The Democratic organ here at the State capital I not only noted for lu unreliability in the publication of news, and also for lu cowardly abue and misrepresentation of every one that does not take orders from that sheet, but it is also noted for its monumental cheek. That paper has probably never exhibited a greater piece of gall and cheek than In get ting out on Thanksgiving Day whatj it called an Educational Thanksgiving Edition, If there is any one thing in North Carolina that the children who attend public schools and their parents can not be thankful fer, it is the Demo cratic management of the public school system. There are a number of things for which our people are duly thankful. The Raleigh organ, however, attempta to make the peo ple believe that the one thing .for which they ought to bo thankful is for a very fine public school system. In this connection, it is noticeable that the Greensboro Dally News, which pretends to pose as an inde pendent Republican paper, approves of the conduct of the News and Ob server, as shown by the following editorial: "The News and Observer is sued a comprehensive and valu able educational Thanksgiving edition yesterday." Any paper that is a real friend of the public schools of the State would have either kept silent about this ed ucational Thanksgiving edition of the News and Observer, or else it would have . taken this occasion to have stated the facts about the misman agement of the public schools by the Democratic machine. The above, how ever, is one of the explanations as to why the Raleigh News and Observer no longer refers to the Greensboro Daily News as the "subsidized news." PROFESSOR COON ON OUR PUB LIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. Prof. Chas. L. Coon, President of the North Carolina Teachers' Assem bly, delivered his anual address be fore the Assembly In Raleigh last Thursday night and stated some facts that were not relished by the Demo cratic politicians who are now man ipulating the public school affairs In North Carolina. Professor Coon Is superintendent of the graded schools In Wilson, and was an assistant in Superintendent Joyner's office for a few years, and should be well ac quainted with the affairs of the pub lice schools in this State. Professor Coon stated that our public school system was a patch work and that the County Boards of f Education. County Superintendents', don U8 tnere is iust one war 111 'wbich and teachers were often selected bytney can nX us accomplish a hun polltlclans regardless of their fitness; dred Per cent more 8od- Ifc this: for such responsible positions. He Let every subscriber lend this issue proceeded to show how the common of the paper, after he has read it, to schools are neglected and how the one of nIs neighbors who is not a last Legislature while appropriating the people's money, failed to provide funds for the education of the young children of the State. Ha tMnV if wrrmr tn0K wrong to establish high schools. when elementary schools are run only ninety days in the year, and that many of the high schools are at present little more than poor elementary schools. The speaker said his self-respect forced him to resent the fact that the teaching profession had turned over the making of an educational policy to the politicians, doctors, law yers, and editors. He said the Text-Book Commission that selected the books to be used in the public schools should be com posed of persons thorouhgly familiar with the school work. It is a noted fact that the Text Book Commission that has just se lected the text-books to he used for the next five years was not composed of a single school teacher. - Professor Coon said you would not hire a blacksmith to teach, neither would you get a teacher to look after legal business. , - ' We are printing apportion of his speech la this iuse ad will cosclade lo lo our ceil laiae.

The Western Carolina Enterprise, in a leading editorial reviewing the life and work of the late Joseph Pearson Caldwell, sari: "Being surrounded as he wa with the bitter prejudice of civil strife and the poison of recon struction. Joseph P. Caldwell' great soul was too splendid to permit him to be a narrow par tisan. While others sought to keep alive sectional hatred and prolongue the effects of the curse upon our State, this man stood almost alone fighting the battles of the pre&snt and pre paring hi people for the prob lems of the future. His virtues were many, but this is the best index to his character, the best evidence of his greatness, and this will be the finest monu ment to his memory." The editor of the Enterprise em phasizes the very point made by The Caucasian 'last week, that among the many services which Mr. Caldwell rendered his State and his country the most conspicuous and valued one was his bold and courageous fight to break down the barriers of partisan and sectional prejudice, and to strive for intellectual freedom and independence of thought and action. The Caucasian, in its last issue, discussing this great service render ed the State and the South by Mr. Caldwell, said that he was the one man above all others who did most to perform this great service for the South, when there was the greatest need for such service to be perform ed and when there were so few with the courage and wisdom to do it. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The President's third annual mes sage to Congress deals entirely with the trust question. Mr. Taft does not favor amending or repealing the present law, but favors the passage of a Federal incorporation law and the creation of an executive bureau, or commission with powers to super vise corporations chartered under the Federal law. The tariff board has not yet made its report to the President, but after It makes its report Mr. Taft will send another message to Congress making recommendations as to certain sched ules in the tariff law. A WORD WITH OUR READERS. Every mail brings us many letters expressing the highest praise and ap preciation for this paper. They all say that The Caucasian Is better now than ever before. Many of them de clare that Tho Caucasian is the best paper in the State. Our readers all express a wish and a desire that ev erybody could read this paper each week. We appreciate these expressions greatly, but If our readers will par- subscriber.

