EDITORIAL BRIEFS
The Baltimore Sun asks where will
Roosevelt land. On top, of course.
The Wake Democrats have post
poned their spring white-washing
until after June 25th.
Chairman Adams' call for tho pri
maries wants everyone to "feel" like
I hey had a hand anyhow.
As a last resort the officials might
call on the State's Oil Department to
still the troubled waters.
' Oh for the rare days in June,"
sing.i the poet. They are here, and
aro raw in the bargain.
Now there are charges of corrup
tion in the Baltimore City Council.
Yes, it is Democratic, too.
The Wake Democrats will not ring
the tocjsin this year, as their only
Hell has come off the ticket.
North Carolina, like a good farm,
makes sood when properly managed.
We simply need some new overseers.
Doubtless the capitalist would not
hesitate to buy our bonds if they
lie in power when the time came to
redeem them.
Is there any law on the- statute
hooks against buying and stealing
votes, or did the Legislature repeal
that law, too?
The Democrats now say they should
not be criticised for mismanaging af
fairs. Of course not a Democrat
can do no wrong!
As soon as Bryan left for Europe
,ex-Governor Folk announced his can-
didacy for the Presidency. He must
not expect uryan to return.
After '"cussing" them extensively,
the Democrats are now asking the
Republican financiers in this State

Mount Airy Leader.
Now that the Republican State
Convention hag been called and a
place decided upon to hold it, inter
est will, no doubt, center in the con
test for State Chairman which will
surely take place. It Is understood
that Chairman Adams will not stand
for re-election, and that Hon. A. E.
Holton has aspirations for this posi
tion, but the latest opinion is, that
In this important contest Carl Dun
can, National Committeeman, and
John M. Morehead, of this District,
will be the candidates before the Con
vention for that honor.
Of the two, the former has greater
experience in the game of politics,
stands in with the machine and is a
great political fighter, while on the
other hand, Mr. Morehead represents
the progressive policy in North Caro
lina politics that must, sooner or la
ter, win, and while one will be back
ed by the Federal office-holders, the
erstwhile machine, and the majority
of the politicians, the other, will have
behind him the rank and file of the
party and the business element.
It will probably prove a more in
teresting fight than that of four years
ago when Spencer Blackburn came
near defeating the machine in this
State and with the old Blackburn
strength in the west and Butler and
Skinner in the east, lined up for
Morehead, his chances look good for
victory. The west will never agree
to allowing the Chairmanship and
the National Committeeman to go to
the east and there are thousands
who are not willing to again turn
over the management of the party
affairs to one man as they did to
Senator Pritchard.
Mr. Morehead is the logical can-
didate for Chairman, for no man in
X,ort Carolina has ever accomplish-
ed what he has and no man has ever
served hhj party more faithfnlly since
his advent into politics. His election
would mean many recruits from Dem-
ocracv. the moment he was elected.
and the fact that he stood at the head
of the party organization
would
mean victory at the polls.
Mr. Morehead may not desire this
honor and responsibility, but if he
does, or his party demands it, he
will find thousands of old-time and
loyal Republicans who are ready to
see that he is made Chairman and
victory from the Democrats at the
Polls - Make Morehead Chairman
and tnere is in store a brighter day
f(jr Republicanism in this state and
men will flock to aid him in placing
the State party upon a business basis
founded upon the principles of the
National party.

