E CAUCASIAN - z -r mm m VOL. XXX. RALEIGH, N. C. THURSDAY, rVOVEIVieER 28. 1012. Mo. 4G, EDITORIAL BRIEFS The election is over and you can c0 look for that penitentiary "sur plus" to dwindle considerably. A New York heiress has eloped with an organist. And she will prob ably have to pay for the music. It is even possible that Governor Wilson may yet decide to knock Mr. Bryan into a cocked-hat. From the present outlook there will be an overproduction of Demo cratic office-seekers. An exchange notes that if Sim eons is a Progressive that he has eaten up the tag. An exchange thinks the Democrats will have to "buBt" the country or go back on their platform. They may do both. Wonder what make of bicycle President-elect Wilson rides? He should be careful not to use any "wheel" made by the trust. All the Democrats have seen President-elect Wilson's photograph, but there are a lot of the office-seekers still short on his autograph. If President Wilson doesn't carry out Mr. Bryan's ideas he may as well look for Mr. Bryan as his oppon ent for the nomination in 1916. In the beginning of his lecture at the Auditorium Mr. Bryan stated he was too full for utterance. And to think Raleigh Is a "dry" town, too! The Democrats are talking of al lowing a . President to serve only six years. They needn't worry, for Mr. Wilson will serve only four years. Senator Tillman is one continual eruption, but what has become of Senator Jeff Davis? He hasn't erupt ed In nearly six months. The Baltimore Sun says there will be no radical revision of the tariff by the Democrats. The Sun should give its definition of the word "radi cal." The New Hanover County bar wants a shorter form for mortgages. Further evidence that they are pre paring for hard times under the Dem ocratic administration. North Carolina is asking for three Cabinet positions under President Wilson. If every State is demanding that many Cabinet jobs President Wilson will find it necessary to create more than one new Cabinet position. Speaker Champ Clark passed Hon. W J. Bryan on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington a few days ago and re fused to speak. Still some may term that as further evidence of Demo cratic "harmony." The Lumberton Robesonlan says that two and one-half bales of cotton to the acre is not unusual In Robeson County. We will, of course, take the Robesonian's word for it, but that is "some cotton." Some of the North Carolina Demo crats have come to the front and de clared that the pledges of the party ia the nation will be kept. If they keep their pledges in the nation it ill certainly beat their record in North Carolina. The Washington Post has mention ed a prominent Democrat from the State of Washington for Secretary of the Interior under President Wilson. Doubtless the Washington Post will ho longer be welcome at the Ral egh News and Observer office. The Wilmington Star says there are a hundred Democrats to every office to the country. What a pity there are not enough jobs to go around, tot then you know the Democratic Politicians have a way of creating new officers to reward the faithful. Some of the Democratic papers ant President Wilson to send Mr. J. Bryan to some foreign coun try as an ambassador, so he can't meddle with Congress. But, these Democrats are mistaken if they hope to get rid of the "Peerless One" In 7 such way. A MILE-STONE IX HISTORY. Two Wonderful Occasions The Con federate Monument at Arlington and the Bine and the Gray at Gettysburg Trft'a Great Speech to the Confederacy. (Washington Post.) "What the Washington Post said a day or two ago in a leading editorial about President Taft's great speech at the Lotos Club, and also about the President being much stronger with the people of the whole country now than before the election is very true," said former Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, at the Willard, last night. "But there are more peo ple who are praising and commenting upon the President's speech made here last week welcoming the United Daughters of the Confederacy to the National Capital. Every expression that I have heard about that speech, and I have heard many from both the North and the South, agree that it was the greatest speech that the Pres ident has ever made. It was a won derful occasion in the history of our country, and it was a wonderful ad dress that met fully the occasion. "Colonel William Jennings Bryan, who was here, and who delivered the principal speech at the laying of the corner-stone of the Confederate Monument at Arlington, has express ed the same opinion. Colonel Bryan went from here to the capital of my State to deliver one of his noted pre pared lectures. He went outside of his manuscript at Raleigh to say that President Taft's speech on that occa sion was the greatest he had ever de livered, and that it was well for the Democratic party that it was made af ter the election, for it would have had a profound effect on the elec tion." When asked what he meant about it