Like the scent of the rosea, the bad luck of Mr. Taft ltngera long. When. at the height of the Ballinger Pinchot row, he sought to crush Insurgentlsin in Congress by withholding Federal patronage from those statesmen who showed symptoms of the horrid Infec tion he brought down upon his bead an avalanche of scorn and abuse. And now, when he tries to undo that error by Inviting the Insurgent chiefs to tne pie counter and by bidding them eat port the nominee who w '' go to Wash ington pledged to carry them out. The resuu or the primary proved conclusively that- Mr, Godwin Is over whelmingly the choice of the Demo cratic voters of the seven counties In the Sixth district Mr. Godwin won the nomination by a majority ot 4,500 or more and the . State (Jommtttee thereupon will declare hira the party's nominee for Congress. Our fellow Democrats in the various counties ot the diatrict have spoken in no uncer tain tone In tnelr choice for Congress, and as a matter of tact, Mr. Godwn'a primary vote was so large that unques tionably It makes htm a very strong candidate against the opositton. There should be no thought otherwise than that of supporting, him at the polls on the 8th ot November. Any other course would be suicidal tor party principles In this campaign and prove a discordant and disorganising the purpose ot destroying or injuring his business. ....

The high-handed crimes com mitted by the Trust by Interstate transaction lie at the-, door ot the Fed eral government '.- A WEAK PRESIDENT. THE CAMPAIGN IS ON. The campaign Is now on In earnest. Our Sixth District matter has been settled by the will ot the people them selves, and all things look bright for the people' party, the Democratic party of 1910, througlioot the Bute and nation. f The National and the Bute Demo- ' cratic handbook have both been ts aued, and admirable work they are. "Happy Is the party now, for it prin ciple seem to be in a fair way ot vin dication at the polls. From the Stat Handbook, the fol- lowing article on the attitude of the Democratic party toward Trust legls- latlon will be ot Interest: . '-. 8 tits Anti-Trust Legislation. ' i(From the Democratic Handbook.) ?r Industrial and commercial monopo - lie and conspiracies In restraint o' trade, commonly called trust, which have always been unlawful have grown to gigantic' proportions and claim the world as their field of oper ation. The Democratic party, true 'to its principles and traditions, has fought and will continue to fight with relentless seal this form of oppres sion. The Democratic Legislature of 1907 enacted a comprehensive antl trust law and extended the rule of evidence and of criminal procedure la order to meet the evil. Every pro vision which was deemed vital waa faa- - corpora ted In the act of 1907 ex cept that known a "Subsection A," which make criminal u.e following: ."(a) For any person, firm, corpora tion or association to make or have any agreement, express or implied, to lower or prevent the Increase In price of any artie'e or thing of value which any person, firm, corporation or as- . locution may desire to purchase with - in the But of North Carolina." , When the Democratic convention of 1908 assembled, It wa thought that the law might be strengthened, and accordingly the following declaration was written Into the platform ot the party: ' "Private monopolies should be de stroyed. Conspiracies by prospective purchaser to put down or keep down the' price of article produced by the labor of other should be mad crim inal, and all person or corporations entering Into such conspiracies should be punished; and we condemn In ev ery form subsidies, gratuities, bonus es, trust and monopolies, and they shnu'd not be tolerated." This declaration of the party led to the enactment of "Subsection F,' which make criminal the following: "(f) For any person, firm corpora tion or association to conspire with any other person, firm, corporation or association to put dwoa or keep down the price of any article produced In this State by the labor ot others, which said person, firm, corporation or as sociation Intends to buy. This marks the farthest advance ever made In this 8tste in anti-trust legislation. Nothing has since trans pired to show that the amended stat ute is not adequate to reach the evIL or that the machinery provided for Its enforcement Is not sufficient The Democratic Convention of 1919 In the platform of the party, again re iterated its often repeated hostility to trusts In the following language. "Private monopolies in restraint of trade are Inconsistent with the growth and development of internal affairs of the State and the liberties of the i -"I'Ip, and should not be allowed. M e are opposed to illegal comblna- t ; n in restraint of trade, trusts and ; "',iva and favor the enactment t :! enforcement by the Btate and Na- t i :il Government of such laws as v.ii rnrtke their exlutence Impossible."

