The Mount Airy leader, in a thoughtful editorial, points out the conditions which have made a large numU-r of Democrats dissatiHfied with their party and the general growing spirit of independence, and says that this situation presents a moht favorable opportunity for the Republican party to carry the State, provided we have something to of fer." This ia-very wisely and timely said. The voters who are dissatisfied with the Democratic party will not leave that party to join another party that is controlled by a Federal pie-counter trust, and If that Is all we have to offer them, not one of them will come. Indeed, thousands of the re cruits which came to the Republican party at the last election will not vote with us at the next election if the pine-counter bosses are the recog nized leaders of the party. The recruits gained in the last elec tion came because they believed that President Taft's speech at Greens borp and hia other declarations to the effect that the rotten referee system in the South should be abolished, and that men of the highest character and standing, who had the respect and the Intelligence and morality of each community, only should be ap pointed to office, would be carried out In good faith and that there would be a complete renovation of the Republican party and its lead ers. Not one of the thirty odd thousand recruits gained in the last election will follow for one minute the pie counter bosses. Therefore, tho next State Convention must determine whether or not the Republican party will have anything to offer to the voters of the State. In addition, the party must be able to offer a platform that Is not a-straddle, especially on the great fundamental principle o local self-government. The view of the independent voter of the State was very correctly pre sented recently in a significant edi torial In the Charlotte Observer, in which It said that wherever the Re publican party existed for the distri bution of Federal patronage and made no serious efforts to win elec tions before the people, that it could never win and did not deserve to win. GRAFT A COMPARISON. The recent revelations regarding graft and corruption In high places shows an alarming condition of af fairs. Their exposure is a matter of public necessity, and the wider the publicity, the greater the public good. Both parties are affected by the venality of certain of its mem bers, but In the method of honest dealing with the public, the Insincer ity of the Democratic party is clearly shown. In the sincerity of purpose and honesty in dealing with the public, the Republican party certainly has the advantage over Its opponents With a genuine desire to purge the public service of evil and corrupt men, it has openly come out into the light and no matter who was affected or how, the open light of the day was turned on. It Is a shame tha thl3 cannot be said of the investiga tions controlled by the Democrats. The two striking instances seen are In those of New York and Missisl slppi. The former State, controlled by the Republican party, found one of its members of the State Senate ac cused of receiving a bribe to influence legislation. Though he was powerful In the councils of the party, he had to face an Investigation open to the public, to which every one had access and the widest publicity given the matter in even the party journal. The guilty man, after a fair and open trial, was found guilty and forced to resign his seat There were some Democrats connected in this also, but uietr friends kept the true facts smothered. ao aifferent the case in that stronghold of Democracy the State of Mississippi! The recent election of a Senator, after a long fight, and a very bitter one, caused a charge to be made against a prominent member of the Legislature of bribery. But Instead of following the example of New York, these Mississippi Dem ocrats sought cover. The investiga tion, which involved the high refuta tions of men and the election lof a Senator of the United States was converted Into a star chamber pro- ceeding. The press dispatched state 5i ttat "a" door aad corTidor wer guarde)j and EO itatenient relatlre I to the proceeding will be made pub- 11c." A fair sample of Demoratic faith and intergrity. Nor is it a single spe cimen. Right here in our own State, some years ago, in an Investigation regarding the mismanagement (a stronger term might well be used if the facts were made public) of a State-controlled railway was held in secret, behind locked doors, and the public Is to-day no wiser of the out come of those deliberations than be fore they began. "Oh Democracy, Democracy, how many crimes are committed in thy name! " A I'ftOIOSEI SOLUTION. The prospect of a fight between the Simmons and Kitchin wings of the Democratic party which has been agi tating the leaders for some time, has now had proposed a solution. This Involves the retirement of Chief Jus tice, of the State Supreme Court. The "plan" is to nominate for that high office