WHY IS IT?
There are men In Beaufost county
who have worked and voted for our
present county officers, respectively,
for from Five to about Fifteen years,
nn-1 during all this time thepe workers
and voters have been "Good Demo
crats" and "Fine Fellows."
Now they want to work and vote
fcr other pood Democrats, and those
when they have served and support*
ed all these years, look upon and
treat them as political pnemie* WHY
IS IT?
There are o\e?* Three Thousand
Democrat* In Ileaufort county. pro
claimed by our present County Office
holders. during their campaigns, to
ho the highest types of Intelligent
A^'.o-Saxon manhood.
Xo.v ihe Officeholders, and those
v.-hn support them, practically declare
that out of All these Three Thousand
"nrc i'an be found to (111 ihe offices
?xr?*n? tho>e who now fill them.
WIIV I* IT?
A "id as year After year the same set
ct men continue to monopolize ;he
honori and offices, less than Two
TV, i-.v.-l our of Three Thousand so
to th?? poll:i, and no more go to the
rrfmaries, and our party is losing
urvtr.d. WHY I* IT?
Th* advocate? of scrn? ci our of
ficeholders claim that If they should
be defeated for the nomination, and
our county be deprived of their cam
ppisn oratory, the party will be ut
terly 1os?.
And y t. during our campaign,
while we have had the benefit of this
campaign oratory, the party has been
rapidly losing ground. ,VHY IS IT?
Some of those who advocate re
taining the present County Officers.
lay grrat stress upon the fact that
we cannot hope to hold the party
together If we deprive It of the ser
vices of our present Officeholders, by
nominating other good Democrats.
This means that if th^se gentlemen
sho.tld fail of renomiuation. notwith
standing th? fact that they have been
honored by the party for ai number of
years. lh#y would forget what the
Democrats of the county have done
tor tb-ni. and as soon as they are
separated from a profitable office,
that they would desert the party and
f-r nothing. WHY IS IT?
Ea? h of o lr present County Officers
cl'iim* to favor economy In the admin
istration of our county affairs and in
the spending of our public monies.
And yet. when a large majority of
the voters and taxpayers are In favor
of Cair .alaries Instead of fat fees for
Co.inty Officers, these gentlemen sir?
as *il*nt ** the grave. WHY IS IT?
During our campaigns the great
cry of the campaign orator Is, ' Pub
He office la a public trust." and the
admission Is made that those who
hold the office are "The servants of
the people."
And yet, when Democrats ask of
these servants to render an account
of the trust reposed In them and be
frank enough with tbe people who
employ them to tell these people
who employ them how much they re
ceive for their services out of the
money of the taxpayers, these Office
holders are as silent as a whole cem
etery. WHY IH IT?
During th^ campaign Democratic
orators declare that tbe Democratic
doctrine Is "Equal rights to all and
speelal privileges to none."
And yet, when life-long Democrats
who have served In the ranks, feel
an ambition to exercise tbe rights of
citizens and become candidates for
office, those already In office claim
that this special orivllege belongs
to 'Hem. WHY IS IT?
I Those who now hold the offices
claim that they have performed their
dotie. faithfully and efficiently, and
contend, that by reason of their re
peated renomlnatlone and Jong terms
of office-holding, tbey are serving
tbe people better and more sstlsfac
torily than others can. and that long
or life terms In office are for the best
Interests of harmony in the Demo
cratic party, and the best policy for
keeping np Interest ln the party.
And yet, from one end of the coun
ty to the other there It a restless
ness, an indltference, a desire for
some change, a lack of Interest and
a feeling of discontent. .WHY IS IT?

gat* or abuse up6n those who favor Issues the Dally News does not favor
but with a desire to do the right thing at all' times, this paper de^res
to sound a warning to the voters of this county In doing ao It has no

vance. but does so aimply in tha Interest of the people; for. aftbr all. the
people are the sovereigns and should have thfl say-so In things political,
for they are the one* to lose or win In the outcome. /
The Pa?ly News unqualifiedly rnd without reserve believes that Ion*
tenure of ofice In Beaufort county baa caused more dlaeenalona among
Democrats than any other. The Dai^y News believes that every official
holding ofllco under the people should do so at a certain stipulated
salarv A prlrate individual owes his employment to this *y#t.etn. and
why in the name of common justice, should not a public official bz' fed

