HOW COME IT AIN'T SOi
It is noted in the Greensboro News
(Ind.) that the Lincoln Times (Rep.)
thus expresses itself concerning Dem
ocratic editors for their remarks concerning-
the individual who seemed to
run the v Republican State convention
at Raleigh: "To falsely give Butler a
controlling power in the management
of the present Republican campaign is
nothing more than a wilful, deliberate
lie."
Nevertheless, notwithstanding, a
whole lot of . Republicans are afraid
that it's the truth. Of course, Butler
may not be manipulating the Republi
can party during "this campaign," for
he may have decided to quit after hav
ing made a fine showing" for himself in
dominating the State convention. How
ever, most Democratic and Republican
editors ought to have been able to ob
serve for themselves which politician
was master of , ceremonies at the Ra
leigh convention. At that time and on
that occasion he had the goods on him
in the shape of Colonel Duncan's scalp.
Since then he has not taken the trouble
to try to prove an alibi. ,
The highly esteemed Lincolnton pub
lication must think it is awful for the
Republican campaign to be suspected
of being controlled by the Hon. Butler.
Can't the Republicans even tolerate
the idea of Mr. Butler's dominancy or
alleged control of the Republican party
in North Carolina? What did he ever
da to it that even allegations of his
undue influence in party manipulation
should be resented as a lie just a
dadburned lie? If Mr. Butler is sensi
tive he 'will take it to heart that Re
publicans go. out of their way to get
indignant at the idea of his being the
whole cheese, or at least enough of the
cheese to put Colonel Duncan out of
the shack. If Butler didn't do it, then
it was the Republicans who did it, but
Colonel Duncan knows, for he was
right there when his party dominancy
had something done to it.
We would like to know who is the
dominant figure in the G. O. P. in this
State, if it isn't Mr. Butler. No doubt
the Republicans also would like to
know the name of the gentleman. The
Lincoln Times considers that it . is a
prevarication to say that Butler is the
man, so The Times must know the
truth as to who is the chief mogul at
this time. The. Times resents the mere
idea that it is Butler, so that paper
ought to tell us who is the regular
works.
Well, we don't blame certain Repub
licans of the minority faction for turn
ing red in the face when Butler's name
is mentioned as the dominant figure in
the Republican party in North Caro
lina. That touches their sore spot.
Butler dominancy is a bitter pill for
them to swallow. Ever since the Ra
leigh convention, there have been ef
forts by first one Republican and then
another to deny that Butler has the
power and influence in the party coun
cils In this State that " have been ac
credited to him. If Butler Is worthv
of the place of leadership and it is ah
honor to have him at the head of the
party in North Carolina, why don't
they point to him with pride? Why do
they get sore when Democratic papers
mention him as the dominant figure in
the party?
Whether Butler is in control of the
party or not, there is one great big
incontrovertible fact that cannot be
wiped off the slate. When the party
held its convention at Raleigh, there
was a vigorous contest btvn -ra
tional Committeeman Duncan and But
ler and the convention did what Butler
demanded or asked of it and "sat down
on" Duncan. That looks liTre ilnmin.
cy, any way you figure it.
THE
GOVERNMENT AND
MONEY IT HANDLES
THE
The chief American desire is to get
some sort of help from the govern
ment. ir the government yields to
their desires, all it can do is to help
them out of the pockets of the people.
xne government has no earthly way
of getting its wad except to get it out
of the people, so when the
tows its favor upon anv interest th-
people ought to Jcnow who really foots
the bill.
Nevertheless, the people complain of
their burdens without seeming to know
the cause of them and go right on fav
oring government aid for nearly every
interest that is pressing the govern
ment for just the amount, of graft they
would like to have to help out their
individual enterprise. The people have
no right to complain of their increas
ing Duraens when they deliberately
vote for a system that they should
know must be sustained solely at their
expense. It has always struck us thai
the people would vote with more in
telligence and caution if they could
once understand that everything got
ten out of the government is gotten out
of the people by the government.
A - J. -
aii tne expense or conducting the
government and all the aid, subven
tions, subsidies and favors granted by
the government are paid by the peo
ple. There is ho wonder that they
feel a burden and cannot exactly un
derstand the cause of it, bntytheir only
remedy lies in their own hands. It . Is
the ballot they can cast for the sort
or men wno can be trusted for
economical government instead of ex
travagant government and costly
schemes of paternalistic character. How
many people will vote for a ' candl
date with the wildest kind of ideas
about what great things the govern
ment -should do for this or that in
terest?