Judge Piatt Walker. This will create a vacancy to which Judge Allen can then be nominated for As sociate Justice. Manning then can be renominated, and all will be love ly, except for the friends of Judge Clark, who are yet to be heard from. This "solution" Involves a tale of typical Democratic revenge and hun ger for what they so often refer to as "pie" and "pone." Judge Clark is to be knifed because of the activity of his son and himself in the muni cipal campaign at Raleigh, when the Wake County machine was disrupted and all but over-thrown. The sup port of the News and Observer and its silent acquiesence in the political killing of its former ally, Judge Clark, is secured by the prospective nomination of Frank Daniels, a broth er of the editor, for the vacant Judgeship of the Sixth District, which will be caused by Allen's elevation. It will be seen that this is the plan of the "leaders," but that is enough. The little fellows and the "hide bound" are expected to follow with out question. Democratic harmony may be some day but not this year. THE SIIEMWELL CASE. The action of Governor Kitchin in communting the sentence of Baxter Shemwell from five months to five days in jail and a fine of five hundred dollars, was not entirely unexpected by those who had closely followed this remarkable case. Shemwell, a wealthy man, with a reputation for "gun play," was con victed after a hard fought trial on the part of hi3 attorneys of having forced the conductor of a train to stop at a point not on the schedule, under tnreats of instant death. He not only drew one gun, but two, and his unsavory reputation undoubtedly had some effect on the conductor's de cision to comply with the demand. Shemwell had previously been tried for killing one man and had been be fore court on another charge similar to the one he was convicted of. In view of his past performances, many thought that the Court's sen tence of five months exceedingly light. Having failed before the Su preme Court in his effort for a new trial, that body unanimously sustain lng the lower court, the Governor, on the plea that Shemwell's health was poor, deferred his sentence to April 1st. The convicted man then began his efforts to have his punish ment commuted to a fine, and has, to all practical ends, succeeded In so do ing. The Governor's action is based up on the opinion that Shemwell's health would be seriously impaired by the longer term in jail. That may be. but it does not pre vent many from asking what would have been the fate of some poor and humble citizen similarly convicted, who lacked Shemwell's wealth a'J what is a deplorable feature cl the case, Shemwell's political backing? THE LAWS ARE NOT LNFORCTD. The Raleigh News and Observer copies an editorial from the Asheville Citizen, with approval, as follows: "Is it any wonder then that lawlessness is on the Increase and that criminals revel In a carnival cf crime? There can exist no Respect for laws that are not enforced; there can be no tea of punishment that Is neve,y imposed, in this day of easy pardons and insufficient purshment the habitual crimi nal has a rosy path." Tlis is a severe Indictment of con- diyons as they exist under "Demo cratic good government . out. IU1S Admission does not admit the whole truth. Has the Democratic narrv made any effort to enforce the anti trust law? Has it made any serious or honest effort to enforce the n. hibition law? In short, the record of the rmn cratic party in North Carolina Is made of long promises and sWt formances. HOW TO GAIN RECRUITS AND HOW TO DRIVE THEM AWAY. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer learns from leading North Carolina politicians that the fight which the Republican patronage machine has made upon Congressman Morehead has greatly strengthened him with the voters In his district and will be the cause of new recruits coming to him from the Democratic party. That this is true, we have no doubt. Indeed, it was the declaration of President Taft In the last cam paign that he would destroy the ref eree system In the South and appoint only high-class men to office who had pie in their respective communities, that caused him to gain over thirty thousand votes in the State, every vote of which, of course, came from the Democratic party; and yet, in the face of these facts, there are some who claim that the "way to build up the Republican party is to let It be dominated and run by the patronage machine bosses who, everybody knows, do not want the party to grow. These facts point plainly to how to gain recruits of how to drive them away from the party. WORE THAN ANARCHY. We clip the following from the ed itorial columns of the Raleigh News and Observer: "The New Bern Sun pro pounds this query: 'If no law at all is anarchy, what is having laws and not enforcing them?' " Thus, according to the admission of two leading Democratic newspa pers, the record of the Democratic party for its failure to enforce laws is a record worse than anarchy. A