- - - r" i II, A. I0KI3Orc, Editor. WEDNESDAY. FEBRURY 28, 1912. Roosevelt's speech last Thurs day at Columbus, Ohio, has at tracted much attention, although he disappointed many by not al-i lading at all to his much dis cussed candidacy for a third term as President. It had been expected by many persons that he would then make some state ment as to whether or not he would accept the Republican nomination, but he did not refer to it in any way. His speech, however, is con sidered a declaration of the plat form on which he would stand, if a candidate. He dwelt at length on the initiative, referen dum and recall, and not only fa vored the recall of judges but even of their decisions. This latter is a step farther than any of the so-called "Progressives" had ever gone, and naturally has created much comment. If such a radical step should be success ful there is no telling what next might be expected. It certainly seems a strange and startling proposition to allow the people by a popular vote to overrule the decisions of our highest judicial tribunals. At the risk of being considered old fogy THE RECORD most emphatically enters its pro test against any sjch innova tion. P. S. Since the above was put in type Roosevelt has formally announced his candidacy, or that 1)9 will accept the nomination if tendered him, which of course is the same thing. , This announce ment was made in answer to a communication signed by seven Republican governors urging him to become a candidate, and of course has created quite a sensa tion in the Republican ranks. President Taft feels keenly the effect on his chances for the nom ination which Roosevelt's an nouncement will have, and natu rally he feels hurt that Roosevelt should thus "go back" on him. The only conclusion that can be drawn from Roosevelt's candi dacy is that he and a large num ber of Republicans disapprove of Taft's administration, and of course if Republicans disapprove of it Taft cannot expect Demo crats to approve, and therefore his administration must be con sidered a dismal failure. Which of the two will secure the nomination? No man can now foretell with any certainty. Their contest will be a battle royal and will divide the Repub licans into two very active and hostile factions before the nom ination, but after the nomination they will "bury the hatchet" and present, a united front, just 3 Republicans always do in every campaign. We have often wish ed that Democrats would always unite after the nominations are s the Republicans do. When shall the senatorial pri mary bs held? This question must ba answered by the next' Democratic State convention, and in the meantime the ques tion should be carefully consid ered. And it should hot be con sidered for the promotion of the interests of any one of the four senatorial aspirants, but solely in the interests of the Democrat ic party, whose success is far more important than that of any one member of it. Opinion seems to be divided as to the best day for the primary. Some favor the day of election, others another day. and there are some good reasons advanced by both. Those who favor elec tion day argue that by having the primary then a larger Dem ocratic vote will be cast. This may be true and especially in those counties in which the Dem7 ocrats have large majorities, for they do not usually cast a full vote at general elections because they have their main contest at their county primaries. But it is argued by those who prefer another day that, if the senatorial primary is held on election day, the Democrats may be so zealous for their respective senatorial favorites that they will fight each ether (figurative ly) and not help the regularly nominated candidates for their offices. secure the nomination of a third term as President, and he was ; the only President who ever at temDted it. and yet Col. Roose veltand his admirers seem to think that he not only can secure , it but that it will be tendered j him without any desire or ettort on his part to have it. Well, well, he has always been noted for his extreme egotism but this last manifestation of it surpasses all previous exhibitions. This effort to nominate Roose velt shows the desperate straits to which the Republican party is driven, and like a drowning man is grasping at a straw. Of course it is an admission that the pres ent Republican administration is a failure and that President Taft has not measured up to the ex pectations and promises of the party. It is an admission that no other man can save the par ty and, in order to save the par ty, they must nominate a man who had served two terms and thus attempt to break the rule or example set by the illustriou s Washington and implicitly fol lowed by all his successors, ex cept in the abortive attempt to nominate Grant for the third term. Colonel Roosevelt's candidacy might seem very strange and startling in any other man (for nothing seems strange or start ling for him to do) after he had more than once solemnly and emphatically announced that "under no circumstances" would he accept a nomination for a third term. Of course a man may change his mindrand often times he should, but this is hard ly one of those times, unless he really thinks that his party is hopelessly defeated unless he sacrifices (?) himself for its sal vation! Mexico may yet involve our country in her internal trouble, The outlook is now about as bad and threatening as it was a year ago, when so large ' a part of our army was sent to the frontier in order to protect American citi zens and property. So threaten ing are the troubles there now that already some of our arrny has been sent to the frontier and orders have been issued not only to all the division commanders to have their troops ready to move at a moment's notice, but orders have actually been sent to the national guard (formerly called the State guard) in every State to be held in readiness to take the field. This is very sig nificant. The truth is the Mexicans are incapable of self-government and it was only the dictatorial, al most despotic rule, of President Diaz that enabled Mexico to en joy peace and prosperity for many years preceding last year's revolution. Although that revo lution seemed, some months ago, to have been successful, yet the present revolution has assumed such threatening proportions that it now looks like it may be suc cessful, and that the new gov ernment may be overturned. We sincerely hope that our country may not have to inter vene and take part in Mexico's present troubles. Such action, however necessary or justifiable it may be, would involve us in an expensive and unprofitable war, and the two warring fac tions in Mexico might unite in re sisting our intervention, just as a man and wife will unite and quit fighting each other to resist the intervention of some peace making neighbor. A recent bulletin issued by the United States Department of Commerce and Labor gives some interesting statistics as to fie farms in this State as re ported by he last census, taken in April, 1910. The total num ber of farms is given as 253,725, which is an increase of 29,088 since the census of 1900, and the average size of the farms is 88 acres. The value of farm prop erty is as follows: Land $343, 164,945, buildings $113,459,662, implements and machinery $18, 441, 61y and domestic animals $62,649,984. . The total number of farm op erators is 253725, of whom 145, 320 are classed" as owners. 107, 287 as tenants and 1,118 as man agers. The average value of the farms is put at $2,119, of which sum $1,800 represents the aver age value of the land and build ings, $247 of live stock and $73 the value of implements and ma chinery. All but 412 of the white farmers are native born, there being fewer farmers of foreign birth in this State than in any other. . . Ex-Gov. Aycock announces that he will open his campaign for the senatorial nomination about first of April with a speech at Raleigh, and that he will then visit every section of the State ' 'preaching democracy. ' ' He in sists that he wfil remain in the field until the nomination is made and has no idea of withdrawing. Demented Woman's Sad Death. From the Stanford Express.
