The conspirltors know that the law as accepted and laid down by the electoral commission was that "a sovereign state must control Its own elections and preserve Its own liber ties," and that the truth at expressed at the ballot box by the 109,543 majority of white voters in the state must be choked, murdered and kill ed in order that they might render themselves Irresponsible to the peo ple in the coming years and fatten upon their labor under the pretext of taking care of them. Though sworn to support the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, we behold the spectacle of the lawyers of the state claiming to De as ignorant ot con stitutionality as Adam was of geol ogy, or a justice of the peace of the law of our state, who never read the 12th chapter of the Revised Code. By the aid of a rope 50 feet long, an automatic machine now preserves our liberties for us, and puts in a ticket for Mr. Simmons when the voters back is turned who had asked for a ticket for Col.

'North Carolina is making rapid strides in a commercial sense, and as one of her sons I want to see her keep In the forefront In business de velopment. The best interests of the country are more to me than the personal success of any politician. Senator McLaurin has the right idea, and he is bound to win. I favor expansion and the Nicaragua Canal, and I am sick of Bryanlsm." Col. Carr some time ago refused the democratic nomination for Gov ernor of his state. He has given largely to educational and charitable institutions and the Carr dormitory at the University at Chapel Hill is one of the handsomest structures in North Carolina. The Charlotte Observer reproduces the above interview and comments editorially on it as follows: A notable Interview with Gen. Julian S. Carr appeared In the New York Times of Saturday and is re produced in this paper. He says he is sick and tired seeing small politi cians run his oWn and other South ern states and that he and others are middling tired of Bryan and Bryan- ism. It doesn't matter that Gen. Uarr is the State's most generous and most valuable citizen this talk of his heretical, "intolerable and not to be borne." It is time he were called to the captain's office and in formed that he must shut up or quit. The Raleigh News and Observer has been for weeks vigorously at tacking Senator McLaurin and read ing him out of the party each day will that paper now attack Gen. Carr and read him out of the party too? But he will not. The ass knoweth his master's crib. Ed.

And this chamber would ask as sessors to have in mind the Inequal ities for valuation and for taxation between corporate, personal and realty property." APPROVES POPULIST IDEA. SENATOR BURROWS WANTS SENATORS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. Itlch A REMARKABLE CHARACTER. Story of a Man Who Could Thing by Thinking-. Do AN OFFICE FOR A MAN. Correspondence of Chatham Citi zen. I notice that you call attention to the fact that the office of Immigra tion agent has been abolished be cause it did not pay. This recalls a little interesting history of this of fice of immigration agent its es tablishment and abolition. Some two years ago, when the Democrats regained control of the offices in the state they planned and schemed faithfully, no doubt, to re ward at the public pie trough those who had worked so zealously for their party's success. It seems, how ever, in the round-up, that John W. Thompson who had done much par ty service and had been ' without an office for some time was still left un taxed fur and there was no office left for him, at least none which would fit him. So, instead of hunting a man for the office they seek an office for the man and the office of Immi gration Agent was created with duties and salaries to fit John W. Thompson. . True,' the duties had before this been performed by the Commissioner of Agriculture and the clerk to the board as is done now, but it was at that particular time not so much the needs for an office as the needs of the man for whom the office was created. Now John W. Thompson has a job in Philadelphia so that he no longer needs the office and all at once it is found that it has not paid and is promptly abolished. While the office has not paid the state there Is another view to take of it: John W. Thompson has had tnlce salary of $1,000 or $1,200 a year and has enjoyed traveling ex tensively at the state', expenses. Ob&ebvxb. Washington Post. We have a man out in our town," said Mr. Georee C. Tomlinson, of Kansas City, at the Arlington, "who is a most remarkable character. Without any original capital, and though still under forty, he has con ceived and carried out some of the most gigantic business enterprises in that section of the country. He built a long railroad without any capital but his brains to start with and completed it during the panic years. He is of indomitable indus try, and has the greatest amount of self-poise I ever knew. Nothing shakes his confidence in his own ability to attain success in any enter prise upon which he may embark. But he has a peculiarity which is in constant evidence. He is a Hla New Plan to Prevent Vacancies In The Senate la Also in 'Harmony With The Constitutional Plan of Government, lie Declares. Washington Post. 