WITH THE POiaTICAL ORPHANS. V A mournful view of the North Caroline, Republican party's wrecked hopes Is given by The Dobson News. President Taft played havoc when he declared, in effect, that the Republl ' j can party, or at any rate the Repub ' lioaa party of the eastern district, which contains honored ex-judges, has "I .no man fitted "for the lowest posi tion tn the Federal Judiciary system, - United States commissioners and con $ sular courts alone exoepled." It is ; declared that "no well-Informed matt 'can consider a district Federal Judge 'ttlp, even with its larger salary and . life-time tenure, a place of one-half as much concern, er affecting In any- j thing like an equal manner the lives. i liberties, rights and property of our aeepla, as the position of a Superior romrt luare of our State courts." To ward President Taft "the attitude ef J North CareUna nepublioans Is that of sorrew, of regret Instead of resent ' menL" Desire to queatlon Judge Connor's fine qualities Is expressly dis ' claimed. Nearly four compact col umns are filled with these lamenta tions. The deep and rankling grievance of North Carolina Republicans as a body arise In equal parts from the disgrace and the blight administered i to party prospeoU thereby. Says The Debeon News: "The patheko feature of the whole matter is its effect on the growth and de velopaysnt of the Republican party In Nona Carolina. The people of the State . have grown tired of the blinded and bigoted rule of the Democratic party, which baa maintained Itself in office and power, not by merit, but by pandering to ' passion and appealing to prejudice. In the Republican political horlson of North K Carolina the Star of Hope had risen and . the Bow of Promise sent forth Its Imuiia ' of radiance. Success was coming In fact was In sight. In the last campaign ws i redeemed three congressional districts, where we had not one before. Our people were hopeful and enthusiastic, our op ponent gloomy and despondent. 1'nable to defend the record of their party on its merits, they were compelled to con duet a campaign, based upon the unfit ness of our party to assume the govern ment of the Wate. "And what man Is there among us, who of all our brtluaat politicians and campaigners, cn answer the argument of our Republican President, the head of ' our party In Is nation? When the campaign comes this will be the slogan of Democracy and none other than a RepMioan President will have furnish -I ad It with a watch word and battle cry to cheer It on to vlotory. and be usl as a requiem, or funeral hymn, at the graveside of our butchered prospects. It Is bad enough, it is exasperating enough. i to have had the Democratic, party charge I ' tn the bitterness of campaigns that In the I eastern part or the Mate, the Krpuhii v esn party did not have a following cap i able of flllrng even the Federal offices. ' but te have a Republican President And that charge as a fart, Is a condition which ought to make every patriotic) Republican In the State hang his head In shame and sorrow, if he believes It, or bring to his face the red blood of right eous Indignation If be disbelieve It." - v -.- ' This Republican organ also has a story to tell. "Whether the story is , true or not." we read, "the means of knowing are not now at hand, but one thing Is certain and that Is, It Is cur- ' rentjy accepted aa so and generally believed in North Carolina Republl jcan political circles. and those against whom It Is alleged owe It to "'. themselves. If It be untrue to deny It at once, and if true to resign any ' official connection they may have w ith the .party they have o basely betray 1 ed and to whose doors they have ' brought so much Ignominy." In sub stance this allegation Is that certain 'Republican politicians, tlndin the ' contest narrowed down to Judge . Connor and District Attorney Harry Skinner, accepted at President Taft's hands a Democrat rather than a Republican fartionally objectionable. yThiS comment by The Dobson News lg undoubtedly representative of how the Republican rank anil fllo feel, and I ' It ; therefore deserxes some attention.!

