OUR CAN0I04TES.
For President:
Theodore Roosevelt,
jor Vice President:
Hiram W. Johnson.
OUR PLATFORM:
The People Shall Rule.
OUR VvATCHWORD:
A Square Deal'!to1Every Man,
The h'^iag' will
day September 16th in Gi^ns-
boro, to determine if the order
shall be granted. If it is grant
ed it will ruin entirely the contest
now 80 successfully on, and will
also destroy the company, which
is now on the most .satisfactory
basis since its organization, with
a large increase of subscribers
since its change from Taft to
Roosevelt, and the subscribers
lost by its former policy l«tve
been regained.
This is written in order that our
readers may know and 'under
stand in part the tactics used by
the Taft machine operated by our
distinguished political leader J.
Zeb Waller, to carry its point.
V^e would be glad to see all our
contestants this week in regsird
this important matter, with any
friends who are interested ;in the
political and financial success of
the paper.
And Maine too?
Maine said No, to Woodrow.
Woodrov/'s local option does
not appeal to Maine.
Remember Maine, she is doing
it too. To Woodrow.
If it's true that Woodrow has
only $175,000 for campaign ex
penses, the campaign is near the
end.
The “Invisible Government
Col. Roosevelt used the following
language in his Chicago speech:
'The first essential is the right
of the people to rule. The people
rale now in Fourth of July
speeches,”
On the eve before the election
Governor Plaistead of Maine
predicted he would be re-elected
by a majority of fifteen thousand.
But when the people voted they
said, no. Let the people rule.
The Waller lajuactiaa.
Sunday’s Nows and Observer
carried one and a half columns on
the now pending petition for an
injunction vs The State Dispatch
Publishing Co. and individual
stockholders. The article said
that John R, Hoffman, the edi
tor has been whooping up Taft
and Sherman since the Chicago
Convention. The facts are the
reverse. John R. Hoffman
whooped them up for Taft and
Sherman until the Chicago Steal,
but let it be understood here and
now, never since that time.
This article seems very confi
dent of the complainants claims
and the reporters hope is that the
Dispatch may be restrained.
Raihoad.
The impression has gone
abroad that we a?e getting pay
for every little note we make of
the proposed Railway Bond issue,
and that all the speakers who
have spoke in its behalf are paid.
We wish to state here and now
that it is an entirely false im
pression. We are doing what
every tiue citizen of Alamance
County should do—investigate
befoie they condemn.
Many have told us that they
are against the bond issue. When
we alk why, they answer: It will
be build to Roxboro instead to.a
point in Chatham county and
there connect with the Seaboard
Airline or Norfolk-Southern Rail
road.
The only thing to do, if you are
honest with yourself, is to read
the contract between Railroad
Company and the Greensboro
Loan & Trust Co.
If you have the false idea that
this railroad will be built any
way, if the bonds are not voted,
we say renew the thought, for
never again^ never again will you
have another opportunity to get
a competing carrier if this is lost.
If you want a railroad, vot^
for bonds, If not, vote against
bonds.
The Third Term issue, Colliers
Weekly speaks clear and to the
point in the following terms:
On January 7, 1905, we pub
lished an article about Mr. Roose
velt in which we said:
He is committed to retirement
in 1908. Bowing with manly
taste to a disputable convention,
he avoids a seeming lack of loy
alty to the people. On 1912 are
no such fetters. To be nominated
in 1908 he might rely on politi
cians. To be recalled in 1912 or
any time in tv\ o decades would
mean that the peopleihad spoken,
and only they. And] that glory
is the possible reward Jof brave
and powerfulfleadership.
Colonel Roosevelt^s'a candidate
in response to aSstrong demand
from a Iarg#^^numberjof people.
Any help which 5he| might have
had from the control of political
machinery if he had been a Candi
da! e four years ago he lacks now.
We think little of the third term
argument at best and nothing at
all of it in the present circum
stances.
Tlie complaint for an injunction
against The State Dispatch Pub.
Co., riled by J. Zeb Waller needs
our attention for a minute. The
facts are these and not other
wise. A majority of the stock
bought and paid for is now own
ed by people holding different
political views from the said
W^aller, and that majority of
stock did what the majority of
stockholders of any corporation
have a right to do that is change
the plan of the corporation. In
fact the edit^al committee had
the right to change the policy of
the paper. But that the people
might rule it was left to a stock
holders meeting. ^Of course the
said Waller was ^posed to every
thing done, N tov that is his way
‘‘jrale or ruin*'
Control Of Ohio.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 5.—The
Progressive party today began its
active fight for the control of Ohio
President Taft's Ebme State.
In State convention here, the
platform, modelled on the Nat
ional Progressive platform was
adopted, full State ticket was
nominated and Governor Johnson
of California, Progogressive
candidate for the vice presidency
characterized the President as
“the most humiliating charade
in American history."
Arthur L. Garford of Elyra,
was named for Governor. Mr.
Garford was a candidate for that
lor that office in the Republican
State convention but was de
feated.

