And the peo ple will come back as they did in 1898 and again effectively bury him for a long term of years. BUTLERISM. ' Some of the most interesting read ing matter of the past few weeks has been printed in the editorial columns of the Greensboro News. And it is matter that is especially timely now that the. republican state convention has been held. The News ought to have had it copyrighted, but it did not do so and so we are going to take the liberty of running some of it from time to time without the for mality of asking permission to do so, and as a starter we propose to give the following pre-convention esti mate held by The News of Mr. Marlon Butler, who pulls the strings for John Motley Morehead's dances. . We quote: ' "The atmosphere is at last clari fied. No longer is there effort to put Mr. Butler behind the curtain. With both feet he Is in the battle bearing afore and aloft the colors of his fac tion. , Development have reached that point when no one is reckless enough to deny that Butler is the ' master hand in his camp. This, then, brings us face to face with our ob- - jection to Mr. Morehead for state chairman. "Plainly, logically and unavoid ably the election , of Mr. Morehead .means that the paramount issue 'which will ring from every platform, newspaper and stump in North Caro lina tram 'August 10 to November 8, 1910, will be Butlerism, wttn all that the term expresses and Implies. If there .is ' a republican reader who doubts, let him file and preserve this prediction for future reference. "Whn Malta Mr. Rntlnr n 'man nf means?" Whence comes the boodle for the expensive campaign he has been waging , so 'assiduously' since .January- last "Are those irrepres sible 'bond holders' behind him? Are they expecting legislation favorable ' to their contention in .the event Mr Butler's astute campaign results in a republican legislature? Or can it be ' that the whiskey trust la backing Mr Butler In the hone of a "'booze' plank in the Diatfofm next Wednesday? "But you say there is nothing In .the Issue or cry of Batlerlsm. mo thoughtful student of affairs political in North Carolina' will make such a contention aertously. We are not dis cussing tne justice or tne injuauce nf annh'iit iRann." .f -lTi . .'V,..'.1 . . t - ftitL.

V " JT . 7 , ' "When Marion Butler was a demo cratic 'state senator- from Sampson county, a brilliant, dashing young fellow, he at once attracted atten tion.' A, group of democrats were one day dismissing him, having read what the newspapers were saying of him, and there was expression Of almost unanimous opinion" that he was the most promising of all th younger democrats in the state. But one man present also a democrat who had been silent,, spoke up; and quoting from memory, after the lapse of some 20 years, this is about the language he used: ...' ' :-: .: y " 'I can't agree with you gentle men" in regard to Marion Butler. It is true that he is bright and daring and shrewd. I was in college with him, and I know him. He is as trai torous as he is bright, as treacherous as he is daring, and as contemptibly mean as he is shrewd. A man who is disloyal to a friend will be a trai tor to his party or to a puDIlc trust. Just watch him. It will not be many years before he will show his true character, and those who are prais ing him now will be cussing him.' "Prophetic words, or words spoken from the knowledge gained from Inti mate relationship and experience, no matter which. Refresh your memory as to the equel. "About two years later, when the democratic party nominated an alli ance man, Ellas Carr (in 1892) for governor, Butler wrote an eanoriai In his paper, The Caucasian, then published at Clinton, urging the alli ance people to stand by the demo cratic nominee and not join the third or people's party, then in process of formation, urging such course on the ground that they could not hope to succeed in the third party move ment except 'through the sufferance of the republican party, and we would bo at the mercy of that party both now and hereafter.' ' "Listen! Two weeks after the date of the paper containing that appeal written, by Marion BuUer, the same Marion Butler was chairman of the populist convention in Kaieigu that nominated Pat Exum for governor against the farmer candidate, Elias Carr. In your mind you can trace the events of the succeeding years and the part played by Butler in those events. After a few years his political star went down, and be left the .stated takings up his abode in Washington City, from, which place he has used his foxy and .traitorous ingenuity . to knife his former asso ciates and allies back here tn North Carolina, returning every convention year to throw into the ranks of the republican party all the bitterness and discord it was possible for him to discharge. 1 . And this year he ftas bobbed up again. "Where is he now? and what Is he doing?" "Down at Morehead City, in the best apartments in the mammoth At lantic hotel, where tne cool ocean breezes give him comfort and immun ity from the hot summer sun, with a corps of stenographers, daily bom barding the republicans of the state with advice, and sticking his long, keen-bladed knife in the direction of the vitals of , the men who have re mained true to themselves, their par ty, and their home state.' How do you like it? "Think of it, gentlemen of the fields, the mill, the shop and the bus iness office.' A gumshoe politician from away from home has 'come back' and in ease and luxury sits com placently stroking his pointed beard, and with cool breezes and cool drinks galore In a far-famed summer resort, is promulgating plans and schemes to dupe you you, who in the dust