Under Democratic rule in this State there are fewer whiskey stills and barrooms than ever be fore, and there are more and bet ter school-houses than ever be forehand there are more aud bet ter churches than ever before. Will any man deny this? More children are attending the public schools now than . evei before, and the school terms are longer than ever before. Will an v man deny this? The death of Col. R. B. Creocn at Elizabeth City, on last Thurs day, removes the oldest editor in the United States, as he-would have been ninety-five years old next December. Until a iVw months ago he was remarkably well preserved both in miud and body. He was the oldest alum nus of the University of North Carolina, and was the la3t survi vor of the Episcopal convention that was held at this place in 1838. Every law pensioning. Confed erate soldiers in this State was passed by a Democratic Legisla ture. No Republican Legislature in this State ever passed any l,iv for pensioning Confederate sol- .diers. On the contrary the first pension appropriation for ouly $30,000, passed in 1885, was op posed by nearly every Republican member. And yet some Republi cans have the cheek to say that their party is a better friend tc the Confederate soldier than the Democratic party! The welcome and reception giv en last week to our battleship fleet by the Japanese government and people should banish all fear.s of war with that nation, and will no doubt cement more closely the friendly ties heretofore binding the two countries. In all the long cruise around the world no- j where has our fleet been more cor dially received. The visit of this fleet to Japan is very different' from the visit of an American fleet under. Commodore Pern in 1852, and the two fleets are fai different in equipment! The Democratic party has elim inated the negro from politics in this St ite notwithstanding the bitter opposition of the Republi cans, and yet some Republicans are now boasting of their party being respectable enough for de cant Democrats to join it! Many Republicans, who oppos ed the suffrage amendment, now say they are glad it was adopted. If they are sincere they ought to thank the Democrats for it and be willing to help keep the negro out of, politics, instead of approv ing their national platform which condemns our suffrage amend ment and declares for a more rig id enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments! Which party has done more for the cause of education in this State? ' ' ' : ; . Which party has done more for ; the Confederate soldiers in this State? ; ,: : ' ; Which party has done more for the insane in this State? Which party has given our State the best government? The above questions are respect fully submitted to all honest voters for them to answer at the polls next Tuesday. There will be five ballot boxes next Tuesday at every voting place as follows: 1. One for Presidential electors. 2. One for all State Officers 3. One for Representative in Congress. : 4. One for county officers and members of Legislature. 5. One for township officers. Let every voter be sure that he deposits all five ballots and that every one is a straight Democra tic ticket! Bryan may not be elected, al though his prospects are most favorable, but if he is not elected one thing is certain, he has given the Republicans the worse scare of their lives. Republican speakers are this straining every effort, even illhe members of the Cabinet entering -actively into the cam paign aud making speeches d ly in 1 night, trying to stem the tidv that is now running so favorably to Bryan. That was a unique and notable function at Raleigh on las'- Satur day, when was uuveiled with ap propriate exercises a bronze tab let to .commemorate the famou "Edenton tea party." This tab let was placed in one.of the niches in the rotunda of the capitol by the Daughters of the Revolution, a most appropriate address of pre sentation being made by Mrs. E. E. Moffitt, the regent or head oi that order in this State. Elo quent addresses were also made In 'hief Justice Clark and . Lieutou tot-Governor Winston. The "Edenton tea party" wa the occasion when, cn the 2j.1i o! October, 1774, fifty one ladies o! fcld.utou -igned a paper writing pledging themselves not to us -fce-aor wear any imported dressy until the odious stamp tax was re pealed, and it was eminently right tu 1 proper" that such an act o; patriotism should be thus com memorated. Some of the llepublicans profess that they are glad that our suF t'rage amendment was adopted, although they bitterly opposed its adoption, and yet they indorse (heir party's platforms. both Stak iud national, which condemu oui suffrage amendment! We have heretofore published. and commented on, the plank of the national Republican platform. which condemns our suffrage amendment, but