WORD TO THE VOTERS. The attention of Republican vot ers in particular and independent voters generally is called to the fact that Democratic registrars in some sections are attempting to register Republican voters for the Democrat ic primaries. In some instances they are registering voters without their knowledge. If you find that your name is on their lists, direct that it be stricken off. Do not attend their primaries. To do so is an implied agreement to vote their whole ticket this fall, no matter who may be nominated. And, again, be sure to pay your poll tax before May the first. Notice on your tax receipt if your poll is indicated. Instances have been known where that was left off, whether intentionally or not, is not known. But make sure of this fact. The Democratic primaries have been called for June 25th. The date for the Republican primaries have not yet been fixed. If you believe in Republican pros perity, local self-government, etc., then do not participate in the Dem ocratic primaries. If you have not yet entered the com contest and are thinking of do ing so, you should send in your name at once and instructions will be for warded to you that will help you in your contest for the prize. Remem ber that the young farmer, under twenty years of age, who raises the best acre of corn will be given a free trip to Washington, D. C, in order that he may receive his diplo ma in person. If you have not done so then enter the contest to-day and send us your name. The Haywood Republican County Convention passed a resolution de nouncing the unfair and untruthful attacks which the Asheville Gazette News, the patronage machine organ, has been making against Congress man Grant.

A large delegation of Winston Salem were in Washington City last week urging an appropriation of $200,000 for a new public building and the establishment of the revenue office there. Earl Foster, white, who wa3 con victed at Winston-Salem of theft and sent to the roads, is wanted in Wilkes County on a charge of attempted criminal assault on a white lady last year. He will be returned there for trial at the end of his present sen tence. Headed by a number of Salisbury leading business, men, a movement has been started there to organize a damask factory at an initial cost of $50,000. A large amount of the stock has already been subscribed, and it is expected that work will be gin on the building at a nearly date. The Amende Honorable Due. Union Republican. "Under Fusion rule lawlessness walked the State like a pestilence, crime stalked abroad at noonday, sleep lay down with alarm, and the sound of the pistol was more fre quent than the song of the mocking bird."

The song of the mocking-bird continues to be sil enced by the cr?.ck of the pistol. And He Was a Democrat. Greensboro News.

Ten years ago short-leal pine, known la the trade as North Caro lina pine, was little known la the North, but. owing to the increase la price of white plae, the packing case manufacturers commenced to use the North Carolina wood la the ends of their boxes. This gradual substitu tion, hardly noticeable at first, con tinued to increase, until at the pres ent day packing cases are almost en tirely made of North Carolina pice. Builders and contractors had a simi lar experience, as white pine disap peared from the market, and now floors, ceilings, partitions, roofing, and sheathlngs. In frame houses throughout the country are made from North Carolina pine. The total consumption of this wood in the Eastern States amounts to a billion and a half feet per year. Offerings of white pine grow less each year, as North Carolina pine Is less than half Its price, notwithstand ing the fact that there is but a small quantity of this timber left, and nothing, apparently, to take Its place east of the Mississippi River. This class of timber also grows In Virginia, South Carolina, and in the northern part of Georgia, and it is estimated that in less than twenty years it will be exhausted. The con sumption increases each year, and af ter North Carolina pine timber Is gone the East will have to go beyond the Mississippi Valley for its mate rial for packing cases and frame houses. New York Post. Is This Democratic Good Govern ment? When Solicitor Graves learned that a form of peonage was being prac ticed In this civilized county, he "arose in righteous Indignation," and sent for the Road Superintendent, and told that gentleman if ever he again heard of any such practices he would at once indict and prosecute him. It seems that the authorities at the road camp, when a prisoner escapes from the road camp and is recaptured, have been accusaomed to tax the prisoner all costs and ex penses incidental to his escape and capture, and to compel the prisoner to work out such costs without the formality of law. "My God, can this be true in Rockingham County," ex claimed the Solicitor. We commend him for his action. Reidsville Weekly. Farmer Assassinated. Leithfield, Ky., March 30. Chas.
