Entered as second-class matter May *0,190B, at the post office at Burling ♦on, North Carolina, under the Act of ]Jongre88 of Mareb 3 1879, ^iTednesday, Nov, 29, 1911. In the death of J. P. Caldwell, Wednesday, the state and nation has lost one of its best citizens and gifted editors. For nineteen years he has made The Charlotte Observer one of the best papers of the state. He built it by his antiring efforts, from a snaall be ginning. According to the custom of our pilgrim fathers who landed on that desolate land and after wandering in the wilderness re turned thanks to their Heavenly Father for their supply of food, although scanty, we make to morrow sacred. We have be come a rich people, but ever re member the Thanksgiving ex ample given us several hundred years ago, by those who were not so fortunate as we. We Raise the Qffestion. We clip the following from the Charlotte Observer: “The only thing in the ;world we have against Mr. Under wood is a fear that he can not be elected and we most cordially desire that onr of tlie several Democrats who can be elected shall be chosen for the nomina tion/^ What we most cordially, would like to know is who those several Democrats are our honorable con temporary is speaking of when he sajs “who can be elected. Is it Bryaii, he v/ho has thrice been defeated and reieently placed his word of honor that he will not accept the nomination if tend ered him. Certainly not Bryan. Is it Wilson, the man who plung ed into the thickest of the light in his own beloved state and was overwhelmingly defeated, cer tainly not Wilson. Is it Champ Clark, the man whom the Ne* braskian with his lash the Com moner is fighting, and who will not subdue to his rule? Again we say, certainly it is not Clark. But, for the sake of argument let us fancy it to be Harmon-y they seek. With almost a year interven ing between the present time and the time of the next presidential election predictions are like the four winds^and likel;^ to be chang ed. At presenj; on^ would thiijk Taft, who has made a very able President ai^d is rapidly gaining ground to be the man of the choice of his great party and the prob able nominee. To the contrary, some of the best thinkers of our nation have been discussing a re cent issue of the outlook and de bating if the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt would accept the nom ination if tendered him. There is another channel which leads people to think that perpaps Roosevelt will be a Hughes sup porter. Neither should we in passing over the names of those who could wield the mighty stick of our nation wisely and well, forget La Follette with his migh ty band of followers. It remains only a matter of choice which of these great leaders is chosen for the nomination. As either has the ability to continue our growth as a nation of prosperity and commercial activities. But to say that Taft will be nominated and elected w^uld net be looking through a glass darkly in our estimate on. The End ot a ihrilling Slory. Like the conclusion of a thril ling ghostly tale, the story of Henry Clay Beettie, Jr. has gone down into history, and the num ber of columns in the newspa- pei- 1,1.VC nco asic'o to ils telling are filled with some- tiiir.g- anew. That Beattie is ■dead his record is recorder", but there remains thousands who have watched the proceeding from day to day with an eager eye. To these may this be an instructive lesson. Instructive because of the great truths it teaches. His confession remov ed every doubt, it takes a great ^ responsibility from the shoulders of those whose unpleasant task it was to be his prosecutors. And to even think for a moment of taking the life of an innocent man would be baffling. That the law is cold and stern js^readily seen, but it is fair and necessary, and should be inforc- We Wait to See. ^ William Jennings Bxyan and Champ Clark are no longer, pull- ing together in the harness. For these many years Clark has been a Bryan supporter, a Bryan fol lower and a Bryan standjMitter. But that Clark ixas become speak er of the house and is putting his ideas into force. Bryan points out to him his errors and folley. His ideas are to build up har mony which has not existed for many vears in the Democratic ranks. Bryan reasons in the Commoner this way: If Speak er Clark conceives his highest duty to be to preserve harmony he will exert his influence to pre vent the consideration of any measure upon which the Demo crats are decided, the trust ques tion, for instance. In the opin ion of the Nebraskan |he people need a champion in the hou^, and he raises the question to whom will the honor go. If Mr. Clark has the welfare of the Democratic party at heart and believes more in building up the party and keeping it in har mony he is not the man for speak er, neither should he be con sidered as a probable Democratic noinimee for the presidency. Can not the leaders of their par ty place a man with broader ideals before the people or, has the Commoner brought false ac quisitions against Mr. Clark? We wait to see. is a» dumb as an oyster and Ay^ cock »jpwl behind the gills.^ I w&S'^^rompted to write ms article iFom reading an Editoi^ which speared in Josephuft^-' News and Observer of Nov, liBi I will give in full. The New®- and Observer says: “The Lfflimberton eorres- * pondent of the Wilmington Star quotea Judge Carter as having said to the grand jury of Ro* eson eownty that dur ing the past fwe years there had been a greater number of homicides and murders in Robeson county,, with its pop ulation of fifty thousand, than in the domiaion of Can ada, with its pop^alation of six million. “This statement is one that should cause pause and shows there is need of a cru sade to make people have a greater regard for human life. Somebody said not long ago that in parts of this country human life was the cheapest product. It ought to be the most precious and con served mOre than any other. The responsibility cannot be said to rest alone anywhere. The courts and juries are not responsible, but they could perhaps lessen it if the cen- victions for crime are more general and punishinent more certain. It is not that pun ishment should be severe, ■ but that i t should be certain. * * ^ Now, dear readers, what do 3^ou think of the above? More homicides and murders cc»nmit- ted in one county in North Caro lina in the past five years than the whole dominion of Canada. I have no apologies to make, for the Populist party are the p^im- is!s, except they were not as slick as the Democrats. But readers, what do you think of the court that is in power today? Think it over, and ask yourself the question: “Whither are we drifting?’' rU have more to say later. —Ex-Democrat. A Wcleome Ckuce t» Coming Burljtt®tojSr ^ v On Tuesday,. Dee, To Stay at Hotel Ward.

Just a few short years have passed by since we voters were told that “Crime stalked the earth like a pestilence,'” and that the crack of the pistol was more frequent than the song of the mocking bird. The pesimists were in power then, and we voten? of North Carolina were told then that the Kebuplic- ans were the cause of the fre quent crack of the pistol and ail the crime that was being com mitted. I was a Democrat in those days and like thGUR&Tid:v o-f otheis, believed it. Were the laws slack then? Ii they were, they are slacker now. Was hu man life cheap then'; If it was, it is cheaper now. How we sat on our “honkers” and shouted when Mr. Aycoek he was right. Every crime and homicide that was committed back In those days was .'charged up to the («s Joe Daniels would say) “dirty, incompetent ras- crIs ^ ^ - How is it today? The l)emo- crats have been in power for about thirteen years, and you cannot pick up a daily or Vi^eekly paper but whkt some dreadful crime has been committed. If the Republicans were to blame then, are not the Democrats to blame now? Everything hap pened in those days was charged up to the Republicans and Joe Daniels swore to it every morn ing in his News and Observer. Have you ever heard anything said about the wholesale crime that has been committed since the Democrats have been'in and is being committed at this very hour? Not one word. Josephus M. P.