'I have noticed with a great deal of pleasure," said Senator Burrows, of Michigan, last night, "that the Virginia people are suggesting the Incorporation into their new consti tution of a clause which will provide for the election of Senators by the people. This is a subject which has always been near to my heart, and I feel certain that the day is not far distant when Senators will be elect ed by the expression of popular will." But the Constitution," It was suggested, "says that Senators are to be elected by legislatures." "That is true,'.' was the reply, "and until the Constitution is amend ed even the Virginians will have to intrust the election of Senators to their legislature, but they can rely, of bourse, upon the ratification by the legislature of the popular choice. I appreciate the difficulty of securing an amendment to the Constitution, but when you remember that no less than thirty-five out of the forty-five States have already expressed their approval, by resolution in State con vention or State legislature, of the election of Senators by the people, I am encouraged to believe that even an amendment to the Constitution is not beyond the range of possibility." Senator Burrows will at the next session of Congress propose an amendment to the Constitution which will offer a solution of the Senatorial vacancies. It will pro- Appeal for Independent Party Tboag-ht And Action -The Best IlsaMaU of So ciety SboaM go Into the Primaries and Conventions and Overcome XvII or Have The Courage to Vote Right at the Polls The recent commencement exer cises In the state at all of the col leges were noticeable for the live, thoughtful and forceful addresses which they brought forth. Our at tention has been called to an address of Mr. Frank S. Carden, of the graduating class of Trinity College. Without attempting to dissect the address and point out the parts which we would especially emphaize or the parts which we might qualify editorially, we publish it in full without comment. To say the least it is worthy of being read and con sidered. It is as follows: "It is a glorious privilege to be alive in this the first year of the twentieth century, and it is a high and responsible position to be a citizen of the greatest republic in the world; to live within the bounds of these United States just at the time in which all the currents of a new life are pouring in upon us. There is nothing greater than to live in and love a great and just republic. There never was a time in which there was as much to inspire the patriotism of Ameiican manhood as there is today, and there never will be an age in which the hungering cry of a nation for a stronger, purer and braver citizenship will be more distinctly heard than that yearning plea which should reach the mind and heart of every honest and loyal American. The highest type of patriotism is demanded; not one whose existence is thoughtlessly averred and reck lessly proved; but a patriotism which burns and glows in every deed and in every action, one which is not a mere expression of love, but love itself. There is a false conception of patriotism abroad in the world. Let the drum sound and let some n.en scent the smell of powder and they at once become brimful of love for their country. Stump orators ex pound upon the greatness and power of the nation; young men don uni forms, shoulder guns, and the peo ple are ablaze with fervor and ex citement. The soldier is looked upon as the highest type of patriot because he has been willing to lay down his life for his country. Now, no one will depreciate the soldier and his principles, but there are nobler principles and higher degrees of pariotism than those which in spired the breast of your sleeping soldier. There come times when a com monwealth is gravely threatened, not by armies and navies, but by the silent and stealtly forces of sin ' and corruption. Then it is that volunteers are needed by the thous ands and the uniform to be donned is honesty of purpose and intellig ence and the weapon to be used is the ballot box, under the guidance of a deep Insight into the demands of good government and justice. We do not have to wait for opportunities of war in order to render service to our country. Every breath we breathe, every moment we live and every day which passes over our heads is teaming with rich and golden opportunities of rendering true and unselfish service to our country. More life and not death, firm believer In the superiority of pose that if a legislature shall fail to mind over matter and that the hu- elect a Senator, the governor of the man will is infinite in its capacity State shall issue a writ of election and power. I worked for him once for the choice of a Senator to fill the a few years ago, and he mixed as vacancy, thus giving the people the freely with the workmen when oo- opportunity to overcome the dere- casion required as any of their num- liction of the legislature and insur- ber. There was a telegraph' opera- ing the State a representation in the tor who had one leg shorter than the Senate. "In framing the Constitu- other, and the promoter took an in- tion," said the Senator, "the fathers terest in him and his infirmity. He arranged that if there should be a questioned the operator about his affliction and its cause, and was told that when the victim was a youth suddenly and without any apparent reason one of his legs ceased to grow, while the other continued to length en with the rest of his body until he was left with one leg about two inches shorter than the other. "I can remember that all right,' said the promoter, just put your mind on that leg and determine that it is going to grow, and I will fix it.' The operator asked how he could do this, as the promoter was returning at once to Kansas City, but was assured that it would be all right, his leg would grow. I went back to Kansas City with the pro moter and worked in his office. About five days after pur return he received from the operator a tele gram which read like this: " For heaven's sake quit think ing about my short leg. It is long er than the other one now.' " vacancy in the House of Representa tives an election should be held for a member. They also provided that if the electoral college failed to elect . . -m a O O O 1 a resident mat auty snouia aevoi- ve upon the House of Representa tives. It did not apparently occur to them that a legislature might