Expect and demand a square deal from the men you elect. This is the only safe way. Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Taft are trailing the presidential nom illation in more filth and mire of personal partizan politics than ever before in this govern ments history. It is by no means customary for a candidate for the presidency of the United to get out on the stump and appeal to delegates to se cure his nomination by personal abuse and derogation. It makfe a cheap John affair of the thing, it is undignified, and unworthy of a man who aspires to this the greatest office in the gift of any people on earth. Why not as the crown of the Roman Emporer was once done, put up this simbol .of sovereignty and sell it to the highest bidder in the public market. Titanic. “And now I lay me down to sleep; Roll on, ye waters, toss and foam! Beneath thy surging, seething deep I find my home. “I pray The, Lord, my soul to keep; . Dash on wild sea, thy work is done! Upen this frame thy sands will heap- From sun to sun. • “If I should die before I wake!’ Break, oh break, for thy toil is won! My soul shall soon no longer quake. My journey’s run. “I pray, Thee, Lord my soul to take;* And now, Most High, our wives and sons And daughters spare, for Jesus’ sake — Thy will be done.” And men stood bowed in solemn grief. Nor sought their precious ones agam. But meekly asked for quick relief And angels, watching, said “amen!” —W. Brandford Williams, of Haddon- fielk, N. J., in Philadelphia Record. WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW That is exactly what we want to know, is what men stand for, especially those who expect to go to Raleigh to represent pub lic sentiment. North Carolina should not have the disgraceful spectacle of a flock of “me too^s* going up there as they did two years ago with their mouths open waiting for orders for special interest. How shall I protect the Standard Oil company in a small license tax to do busi ness over the State? How shall I make it possible for insurance companies to take any size policy on property, receive premiums for years and then should it burn determine its value by allowing one of “their*' adjus- tice to examine the ashes? Keep our selves unspoted from the world, by allowing the lobbyist to approach us as early and often its suits the interest of the concerns he represents. OSCAR W. UNDERWOOD. Trusted, Reliable and Sagacious Leader to Whom the Nation Turns. To Bouthem men there are encourage ment and inspiration in the turning of the north and the west to the south for giiidance and leadership in these troublous times. If we stop to consid er a moment we realize that once the political outcasts of the nation we are now not only in our father’s house, but we sic at the head of the table in the councils of the family. The confidence in the soundness and ^ciency of southern leadership is not embraced only in the favor with which tbe candidacy of Oscar Underwood has been received in the north, bnt in re peated manifestation o^the confidence felt In the north and west that in the aouth the country would find undefiled the purest principles of a republican form of government, kept bright by constant care and practice- Montgom ery (Ala.)

Proud Editor Rebuked. (From The Hennessy, Okla , Clipper.) The following letter, with no signa ture attached, was found in The Clip per bag this morning. The writer is evidently laboring under the impres sion that he has been discriminated against in The Clipper’s columns. We i offer this party our since rest apology i and assure him that the omission of' news items is not intentional and that j we will publish any and all news that! is fit, provided it is sent in to the { office, as The Clipper has no favorites: j Mister etiter: I want to noe why hit is that you use so infernal much parL-h- ality in your little ole paper.

Hurrah for High Point’s good sense!—Greensboro News. Helps A Judge In Bad Fix. Justice Eli Cherry, of Gillis Mills, Tenn., was plainly worried. A bad sore on his leg had baffled several doctors and long resisted all remedies. “I thought it was a cancer,” he wrote. “At last I used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and was completely cured.” Cures burns, boils, ulcers, cuts, bruises and piles, 25 cents at Mebane Drug (Jo.

This pittance asked was a crime, because - for sooth it might have been contrary to a tenet of a party, and helped home people. It is made a worse crime because, Mr. Sim mons place in the Senate is wanted by a man who has onlv given to his country a lot of cheap talk in exchange for a Congress mans salary, Simmons has done things, he h^ secured more ap propriation in the agregate for his State than ever was secured before in its history. (Winston Journal.) We had an opportunity in Raleigh Sunday of seeing a copy of the “Laugh- You nih after the big bugsj inghouse letter,” which for obvious reasons has not been puMished--or if it has been published we do not know of it. It is unquestionably the most damnable piece of writing that has been done in a campaign* in North Carolina, and we cannot believe that Governor Kitchin had the slightest knowledge of it- While we sincerely hope to see Governor Kitchin defeated for the senate, yet we are not willing to believe that a governor of North Carolina would for a moment sanction such dastardly work-the work of a coward. HOLD THEM TOO AN AC COUNTING. Not in the history of political parties since the war have party lines been drawn so looselj^ Peo ple are scrutinizing more closely the men who are seeking their suffrage. It has at last been de termined that rings,cliques, and combination may force a candi date for an office upon the peo ple whose worthiness may only be measured by his desire for the place and its emoluments. The office holder has in many instances treated the people shamefully, violating with im punity all of his promises made prior to his election. It is full time that the com mon people were holding of ficials to a more riged account ing for the promise made prior tx) election. If an official fools you in the future turn him down and let him alone. If he is a trust buster before an election, and afterwards becomes a fav- Suffering From the Floods Approximately four thousand people have moved out of Pointe Coupes par ish to the refugee camps on the east side of the river. More than 1,200 of them are being cared for by the Baton Rouge Relief Depot. Thousands have moved out ot the territory flooded by the Alsatia crevasse. In the Vicksburg territory the* Uni ted States army relief depot has been feeding and furnishing supplies to ap proximately 91,000 homeless people, about half of whom came from the overflowed northeast Louisiana terri tory, the other half from the Missis sippi territory which was covered by the waters from the Beulah break in the east side levees. The Baton Rouge Federal relief de partment is furnishing supplies to ap proximately 30,000 others, most of whom are stationed in towns in the hilL section west of the Bayou des Glaises and Atchafalaya lowlands. Local relief cx>mmittees probably are caring for 10,000 other homeless folk.

