Thes rw ' matters are entitled to the very- best attention of 'the people, but they are not entitled to so much of it. Let the next cam paign be pitched further on toward the election. PRESIDENT AGAINSJ WHITES. LILY AFTER-THOUGHTS. I Since the election is over sev eral important matters are be ing considered by the press and public One of the most im portant of these is the I corrupt use of money in elections. We are convinced that this is a growing evil all over the coun try. .'The next Legislature would do the State a great ser vice if it could devise somo rea sonable means of prosecuting this great evil, which; t is said, lias gotten to be a regular fea tuie of every election in some counties. It is a sad fact that there are some white men who a re ready to sell their sover eignty for a dollar or two. The buying and selling should be prosecuted, by whatever party. Laws, however, - are j always 0eak in reaching secret crimes, and probably the best that can be done is to encourage a wholesome public sentiment that will not tolerate bribery at elections. One case of j bribery which was proven to the satis faction of the public mind was the purchase by Republicans of the' editorial, policy, of a daily newspaper two and a half years ago, just like buying a car load of meat, and it is "sustained to this dav bv the patronage of President Roosevelt has caus ed the removal of revenue col lector Bingman, of Alabama, and the appointment j of Jas. Thompson as his successor, for the reason, as stated publicly by a member of the Cabinet, that Bingham was in a measure responsible for the policy adopt ed by the Alabama Republicans of excluding the negroes who are entitled to vote from the Re publican State convention. The Secretary states that Mr. Bing- ham has made a good officer, and that the only reason for his removal is that the admiuistra tion does not approve! of this policy of excluding the negroes who are qualified to vote from Republican conventions. He has, also, appointed a negro collector of customs at .Charles ton. The same conditions prevail ed in North Carolina, and Fede ral office holders who are re sponsible for it are doubtless Stirred up over this position Can only be secured by co-operation The IndlrlduaT Part. Now that the campaign is over it may be well to call attention to the fact that, important as' good government is, much remains fo the individual to do. No govern ment however good can save ' a citizen from the punishment which follows eyil doing and no govern ment however bad can entirely rob a citizen ot the reward which meritorious conduct earns. "Under any government, however good, the citizen who is idle and slothful will lag behind the one who is diligent and attentive So business; ender any government, however good, the citizen who destroys his strength by dissipation (will fare badly as compared with the one who leads a temperate Iffe ; under any government however good the citizen who wastes his substance in riotous living will come at last to husks while the one who economizes and saves is laying the foundation of a fortune. While, under any government however bad. those who have high ideals, who exercise self-restraint and who persevere in their labors will surpass those who live from hand to mouth and sur render to appetite and passion that surpemacy which should be held by head and heart. Government may raise or lower the general level, but the position which any given person occupies with relation to his fellows depends as a general rule, more upon him self than npon any law. Then, too, reform legislation taken by the President. . - i The latest news from YVashing ton indicates that Roosevelt is very much in earnest in his opposition to the lily white" movement In the South. A special to the Char lotte Observer says that every im portant office holder in North Caro lina, appointed on recommendation of Senator Pritchard, is to be re moved before next March.