If be does, then send in his subscription 10 US befor6 nxt lB,me' if P031" ble. Some of our readers have sent, us clubs of five and ten. But every read er ought to try and send us at least one subscription. Do this, and then we. can speak to twice as many peo ple every week. - THE COST OF DEMOCRATIC MA CHINE RULE. A tax-payer of Wayne County writes to the Clinton News-Dispatch that the taxes paid last year on a cer tain piece of "property amounted to $238, and that the taxes this year will be $273.90; that is, an increase of $35.90 on exactly the same prop erty. ' : - " " ; ' v. 1 In this connection, we call atten tion to the fact that Mr. C. G. Cara- wan, in a communication in the last issue of The Caucasian, says that the changing of the public school books in the school at his place will cost the-parents of the children at least $125. He says this Is true, In a school where there are sty ahsxsdred pu pils, and ask If It U possible that the tame this U true all over the Stat. He also want to know vby these chocl-books were chanced asd who is profiting by It. Here are two striking object-lessons of Democratic incompetency and extravagance, and we may add, rah-Wry. "The Attorney-General of Vir ginia sound a note against the school book trust, which he say 1 over-riding Virginia. Vir ginia Isn't the only State suffer ing from the exactions of the hook trust, if one Is to judge by the frequent changes in school books and the number each pupil has to buy." States vllle Landmark. One patron of the public school in Wake County told us some days ago that the law requiring the new school books would cost him twenty- five dollars this year, and this isn't i an isolated case either. "An exchange, inclined to be come a reactionary, wants a defi nition of a progressive Democrat. Briefly, a progressive Democrat is one that is not needing from the hand of a political boss, nor sneezing when a trust magnate takes snuff." Webster's Weekly. If Webster's Weekly has given the proper symptoms, then when a Dem ocrat becomes a progressive Demo crat, he is In reality a Republican. DISGUSTED WITH DEMOCRATIC ABUSE. Why This Lady Decided to Take The Caucasian Doesn't Want Woman Suffrage Until the Men Learn to Vote Right Advises Young Boys anl( Girls to Stay on the Farm. The following communication was written by one of our lady readers In Harnett county: Mr. Editor: The Caucasian has been a welcome visitor at our home ten months or more. We like it bet ter than any other newsDaDer. I think every issue gets better. I like to read the interesting letters writ- en by The Caucasian family, also the general news. I will tell you how t came about that we are taking your most excellent paper. In 1910 we were taking a Democratic paper. It was printed at Fayetteville. I guess every one remembers what a time they had oyer the nomination or Godwin and Clark what hard things were said about Mr. Godwin. They seemed to think he wasn't fit for anything. But after he got the nomination, what did they say then? They were all Godwin men. What was the next step? They turned on Mr. Butler and the Republicans. Every reading man and woman will remember what was said. I became disgusted with the paper and said I would be so glad when our time was out, for It was so sacreligious it made me nervous to read it What we wanted was a paper to give the news. We were taking re ligious and farm papers, also maga zines, but they didn't give the gen eral news. One day I happened to come across The Caucasian. I liked it so well I got after my husband to subscribe for the paper. He said he was taking more papers than he could read and it was useless to spend money for papers when he couldn't read them. I said to him, x rr i a u jruu wuum stop mat f ay etteville paper." He said his time was out on that paper and wished I would write and tell them to stop It. Of course I was anxious to do so, and I wrote to another editor in these words, "Enclosed will find $1.00, for which send me The Cau- caslon one year." I saw in one of my magazinei that a lady said she wanted the day to come when the ladies could vote same as the men. I disagree with that lady on voting. What would, be the good of a woman voting if they voted the same as the men? The men have been voting for how long, and you have only to look around you and see what a job they have made of the privilege. I would not want to vote for a political boss that would hand me two dollars and tell me I was a good one. I would not want to vote for a job of sweeping streets or mopping up the floors in the city haU or court house or some other job that would make woman a useless nuisance for the rest of her life and take her away from some de cent occupation where she is of real use to the community. I don't want the women to vote same as 'the men until the men learn to vote right. and the men have not learned how to vote right yet We want the women to vote the power of good government back into the hands of the people. We want the woman to clean up the country with the mop or righteousness and decency and hundreds of other things I could mention. I want to say a few words to the young people. I very often read about young girls and boys leaving their farm homes for a life In the city. They should think well before taking the ; step for the young girl or , boy who leaves the farm to live In the city may be facing not only failure, but ruin as welL The city Isn't flowing with milk and honey, asd est ta the cott8ttr ra rmmtm tr, .1 mm.A ttM 1r . m mm mm m mm m r mpm w ttr to crcsx.