Only niter events will - ten whether that promise ha been nude la time, whether it will be conscientiously kept or whether It will go the' way of the "substantial re vision downward. Let a admit in fairness, however, that the president I honestly going to try to do better. According to the press report he seems much Impress ed with the gravity of the situation. and either is forced into, or volun tarily assumes, the attitude of a chas tened man. It i welL He has taken a long time to realise the situation, but he seems now to be beginning to wake up to the fact that the people of this country are tired of the domi nation of the representatives of spe cial Interests, and are tired of seeing them favored by the White House. He seems to understand now that the day has dawned tor the overthrow of the men who have been endeavoring to rule this country for the few, and that the next few years will mark a very important epoch In the history of the struggle of. the people against the bosses, an epoch into which we have already entered. No wonder the sleeper ha awaken ed. No wonder Taft ha felt himself slipping. The country generally has realized the trend for some time past and It seems that the president Is one of the last to read the handwriting on the wall, the message that ha been written in warbling letter of patriotic fire by that splendid band of men known as the "insurgents" in national politics, by Hoke Smith and the pro gressive Democracy of Georgia, by the victorious Democrats of Maine, and now apparently, by the Independent of Tennessee. The future policy of President Taft In dealing with these Issues, the most vital which now face Ue country, will have a tremendous effect upon the events of the next two or three years, and will definitely fix forever the pub lic estimate of the man and his char acter. If he is shrewd wmouKh and able enough not only to ride with the tide but to direct and lead the wave of reform, the people will be appre e five and will begin to feel that they t va misjudged him up to this time, r ' lR8t, that he has been honestly -n In his former attitude, tut ' :.:n nqw q I'.ttor c;r ;? cr ago. In a word, he was accused ot po litical brigandage, and today he la accused ot downrlg bribery. Secretary Norton's letter ot yester day contains a naive confession ot th ' President's first blunder. "He feels," say the frank Norton "that the -value ot the Federal ' patronage has been greatly exaggerated and that refusal to grant It ha probably been more useful to the men affected than the appolntmenta would have been. Even so. Consider, tor example, the case of Senator Bristow. A punish ment tor hi reckless honesty he was deprived ot all patronage and even In bis home tows a postmaster hos tile to him was appointed. What Kan sas thought of that petty business was plainly revealed at tne recent prima ries In Wisconsin the ta'.e was re peated. The Executive war upon La Follette made him thousands ot votes. That Mr. Taft will accomplish any thing for his party by uia new policy Is seriously to be doubted, tie adopt ed it too late.

There Is a constitutional means ot dtspo: ing ot ALL TRUE DEMOCRAT WILL SUP PORT GODWIN. It is Inconceivable that any Demo crat win refuse to obey, the . man date of the people a expressed In the primary in this Congressional District -m Thursday. In reply to Mr. Godwin's prompt offer to submit his claims to a . primary held within the district, his opponents- preferred an appeal to the State Executive Committee, even with the member from the Sixth Dis trict eliminated. .-The appeal to the Committee was made and acted npon. No sooner, however, dU the Commit tee decide upon a primary, and, fol lowing the suggestion implied in the proposition to eliminate the Blith Dls trict members, entrust the conduct of the primary to a committee of out siders, than objection wa made in some quarter to the resu'.t of .the very removal of the preliminary meth od of settlement which Mr, Godwin's opponents had urged. . But that wt take It was the effect of excitement and. thoughtlessness. It Is inconceivable, therefore, as we have said, that any Democrat win re fuse to obey the mandate ot the Demo cratic voters of the District a so overwhelmingly expressed on Thurs day; and we are bound to think that the statement contained In the tele grams from Wilmington to the Raleigh News and Observer and other papers on the morning after the primary, -cast ing doubt npon the good faith ot many Democrats, were the result of misap prehension by the correspondent No doubt Mr. Clark will promptly set this matter right in behalf of Mr. God win and the party.

Follow the Democratic Flag. The extraordinary primary- election held on Thursday by the Democrats of the Sixth Congressional district, settled the unfortunate controversy as to the party's nominee for Con gress. The election was held in ac cordance with the arbitraments and plans of the State Democratic Execu tive committee,- which acted as ref eree In a solution of the contentions of present Congressman H. L. Godwin, of Dunn, and the Hon. Oscar L. Clark, of Clark ton, respectively the nominee of. tne spilt convention held : st Wrigbtsville In July. Whether both faction to the controversy have car ried out their agreement In referring their contention to the Executive Committee for settlement or not, or whether the friends of Messrs. Godwin and Clark seed In good faith In the primary election or not the fact re mains that all side to the controversy sccepted the solution suggested by the State Committee, the ballot primary accordlng'y was held, and the District Democrat have registered tbelr will. It now remains for Democrat to ac quiesce in the final result and loyally and enthusiastically support the nomi nee Their choice was between Mr. God win and Mr. Clark, and the decision was overwhelmingly In favor of Mr, Godwin, who has already served the district two terms (four years) In the House of Representatives. Our fe'.low Democrats have now ciearly expressed their will, and, whether any shall call It "eating crow" or "acting In good faith," all Democrats should acknowl edge Mr. Godwin as the party noml nee, and vote for him In November.

