c - list RALEIGH, N. C. THURSDAY, JUNE 24. 1909. VOL. XXVII. No. 23 EDITORIAL BRIEFS An Eastern paper says "being a Democrat is a state of mind." The New Bern Sun tells of still another brand. This time it Is the "Squaw Democrats.' Possibly Mr. Bryan wants to go to the United States Senate just to keep the other boys In line. The Democrats who rote the tick et straight next time will simply do so from force of habit. The Durham Herald says it favors free trade. This is still another re minder of the Wilmington Star. The eclipse of the sun that was to have occurred Thursday afternoon was called off on account of rain. If Democrats betray their own party, what would they do for the country should they ever get In pow er? Senators Bailey and Simmons have tumbled off the platform so often, no wonder it is easy to touch them in a sore spot. After all, it may turn out that the Democratic insurgents will read the others out of the party as they seem to be in the majority. Unless Simmons can get his old machine in better working order it looks as though he may retire to private life in the near future. The ten oil inspectors will begin drawing their salaries next week. They may have some other duties to perform, hut that much ia assured. If you see some of the Democratic politicians out late of nights roaming around with a torch-light, don't be uneasy, for they are simply looking for a new issue. Will Mr. Simmons go after the en emies in his own camp with the cry of "nigger, or will he try to fright en them into submission with a red shirt brigrade? Simmons and the News and Ob server have been charging each other with being inconsistent, and it ap pears that each have proven their charges on the other. Ex-Governor Glenn says that he is not out of politics. That is, of course, the way the ex-Governor feels about it, but he may be out of pol itics and don't know it. If the leaders in the Democratic party keep on telling the truth on each other, the public will soon see just how bad and unreliable the Democratic party really is. An exchange states that a poli tician in a Northern State recently committed suicide because he could not stand the criticism to which he was subjected. We will wager he was not a Democratic politician, as they have become hardened to crit icisms. Those few Democratic papers that think ex-Governor Glenn has such a hold on the people might get some new light on the subject by asking the Wilmington papers for their candid opinion on the subject. Do you remember anything about Camp Glenn at Morehead? The Greensboro Telegram says that one sign that the Democratic plat form has something to it is that it has brewed troubled. No doubt but that it has brewed trouble, and we will admit that the Democratic party usually brew trouble for the country but brewing trouble is not always what the country needs. The Statesville Landmark thinks that ex-Governor Glenn is to-day the most popular man In, public life in the State. Didn't know the ex-Gov ernor was in public life at present thought he had some religious duties to perform these days. And even If he should get into public life again he could hardly carry Eastern Caro lina even if he had no opposition. The Clinton News Dispatch, thinks that in the next campaign when the Democrats attempt to explain tha they will soon have to stop talking tariff and go a-fishing. Unless they could meet with better success catching fish than they have done in the past in catching voters, they may as well stay at home. True, they might take along a net and catch DEMOCRATS WARMING CP. Simmons, Daniel, et at, Having a Row Over a Slew of Pottage. The News and Observer is making it warm for Senaotr Simmons. We have been wondering what on earth was the matter with Josephus. We finally decided it was because Presi dent Taft had over-looked him In se lecting a gentleman for Secretary of War, and then we happen to think that he had the honor of addressing the negro students at the Colored A. & M. College, and we thought sure that would put him in a good humor and he would quit quarreling with his former chief, but not so, he con tinues to pull the platform on him, and quote from his campaign speech es. In fact, he seems to be going af ter him in dead earnest. Again, we asked ourselves the question, What in the name of Wil liam Jennings Bryan does Josephus want? While we were sitting in our sanctum thinking on these things there came a wireless message from Washington, which unfolded the mystery that we had been trying to solve. The facts, as we received them are that Josephus Daniels, and one Boby Glenn, has formed a combina tion and are rapidly at work build- ng up a machine to denounce Sen ators Simmons and Overman. The News and Observer is to be the great propelling power or engine which will drive the machine. The report says that Josephus is to succeed Simmons, and Glenn is to succeed Overman, and as Simmons terms expires, first, Simmons is to be the target at which the combination will first shoot. The charges preferred against the two Senators and six Represen tatives are their votes for a tariff on umber which the new Senatorial combine thinks is treason, and that they will hold up these eight gen tlemen to the Democratic party and have them tried, convicted, sen tenced and damned by the machine which the combination is building, and