K. 0., under the Act of Ooncron af sure. Ira. IMff. FRIDAY. JUNE I, iqo6. Mr. Carnegie says he would work for a dollar a day, if it was necessary. How many dollars he makes every day out of work of other men and through the virtual monopoly, the tariff on steel, is the question that inter ests the American people. Dowie is making tne same charges against Voliva which the Republicans have used against Cleveland. He charges that the prevalence of small pox and fever in Zion City is due entirely to the fact that the inhabitants of that place deserted him forVoli va. State Republican Chairman Thomas S. Rollins said to a re porter in Greensboro Saturday that North Carolina would go Republican two years hence This is a prediction that we have heard before and have failed to see the prophecy of Republican politicians verified. We are anx ious to see what character of a campaign Che party will develop this year. Senator Carmack cast his vote for a sea level canal, and broke the tie in the Senate Committee bn Inter-Oceanic Canals. The wisdom of this act caannot be doubted. The Senator from Tennessee has. indeed, exhibited throughout his career a high de cree of practical wisdom, and his defeat by Gov. Taylor was not due to any lack of efficiency as a Senator. Five men were killed and two others seriouslyinjuredby light ning striking in a crowd at a base ball game in Mobile,- Ala., last Sunday. At least twenty others were stunned by the stroke. We do not care to moralize on this or advance the assertion that it was the werk of providence. It does seem, however, that Sunday should be used for better pur poses than attending baseball games. Eighty members of the fertili zer trust have been indicted, charged with conspiracy against the United States and with violat ing the Sherman Law. The number included jthe large ferti lizer companies of the south and owing to the prominence of the men and corporations involved and the seriousness of the char ges, the cases are of more than ordinary interest. This investi gation is only one of the series that is being made into the big corporations. At the meeting of the State Re publican Executive Committee held" in Greensboro Saturday, Thomas S. Rollins resigned as chairman of the committee and Ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams was chosen to succeed him. Judge Adams is a man who claims to belong to no faction, and he will "devote his time to building up the party. While Judge Adams is no,doubt the most sai table man for the place, it will take months and years of hard work to undo the evil of his predeces Bor. , i Of the ninety members of the United States Senate, thirty-six .ariCWfires, their fortunes 2. the sum of three ' i tad forty-three million lelJars.wTh mation Is given in an article in last Sunday's Charlotte Observer by Ira E. Bennet from Washing ton City. William A. Clark, oi . Montana, beads the list with two hundred - millions. The Senate1 is sometimes designated the "Millionaires' Club," a term that does not seem wholly inappro priate. Governor Glenn is to be com mended for his prompt action in ordering a Judge to Wadesboro to investigate the lynching there Monday morning. It is a dan gerous thing when men take the law in their hands and punish by death a man whom they suppose to be guilty of some crime. We trust that the guilty parties may be apprehended and punished. Lynchings occur too frequently in our Southland to be allowed to pass unnoticed, or the men who are engaged in such work to go unpunished. The executive committee of the Republican party in North Carolina met in Greensboro Sat urday and selected that city for the meeting place of the state convention July 10th, just one week later than the Democratic convention. Invitations were ex tended to Secretary Taft and Postmaster General Cortelyou to attend the convention and make addresses. Wo will be interest ed in this convention, not because it is of much significance, but for the reason that it will decide which faction of the party is in the ascendency. The crisis in Russia deepens The terrorists have been encour aged by the bold- strokes of the Douma and have renewed their campaign of assassination. Last Sunday many bombs were thrown in the cities and several were killed. The revolutionists are now rejoicing, believing every thing so far to be favorable to them- So far the revolution in Russia is a parallel of the first stages of the French Revolution The world is waiting, interested in the outcome, dreading the events that will probably occur within the next few months. MR. M'NEILL'S ANNOUNCEMENT Cb airman of Slate Corooratlon Commission Offers Himself for Re-Electlon and Recites What tbe Commission Has Accom pushed During His Term. To the People of North Carolina. i nereoy announce myself a candidate for re-nomination for the office of corporation com missioner by the State Demo cratic convention at Greensboro on July the 3rd. I pledge myself to accept such platform as may be adopted by the Democratic con vention, and, if elected, to enforce and execute such laws as now exist or may hereafter be passed, prescribing and defining the du ties of corporation commissioner faithfully and impartially, and to the best of my ability, as I have always heretofore endeavored to do. I favor: I. Assessment of rail road property for