WHY DOESN'T SIMMONS SUE
HIM?
We do not believe Senator Sim
mons is a man who could fr
bribed. We hold some thing*
against him but not that, al
though we do believe he is a man
who would be captivated and tre
mendously though perhaps un
consciously influenced by a mas
ter mind like Bailey's. (He wa c
swept off his feet by a maudlin
sentiment of pity for Lorimer,
who had walked, either near
sighted or blind folded, into tht
Senate through the stench of a
veritable Valley of Hinnom of
debauchery of legislators.) We
cannot understand why Senator
Simmons would sue a lapsing
weekly newspaper for libel an
not bring suit against the man
who charges that the lumber
trust is financing the Senator's
campaign.
WASN'T IT THE BLOW THAT
KILLED FATHER?
The Statesville Landmark says
"It will be recalled that wher.
a Democratic House passed f
tariff bill during the last Cleve
land administration, the biil was
so protectionized in the Senate
by men like the late Senator
Gorman, of Maryland, Senatci
Smith, of New Jersey, anc.
others, that Old Man Clevelanc
refused to sign it. He allower
it to become a law without hi:
signature but he wrote a lette
to Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi,
in which he referred to th
measure as 'party perfidy am
party dishonor' and said 4 th«
deadly blight of treason har
crept into the councils of the
brave and destroyed them in their
hour ot might."
Don't you believe that cost th
Democratic-party a long lease o:
power, and that no chances
ought to be taken on returning
un-bowlegged Senators who have
ever wabbled a single wabble?
SHAMELESS EXTRAVAGANCE.
Editor Beasley in the Monroe
Journal, is making a strong pro
test for economy in government
expenditures. It makes a tru
assertion when it says this can
not be done without increasing
the burdens of the people. It
recalls that "the princely andtru*
J. P. Caldwell'' used to opposi
the idea that getting something
from the government was just
so much in "on the ground that
it was a vitiating and demoraliz
ing influence on the character o*
the people." The Journal justly
makes the point that "all that is
wasted is a direct waste of the
bone and sinew of the men~~who
labor." There is shameless and
sinful extravagance in Congress,
and there is far too great a
tendency to estimate the value
of a man in public life by what
he gets in appropriations.
The last Congress was far too
spendthrift with the people's
money, when, with the check of
a Democratic House which was
being urged by Underwood and
other leaders to be economical, it
should have checked the uni
versal desire to pack the pork
barrel, The way Congress ap
propriates money is often little
I*BB than thievery.
A SELF-DISFRANCHISED OFFICE
SEEKER.
Mr. Smyre, who is running or
the Republican ticket for sheriff,
is a very clever gentleman, but
we were told the other day ii
Newton that he had not availed
■limself of the high privilege ol
voting for 16 years. The chanct
to go to the polls on electior
day and put a white slip in i
jox with a slit in it was bough
"rom tyrants, ecclesiastical an
;ivil, at the price of blocc
joured oat freely through cen
;uries. Yet after despising thi:
>irthright of freedom for 16
/ears, the Republican candidal
or sheriff in Catawba comes be
fore his fellow citizens and say
:n effect:
"Vote me into a job, please. '
And Mr. Smyre hasn't even of
ered the excuse that he had
>een waiting, lo these man>
;ears, for the Bull Moose to bel
ow.
Against a self-disfranchised
nan, the Democrats offer for a
;econd term Mr. Lee Hewitt,
vho has made gofcd—as good a>
my sheriff Catawba ever had,
md it has had lots of good ones
fn fidelity to every duty and ir
the splendid system in his offic*
md books,' Sheriff Hewitt de
serves especial commendation
We do not believe Catawba vo
ters will hesitate as between
these two.
fHE HONOR SYSTEM FOR HAZ-
ING.
This is the pitifullest sentence
are ever read:
"I intrusted to the care of the
University my beloved boy; he
was returned to me a mangled
:orpse."
The words were spoken by the
? ather of young Rand, murdered
it the University by four sopho
mores, one of whom by the way
s said to be a candidate for the
ministry.
It is not entirely fair to say
hat any college faculty cannot
>tamp out hazing. We were
nildly hazed at Davidson. We
nissed the most of it as- we en
tered fresh half advanced after
Christmas. The bulk of our
ilass was severely hazed, and
two men had been suspended for
it before wejr matriculated. But
it was still gettingr in some
sneaking cowardly work although
r ,he faculty was doing its best to