expect to have running in a short time. The battle cry will be, "Down Sim mons." The machine is now calling. him a Republican. If they can suc ceed in downing Simmons, Overman will also have to walk the plank, and ; they will make quick work of those six Congressmen who voted for pro tection on lumber. j No doubt the machine is now se- ecting its candidates in those six districts In order to get their sup port and the support of their friends. The fight will be interesting. Sen-j ator Simmons is perhaps one of thej shrewdest politicians in the Demo cratic party, and will possibly make the fight of his life to retain his' seat n the United States Senate; on the other hand, Josephus Daniels is edi tor of the News and Observer, which circulates all over the State, he is brilliant writer and something of a politician himself. He will be assisted by ex-Governor Glenn, who is a strong campaigner, and never knows when he is tired if there is any pie in sight. Glenn and Daniels were both strong prohibi tionists and were very active during the prohibition campaign. Mr. Glenn canvassed the entire State, while Mr. Daniels gave them a morning tonic through the columns of the News and Observer. Their prohibition record will -perhaps strengthen them by a large majority. Messrs. Simmons and Overman were also prohibitionists, but they were not as active as Glenn and Daniels, hence the prohibition ele ment of the Democratic party will stick close to Glenn and Daniels, a good deal, as the State went dry while the anti-prohibitionists will not support Simmons and Overman. Of course there is no principal in volved in this fight, it Is just a case of the outs trying to get in and the ns trying to stay in, that is all there is to it. They took the vote on the lumber schedule as an excuse to re duce these Congressmen to private life. They are starting up the fight early and it now looks like it" will be a long and bitter one. We will watch their movements and as the campaign draws near we shall expect both sides to tell the truth on each other, if they do there will be enough said. Something will drop. Clin ton News Dispatch. THE CONFEDERATE CONSTITU TION. Famous Document Now Rests In Archives of the Nation. Washington, D. C, June 19. There has been deposited in the li brary of Congress and placed on ex hibition in the Manuscripts Division, the original engrossed ''Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States of America." The constitution was adopted March 11, 1861, by the Confederate Congress at Montgomery, Ala , and signed by delegates from South Car olina, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. When the capital was moved to Rich mond it was carried to that city and upon the evacuation of Richmond was sent with other papers further south where it was rescued by Mr P. G. DeFontaine at Chester, S. C. from a band of looters. Mr. DeFontaine kept this and oth er documents for some years and in 1883 it passed Into the hands of Mrs. G. W. X. DeRenne, whose son, Mr. Wj J.

I hev tackled the Russian bear, the biggest ov them- awl, an' hit z givin' me a purty hard tussell. Tes, the bear iz an animal that hez ong had a reputation fer a mean style ov fitin' an quarrlin. But the little Japanese fox fixed hit, fer hit wuz too cunnin' fer the bear. I think I know why an' how the Japanese whipped Russia, an' still, I don't know. Ihev not bin ter Japan yet. But they tell me, an' I he? read hit, too, that the Japanese air a na tion ov erbout forty millions ov peo ple, huddled up on a little chain ov islands. They halnt got hardly room ter turn erround. An' they wuz an ignorant lot ov folks up to a few years ergo. But in less than fifty years they hev drilled an army an' hev bought an' built a navy that wuz able to whip the army an' navy ov Russia in the space ov a few months. An' they made a first-class job ov hit, too. From our standpoint the Japan ese air not Christians, bein' further from hit than the Russians. But the great ruler ov the universe must hev had much to do with Japanese suc cess; there must be grate problems to solve in the near future in that part ov the world, an' possibly the Japan ese air ter be instrumental in some way to us unknown. But the young man and woman ov today may live tre see what great events air ter be developed. In America we've had two or three great wars in a little more than a hundred years, one civil, an' the others with foreigners. Without them, or somethin' equal, what would we now be? They wuz cruel wars, they wuz terrible wars. But they blazed the way fer the progress we hev made, that we air makin an' that we will make in the near an dis tant future. An' Russia haCjimproved; is im- provin'. She wuZ.8le.some big, bur ly ruffians we all know. She was con scious ov her strength, her power, but didn't know her own weakness. Her people were strong physically, strong n numbers. But they lacked that quality called patriotism. Her of ficers lacked much in the same quali ties. They would not lead and the men would not follow. In many, if the truth wuz told, the Russian of ficers, army and navy, an' even the soldiers an' sailors on the warships, were drunk at critical periods durin' the short war. Then, too, Russia iz an Immense country with but few railroads, badly managed. They could not recruit the army rapidly under such circumstances.