"m t since these all-Important Questions began to be agitAtcd among
?tho ??eop!.> this paper has kept hands off?mum has been the word, for
the s'.inpl" reason It preferred the good people of the county to use Its
'heypava Jffid j
ltably. Tbe P'tl^JWi been felt a*id tho editor of the Daily
columns to apeak Th?v h*Vfl and performed their function well and creo
NVwa reaches lhe?#n< lualpa. tbit n .largo majority of the votera In Beau
tort A>uuty? favor two^qtfqp-officeholders and salaries instead of fees.
j'Thrtjr-fftVor this chaag^t Clause th<* have sense enough to know it Is
: riu r and proper
The mere fact that'-thp> jtfe*e^t officeholders have absolutely refused
to'give to the public sotoefri^Rh of the amount they receive annually from
their office, should be argunftnt enough to convince the doubting Thom
ases that ve are paying too much for thelf services.
If the present Incumbents were frank with their conatltuency and
wanted to "tote fair" they would come out from under cover and give to
the people of Beaufort county a statement as to the emoluments of their
office. Why should they refuse to do so. If they apprehend danger, the
precipice is nlready reached for defeat stares them in the face, dup in a
large measure to their silence and seeming Indifference. The people put
. them in office, they are the servant* of the people, yet when the time
cornea .for (hem to show-up, they sticlf out their lips, close their mouths
and remain silent. You just find out the best way you can. Is this Dem
ocracy? Ia such a course commendable? The Dally News says No?em
phatically No!, and calls on the good ?*ltlsenshlp of this county to repudi
ate such conduct at the primary Friday night. If they do not then the
fault lies at their door.
If their fees are large and lucrative they should have the manhood
to say ao: if they ar* small then come ?ut and confess the corn. No one
blames them for making as much as possible, but for Jthe sake of reason
and justice don't slip away in tho coruer, act stubborn and refuse a sim
ple request of those who put them there
"Two terms and salaries" should bo the slogan of thr* -leople at the
forthcoming primaries, and the Dally News believes it w;il.
Another thing. Should folk be given office for life? Should they get
mad and paw up the earth In anger because some other good Democrat
wants to get their persimmon? Just as good fish swim in the sea today I
as ever were caught, the contrary opinion of the present officeholders
notwithstanding.
Why has the Democratic party been losing votes in this county for |
the past ten years? Why have the Q.O. Ps. been slowly but surely galnlnK |
ground? This query needs no answering?the recent results In the conn- I
ty fully answer without comment.. Away with the fallacy because a good !
man is in offlc.? there aro no others; explode forever the talk we should |
k#ep the present men In office beam* they have filled their respective
offices well. Such talk is a stigma on the intelligence of tbe good people
of Beaufort county. No man ever did anything in oU life, no matter how
well, but what another could be found to perform the function just as
wol'. Hlstorj* so records.
Ye m*n of Beaufort county, who believe that the i>eople should know
what their servants;, the officeholder* receive: ye men of the Democrat
ic faith who think two terms ample, attend the primaries* and set your
seal of disapproval onvthe present system aud say to the world you are
in favor of a change. Tho Dally News trusts in your manhood to do so.
ONE YEAR OLD.
The Daily News is today celebrating Its flrft anniversary. ? 4
On August 4, 1909, the plant and goodwill of the Washington
Messenger began operation under its new management. The paper reach
es the first milepost In its history with no mlfegivings or excuses to ren
der to its patrons. It has endeavored to perform the'right thing, and
if the management has erred. It was of the head and not of the heart.
The paper from its first issue has'tried as best it could to advance
the interest of Washington and Beaufort county; how well it has suc
ceeded it leaves the people to decide. The paper has not reached that
strata a.' a journal desired during Its short life, mistakes have been made,
hearts wounded and darts thrown. They have not been thrust to Injure
or excoriate, but rather to help and aid, not only the community we all
bo much admire, but themselves personally.
This paper has a right to congratulate Itseh upon the progress it has
made during the first 12 months of its life. This assertion is not spo
ken in the spirit of the braggadocio?far from It. No paper ever pub
lished in Washington has ever been more highly commended for its In
dependence of thought. It has published the news without (ear or fa
vJr. All have been fed out of the same spoon.
The province of a newspaper aB we see it, is to give the news, and
the management has not deviated from the rule. With this truth as a
slogan we stand today facing our first birthday with a consciousness of
duty well performed and with no apologies to offer to A. or B.
For the first time in the history of a daily paper published In Wash
ington, the management announces the paper is self-sustaining.* This is
saying a great deal. Several efforts prior to the entabllshment of the
News were made to make a daily pay in Washington, and defeat was
the outcome?not so with this paper, it has "delivered the goods."
Right here the management dees wish to say. that while a goodly
uumber of business men use its columns extensively for advertising, yet
the fact remains, others doing business in Washington do not; why,
cannot be ascertained.
They seem to have the best interest of Washington at heart, take part
In everything that is oullned for the uplift of the community; yet. when
it comes to spending a few dollars In a medium that stands for Wash
ington's advancement and progress, and at the same time gives them
seed returns for the money spent, they respectfully decline. If every
butlness man in this city would only use the columns of the Dally News.
wL-t an influence for good and progress would be the result. Washing
ton would go forward by leaps and bounds instead of lagging by the way
ride. X ?>:*
The management wishes to thank Its many frtends for their loyal
ojpport and oest wishes since the paper began publication. It has play
ed no small factor towards giving the people a live and progressive pa
per. With the hope that the same good will be shown In the future,
and realizing that the best Is yet to come the Dally News begins the sec
ond year of its usefulness with the brightest of skies. Durlnf Its life
may Washington and Beaufort county ever go forward.