The deep ; discredit Inflicted by a Judge ship appointment made undtV such rlrcumatances as Judge Connor's may yet be lived down. In some respects North Carol na Republicanism is a curious and - interesting subject for the student of contemporary politics." 'AJmcia TOURIST, Xb Florid legislature, baa been Wrestlfna; for Se time with the cpi tlon which are1 of greater benefit to the State, hoga or tourist. The House f Representatives settled the qnes-J screes the Bouti, Carolina line, a tloa tor aai it ! concerned in favor South. Carolina near-poet is pushed Of fhe?hog; and the Sepate Is now forward by The Columbia State for trying to make up 1U mind on the purposes of comparison. When Preal. subject. (dent-elect Taft visited Charleston last The contest has arisen through the j fall the occasion inspired this lyri Introdnct Inn ef a hill In the House al- Leal outcry: lowing alligators t be killed along the Ocklaweha river. Heretofore, the aaurlans have had the protection of the law. They were allowed to live for the amusement of the winter tour ists. It was against the law to kill them. Alligators are very fond of hog meat They prefer It to any oth er food, the pup and the pickaninny not excepted. The consequence Is this fostering of the alligator has j tended to Interfere with pork raising by the natives. But there were some who claimed that the winter visitors from the North were a better stock In trade for the native than their hogs; that more money could be made off them and that as the alligator was one of the chief attractions to that class, the natives would lose more by destroying this attraction than they would gain through saving the pork ers from their ever rapacious ene mies. The trouble is. the hog raiser and the man who makes his living off the tourists is not one ami the same per son. In fact the followers of these two railings down in Florida form two dlstimt vlanscs, and hence this con test. It m between the hog raiser and the 'tourist toucher." The alliga tor must be exterminated and the consequent profits of the "tourist tou h.-r" wiped out or hog raising as a means of food supply for the other c laxs must be abandoned. As we have said, the hog raiser won out in the House and the battle is waging fiercely In the Senate. It Is hog against tourist, with the first round In favor of the former, whlhf the alligator continues to take llf t asy. enjoying his sun and mud bath on the banks of the river, unconscious of tne atate-wlde contest over the question of continuance of his life of raM or his extermination which has N,, gtorm centre at the capital. THE COUNTRY'S FIRE WASTE. The president of the National Board of Underwriters has recently Issued his annual report. There Is one sub ject discussed In that report to which we wish to call special attention. It is that of the fire waste In this coun try. The report shows that the or dinary annual loss by fire amounts to two hundred million dollars, and this does not Include exceptional and largely preventable fires, such as that In San Fram-lsco. For the first three months of the present year the loss reached fifty-three million dollars considerably over half a million a day. These figures far exceed those of the countries of Europe, though It Is our boast that our larger cities are equip ped with much more efficient fire de partments than are those of the Old Country. It must be remembered that the value of property destroyed does not represent the entire fire loss. In ad dition to the Immense destruction of buildings and their contents there must be added the interruption to traffic, the auspenslon of business and the steppage of wages, all of which. added to the actual loss by fire, will greatly Increase the figures above given. While the fire waste question has In recent years attracted the attention of Insurance experts and legislators, and they have tried to remedy the ex latlng evil, and have done so to a great extent, the heavy losses which continue show that there is still much to be done In the way or checking the waste of property by fire. That there Is still such great loss shows there Is some defeat somewhere whether In the manner of construc tion of buildings, carelessness of the occupants of the buildings or defect in the laws enacted for the protection of Insurance companies and property owners, we are not prepared to say. Those are questions which should be studied by Insurance experts and by our legislators. That a lamentanlo condition exists cannot he denied, and It is equally certain that there Is a remedy somewhere, of some kind for that evil. The thing to le done is to find It and to put it in fori-o. The person who solves the problem, points the way to checking the heavy drain on the country's weaJth by trie Im mense fire waste will Indeed be a pub lic benefactor. The Charleston News and Courier declares that the pauper-raised tea of Asia does not compare In quality and "cannot compete with the tea of South Carolina." Why then should Congress be asked to put a tax of ten cents a pound on tea for the benefit of the South Carolina tea raisers If they do not need it to enable them to compete with the foreign produc tion? j Mr z v Whitehead, editor of The southern Lumber Journal, points out " more than her fair share of the tariff, 1 we hoe no reason why the proposed low tariff on lumber should not re ceive hearty support from North Caro lina Congressmen. A majority of the Democratic Sen- jatnrs