Every man knew hiz place. an'Jlruz in hit. When the first clash came5 hit wuz soon over, an' the boasted Russian navy wuz mostly at the bottom ov the sea. A few months ater the remnants ov the Russian: army wuz in mad retreat toward St. Petersburg with Japanese soldiers in pursuit, pouring in a deadly fire at every turn in the roads. The little Japanese soldiers only averaged a little more than five feet in height, but they wuz human hornets. Every time a Japanese gun would fire, awl most, down would go a big Russian soldier. It didn't last, it couldn't hev lasted, long. But, az I sed before, hit will be the makin' ov Russia. They air be havin better, treatin' other people better. At one time a stranger, a foreigner, couldn't hardly get thru Russia, even with a passport, fer their laws an' rules wuz such that every stranger frum a foreign land wuz looked upon with suspicion, wuz watched constantly by Govern ment spies. To-day they air glad ter see strangers an', the spy system hez bin toned down till yon hardly nQtis hit.

Brownlow. of Tennessee has returned to-day from a visit to his District. To-day he is telling friends at the Capitol this story which Is greatly enjoyed by the Democrats: "At Culpepper, Va., last Saturday, two . new passengers boarded the train. They looked like professional gentlemen. They wore clean shirts and were well shaved. They must have been Democrats from their conversation, for they .were not ex cessively sanguine about any sub ject. I could not help over-hearing them. " 'I hear, said one of them, 'that Bryan will not run? for Senator, but that he has decided to enter the min istry. I trust this Is true. My Bry an is a good and pure man. With his wonderful oratory he ought to convert many persons.' " I don't know about that, said the other. 'I admit he is all you say he is, but if he should do for the plan of salvation what he has al ready done for the Democratic par ty, we would be in a h of a fix. " FAYETTEVILLE CELEBRATES.

The cele bration has been a magnificent suc cess in every way. , DON'T BELIEVE IN DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The Row in the Party Will Hardly Bring Abont a Congenial Associa tion. High Point Enterprise. If the sub-strata of feeling in the Democratic party keeps up in North Carolina there will be a new align ment, new deal or something that will bring about a congenial asso ciation. Now and then there is an eruption which discloses trouble be neath thesurf ace. It is very appar ent, already that . many Democratic leaders and office-holders in the State do not believe in the Demo cratic platform. The action of our Representatives In Congress has demonstrated this. The next move is to find out which side the people are on. The test is coming and it is not far off. Captured Large Distillery Near Church in Guilford County. Revenue officers captured a very large distillery in Guilford County Friday. The Greensboro Telegram gives the following account of the raid: "Yesterday morning Revenue Of ficers S. Kirkpatrick and B. F. Ad kin went out in Sumner Township and raided a blockade still of some one hundred gallons capacity.' Two men were working at the still when the officers approached, the plant be ing in full operation. However, the men ran for dear life and escaped Immediate arrest. The officers state that they know, the men and that they will be arrested later. "The raid was one of the biggest ever made in Guilford County. In addition to the huge copper still of one hundred gallons capacity, the officers destroyed fourteen fermen ters and poured out on the ground about twelve hundred gallons of beer. In addition there were several bushels of meal. There were about twenty gallons of low wines, and this was also poured out. "The blockading plant 'was locat ed on the land of Mr. John H. Fields, who lives near Bethlehem church, the distillery being not far from the church." Fishermen Catch a Big Sea Devil After Exciting Fight. Manzanito Correspondence Mexican Herald. After having been dragged several miles out to sea in a fishing boat, which was in turn aided by a small gasoline launch, by an enormous sea devil which they had harpooned near the mouth of the bay, three Ameri cans yesterday afternoon succeeded in landing the largest specimen of the ray family of fish ever seen here. The monster measured nearly 30 feet from tip to tip of its enormous flappers and was alleged to weigh slightly less than, a ton. Its mandl bles which were tightly closed, meas ured a metre and fifteen centimeters across. Democrats Fell Down Again. Again it was left for a progressive Republican to lead the fight in the Senate for a necessary revision of the tariff. It was Senator Brown, of