THE Republicans of this Stat may be able to "stand pat bai the indications are that a greai • many of them won't stant Adams. . WHILE there might possibly b some reason for making a docto: coroner, there is nothing in the study of physic to fit one fo probate judge. \ IF the Republican voters o\ j North Carolina expect ever t make anything out of their par tyjthey will have to rescue i' from its present management. . .J THE man who becomes a can didate for office shortly aftei changing his politics, may say - that he is actuated by PRINCIPLE but most people will say that he was actuated by INTEREST. No man should be elected to a * public office who will form it out. • I The voters should insure them selves in advance that their can didates, if elected, will give its duties their personal attention. UNDER Democratic rule Ca tawba has equalled almost any couhty in the State in education al progress. The record on that issue alone is enough to insure Democratic endorsement at the 7 polls. R THE Democratic Party has giv en Catawba county a splendid county government which will I be continued by the present Democratic nominees as soon as .they shall have been inducted jjnto office. THE labor unions are trying to defeat tne speaker of the House of Representatives but as the I Democrats have foolishly failed Ito comply with the law in call ling a primary for their district, the indications are that this Can non will not be fired. I if the President is in ; earnest about destroying the !\ power of monopoly, he lacks a J sufficient number of Republican - (Congressmen to enable him to J carry out his reforms. He is I like a one-legged man trying to F dance a break-down. His will is |good but he hasn't enough MEM BERS. FE REPUBLICAN papers and stump Speakers in North Carolina say |£ great deal about their "pride .M belonging to the Republican I*arty." If what prominent Re publicans say of the State organ ization is true it reminds us of what the Filipino's description 'of the Spaniard— "full of honor without honesty, full of religion, without morality and full of - pride C without anything to be proud of." Mr. Roosevelt is fa success of bringing indictments. The trou ble is that his indictments never imount to anything. He indict -3d the Northern Securities Com xany; and the Northern Securi ng Company is doing business >till under name. He indicted the Beef T Trust, and the Beef Trust is still with us. He nvestigated the Standard Oil Company, and the Standard Oil Company goes on its way rejoic ng, How long would it take ac fto the Roosevelt method : up the trusts? The Case Against North Caro- ] lina Republicanism. . . The Republican Party of North Carolina is again on trial befort ( tie people of this State. Prac tically admitting the sins of the past, its present contend that it 1 has been purged from its formei unrighteousness, has repudiated the negro and is now worthy tc be entrusted with the govern | ment of North Carolina. Wt : may remark in passing that theii redemption from their allianct 1 with the negro was brought b\ the Democratic Party and agains the vigorous opposition of th Republicans themselves. True, many of them voted foi ( the Amendment but as an organ 1 ization, their party went on rec -1 ord against it it their plat-forn r on the stump and at the ballot box. If the Republican Party could ( have had its way, North Carolin? : would still be cursed with negrt t suffrage, and the negro woulc have had an equal voice wit) the white man in governing tht State. But giving them tht j same credit for breaking away ( from their alliance with the ne .. groes, that they would have re , served if the separation had beer made of their own accord insteat of being forced upon them, ana taking the evidence of their own leaders, is the Republican Party 1 as at present controlled fit to * govern the State? Let us takt E the evidence of Mr. Holton, Dis e trict Attorney at present and foi lour years Chairman of the Re publican Executive Committee. a What says Mr. Holton? That ; the only Republican Congress- man from North Carolina is a i criminal, that the revenue de- 1 partment is so corrupt that hr i has prosecuted and convicted a 1 number of officials and the ne- s j cessity for convicting the rest ] was made tko ground for Hoi- ] t ton's reappointment. 1 What says Mr. Blackburn, s 1 former assistant District Attor- ney, Congressional nominee of : the Republicans three times and : . successful twice? That Holton i 1 is corrupt and inefficient; that i I he engaged in a conspiracy with s - Ex-chairman Rollins and Ex- i : Senator Butler to charge Black- I burn with crime and ruin him; that Judge J. C. Pritchard while i Senator is admitted to have practiced before the government 1 , department's at Washington/- a ; thing of which the officials could I not have .been Jgnorant. White i Pritchard was guilty of the same offence with which Blackburn _ was | charged and for which Burton of Kansas was convicted, Pritchard not only escaped pros , ecution but was given 'a judge , ship next to that Justice of tht , United States' Supreme court. l . That the mana , gers headed ,by Rollins