and Representative seem to have determined, in this tariff revi sion matter, to vote as they deem for the best Interests of their constituents land of their sections of the country. An exchange says that may not be good politics, but it is business. Oo the people send, men to Congress to play politics or to transact business? their raB-faarnrasrcE bbctrr The atUl-echolnr- Botes with which a North. Caroilaav. avear-poet recently welcomeiTtVealdent Tf$ tare, as was to be expected, caused an envious atlr "Judge William H. Taft. our chieftain On the 23d' will visit our CSty by the Sea. Then let us extend a welcome so warm That our statuouio wi.l feei completely at horns, Let bygone days be east aside. And welcome our hero with hearts open wide." The near-poet here Is Maurice Cox. Like some other South Carolina near poeta, he seems to sing as magnifi cently as a North Carolina near-poet untli a xorth Carolina near-poet be by. We re-lntrodtice for a moment Poet Stutts, of Alamance county, who filled our columns with music some days ago: "Should we not fel very great For this and Taft to visit our State? Raise your banners high in air; T!ire cheers, boys, we'll see Taft there! t "Many from Alimance will be sent To meet our much-loved President, flurrah for Alamance, and Taf so grsnd! Give him a hearty shake of the hand.' "We are not disposed to boast about things South Carolinian," says this South Carolina oran with con scious Insincerity, "but we should like to direct the attention of The North Carolina Observer to this random verse or two, for example." And then follows Poet Cox's really near-meritorious melody about the white man ruling In his elegant grace and the colored man conforming to his sec ondary place a melody which makes an excellent Impression until some North Carolina flutist like Poet Stutts is hesrd In the same vicinity. The Observer's efforts to inspire in Its readers admiring appreciation for the best near-poetry have been wasted if any special defence of North Caro lina song against this South Caro lina challenge Is to-day necessary. In making reference to the appoint ment of Judge Connor to the Federal judgeship, The Charleston News and Courier says that "the only North Carolina Republican Mr. James T. Williams appointed to a consider able office by Mr. Tsft was 'raised' in South Carolina." From this state of facts It concludes "without Indulg ing In flattery of the South Carolina Republicans, it Is fair to say that they seem to be superior to the North Caro lina erticle." Rather. It would seem that in the estimation of the Presi dent there is greater superiority in North Carolina Democrats over the Republicans of this State than there Is In the Democrats of South Caro lina over the members of the Repub lican party there. The building of publh; roads by the unemployed has the endorsement of President Taft, says an exchange. Mr. Taft will finfld that in this part of the country, especially In those sections where the vagrancy law Is enforced, a great many of the unemployed are given steady work at road building. It is true, howover, that they do not seem grateful to the public officials for providing this employment for them. Do not punish your child. Go to your piano and play Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," or something of that sort, for Its benefit, is the ad vice of a New York physician. But how about those parents who have never heard of Beethoven and can not Htrike a single note on a pi ano? We suppose they will be allow ed to continue to make music with the slipper and the shingle. While Pittsburg has been busying herself fighting against the "demoral lzlng Influence of the nude In art" graft has been allowed to parade her streets, unmolested, In the glare of the nocn-day sun as nude as was Ad am before he took to the business of a fig-leaf tailor. The Leavenworth, Kan., Post asks: "Where Is Mr. Bryan?" Don't be un easy. If he Is lost It will be only temporarily. He will let his where abouts be known In plenty of time for the next Democratic national conven tlon you may be sure. Congressmen ought not to oppose an Income tax. It would not neces sarily affect them. All they would have to do would be to vote them selves a sufficient raise In the pres ent salary to cover the tax. It will go down in Mecklenburg his tory as "that long cool apell In May' which President Taft brought us. Much of a Hawk. Asheboro Courier. An interesting hawk story comes from Concord township. Recently N. V. Kearns, a farmer, set a steel trap in his chicken lot to catch some sly animal that had been robbing him of chickens. The day after It was set an Investigation showed that v the trap had been carried away. Nearly a week passed before he heard a great commotion among his chickens and going out he saw a hawk soaring upward with a chicken ln his beak, another in one of his claws, and from the other claw was dangling the steel trap that had been carried May a. few days before. j : Whetting Their Knives in tbe Fifth. Winston Journal , 5t Is said that candidates are already pluming themselves for Congress In 1110. No man who got mixed up In the affair of 1J0S will have a ghost of a chance, for there are knivea being whetted at thin -very minute for a number of men. We know that some men are mentioned who took no part in tbe last campaign by reason of their positions, stnd we are sure that the Democrats will select a winner from one of theae.-- What Shock!