being a wonderful occasion. Sen ator Butler said: "The Daughters of the Confederacy were organized to care for the old, needy Confederate soldiers and their widows and to help educate their chil dren, to build appropriate monu ments, and to keep straight and pre serve Southern history. When Presi dent. Taft was Secretary of War he granted them permission to erect a monument to the Southern dead bu ried in the Confederate circle at Ar lington. The Daughters have now raised the money for a very hand some and imposing monument, and it was peculiarly fitting that President Taft should welcome their national organization to the National Capital, the first time they have met out of Dixie, to lay the corner-stone of this monument. "There will be another important history when next ! milestone in our year this beautiful Confederate Mon ument is unveiled. This will occur on July 3, 1913, the day before the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the battle of Gettysburg. Thousands up on thousands of old Confederate sol diers, who will be present at the un veiling of this Confederate Monu ment at Arlington, are arranging to go in a body from here to Gettysburg' to attend the fiftieth celebration of. that great battle, the greatest in the history of the world. "There is nothing in all history to equal what occurred here in Wash ington last week and what will occur at Gettysburg next year. This is the complete proof, if further proof was needed, that we are again and forever a united country under the Stars and Stripes." Rockefeller Invests in North Carolina Sand Hills. Charlotte Observer. The Thomasville Davidsonian thinks the recent purchase of 27,000 acres of sand hill land near Hoffman, on the Seaboard Air Line, by John D. Rockefeller, means about as much for North Carolina as Flagler's first pur chase in Florida meant for that State. However that may be, The Observer feels sure that it spells something good in the way of development In the Tar Heel State. The Davidson ian welcomes Rockefeller in the prop er spirit. He has it in his power to make the dreary waste between Ham let and Sanford "blossom as the rose," and that Is no doubt his idea. There are a few natural born carpers in every community there were some in Charlotte who wanted to keep out the Dukes but on the whole; Mr. Rockefeller will find North Carolina a State of hospitality. Wilton R. Dillard, representing the Carrol Adams Shoe Company and traveling out of Lynchburg, was found dead in his room at the Mc Adoo Hotel in Greensboro Thursday mofning. An empty carbolic acid vial and the burned lips and tongue of the dead man told the story. An opei letter, lying on the table, stated that business reverses were the cause. He leaves a wife and two children at Lynchburg. He has two brothers: Jack and A. P. Dillard, who travel North Carolina. Another brother was killed in jumping through tho skylight of the Hotel Richmond, Va,, a few days ago. THE "WILSON TARIFF Will ProbaDy be as Great Hodge Podge as the Bill Twenty Years Ago CONGRESS MEETS MONDAY Many of the Senator and Members of the Houmj Are Now in Wash ington Already Apparent That There is the Greatest Diversity of Opinion Among the Members as to the Policy the Democrats Will Fol low Under the Democratic Admin istration President-Elect Wilson Having His Own Troubles Pros pect for an Income Tax Sim mons and Daniels. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C, Nov. 26, 1912. Many Senators and members of the House of Representatives are coming Into Washington every day for the short session of Congress, which will open December 2. Most of those ar riving are Democrats. A number of progressive Republicans, however, have alsoarrived, while the stand pat Republicans are very scarce. It is already apparent that there is the greatest diversity of opinion among the Democratic Congressmen as to the policy that the party will follow under the Democratic , admin istration. Nearly every one that you see has a different view as to what their platform pledges meant. Some are in favor of slashing the tariff right and left knd going to practical ly a free trade basis. Others declare that they are for the old Democratic slogan, "Tariff for revenue only," but this class of Democrats are as badly divided among themselves as any of the others. Each one of this class wants the tariff taken off of products in the other fellow's State, but not in his own State. There is still another class of Dem ocrats who are practically for pro tection as a principle. They declare, or at least admit, that this country can never permit competition with the cheap pauper labor of foreign countries. There is the most prom - ising outlook imaginable for an old- time Democratic row, with forty-sev-: "Thousands of ambitious young wo en different varieties of Democrats ; men come to the cities, hoping to inl and with practically nothing done. prove their condition and gain an If any tariff bill is passed under j honorable livelihood.

