The Democratic politicians should call another meeting of the Ananias Club frr the purpose of admitting new members and electing new of ficers for the present year. Col. Uryan tears the investigation of the money trust by the Democratic ,-omr:tiitt e will prove a farce, and here are many others who think the Co'oim 1's fears in this instance are well founded. Cu'.or.el WaCerson thinks Wilson's nomination would be a disaster and his e'.ectinn a calamity. The "dis aster' may come but there is no danger of the "calamity." Candidate Wood row Wilson has been termed an ingrate and his eracify has been severly questioned, .-til! some of the Democratic papers say that is why he should be nomi nated. Senator Tillman intimates that Col. Henry Watterson is little other than a scoundrel and Colonel Watterson intimates that somebody has lied, and the Wilson-Harvey-Watter-Till-man controversy has only started. Citizens of Raleigh will organize ! , , , j a Law and Order League to-night for- I the purpose of having the laws of tha i city enforced, notwithstanding tnat , Raleigh is already under the protec- tion of Democratic good government, j . j Col. Henry Watterson says that money and not patriotism counts in a Presidential campaign, and evi dently that is the way the trusts look at it. too, for they usually send the Democratic committee their check in stead of their patriotism. Some of the Democratic Congress men are strenuously opposed to in vestigating the money trust. Pos sibly they are afraid that such an investigation might show some fresh tracks of another one of their Dem ocratic candidates for President. Some of Governor Wilson's friends i claim thr.t Governor Harmon's cam- 1 i paign for the presidential nomina- j tion is costing ten times as much j as Wilson's. If that is true some of i the Democrats must close touch with the be in very 'money trust."

But how could it do otherwise when there will be no more money in the treasury? Speaker Champ Clark announces that he is in the race for the Demo cratic nomination for President, and that he is not leaning on anybody. He may not be leaning on anybody, hut there is a strong suspicion that he is leaning on . that $75,000,000 pension steal. LA FO LLKTTK MAV VrriIIfLW.

The following special from Wash ington to Saturday's Baltimore Ev ening Sun shows that the Democratic leaders are afraid to investigate the money trust as it may hurt them in securing campaign contributions and that they are now trying to prevent any effective investigation. The spe cial to the Sun says: "Democratic leaders are opposing the special committee investigation of the Money Trust because they do not want to incur the enmity of those who hold the purse strings on campaign contributions, was the in ference made today by Representa tive Lindbergh (Prog., Minn.), who originally introduced the resolution for the probe. "'It is quite apparent declared j Lindbergh, 'that the Democratic leaders are determined to prevent any effective investigation of. the money combination which dominates the ectire financial structure of the country, . The leaders scheme is to scatter th(? investigation among several standinc: committees, which will re- sult in an ineffective, futile, useless Probc. f lt results in any investiga- tion at all. The various committees will be like a handful of disunited soldiers shooting popguns at a strongly fortified enemy, for the finnnrinl nnwers will nnnnsp thA in-i e&Liauiuii iui an iiieir yuieuL re- .-uuiics. 'Just what the reason for the leaders' opposition to an energetic; aggressive investigation may be. is not quite apparent, but it is possible that the Money Trust control of the ources from which campaign contri butions have come in the past may ; have something to do with it. With j a presidential campaign in prospect ; they may not be willing to estrange beyond hope of reconciliation the 1 powers who hold m an iron grip the purse strings of the country. "It is certain that their present plan will nullify the attempt to se- cure a fair investigation of the money monopoly. That again proves my contention that caucuses are the ef fective means to defeat the public rights. I can frame a resolution for! the appointment of a special commit-; tee to investigate the matter which - if brought before the House so as to place every member on record, would be overwhelmingly carried. But the caucus furnishes the dodge." Postoffice Appointments. The following nominations for postmasters in North Carolina were;t (sent to the Senate Tuesday by Presi - ,ipnt Tift- Tnhn V?

(Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C, Feb. C. 1912. j Every day since tho Deri; ratic j House first assembled then? have i been more or less signs, constantly ! increasing in number, of serious dif- ferences of opinion among the Demd ;cratic leaders of the House. These ! divisions have constantly served to j call afresh to the minds of the peo j pie the fact that the Democratic par I ty when in power is never able to ! stand together for any constructive policy or program of legislation. This is because the Democratic party, is not a party of unity, of convictions on any great subject, but is a party made up of heterogeneous masses of people, none of whom agree, but who are held together simply as a party of opposition. The Money Trust. The most serious division that has occurred in the Democratic House has just developed over the proposi tion to .investigate Wall Street and the monytjustwhichas every oiv knows, is the greatest and most dan gerous trust in the country. Leader Underwood and Speaker Clark have both come out squarely against the nmrynsitinn nf invAfitintinp" h mnn t t and ,t j k ,f tne resolution will be stifled in a Demo cratic House, representing a party which has claimed to be horrified more about the danger of the money trust than by any other menace to our institutions.

" . One of these committees investi-i ated the Agricultural Department iind attempted to find something crooked, especially in the pure food department, presided over by Dr. Wiley. They utterly failed and were forced to give Dr. Wiley and the Ag ricultural Department a clean bill of health. " The investigation showed ; that Dr. Wiley has been performing a wonderful service to the people of tnis country in aetecting ana sup- pressing impure medicines. foods and impure The Patent Medicine Fraud. Dr. Wiley now comes back at the Democratic House and asks them to ?iv him further authority, and that ve will complete the great work that he has begun under the pure food law. He points out that there are fnt.cov nc,nf, Aitr-- ent patent medicines on the market, ; most of which are either dangerous j or of no value, and tlfet it is irnpos- sible to suppress them because they j are only required by the present law i to State on the label the different I drugs and the quantity of each con- ln"ed tberein. .

He says that if Congress will j give him such an amendment to the; . ;fe k law that he will suppress every impure or dangerous drug on the market. The House Ignoring the Facts. It is noticeable ,that so far the Democratic House haTe persisted in shutting their eyes to the facts gath ered by the tariff hoard authorized by law to gather "the facts as to. the difference in the cost of production here and abroad. , Instead of taking up the wool cratic House to try to find something , ,?u ,,w" r'" "Z at Anlera an- thev wer. rnmnel..d! quartered was next Inventlrated. crooked in the Government and dig Xn to depart hastllly.' leavln' aw, the!

They say that a man who can take a pen- sion from Carnegie's steel trust money can afford to accept a - contri - bution to his campaign fund from Mr. Ryan or any other magnate or nill - lionaire.
