Just as well let the pickpockets
get your money as the trusts.
Pickpockets, like the tariff, do
not discriminate. They take the
Cish out of the pockets of all alike.
Bryan ib probably the most
8( holarly, brainiest and most ready
n an in America, aod there are
p ople criticising him who actu-
a Iy stink.
It will be only a short while
u til the battle is over. If Bryan
c, n carry New York ani Indiana,
w iich he probably will, it will be
al 1 over but the shouting.
A man who can make twenty
tvo speeches in one day cannot be
said to be in very poor physical
condition. That is what Mr.
B :yan did early in the week in his
home state.
Don't be a National Republican,
State Democrat, district Socialist,
county Prohibitionist and town-
snip notnmg. tie a man and vote
the Democratic ticket straight
from end to end.
In the opinion of some of
our local 'politicians, McKenzie
ar d Houston will have a hot race
ort in the county, but what Salis
bt ry townshin will do to Mr.
Hiuston will be "A. P."
The only difference between the
trusts and pickpockets is the trusts
are the result of Republican legis
lation and the pickpocket seems
to be a kind of tail to polisical
gatherings . The pickpocket is
the morn respectable of the two.
Senator Overman hae done more
for Rowan county and North Car
olina than any other man ever did
in so short a time. There is no
doubt as to the people's duty to
ward him. In voting the straiggt
Democratic ticket you vote for
Mr. Overman.
Mr. Taft is reported to have
said in a recent speech at Louis
ville that "the South ia a part of
the Union, and as such is entitled
to be considered in the presiden
tial campaign." The South is
certainly under obligations to Mr.
Taft for this display of generosity.
The Democratic primary and
convention was held in a regular
manner, was conducted fairly and
squarely toward all candidates be
fore it, and every true-blue Dem
ocrat and believer in majority
rule can be counted on to vote the
full ticket frdtn Bryan down to
township constable.
It is stated in the dispatches
that the Atlanta young lady, who,
with her gentleman companion,
recently created such a furor in
Charlotte, claims she was never
married to Russell Thomas. If
she wasn't, Bhe ought to have
been, will fce the vetdict of the
majority of fathers and mothers.
The principles of Democracy
are as true and everlasting as the
eternal hills. Bad men, of which
every party has its share, may get
in command and leave the true
course, but the old ship can be
brought around again and again,
if the good people will do their
full duty. Vote the straight
ticket.
We are all glad to see anything
done which will improve the
streets of Salisbury and give our
city a more attractive appearance
But there can be no room for de
bate on one point, that our citi
zens will give a sigh of relief which
could possibly be heard as far as
Fort Macon, when this digging is
ended.
Tne ladxin Valley Fair is m
progress here this week aud the
attendance is fairly good, but no
so good as the attractions deserve
The editor was out yesterday and
found a great improvement in the
exhibits over last year, especially
in the products of the - farm and
garden, it looks more like a fair
ought to be. We did not see or
hear of a single gambling whee
on the grounds.
Jas. H. - McKenzie, our next
sheriff, a man who will by his
close attention to . business and
splendid business qualities, make
one of the best sheriff's the coun
ty has ever, had, has just come in
from a trip in various parts of the
county much pleased with the
prospects for an old-time Demo
cratic majority. While all par
ties have kickers before every elec
tion, the Democratic vote will not
be materially changed.
The only way to secure Demo
cratic success is to support the
candidates nominated by the par
ty, and. this ought to be consider
ed a personal duty by every Demo
ocrat in the county., We either
desire the cause of Democracy to
triumph or else we do not, If we
want to see our county candi
dates elected it is hardly a wise
policy for us to b6 indifferent,
stay at home on election andde
pend on our neighbor to do the
voting. The Democratic party
has a great opportunity' today in
county, Stat9 and nation, and
every man who oalls himself a
Democrat should do, his whole
duty.
The reasoning done by Repub
icau speakers during the present
campaign, is surely beyond the
comprehension of the orlinary
mind. Mr. Taft is quoted as say
ing iu his recent speech here,
"I would point out to you the
fact that we are getting over a
fioanciaV panic and I appeal to
you to come out and vote the Re
publican ticket and see the de
pression pass away and make room
tor prosperity."
Coming from an ordinary
peaker this would be termed
simple rot, but coming from
such a distinguished gentleman
w o ,
as .Mr. Taft, one hardly knows
how to characterize it. Mr. Taft
must certainly see the fallacy of
such talk and seeing it, why he
indulges in it is one of the mys
teries. The plain inference from
his language is that a Republican
administration is able to avert
panics, financial depression and
other important things which are
in the habit of coming upon us,
and assnre prosperity to the coun
try. " This being jthe case one can
not but inquire who is responsi
ble, for the gre t panic through
which we have lately passed. If
the Republican party, or a Repub
lican administration, can y avert
panics, why does not Mr. Taft
explaiu who or what was response
ble for the last one, which occur
red under a Republican adminis
tration. And if a panic could
visit us under the admiuistratioii
of Mr. Roosevelt, why would we
be exempt from a repetition of
such a condition uuder an admin
istration guided by Mr. Taft. We
confess that we cannot graap the
logic of the Republican reasoning
on this question and must regret
that Mr. Tatt did not have time
to straighten out the tangle, if, in
deed, he could straighten it out.
