THE CASIAN V! -,! f i VOL. XXX. RALEIGH, INJ. C. THURSDAY, 7. 1012 No. 3. EDITORIAL BRIEFS! ho? e Democrats who do not have P nay have to live on soup. It appears that the corporations fcave a mortgage on the State for four jears more. The Democratic free traders now wan: free pie, but many of them may have to exist on free soup instead. The farmers wh ovoted for a low pri'-'- fr their farm products now stand a chance to get what they vot ed for. Wilson doesn't want to get off the pay roll and will stick to his salary as governor of New Jersey to the last nmrm-nt. Possibly the Democrats will now ir. r ase the salary of teachers since th.y assessed them all for Wilson's fainpaign fund. Governor Wilson said Tuesday that feels like a school boy. Can a ool boy successfully run the affairs! ..f State of this great Nation? The Democratic ward-heelers have hail a rich harvest for the past few months, but many of them will now have to seek an honest living. John Schrank, the would-be slayer j of Colonel Roosevelt, thinks he should be pitied, but about everybody lse thinks he should be electrocuted. The Charlotte Observer says all the country needs now to make it happy is 15-cent cotton. Afraid the tountry won't be happy under Wil son. Wonder if Wilson will carry an extra session of Congress after March 4th to revise the tariff? Only won dering how long before the fun will begin. A dispatch from Pottsville, Pa., says that a man 102 years old voted for Wilson Tuesday. All of which shows that this man is in his second childhood. If the Democrats believe in State rights, why not believe in county and township rights and allow the people to name their own Board of Educa tion, Justices of the Peace, etc.? The Democrats will have a major ity in each branch of the next Legis lature, but the people need not look for them to pass an effective anti trust law until that Democratic mort gage to the corporations is paid off. A special from Klnston to to-day's News and Observer says an Onslow County farmer had a trout that had swallowed a knife, the big blade of the knife being open, and the fish lived after the ordeal. This sounds like some of the election returns. Wonder how Wilson expects to curb the trusts in the Nation when apparently he decs not know how to curb them In his own State? There are more trusts In New Jersey than a dozen other States In the Union, 2r, rtT,tir,,1Q tn hnsl-U,, tucj u.a. c luuuuuva j ness at the same old stand during! Wilson's term as Governor of thatj State. Before the election Chairman Webb! of the Democratic State Executive Committee claimed that the Demo cratic majority in North Carolina would be at least 75,000. Since the election the Democrats are claim- j ing only 50,000 What has become I of the other 25,000 voters? Possi tly one precinct in Halifax County did not send in as large Democratic majority as was expected. Governor Woodrow Wilson refers to the United Stales Senate as a "citadel of private interests," declar ing the people have not had posses sion of that body for a generation. That is a hard slap at the last Demo cratic Senate, which was during this generation. Does Governor Wilson tink the Democrats of to-day . are beier than those who held forth in the Senate during Cleveland's admin istration? Or, if the next Senate should be Democratic, does he think the "private interests" will still con trol it? NKW YO,lK ST Es 8,-37-! It Indebtedness Greater Than Na tional Debt. New York. Nov. 5.

John Schrank, who attempted to assassl nate Colonel Roosevelt, will be ar raigned In municipal court to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty either, Thursday or Friday, according to an nouncement made at the district at torney's office to-day.
