It has for some time been clear to those Republicans who wanted to build up the party that the so-called leaders were trying to lead In the other direction. It has also been clear for some time that the Demo cratic State machine and the Repub lican State machine were in perfect harmony on this point. There have, however, been many good Republi cans who have been slow in the face of many glaring facts to believe that the Republican machine could be guilty of such base treachery to their party; but that such is the fact, is now becoming so plain that it is not only common knowledge, but com mon talk. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer in a recent letter to that paper reviewing the po litical situation in the State, closes with the following significant state meit: "The next Republican State Convention will be worth while. Democrats and organization Re publicans are for Duncan this year, but there is an angry howl In the woods." "The angry howl in the woods" is the Indignant protest of the great honest rank and file of the party against such false and Incompetent leadership. " Therefore, the question that is now squarely at Issue to be determined within the next few months is. Will the next Republican State Convention go Democratic, as It will if the patronage machine con trols it? Or, will it declare squarely for a progressive policy that will lead to victory and put men in charge of the party who not only desire victory but who have the character and ca pacity to lead the party to success? In this connection, the following editorial clipped from the Western Carolina Enterprise is significant and to the point: "The Gazette-News and the News and Observer have it that the recent appointments indi cate that there will be a political dictator and that Republicans will bend the knee. Wait and see, gentlemen. The real 'Doc tor is back in the, townships, and he is not asking for office. You'll hear his voice during the stirring days of the immediate future. The ranks and file is the 'Doctor,' and he knows how to distinguish between those who are in the game for selfish pur poses and those who want to make more Republicans. He also knows a bushwhacker from a soldier who is fighting under flying colors." As the Enterprise so well says, the party has already been doctored too much by false doctors, and that the rank and file of the Republican party have now determined to become their own doctors. He also says truly and well that the sincere "patriotic Re publican knows the difference be tween a "bushwhacker" and a "sol dier." If the people will only rally and send their truest and best men to the next Republican State Convention then the leadership of bushwhackers ill be put at an end and the party will march to victory under the lead ership of the real soldier. 44THOSE FRAUDULENT BONDS." The News and Observer tried tn make it appear that Senator Butler inea to collect those "carpet-bag Donds' against this State. Why man t it tell that it was its Southern friend and fellow-Democrat, John G. Carlisle, who was doing it? Ldn colnton Times. N John G. Carlisle was for many years the Democratic Speaker of the National House of Representatives. He was later Democratic Secretary of the Treasury, and one of the Dem ocratic dieties whom the News and Observer worshipped. He was also (but you won't read this in the News and Observer) at torney for the collection of the bonds referred to. and is generally regarded as head, front and shoulders of the syndicate that endeavored to collect them. As it is yet some time before the Convention, the Democrats might wait 'and see what sort of mayor Judge Gaynor makes. Durham Her ald. Yes, .that might save them some embarrassment later on. It will be remembered that many Democrats wante to run Dr. Frederick Cook for President when he first tried to make the people believe he had discovered tne North Pole, but now they would probably be unable to locate Dr. Cook even if they desired to enter him In the race. i - ma REFERRED TO OUK DEMOCRATIC CX)NTE5IPORARIE8. How many oil In Doctors hate we In the State? How much time do they put in at it? What does it cost the State? Who pays the bill? Who does it benefit? Lincolnton Times. We respectfully "pass it up" and ask our Democratic contemporaries to answer If they can. Press reports state that Edison, inventor of the moving-picture ma chine, receives from that source alone, an Income of $375,000 per year, that being his royalty. A Washington (D. C.) merchant testified before the Congressional Committee that people were now buy ing less groceries and those of a cheaper grade than was formerly the case, and gave as his opinion "that the people were spending too much on moving-picture shows." The two statements in conjunction certainly gives food for thought. CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN ON IN EARNEST. The Railroad Bill Under Debate in the Senate Roosevelt's Expected Return to United States Awaited With Interest For Intra -Coastal Waterway Between Boston and Beaufort, N. C. President Taft Off on a Week's Trip. