When Raleigh's police ; justice comes up for re-election next spring he may find it necessary to pour oil on the troubled waters. Wonder how they held down Ben Tillman during that Baltimore Con ference? Tillman must have been feeling bad sure enough. Why not investigate the report of that committee that investigated the Democratic management of the At lantic and North Carolina Railroad? A duty of nine cents a gallon has been added to imported Scotch and Irish whiskies. Now listen for an other Democratic howl against the "high tariff." Governor Glenn said if the Demo crats were allowed to control, we would have few courts. It seems that Mr. Glenn was speaking 'with out authority If the Oil Trust can sell oil in Raleigh for seven and a half cents a gallon, why can't they sell it at the same price in towns where there is no competition. The Governor in his message rec ommended economy and at the same time recommended an increase in many salaries. Somehow the two recommendations won't tally. Henry Watterson fled the country to keep from! attending that Demo cratic Conference in Baltimore last week. While Bryan staid in this country he also staid at home; The tax valuations in the State have doubled in the past ten years and still the Democrats have to issue bonds to replenish the pie trough. Isn't it time f or the people to make a change? - . . v. Some of the members of the Legis lature say the office of Governor, under the present salary, is burden some. As long as there are so many patriots'-that "are willing to take up the burden, even at the present sal ary, why worry over the matter. IKMOCItATS HAIU;UI WITH HKIIIKRV.