fail to elect a Senator, and so they did not provide for that contingency. My plan simply remedies their over sight. It gives the legislature the first right to elect a Senator, thus preserving the orginal idea of the more men and fewer graves, more work and less talk build up and maintain a noble history, a great people, and a strong government. Laying the fruits of obscure toil and earnest thought upon the alter of service is a much richer and more acceptable sacrifice than the last red drops of an ebbing life. That man who puts more of his life and being into the life of . his country shows for it the deepest love,' renders to it the highest service, and gets out of it the greatest benefit. The United States is something vague, indefinite and lifeless to' too many of her cit izens. They do not understand her problems; they do not feel the pulsa tions of her throbbing heart; and they do not recognize that they are a necessary and vital part of a great and living whale. There is a false idea prevalent that office-holding is the : requisite for service and the badge of patriotism, that office-holders are the only ones greed, averlce and wealth are ruling the election today must be laid at the feci of American citizenship and no where else. Thai Clark and Quay are members of our most dignified and honorable legislative body U not so much a disgrace to that body as it is a dark and shameful blot up on the citizens of Montana and Pennsylvania. If we are going to let the glare of wealth blind us to our duties as citizens and seat its representatives in oar legislative halls, we had bet ter quit pretending to be free citizens of a free republic and acknowledge that gold Is our king and that wealth and not honest and Intelligent man hood is the supreme ruler of our land. The fault lies with the cit tlzenshlp and not with the wealth. Every citizen should feel the heavy responsibility which rests upon him and should know that If he betrays his trust for the greed of gain he Is a much a traitor as that rentlnal who sleeps upon his post of duty thus endangering the life and safety of a vast and sleeping army. Every citizen is a sentinal over his nation's welfare, yet many of them have slept through long nights of pollt leal corruption and are sleeping still, although the stars are gone in and corruption and fraud stalk up and down under the glare of the noon day sun. How can an honest intelli gent man remain dead to his coun try and her problems? How can a good and brave man remain indif ferent when there is evil to over come and wrong to be vanquished? Politics have been too long de graded by bad men; good men have too long held themselves aloof for fear of soiling their hand". They forget that the welfare of their country is at stake and that "when bad men combine the good must associate; else they will fall one by one an unpitled sacrifice in a con temptable struggle." It has been a long accepted law that preachers should not enter the dirty field of politics. They must keep their hands clean, must remain neutral and pour the oil of healing upon a politically divided congrega tion. If the preacher happens to touch upon a political problem some good brother of opposite views in the audience becomes ruffled and creates a disturbance in the - fold. In the name of common sense what is Christianity and when must we wear Godliness if it is too pure to be carried into all the walks of life? God never performed a great and noble work by any man who was afraid to soil his hands in the up lifting of any phase of human life. A sensible preacher has views upon all questions which concern the wel fare of his state, and If he is a man of independence and "action, and not an incubus on society he will express those views when it becomes his duty, if by so doing he drives every member out of his church and has nothing left but empty pews to preach to, and those pews will absorb more of the real gospel of service than a narrow and intolerant congre gation. That preaching which is mere thronging and not a projection of righteousness into every phase of the life of a people has a deadening influence upon civilization and dis regards that duty which "demands and requires of all good men that what is right should not only be made known, but made prevelant; that what is evil should not only be detected, but defeated." A great and good man who enters into every detail of the life of his country and makes a practical ap plication of his religion to our na tional problems is Dr.Lyman Abbott. "Where duty renders a critical situa tion a necessary one he keeps free from the evils attendant upon it, but does not flee from the situation itself." In him we find a love for God, a love for mankind, and a love for his country all combined into the unity of perfect manhood and intelligent citizenship. He does not hold office but his voice is one of the most powerful in our nation and his words are words of wisdom and un derstanding. ' Now, if good citizenship is to mean anything, all good men who believe In the same way upon the great leading, general principals of government must act in union. As Burke says, "No men can act with effect who do not act in concert; no men can act in concert who do not act with confidence, and no men can act with confidence who are not bound together by common opinions, common affections and common in terests." A man if he believes in his own politics must put them into effect, and this can be done only through parties. But the trouble with too many men in America to day is, they allow their parties to swallow them, mind, soul and body. They are not democrats and republi cans from principles, but by birth. They allow politicians to do their thinking for them and they had just THEYUILL FIGHT OH. A PORTRAITURE OF MEN WHO FORMED AND COM POSE THE PEOPLES PARTY.

