It is now stated that Aycock will announce his candidacy for the Sen ate within three weeks' time. Well, siit'ss we can wait that long. Some of them Champ Clark for are now talking President. They should know that Tammany will not aeree to a Southern Democrat. The last Democratic Legislature provided for a school for the feeble minded. The Democrats are always looking out for their supporters. According to statements made by certain Democrats the negro held the balance of power in the Democratic pTimary in Raleigh last Monday. The Wilmington Star says the Democrats need all the offices. It is quite evident they want all the of fices whether they need them or not. If it is wrong for the Democrats to buy and steal votes from each oth er, isn't it wrong for the Democrats to buy and steal votes from the Re publicans? A Democratic exchange says the party may be forced to follow Bryan to another defeat. Why isn't it as well to follow Bryan, as any one else, to defeat? The Democratic politicians con tinue to make "Jefferson day" speeches, and not a one of them are within a thousand miles of what Jef ferson stood for. A noted railroad man predicts that hard times will come before the end of the year. He probably thinks tho Democrats will be able to force free trade on the country. ' When the Democrats charge each other with using money and whiskey to buy votes in Democratic primaries, there is no reason why any one elsd should dispute the charge. The Democratic politicians once claimed it was necessary to stuff the ballot box in order to maintain white supremacy. Wonder what excuse they give for stuffing ballot boxes now? A press dispatch states that ex Governor Glenn turned up in Wash ington a few days after Bryan and Harmon had reported. Wonder if he trying to launch a Presidential boomlet, too? M it takes four bar-rooms to sup Ply a Democratic campaign in the of Charlotte, . how many bar rooms would it take to furnish a supply for a campaign covering Meck fenburg County? Speaker Champ Clark has a gavel made of Part of a dam. When his democratic brethren in the House become unruly he can rap .with the savel, as a substitute for doing the cussing" himself.

Annual Meeting of Orphanage Work ers Held in Charlotte. Charlotte, April 18. The annual meeting of the Tri-State Conference of Orphanage Workers, convened here to-night, the sessions to last through Thursday. An address of welcome was deliv ered by Rev. Harris Mallincrodkt, rector or St. Peter's Episcopal church, the response being made-in a graceful manner by Mr. Archibald Johnson, editor of Charity and Chil dren, at Thomasville. The feature of the meeting was the annual address by the President of the Conference, Rev. J. N. Cole, superintendent of the Methodist Or phanage at Raleigh. Officers were elected as follows: President, Rev. A. T. Jamison, of Greenwood, S. C; Secretary, Mr. Archibald Johnson, of Thomasville, N. C. Philadelphians Call Mass Meeting to Have Children Protected From Street Cars. Philadelphia, Pa., April 18. The fact that 27 children have been killed by trolley cars since the first of the year, the latest victim to-day being Margaret Mitchell, aged six, has led the various civic and other organizations here to call a mass meeting to take steps to compel the street railway company, to install ad equate safeguards on the cars. A committee is to be appointed to pro tect and (guard against the large number of deaths to children due to defective fenders and wheel guards. - Uncle Sam Stocking X. C.

Democratic House to Investfgato Every Ie partment of tle Government. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C. April 18, 1911. The discussion in the Democratic House of Representatives on the Can adian reciprocity bill was opened by Congressman Kitchin of North Car olina, who is a member of the Com mittee on Ways and Means. His speech was not so much a discussion, of the merits of the question from an economic standooint as a. noliti- as discussed and commented upom by the Washington papers, is an-! alyzed to be a political effort, thej sum and substance of which was' charging the Republicans with hy pocrisy, decit, humbuggery, and oth er sins of omission and commission, and one which was designed to bring forth applause and laughter more than thought. The Other Side of Reciprocity. Mr. Asher C. Hinds, of Maine, who is serving his first term as a Repub lican Congressman, but who has fcr more than fifteen years been the par liamentary advisor of the Speaker of the House of Representaives, repliei to Mr. Kitchin, making the firat speech in opposition to the reciprocity bill. Mr. Hinds' speech is one that is worth - reading and studying students and statesmen It is a most! thoughtful discussion of the econom ic phases of the reciprocity proposi tion, and presents so many salient facts, elucidated by strong and con vincing logic, that it has attracted the attention of the whole country. His speech, while being delivered with none of the fiery oratorical demon strations of a political stump speech, as was Mr. Kitchln's, yet was one that demanded the closest attention, and upon its conclusion he was sur rounded by his political friends and warmly congratulated. It was thought that the reciprocity bill would be brought to a vote on to-morrow, but this evening it is said that it will not reach a vote before Friday or Saturday. It will, of course, pass the House, and it now looks as if it would also pass the Senate by a close vote. The Senatorial Campaign in North Carolina. The most interesting part of Con gressman Kitchin's speech to North Carolinians will be that part in which he delivered some caustic strictures on the inconsistencies of Senator Sim mons. Mr. Kitchin read from several speeches which Mr. Simmons has made on the tariff question since he has been in the Senate, and also from speeches which he delivered to the voters of North Carolina when he was Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, . and from these speeches Mr. Kitchin showed that Mr. Simmons has now complete ly reversed the position which be formerly held. Mr. Kitchin pretended that he ws greatly surprised at this sudden re versal of position of a Senator from North Carolina, without any reason or explanation having been given for so great a change on a question so fundamental from a Democratic standpoint. If Mr. Kitchin had re membered how flippantly Mr. Sim mons shifted his position on the ship subsidy bill with the simple explana tion that he found his vote was un popular, he might be able to under stand a sudden shift on the part of Mr. Simmons on any question with scant explanation or without any ex planation. Is There a Simmons and Aycock Deal? . In this connection, an interesting story has reached here from North Carolina to the effect that Senator Simmons was in Raleigh on last Sat urday, and 'while there did not call upon Governor Kitchin, but was clos eted with ex-Governor Aycock. There is considerable speculation here as to whether or not Senator Simmons suc ceeded in getting Governor Aycock to agree to turn down the loud calls from his friends to enter the Sena torial race.

