If this district has got to, be
reprinted in Congress by a
Democrat, then we say give us a
man like Prof. J. Allen Holt. ' A
man v/ho fights above ground and
"‘hews f:o the line, let the chips

Prof. J Allen Holt is making

by nomiiiiiiing Woodrow Wilson
for Prejfiitlefit. He is getting in
to the 'Hrfie-light again. Well,
come in Prof, the water is fine.
The people knew full well how
to reduce the cost of living.
Elfect a Democratic Congress. It
never and we are inclined
to believe that it will turn out
tliat way this time. But woe be
uriCo the producer, who has been
living on the fat of the land.
Wh&t Will The Harvest Be.
i^ow that it is known beyond
doubt that the Democrats will
cantrol the House of Representa
tives of the next Congress by a
safe majority. The question nat
urally arises in the mind of the
public—what will the harvest to
>hi) party be? It is a fact that
Pwiaot he controverted, that
tiu reis^o unanimity of senti
ment in the party on the leading
economic questions of the coun
try, to wit: The tariff.
Knowing the great diversity of
01. inion cm this all important ques-
ti'm in the ranks of the party,
the Democracy over in our sister
state V^irgin’a, is preparing to
call a State convention of the par
ty for 0 p-orpose of formulating
a kind of i^atform by the means
of which it will endeavor to con
trol the action of members of
Congress irom the state and pre-
vem:them from supporting ariy
tariff law that has the least
squinting toward protection. The
Daily News Leader a Democratic
Journal published at Richmond,
Va.j in advocating the calling of
a State Convention and comment
ing on the diversity of sentiment
in the party on the subject of the
tariff remarks:
‘ ‘gome of our candidates though
calling themselves Democrats,
hiave unhesitatingly voted for
protection; and not only voted for
it, but boldly, or, we may say.
brazenly advocated it, and sought
to justify in public debate the
bad faith that was in them. The
declarations of the national plat
form do not seem to be of ny
moment. At least, they seem to
have no binding authority upon
or power to bind some of our
members of Congresj. The state
organization itself should_formu
late and promulgate its views on
this point, and those who cannot
subscribe to them, or will lut
subscribe to them can then be
called to order/'
Here at home in our own state
the conditions prevailing in the
Democratic party are no better,
and perhaps worse thun they are
in Virginia. Democrats havt
practically no platform in North
Carolina, candidates have been
writing their own political cate
chisms, and each has adopted
and expounded what seemed good
and expedient to himself, with-
out reference to the views of his
party associates. Hence we
have seen most anomalous party
conditions, and the widest di
vergence among men who belong
to the same party and presuma
bly hold the same general views
in reference to party doctrine.
Really if the Democracy does
not take some action toward dis
ciplining its members of the
House of the next Congress, the
tariff bill that the Senate will
have to contend will be a ‘ ‘crazy
quik" affair indeed, and the Viar-
vest a poor one on which to base
its next Presidential campaign.
Alright Then, But—?
Plugs are dangerous, whether
white or black. The negro pug
ilist, Jack Johnson, has been ar

resorted to long enough for the
brute to get his deserts. --News

[This is the same Jack John
son who made Democratic
speeches in New York during the
recent campaign. In the eyes of
the old unreliable he was alright
then, but now, well, that’s some
thing olse?
What Did You Do With Yours.
Richmond gave us a goose egg.
The price of eggs is high, and
the one we got wasn’t the best.
Mr. Taft had a 37-pound tur
key for dinner yesterday. No
wonder he is so fat, with such
diet. If he had sent that turkey
to the orphans and tried dry toast
it might have been more in keep
ing with the way the election re
turns made him feel.—News and
Observer.
[Wonder if Josephus Daniels
sent hi's turkey to the orphans?'
We doubt it. The time is com
ing when he will feel like eating
dry toast.

took charge and turned, the body
over to his people. Jacob Burton
was arrested and taken to Gra
ham jail to await trial.
