TUESDAY November 18, 1902.
A MORNING TONIC.
(Henry Cabot Lodge.)
When wealth expends in a single even
ing upon a vulgar, brainless entertain
ment an amount of money the income of
which would mean affluence to thousands
of families; when it is used to promote
concerns in the necessities of life, or for
desperate gambling in the stock market;
when it is engaged in an effort to debauch
elections or control. Legislatures; when
it considers that everything is for sale.
Legislatures and_courts. public offices,
the honesty of men and the honor of wo
men. it is hard to overestimate the peril
which it portends.
A GROWING VOTE.
There lias been a rapid increase in the
Socialist vote. It has increased from
126,445 in 1900 to 400,000 this year.
What does this increase mean? It is
distributed from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia in the North. It has made little
headway in the South except at Coving
ton, Kentucky. N
The existence of a protective tariff
levied to take money out of the pockets
of a large class of people and put it in
the pockets of the few, the advocacy of
the ship subsidy bill, and voting subsi
dies to railroads —this sort of unjust
paternalism that is favoritism to the
rich is an encouragement to Socialism.
If it is right for the government to
practise paternalism, which to
those who have the power to dictate
legislation, and robs those who lack such
power—if such legislation can be defend
ed, so can Socialism. Indeed it is re
stricted Socialism. The Socialists wish
the government to be paternal, but to
treat all its children alike. The advo
cates of protections and subsidies wish
the government to be paternal, but wish
it to treat the trusts as favorite children
and all others as step children.
Socialism, with all its dangers, is the
legitimate child of the protective policy.
THE SOUTH*AS A TEACHER.
The Norfolk Landmark copies that
portion of the speech of Mr. Joseph G.
Breton before the Bankers’ Association,
which contrasted today, when “the North
is sending to us not only her money, but
her sons,” with the days when war and
reconstruction left her poor. The Land
mark pays Mr. Brown a high compli
ment and incidentally' rebukes certain
wordy “Smart Alecs” in the South
who think there is nothing worthy of
their commendation south of Washing
ton. We quote
‘ One of the best of the many' fine ad
dresses made at the session of the Amer
ican Bankers’ Association in New Or
leans last week was delivered by Mr.
Joseph G- Brown, a leading banker of
Raleigh <N. C.), to whom had been as
signed as a subject ‘The Conditions in
the New South.’ Mr. Brown’s remarks
were strikingly' in line with what The
Landmark has been saying recently in
reply to hypercriticism of the Southern
people by ‘smart Alecs’ who have grown
up amon" us.
“Mr. Brown is just the sort of man
who would succeed in business if he
went North. He is a shrewd, experi
enced financier; but that does not keep
him from recognizing the fact that the
people of the South, instead of having
to take lessons from the rest of the
country', have really given the rest of the
country and the world a remarkable ex
hibition of courage, endurance, and
energy.”
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The annual meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce will be held tonight. It is the
occasion when the officers of that body
review the progress of the past year
and take a look in the future, pointing
out the progress that has been made and
the more pressing needs of the city.
President Ward will tonight sum of the
work of the Chamber and give wise
counsel to the business men of the city.
The meeting should be largely attended,
for, among other important matters to
be considered, this is the time for the
election of new officers.
Mr- Lumbago is now paying an un
welcome call on J. Pierpont Morgan. It
seems that as Morgan owns most every
thing else, he must own a few troubles
also.
If it is necessary for Pritchard to eat
humble pie to reinstate himself in Roose
velt’s go6d graces, he will cat it all right
and swear he loves it.
THE LESSON OF DEFEAT.
Everybody was surprised when the
news came two weeks ago that the Re
publicans had carried Colorado. There
has been no explanation that was satis
factory. The Rocky Mountain News
furnishes one that points a moral to
other States. We quote
.‘‘The revenue measure —a law of which
the Democracy may well be proud—was
nullified in its vital features by the
board of equalization- No Republican
board could have been more subservient
to the great corporations in dealing with
their taxes. In establishing valuations
the board ignored the vital elements
which the law directed it to consider in
determining valuations —the stocks,
bonds and other securities of the corpor
ations. The valuation of railroad prop
erty was based, as in the venal days be
fore the new law, upon the naked, visible
and tangible property. The franchises
and market value of the stocks and
bonds were ignored as though none ex
isted. The result was that the great
corporations escaped with the payment
of but a fraction of the taxes they should
have been forced to pay, while the pri
vate citizen was taxed up to the very
extreme of his property's, valuation. The
Democratic State administration having
placed upon the statute books the best
tax law that any State can boast of, de
prived tl?e party of all benefit from it
by construing it for the corporations and
against the citizen. ’ The conduct of the
board gagged every Democratic speaker
upon the subject of the tax law. The
speakers could not claim credit for the
law without denouncing Democratic ad
ministration of it.”