stamp it out. A false system of
college honor prevailed (which
we admit we fell in with at the
time) that it was dishonorable tc
report a college man even for
the meanest and most lawless
icts. It still generally prevails
Later on our own class, whicl
included such men as President
'V. «L Martin, Rev. C. G. Var
lell, Dr. Salomon R. McKee am
Rev-J. A Harris, in this State,
rook the lead in stamping out
this barbarism, and with eoor
results. It has showed its hear
)ccasionally since but Davidsor
las been comparatively fre»
from. The honor system in th?
hands of the boys themselves i
the ideal way to abolish it. It i
almost as hard to free a campu:
)f it, as a country of murder anc
robbery.
HASN'T THE RIGHT RING.
Senator Simmons did not hesi
tate to say in his speech in New
ton that North Carolina had no'
?ot her share in the way of ap
propriations, and we presume h
also meant in tariff balance?
against New England greediness.
It is just such a statement
that which makes us fear Sena
tor Simmons. It was that idea
that swung Ben Tillman off th(
track as a bulldog champion for
tariff reduction. That meant
that he will fight for lowering
duties in the interest of the
whole people as long as he can,
but when he finds he can't re
sist the enormous pressure to
keep duties up, he will let up,
and go in to grab for ourselves
what he can. There can never
b$ any true tariff reform that
way. That is the ta'k of a log
roller, not the argument of
a statesman.
GLADIATORS.
Two high toned gentlemen
will meet on the stump when
Yates Webb and Charlie McKes
son make the race for Congress
in this district. There will be
some splendid oratory, some keen
thrusts. History repeats itself
and we will have another "gen
tle passage of arms at Ashby;"
THE MEANEST AND STINKING
EST."
Said Senator Simmons at New
Ljon: "
"The meanest, stinkingesl
rust in America is J. P. Mor
Morgan's steel trust."
We think the Senator in trying
;o straighten up has leaned bacl
;oo far. We v have alway
hought that Carnegie and Pier
>oint Morgan* were~ men o
.igher ideals and cleaner mei
;han those who have heade
ome other trusts, and, if th
Senator's language must be ap
)lied, that the Standard Oil, th
obacco, the beef, and trie woo
:rusts were meaner and stink
nger than the steel trust.
LAFOLLETTE'S TACTICS.
Senator La Follette in hh
magazine is maintaining hi?
position in the Republican party
vhile at the same time he makes
.10 secret of his desire to see tht
lational Democratic ticket elect
ad. He indicates his belief that
ne and his group of Republicar
progressives can be very usefu ;
to Mr. Wilson, if the latter is
elected, and this is true. Tht
aght of Big Business this year is
to hold the Senate. The country
:an never pay its debt to the
ittle band of Progressives wh
stood with Democrats in the last
Congress in fhssing the tarifi
oiils, which were sent to Tali
for his fatal vetoes.
THE FRANKING EVIL.
The seed graft frank
ing privilege are two evils that
will need the attention of Wilson
when he gets into power. Con
gressman Rodenburg, of Illinois,
has lately franked 250,000 copies
of an attack on the pure food
laws to doctors and • others
throughout the country and not
in his own constituency. This
adds $5,000 to the postal deficit.

A Noble Life.
The noble life 13 the life of large
and spacious aims, the life which ia.
sweet and quick within, by the living
gsasp of great things upon the soul.
It is the atmosphere which a life
makes around it, a life which lives
habitually in the upper air, which
dwells serenely in the company of
great and beautiful things.—J. Vickery.
How To Be Plump
Most people constantly suffer from
oss of appetite, especially for break
ast, an unpleasant taste in the mouth,
low spirits; irritability, with a heavy,
dull headache, biliousness, sick head
ache, blotches on the skin, lack of en
ergy and a feeling of weariness, all of
which are due to constipation. Con
stipation is the forerunner of indiges
tion, sluggish liver and nervousness,
and it is of the utmost importance that
the bowels should be gently regulated
by a reliable aperient. Dr. King's
Blood and Livei Pills meet this want,

There is comfort in the knowledge so

heumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
i ver, bladder and every part of the urinary
as sage. Corrects inability to hold water
nd scalding pain in passing it, or bad
ffects following use of liquor, wine or
jeer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne

brought to France by showmen to per

their performances having lost their