In a recent issue of The Texas Mercury there appears the following: . One of the most truthful por tralteurs the American dulighu to honor is found in the following ex cerpt from an exchange which we take pleasure In reproducing. Read it and ask yourself if you can claim to be one of those whom the writer so forcibly describes a true Popu list: The true populist is the man who heard the groans of suffering human ity; who saw the cruel and unright eous oppression of those in power; who saw the burdens laid upon the weak, wnlle the privileges and fav ors were given to those who bore no burdens. He is the man who saw the blackened-browed man as he dug down deep into the earth from day to day and never bathed him self in God's blessed sunshine; never heard the sweet singing of the birds and never viewed the bright flowers; but whose life was one long weary day of toil and misery, and yet re ceived not one-half enough wages. He is the man who hoard the sobs and saw the tears of the poor sew ing women who were compelled to work far Into the night to barely receive enough to keep the faint pparks of life burning in the depen dent ones. He is the man who heard the plaintive song and saw the drooping shoulders of those who were compelled to dig and toll, toil and dig from year to year, and yet the earnings of this toil went to en rich some other man, and brighten some other home, while the tolling man's own pockets were empty and his own home desolate. He is the man who saw that the old parties were fighting sham battles over imaginary wrongs, while all these things went by unheeded and un heard, add the troubles were grow ing worse as the years rolled by. He is the man who had the courage and manhood to step out of the ranks of these old parties, break away from the accepted theories of the times, and join and build up a new party, a party to side with the weak and oppressed, to fight the evils and wrongs. He is the man who stood by this young yarty in its infancy, when its enamies clamored for its life with all the power they posses sed; who stood by it when its lead ers were rotten-egged and called demagogues, when its ranks were scorned and called demagogues and ignoramuses. He is the man who, although the clouds of defeat may hover darkly about him, and the storms of adversity may howl around him, calmly and serenely views the future; realizing that he is fighting for the right, he looks beyond the clouds to the sunshine, beyond the storm to the calm. He is never discouraged. Many times his way has been hard, many times the paths have been rough; many times would he have gladly stepped aside to seek easier tasks but ever duty would unveil her star-lit face and say, "tired feet and the oppor tunity will come with it, when you will be able to lift manhood out of the valley of despondency and place it on the sunny summits of peace and prosperity."

We are sorry that all who need it cannot get IU And they could If the office seekers and office holders would decrease their already high salaries, instead of increasing them, aud creating new office to take the surplus taxes. They always come around at election times and shed big tears over the old soldiers. Then they want their votes. When they get them, no big effort is made to help them. In fact, they are so afraid some of them are getting a pension who ought not, that they have changed the law at a big ex pense, so as to find out who they MBS a a - 1 fl.A are. rni is me omy xoouve in re quiring all to make new applications and undergo new examinations.

Senator Butler, while In the United States Senate, took the right step when he asked the Federal gov ernment to pension them. This would have helped the old soldiers and put millions of dollars in the South. And were it not for some hot heads in the South especially politicians the hot heads In the North could be overcome, and these pensions would be granted. It is fact that the great rank of the pri vate soldiers in the North would not object. But the few politicians here and there, whose only chance to ret office Is by a reusing sectional feeling with the old bioody-anm racket, don't care what becomes of the old soldiers and their widows, so long as they (the politician) can get office by keeping up the war prejudices.