we herewith print it agaiD, as follows: "We declare once more, and without reservation, for the en forcement in letter and spirit ol the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and h lfteenth Amendments to the Con stitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the NEGRO, and we CON DEMN all devices that have for their real aim his DISFRAN CHISEMENT." But some Republicans, when pressed to the wall with the above pl ink cf their platform, say that this is ouly a part of their national platform and is not a pare of their -State platform. This, however -is Mot true, for their State platform expressly endorses it in its first plauk, which is in these words: "We endorse the principles and policies of the Republican Party is enunciated in its platform at Chicago June 10, 1908." Notwithstanding the profes-sions-of these Republican speak ers and papers that they are glad iof the disfranchisement of the negro, they would gladly'give him the ballot again if they could, and their platforms expressly ,so de clare! " ' .-. ; With such plain declarations in the Republican platform condemn ing the disfranchisement of the negro, are the white men of North Carolina willing to place the Re publican party.again in power in this State and give ; that party a chance of again giving the ballot to the negro? . ' Answer with your, vota next Tuesday! - If Marion Butler is to be be lieved ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams is notjonly unworthy of being the chairman of the Republican State executive committee but ought to be in i the penitentiary. Our readers will remember that Adams had sued Butler in- the superior court of Guilford county for $50,000 damages, because Butler had published a libel on him, charging him with having been bribed when a judge in the Indian Territory. On last Monday But ler' filed his answer to Adams complaint, in which he insists that Adams was bribed and was guilty of gross corruption when acting as a judge. Butler in his sworn answer not only does not retract anything he had publish ed about Adams, but he swears that it is all true and seem3 con fident of proving it at the trial. Now, is hot this a sweet mess! Here is presented the spectacle of the most adroit Republican lead er in this State swearing that thechairman of the Republican State committee,' and the head of that party, has been guilty of bribery and corruption when act ing as a judge! And yet with the head of their party charged with such a crime the Republicans say that their party has at last become respectable enough in this State for Democrats to join it! Thu truth of history should be preserved. The Republican speak ers and papers have persisted in saying that cotton was lower in price during Cleveland's adminis tration than at any other time tduee the -war, and they predict that the price will be as low again if Bryan is elected. This persis tent statement is not true, and it is a matter of record, that cannot oe disputed, that during Cleve land's admiuistration cotton aver ted a higher price than during vieKiuley's administration! Hon. Fred. A. Woodard, of Vilsoii, has recently published a -statement as to the price of cot ton that should be remembered by very person who wishes to know the truth about this matter. We copy from his statement the fol- "Cm examining the prices ol J.tou from the year 1893 to IDOO, m-lasive, I find that the ISew 'iik prices for these years cover u" administrations of Cleveland aid McKinley. "'Cleveland was inaugurated March 1, 1893. The highest pi ice reached by cotton during the yeai vas 9 and fifteen-sixteenth cents per pound; the lowest price was 7 and one-fourth cents per pound. In. 1894 the highest price was 8 iud five-tenths, the lowest was 5 ind nine-sixteenths. In 1895 the highest price was 9 and three- eighths, the lowest was Sand uine sixteenths. In 189G the highest price was 8 and seven-eighths, the to west was 7 and one-sixteenth. "McKinley was inaugurated March 4, 1897. The highest price reached by cotton for that year was 8 1-1 ceut3 per pound, the lowest was 5 and thirteen-six-teenths. In 1898 the highest price was 9 and nine-sixteenths, the lowest was 5 and five-sixteenths, u 1899 the highest prica was 7 ind thirteen-sixteenths, the low est was 5 7-8. In 1900 the highest price was 11, the lowest was 7 and eight sixteenths. "It will thus be seen that cot ton reached its lowest price dur ing the years 1898 and 1899 of McKinley 's administration. Tak ing the average price during the administration of Cleveland and McKinley,-- we find that for the year 1893, the first year of 'Cleve land's administration, cotton av eraged 8 2-3 cents per pound. The first year of McKinley s adminis tration cotton averaged 0 15-1G cents per pound. "In 1894, the second year of Cleveland's