I- A PAS A' N':' s J 1 J i VOL. XXVIII. RALEIGH N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1910. No. 3 EDITORIAL BRIEFS Bryan is famous at last. His name appears in a Peruna ad. The Democratic platform is always subject to change without notice. The nomination for President on the Democratic ticket is only a mi rage. It seems that Congressman Champ Clark Is also fond of offlce for Just what there is In it. If Mr. Bryan fails to land the Democratic nomination he might try the Socialist ticket one time. Opportunity iaiay bo knocking at the stable door of the Democratic party, but the "critter" is afraid to open the door. If they decide to raise the Gover nor's salary, why not pay the in creased amount out of that peniten tiary surplus? Atlanta is holding a hookworm conference. Only Democrats were appointed as the delegates from this State. Since the railroad was not respon sible for the Reedy Fork wreck, why was it taxed with the cost of the hearing? If there are any Democratic poli ticians in the State that do not want office we would be pleased to publish a list of their names. In these days of Simmonsites, Kitchinites, Danielsites, and parasites the Democratic politicians want to be careful how they line up. The Raleigh Evening Times favors paying the Governor $25,000 a year. Who do you suppose would run for an office that paid such a paltry sum? It took them several days to count the votes in England. Reminds one of Democrats counting votes in this State when they think the election is close. Harry Thaw has sold his burial plot. Wonder if he expects to live forever, or follow in the footsteps of Elijah? When the Demociatic party re- turns from a trip to South America it will probably announce Mr. Bry an's candidacy for the Presidency in 1912. Judge Biggs told the Durham bar that doctors' prescriptions were no good in his court. We believe the only place they sell the stuff is at drug stores. Champ Clark, the minority leader In Congress, is out West on a lecture, tour. How can he honestly represent . . , . . . . . . his people when he is using his office only for personal gain? boncnor w. c Hammer, eaitor or the Asheboro Courier, has been hand ed a lemon weighing almost two pounds. Wonder if that means his defeat for re-election? Mr. Brvan savs that everv Demo- cratic candidate for Congress should let the voter know where he stands. tf v. . . ..J The penitentiary authorities claim they will have a surplus of $75,000 after this year's crop is made. If it disappears as usual, as soon as the campaign is over, what's the use? The News and Observer, in an in direct way, has endorsed Judge Har mon for the Democratic nominee for President in 1912.

TAFFS SUCCESSEUL DIPLOMACY The Interest Which Have Been Vh-. lating the Law by Crushing Oat Competition and Charging Enor mous Profits on Watered Stock Have at Last Realized That Mr. Taft Is Determined to Carry Oat His Campaign Utterances Water ed Stocks in Wall Street Have Declined. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25. 1910. Special to the Caucasian: The great trusts and the malefac tors of great wealth generally are at least becoming alarmed for fear that President Taft means to stand squarely by the platform of his party and his campaign utterances to sup port and carry forward the Roose velt policies in every respect. Immediately after the election of President Taft the newspapers con trolled by these influences began at once to pat the President on the back and declare that the country was now safe from agitation and uninter rupted prosperity was assured. They also started a campaign urging the President to send a message to Con gress to amend the Sherman anti trust law so that it could not be en forced so as to hurt the "good trusts." They continued to announce that the President would do this, and that all the trusts and combinations they have continuously been sending delegations representing the various The President's Successful Diplomacy It seems, however, that these in- terests which have been violating the law by crushing out competition and charging enormous profits on water ed stock have at last realized that President Taft is determined to carry out his contract with the people of the United States In good faith. They also have seen and realized ;Ithiu the last week that the President knows how to accomplish results, for that he has been able to compromise and settle the differences between the stand-patters and Regulars in his party and the Insurgents or Progres- slves. to the eitent that thev will all unite in passing legislation to carry out his recommendations. During the past week or ten days, as this conviction has gradually gone home, tha nrlrw of utofka and honrls on Wall Street have been gradually de- dining, that is. some of the water is hrraduallv oozine out. it is announced to-day that there is almost a panic in Wall Street as a result of a conference of leading trust magnates and th conclusion that 1t wa. -mnoacihi to swervo the President from his promises and pledges as given to the American n0nnin peopic. n 3 known that the administra- anMmo ni je?,, t a.i. j Lllfc) OLUUUitlU KJll titSO H.11U LilC X UUlit- co Trust cases, and that immediately following the action of the court in t, ,ni ho i.iie-psi-? l aaca lual uiuocLiUkiuua w lit pushed against the meat trust, the steel trust the Southern and Union - . n , ., j, j acinc uanroaa mergers, ana a num h nf tha lorr omhlnatlona of capital in the cohntry. capxuu m um, cwuuwr,.