COURT OF CUSTOMS
The New Court of Appeals
Met Tuesday For the
First Time,
MANY CASES ON DOCKET
The Administration Hills Are Xow in
Better Shape a Majority, if Not
All the Measure. Will Be Passed
at the Present Session The Pro
posed Increase of Freight Rates
Increase in Illicit Distilling and the
Possible Cause for Same.
(Special to The Caucasian.)
Washington, D. C, June 7, 1910.
The new Court of Customs Appeal
met this morning for its first session.
This court ha3 been created to hear
and pass upon appeals from the va
rious ports of entry where importers
have complained as to the finding of
the appraiser with reference to the
value of goods imported and the
amount of tariff duties required to be
paid. Formerly, such appeals were
made to the United States Circuit and
District Courts. All cases now pend
ing before such courts have been
transferred to this new court. When
the court met this morning two hun
dred and twenty-five such cases were
on its docket.
ProjHsed Increase of Freight Rates.
The railroads of the country, a
few days ago, attempted to advance
their rates from one end of the coun
try to the other before thp passage
of the railroad rate bill now pending
in Congress. They were anxious to
do this because after the passage ofj
the law no railroad can increase rates
without the consent of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
To prevent such an Increase of
rates the Attorney General promptly
applied to the courts for an injunc
tion, which was granted, staying the
putting of such increased rates into
force. This prompt and effective ac
tion on the part of the Attorney-Gen
eral at once brought a committee of
all the railroad lines of the country
to Washington on yesterday to hold
a conference with the President. As
result of that conference the rail
roads have agreed that they will not
attempt to put any increase rates into
effect and will await the passage of
the railroad rate bill and comply with
that law. With this understanding,
the President agreed that further ac
tion under the injunction proceed
ings started by the Government
would not be pressed.
he Condition of the Administration
Bills in Congress.
The railroad rate bill, which had
already passed the House, has just
passed the Senate with a number of
amendments that greatly strengthen
and improve the bill. Not only, did
every insurgent Republican join with
the regulars in supporting tho new
railroad rate bill, but over half the
Democratic Senators also voted for
it; indeed, there were only twelve
votes cast against the measure, and
all of them were by Democrats. It
thought that the House will
promptly accept the Senate bill; if
not, the differences between the two
Houses will soon be adjusted in con-
erence.
An agreement has been reached in
the House as to the Senate postal
savings bank bill, and it now looks
as if that great reform measure
would become a law at this session
of Congress.
The administration measure giving
the President further authority for
the conservation of natural resources,
which had already passed the House,
was taken up in the Senate on yes
terday and will become a law at this
session.
The other administration measures
are also being pressed, and it is
hoped that one or more of the re
maining measures will also become a
law.
The Increase of Blockading.
A Republican from the western
part of thf State, who was here yes
terday, said that the recent seizures
of illicit distilleries in Western Caro
lina, and especially in Wilkes Coun
ty, were probably the greatest seiz
ures ever made anywhere in the
United States. At one distillery there
were destroyed over four thousand
gallons of mash or beer ready to be
distilled. In several cases there
were serious fights between the
blockaders and the revenue officers.
Commenting upon this great re
vival of illicit distilling, this Repub
lican said that, in his opinion, this
great Increase of illicit distlling was
started with the hope that District
Attorney Holton would soon be re
moved, and he said further that it
might have been also induced by the
thought that Collector Brown would
also be removed.
It is generally known and admit
ted that District Attorney Holton and
Collector Brown have enforced the
law more effectively than ever before
in the history of the State, and ther-
i fore the prospect of their removal
from office naturally encouraged the
violators of the law to resume on a
bigger scale than ever before tneir
illicit business.

the Present Issue, or Allow the

Before July 1st.
Governor Kltchin Issued a pro
clamation calling the North Carolina
General Assembly to meet in extra
ordinary session here June 14th, to
take action as to the Impending $3.
430,000 refunding bond Issue to take
care of bonds falling due July 1st,
the inability of the Council of State
to market the 4 per cent refunding
bonds at this time in sufficient quan
tities, under the restrictions of the
legislative act authorizing them to
meet the July bond obligations.
The proclamation of the Governor
follows:
' To the Honorable the General As
sembly of North Carolina:
"By, and with the advice of the
Council of State, an extraordinary
occasion having arisen, I, W. W.
Kitchin, Governor of the State of
North Carolina, in exercise of the
power conferred upon me by the con
stitution of the State, do issue this,
my proclamation, convening the Gen
eral Assembly in extra session on
Tuesday, the 14th day of June, 1910,
at 11 o'clock a. m., and I do hereby
notify and request Senators and
members of the House of Represen
tatives of the General Assembly of
North Carolina to meet in their res
pective halls in the Capitol in the
city of Raleigh at said time for the
purpose of considering an emergen
cy resulting from the Inability of
the State Treasurer to sell. In ac
cordance with Chapter 399, public
laws of 1909, entitled 'An Act to Au
thorize the Issue of State Bonds to
Pay Off State Bonds WTiIch Fall Due
on the First Day of July, 1910,' suf
ficient bonds to pay the present out
standing bonds of issue of 1880,
which mature July 1, 1910, and of
enacting legislation to enable the
State Treasurer to reserve sufficient
funds to pay said last-mentioned
bonds at their maturity.
"In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State to be affixed.
"Done in the city of Raleigh this,
the 3rd day of June, 1910.
"By the Governor,
"ALEX. J. FIELD,
"Private Secretary.
"W. W. KITCHIN. Governor."
The question that confronts the
Legislature is whether to Increase the
rate of interest on bonds to run for
forty years to 5 per cent, or to pro
vide for the money needed by bor
rowing pending the sale of bonds.
There is still one chance that the
call for an extra session may be re
voked. The banks of the State are
asked to send representatives to Ra-
eigh June 8th for a conference as to
means for tiding over the situation.
f there should be any results from
this meeting, it is said the call for
an extra session will be revoked by
the Governor.
Later. Just as we go to press It
s announced from the office of the
Governor that the entire remainder
of the bond Issue had been subscrib
ed. Of the amount, the American
Tobacco Company took one million
dollars worth. This balance was tak
en entirely at par, the State not re
ceiving any bonus.

