Thkkk Vfoirrsn. tic w 30 THE GENESIS OF REI'CBLICA.Y SLCCTKSS IN THE SOUTH. In another column we publish a very fair and thoughtful editorial copied from tho Columbia, S. C. Daily Record. This paper, though still keeping the Democratic label, has confessed and stated a great economic and po litical truth, which all well-informed and thoughtful people everywhere know, but which few men while they Etill affiliate with the Democratic party are willing to admit. That paper realizes that the pres ent prosperity of the South, and its future growth and developmeat, de pend upon the government, both State and National, being conducted on the broad progressive principles of the Republican party. That paper real izes that the Republican policies are American policies; that they repre sent every progressive movement that has been made in this country for the uplift of all of the people, and that the continuation of those policies means the maintenance of our high plane of living and prosperity as against the Democratic policy which would kick over the protection wall that holds out cheap foreign labor and cheap foreign goods. The masses of the voters in the South are above the average intelli gence of voters, and we believe that a majority of them to-day know these truths, and those who do not will soon learn them; but this Democratic paper has wisely stated the only two obstacles in the way of the average Yoter casting his vote according to his judgment and for his own best interest. The old rotten Republican referee system in the South has been opposed to Republican growth.. The leaders of this machine in every State wanted to keep the party small enough for men of their caliber to dominate it simply as a patronage machine. Another thing that has prevented Republican growth has been inborn prejudice, which has been accentu ated and intensified by the conditions following- th war Tho P.lairalanH administration was such, a terrific ob ject lesson that it did much to dis solve and dissipate this prejudice. One more Democratic administration would complete the job, and, as our South Carolina contemporary says, the only virtue that could come from another Democratic national admin istration would be to arouse the man hood and intelligence of Southern voters to vote the Republican ticket for the interest of himself and his country. EVERYBODY FAVORS GOOD ROADS, BUT It would not be such a hard matter to get the people to favor good roads if all the money now set apart for that work was spent judiciously. Take Wake County, for instance. A good sum of money is appropriated for road work in this county and still some of the public roads in. the coun ty haven't been worked in three years. Another road that we have in mind hasn't, been worked in over a year, and it took a delegation from that section of the county, headed by a lawyer, to induce the authorities to have the work done then. And what is true in Wake is true in many oth er counties in the State. Almost ev ery one favors good roads when they know that the money will be properly expended, but the voters as 'a whole will never favor increasing their tax es for "improving" the roads when they have no assurance as to how the money will be expended. . THE TARIFF AND PROSPERITY. The Democratic spell-binders claim that the tariff does not put one cent in the , farmers or laboring man's pocket. But the following from the last Issue of the Saturday Evening Post would Indicate that the tariff does benefit the laboring man, The Post says: , . , "British Board of Trade inves tigations-extending over four ; years show that, where the Brit ish workman earns a dollar, the German workman earns eighty- three cent, the French work man seventy-five cest. the Bel gian workman tixty-three cents and the American workman two dollar and thirty-two cents; alio, that the food for which the British workman pay a dol lar at boise would cost him a dollar and seventeen cau In G?nnany, ninety-nice cents In France or Belgium, and a dollar and forty-three cent In the United State where, by the way, the hours of labor are 4 per cent shorter than in Kng- j land." ! It will be seen from the above that -: the laboring man in the United States! receives two dollars and sixty-two j cents while the British laborer re-j Ceivesonly one collar a day and worcs! longer hours, and that while the! American workman pays one dollar; and forty cents for the same articles; which the British workman pays only I j one dollar, still the American work-?es man has one dollar and twenty-two j cents left after buying bia articles,? while the British workman has noth ing left. And some of the necessities of life cost even more In England than in America. England has free trade, while! America has a protective tariff, which! not only protects the industries but also protects the laboring man against the competition of articles manufactured by cheap foreign labor. The Durham Sun, a Democratic pa per, publishes a table of statistics showing that the laborer in the Unit ed States receives twice as much, and in some cases three times as much as the laborer In England receives for the same class of work. The Sun in commenting on the subject says: "It will be seen from this statement that the wages of Eng lish workingmen is less than half and in many cases less than one-third the - amount paid his American cousins. The necessi ties of life are as high in Eng land as in America and in some cases higher. Especially is this true of food stuffs. This high cost of living and low wage re duces the standard of living of the English workingman to a miserably low level." If the tariff does not benefit the farmer, the laboring man, as well as the industries, then why do they all prosper more in America than else where? DEMOCRATIC ELECTION THIEVES Baltimore city is stirred over frauds that are coming to light in connection with the recent Democrat ic primary held in Baltimore. It ap pears some men voted as many as six times and that they searched the grave-yard and voted dead men. The Baltimore Evening Sun, commenting on the work of the election crooks in that city, says: "Well-posted men declared to day that the city is on the verge of hearing disclosures of an al most unbelievable nature. From the information already in the hands of the authorities it is learned that there are men walk ing the streets of Baltimore to day who voted as many as six times during the primary elec tion of August 29. Names of men who never had any exist ence in being were, it is said, voted by gangs of repeaters in different parts of the city, and new facts learned late this after noon seemed to indicate that even the graveyards had been searched for Democratic voters. "An attempt at a verification of the information showed that at one house from which repeat ers are said to have been regis tered there were two voters of the same name and a third with the same first and last names, it being made different by the ad dition of an initial. "Names of registered Demo crats who were not allowed to vote in the primary because 'they had already been voted for are in the hands of the authorities, and it is said that they are con fident that what is coming will equal, if not eclipse, any of the sensational investigations of ring rule made in recent s years in other large American cities." The situation in Baltimore reminds us of the way some of the Democrats coted in Wilmington in 1898 and 1900. A traveling man told the writer that he voted tho Democratic ticket in Wilmington four times in one day. .Some of the Democrats are talking of reforming elections. Well, it is time, and they should begin the re form within their own party. Judging from many reports from Maine, the general public in that State will not notice the difference whether the State has voted "wet" they claim it has been weMn reality all along.

