The Western North Carolina Times
Republican
Platform
We pledge our continued loyalty to Wil
liam Howard Taft, President of the United
States, and leader of our party. We heart
ily congratulate both him and the repub
lican majorities in the Sixty-first Congress
on the extraordinary number of wise
measures which, in accordiance with the
promises of our national convention, have
already been enacted into law. Our his
tory hardly affords another instance in
which the party in power has so promptly
made good so many of its promises to the
people.
We renew our allegiance to the Repub
lican policy of protection. The southern
states, and North Carolina in particular,
have profited by that policy in the past,
and have every reason to expect increased
benefits from it in the future. ,
We heartily approve the plan of a tariff
commission which, by investigating care
fully the conditions and the cost of produc
tion of protected articles Jin this country
and,abroad, aims not merely to put that
policy on a scientific basis, but to enable
all men to judge for themselves of its fair
ness and justice. Firmly believing, as we
do. that it is the best policy for this coun
Iry, that that no country will adhear to it,
we hold that it is plainly to the south's in
terest to send to Washington representa
tives and senators of the party that sup
. ports it. We hold that the south is shamed
by te glaring insincerity of Democratic
senators and representatives who, while
posing as bitter opponents of this policy
in their speeches and their party plat
forms, nevertheless show by their votes
that they believe in it; who seek to secure
its benefits for their constituents not by
the manly avowal of their convictions, but
by secret intrigues and bargains.
Out of the great number of wise and
progressive acts which stand to the credit
of this administration and this congress,
we especially commend their treatment of
the difficult subject of interstate com
merce, and we heartily endorse the policy
embodied in that legistation, to-wit: Reg
ulation of commerce carriers by a com
mission of experts, subject to appeals to a
court so organized that it will become a
court of experts. We call attention to the
contrast between this firm and definite
and sound policy and the utter failure of
the opposition to agree upon any policy
whatever in this field.
We commend jalso the vigorous meas
ures already taken to conserve our na
tional resources for all the people.
We also cite, asanother example of the
efficiency of the republican party, the ad
mirable work of the national monetary
commission in preparing the way for the
much needed reform of ourjsystem of cur
rency and banking, to the end that the
irresponsiblejcontrol of credit by powerful
and selfish private interests shall be
stopped and that .adequate provision shall
be made to safeguard the business of the
country against financial panics. We
commend the work of that commission to
business men, and ask them to contrast
the republican attitude on this issue with
,that of the democratic party, which while
loudly crying out against existing evils,
offers no plan of its own for reform, but
contents itself with opposing, likethe prov
erbial dog in the manger, every specific
suggestion that is made.
On all the great national issues our party
has proved its competence to manage the
government by adopting policies which all
men can understand. Our opponents, by
their failure to agree upon any clear pro
gram of action, have proved their unread
iness and unfitness- for the trust. They
are not even agreed on the tariff issue, on
which they have chosen to make their
campaign. Some are for (moderate pro
tection, some are free traders, some are
high protectionists in disguise, some are
for free raw materials, some against free
raw materials. To put the affairs of this
great country in their hands would be to
turn from the tried to the untried, from
experience to blind experiment, from order
to chaos.
We favor the reclamation of swamp
lands in the south by drainage as arid and
semi-arid lands in the west have been re
claimed by irrigation.
Turning to the affairs of our own state,
we have no need to juggle With words in
order to conceal a lack of convictions, or
to make use of fatuous platitudes, after
the fashion of our . opponents. On what
may be,called the permanent issues, we
need hardly do more than repeat the plain
language of our own platfrom of two years
ago, on which we won so great an increase
of support from the people.
. We repeat bur declaration in favor of
the most liberal policy concerning educa
tion that the state's resources will permit.
Our children must sail have the opportunity
to obtain a good public school education,
. Our institutions of the higher learning
must all be maintained; we favor giving
them such support that they may put with
in reach of our young men of talent and
industry the highest attainable training,
both general and technical. A great state
can make no better investment of its
means than for the training of its youth of
both sexes and of all classess. There is
' no right place for ignorance 'Jn modern
civilization. '- We favor the policy: of the
x ; state furishing, free of charge and under
proper regulations, to every child in , the
public schools all necessary textbooks "t
We favor an equally liberal policy with
our institutions of charity and with our
Confederate veterans. -
We believe in the dignity of labor and
the elevation of the wage-earners, and
pledge our party to the enactment of such
laws as will best promote this end. We be
lieve that labor and capital are co-ordinate
branches of our industrial life each nec
essary to the other that neither can pros
per without the other, and looking to this
end we pledge our party to the enactment
of such laws as will, so far as possiblet
create the kindliest feeling between labor
and capital, remove all causes for conflict
between the two, and promote the unbuild
ing of both classes in North Carolina.
