I1YPOCIUSY KXICISK!. When the Democrats In the Hou? of HepreBentatlves were pressing their bill providing' for the publica tion of campaign exp-iif- before the election, Mr. Johnson, a progressive liepubliran from Kansas, offered an important arnr ulr:int. Thr fcut Btance of the amc-udn.ent was to pro vide that e x pen s s iri'-urn-l by bfth parties in party primaries hhotild also be published. He nhoAid that there were a number of Congressional IMs trirtH, etipecially in the South, where there was no real fight on the day of election between the parties. He pointed out the fact that there were many districts so overwhelming- ly controlled by one party that the:ton waa the ma,n Issue only fight to determine who should i S A 1 f t, .

This proposition was so fair and vitally important to any effective bill for the publicity of campaign ex penses, that there was no answer that could be made to the argument, and upon a vote t:he House adopted the amendment, p Another amendment also offered, to the effect that not only should the persons who contributed campaign funds in thp nrimarips. as wpII ns nt ' ' the elections, be named, but that each one snouid De required to state whether or not this was his own money, and if not, from what sources the money contributed by him was derived. This was also so fair that no argument could be made in oppo siton, and it was adopted. These two amendments greatly rat tled the Democratic House, and the result was that they proceeded to have the bill re-committed, and these amendments were stricken out and the bill reported back without them. This performance shows how little real sincerity there is in the position assumed by the Democrats that they are in favor of publicity as to cam paign contributions in order to ele vate and purify politics. DO THEY WANT TO ECONOMIZE? A measure to reduce the mileage pay of Congressmen was before Con gress Monday, but the measure was defeated and the Congressmen will continue to draw ten cents per mile while they pay only two and one-half. C The Democratic politicians seem perfectly willing to hit some one else's pocketbook, but when it came to hitting their own nay! nay! Now, if the Democrats wanted to economize, as they claim they do, why didn't they vote to reduce the mileage pay to members to actual cost. They could have even added one cent per mile to actual cost of railroad ticket in order to pay for riding in elegant Pullman cars and then reduced the mileage pay so as to save the government 6 to 7 cents per mile on their pay but they didn't do it THE SOOTH ANNIVERSARY OP ST. JAMES EDITION OP THE BIBLE. On last Sunday a number of Epis copal churches in this country cele brated the three hundredth annlver sary of the publication of the St. James version of the English Bible. In 1607, King James, of England, appointed forty-four of the leading scholars of the universities of Eng land to make a new authorative translation of the Bible. They were engaged in this work for four years, and the Bible as we have it was fin ished and printed in the year 1611, mcunt fn the Slate Rxt year.

In the Demo cratic primaries in Raleigh last week, when only Democratic candidates e.e iu une iiem, cnarges were made by both factions that they had reg istered every negro possible on the Democratic registration books The News and Observer says there were announced that on May 1st they will i about two hundred registered in twojstart on a trip over the route begin-j Wards alone, and when the News Ob-'ning at Morehead City, arriving at! server found out that the majority of TWn nn Mav 9th.

Wheth-j A resolution was passed asking the er those negroes were registered for ? state Geological Survey to locate this tue purpose oi voting ior Josephus Daniels' ticket, or whether they were registered by the other Democratic faction, the fact remains that they were asked to register by Democrats, and were registered as Democrats, and if the white Democrats had let them alone their names would not have been on the registration books at all. The News and Observer de nies that any of the candidates ap- pealed to the negro vote, but it is Do well, and J. A.

In the arrangement of the Demo- cratic Committees of the House ofibear down on you tnere.s nothlng Representatives, Congressman God win of this State secured one of the two chairmanships accorded to North Carolina. The committee over which Mr. Godwin was appointed to preside reform in the civil service has never been considered an important com mittee. We are glad to see, how ever, that Congressman Godwin is determined to attempt to make his committee of some importance and real service. He has offered a reso lution investigate the Civil Ser vice, and The Caucasian wishes him much speed and success in his effort. Congressman Gudger says that Con gressman Kitchin should join the Republicans. As a matter of fact, all Democrats should try to get into the Republican party, but we want some of them to change their ways before being admitted.