It's hands dangerous to fall into of the taxing power. the Good roads are necessary, but giv- mg jods to pany woraers is more necssary. It takes a heap of hard-earned tax- to pay officers here in a Christian and prohibition State. Why not tax dogs and let the mon- ey go to free schools, rather than keep the dogs up to give special priv-j Ilege to hunters? Most laws enacted now are for the beDefit of h few who' We4 agents, lobby than through the Legis lature. Officials think the people should be willing to work hard from patriotic motives, but the officers themselves should have big salaries for the lit tle they do. The Revolutionary War was fought for just taxation. There should nowing of an unmentionable appliance in bei another revolution for the same reason not with musket and can non, hut with honest ballots. Senator Butler's Raleigh speech which is now in pamphlet form, should be read by every voter. It is broad, pointed, timely and unan swerable. It's a grand speech. The people are asleep to their in terests. The Bible teaches us to "watch and pray." The people don't watch enough to see that the leaders who do the "prying," do it with the letter 'e" instead of the letter "a." Democrats squall loud about the tariff building up manufacturing and is prophesied that he will remain here money monopoly in the North. Butuietly working on the case in hope go right on in the State multiplying! of concentrating evidence and there and' building up office and salary by bringing about arrests, monopoly. Manufacturing does give! Coroner's Jury Fails to Place the iaoor employment, ana tne money monopoly North does loan us money to pay our debts caused by high sala ries and mismanagement. But of- i i v , . fice and salary monopoly in the State,! not only does not give labor employ-j ment, but actually takes the wages of f I"""13 lu- "s" anu un-r just taxes to increase its power and to further oppress the people. See? The taxing power has begun to in crease the tax on farmers. And un less they do more than complain un less they rebel at the ballot box, there is no telling how high they will run their taxes. The three Democrat papers in Ca tawba County are divided on the Sen atorial question as follows: The New ton Enterprise is for Simmons, the Catawba County News is for Kitch in and the Hickory Democrat is for Aycock. But they will be one when they find out which one. When they get the postmasters, post-office clerks and mail carriers all under civil service, then there will be no fussing over that pie. But civil or uncivila, if the Democrats carry the National election, they will give all these places to Democrats. If there is one thing they believe in, it is "to the victors belong the spoils." WITH THE EDITORS. -Business will remain dull until the American people are assured that the tariff destroyers will not control this government after next election. The Lincoln Times.

The young man Cooper from Johnson City, Tenn., ho as engaged to the dead girl. has been exonerated of having any knowledge of the crime. A portion af a special from Hen dersonville to yesterday's Charlotte Observer, says: "In summing up the evidence to the jury, and in speaking of the pos sible causes of Myrtle Hawkins' death, Coroner Klrb said that she might have come to her death from three causes: From shock; from en trance of air into the veins, or from a hemorrhage which could have re sulted from a criminal operation or a criminal assault. He told of the find- the dead girl's clothes. He said death could not have occurred from drowning, and if from an anesthetic no signs of It was found in her lungs.

"Coroer Kirk gave out the follow ing statement to the press: " 'The authorities will continue to carry on the investigation, and if any evidence is found, it will be present ed to the grand jury.'"