administration, cotton averaged G 15-10 cents per pound. The second year of McKinley 's administration, cotton averaged 5 15 10 cents per. pound. "The third year of Cleveland's administration cotton averaged 7 23-32 cents per pound. The third year of McKinley 's administration cotton averaged G 27-32 cents per pound. "The fourth year of Cleveland's administration cotton averaged 8 1 48 cents per pound. The last year of McKinley 's administration cotton averaged 9 1-4 cents per pound. "It will thus be seen that cotton averaged during Cleveland's ad ministration 7 G-7 cents per pound, iiid -during McKinley's adminis tration 7 1-1G cents per pound. "The lowest average price cot tenfhas ever sold at since any record has been kept of its price was during the three first years of McKinley's administration. The prices referred to were New York prices. . North Carolina pric es were at least one half to three fourths 'of a cent less than the New York prices." Washington Letter. r From Our Heguiar Uorrioaiint. . Washington, D. C, Oct. 22. That President Roosevelt would quit . the White House, to loll about Oyster Ray doing nothing' no one has predicted but the in terest of the people, have taken ! in the future career is expressed in the almost daily reports of some new enterprise in which he is to engage in. The latest is to the effect that after his return from Africa he will, become .associated with -Dr. Lyman Abbott in the publication of the Outlook. So far the rumor has not been denied by the expert denyer Mr. Loeb, and it is possible that it has some foundation in fact. No doubt the President will continue to desire an audience only a little less than the public desires to hear from him but it is problematical if he will find work on any maga zine sufficient to occupy his time and vigor. The advertising that the Outlook gets from the report is no doubt beneficial to that jour nal and it is probable that lA will eventually have contributions from him but the idea of the President battling with the printer's devil and reading the manuscipts of poems on Spring and other ambitious topics is not in accord with the popular conception of his tastes and abilities. President Cleve land, it was said, felt an intense reaction from the arduous politi cal life he led after his retirement and in his own correspondence he lamented the inability to take an interest in the small affairs of life saying that he felt like a steam engine hitched to a mill wagon when he had to concern himself .vith them. How much more will Roosevelt feel the change, leayiug it after such a strenuous career and still. in the prime of life and ambition! It is probable that it is the recognition of this psychi cal state that has determined him to break the fall by a hunting trip to Africa where in the jungle lie will work off some of the ener gy that has for such long period been expended on Congress and the many reforms he. has under taken. To many of his friends during the last year he has de clared that he did not know what he should do when he "lost his job" but as he is not the man to sit dowii and weep for more worlds to -conquer he will be apt to do the things which come-to hand and to continue to do more of them than any man wo know any thing about. It may be that the accounts of his trip which he h is already agit-td to supply Stiilj tier's and later political nriif'es itr thtj Oi.uook u iv- MUljuv i,.s .ty i t "maiking timt "' uubl M ine thing moiu important tuiL.s up lor hi in to A . .

The citizen of Washington is a disfranchised resident merely. Nevertheless Mr. McFarland, the chairman of the three commis sioners who rule the District, told us this is an ideal .government, hath told the world so in Cha tauquau addresses and Mac Far land is a plausible man. But in spite of this assurance to the Chatuquas a majority of the peo ple of the District are getting tired of this ideal "saultily fault less, icily regular, splendidly null" government and are clamoring for a change The government is by a triumvirate presumably one dem ocrats one republican and an army officer called the Engineer Com missioner. These Gentlemen" are often at loggerheads and are fre quently shifting the responsibility from one to another, resulting in much tergivisatiou and indecision. The agitation at the national capital over the work of making more safe the public schools from lire and other dangers would be of little more than local impor tance were it not that it is being repeated in 'nearly -every city X) the country. Trie great school fire iu Cleveland last winter in which so many little children weru sacrificed to the stupidity and carelessness of the school author ities gave the first impetus to this movement which like so many others in this country is being cariied to excess in many sections.