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C. March 15. The railroad bill, which has oc cupied the time of the Senate for the past two weeks, is still under de bate. Cummings, of Iowa, one of the "insurgents," is the only Republican who has taken a stand against the bill. The measure, however, has the endorsement of the administration, and will, no doubt, be passed. Two leading Democratic Senators, Tillman, of South Carolina, and Daniel, of Virginia, are very ill, and the latter is hardly expected to live. Tillman will not be able to get down to work for a year, maybe more, ac cording to his doctors. Roosevelt's Return. The expected return of the former President to this country is the prin cipal topic here nowadays. The re ports from upper Egypt of his ar rival at the ."door of civilization" has added a thrill to the expectancy. The former Uresident usually said what he thought, and he was always con sidered a vigorous thinker. His views are eagerly awaited. Peary-Pole Controversy. The Congressional Committee which has been considering the pro posed promotion of Commander Peary to be Rear-Admiral of the Navy, absolutely refuses to act un less the Commander submits proof of his discovery of the North Pole. This Peary refuses to do, alleging that the facts are valuable to him for newspaper and magazine articles, for which he is receiving large sums. Congressional Campaign. Never before, perhaps, in our his tory has a Congressional campaign been begun so early as the present, the Republicans particularly having for weeks been earnestly engaged in distributing literature, and giving to the people through pamphlets and the newspapers the truth about legis lation and the administration. This is not done so much through fear of Democratic success as it is due to the business attitude of Chairman Mc Klnley in everything that he under takes. He realizes that the present year Is a so-called off year in politics, and he realizes, too, that there have been factional difference in the Dartv. and that various conditions exist which if not overcome might jeop ardize Republican success. He and his committee are confronted perhaps with more misrepresentations on the part of the Democrats than has ex isted since 1890 when the Democratic House was elected wholly because of the lying that took place during the kampalgn. Intracoastal Waterway. A scheme for improvement of the harbor of Rail River, Mass., in con nection with traffic with New York and possible intimate traffic by intra coastal waterway between Boston and Beaufort, N. C. is Involved in a rec ommendation made to Congress by the War Department to-day. The Department recommends an appropriation of $143,000 for deep ening the harbor in addition to the present Improvements, with an an nual maintenance estimated at $6,- OUU. President Taft Off on a Week's Trip.

Miss Addle Hunter, a New York woman, secured a verdict for 158,000 against the Long Island Railroad for the lo&s of her legs. This is the larg est verdict for a similar claim ever made in this country. A previous verdict gave her 125,000, but she ap pealed. Senator John W. Daniel, of Vir ginia, is critically 111 at Daytonla, Fla., and his physicians announce that there is but slight hope of re covery. He is sixty -eight years of age and has been in failing health for some years. With his hands on the handles of a plow, which fie was following, C F. Kennerly, a prominent farmer, drop ped dead at his home at Woodleaf, Rowan County, on Tuesday. He was in apparent good health when the sudden summons came. Owing to purse-snatching and other crimes by vagabond negroes in Charlotte, the city authorities are seriously considering appointing spe cial officers from among the law-abiding negro residents to put a stop to it. The latter are co-operating ear nestly with the officials in running down the offenders. Thos McK. Laughlin, a wealthy Pittsburg man, killed himself last Sunday by shooting. He was married to a sister of President' Taft's wife. Ill health is given as the reason, he having just returned from a long trip abroad in a vain search for health. The President attended the funeral Tuesday. Favorable action by the Senate is expected to take place soon in regard to the admission of Arizona and New Menico as States. The matter has been before Congress for several ses sions, but for various reasons has failed of passage. It is expected that both will be admitted by the end of the present session. Following action of the United States Court, the reorganization of the