taxation at its true value in money, but. of course, will be governed by the laws based by the General As sembly of the State, prescribing the time when and the method to be adopted in arriving at this re sult. II. Requiring railroad to ren der safe, prompt and efficient service at just and reasonable rates, and a reduction of all rates' passenger and freight, which upon investigation are found not to be just and reasonable. III. Prudent, conservative and vigilant supervision of State, private and savings banks. IV. Just and equit&ble tax laws. (l)During my term of office the corporation commission has (1) Increased the assessment of railroad property, in round numbers, from $32,000,000 to $69, 000,000. l) Reduced passenger and freight rates in the State. (3) Heard and carefully con sidered all complaints made to them, many hundreds in number. and in cases where grievance was found, did what they could to relieve them, as thousand of citizens can testify. W supervised State, private and savings banks, numbering now zou. vo; uiscnarged the duties of estate tax commissioner. Several of the orders made in the dis charge of these duties were re viewed by State and Federal Courts, and the orders of the commission were sustained in all except one, and in this case the commission held that Judge Pur ?.e.l, a. Federal judge.wasUiable to the income tax upon his salary This order was reversed. Two important cases are now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States the Selma connection case and the Greens boro Ice & Coal Company case. My opponent charges that the corporation commission should have assessed railroad property in the year 1901. In regard to this I have to say that the Gen eral Assembly of 1901, for rea sons then well known, did not require or authorize as 'assess ment of railroad property for the years 1901 or 1902, but expressly directed that no assessment be made until the yearfor assessing real estate, which was 1903. In case of Jackson vs. Corporation Commission, 130, N. G, page , our Supreme Court decided that this was the proper construction of the act. So that the criticism of my opponent is directed at the General Assembly of 1901, which was overwhelmingly Dem ocratic, rather than at the com mission. - The corporation commission re ported to the General Assembly of 1903 their construction of the Act of 1901 and the construction of the Supreme Court of the State in the case of Jackson vs. Corporation Commission, and the General Assembly of 1903 did not change the act, thereby un mistakably indicating that the act had been construed in accord ance with the intention and pur pose of the General Assembly. In 1903 the corporation commis sion assessed railroad property and increased former assessment by $27,000,000. My opponent further charges that I employed counsel in the case of Jackson vs. Corporation Commission and paid them out of the State's money. This is not true. The facts are: In this suit the corporation commission was represented by Hon. R. D. Gilmer, Attorney General, and by Messrs. Burwell, Walker and Cansler. Governor Charles B. Aycock employed this firm and paid them out of the State treas ury. My opponent further charges that I recommended the aboli tion of first and second-class fares and that a fare of three cents per mile be substituted. This is not true. The recom mendation is in the report of the commission for the year 1905 to the Governor of the State, and is to the effect that one fare should be adopted and that passenger fares should be reduced. I did not prejudice the matter by nam ing the amount of suchreduction Ifthe General Assembly un. dertakes to settle the matter, as indications now are will be done, it will not be a question for the corporation commission; but if the matter is referred to the cor poration commission for decision, it would be their duty to give a hearing to all parties interested before deciding the question of the rate as applicable to any given railroad in the State, and then decide what would be a just and reasonable rate. Franklin M'Neill. Raleigh, May 21, 1906. Scburz, Tbe Patriot. Mr. Schurz was not a man of genius; but ne was a man. in whom high intellectual powers were combined with moral quali ties even more rare. Though distinctively a thinker and man of culture, he was a born fighter; when the cause was there to be fought for, the courage and reso- ution were never lacking. But he never fought simply for love or for fight; the key of his whole career is consistent devotion to a clear ideal, and faithful adherence to a body of political doctrines and moral convictions which for med part of his very being A rare union of clearness of intel- ec with spiritual ardor, coupled with an extraordinary command of the resources of his adopted as well as of his native language, stamped his speeches and writ ings with that combination of lucidity and animation which, along with their evident and com plete sincerity, gave them their peculiar efficacy as a political force. As an example of what may be achieved by sheer force of character and intellect, the career of Schurz has been of en estimable value to .thousands of young Americans in the present and the past two generations - From Carl Schurz," by Fabian Franklin, in the American Mon thly Review of Reviews for June, How's This?