If he should explain :that it will all
come right out of the "; pockets of the
taxpayers of America, they would
then lenowingly vote a burden on them
selves when-they Vote for him and the
system of political economy; that he Is
advocating. He will tell them that it
is a rich government that foots all the
bills and helps tout; all the i interests.-. He
shoud tell, them that It is the masses
of the Nation who have to furnish that
so-caled rich government every, cent
that.it is worth. Every deficit in the
treasury shows that the government
lacks that much money in. Its strong
box to meet the needs of the govern
ment and that the shortage will re
main till the money is gotten out of
the people by some sort of tax in or
der to wipe out the deficit.
When there, is a deficit in the treas
ury of our "rich" government take
notice of the steps taken by either a
Democratic or a Republican Congress
to meet the situation. Why, it passes
revenue bill, which . isn't anything
but a bill to get taxes of some descrip
tion or other out of the pockets, of
the people. The government never
would have any money if it did not get
t out of the people. Neither can it aid
any interest or cause without taxing
the masses in order to- enable it to
carry Nout its system of paternalism or
benevolence or extravagance whatever
game is being played at the expense
of the people
It navs the nconle to-aytaxes for
their own benefit, but it paysspec!al
interests more when ', trie people-pay
taxes for the benefit of those govern-
mentraided .interests. - . Some will con
strue this as a hit at the sacred " doc
trine of protection, but it Is a hit at
useless government aid to further -enrich
Interests "that are already enor
mously rich and do not have to hand
around the hat for more from 'the
people. Helpless, worthy industries
ought to get all the help, but care, and
wisdom- ought to be exercised to make
sure that the public interests are
served by doing so. .
FEDERAL INSPECTION Vtr
IN WILMINGTON.
There seems ' to be some misunder
standing as to the effect of the Federal
inspection of meats in Wilmington on
and after May 1st, in accordance with
action of the Board of. Health in its
meeting a few weeks ago. The new
regulation will not affect the local
meat supply in any particular except
that there will vbe Federal inspection
in lieu of or in connection with local
inspection. There will be increased
efficiency and effective inspection and
that is all.
For five years Wilmington has had
local inspection of all local meats of
fered for sale in this city. Farmers
have killed hogs and beeves ana
brought them to market subject to the
approval of the local inspectors. Here
after they will go right on killing and
marketing their meat animals as here
tofore, except that Federal meat in
spection will take the place of local
inspection. There will be no more
difficulty for country killers than here
tofore. Meats offered for sale in the
city by farmers, who supply only one-
tenth of the fresh meat demands of the
city, will be subject to Federal in
spection instead of local inspection.
The rules of inspection are Just the
same, so that the country marketers of
fresh meats are in; no wise affected.
There is no charge for inspection,
and the only advantage in Federal in
spection, is the possibility ; of 'better
protection far local consumers. That
is all there is to it. Nine-tenths of all
the fresh meats now sold in Wilming
ton and all of It shipped away from
Wilmington are subject to Federal in
spection. The other one-tenth, mar
keted locally, will be subject to Fed
eral instead of local inspection. It
will not affect any meat interest In
Wilmington, but simply feeds all out
of the same spoon.
The consumers of meats are . the
only .people whose interests are con
cerned and it is all the better for them.
Handlers of marketable meats, wheth
er they are sent here from Chicago or
Pender county, have nothing to fear.
ROOSEVELT STOCK IS RISING.
It is believed in well Informed politi
cal circles at Washington that when.
the Progressive party national conven
tion meets in Chicago it will unani
mously nominate Col. Theodore Roose
velt for President, and that' the Re
publican national convention will eith
er endorse his, nomination or nominate
a candidate 'of fits own. The Republi
cans are at sea for a nominee, but sentiment-recently
has been rapidly c6n-
centrating on ? Associate Justice
Hughes. It is said that Roosevelt is
unfavorable to Hughes because he: is
too much like Wilson and that it is
Hughes sentiment that has determined
Roosevelt to become a factor in the
fight. '
The Progressives, it is said, are de
termlned on nominating Roosevelt,
and the indications, are that the Cojo-
nel will accept rather thaiT see the
Republicans name Justice Hugnes.
The rumor is rife in Washington that
Roosevelt is a recefitive candidate and
that things are working around - his
way. Roosevelt, it is agreed, is ;the
exact opposite of Wilson, and he will
support no Republican nominee who.
does not represent his' opposition, jjfle
would not hear to the nomination at
Taft, and, "of course, the Rough Rider
could never support, such an even go

