NOV, 7 1912 PLUTOCATIC SOCIALISM Senator Reed, of Missouri, has been making an exceedingly ef fective campaign speech. He shows that while we have been fearing socialism and fighting socialism, we have really come to socialism, and that in the worst sense in which we can have it. HeTsays, with truth and force: Socialism is management of private business by the govern ment Management for the plu tocracy is plutocratic socialism; management for the workers is proletarian socialism. Plutocratic socialism differs from proletarian socialism only in this; that in theory, in the former the public manages private business for private ends, and in the latter, it manages it for public ends. In the one the profit goes to the trust owners; in the other, to the workers. The reason we are an adherent of Democracy is, above every thing else, because it stands; pledged to use its best endeavors to destroy monopoly. The rea son we supported Wilson is be cause we believe he will live up to this declaration of principle: "Until monopoly is abolished, until it is destroyed, the govern ment is not free. And until the government is free, it can not serve you or any man." £ Thejreason why we supported Judge Clark is because he said »'the trusts must be destroyed," and had a record of nerve behind him which showed he is not afraid to live up to his principles, his professions and his promises. We do not mean interference with legitimate business, even when that business reaches large proportions. We mean destruc tion of the gigantic combin ations with their interlocking directorates, which strangle com petitors and make it impossible to breath an atmosphere of in dustrial independence in America, supposed to be the home of the free. We mean that those forces of manipulated poli tics or of artificial economics sh6uld be annihilated which niake possible the coup (permit ted, too, by a supposed trust-bus ting president) by which the Morgan steel interests absorbed the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., the profit on the deal being $65,- 000,000. It is simply beyond the power of the mind to apprehend that the capitalization, of the Morgan interests is $17,775,171,- 249, and of this inconceivable pum $8,000,000,000 is water! A beginning will be made un der Wilson toward remedying plutocratic socialism, but it will take time to moderately yet courageously cure this national at MR. SIMMON'S TRIUMPH. Senator Simmons was return ed to the Senate by a handsome majority over his two opponents. We extend our congratulations. We opposed Senator Simmons, because we believed he had made several serious mistakes, but we shall hold up his hands in every effort he puts forth for the good of the country. We do not believe Mr. Sim mons will be a reactionary. We believe he had got out of touch with the people, and didn't real ize how closely they were watch ing his record. We think he will .redouble his energy, which haß always been enormous, and that he will prove one of Presi dent Wilson's right hand men. THE NEXT CABINET. The cabinets of Roosevelt and Taft have been weak i n personnel. We believe Mr. Wilson will surround him self with the strongest cabinet •ince Cleveland and Lincoln. He is said to be especially anxious to have strong men in the State, Treasury, Interior and Commerce and Labor depart ments. We presume Bryan will «t in the family and North Caro lina will probably have the honor a representative in the person flfthe Editor Joeephus Daniels who did such valiant campaign! service. He will land either the Post-Office or war .portfolios. Doubtless the war job would suit him as well as any. But strong as the cabinet may be, Wilson himself will sit at the head of the table. UNCLE ELLIS' COUSIN BILL Mr. Wm. F. McCombs, the man who discovered Wood row Wilson, and is ultimately responsible for his election to the presidency, is coming to Charlotte this fail with his friend,.Mr. Willis Dowd. We must certainly have him up in Hickory then, and no doubt he would not miss visiting his cousins, Ellis and Dave Moore McComb and Misses Amelia and Lizzie. Uncle Ellis can tell him more about his Mecklenburg and Gaston kinfolks than anv body of the McCombs name left down there, anyhow. All Hickory will welcome Mr* McCombs, and the Democrat will get up a trip up into the Blowing county for him. The Charlotte Observer says in.this connection: All North Carolina, and parti cularly Mecklenburg County, has reason to take particular pride in the campaign performances of William Frank McCombs, whom the New York Sun calls The Architect of the Democratic Renaissance." The Sun extends congratulations and admiring re gards to this 4 *man of the hour and of many hours to come." "Modest and potent Mr. Mc- Combs!" it addresses itself to him. "He not only knows how to strike when the iron is hot, but when the iron is hot he knows how to strike mighty hard." Mecklenburg is full of his kin. The blood of the signers of the Declaration courses in his veins and Charlotte proposes to have him in town when we cele brate next May 20. WEBB'S FINE WORK. The Democrat wishes to con gratulate State Chairman C. A. Webb on achieving the greatest Democratic victory ever won in North Carolina. Mr. Webb's position has been a trying one because of the bitter inside-the party fight over the senatorship but he has held himself neutral, as far we havebeenableto see, and has done splendidly in pulling out big majorities for the candi dates. . ACADEMIC BUT USEFUL Norman Hapgood, the editor of Colliers, who was put out be cause he wrote favorably of Wood row Wilson, would make a useful member of the president's official family. O, yes, he has the fault of being academic, but so were Thos. Jefferson, Wm. Pitt, Wm. E. Gladstone, Wm. L. Wilson, and Wood row himself. A FALSE TEAtiHER Cut out that Pastor Russell stuff, Bro. Mebane. He has a bolished hell, doesn't believe in the resurrection of the body of either Christ or the saints, de nies that Christ is co-equal with God and a whole lot more errors.

Doan's Kidney Fills have made their reputation by effective action. The following case is typical. Hickory residents should be con vinced. The testimony is confirmed —the proof complete. H. W. Jones, 620 Eighth Ave.. Hickory, N. C., says: "I was annoyed by my Kidneys for sometime. I fin ally procured a hpx of Doan's Kidney Pills at Moser & Lutz's Store and they did more for me than all the other re medies I had used. I was sarprised and delighted by the results. They 1 regulated my kidneys and toned up my system in a remarkably short time. One of my children has also taken; Doan'-s Kidney Pills and thinks highly of them." Thi above statement was given February 18, 1911, and on March 6, 1912 Mr. Jones added: "All I said sometime ago recommending Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good. This remedy is worthy of the highest praises." For sale by all dealers. Price 50cts. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States.