Captain Hurrell's boat was proceed ing np the coast in the wake of the launch "Cocopomelo," also bound North, when a leak developed and leaving his wife at the wheel he went below to make repairs. .

The United States custom House was in me aireci range; of tho attack arui tne, United States soldiers near there were forced seek shelter. Most of the residents of Douglas remained indoors or sought other places of safety. Some attempted to gain vantage point to view the field of, battle. Notwithstanding strict or ders of ,the American troops, many rushed to the international line in order to get a view of the fighting. They were here exposed to most im minent danger. With the firing of the first shot zed by Congress, and Secretary of Colonel Shunk ordered out all thejwar Dickinson confirmed 'that state- American cavalry available In Doug las. They were rushed quickly to the border and took up positions along the line. May of these men were exposed to the tire of the Mexi can troops, though there were no casualties among them during the early part of the battle. Company G, of the Arizona Nation al Guard, was also ordered . out and took up a position at the armory to await further orders. There were four troops of cavalry and one . of militia in Douglas. This was con-jacy sldered an ample force to protect the American line. Governor of Arizona Wire President Asking for Protection- Washington, D. C, May 17. Pres- jdent Taft to-night replied to a mes-i rrom Governor Kicnara tJ. sioani Arizona asking protection for citl-j zens of Dougiag from the fire of Fed-j erals and insurrectos; that he was! loth to endanger Americans in Mexico by taking so radical a step as send-j Ing American troops across the bor i der to prevent further fighting. The President, in his telegram to the Governor, stated that the situa tion might justify him in ordering troops to cross' the border and at tempt to stop the fighting or to fire upon both contestants from the American side. He hesitated to take such a step, however, because of thej posslblllty of resistance and greater bloodshed and the danger of having his motives misconstruted and mis represented and arousing Mexicans against many thousands of Ameri cans now in Mexico and jeopardizing their lives and property. In view of the conditions, there fore, the President felt that he could not order the troops at Doug las to cross the border, but he again emphasized the advisability of the people of Douglas avoiding exposing themselves to flying bullets. In his message to President Taft. Governor Sloan declared that the situation pointed to a repetition of to-day's casualties on to-morrow. That in his judgment radical meas ures are necessary to protect inno cent ' Americans, and adding that if anything :an be done to stop the fighting at Agua Priesta, the situa tion calls for such action. "It is impossible to safeguard the people of Douglas unless the town can be vacated," Governor Sloan said." The reply of the President prompt ly transmitted, said: "I have made urgent demands upon the Mexican government to is sue instructions to prevent firing across border hy Mexican Federal troops, and am waiting reply.

President Taft felt to-night that h has done personally ali that be doc by a Chief Executive to control th situation along the Mexican border. ne ana ms auvieert Deueve mat now Congress must say whether the aitu- toation is grave enough to warrant in tervention and its consequences. President Taft has told callers that he does not contemplate send ing a special message to Congress re lating to the condition of affairs In in Mexico. He has shown to lead ers of both the Senat and Housa the confidential correspondence deal ing with Mexico. He has let It be known that no United States troops woud cross the line unless author- ment to-night. Intervention Would Protmbly Moan War. No one here doubts ttist Interven tion would mean war. War in Mexi co, the President's advisers say. would mean a long drawn cut strug gle in which the Mexican Federals and the Mexican insurrectos might toon be found fighting tide by side and would dissipate all the good feeling that years of careful dlplom has created between the United States and the Latin-American coun tries.