Says'a Washington telegram; ' Unless Richard A. Ballinger steps down and out of his own accord or President Taft following a discussion of the ease, at the coming Cabinet-re union In this city, takes action, the "worst Is yet to come" for the Admin istration in its effort to throw off the incubus of Ballinger. ' , .-' Secretary Ballinger is not expected to resign voluntarily, nor ia there any strong belief that the President in the absence of a unanimous report from the investigating committee against his Secretary of the Interior, will ask for his resignation. " As long as Ballln ger is head of the executive depart ment which has charge of the nation's lands, mines and other natural re sources Mr. 'iaft will have trouble to face, for those, who are opposed to his retention and who believe that the Glavis-Pinchot charges have been sustained mean to keep up the- fight until they force the appointment, of another Secretary of the Interior. : Afraid to Whitewash Him Now. Four Democratic members snd one Republican Insurgent member of the joint Congressional Investigating corn el tee have signed a report declar ing their belief that Secretary Ballln ger should be removed. Enough Re- Qub:ican regulars bolted the meeting to be able to present a party claim that no quorum was present The Dem- jerats and the Inaurgent member, con- fldering that they have performed their duty .n attending the meeting ot the committee on the date set i Chairman Nelson, have Intimated that they do not consider It necessary td attend any further meetings, "The Re- pub leans are in a quandary. A ma jority of the members, all Republl cans, are anxious to vote in favor of a report whitewashing Ballinger, but they hesitate about taking such action at this Juncture, fearing It win re ceive the Indignation ot the country, They would prefer to bring, out their report of exoneration afier the Con gressional elections are over. But those who have been following the situation closely believe It will make little difference what these ab sentee Republicans report They be lieve Ballinger must go. it would aid the party in some districts If the Re publicans should Join with the Demo erat and Insurgent Madison in voting for the removal of Ballinger, but no one here believes they will take any such action. . - t.. ., The difficulty about condemning Bal linger I that such a report, while furnishing the President with a con venient excuse for seeking his resigna tion, would be directly contrary to the stand taken by Mr. Taft and his as sociates. The President held that the Olavls charges were not proved, and considered tnem as almost frivolous. Attorney-General Wlckersham called them moonshine and the ravings of a megalomaniac Other members of the President's official family insisted that Ballinger shou d remain. Now a verdict by the committee to the effect that the Olavls charges were sustained would be a serious reflection on the Judgment of the Administration and especially the Judicial determination of the President, who held that the charges were not sustained. Laying Plan for Impeachment Seeing no other way to Secure bis removal certain member of Congress are considering plans for, the impeach ment of Secretary Ballinger If be Is not out ot the way by the time the committee report are submitted to Congress. Unless Secretary Balling er resigns or the President forces his removal from the Cabinet there Is only one way in which be can be elim inated; that is, by impeachment. No other way is prescribed in the Consti tution.. The President Is supreme ov er the executive branch within the scop of the Constitution and the laws of the country. Cv;.b,..s, towfror jjivs t ry con- 1sm vlcil e-:sr cf tt Cavern- recreant officers, and that la by im peachment. The House must bring proceedings Impeaching the Integri ty ot the official, and under the Con stitution hs must be given a fair trial by the Senate, sitting as a court of impeachment, the highest tribunal under the American form of govern ment Two reports are certain to be sub mitted to both branches ot Congress by the Ballinger committee, one exon erating the other condemning Ball inger. Both will be pressed tor adop tion. The Democratic members ot the House ars expected to follow the rec ommendations of Messrs. James, Gra ham, Fletcher and Purcell, allot whom are considered good lawyers and fair-minded men. Representative Madison, the Insurgent members of the committee, ha the entire confi dence of the progressive Republicans, and If hs joins with the Democrats in their report he will be iol!owed by his progressive colleagues in ine House. - May Give Taft A-cnance to act. 8everal members have already be gun the preparation ot speeches to be delivered when the Ballinger reports are submitted. The course to be then pursued la yet to be determined, but some members already are considering impeachment Resolutions might first be adopted expressing the sentiment of Congress against Ballinger, should that turn out to be tne majority sen timent In order to give President Taft chance to act Shou d such resolu tions be passed and no action be ta ken by the Administration, Impeach ment proceedings could be Instituted. - When the Ballinger committee was appointed the Democrats and Insur gents were powerful enougn to torce the election by the House ot Its mem bers of that committee, and also to force the choice ot an Insurgent rep resentative. Mr. Madison. Those who forced the choice of the House mem bers by election believe that by com blniug. with the Insurgents they will also have the upper hand this winter, and that either resolutions urging tne President to remove Ballinger or res olutions of . impeachment . may be adopted. Shou'd the House determine to Impeach Ballinger, the Senate would be compelled to proceed with his trial. Only the House can Impeach, onlv the Senate can try. In cases ot Impeachment the Cnlef Justice of the Supreme Court presides with the Vice- President in that event it is ex pected that Governor Hughes, of New York, would have that honor, if such a trial ot the Secretary ot the Interior were Instituted. CONGRE8S TO HAVE 2 REPORTS. Says a Chicago telegram: The regular Republican section of the Ballinger investigating committee wl.l number six persons when they meet here tomorrow If Senator Soot as Is expected, arrive. Those, here today are Senator Sutherland of Utah; Con gressman Olmsted, of Pennsylvania; Congressman Denby, of Michigan, and Congressman McCall, of Massa- chusetta, Senator Nelson, of Minne sota, chairman of the committee, who called tomorrow's meeting will arrive tomorrow, . These committeemen hold that the report made public at Minneapolis by four Democrats and one progressive Republican 1 irregular. It waa adopt. ed, they say, without a quorum.