I have tinted Iredell County sev

ter Is powerful good, and the black

when the briers would bear at all.
the berries wouldn't be larger than
No. 8 shot, and they'd be as sour as
beet pickles that have been la acid
vinegar so long that they have ruor
tlned. '
National affairs seem to have been
In competent hands for some years.
McKinley. Koosevull. and Taft,
though none of them have leached
perfection, have do no well. Demo
cratic nien have endorsed their con
duct of affairs; Democratic children
and chronic political grumblers have
at times criticised each of the states
men and their most influential as
sociates. But the wise Democratic
farmer, business man and artisan
has said from his heart, if not audi
bly: "Give us other McKlnleys,
Roosevelts, and Tafts." And they
are beginning to help to pick them
out and elect them, too.
Some years ago I was In a village
some distance from Raleigh. The
National and State election was but
two days off. The citizens of the vll-
age were about equally divided poi-1
tically. A few Democratic "rooters"
rom the vicinity had come In that
day to help gather In any lukewarm
Republicans there might be. I had
dropped into a store and found sev
eral discussing the coming election.
took no part in the talk, for I did
not intend to vote. Pretty soon
most of the Democrats gathered
around a Republican farmer who
lived near and began to plead with
him in a neighborly way to vote the
Democratic ticket, using the usual
stale Democratic arguments. The
Republican probably had only a lim-i
lted common school education. He
listened patiently for a time, then he
said: "Gentlemen, your talk sounds
good, and Mr. Bryan may be all right.
But when the Democrats had this
country I got four, five, and six cents
per pound for cotton. Now I get
ten, twelve, and fourteen cents
more than twice as much. Under
Cleveland rule I got four and five
cents for pork; now I get eight, ten.
and twelve cents. Under Cleveland
my family sold "eggS at seven, eight,
and ten cents per dozen; now we get
from fifteen to twenty-five cents per
dozen. We get at least twice as
much now for our butter." By this
time the ardent Democrats had melt
ed away by ones and twos, and most
of them mounted their horses and
cut for home. The Republican shift
ed his chew of tobacco, got up, and
said to the merchant: "Put me up
a dollar's worth of good coffee and a
dollar's worth of sugar. I am ex
pecting a beef man out from Raleigh
to-day to look at some cattle and I
must go home." I noticed that he
threw down a ten-dollar bill to pay
for his purchases, which was anoth
er evidence that Clevelandlsm had
gone hence probably never to return.
And Bryanlsm, the other extreme,
has also run Its last race.
Coming to tho State, there are
commendable features about Demo
cratic rule. There are many excel
lent citizens In the Democratic or
ganization, men who believe they are
right. Somo of the leaders are very
good men. But with Daniels, Sim
mons, and Glenn in the saddle it is
but another case of "when the wick
ed rule the people mourn." There
are other leaders, of course. But
they hardly know what has happen
ed and have no Idea as to what may
happen. Josephus Daniels Is the real
leader In this State. He probably
has daily and nightly communication
with Satan and gets telegraphic in
struction. Simmons does some of
the base-note thinking and Glenn has
been doing the principal hypocritical
stunts In the greatest of all "come
on" games Democratic moral re
form. Modern Democracy Is the
only agency of a political nature
that professes to be able to hurry ap
the millenium by taking charge of
the spiritual and moral welfare of
the wholo people. Benjamin Till
man, of South Carolina, was, and is.
the prime mover. Some years ago
he lifted up his voice In South Caro
lina and brayed like a jackass for
many days. Result: A great dispen
sary for the State of South Carolina
for the sale and manufacture of lick
er, the manufacturing feature being
an after-thought. Political corrup
tion and scandal after scandal fol
lowed. But Tillman became Gov
ernor of hla State and United States
Senator. This looked good to the
Democrats In North Carolina, a
number of them quit carrying tick
lers holding from a pint to a quart,
ate a few cloves, put talcum powder
on their red noses, and began to
howl for a dispensary system like
that of South Carolina, not because
It would reduce the quantity or qual

of the Republican party in our coun

wudre. and from ooa scarres.
I feel It U our duty to seize the op
portunity a n j presents itself and
for every county In th? State that
k- r,f, already done so. to sena s
full delegation for Congressman John
W Morehead. for .-ta!e Lhairmaa.
v' !U not etery Republican In
every precinct In the State lay hold
of tb's opportunity, ana sena omj
good men a delegates to our State
Convention, who want to see the
party gro. and win. If
win. we muft pat forth to the front
only our beet nxen who hare the
best interest of the psrty at heart.
Those things are absolutely essen
tial Mr. H1H. who I mentioned says If
he be elected county chairman he
will work in harmony with any one
whom the people elect for State
Chairman. I bespeak the full, aetlre
co-operation of all true Republicans
in reaping the full benefits which
this opportunity affords. -
