I j i H f VOL. XXVII. RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1909. No. 11. I i i EDITORIAL BRIEFS The Democrat might make a hit next time by advocating woman's suffrage. The mockingbird is- not singing over "Democratic Good Government" in Raleigh. Hoke Smith says Democracy needs a new leader. Isn't there need for a new Democracy also? The Herald says that Durham will have a wet and a dry ticket. Then It will at least be a seasonable ticket. It has been announced that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence will be celebrated this year May 20th. Do some of the members of the Legislature come to Raleigh just to have themselves appointed a Justice of the Peace? If the Democrats were in power in Congress, do you suppose that they rould pass a tariff bill that would please everybody Since the Democratic Congress men are finding such fault with the tariff bill why don't they offer one of their own make? Does anyone know just how many members of the last Legislature suc ceeded in having themselves appoint ed Justice of the Peace? A Georgia man borrowed a friend's pocket-knife with which to commit suicide. You might rightfully call that borrowing trouble. Some of the Democratic members have protested against the passage of the new tariff bill, yet they have fail ed to offer a perfect bill in its place. We haven't seen the water wagon in Raleigh In many days. Is it possi ble that the recent municipal pri mary knocked them oft tho water wagon? The Democratic "bolters" in Con gress may have also thought that Speaker Cannon was a "Czar", but evidently they did not think their leader any better. In Persia the Reformers killed 34 persons in one town. That may be a good way to reform some towns, yet we would not like to see the fad be come popular in this country. In speaking of the discussion on the tariff bill now before Congress, a Democratic exchange says Demo crats are sawing air. Trying to live up to their platform we suppose. An exchange says that a Massa chusetts lady tears the leaves out of novels and eats them after she has read the books. Great Scotts! Wouldn't it play the Dickens with her if she should try to digest Haw thorn's. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, says the Democracy must have a new leader and he calls on Mr. Bryan to abdi cate. Wonder if Hoke imagines that he hears the people calling him to that position. A mass meeting was held in Ral eigh a few days ago to put out a cit izens' ticket in opposition to the "ring." After the meeting was in progress it was announced that it was strictly a Democratic affair. Aren' the Republicans of Raleigh "citizens?" The two Raleigh Democratic papers are responsible for the state ment that the Democratic authorities in that town are attempting to turn some mighty dirty political tricks. Durham Herald. They are the same tr' s that have been worked on the It.,, Vans a along: but, then, you kno " v are not dirty until the tricks are on other Democrats. v. It seems that the Democratic par ty has come to the pass where they have to watch each other in order to get their rights even at a Democratic primary. The Raleigh Evening Times on Monday afternoon, the evening before the primary, sounded the fol lowing warning to its friends in the party: "When you go to the polls to morrow, keep your eye on the other fellow."

Then he subscribed fer a year an which sorter put him back in gude standin' with me an' the ballance tv mankind.

But they hain't bin much passin' fer a week or two an' ve bin powerful busy an' hain t om anywhar ter hear anything. I reck- n he left a big family, didn't he?" My last letter wuz written on the cattle steamer az we cum over, an I think I sed sumthin' erbout bein' sea- sick, an' I mentioned that Bob had escaped bein' sick up ter that time. I wuz then hopin' that Bob would prove ter science an' the ballance ov man- tive a margin in the application of kind that mules air proof ergainst rates, as between friendly and un-sea-sickness. But hit didn't turn out friendly countries, it is understood that way. He wuz so blessed stub- born, however, that he didn't git sea- sick till we wuz over half way acrost the ocean. But, if they ever wuz a suck mule that mule Bob. He rolled and kicked an grunted till I couldn't hardly keep from cryin'.

But he wouldn't hardly notis me at awl. Bein' a powerful tenaer-neartea man, an havin bin through the same trouble several days before, I could sympathize with Bob. But he wuz not sick near az long az I wuz an wuz soon eatin' hay and other pro- vender.