FOOD AND FE
It takes the average dyspeptic or In
digestion victim from one to five years
to learn that so-called "digestive tab
lets," pepsin, and other alleged aids to
digestion are utterly worthless, so. far
as curing the dyspepsia is concerned.
Then perhaps it takes him another
year or two to find out that "starches"
and "sweets" are not necessarily the
only foods which will ferment in the
stomach or bowel.
If something critical doesn't happen
in all this time, say a frank appendi
citis or an attack of - honest-to-good-ness
gallstone colic or something else
which establishes the real nature of
the "stomach trouble" at last, the poor
sufferer may ultimately discover a
"diet" upon' which he can get along
with a fair degree of comfort. . The
diet may be ever so scientific and rigid
in its limitations, but it always has
this characteristic: It doesn't over
feed the individual quite so much as
his customary bill of fare.
The fact is that most of the fulness,
distension flatulency, fermentation,
gas, bloating and embarrassment of
the heart which dyspeptics suffer Is
caused by over-eating. If morefood is
consumed than the stomach and intes
tine can assimilate, the excess remains
unabsorbed, and of course undergoes
bacterial fermentation, with the pro
duction of various by-products, such
as gas, organic acids and toxic pto
maines. There are various conventional
modes of treating such a condition.
First, the use of digestive ferments
which is generally a disappointment.
Second, the use of intestinal disinfec
tants which are supposed to prevent
fermentation, but don't; for the rea
son that anything strong enough to
prevent bacterial , fermentation will
likewise prevent digestion, and as a
practical fact no agent has yet been
(Protected by The Adams
following historic view of the Repub
lican party:
"The fact that Mr. Roosevelt left the
party in 1912 will not deter men who
have as their controlling- political prin
ciple the desire to' catch votes at any
cost. This has been a policy of the
Republican party since the" birth of the
government. There is no record in his
tory of the Democratic party taking a
candidates from among its opponents
if one except the case of Greely in
1S72 but the Republican party in tak
ing Adams in 1828, in taking 'Clay in
1832, in taking Tyler as vice president
in 1848, in taking Johnson in 1864, and
Grant in 1868, did just this thing. Any
thing to win has been their motto from
the beginning, and any method which
promised success has been adopted. At
the present time the Republican party
has no other spectacular candidate, at
least not one who could create a hoo
rah or any sort of enthusiasm from
its . voters except one. Roosevelt, and
Roosevelt only, is their natural candi
datewill be their real candidate, and,
in spite of anything the. Republicans
may say or desire, they will nominate
him and cannot help themselves."
We are satisfied that the trend Is to
wards Colonel Roosevelt. It Is not
only so in many states, but it is cer
tain that Roosevelt sentiment domi
nates Republicans - in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Progressives will
hold a rally In Greensboro tomorrow,
and it is said that they have no idea
of abandoning the ColoneL They are
in favor 'of harmonizing the differ
ences with the Republicans, but only
on the ground that the whole North
Carolina push will go to Chicago to
support Roosevelt for the nomination.
Otherwise they do not propose to affil

lina. .

WAR ISSUES OF CURRENCY.

. Many now living remember the paper
currency the so-called "shinplasters"
of the Civil War, an expedient resort
ed to by the government to facilitate
business and replace the metallic small
change hoarded by the people and thus
withdrawn from circulation. . Before
this currency was authorized some bus
iness firms circulated ''tokens' of their
own making, and postage stamps, soiled
by much handling, helped buyer and
seller to strike a - balance over small
transactions.-
Any nation in which monetary dis
turbances occasioned by war exist suf

last October, an issue of 100,600,000
five pfennig pieces, to be withdrawn
