A GREAT SPEECH
After three years of persistent dril-
lirg for oil in Allen county, the pat
ient labor of the operators was »e-
warded a few days ago by a sudden
outburst of oil from a well 130 feet
deep. The owners of the well had not
figured on tapping a gusher and when
the oil began to spout at the rate of
150 barrels a day they were rather
poorly prepared to take care of it.
They immediately proceeded to buy
up all the barrels in the country and
and rush them to the scene, but the
barrel supply soon gave out and the
flow of oil continued. When there
were no more barrels to put it in it
w IS permitted to run into a creek near
the well while some of the dnllers left
for the oil fields of Illinois to secure
a supply of tanks and others began
trying to plug up the well.

Commendation
Simmons.
For
As we look at the matter. Senator
Simmons and his lieutenants should
*.ome in for commendation for the
conservative course which they have
adopted for the campaign. While
Governor Kitchin is going up and down
the State wildly attacking what has
become known as Simmons’ record,
Simmons has refrained from compli
menting Kitchin’s twelve years’ lecord
as a Congressman, or his pardoning
record as a Governor. By this course.
Senator Simmons insures, so far as he
is concerned, a canvass pitched upon a
high plane, a campaign incomparably
more decent that the gubernatorial
campaign four years ago, when Kitchins
record was aired up and down the State
by Craig. Again we say, Simmons
course should be applauded. Kitchin
is certainly making no votes by the
course he is pursuing, for the people
know that Simmons record is one of
accomplishments—a record of results
secured. The more it is talked about
the better it is understood and
better understanding is all to Simmons
good.—Charlotte Observer.

Simmons Arraignment of
Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law
Senator Simmons made one of th6
best speeches of his careeer last Thui*s-
day in the Senate when the wool hill
was presented to the senate for passage
and received the hearty felicitations of
his colleagues upon the concise and able
manner in which he presented the Dem
ocratic side of the question. The plat
forms of both parties in 1908, he said,
promised an honest revision of the
tariff. This followed a demand from
the people for relief from the oppression
caused by the excessive duties of the
existing tariff act.
“Under the shelter of the tariff the
necessi iesof life were monr^>olized and
placed beyond the reach of some
classes,” said Mr. Simmons. “The
cost of living has been materially
increased, and many articles can not
be purchased by working men, clerks,
and others of limits means. The
people had a right to expect promises
would be kept and the burden lessened.
In this they were disappointed. There
was indeed a revision, but one that
afforded no relief. The slight changes
did not tend to remove the burden
borne by the consumer. No change
whatever was made in the wool schedule
although it was notoriously the most
objectionable and excessive in the land.
Republican leaders in the senate declared
the revision was a mere sham and the
people would never forgive the party
for betraying them. No appeals were
heard except from the beneficiaries of
protection. The Presidedt and the
leaders had to choose between the peo
ple and the interests, and they selected
the beneficiaries of protection.
“A storm ot disapproval and condem-
I nation swept the country after sham
revision was accomplished. It was
shared by a large element in the
Republican as well at the Democratic
party It was the beginning of that
division in the Republican party which
culminated in Chicago and has given
the country for the first time in years
a third great political party.”
Mr. Simmons reviewed the action of
a democratic house recognizing the
mandate of the peoj le and beginning
tariff revision on sound and reasonable
lines. The woolen industry, he chained,
though receiving tarifT favors were
paying the lowest wages of any industry
in tne country, and that in certain
sections they have practically ceased to
employ Americans in their factories
and were recruiting their labor from
the backward countries ef Europe.
This industry, he said, while paying
low wages and employing pauper
labors from southern and eastern
Europe instead of our own, whenever
a suggestion of reducing their 90 per
cent protection was made, swarmed
around the capitol, demanding: a
continuance of these excessive and
outrageous rates in (che name of pro
tection for American labor, and declar
ing that if these dutip.8 were reduced,
they would be forced to go out of busi
ness or reduce the wages of their em
ployes.
His indictment of the wool schedule
of the Payne-Aldrich bill was terrific
and scathing. He showed that the
general average tariff on woolens was
over 90 per cent and that 27 articles
in this schedule were protected by
duties of over 100 per cent.

Governor Kitchin now seems to be
very much wrought up lest men who
are not Democrats vote in the senato
rial primary this fall. The Henld also
thinks only straight Democrats—those
who vote the ticket from snout to tail
—should be allowed to vote in that pri
mary, but “how come” the governor
such a stickler for party regularity ail
of a sudden? Only as far back as 1909
he was upholding the hands of the
bolters and political soreheads in
Rockingham who deliberately defeated
the late Reuben Reid for the state
senate, and appointed one of them to
an office oyer the protest of Serator
Reid and his wing of the party—the
wing that always votes the straight
this ticket and in season and out fights to
keep the party true to its principles—in
regard to trusts as well as other
matters. Governor Kitchin toqjc
pleasure in serving and tieing up with
that crowd then; he shouldn’t be so
“straight” and sanctimonious now.

Evil Days for South Car
olina*
New York Herald.
Men high in the public service have
been impeached and convicted for les
ser crimes tnan those charged to Gov.
Cole L. Blease of South Carolina, and
if the Palmetto State would purge
herself of the stigma which this blat
ant chief executive has brought upon
her she will Have to investigate Blease
very thoroughly. Ignorant and vic
ious, could be elected governor of anv
State.
These be evil days for South Caro
lina. They have stopped electing their
best men to office down there. Once,
and not so long ago, the high type of
the State’s public men was the boast
of her citizens But the old stock is
still there and doubtless yet will re
assert itself.
Blease is a thorn in the side of
South Carolina. He threatens to be
come a candidate for the United States
senate, and declares that he will be
elected should the State refuse to give
him another terra of governor. We
sympathize with South Carolina.
