Of all the reckless talk that is apt to precede a general ele ction the story widely circulated from Raleigh as to a general move ment of railway employes against the democratic party is more fixed with folly than any similar canard that we now recall.- Ac cording to the wiseacres, who about this time of election year begin to prophecy dire defection from democratic ranks, the rail road men are incensed because the legislature did not see fit to embody into law the request of a committe from the Order of Railroad Conductors that it re peal all legislation formerly had concerning rates and put in force the rates in effect before the dem ocratic platform of 1906 made its declaration on the subject. It is pointed out that there are twenty thousand railway employes in the state and to the ends of the political slate makers it is pre sumed that they have all been voting the democratic ticket. Then, in order to show that the democratic party is on the brink of the precipice overhanging ob livion, it is presumed that the twenty thousand will next fall vote as one man for the republi can candidates. More than a a change of twenty thousand be ing necessary to re-establish re publican rule, there is thrown in a defection of ten to fifteen thous and additional votes on account of the prohibition law and we have democratic defeat assured. "Democrats here," writes the Raleigh correspondents, "note the change in sentiment and are quaking in their boots." Why the "quake?" So far as is yet known it is brought about by the formation in Raleigh of a young men's "Republican Club,' the president of which is a gen tleman of good character who we are told voted . for McKinley in 1896 and 1900 and for Roosevelt in 1904 but who has hitherto been voting in state matters with the democrats and! among " whom was one railroad engineer. The McKinley democrat, it is under stood, left the party on account of prohibition, and the railroad engineer because he was op posed to rate legislation. And this is literally the head, tail and hoofs of the 35,000 vote defection so far as developed. Need it be stated that the Raleigh corres pondents are paid according to space? Seriously, h ow ever, why should any railroad employee feel, as such, a resentment against the democratic party? Many of them have been in the service long enough to remember the first great step ever taken in the state for their benefit when the legislature, by democratic votes and over the opposition of a pow erful lobby supported almost to a man by the republicans, enact ed the "Fellow Servant Act," the greatest blessing that railroad employes can receive from legis lation. That act, which makes the railroads liable in damage for injuries received through the negligence of fellow employes, is today responsible for hundreds of faithful railroad workers being in comfortable circumstances in stead of dependent upon charity. Through its operation the wives ot railroad employes killed in the service are left independent and their children are being educated instead of put to an unequal bat- tie with the world. That is one act of democratic legislation speci ally directed to railroad men. Another is the act passed by the present legislature, at its regular session, limiting the hours of train crews and "establishing, where needed in the judgement of Corporation Commission, the "three trick day" for train dis patchers and telegraphers. Both of these measures were urged by ram-oad employes and were granted by the democratic legis lature. They are two instances of many that might be cited where the democrats have legis lated, not for railroad . men as such but for railroad men be cause it was realized that they were subject to extra-hazardous duty; and because it was recog nized that upon them depends the safety of,thegreatbody of the traveling public. Could railroad men expect more, and would the party be worthy of their support if it gave them more? - As to the committee of railroad men appearing before the recent session of the legislature, they came, according-to themselves and, according to the statement of the railroads, upon their own initiative. It was presumed by the legislature, and it was doubt less a correct presumption, that they were appearing as citizens of the state in the exercise of their privilege of being heard by the lawmakers on pending legis lation. They were granted every courtesy, were given a full hear ing and several of the things for which they asked, and which they explained, were granted them. It is true that they asked the legislature to do more even than the railroads were asking it to do to put back the old rates. Is is not manifest that this was out of the question? And is it not perfectly clear that railroad employes, having expressed their opinion, are not a class of men with intellects small enough to suppose that because their opin ion on one point differs from the opinion of the legislature and of the democratic convention, the legislators are fools or anarchists? The very suggestion that such is the Tease will be laughed at by the railroad employes because it is too ridiculous to be insult ing. ' But it is stated that the ques tion with the employes is one of "bread and meat." It is true that they stated that the motive that moved them to ask the re establishment of the old rates was the fear of reductions in wages. Yet is is but fair again to suppose that these intelligent railroad men are aware that the reason for the depression in rail road securities and the falling off in railroad receipts is but little affected by the ratexegulation in any particular state. That plea was attempted to be made by the railroads and it was one of the causes that precipitated the pan ic, but it was not the cause of the panhc nor is it the cause the nec essary railroad retrenchment at this time. The panic was caused by gambling. Because the gam bling was on an extensive scale legitmate interests needing cred it suffered along with illegitimate interests. But because the lail- roads as shown by the . Harri man and other disclosures were up to their necks in gambling they bore the brunt of the shock. If the railroad employees will look" this question squarely in the face from the standpoint of political economy, they will see that the ; legislature has nothing to do directly with fixing the price of wages. It has to do FROM ROYAL GRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR BakingPowdcr ABSOLUTELY PURE with seeing that the public gets good service at a reasonable price from corporations trading on the capital of the state's sov ereignty. If, in pursuance of that policy, the state passes reasonable laws and the rail roads, by reason of stock water ing and other harmful practices, find themselves embarrassed it is with the employes to see that the retrenchment take place not in wages which represent value re ceived but in securities that rep resent the hopes of "high finance." We repeat that the railroad employes, so far as dem ocratic legislatures might be said to legislate tor any particular class, have received exception ally liberal treatment; and, up to the distribution of this latest cor respondential political fake, we submit that we have never be fore heard questioned the ability of the "B. L. E." and the "O. R. C." to take care of them- selves In the matter of wages. In fact, when the rate matter was first under discussion, we think we remember to have heard it plaintively repeated by railroad officer after officer that operating expenses were increas ing because employes were de manding increased wages, and their demands could not be re fused. Whether the railroad employes' committee that" ap peared in Raleigh was itself suf fering from the "panic" we . do not know. We have, however, thought it well to take the text of a ridiculous political rumor to suggest somewhat the funda mental relation between legisla tion and labor as we think it will appear to thoughtful men on both sides of the economic equation. Labor and capital must be pro teted, but neither must be sub sidized. A special privilege to either is a burden upon the pub lie, which also has rights. The Charlotte Observer is talking sense about democrats expressing themselves upon all matters of public policy in the party primaries. No other po litical organization in North Carolina holds out any hope to a citizen naving Democracy is the the State. high ideals, only hope of The temperance forces in each voting precinct in Hender son county should perfect, at once, a thorough organization and be ready for the fray. It is only a few weeks until the elec tion and we want to help swell the majority for state prohibi tion. Every good citizen will be glad to enlist in the cause, if he is an enemy to strong drink.

I wish to state I have, no criticism to offer on the action of the commissioners in putting the water supply on a meter basis, but heartily com mend the forward step taken in this important matter. With all consumers on meters the supply will be ample at all times. In fact, if practicable, the meter might be discontinued about tl ree fourths of the year. But the town should pay for their own meters. It has the wa ter for sale and should furnish its own measuring apparatus. There is" one of two things it should do: Have no minimum limit, or stand the cost of meters. The justice in this is apparant. Besides , citizens are not engaged in selling water. There are other good reasons why the town should not impose this burden on its cit izens. . Suppose your grocer wished to compel you to furnish scales with which to weigh your sugar, and peck measures for potatoes you buy. What would you think of him? -The same might be said of the meter system employed by the light company. S. H. Hcdgixs. HOW ABOUT IT? To install the meters will cost a certain amount. To turn additional streams into the reservoir would cost an amount doublu what the meters will amount to. With additional streams, there would be no. scarcity of water, and no need of meters, and the fact would be knowu that Henderson ville had water, plenty of it, for all. : The above is substantially what the opponents of meters claim to be true.
