WHAT IS "IiHWIKRISl.- We clip tbe following, from a re port of the testimony of Mr. Kohlaaat given before the Senate Ixrimer In vestigating committee: Wbat I have been fighting for twenty years is Lorimerism he declared. " 'Ixjrimerigm' he defined as an 'affiliation and co-operation and cohesion of Democrats and Republicans for party pelf for private pelf.' " There has been more or lees eTl- t dence of a "co-operation and cohe-, sion" between the Democratic boss of North Carolina and the boss of the old repudiated Republican referee machine of this State. That there has been "party" or "private pelf" as between these parties we do not now charge, because we have not the proof, but that there has been "co-( operation and cohesion" between them is known.

"JuHtke," in an interesting letter in the last issue of the Winston "Re publican," says: "Too many of our political leaders are like weather vanes shifting their positions to catch the breezes no matter what may i be the cause or the source from ! whence they come. Just as was the case with Alexander, the idol maker of Ephesus, when Paul was preaching the Christian re- i ligion and had cured the young j man, who, like so many In this day and generation, had fallen asleep during the service and had the misfortune to fall out of a window and was practically killed.

The Charlotte Observer, in an ed itorial under tbe above heading, says: "The adoption of a new list of public school books in South Carolina has been followed as was anticipated by a loud vol . ume of protest over the addi tional cost to the parents of the Stats which the changes will make necessary. Rather unex pectedly, State Superintendent or Education J. E. Swearingen has put himself at the head of the protestaats and is perfectly frank in voicing his total disap proval of the lists as adopted. This fact lends much greater weight to the protest than it would otherwise have. Under these circumstances it is inter esting to note that the State of Ohio is having trouble with a similar although not identical problem. It has been discovered that certain firms in the book publishing business in Ohio are selling their product at a smaller figure in other States than is be ing paid in their own. As there is no high tariff to explain the discrepancy, the Ohio school book commission promptly set about bringing the publishers to a different frame of mind. The commission even declares that, in case the publishers are ob durate, they will see whether or not Ohio cannot go into-the bus iness itself of publishing all the - text-books used in its public schools." custom of the Democratic party, brought to light an infamous law especially the Southern Democratic passed by the last Legislature which.

"The attention of all county and town officers is directed especially to the following facts in connection with the North Carolina dissecting law, as amended by the Legislature of "By section 2 of the law: (1) That the North Carolina Board of Anatomy has a legal right to the bodies of all criminals not claimed within thirty-six hours by a relative of the second de gree of consanguinity, or by hus band or wife. That, in any case, the claimant must pay the ex- penses of burial, or the body goes to the Board of Anatomy. That this act embraces the bod ies of those serving sentences in the county jails and upon the county roads, as well as those of State convicts: Provided, the case is not covered by one of the exceptions included in this act. "(2) That the North Carolina Board of Anatomy has a legal right to any and all dead bodies, whether criminals or not, which have to be buried at public ex pense. Provided, they do not come under one of the exceptions included in this act. "Please take notice that this relieves the counties and towns of the expense of burying all such bodies; and and makes it the duty of all State, county and town officers to notify the ac credited representative of the Board of Anatomy that said bod ies are subject by law to his dis posal. , "The 'exceptions' referred to in this communication are incor porated 4n Section 2 of the law as enacted by this Legislature and read as follows: "Provided, such body be not claimed within thirty-six hours, to be disposed of without ex pense to the State, county or town, by any relative within the second degree of consanguinity, or by the husband or wife of such deceased person: Provided, that the body of a Confederate soldier or of the wife of a Con federate soldier to be excepted from the provisions of this act, and that the body of no white person shall be delivered to any school for the colored race: Provided, further, that this act shall not apply to the dead bod ies of persons who are inmates of State Hospitals, or to the bod ies of travelers or strangers who die suddenly, or to the bodies of persons who die in the State School for the Blind or the Deaf and Dumb, or any other State school: Provided, further, that this act shall not apply to in mates of county homes." What a shame and horror it Is to think the Legislature of North Caro lina would -pass a law that would give to the dissecting rooms of the medical schools the body of every person who dies in the State who does not come under the exceptions given above.