Tillman, Jr. Sues for Her Chil dren. A special from Columbia, a C to Monday Charlotte Observer, says: "Mrs. B. R.

It. Tillman, who holds a clerical position at Washington, deeded the two chil dren to his parents, alleging his wife's unfitness and inability to raise my two children as they should be raised. "This deed was placed on record a few days ago at Edgefield, but after the children had been turned over to Senator and Mrs. Tillman, while Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., was ill in Wash ington, it is alleged, without even be ing given a hearing, her children were taken from her, and she was told to go her way, this after her husband had squandered much of her estate, it is claimed.

WThen they did not return that night nor the next day, Mrs. Tillman demanded of her hus- band to know of their whereabouts. and he informed her that he had turned them over to his parents, who were taking them to South Carolina, and that she could go home if she liked.

News reach ed this city this afternoon from Princeton, a small town twelve miles from Goldsboro, reporting a horrible homicide in that town about 11 o'clock Saturday night, when Frank Lang ley, a-young white man, was shot and instantly killed in a board ing house run by Mrs. Pearce. Troy Pearce, his father and two brothers, Albert and Andrews Pearce, and a blacksmith by the name of Lem Sauls, are In jail charged with the crime, which according to the reports, is cold-blooded murder. Sauls, the blacksmith, left Princeton late Saturday night, but was captur ed later by the sheriff near Selma and placed in jail. He denied being In the party of the crowd who did the killing, but later admitted that he was a member of the party but did not know who did the awful deed. John E. Pearce, an uncle of tne Pearce party, was also in the house at the time of the killing and says that the crime lays between Troy and Andrew Pearce, that he had re tired for the night and the clockin his room had begun the stroke of eleven, but only a few strokes had hrnkfi fht stillness wMen the succeed- , oke tne stulnesS' wnen charge of a shot gun, which was fol lowed by a blood-curdling yell. This is the only statement he would give other than to say that the killing lay between Troy and Andrew Pearce. He .has also been placed in jail The body of the deceased was placed in a .cart by the murderers and car ried down the Southern railroad track about half a mile from the scene of the" tragedy and left on the rails in order to try to hide the crime by letting the train pass over the body' the night ran fIng i)Ut frovm this city severed the head from the body, but at the coroner's inquest held Sunday afternoon.

Judge Dill nodded. "I have never looked with patience on the fining of a corporation. Inflicting a fine as penalty is inflicting punishment on the Innocent stockholders. Penalties Should ha laid lirton tun nm Bp0nsiblo "The real evil in aggregation of capital and corporate and other com- binations lies ln men character not in things. The trouble la per sonal. That's why I just said that the penalty for wrongdoing should be personal. "Some of these combinations are using their resources and their ener gies to accomplish their own ends, without due regard to the rights of individuals or the public. This they do naturally. Power always carries with it an instinctive desire to adopt the theory that might makes right. Some of our foremost men are work ing upon that theory. "The menace in our so-called pros perity to-day is that in many in stances the men among us who be come powers financial, political, so cial abuse their power. The trou ble is not with theories, it l with forms. It is concrete. The wrong 14 personal. "A large part of our modern pros perity is to a perilously large extent bottomed upon fraud and sham. The unprecedented natural growth of the country, the resulting creation of im mense fortunes, the massing of great aggregations of capital through in dustrial combinations and railroad mergers, all have tended to concen trate attention upon great financial achievements, and to put in highest place in popular estimation captains of industry and powerful financiers. Yet we hear of instances of men who have stolen millions having em ployes sent to jail who had taken only hundreds or thousands of dol- ars. Fault of the Public. "Whose fault is this? It is ours, t is the result of public opinion, yours and mine yours of me, mine of you, ours of all the rest. We must learn to recognize graft and grafters, however respectable their disguise, and punish them. Punish them personally, not only with im prlsonment and fine, but with all the scorn of society.

His correctives for corporate ex cesses, oppression, and illegalities are publicity, uniform laws for Incor poratlon, honest promotion, and In dividual integrity in members of a coporation. When they err he would like to see them held to account aa for a personal dereliction and not let off by a fine on the corporation. Fifteen Killed By an Explosion. Flshkill Landing, N.