President-El ect Wilson Taving His Own Troubles in Far-Away Ber muda. While all of this kind of trouble is brewing for President-elect Wll- son's administration, the news patches tell us that he is down in Bermuda feeling nervous and with a severe attack of indigestion, which has caused him to decline a number of entertainments prepared by the representatives of the English Gov ernment in charge of that island. We are also Informed by the press dis patches that he becomes very much irritated when a reporter or photog rapher approaches him, and the last report is that he threatened to whip a photographer who took a snapshot of him. It may he that Governor Wilson, at that distance, realizes the. trouble brewing in Washington and over the country for his administra-j tion, which is, in fact, an accidental ; administration. President Wilson was not elected i he was obliged to call on the Republi by a majority of the voters of the 'cans for aid to enable him to carry country. He received fewer votes than out his program for stopping further Bryan received at 'any one of the silver dilution of the currency. A three times that he ran for Presl-j majority of the Republicans prompt dent. The fact is, that Mr. Wilson is ly went to his assistance, and thus a minority President and that his pol icies lack two million votes of receiv ing the approval of the American peo ple. The Prospects for an Income Tax. Much interest has been aroused here among law-makers by the fact that the Income tax amendment to j the Constitution lacks only the en- dorsement of two more States to be- come a part of the organic law of the . land, it is mongni mai ai iewi nuui five to ten States that will have Legislatures assembling this winter will endorse the proposed amend ment to the Constitution, which will make the adoption of this important amendment certain. Several progressive Republican, In cluding Senator Borah, have already announced that they intend to tender their services to make speeches before the Legislatures of all of the States that have not yet endorsed the In come tax amendment which hold ses sions this winter. In fact, it Is clear that the progressive Republican Sen ators are determined that the in come tax proposition shall become a part of the Constitution this winter. so that oar Democratic friends may not dodge the issue but have an op portunity to enact a Just and whole some income tax law. Simmons and Daniels. Many people from the State here are asking how did radical (?) Jose phus DanieU and stand-pat F. M. Simmons get so close together in this campaign. That is a question that will continue to be asked for some time, if not longer. MYSTERY OP THE LOST. 5'00 pr80f ItoPP in the U. 8. Each Year. Fifty thousand people disappear every year in the United States, ac cording to the government reports. Some return after-a short absence; some after many months, or years; some never. Where do the missing ones go to? What is the secret of their lives? In 1911 there were 3,500 report ed missing in New York city alone, many never located. The total num ber that disappeared from 1906 to 19 li inclusive, and not located was 4.934. The case of Dorothy Arnold! is the story of many another girl who I does not gain the same amount of publicity. Their cases are Just as! baffling. They make no preparations for departure, and leave no clews behind. It is the city that hides most of them. All through the country the cities are continually swallowing up the thousands who are lost to kith and kin. Next to the citv is the wild open country in the northwest. There they go to hide and forget from all over the world. But what of the girls? Their rel atives arp mnr roHonf nf thalp rlo- appearance.

Very early in that term Cleveland got into trouble with the House and the Senate on the silver question and with the Senate on the tariff, and from that time to the end of his ser vice he was a President without a party to almost as complete a degree as was Tyler or Johnson. The Cleve land example will probably be brought to Mr. Wilson's attention by somebody, even if he overlooks it himself. That Democratic Congress gave Cleveland so much trouble that permitted him to push to enactment the greatest measure of his second term. Mr. Cleveland had a robust ness of fiber which the newly-elected President has not revealed thus far. Republicans will watch with consid erable interest the doings of the Dem ocrats in their return to power after twenty years exclusion from it. What Do You Think of It? Southport New8. Does the prohibiten law prevent the sale and consumption of liquor? The consumption of whiskey in the United States increased 450,000 gal lons, beer increased 320,000 barrels, and cigarettes 1,000.000 from July 1 to October 1, 1912. So says the report of the Commissioner of Inter nal. Revenue. There were more cigars and cigarettes sold than ever before in history. What do yon think of It? Usual Reason. "He used to be a straight enough young chap. What made him get crooked?" "Trying to make both ends meet, I believe."