" THE TARIFF BILL The Debate Still Going on in the House. PETITIONS AGAINST CUT IN LUMBER House Will Hold Day and Xlght Ses sions Two Members Almost Come to Blows Senate Considering the Payne Tariff Bill, but Has Agreed On Nothing as Yet President Taft Gives a Dinner to the War ring Factions. Washington, March 27. In order to expedite discussion of the tariff bill In the House, unanimous consent to-day was given that the sessions hereafter shall begin at 10 Instead of 11 o'clock a. m.; that a recess should be taken at 6 and that re suming at 8 o'clock the sessions should continue until 10.30 p. m. each day. The request for unani mous consent was made by Mr. Payne, who said that there were al ready forty or fifty members who had indicated their desire to speak. Protection Had Origin in South. That the national wealth has been doubled is one of the effects which Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, attributed to the operation of the Dingley bill. Speaking of the placing of certain raw materials on the free list of the Payne bill, Mr. Keifer favored a rea sonable duty on hides. "If hides are not to be made dutiable, then boots and shoes and leather manufactures must go on the free list," he said. "Why should not the raiser, breeder and feeder of cattle have the same nrotection on their nmrtnrts as Is given the shoe manufacturer and the tanner on their products?" Protection and the South was dis- CUSSed by Mr. SlemD. of Virginia. wno said that the protection policy, historically, had its origin in the South Senate Considering the Bill. The Senate finance committee is considering various systems of regu- lating tariff intercourse with other nations. While the Senate commit- tee has it in mind to give the execu- that" the committeemen don't favor the Payne minimum and maximum principles, and only a few of them look with favor upon the reverse of this proposition. It was suggested yet that some entirely new principle may result. Just what are the objections rais ed against the principle of the Payne bill which makes the rates establish- ed the minimum, and nermits the ex ecutive to apply a 20 per cent retail atory increase to any nation which faiig to give the United States the advantage of her moat favored , - clause has not been made clear. All of the proceedings thus far by the Senate committee, however, make it evident that the provisions of the payne bill respecting this adminls trative feature are likely to be dis- approved. Indications are that the bill will be passed by the House and sent to the Senate by April 15th. The oppo- Uition in Hi ft TTmisa tn Hi ft nut on her schedule the claim has been made by the protectionists that the reduction from two dollars to one dollar on lumber will give an advan- tage to Canada by reason of the fact that Canada employs at least 50 per cent Oriental labor in her saw mills enabllne her to nudersell the Ameri- can manufacture of lumber in this country. Petitions against the cut in iumber schedule are coming in J daily. If a vote is taken on a cut in Lumbermen say if they lose in the House they will carry the fight to the Senate. Almost a Fight in the Honse. I Washington, March 26. There was almost a fight on the floor of the House to-day when Represent tive Joseph W. Fordney, of Michigan, thinking that Representative Adam m. Byrd, of Mississippi, had called him a member of the Lumber Trust, said that Mr. Byrd did not know a profanely small amount about it. . . . . President Taft as Peacemaker. Washington, March 26. President Taft brought representatives of all the warring factions in the lower House of Congress together to-night at the first formal dinner at the J White House. The personnel of the guest list was something of a tribute to the Presi dent's capabilities as a diplomat and Fitzgerald, of New York, the Demo- Jcrat who broke away from his party I in the notable fight on the House rules; Representative A. P. Gardner, I of Massachusetts, insurgent leader j among the Republicans in the House and Representatives Payne, of New York, and Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, "stalwart" members members of the so-called Cannon "machine," were among the noted figures about the table set In the state dining room. The decorations were Kl Harney roses. The dinner was the largest the President and Mrs. Taft hare yet given. DO THE PEOPLE RUMS? Xot if the Democratic .Machine Can Prevent It. The Lincoln Times. The last Legislature clearly dem onstrated that the Democratic party in this State is afraid to trust the people with their own government. The News and Observer of March 21st discloses the disgraceful fact that the Legislature has appointed one thousand four hundred and thirty one justices of the peace in the State, notwithstanding the people has elect ed their justices throughout the State. WThat justification is there for this outrageous destruction of local self- government? Absolutely none. If the law does not provide for the election of a sufficient number of justices the Legislature should have amended the law so that the people could name them at the polls. There are threo reasons why these justices were appointed over those elected by the people, and only three. In Republican territory they were ap pointed to thwart the will of the peo ple and punish them for daring to oppose the will of the Democracy; in some instances appointments were made to pay off campaign obligations and reward the "faithful"; and in still other cases these appointments went to weak-kneed fellows in the hope that they could thus be soft- soaped and kept in line. There was absolutely no justification for this Lict on the part of the Legislature and many right-thinking men will spurn these appointments made in defiance of the people's expressed will. The most outrageous aspect of the whole thing is that the campaign slogan of the party that perpetrated ,?Ut;a.f!f-S' "!ha" pPIe rule." By their own act they have answered the query, "Not if the Democracy of North Carolina can prevent it." MRS. MARY FARMER IS ELEC TROCUTED, Woman Who Murdered Sarah Hren- nan Meets Death in Electric Chair at Auburn, X. Y. Auburn, N. Y., March 29. Mary Farmer was punished for the murder of Sarah Brennon by death in the electric chair in Auburn prison at 6:15 o'clock to-day. Five women and a score of men witnessed the execution. The woman left in the hands of her father confessor, the Rev. J. J. Hickey, a confession com- pletely exonerating her husband, James D. Farmer, also under sen- tence of death.

A battle is regarded as inevitable,! as the heavily-armed troops set out either to capture or exterminate the! murderous band, which since Thurs- I day has caused the death of six men, I the wounding of many others, and brought about a condition of terror, Leaving Henryetta at 3 o'clock with seven miles to go, and encumbered with arms and equipment, it was ex- pected the troops could not reach the Indians before 7 o'clock. Crazy Snake's men number about 200, all armed with modern rifles and plentifully supplied with ammunition. They had prepared for two months for this final stand against lawful au thority. They sent out word to-day' that they would fight to the death. Crazy Snake's band strongly en trenched Itself early in the day and was reinforced from time to time.