Mr. Editor; '
Well the people of Alamance at
this-important time awake to the
neatest possibility that ever
came to them in the way of invest
ment.
Investment imeans success or
failure everybody wants to be
successful but all are not. simply
because we do not invest mth
good judgement or do not invest
at all. Many nations are poor
simply because they do hot invest
at ail, take china for an example
they are afraid to do anything and
the result is they are slaves the
people there are used as we use
oxen here the poor women pull
great l(»ids of lumber for build
ing purposes think of it de^men
if our women had to be used as
it were beast of burden it would
make us commit suicide think
again if you had great corns or
bullions ion your bare shoulders
caused by carrying great loads of
freight on them and passengers.
If you were in china to-day and
wished to make a short trip you
would mount a chriaman back
how would you like to be a citizen
of china. Now dear people these
are f tcrs.
The question might be asked
what is the cause of this condition
some might say that the great
number of people was th^ cause.
But it is not the reason, the cause
of all this they fail to in vest. The
first railroad that was ever built
in china was torn up by the peo
ple. They were afraid it would
affect their trade of carrying
people on their back and stop
their women from being used in
the place of oxen or beast of bur
den. Now take England or Great
Britian for example they invest
and make the people prosperous.
They have become so greiat that
the sun never classes to shine on
her territory. She has the great
est transportation facilities of any
nation in the world. The one
thing has caused all of her great
riches. Now less get a Kttle
near home. What niakes the
north so much richer than the
south simply because she makes
great and wi^e investments to
the people that have never been
north just get the map of the
United States and see the great
work of railroads in the northern
states now surpose we look
around home just a moment com
pare Caswell, County with Dur
ham, County.
Caswell, County lias less people
than she did thirty years ago and
they are still leaving as fast as
opportunity will permit simply
because she has no railroad
-conenienceses while Durham, Co
has a net work of railroads she
has more rich men than any co
unty in the state.
Now dear readers and voters
of Alamance, County after con-
dering all these things less get
dow to business and vote the rail
road bonds which vdll be the
greatest investment, we ever
made for Alamance, County let
the big tax payer come in and
help swell our population build
our roads educate our children
build great markets in our midst
cause our capitol to stay with us
and other to come in freely make
what we buy cheaper and what
we sell nigher think of our invest
ment one hundred thousand dol
lars and getting in return milions
Let every voter consider his duty
in this matter w'hat he owes to
God his county and himself.
J, F. 0. Terrell.
We have organizations for th6
suppression of the liquor traffic,
the white slave trade and Other
evils, but have we one agency at
work for the suppression of
s(^ndal and gossip!
One of liie basest attributes of
human iiature is that of looking^
for evil in people. It would be
much wises and more Christian
like to look for the good qualities
in a person and help to strengthen
them. If it is true that whatJ we
see in other people is only a
reflection of ourselijes, some of
us are most evil-minded.
Strange to say, that scandal
and gossip when traced to its
source is found in most cases, to
have originated with people who
call themselves Christians and
often times if it were ferreted
out, would be found to resenible
our ghost stories, in that whe
one had the courage to go to the
bpttom of the matter, there was
nothing of it simply the outcome
of a diseased imagination.
There isenough real evil in the
world without trying to bring
more in by force.
It can never be estimated how
many lives have been wrecked
by the tongue ‘ ‘Out of the abun
dance of the heart the mouth
speaketh" I'jealously, envy, mal
ice, prejudice and suspicion are,
in many cases, the foundation of
gossip, and too'some people take
that method of giving sent to the
evil tint is within them.
Real vice we leave to the wick
ed to indulge in, but gossip is
only a phase of vice in which the
majority of us revel. By such
measures wedvvari the souls and
minds of our young people. We
place too much emphasis on evil
and not enough on good, thus
producing negative thoughts and
crowding out the positive ones;
hence are imfavorable environ
ment and unwholesome atmoiS-
phere in which soul and intellect
starve for the lack of proper
nourishment.
‘ ‘Boys flying kitesliaul in their
whitewinged birds
But you can’t do that way
when you are) flying words."

Roosevelt in West.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 9.—
Governor Wilson’s criticism of
the Progressive minimum wage
plank was characterized by Col.
Roosevelt in a speach here today
as “purely acemic.” Col. Roos
evelt said he believed Gov. Wil
son was sincere but misled by
ideas laid down by political eco
nomists. . ,
“We do not at the moment
take up the question of a mini
mum wage geaerallv,” Colonel
Roosevelt said. “We know that
in all matters like this it is nec
essary to proceed slowly. We
have studied the conditions
among girls and women in indus
try and know the suffering, mis
ery, crime and yice that are pro
duced by an incoqie that is insuf
ficient to enable a girl or woman
to keep body and soul together
in surroundings of ordinary de
cency.
“I believe that Mr. Wilson,
whose sincerity of conviction I
do not question, has been misled
by the ideas he has gotton from
laws laid down by political eco
nomists who wrote when condi
tions were utterly different.”

UPS, BURNS TO DEATH UNDER
AN AUTO.
Ihe Rev. H. Grefe, pastor of
the Lutheran church in German
town, la., early today burned to
death before the eyes of his child
ren several other persons while

The cries of the children brought
persohs in the neighborhood to
the rescue. One had a lantern.
Gasoline from the oil tank had'
spread to the wreck. The man
holding the lantern dropped it.
Instantly the wreck was in flame.
The rescuers made frantic ef
forts to aid the clergyman,
several persons suffering severe
bums toying to raise the burning
machine from his body. The
Rev. Mr. Grefe met death wi^
a prayer on his lips.