The question: 'Shall the People
Rule?" is one of very great im
portance to the nation and the in
dividual. It can haidly be said
that the psople do rule. .They
have the right aud power to rule,
but seem to be sleeping on their
rights, while the crafty politicians
are using every opportunity aod
every bit of cuuing known to
shrewd men to make our gDvem-ment-
an absolute monarchy iu
every particular except in name.
The govern nieut in Washington
instead of considering itslf a
creature and servant of the peo
ple has, bv degree bee jme so cen
tralized, that to a very large ex
tent it seems to regard the people
as though they were imbeciles and
wards. It creates commissions and
passes laws, without consultation,
and often in total disregard oi
the people's wishes, to investigate
into their private affairs and tc
meddle with their peace and com
fort, ostensibly doing the part of
a'; godmother, but in reality to
tighten the hold of the central
iziug, all powerful, national gov
ernment. The result of this pro
cess is easy to Be1, the nearer per
fection it reaches the less consid
oration will tne people receive.
about all their rights will be u
surped, except so much-as is npces-
sarv to enable them to pay taxes
and Bhoulder a n usket to fatten
and protect our lords and mas
ters. The question: "Shall th?
People Rule?" is one that comes
up for the earnest consideration
of every man who loves his home
and native laud. We might
therefore ask : Are we ready to
quietly submit to our rights being
gradually stolen from ub? Are
we ready for our individuality to
be hopelessly lost by being mere
ly one of a great unorganized, uu
dnlled helpless mass to be driven
hither aud thither the slaves of
government officials. Are we
going to continue praying for jus
tice and voting for damnation?
Are our people really and truly so
ignorant, or biased, that they do
not know tne tariff is one 'of the
greatest iniquities of the times, a
curse to the great masses and a
mint for the trusts, combines and
"infant industries"? Isn't it
plain to all intelligent people that
a great, powerful and domineer
ing class of office-holders is being
created iu this country? A class
that is beginning to almost be
lieve that they are superior blood,
have superior tights and are in a
class above the average citizen?
Look at the little, petty post
masters and revenue doodltrs all
over the country, mst of whom
are yelling for Taft, tariff and
trusts as though there was some
thing more at stake than their lit
tle 2x4 jobs. It is enough to
make sensible men tired to see
and hear of men conducting them
selves in such an unbecoming
manner and with so little charity
to their fellow opponents, in this
section, knowing as we do, the
South gets practically nothing
rom a Republican administra
tion, although groaning uuder
burdensome taxes and supplying
great numbers of the best men in
the national army and Davy. De
mocracy and her nominee for the
presidency, William . Jenningg J
.Bryan, claim that all government
is the creature and servant of the
people, that there shall be "Equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none," and that the people
shall rule.
OCEAN AN ENORMOUS POOL
Wind and Currents Keep It Moviqg
Round and Round.,
The discoveries of modern sci
ence have revealed monsters of the
deep as terrific as any that ancient
fancy created and have shown that
oceans are not mere wastes of wa
ter but the homes of an astounding
variety of living things. More than
this, it has been discovered that the
seas themselves have each a sort 6f
law of existence "which they obey.
The hydrographic office at Wash
ington has for years been trying to
learn something of the characteris
tics of the Atlantic ocean as a great
moving body of water by means of
bottles containing papers, whieh
have been dropped overboard from
vessels in many places to drift at
the mercy of the winds and waves.
Many of these bottles have been
found and picked up again either in
the open sea or on shores where
they had stranded.
Knowing from its records where
the bottles had been throwri over
board, the bureau has been able to
trace m a general way the path
they must have followed in order to
reach the places where they were
found. ;
Being partially filled with air and
then securely corked, the bottles
float on the surface of the water
and go wherever the winds and the
currents of the sea carry them.
Each bottle contains a record of the
place and date of its starting. Some
of those found have floated for
many months on the bosom of the
Atlantic and traveled thousands of
miles.
It has been ascertained that bot
tles dropped overboard between the
shores of the United States and
England or France generally travel
toward the northeast, following the
course of that great river in the
ocean called the gulf stream. Bot
tles started off the coasts of Spain
or Africa travel westward until
they arrive among the West India
islands. Along the European side
of the ocean the bottles take a
southerly course and along the
American side a northerly course.
Thus as a result of winds and
currents the whole Atlantic is
shown to be slowly circulating
around and around, like an enor
mous pool. This accounts for the
stories that were current in Europe
hundreds of years ago of strange
objects of human manufacture hav
ing floated from the new to the old
world, thus giving a clew to the ex
istence of undiscovered lands across
the sea. Los Angeles Times.