It was made permissible for the voter to put in a ballot for a Roosevelt delegate and^t the same time a preference for the majority, the elected delegates at- large were Roosevelt men. This re sult was helped along by the intrusion of an extra name on the Taft ballots, leadinj; to the throwing out of Taft votes. There'is like confusion in the primary choice of the Democrats. While Governor Foss getn a vote of preference as a presidential candidate, Speaker Clark has a majority of delt- I gates elected. ‘MOST AVAILABLE MAN" MUST H AVE THE BEST We are determined to ^ive to Mebane, and vicinity the best and most up to date drug store facilit^s possible.

Strong In New York. “Long before I saw any mention of Oscar Underwood’s name as a possible candidate for the Democratic presiden tial nomination I had selected him as the most available man to lead the Democracy,” writes Albert B. ^err, son of the late James B, Kerr, M. C. “I am a Democrat, and I believe this to be a Democratic year,” he further adds. “There is no man in my judg- •ment who would prove so strong a candidate as Mr. Underwood. It is re freshing to Democratic partisans on I the side lines to have a leader of the demonstrated capacity of Mr. Under wood. The Democrats of New York expect to win, and Incidentally we shall take much pleasure in victory if it be over Colonel Roosevelt. I do not belong to the ‘Interests’ nor to ‘big business,’ so that my opposition to Mr. Roosevelt may be accounted for in some other way.”—Washington Post.

Jacksonville Times-Union. We would like to see government ofhcials paid adequate salaries but we regret to see money slipped to them. Congressmen get $7,500 a year. The position of national legislator requires the highest talent and we would not object to seeing the men who fill such positions receive such pay as men of the highest talent deserve. If all congressmen are not men of the highest talent it is th« fault of the people who I elect the other kind. Out of a popula tion of 200,000 some man of the highest order can be found and such a man should be elected. Since the people elect it ia fair to presume that men of this class are chosen. But we do not like this 20 cents a mile allowance for traveling expenses. Four cents a mile would cover all ex penses including berth in sleeper and meals' If the allowance is to be made also for the congressman’s secretary it should be allowed in his name. But putting the two together eight cents a ,mile would cover the expenses of both. If the delegates from the Phillippines pay their expenses and that of thei»‘ clerks they still clear about $2,500 a year on their mileage. This means the delegates from the Phillippines get about $2,500 a year more than some of the congressmen' from Maryland and Virginia. Why should they get $10,- 000 It year wheu representatives of constituencies bordering on the District of Columbia get only $7,500? The pay given the president is also slipped to him. His salary is nominally $75,000 a year while he really gots about one-third of a million. Of this $25,000 is allowed for traveling ex penses as an inducement for him to neglect his duties. We do not object to paying the president a third of a million or half a million a year. What we do object to is the pretense of paying him $75,000 while nearly $300,- 000 more is slipped to him. r I ETSEY ORGANS! GURPEKTLR ORGAKS!! WEAVER ORGANS !! PUTNAM ORGANS H!

Strong In That State, Thinks Hon. Robert W. Well*—Why He Ad- vooatM Underwood. Robert W. Wells of Prince Georges county, well known as a successful lawyer at the national capital and in the courts of tnis state and a former member of the Maryland legislature, spent yesterday at the Bennert. “As a Democrat,” said Mr. Wells, "I. am profoundly interested In the na tional campaign which Is now getting under way. I have nothing to say against Harmon, Clark or Wilson and will gladly support either of them in case of nomination. At the rame time it strikes me that the people of Mary land should not omit the great oppor tunity to promote the candidacy of the most available and strongest of all the aspirants on the Democratic side—the Hon. Oscar Underwood- Never before has such a glorious chance been pre sented and perhaps not .in generations to come will Maryland be given the portunity to Influence In such a large degree the nomination and election of a president of the United States. “Underwood stands for the south, the regenerated, reconstructed, progres sive south. To nominate and elect him will lead to the expenditure of untold millions of capital in that vast and pro ductive region of which Baltimore is the gateway and nattiral trade center. Here is a young man with no trace of sectionalism In his makeup. By reason of his saae course for eighteen years in congress, his devotion to tariff reform, his advocacy of the income tax and his high personal character he has won golden opinions from men of thought ful and patriotic bent. He Is not an agitator, and yet he is progressive. He is not reactionary, and yet he is con servative. “In short, he is a well rortnded, splen didly equipped man, and, possessing the confidence of the country as he does, I see no reason why his nomina* tlon should not place him In the White Bouse."—Baltimore American.