Nebraska, a Republican, who on Thursday made a telling - speech in favor' of free wood pulp and paper, and not a Democrat as It should have been. Our Democratic Sena tors should wake up. Greensboro A CORPORATION TAX An Important Conference Held at the White House. A NEW LUHXR SCHEDULE A Duty of Fifteen Per Cent on Hides Agreed on by the Senate Snutor Bailey Again Repudiate the IX" li ver Platform Free Paper Voted Down in the Senate Taylor Taken Position Against Free Raw Mate rial. Washington, June 22. Details of the proposed measure for the taxa tion of net earnings of corporations were arranged to-night at the most Important conference that has been held at the White House since Mr. Taft assumed the Presidency. There were present as the Presi dent's guests at dinner Attorney General Wickersham and Senator Root, who are charged with the task of drafting the measure; Secretary of State Knox, Senators Aldrlch, Burrows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, Flint, Smoot, McCumber and Lodge, constituting the Republican member ship of the Senate Finance Commit tee; Speaker Cannon, Representative Payne, Chairman of the House Com mitee on Ways and Means, and Rep resentative John Dwlght, of New York. For two hours after the dinner the corporation tax measure, which had been prepared in the form of an amendment to the tariff bill, was viewed from every angle. The terms of the measure as final ly agred upon, although not yet whipped into form, provide that all corporations having capital stock and organized for profit shall pay a tax of 2 per cent upon their net earnings.- Corporations coming within the designation will be compelled to make returns to specially named agents of the Bureau of Internal Revenue of the Treasury Depart ment, giving the amount of their gross indebtedness and all other vis ible debts. Separated from these re turns the corporations will be com pelled to report the amount of their receipts, after deducting their gen eral and ordinary running expenses, interest on bonds up to the amount of the capital stock of the corpora tion, interest on notes and other forms of tangible indebtedness, and any actual loss that may have been incurred in business, which loss was not made up by insurance, salvage! or other form of return. New Lumber Schedule. Washington, D. C, June 22. Late to-day the Senate reached the voting stage on the hide schedule, and after several amendments had been defeated, the amendment of the Finance Committee fixing a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on hides was agreed to, 46 to 30. This is the rate of the present law, but under the rulings of the Treasury Department is applicable only to hides weighing more than 25 pounds. The House placed all hides on the free list, but the committee restored the Dingley policy by adding them to the non dutiable 'list. The Senate sustained its committee. Just before adjournment at seven o'clock Senator Aldrich, on behalf of the Finance Committee, presented the committee's new lumber schedule and also a number of amendment re lating to linoleum and oil cloth. The committee proposed a rate of $1.50 per thousand on sawed lumber, which is a 50 cents Increase over the House rate. Neither the lumber nor linoleum schedule were acted upon. One of the failures of the day was a speech by Senator Bob Taylor, of Tennessee. Mr. Taylor pleaded for a tariff for revenue and took a de cided position against free raw ma terial. Simmons Not For Tariff Reform. Washington, D. C, June 18. For the second time since the inaugura tion of the tariff debate Senator Bailey has openly announced his in tention of bolting the platform of his party adopted at Denver. To day he took a decided stand against the proposal to put wood pulp and print paper on the free list and later when called upon to vote went on record as opposed to the amendment of Senator Brown, of Nebraska, to make print paper free and also as opposed . to the amendment of Sen ator Stone, of Missouri, to make both print paper and wood pulp free. Ridiculed Democratic Platform. Senator Bailey a few days ago vot ed against free lumber and intimated that those who put into the Demo cratic platform the plank declaring for free lumber did not know what they were about. He said they had demanded that logs be put on the free list when logs were already on the free list. "As I was not willing to follow the platform in respect to free lumber said the Texan this afternoon, "nelth er will I follow it in respect to wood pulp and print paper." Mr. Bailey said that if all the ta riff on paper and pulp were removed it would remit f 700,000 in revenue! which the Government now collects and the people who would be benefit ed