to the ladies of the town for a conservatory for their nowers tor want of criminals to ocupy its gloomy cells. This is rather a flowery showing for probi bition where criminals languished under local option. The fragrance of the blushing rose fills the gloomy recesses of the county bastile nnder prohibition where the sickening rumes or whiskey termeated the gloomy structure under local option. Tbe local optionist would reverse this pleasing observation. ' , They would destroy the flowers and supply the place with drunken convicts.