turner . traitor to the party and secretlj . tried to defeat him for Congress, s Now let us hear from Mr. Lin . ney, who represented his dis trict in Congress for three terms. What has he to say? That th' , management of the Republicar - organization is so corrupt tha' ! the Republican State Conventioi i ought-to be held in the federal penitentiary. We will now introduce Judgt ' W. P. Bynum, one of the ablest i and most independent Republi- 1 cans in the State. What is his 1 testimony concerning the part\ ■ to which he belongs? That the rank and file are worthy of all i praise but that the Rollins-But- „ ler organization is a gang of cut throats and political pirates wh( i care nothing for the party'sgooc c so long as they can control th i federal offices. a Surely the Republican Presi ( dent will have a good word ti d say for the "organization." Lei i us have Mr.Rcosevelt't evidence. 4 Mr. Roosevelt says that the Re « publican leaders great and smal c have abused and fly-blown eacl p other and have engaged in dis graceful rows over federal of- t fices until he is disgusted and c wishes that there was not anoth- a er appointment to be made in f * . North Carolina. Well, as a last resort, let us call up Mr. Taft, Secretary of Wari Mr. Taft is a presidential candidate and desiring votes, we may expect him to present the picture in the best light. Mr. Taft is of the opinion that while they continue their disreputable brawls there is no future for the Republican managers and de poses that it would be better for the Republican Party if the Dem erats controlled every federal office in the State. Now you have the evidence not of the Democrats but of Re_ publicans, from the President of the United States to private citi zens. Who has the nerve in tho face of such utterances from such sources to say that the Re publican Party under its present management is capable of ruling the State? The Reformed Reunion. The reunion of the Classis of the Reformed church in North Carolina was held at Claremont College last Thursday, beginning at 11' a. m. About 250 people were present, and, while not as many of the pastors of the dif ferent Reformed churches were in attendance as had been hoped, there were a number of reprt sentative men. The train from Newton was, of course, an hour and a half late, so that Prof. | Losh, who was in charge of the music, could not get in for the morning exercises, Some famil iar hymns were sung, Dr. Mur phy welcomed the Association; and assured them that they Were cordially invited to consider themselves at home, together with all other visitors. Dr. Bar ringer, of Mt. Pleasant, returned the thanks of the assembly. The address of the day was by Dr. Lyerly, superintendent of the new orphanage to be opened by the Classis in October. The in stitution is to be called Nazareth Orphan's Home, and is located at Crescent, Rowan county. In setting forth the need of such an institution, and what it would mean to the church, Dr. Lyerly spoke of Thomasville Orphanage and Barium Orphan's Home,and what they had been worth to the churches under whose care they are. He stated the needs of the Home, what its requirements would be, etc. Then came an intermission for dinner, which was served under the beautiful trees to the rear of the college. And such a dinner as it was! Such good boiled ham, fried chicken, stuffed eggs, pic kles, pies, custards, above all, so many cakes, and such good ones! If the reputation of the.,. Hickory women as good house-keepers had not been made already, that dinner would have made it. The writer desires personally to re turn thanks for a large share ol the good cheer. After dinner, the crowd ad journed to the chapel, and a re jrganization of the Association I'or.the coming year .was held, Dr. Barrier being elecied Presi lent, Mr. George McCorkle, o, Newton, Vice-President, anc rlev. W. W. Rowe, Sec. ano t'reas. Then followed a discus sion as to time and place of nex. meeting, which was left finally to the discretion of the commit tee. Prof. Losh and others having arrived, some delightful music • was given a highly appreciative audience. Profs. Losh and Weav er singing as a.duo, "Oh, how 1 Love Thy Law," a quartette, . composed of Rev. C. E. Wehler, " Mr. McCorkle, and Profs. Losh and Weaver, giving "More than Conquerors," and Prof. Losh : also sang a solo.- In conclusion, Dr. J. H. Shuford sang "Abide With Me." This loveli est of hymns was rendered tht ! more perfect by the singer's , power and pathos. The day was a perfect one, a treat to body and spirit. The eampus is an ideal spot for such I an occasion; the crowd was as J friendly and cordial as it posstr bly could be, and even the rain that fell in the afternoon could not dim our memories of such a pleasure. Everyone was delighted to wel come Dr. and Mrs. Read home again. Both are looking greatly the better for their summer's rest, though both have done what would be hard work for most of people. Her stay at Richmond and the University of Virginia was a charming one for Mrs. Read, and she found it hard to leave the intercourse with great j minds and the many intellectual pleasures she found there.