constitute a small, particular Repeating hU stricture against the platform committee of the Na tional Democratic Caaveotloa at Denver. Mr. Bailey said: "I am cot willl tst to be bound by a contention of delegates who aaaeta bie In a room without aay k cowl ed pe of thi Question. Senator Dnle!, of Virginia, de fended his course on the tariff bill and deprecated the introduction to the Senate of such controversies as the interview with Mr. Lamb, of In diana, as read by Mr. Johnson. I a that Interview Mr. Lamb was quoted as saying that he was not surprised that Senators Simmons, of North Car olina; Daniel, of Virginia, and New lands, of Nevada, were "lining up on the tariff question with Republicans In the Senate as they had led the fight in the Committee on Resolu tions of the National Democratic Convention against the tariff reform planks which were adopted." Mr. Lamb said the Democratic platform had demanded a repeal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber and logs and that there was "no excuse for any man who pretends to be a Democrat" to vote against putting them on the free list. Senator Simmons, referring to the same publication, said he wanted to deal fairly with all sections of the country and to "so reduce duties as to gradually get back to the revenue basis." Previous to this discussion a vote had been taken on Senator Brown's amendment providing for the free importation of print paper, and it was defeated by a vote of 29 to 52. ARMED MAN TO SKK TAFT. Westerner Who Tried to Enter the White House Was Arrested. Washington, D. C, June 17. When President Taft left the White House this afternoon for a ride in the country a tall, raw-boned Wes terner stood in the shadow of one of the big maples and watched him. When the big touring car whirled out of sight the man walked up to the front door of the Executive Man sion and demanded admission. His actions attracted the attention of the police and he was arrested. When taken to the First Precinct Station and searched a big Colt's re volver and a belt filled with 44-cali-ber steel bullets were found in his possession. The man said he was Col. James Strickling, of Roseberry, Ark., and that he was in Washington "for a purpose." "I don't intend to divulge my bus iness," he said. "I came here to see the President that I might talk over matters with him. I shall go back to the White House when I get out of this station house and wait for Mr. Taft to return. I am. here for a pur pose, and that's all I mean to say." The police surgeons examined the man and he was committed to St. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum. Police man John Lea vail, of the White House staff, arrested the man. He says he saw the carriage belt on the man and decided that, as his actions were singular, to say the least, he would be safer behind bars. STATES MAY ASK FOR ANOTHER AMENDMENT. A Petition From Four More Would Call a Constitutional Convention to Change Mode of Electing Sen ators. Washington, D. C, June 18. Al though President Taft has recom mended that steps be taken to sub mit to the people the question of whether a Sixteenth Amendment shall be added to the Constitution, the venerable Instrument is In dan ger of attack from another quarter. It is not generally known that twenty-seven States have formally peti tioned Congress, through legislative resolutions, to convene a constitu tional convention to bring about di rect election of Senator. If four more States, or two-thirds in-all, shall ask for. such a conven tion, it must be called. The States already on record are Arkansas, Cal ifornia Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Il linois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, North Ca rolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsyl vania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Been Transformed in Their Eye. Clinton News-Dispatch. . Before the lection the Democrats were cussing, foaming and frothing at .the mouth over Taffs religion. they would almost have had you to believe that he was a demon heading for the lower regions, but. since he appointed Connor to the Judgeship, he has. In the estimation of some Democrats, been transformed into an angel of light. - Why Did He Vote for It? Clinton News-Dispatch. And now, Senator Overman, who only a "few "days ago voted for the Aldrich tariff bill, is up on bis hind legs denouncing the same bill as the most unjust tariff bill ever passed by Congress. If that is true. Sen ator, please tell ns why you voted for it. - Since Mr. 1 Overman has heard what they have said about Mr. Sim mons, perhaps he thought it would be best for him to denounce the thing, even if he did vote for It. r.iOREHEAOFQR GOV.