Norfolk and Southern Railway is expected to take place 'in & few weeks. The terms are said to be mutually satisfactory to the interest ed parties. E. T. Lamb, now the gen eral manager, will, it is understood, head the reorganized company. The "Compulsory Publicity" law, which compels candidates for Federal offices to publish their election ex penses, has been favorably reported in the House and, it is stated, will be passed by Congress. . It compels candidates for Congress and others to publish contributions and dis bursements, under a penalty of both fine and imprisonment. President Mills of the Raleigh and Southport Railroad, has just pur chased fifty miles of steel rails for the extension to Clarkton, via Eliz abethtown. The work will commence at once, although the definite route is not announced. The Virginia and Carolina Southern, which is building a line from St. Pauls to Elizabeth town, has already begun the laying of rails. Complying with a death bed re quest of Congressman Perkins of New York, who died last week, the House of Representatives did not ad journ when his death was announc ed in that body. This is the first time such an occurrance ever took place and was, according to Repre sentative Payne, who made the an nouncement, "the crowning glory of his life, showing his high ideal of public duty." The threatened strike of railway men in the "West, involving nearly 150,000 employes, has been averted by both sides agreeing to submit to mediation. Chairman Knapp of the United States Commerce Commission, and Commissioner Neill of the Labor Bureau have consented to act as the mediators. The questios involve the promotion of the men in the employ of the roads, the wage question be ing secondary. - The ill-starred naval tug Nina which sailed away from Norfolk Feb- LOSE MONEY when you allow any of your Stock Or poultry to remain s'ck a day.

Income Tax Amendment liable to Fail of Approval by States. - Washington. March 16. The ac tion of Kentucky, following close on that of Virginia. In rejecting the pro posed amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States to provide for an income tax. Is regarded as ominous by the advocates of the in come tax in the House and Senate. The proposed amendment to the Constitution was submitted to the States last August. Alabama adopt ed it within three weeks after it was submitted to the Legislature. The Georgia Legislature passed It over without action. South Carolina adopted it some days ago, while Vir ginia rejected it. Instead of the States rushing madly over one anoth er of their eagerness to vote for an Income tax as predicted, they 'have been supremely slow, and the opin ion now prevails, based on Ken tucky's action, that the amendment will fail. ' , Up to date but four States have taken positive action, the other forty two having shown more or less indif ference. New York's decision, it is believed, will have much to do with the outcome in neighboring States. FARMER KILLED BY AUTO. Prominent Mecklenburg Farmer Run Down and Killed Chauffeur Ar rested and Jailed. Charlotte, N. C, March 12. W. M. Christenbury, was run over and killed this afternoon about 6 o'clock by an automobile belonging to Mr. Jeremiah Goff. The negro chauffeur, George Evans, has been arrested and is in the city police station. He refuses to have anything to say about thel occurrence. The accident happened five miles north of Charlotte, on the A. T. and O. Railroad. Mr. Chris tenbury, who was fifty years of age, was walking along the country road, when the machine struck him. He was carried to a nearby house where he died soon after. The affair has created a good deal of excitement in the city. It is the first fatal auto mobile accident that has ever hap pened in Mecklenburg County. Mr. Christenbury leaves a wife and several children. He was engaged in farming. Death From Pellagra.

He fully un derstands the needs of the service they are intended to supply, and says that In equipment, both for passen gers and freight, the ywlll meet this requirement. "They are to be sister ships," he said. "By that I mean that in con struction they will be identical. Pass engers using either will have the same service and the same accommo dations." The addition of these vessels to the Chesapeake Line was a suggestion of President Compton. He pointed out to the Directors the necessity of hav ing ships which would meet the steadily increasing requirements. He said that if they would authorize their construction of the vessels on the lines he suggested he could safe ly promise they would soon pay for themselves, and would always be able to earn more than the interest on the money invested. The board hav ing entire confidence in the executive told him to go ahead. He arranged the financial end and is now engaged on the physical end.
