Thursday, April 4, 1912. THE CAUCASIAN. P Tlvtk EDITOR SMITHFRLD JOURNAL FilADE VERY RECKUSS STATEMENTS. Charged that Butler's Speech in Johnston Hurt Ticket, While a Correspondent from that Township Shows that it Increas ed its Republican Vote, While Other Townships Went Back Editor Standi Mad Because he had Some Trouble in Land ing a Federal Job and Wants to Burst up State Organization. Benson, N. C, April 2, 1912. Kditor Caucasian: I notice in the last week's Issue of the Smithfield Journal that Mr. J. C. Standi ha fccn fit again to shoot off his pop pun against Mr. Morehead and the Butlers. I notice he tries to leave ter up with Mr. A. L. Barefoot and turned Senator Butler's letter over to him and be promised me to take the matter up with Mr. Standi. I learn ed very soon from Mr. Barefoot that Mr. Standi was opposed to Mr. But ler's coming to the county. 1 wrote the impression that Butler's earning the Senator again, and he finally to Johnston was the cause of the poor showing made in this county last f-hction. Now, I am surprised at Mr. Stan di making such reckless statements. Mr. Butler spoke here in Banner Township, the only place he spoke In the county, and we made a good sub stantial gain in the township. The highest majority we had ever beat the Democrats before last election was S4. which took place in only a few days after Marlon Butler spoke here, went Republican 107. That doesn't look like Bulter did any harm in Johnston. A great many other town ships made considerable loss. I have always liked Mr. Standi personally, but politically, I think he is so much under the influence of Mr. Duncan that he has entirely lost sight of what is right. Now, as for Mr. Butler's speaking here, I will shoulder all of tlat on myself. A great many Republicans from Johnston, Sampson and Harnett Counties came to me and asked me if I could not get Mr. Butler to make us a speech in Benson. I wrote Mr. Uutler about making us a speech. He answered and said he would be pleased to make us one speech in the county, but said the Chairman, Mr. tancil, was the proper person to ex tend the invitation. I took the mat- promised to come to Benson and speak. Just a few days later I re ceived, a telegram from Mr. Butler at Graham stating that Mr. Stan di was Insisting on Mr. Morehead not letting him speak at Benson, the Senator wanted to know If I did not think It best to change the appoint ment to Dunn instead of Benson. I consulted a number of influential Re publicans about the matter, includ ing the Chairman of the Republican Committee of Harnett, and Mr. W. C. Byrd, our Senatorial candidate, and they all wrote Mr. Morehead and insisted on the speaking being at Benson. I think Mr. Standi had the same right to be for Mr. Duncan that I and others had to be for Mr. Morehead. but I do not see any sensi ble reason why he should have been Insulting to the Morehead men through the columns of his paper. He was just as insulting to the More head men after Mr. Morehead was made State Chairman as he was be fore. If Mr. Butler could have made us a speech in every township In Johnston County and Standi had con ducted himself in the proper way Johnston County would have gone Republican instead. of increasing her Democratic majority.

(To be continued.) i A REMARKABLE TREASON CASE. FOR JUST PROTECTION. Roosevelt Declares Tariff Must Be Fair to the Farmer and Wage Worker. Albert Lea, Minn., March 29. Here in the home district of the man he has frequently assailed on the stump, former Congressman "Jim" Tawney, Colonel Roosevelt today dis cussed the tariff, repeating in almost its entirety his tariff speech made at Sioux, Falls, on September 3, 1910. Colonel Roosevelt at that time said, in part: "Our tariff should be such a meas ure of protection as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad, and, as the cost of production is primarily labor cost, this means pri marily a tariff sufficient to make up for the difference in labor cost here and abroad. The American public wants to see the laboring man put on an equality with other citizens, but it does not want to see the tariff so arranged as to benefit primarily a few wealthy men." Colonel Roosevelt then indorsed the tariff commission idea as the only method whereby a proper bill could be framed, and in conclusion, said: "We believe this country is com mitted to the principle of the protec tive tariff, treated honestly as a prin ciple and not as a bundle of prefer ences, so that the benefits and bur dens may be fairly and evenly dis tributed, and special privilege elimi nated. We do not believe in any un warranted profit for anybody, but we do believe in a standard of protection adequate to maintain the high stan dard of protection adequate to main tain the high standard of living of American citizens. "The prime need in any future re vision of the schedules, or in any fu- velt discussed the recall of judicial decisions. Six judges, four of them on the Federal bench, were seated at the table with him. "My proposition has been discuss ed by Tny opponents in a frome of mind which makes hysteria seem calm by comparison," he said. "Somebody told me that I was right on that proposal, but that I shouldn't have interjected it into a campaign. They said 1 was not in the least in terested in the campaign except as a means of getting justice. I'd a mil lion times rather lose the campaign and get justice than win it without getting justice."