Congressman Long-worth Diacoarwge the Use of Iloosevelt Name as a Candidate. A press dispatch sent out from Washington Monday afternoon says: "Representative Nicholas Long worth, of Ohio, after spending a day with his father-in-law, former Presi dent Roosevelt, made this announce ment to-day: 'Like all real friends of Mr. Roosevelt, I am discouraging, and will continue to discourage any effort to make him the Republican nominee for President In the conven tion of 1912 "Mr. Longworth's statement was in reply to Chairman Brown, of the Be - publican Executive committee orj Ohio, who said that State preferred! Roosevelt to Taft or La Follete." Smallpox in Iredell County. Just a few words from a subscriber to The Landmark in regard to the smallpox situation up here in north Iredell. While the information ap pears not to reach The Landmark, the disease seems to still lurk In the community. In addition to the two families first reported in The Land mark as having the disease, the fam ily of Mr. Early Wooten has had it and is just recovering from it; and the whole family of Mr. Ally Rene gar, consisting of himself, wife and two children, now has the disease, and appear to be suffering a great deal worse than those who first had it, indicating that the disease is get- ting more severe as it spreads, though none or tne last-namea cases nave had any medical attention at all. Houstonvllle Correspondent Statea vllle Landmark. Negro Paper Claims it Elected the Demoratic Governor of Virginia, The Lincoln Times. Up In Boston, Mass., there is a ne gro newspaper called "The Guar dian." In Its Issue celebrating the election of a Democratic Governor the paper is literally dotted with the protraits of "colored gentlemen' who helped turn the trick. Here are the head lines telling of the "great negro victory." "Fosa re-elected by 8,000 votes. Great bolt of colored voters saved day for Democratic Governor 20,- 000 negro voters did it. Great was the victory of the colored men of Massachusetts Success to Governor Eugene Fosa, Down with Taft, the Negro Hater." In another screaming headline "The Guardian" says: "Democrats Defeat Negro Dis franchisement in Maryland White Democratic counties went Democrat ic and against disfranchisement Colored voters helped the Democrats who killed Disfranchisement Result due to Independent colored voters." We have filed away for future ref erence this copy of "The Guardian." We know some North Carolina Dem ocrats who would take the "jimmies" if' this spotted and speckled Demo cratic organ which claims the credit for carrying Massachusetts Demo cratic, were shaken at them.

A, Bowlaad. It was ta evidence that defendants had been having Illicit relation with the girl, who was thirteen years old last July, since Acgust, two year ago. and that the girl had submitted under fear, defendant having threat ened to kill her and blow his own brains out If she told any one. Jus tice Rowland held that defendant was guilty of a capital felony and committed him to jsil without bond. As mentioned in last Thursday's Robesonian, Britt was arrested here Tuesday night of last week for being drunk and lodged In jsil, and the next morning, before he could be tried In the mayor's court, his wife, who was the widow of Enoch Wal- ters and who was married to Britt about five years ago, came to town and had a warrant issued for him on the charge as given above. I)if mncbJii White Men. , Un0n Republican. The Republican has frequently said that white men were disfranchised under the Democratic election law and the editorial qualification and if it was carried out to the letter there would be quite an army. In canvass ing the local tobacco warehouses tho local editor finds quite a number ott farmers, the bone and sinew of the land, who can neither read nor write. ) If these men were put to the test they would be disfranchised under, the Democratic created election law. j Our agent was In attendance at Ca-' barrus County court last week and there met Mr. Jonathan Rabon, who lives in Concord Township, Cabarrus County. He is eighty-five years old' and a Confederate soldier, has never committed a crime, it is said, and was severely wounded in one of the bat tles of the Civil War. Mr. Rabon 8ays tnat he was disfranchised at tne Inaf AlnAflnn Kaq u e a K a i 1 A $ read and write. These are the fact as our agent heard them from Mr. Rabon an old soldier, wounded, humble and poor and yet disfranchis ed by the Democrats for no other rea son, presumably, than that he votes the Republican ticket Democratic "Good Government In Alabama. Albemarle Chronicle. "Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 2. A reign of terror exists in the vicinity of Lewisburg and Arcadia, about four miles north of Birmingham, as a result of recent assassinations for which so far no arrests have been made because it is reported the en tire community is intimidated into not giving Information. Six white men and eleven negroes have been slain in that section in the past eigh teen months. Six of the negroes have been killed within the past six days, an average of one a day having been maintained since last Saturday. Dep uty sheriffs have received blackhand letters not to approach the section." So the people of Alabama must have the regulation brand of Demo cratic good government.