Harris should . have appeared among those honored with seats at the board on the occasion of the din- ner given by the central committee In honor of the President Tbursaay evening. Mist Carrie Louise Davidson, tne attractive daughter of Mn and Mrs. C. M. Davidson, was the winner of the secjpnd prize- for. the best' decorated doable team in the parade Thursday. This young lady's nam did not ap pear In full yesterday morning, owing to the dropping of one of the lines' ln tbe story of The Observer. The central commutes of the cele bration which was bonded to return the United States flags to Washing top unharmed is beginning to think a partial forfeiture will be necessary In view of the fact that a number oi the larger flas have been badly used bv the elements. The mixture of rain and wind was too much for some of them and they suffered bad tears. Little Miss Helen Lethco, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Lethco, secured the nrst prize for the prettiest pony cart. It was 'decorated with yellow butterflies. In the list of names Of those who rode on the colonial float, the names of Masses Hazellne Thom as and Isabel Beall, also the two pages, little Miss Mary Brevard Alex ander and Master James Graham, should have appeared. A citizen calls attention to the fact that the papers missed observing the snow that fell Thursday during the heavy downpour of rain. This Is not so unnatural, after all, in view of the fact that so many other things more important were being looked af ter. He Is certain, however, that snow did fall during the downpour and bonds himself to the extent of his words that the statement is ac curate. The confetti battles were never more fiercely fought in the city than during the first two days and nights of the celebration. The streets were literally thronged with young peo ple engaged In throwing the stuff at -the other folks. During one of the engagements, a colored damsel, dress ed "to kill," was strutting up the street and somebody emptied a. bag of confetti down her back. "Oh, mercy," she exclaimed, "why did. you throw that confederacy on me." Mr. Osmond L. Barringer was about the only man ln the city who was pre pared for the deluge treat character ised Thursday's celebration. But th day before he had received a con signment of 17 row boats and one gasoline launch for service this sum mer on the pond at Lakevlew Park. Several times during the day he was almost persuaded to put out the launch. It could have operated with out trouble along several streets. One of the handsomest specimens of the cullnnrv art ever exhibited In Charlotte was the cpntrepleca'execut ed by Mr L. P. Riccy, chef of the ReVwyn, for the President's rtinlns Thursday night. It was an elegant three-story affair, a -white dove with sn olive branch perched on high ami gold fishes playing about the base. All the trimmings were in white, thfl whole muklng" a most beautiful and wondrous display. Whether his higher officer assigned him deliberately to the President's stand or that it Just happened that he was given the place. Is Immaterial, but the presence of Col. Thomas Rlack ln the President's special place on the reviewing stand was eminently In keeping with the fitness of things. Colonel Tom occupied the north end of the stand as a sort of guard and he gave the Chief Executive occa sional glances, as much as to say, "Old fellow. I'm about as big a man as you are." Which he Is, corporeally. The United States soldiers left yes terday morning over the Southern for their encampments. The Infantry went back to Fort McPherson. Oa., and the cavalry to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. One section of the train left at 10 o'clock and the other an hour la ter. The troopers that were at the celebration made a great showing and assisted materially in making the programme attractive. The number of men here this time was consider ably ln excess of that three years ago. The drilling was very much enjoyed and the officers displayed their fine technique in being able to command such precision on the field. Any account of the celebration and the coming of President Taft which does not Include mention of the touching invocation at the Auditorium of Rev. Dr. William Morris Klncald. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of the city. Just prior to the significant address of the nation's Chief Executive, would fall short to a marked degree. Those who beard It Bay that U w one of . the most ap propriate and beautiful ever heard a the city, and formed a fitting intro duction to a meeting the like of which has never before been held ln the State. The management of the Young Men's Christian Association display ed a magnanimous spirit ln offering free places to sit during the passing of the parade Thursday. While the excellent seats afforded at the Asso ciation Building would have easily commanded fine prices, the director ate agreed that ft would not be the proper thing to do to fix any charges and went even so far as to provide as many chairs aa could be crowded Into the available spaces. This course has been widely commented upon and the liberal spirit displayed has been very much complimented In view of the fact that so many setts In that neighborhood were sold. The work of tearing down the vari ous displays of illumination and dec oration of other sorts was barely be gun yesterday, the weather being so unfit for outdoor work. In this con nection, it might . be welt to Insert the suggestion of a well-known citi zen who advises that as much as pos sible of the decorations be allowed to remain on the buildings until af ter the North Carolina Bankers' Con vention In this city next week.. This applies particularly to the electric dis plays. As to the ornate national col ors which have been so prominent on the chief buildings for more than n week, and the government flags, tbey should be left where they are until dried by the sun. , The' ram Thursday Interfered with manr otana wfcleh Jkad been devised for the President's pleasure. One wan a trip about ths eity in order that he might seo something or industrial