THE SQUEAL OP A BULLY.
- Knowing the character of the man,
and realizing how desperate he is be
cause he cannot whip the people of
Wake county into line to vote as he
would dictate, we are not surprised at
Josenhus Daniels
IUQ ttVWva
makes upon the ministers and citizens
who were not ashamed to sign a card
for one who had lived among them and
who had earned their respect. The
saintly hypocrite must have been
ashamed of his own screed, for he
would not dignify it by giving it a place
on his editorial page, though it had
the ear-marks of the cowardly boss
who is losing his grip at his home and
who will continue to lose it by reason
of the unjust and outrageous charges
made against Buch men as Dr. Mar
shall, Dr. PIttenger, Dr. Moment, Dr.
Ivey, Mayor Johnson. Mr. Alf Thomp
son, Mr. Joseph G. Drown, Dr. Eveiitt,
Mr, James A. Briggs and others. The
gentlemen who signed that card are not
politicians; they are temperance men
and their friends will resent most bit
terly the accusation that they were not
of sound mind and that they were play
things and tools in the hands of the
bar-room element of Raleigh. He
might write until his eyes are blind,
but he can never convince one man in
this county or state that those gentle
men had "lined up" with the saloons.
It was a base slander and a slander
which could emanate from none save
the boss who is so bitterly despised.
At every opportunity we shall ham
mer home the fact that the animosity
of Josephus Daniels toward John C.
Drewry is due to the lalter's connection
with a rival newspaper. He overlooks
everything else but that. The Evening
Times would have lived peacefully with
him had ho not sought months ago to
injure it by slander. Today he seeks to
Blander the ministers and .the temper
ance men by claiming that they are the
puppets of the saloon.
But the thing will react. It has al
ready done that. The bully is without
courage, and the tyrant siiucals when
his grip is weak. Tho.-.'vs .and Ob
server '' 'has done much to merit the
hatred of honest people, but in its whole
career we doubt if it ever stooped so
low before that it would fling mud at
the Man of God.
Yellow Journals Hereabout.
Rollo Ogden, editor of the New York
Evening Post, writes on "Some Aspects
of Journalism" in the Atlantic Monthly
for July, and he completely answers
the statement of many newspapers
that they are sensational and yellow
and indecent because the public de
mands that sort of thing.' He says it
is an insult to the public that such
charges should be made, for the reason
that the public has power sufficient to
cast out the offending member. The
Evening Post is not a yellow journal.
If is as different from that class as
night is from day, and while it is often
wrong it is clean. Mr, Ogden is a vet
eran In the service. lKcwise ne is
'scholar, and what he writes naturally
Commands attention. Among other
things he says:
-' "I would urge, no exculpation for the
editor who exploits crime, scatters filth
and infects the community with moral
poison. The original responsibility Is
his, and it is a fearful one. But it is
Miot solely his. The basest and most
demoralizing Journal that lives, lives by
public approval or tolerance. Its read
ers and advertisers have its life In their
hands, At a word from them it would
either reform or die. They have the
power of 'recall' over it, as it is by
some proposed to grant the people a
power of recall over bad representa
tives in legislature or. congress. The
very dependence of the press upon
support gives its patrons the power of
life and death over It. Advertisers are
known to go to a newspaper offieo to
seek favors, sometimes improper, often
Innocent. Why . should they and mere
readers, too, not exercise their Implied
right to protest against vulgarity, the
exaggeration of the trivial, hysteria,
indecency. Immorality, In the newspa
per which they aqe asked to buy or to
patronize? To a journalist of the offen
sive class they could say: 'You excuse
yourself by alleging that you simply
Bive what the public demands; but we
sa"y that your very assertion is an in
sult to us and an outrage upon the pub
lic. You say that . nobody protests
against your course; well, we are here
to protest. You point to your sales;
we tell you that, unless you mend your
columns, we will buy no more." .There
Iks here, I am persuaded, a vast un
used power for the toning up of our
journalism. At any nte the reform of
a free press in a free people can be
brought about only by some such re
action of the medium upon the instru
ment. Legislation direct would be
powerless."
The south as a rule is free of the
yellows, but they are sometimes found
at our door so vile and indecent that
they are unfit for a woman to read.
And yet they are edited by men who
profess to be moral, who shout loud and
lustily of their purity, who boast of
their religion.
Henry Scott, the mutineer, who was
hanged yesterday at Wilmington, imi''e
a dying confession in which he claims
that he alone was guilty of the brutal
murder aboard the schooner Harry
Berwind last October. Two other ne
groes, Adams and Sawyer, are under
sentence to die August 17. and it is
said that an effort will be made to
have President Roosevelt pardon them.
The president will simply have to put
a value on the words of Scott. It is
hard to believe that a man would face
his Maker with a lie on his lips.
Our Washington correspondent says
today that President . Roosevelt is
thinking seriously of advocating the
revision of the tariff, and while it may
not be possible to fathom the mind of
the president, it is likely that he will
shout that way when he sees the
masses will stand with Bryan on that
sort of a platform. But it will not be
revised if the republicans are confi
dent of victory two years hence with