The Democratic failure to do its duty
in Colorado was one which deserved to
be rebuked. The officers in this day and
hour who assess railroads, or other quasi
public corporations only upon ‘‘the
naked, visible, tangible property” are
neglecting to tax the most valuable
portion of railroad property.
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
The election of Mr. R. G. Erwin, presi
dent of the Plant system, as president of
the greater Atlantic Coast Line, shows
that in the merger the strong men of both
systems are given leading positions. Mr.
Erwin succeeded Mr. Plant as president
of that magnificent railroad system, and
stands among the ablest railroad men in
the South. It has always been the cus
tom of the president of the Atlantic Coast
Line to live in Wilmington, where the
chief offices of the system are located. It
is to be honed that North Carolina can
soon claim Mr. Erwin as a citizen.
Babcock has been forced to retire from
the Speakership fight because he favored
withdrawing the protective tariff duties
from the articles controlled by trusts.
The Republicans are glad to have such a
man in Congress, provided he will obey
orders, and glad to have him Congres
sional chairman. As a figure head he
helps them to say the party is not trust
dominated. But no such man will be
trusted‘with th4 great powers wielded by
the Speaker of the House.
They say that Broadnax and Starbuck,
deputy collectors, are charged with
having threatened the negro delegates
with personal violence if they dared to go
intoYie Republican State Convention. The
matter will be investigated and Duncan
will be required to dismiss them if true.
There are 75,000 negro voters in
Illinois, tfhis is 75,000 arguments that
caused Roosevelt to spit on the Lily
White Republican party. And “there are
others,” for instance, the big negro vote
in Indiana and other Northern States. —
Rhamkatte Roaster.
The Montgomery Advertiser learns that
the District Attorney of Alabama, who
was a “Lily White” will also be made to
walk the plank, and Booker Washington
will name his successor. The colored
man and brother seems to be in tho
saddle again.
“Nothing succeeds like success.” Il‘
Pritchard’s “Lily White” party had won
in North Carolina, he would have boon
the favorite at the White House and all
this display of devotion to the negro—
for votes in Indiana —would not now bf 1
heard.
Politicians.
It is reported that Mr. W. A. Hilde
brand is to be editor of a new Republi
can Lily White daily paper to be es
tablished at Greensboro next year.
The editor of the Madison County Rec
ord, Mr. Swan, was the Democratic can
didate for sheriff. He made a wonderful
run, reducing the Republican majority
from 908 to 568. His paper was a live
coal during the campaign.
Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 17. —George I\
Pell, of Ashe county, is in the city and
in speaking of the report sent out that
the entire Democratic ticket, including
Mr. Bowie, candidate for the Senate, were
elected by throwing out a precinct in
which Tennesseeans voted, said: “This
is a mistake. Our county gave 416 ma
jority for McKinley in 1002. The consti
tutional amendment was little help to us
this year, hut we made a hot fight and
elected part of our ticket. Mr. Bowie is
defeated. He made a fine campaign and
deserved election.”
George L. Wellington, of Maryland, de
clares that wh'en he retires from the Uni
ted States Senate next March he will
still have one political duty to perform.
“1 shall not retire from public life,” he
says, “until I shall have accomplished
the political ruin of Louis McCoraas.
When that has been done I shall cheer
fully leave politics, and my task is nearly
accomplished, for Mr. McComas will never
go back to the Senate. I do not know
whether his successor will be a Republi
can or a Democrat.”
Mr. John A. Mcßae, Jr., Ropresenta
THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, TUESDAY MORNING. NOV. 18, 1902;
tive-elect for Anson county, loft Saturday
night for Chapel Hill. Mr. Mcßae, it
will be remembered, was at Chapel Hill
when his father, Dr. J. A. Mcßae, of
White Stone, was stricken with paralysis,
several months ago. and came home to
be with him. Mr. Mcßae writes the Mes
senger and Intelligencer that he will
be in Wadesboro several days during the
Christmas holidays at which time he will
be glad to confer with any of his con
stituents who may desire to see him.—
Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer.
Among the Railroads.
During the past year nine postal clerks
wore killed on the railway, eight severe
ly injured, and 302 slightly injured.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
“John Gregg, who is 14 years old and
lives in Principis, Md., recently saved the
Colonial express from going into a wash
out, and the Pennsylvania Railroad has
placed him on the pay roll and will give
him a college education if he desires it.