We believe in good roads, and favor the
good roads policy, both as an economic
necessity and one of the chief means to
make country life the life of most of our
people more attractive. We hold that the
best employment for the state convicts is
on the public highways,
We again call for the establishment of
reformatories for youthful criminals of
both sexes, and juvenile courts for our
cities. These are reforms clearly demand
ed by the best public sentiment every
where, and in which North Carolina must
not lag behind. . nici
We denounce the extravagance of the
Democratic party in the management of
the finances of the state, whereby they
have increased the bonded indebtedness of
the state and caused a constant deprecia
tion in market value of our state bonds.
We demand a fair election law, which
shall permit every voter to cast his ballot
voluntarily, prevent dictation and bribery,
and make for a free expression of the peo
ple's will. The failure of the party in
power to pass such a law is inexcusable
Every advocate of pure politics is in favor
of it. None but partisan and unworthy
motives are arrayed against it, and we de
mand effective legislation that will insure
punishment of election officers who act cor
ruptly in the discharge of their duties.
In the matter of the state's policy with
common carriers and other great corpora
tions, we take issus squarely with the de
claration of our opponents which1? if it
means anything, means that all great com
binations of capitaljare to be destroyed
outright. We hold, on the contrary, that
much of the work of modern society will
continue to be done, and must be done,
by the great corporations. What is need
ed in tne state as in the nation is not
wanton destruction or ignorant intermed
dling, but careful and expert and just reg
ulation. We repeat, therefore, the pledge
of our last platform the pledge to set our
selves against two kinds of injustice, the
injustice with permits great corporations
ana ocner comomations ot weaJtn to prey
upon the poor, and the injustice which
sacrifices property and deranges business
in order that cheap damagogues may get
or keep office. We reaffirm our allegiance
to the time-honored principle of local self-
government and we denounce the succes
sive betrayals of that principle by our op
ponents, who long vaunted themselves its
champions.
We demand that our judiciary, and par
ticularly our higher courts, shall be kept
above the atmosphere of partisan poltics.
and demand that the judicial ermine
shall never be conferred as a reward for
mere political service. The sole test of
fitness for judicial honors and duties
should be professional eminence and abil
ity and exalted character.
Believing, as we do, that in state -nd
nation alike the policies for which our
party stands are right and wise, we invite
all patriotic citizens, whatever their party
affiliations in the past, to join with us in
supporting them. We believe that in the
south particularly it is of the first impor
tance that our party shall continue to grow,
ft is unversally conceded that the southern
states, by their blind allegiance to Tone
party, have for years deprived themselves
of the power and influence in the nation,
which our forefathers once possessed and
vigorously exercised, and which we ought
to have today. Whatever reasons may in
the past have justified southern people in
that course, they do not exist today in
North Carolina; and North Carolinians are
breaking from the control of outworn is
sues and prejudices. We welcome all such
citizens to our ranks, and to the end that
we may be worthy of their alliance and
confidence we make this declaration of
independence:
The Republican party of North Carolina,
a party made up of men who love the south
and love North Carolina, a party which in
the election of two years ago cast 114,000
votes for its platform, electing three rep
resentatives in Congress and carrying five
congressional districts for its electoral
Vote, utterly and emphatically repudiates
that notion of its character and function
which would make of it a mere machine
for distributing federal offices and electing
delegates to national conventions. We
proclaim ourselves a. true party and ho
machine. We need no dictator, and will
submit to no dictation. We ask of our na
tional leaders and managers the same
treatment they would accord to a Republi
can organization of the same strength in
any northern state. We invite our fellow
Republicans of other southern states to
join with us in this stand; and to our fel
low citizens of North Carolina, to our fellow
southerners everywhere, we again declare
our conviction that a Republican vote cast
in the south today is not merely a vote for
Republican policies and candidates, but
a vote for freedom. It is a vote for free
dom from the slavery to prejudice, for fr
I dom from davery to conditions and
issues that are past. It is a vote for the
right of all southerners to follow their in
dividual convictions concerning public af
fairs. . It is a vote for the right of the
south to a full share in the control of both
the great political parties and in the guid
ance ol the destinies of the American re
public.

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
It Is an Essential Part of tho Great
Gam of Baseball.
According to bleacher law, there are
three particularly Justifiable notlves
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed first. If he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at a
close point In the game; second, an
umpire may be killed if he sends a
member of the home team to the bench
when the player In question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear off
(an umpire has no business to be
touchy); third (and this Is a perfect
defense against the charge of murder),
an umpire may be killed if be calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There Is ample proof at band to
show that killing the umpire Is a dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun
tries have tried baseball, but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
nmhnhlv the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing is
like football without girls In the grand
stand, it simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king of outdoor sports was indi
cated forcibly when in the fall of 1900
the Detroit team made a trip to Cuba
under the management of Outfielder
Mclntyra In the entire series of
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares nines not one single ob
jection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision of the umpires. The
Americans did not know what to think
of it until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end of the series. Then
they realized that in their own country
It is the delight In killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure In watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the turnstiles. George
