A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
In co-operating with the Insur
gent Republicans of the House of
Represeniaiives in the fight against
Cannonism the Democratic mem
bers of that body have pursued a
wise and commendable course.
The Insurgent Republicans are
fighting the people's battle against
greed and privilege and oppres
sion. In their revolt against a tar
iff framed in the interest of favored
beneficiaries, in their righteous
war upon Cannonism, they de
serve and should receive the hear
ty support of all Democrats. It is
the proud claim of the Democratic
party that it is essentially the cham
pion of the people; that it stands
for the rights and the interests of
the masses; that it is the uncom
promising foe of the trusts and
monopolies which plunder the peo
ple. This, also, is the creed of the
Insurgent Republicans, and there
fore they should have the cordial
and practical support of every
Democrat in the House who sin
cerely desires to promote the wel
fare of the people.
The people realize now that
Cannonism is absolutely incompat
ible with the advancement of their
welfare, that it is synonymous
with organized greed and rapacity.
In the popular revolt against Can
nonism and in the divisions in the
Republican party caused by Bal-linger-Pinchot
feud the Democrat
ic party has a great opportunity,
and if this opportunity is w isely
improved, the country may intrust
the administration of the Govern
ment to the national Democracy.
The West demands relief from the
burdens of oppresstve taxation. It
it cannot obtain this relief from the
Republican party, it must turn to
the Democracy for deliverance.
Every consideration of political
wisdom requires that the national
Democracy shall begin now to pre
pare for the Presidential fight in
1912, with the purpose of nomina
ting its strongest and ablest man.
The nomination ought not to be
influenced by sectional considera
tions. No choice should be made
until the matter has been weighed
thoughtfully, practically and delib
erately. Today, as in the past,
the South is the stronghold of the
national Democracracy. There is
good ground for the belief that the
South can give the party a candi
date for the Presidency who would
inspire enthusiasm in the ranks of
the Democracy. It is not to be
questioned that there are Demo
cratic statesmen in the South
whose candidacy for President
would be acceptable to the people
of the whole country. It is time,
therefore, For the Democratic par
ty to begin to plan for the Presi
dential election of 1912. If its
choice falls upon its strongest man,
who can bring together all ele
ments of the national Democracy,
the country may give the Demo
cratic party two years hence a man
date to destroy Cannonism in ev
ery branch of the Government and
to afford the people relief from op
pressive taxation and predatory
trusts and monopolies. Baltimore

FRAUDULENT N. C. BONDS.
State Treasurer Lacy has re
ceived from the Treasurer and At
torney-General of Rhode Island a
formal demand for the settlement
of $484,090, of special tax bonds.
Treasurer Lacy replies by saying
these bonds were passed during
the reconstruction era, had been
held fraudulent and illegal by our
Supreme court and had been re
pudiated by the people, there being
a clause in the constitution forbid
ding their payment.
The bondholding sharpers allege
that they hold this class of bonds
to the amount of $12,000,000. It
is the opinion of Governor Kitchin,
Traasurer Lacy and the people of
North Carolina that such bonds
will continue to be held as worth
less paper. They were conceived
in crime and brought forth in cor
ruption. The bill which put the owner
ship of a fraction of these bonds in
the State of Rhode Island was
enacted through subterranean chi
canery. The News and Observer
received the following telegram
from Mr. John R. Bathom, man
aging editor of the Providence
Journal:
"Letter sent by Governor of
Rhode Island yesterday to your
Governor making demand for
payment of half million dollars of
bonds, acceptance of which was
forced on Rhode Island after un
derground passage of bill in our
Legislature compelling State to
accept same. Every effort will be
made here to repeal the law under
which the bonds were accepted as
a gift from the New York Bond
holders' Committee."
The best sentiment of the State
of Rhode Island condemns the pat
ent outrage committed by the
bondholders' committee, and it is
believed here that bonds which are
the fruit of so much infamy will
not remain in the willing posses
sion of that State but that the
Rhode Island Legislature will re
pudiate the shameful gift as North
Carolina repudiated the abortive
bonds. The donation is a bribe,
given with a sinister purpose.

The Grand Lodge of Masons.in
their one-hundred and twenty
third annual session, in Raleigh,
last week elected the following

A "non -partisan" convention
has been called at Henderson for
the last of February in the interest
of "local option." The principal
address is to be delivered by Hon.
W. A. Self, of Catawba county,
and the avowed purpose is the
expunging of the prohibition law
from the statute books of North
Carolina." There will follow, of
course, other similar conventions,
and thus during the next nine
months we will see a renewal of the
liquor question. The liquor
question is hard to settle,
and when you think its down it
has only been "scotched."
Senator Aldrich rings clear
on the fraudulent N. C. bonds,
and tells Senators Simmons and
Overman that in his opinion public
sentiment in Rhode Island would
be hostile to a suit against a friend
ly State. "Little Rhody" is all
right, she has only been made a
cat's paw by holders of the fraud
ulent bonds.
It is figured out by Dunn & Co.
that the bank clearings in 1909
showed an increase of 25.2 per
cent, over the business done in
1908, and the same' authority
shows that this increase is not due
to abnormal activity in any partic
ular direction that may prove tem
porary. CHILDREN TEETHINO

1 BETTERMENT COLUMN. J
A SPITTINQ ORDINANCE.
i
We give below an editorial from
the Raleigh Times of January 3rd,
which applies to Weldon as well
as Raleigh:
"Have you a spitting ordinance
in Raleigh?" said a lady walking
down Fayetteville street yesterday.
The question could not be answer
ed because the looks of the street
was strong evidence that there w as
no such ordinance, and if there is
it is probably not for sentimental
reasons. The sidewalks are al
ways covered with tobacco spit and
it is not only on one of the side
walks, but on every one in the
city. It is not only the tobacco
user that defiles the sidewalk so
that a lady is in danger of ruining
her dress, but it is every other
kind of filth and disease that is
coughed up and spit out on the
sidewalks. Yesterday was a beau- j
tiful afternoon and a large number i
of ladies were out walking, and ii !
was noticed that they had to avoid
the west side of Fuyettevillo street
and especially by the postoffice, as
:iearly the entire sidewalk wascov
ered with filth and spit. This con
dition is not only true of yesterday
but it is true of every day in the
week, and on every sidewalk, and j
it is a condition that should make !
the people demand some action by j
the officials. j
It the people who are doing so j 11
much talking about Sanitary' Ji
Sunday and Tuberculosis : ,
would give some attention to such
things as this they would accom-;
nlkh a tnf mnrt th:in HKCiissino '
. , . . . i
fresh air at a convention. The j
Condition Of Our Streets makes them 1
,, , . . !
Very unsanitary all the time, but It i
should be a fine for any person to
, i
Spit On the Sidewalk Where ladies ;
have to travel. If for no other i
. i
reaSOn let US keep the Sidewalks j
Where the ladies have to Walk !
1
Clean. OF Course We knOW It Will
be hard to enforce such a law here I
and there will be a howl raised be
cause of the sentiment involved in
the matter, as it has been one of
the old time customs, but it is to
be hoped that the New Year reso
lutions of the city fathers will in
clude this sanitary measure for the
health of the city and for the sake
of the ladies who have to go on
our streets."
A later paper states that there is
a law and the mayor says it shall
be enforced. Can we not go and
do likewise?"