He may have remarkea that hiz ammunition wuz gettin' short, an it iz possible that the Eng lish admiral whispered somethin' like this in the ear ov Admiral Dewey: "Send your coal-carryin ships over to my fleet tonight an' we will fur nish you with enough coal for pres ent needs an to last you until you can steam to some American port. I may tell my officers to see that a few rounds ov big-gun ammunition are placed in the coal an' if you happen to find them you are an experienced naval commander an' know what to do with 'em when your coaling col liers get back to your fleet with the coal, etc." Az some ov our readers may not fully understand the rules ov International conduct when one country iz at war with another, I will say that while a small amount ov coal may be sold to any fleet in case ov a coal famine enough at least to enable the fleet to reach a home port, the sale must be confined to ture arrangement whatsoever affect- such a necessity only, or the govern- ing the tariff, is to protect the inter- How Love Got a, Couple in Outside Trouble A Most Unusual Case at Posen, Germany. A case will shortly be tried at Posen, Germany, that is already at tracting attention throughout the worm, wuiie it is a case oi ireason, is one of the most unique in the world's history and is even more in teresting because a love affair was the cause of it all. The following ac count of the case is taken from the Baltimore Sun: "Aattached to the prison at Posen was a young and brilliant officer named Schorverder, who had the mis fortune to be as poor as the proverb ial church mouse. He was deeply in love with a young lady -named Ida Mullerthal, but owing to his poverty the prospect of their becoming united In wedlock was very remote. The despair of the young lovers was well known to a Russian secret agent, who approached Lieutenant Schorverder and offered him a chance of making a large sum of money. Without any beating around the bush the agent explained precisely what the business was. 'I will give you,' he said to the young officer 'a small fortune, $25, 000 for a plan of the fortress of Posen. "Dazed by the officer the lieutenant agreed to the proposal, but he found it very difficult to carry out the task. His circumstances were common knowledge in the garrison and he was carefully watched. It was im possible for him to purloin a plan of the fortress and dispatch it to Russia, and after he had exhausted his inge nuity without being able to find a suitable scheme for earning the tempting heward, he took counsel with his intended bride. Her wo man's wit suggested a way out of the difficulty 'You shall tattoo the plan of the fortress on my back,' she said to him, and I shall easily be able to travel to Russia with it without be ing discovered. "Schorverder accepted the fantas tic and heroic suggestion. That same night, with the help of a needle and some Indian ink he began to tattoo an accurate plan of the fortress on the fair shoulders of Ida Mullerthal. The painful operation lasted several nights. Sometimes the tortured wo man had to beg for mercy and was allowed a little rest. But finally the work was completed, and Ida Muller thal could travel to Russia, carrying the plan with her in a place where it was hardly likely to be discovered. "The Russian agent had informed the military authorities or the fact that a young lady was bringing some important information, and Frauelln Mullerthal was received very kindly by the government of Warsaw. Re moving her coat and blouse, sne turn ed her back to the governor, saying, Here is the plan.' The experienced eye of the general took in all the de tails at a glance, a copy of the plan was made, and without a moment's sets down tast the office to be dis- I necessity m even a critical situation tributed among the men who work ' SUCQ WU2 UP against at the with their hands." time mentioned.

"But the very secrecy with which Schorverder had carried out his task had attracted suspicion. He had been seen, moreover, in the company of the Russian agent, who was well known in Posen. The silly extrava gance in which the young couple in dulged when Ida Mullerthal returned from Warsaw confirmed the suspic ion which had been aroused. Her dwelling was searched, but without result and finally she was arrested, although there was no proof that she had done anything wrong. But .the proof; was soon forthcoming., In ac cordance with the prison regulations, she had to be measured and inspect ed for purposes of Identification. The game was up. The Incriminat ing plan was found on her shoulders. This was the key to the mysterious journey to Rusia and the sudden wealth.