out it.
An expert in the department of agri
culture has figured it out that if all
the people of the world were civilized
to the clothes-wearing point it would
require 42,000.000 bales of cotton of 500
pounds each to hide their nakedness.
He seems to think that the south can
not produce the necessary amount be
cause of the labor shortage and other
things. Still, he may "find comfort in
the thought that the south will have
its labor betoit tne whole world is
civilized.
Mr. Tom Taggart makes a most
plausible statement concerning his con
nection with a gambling resort in In
diana. He claims that he was raided
by Mr. Hearst and the latter's corre
spondents. In a word, he says he is
a good, moral man; but he is a mighty
poor chairman for the democratic
party. He proved that two years ago.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture is a great optimist. Not
long ago he predicted that there' would
be no more crop disasters and now he
declares that the American meat in
dustry is in its infancy. . From all ac
counts many of us thought it was
dead.
These are hard days for the trust
magnates and robbers. The ice men,
the oil men, the fertilizer men, the
tobacco men and a host of others are
on the anxious bench, waiting for the
lightning to strike or for the storm
to blow over. Let us hop that the
lightning will strike.
Mr. Lumpkin, who entered the race
for the senate against Mr. Tillman in
South Carolina, has withdrawn as sud
denly as he went in. Appreciating the
national holiday he went up like the
rocket and came down like the stick.
While the News and Observer Is tell
ing its readers what The Evening
Times thinks of some men, it ought by
all means to tell them what The Even
ing Times thinks of the News and Ob
server and its editor.
North Carolina did not think much
of Judge Parker's Charlotte speech that
a southern man be nominated by the
democrats. The convention, however,
met the judge half way by putting
Mr. Aycock on the ticket.
Managers of the trans-Atlantic
steamship lines are racing these days
for speed records, and while they ad
mit that there Is more or less risk
about it, there Is no danger that a
ship will, jump the track.
The highest compliment the editor
of this newspaper ever received is the
suggestion from the News and Ob
server that he be fired.
The German kaiser Is being Ameri
canized. He became a grandfather -on
July 4.
Merits OirtyCwtenpfc !
Mr. Josephus Daniels, without speci
fying a single fact in support of his
statement, attacks in his paper Willis
G. Briggs and seeks to discredit his
reports of the discussions by the can
didates In this county. Mr. Briggs
needs no defence before the good peo
ple of this city. There is not, we be
lieve, a reputable man in Raleigh who
will not give Mr. Briggs the credit for
being truthful and accurate in his
newspaper work. This is the enviable
reputation he has built up in his eight
years, newspaper work in North Caro
lina. His character and standing be
fore the people of this city is too firmly
established for it to lie within the
power of Mr. Daniels to discredit him
and make the people here believe that
ho would be untruthful. On the other
hand, there are not half a dozen dis
interested men in Raleigh who today
would be willing to make affidavit
that the paper published by Mr. Dan
iels does not color its local columns
and pervert the news to suit the de
signs of the editor.
The city editor of The Times is per
fectly willing to stand before his home
folk, who have known him all his
life and know that he does not lie, and
face with the contempt' every honest
man must feel, the vituperations of
one who maliciously misrepresented
the Gnldsboro speech of the president
of a Methodist college, who hounded
and attacked for Weeks the pastor of
a Baptist church in this city, who has
been denounced by the editor of The
Biblical Recorder for "hectoring the
religious denominations," who has been
characterized as unfair and more than
unfair by the editor of The Christian
Advocate, and who today is covertly
seeking to belie some of the most
saintly and beloved pastors of Chris
tian churches inthis city and have the
public believe that these godly men
have aligned themselves with the l'w
and the vicious.

County,
Raleigh, N. C, June 21, 1906.
We hereby announce our candidacy
for re-election to the position of County
Commissioners of Wake county, subject
to the action of the Democratic Pri
mary. We have served you to the best
of our ability during our term of office.
We have tried to be economical in the
administration of your affairs without
being penurious. Every member of this
board is a business man, and the same
time spent in their business would have
been more remunerative to them than
their service as Commissioners. We
had Intended at the close of this term
to retire from office and not solicit your
support for re-election, but many of
you have advised ti3 that we could not
afford to do so; that our record was one
that the county was proud of, and that
we would b- doing ourselves and the
county an injustice not to consent to
serve another term. We have yielded
to their demand, and If you see fit to
nominate and elect us," we promise a
faithful, economical, business adminis
tration, one that the county will not be
ashamed of.

Five years ago' ' I was almost a
wreck, without money and without

to go to Greensboro and take the
Keeley Treatment, and after a course
of four weeks I was entirely cured
of this . terrible habit, and I firmly
believe it is a permanent euro. Since
my graduation I have held a nice
position all the time, and have been
a very happy man, to say nothing cf
the happiness or my family. 1 will

addicted to strong drink to take this
treatment. R. L. HAPPEN.