D. C, June 33, lief. Special to The Caucaaiaa: The one topic ot diacuaaloa here among the la rill makers for the laal few days has been the new scheme for levying a 2 per ceut lax upou the net income of corporations. At first, the proportion met with some favor, but day aftr day objection aftr ob jection has arlaeu of more or lea se rious nature to this new aod untried scheme of taxation. It ia belug crit icised by the press of the. country and has met with much leas favor among Congressmen than was anticipated. Some ot the leading objection, briefly stated, are as follow a: (1) That this tax on over a mil lion corporations would bear very unequally upon them. (2) That the amount ot bonds is sued by every corporation varied dif ferently in relation to the amount of ita stock, and that under tola tax every stockholder would be taxed while every bond-holder .would get the full amount due on his bonds and be exempt from this tax. (3) That this would require a uni form system of book-keeping with all corporations, which is practically Impossible. ( 4 ) That it would require some government regulation as to the amount of money paid for salaries and for other purposes that would be Included in fixed charges, and thus eat up all the net dividends. (5) That It would encouraga cor porations to have less stock and lar ger bonded capital, unless they were all overhauled and regulated as to the amount of their stock and bonds by the government. (6) That It finally would put a tax upon a corporation doing any kind of business, while a co-partnership or Individual running a similar busi ness side by side would be exempt entirely from taxation. (7) That It would force a corpora tion to make public Its business for the benefit of Its rivals .who might not be Incorporated. (8) That there would be a thou sand ways of evading the tax which such a law would encourage. These are only a few of the ob jections that one hears every day and the number continue to multiply. Finally, the objection that all, who favor a downward revision ot the tariff, also make, is that If the Aldrlch bill had some of Its prohibi tive rates lowered that the tariff bill Itself would raise sufficient revenue without forcing the country to sub mit to a new and additional form of taxation. This new tax scheme will probably prolong the extra session a month or more, and, in fact, the end is no where in sight yet. It Is thought that the new tax scheme may be put through the Senate, but that It will never be acceped by the House. It will be remembered that the House had an inheritance tax provision In Its bill, and It may be that the Sen ate will yield to the Htfuse and agree to the Inheritance tax, or it may be that both will be dropped in confer ence and some other means devising sufficient revenue inserted. Morehead for Governor. For several weeks there has been constantly coming here from the State suggestions from Republicans who do not belong to the patronage machine crowd that Congressman Morehead is rapidly growing in fa vor as the next Republican nominee for Governor. Some have also iug- gested him for State Chairman. The information wbl"a comes nere is that these suggestions are not looked upon with favor by the Adams and Duncan machine. A nrominent Republican from the State, on yesterday, commenting up on the situation, said: "No one who wants to build up the party and make the State Republican Is surprised at the action of Adams and Duncan In opposing the suggestion of Morehead for Governor. It Is generally be lieved that thev did not want him elected to Congress, and that if they did not actively try to beat bis elec tion that, they did nothing effective to help him." The outlook Is for some Interest ing political developments. The pat ronage machine must go when once the people thoroughly understand the situation. Trying to glde-Track Bryan.