Charlotte. Mr. Stnart W. Cramer u to have this n hand, using his ele gant Whits rnnasont for ths purpose. In order that nothing- might be west ing, Mr. Cramer, through the ktd offices of Mr. Osmond I Barringer. bad a monster Model M T -passenger White car brought hers from Atlan ta, Gt, for the purpose of providing ths necessary escort of el tt sens and secret service men on the trip. As It was, the big car could ts used only to carry ths President from the Audito rium out to Biddle and return, a fifing trip. Thursday's rain wa something aw ful, the precipitation being more than three nd one-half. Inches. Yesterday the Catawba and all tributary streams were out of their banks and raging l;ke mad. The river was 15 feet high. One of the results was the tylng-np of a number of automobiles which had made the trip through the country to Charlotte from neighboring towns for the celebration. It is estimated that there were a dosen or more can, here yesterday unable to get away. Mr. James Williamson, of Burling ton, has his' machine here and also Messrs. Henry, of Asheville, and Lambeth, of Thomaevllle. and two gentlemen from Cheraw. S. C, Messrs. Malloy and DuVal, of Cheraw, were forced to leave their cars at Monroe and make the trip by rail. The souvenir paper welzht fashion ed by Mr. Carl Benthelm at the in stance of the descendants of the sign ers for presentation to President Taft on the occasion of his visit to Char lotte was formally given into the hands of the nation's chief execu tive Thursday evening by MaJ. W, A. Graham, State Commissioner of Ag riculture, himself a descendant. In re ply to MaJ. Graham's few words, the President, holding the beautiful token In his hand, said: "I thank you and I am glad that the face wears the smile that won't wear off." "Whereupon he bowed and the select company present smilingly retired. The manner as well as the words were most cordial. Mr. Richard Welghtman, of Wash ington, editorial writer on The Nt York Sun. la a visitor In the city, ths guest of Mr. J. P. Caldwell, editor of The Observer, and Mr. D. A. Tomp kins, at the Pelwyn. Mr. Welghtman did not come for the celebration, ar living yesterday morning, but for a social visit. He is a Txiuislanlan by birth and a veteran of the war be tween the States. For years he was chief editorial writer on The Wash ington Post prior to his connection with The Sun and is esteemed one of the most able end Influentiel writers at the national capital. He will return to Washington thl evening. Yesterday, Mr. Tompkins entertained a few friends af lunch at the fielwyn In his honor and Mr. Caldwell gave a dinner for htm at his home on South Trvon itreet last night. The fact that the electric current had been cut off of the1 wires on South Tryon street during the, passing of the parade pronaniy saved the, lives of an unlimited number of people. Near the close of the fine procession of mili tary, civic and floral Parts, one of the floats came jn contact t'th one of tho overhead electric Mghtina; wires natd It sagged near the heads of the Immense throng on the street' for a time, it appeared thaf a panic Va a Inevitable, the fact that a drenching rain was Just then beginning and the throng was scattering In all directions. Th officials of the 4 C's. however, showed their superior wisdom in aklng the precaution of stopping the street car on that line and shutting off the cur rent that would have dealt death to a multitude had It been broken from its moorings and dropped to the ground while conveying its full volt age. The great amount of work toward preparing for the celebration was no ticeable to all the visitors and even to those who are accustomed to the Im mense displays in the greater citlea of the country. Of ull the decorative work, however, the electric Illumina tion for which Charlotte Is fast he coming far-famed appeared to elicit the widest approbation. It was a matter of universal comment that the city showed the visitors that It was the electric centre of the South In being able to command such an elab orate electric decoration. This has become a favorite sort of display In Charlotte and It Us evident that no other is serving a better purpose of advertisement' or more universally meeting the need for an adequate decoration. All of which is due In large measure to the public spirit and generosity on the part of the South ern Power Company and Mr. W. S. Lee. Jr. A limited touch with some repre sentative Charlotte citizens reveals the fact that the people here were Immensely pleased with President Taft, Irrespective of party affiliations. Many loyal and abiding- Democrats were profoundly impressed with the liberality of spirit or the nation's Chief Executive. They like his prin ciples and his attitude toward the South, the eminent independence In ideas which he displayed, the plain, unadorned, and yet becoming dignity evidenced in speech and conduct, the great good cheer and beaming coun tenance which marXs his every move, and the whole-hearted, whole souled disposition of the President. Not only those who came In imme diate touch with the distinguished vis itor, but even those who merely caught a good glance at him dur ing his, stay here found In his face an exhibition of temper knd a strength of character that Alls well the ideal of an American citixen. The question arising prominently now In the minds of everybody re lates to what extent the celebration crowd would have grown had the weather been In the very least pro pitious. Fair estimates place the vis itors to the city Thursday at 30.000. Of course, many run far. over this number, while a few. perhaps, strike lower. That seems to be to all fair minded prognoaticatorn as a good guess. The exceedingly ' threatening weather o the early morning, or lust a boat the time the special trains from various points in the Carol in las, were scheduled to leave, eut down the num ber of visitors extensively. It Is a fact that an enormous number - of people from the nearby .-towns re frained from risking themselves In tbe eity under such unfavorable clouds and they made no preparation to come.