John prefers to be a fireman, however.''
Work on the railroad to connect the
property of the Whitney Reduction Works
with the railroad that runs from Salis
bury to Norwood has been completed.
Capt. E. B. C. Hambly says the railroad
will be extended further over the Yadkin
River.
W. S. Bradley, of Norfolk, succeeds
Capt. K. S. Finch, as local freight agent
of the Seaboard Air Line in Charlotte.
A new freight and passenger steamer
is to be built by Capt. Herbert Ward,
at Point Caswell, for the Black River
trade, to run from Cedar Run, Sampson
county, to Wilmington.
The Wilmington Star, referring to the
election of Col. Warren G. Elliott as
president of the Atlantic Coast Line of
Connecticut, the parent company of the
Atlantic Coast Line, says it is under
stood that Colonel Elliott’s headquarters
will hereafter be in Baltimore. North
Carolina will regret to lose Colonel
Elliott as a citizen.
Captain W. F. Williams and Mr. R. W.
Massie, president and vice president, re
spectively, of the Harnett Lumber Com
pany, which was recently established
near Manchester on the Atlantic Coast
Line, were in the city yesterday and held
a conference with Atlantic Coast Line
officials about freight rates. The plant
is twelve miles from the Coast Line and
they have built a broad gauge railroad to
connect the two. —Wilmington Dispatch.
General Passenger Agent W. J. Craig
Is getting out some very handsome ad
vertising matter for the Atlantic Coast
Line. He has made a special study of
that kind of work and the posters and
other advertising matter designated and
approved by him are extremely attrac
tive. Just now he is getting out some
fascinating placards catering to the
tourist travel to the South this winter.
The outside world knows little of the
rapid and gratifying agricultural and
industrial development of the country
lying to the west and southwest of Fay
etteville, on the Seaboard Air Line Rail
road. For this, in large measure, credit
is dul?" to the Aberdeen and Rockfish
Railroad; and its president, Mr. John
Blue, today finds himself distracted by
an “embarrassment of, riches" —for, do
what he may, he cannot supply the
freight cars fast enough to fill the orders
of those clamoring for shipping facilities.
These orders come mostly from saw
mill men, for the lumber business of that
section has grown to great proportions,
and shows sisns of a still further in
crease.—Fayetteville Observer.
The announcement that Col. Warren
G. Elliot was elected president of the
Atlantic Coast Line Company, of Con
necticut, is followed at Wilmington by
the semi-official announcement that Col.
Elliott, who is also president of the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Company,
will hereafter have his headquarters in
Baltimore.
Fell Dead Shot Through the Heait.
(Special to the News and Observer.)
Asheville, N. 'C., Nov. 17. —William
McKee, night watchman at the William
Whittam textile plant on the French
Broad river, five miles betow Asheville,
was accidentally shot and instantly
killed last night by William Bearwood,
a young Englishman. The men were ex
amining McKee’s revolver. McKee went
out of the room and before he returned
loaded the pistol. When he came back
ho said nothing to Bearwood who again
began talking of the revolver and took
it in his hands, touching the trigger. A
sharp crack followed and McKee fell,
shot through the heart. The jury
Bearwood blameless. W

cures Catarrh easily and pleasantly.
Cold in the head vanishes quickly. Price
50 cents at druggists or by mail.
Catarrh causes difficulty in speaking
and to a great extent loss of hearing. By
the use of Ely’s Cream Balm dropping
of mucus has ceased, voice and hearing
have greatly improved.—J. W. Davidson,
Attorney at Daw, Monmouth, 111.
Miss Wiggins Created Excitement.
(Bryson City Recorder.)
Miss Laura Wiggins, daughter of Mr.
Jini Ute Wiggins, who lives about ten
miles from town, and at whose residence
ther eare four cases of smallpox, caused
some little excitement yesterday when she
rode in town on horseback, broken out
with a full developed case of smallpox.
She came to town to get medicine for
her younger sister who is said to be
dangerously ill with the dreaded disease.
What to do in cases of accidents, be
fore the physician arrives, is toid in a
compact little volume “Accidents, Ill
nesses and Emergencies,” issued by the
Medical Department of The Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York.
This book is sent on request to those
who address the Home Office of the
Company. Nassau, Cedar. William and
Liberty Streets, New York City.
The book makes suggestions about
diet, ventilation, disinfectants, drainage,
and gives hints on first aid to the in
