KITCHIN FORCES STARTED IT.
The , Charlotte Observer review
: some recent history.
July 13, E. L. Harris of Raleigh
one of Governor Kitchin's "job hold
er and pass toters, saw proper to
propound two questions to The Ob
server, to-wit:
" '1. If a man should this fall vote
the national Republican electoral
ticket, and the State, congressional
and county Democratic tickets, would
he or would he not. In your opinion
be entitled, under these rules, to vote
In the Democratic primary for Sena
tor? .
" '2. If a man should this fall vote
no national electoral ticket, but should
vote the State, congressional and coun
ty Democratic tickets, would be or
would he not, in your opinion, be en
titled, under these rules, to vote in
the Democratic primary for Sena
tor?"
And demanded an answer. To the
first, the Observer answered, "No."
To the second, "Yes." "Half an hour
or so after the Observer reached Ral
eighHarris and the Governor no
doubt waiting for the train to come
in" Governor Kitchin sent a telegram
to State Chairman Webb, at Asheville,
demanding that he at once call the
committee together In the Interests of
sound Democracy, for the purpose of
, giving a plain and definite construc
tion of the words "Democratic ticket."
The Governor gave as his reason that
"The Charlotte Observer has declared
editorially that a voter who declines
to vote for the Democratic national
ticket Is entitled to vote In the Demo
crane primary for Senator." "The
Kitchin papers followed this up by a
great hue and cry, roundly denounc
ing both Mr. Webb and the majority
members of the committee as cop-
splrators," says the Observer.
"Mr. Webb made a gentlemanly an
awer and agreed to call the commit
tee in August. Meanwhile, however.
the howl for this meeting subsided
The Kitchin managers had heard
few things and were willing for the
meeting not to be held at all,
AX ADVERTISER OF SOAP.
Ordinarily the paradox is a pleaslne
thing. Frequently It benefits others
than candidates for public office to
prove that white Is black or, more
commonly, that black is white. Some
times the true meaning Is revealed
with a suddenness which furnishes a
satisfying shock to the mentality and
n other cast9 the powers of reasoning
which might otherwise suffer from
disuse are afforded beneficial exercise
and exertion in seeking the hidden
trutn. However, when Sir Thomas
Oliver, F. R. C. P., professor of the
practice of medicine. University of
Durham college and physician to the
Royal Victoria college, informed the
congress of hygiene and demography
that the dust, grime, soot, smut, smoke
and fumes seeming inseparable from
our progression In trade and manufac
turing makes for cleanliness he put
himself decidedly on the defensive and
his defense Is not happy. Says Sir
Thomas:
In trying to combat their begrim
ing effects we have become a well
washed people. The dispersion of
these waste products has led to the
manufacture and use of soap In pro
portions hitherto unparalleled In the
nistory or man, while these again
have indirectly added to employment.
weann ana neaith.
Blessed with stock In no soap fac
tory or laundry, having no monopoly
on North Fork water and beyond the
reach , of any enactment for smoke
consumers we are not moved to kind
ness toward the astute Sir Thomas by
this ghastly reasoning. In fact his
utterances read suspiciously like the
emonatlons of an agent for "
soap, the greatest ever compounded,
gentlemen, and a sure cure for bald
ness and bunions," or the sophistry of
a corporation lawyer confounding a
broup of blear-eyed suffocating citi
zens before a common council.
Ing and other things, the parents of
boys who have gone off to school hav
a pretty uncomfortable time of it.

THE XEW MONEY.
You want to be careful not to
change a $10,000 bill with the por
trait of Geonre Washin irtnn nr
Thomas Jefferson on It There- will
be a separate portrait for each 6e-
nomination, as follows: The face of
George WTashington will appear
the SI bills; Thomas Jefferson on th
$2 bills; Abraham Lincoln on the $5
Grover Cleveland on the $10; Alexan
der Hamilton, $20; Andrew Jackson
$50; Benjamin Franklin, $100; John
Marshall, $500; Henry Clay, $1000
ana u. S. Grant $10,000. All of the
bills of the same denomination, under
the new plan, will bear the facea of
the same men. Officials at the treas
ury department admit that the most
dangerous form of counterfeiting is
bill raising. By having bills of the
same denomination bear the same
portrait It would be impossible for
any one to add another cipher to
ju mil ana pass It as a $100 bill.
Another plan of the treasury depart
ment to check counterfeiting is to
have the backa of the bills alike.