and din and smoke and toil of earning your daily bread, have not the time to study the dark and dev ious ways of the scheming politician and to . distinguish between a real patriot and servant of the party and an adventurer and a traitor. ' "Take time to consider, and to Ver ify the absolute truth of the fore going, and then say If you are willing for Butler, or the Butler type of man to become your dictator, and to sub mit the welfare of your party to trai torous hands." ; .:, " And now the Greensboro News is engaged in the pleasant process of eating its words and for the next two months will do all in its power to place this adventurer at the head of affairs, so far as an election this year will carry him there in North Caro lina. The man of "dark and devious ways", whom all North Carolina re gards as a traitor,' has captured the republican party just when it had be gun to make its loudest claims as a party of decency and honor, ; And John Motley Morehead, a white man, who has heretofore enjoyed the confi dence and respect of white .men of all political parties. Is linked arm In arm with this "gumshoe politician". ' The Greensboro News was right when it made its protest, against : Butlerism But it is willing to submit to the dic tation, of "traitorous handstand falls in line and eaty crow with relish. THE NEW LIGHT CONTRACT, ; "When the question of a new light--! ing contract was- first brought be fore the Board of Aldermen for con sideration, we said that it was purely a business question , and should be considered in the light of a business proposition. , We believe that it has had the business attention from; the board that it should have bad and we believe that the board knew what it was doing in passing the ntracfas it was passed yesterday. We attend ed the meeting of the board, heard the discussion of the subject from all sides and we believe that the city ha$ received a. fair,' square deal, and we also believe that the lighting com pany has received a good .contract. The new eight year contract for a better light should be satisfactory to everybody and when the contract for gas lights now on Fayetteville street expires that will effect a saying of 700 per year, which will almost meet the increase for the betteu lights. Raleigh will now have one of the finest and most modern lighting systems in the country and htv; streets will shine by night as well as by day. ' In this connection we wish to ex press our appreciation at the ordi nance passed by the board requiring all sidewalks in the fire limit to have the same kind of pavement grano lithic. The sidewalk committee is the one committee in Raleigh ' that can show what it is doing every day. The people are going to look 'To this committee now for some relief from the congested sidewalks and the var ious pavements that are used on every sidewalk in the city. That was another good piece of work done by the board and we shall look to the committee for results. IiOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. The local newspaper Is the one force in a community that Is always looking on the bright side of every thing. When the merchant Is blue and ready to quit he finds courage id the day's paper and goes forward, hoping for the morrow. When peo ple are In sorrow and trouble they always come to the newspaper for help. When there Is something to be done or a great work to be accom plished the people turn first to the local paper for help. One of the best things we have seen along this line comes from the Orlando Reporter Star and is as follows: "Nothing is so stimulating as the practical optimism T which radiates from a 'local paper' that picks out the bright side of current events and boosts its own community with a pen that forgets trifles in the enthusiasm of its town's development. "The 'local paper' is the thermome ter of civic spirit, the barometer of its moral atmosphere and of its sea sons of progress and depression. "It is used impartially by the peo- pie as social whetstone, mirror, tonic, alarm clock, megaphone and encyclopedia.,-; ) ''It is at once prophet, doctor, mes senger boy, pack horse, scape-goat and watch dog of the community," Press Comment. Co-operation Essential. Col. P. A. Olds, secretary of the Raleigh chamber of commerce made a tour of inspection In that city the other afternoon to ascertain as far as possible the habits of the popula tion, and the report of the tour as recorded in The Times makes very Interesting reading, not only for Raleigh folks but for the people of every city and town in North Caro lina-... Colonel Olds busied himself principally with facts, but from - his facts are easily deduclble certain gen era principles whose application is by no means confined in Raleigh. The most Impressive thought sug gested by the article In The Times Is that the sanitary conditions of Ral eigh, and all other commmunttles, de pends to a very large" degree upon the heartiness with which individ uals co-operate wth the health author ities. Aiaermen may enact uruumuwc after ordinance; regulating the -.dispo-sltion of refuse and trash and prescribe ing rules with regard to the condition of premises, but without an active in terest on the part of the property own ers the result will be very small. The Income of no city In these parts Is suf ficiently .plethoric to enable' It to em ploy a large enough sanitary force ab solutely to Insure the carrying out of such ordinances on every street and in everv alley withtn the corporate limus, and consequently sources or mrecuon mav thrive for many a murderous aay unless the individual cltlsena are alive to their duty in the matter- Public health Is. a matter, of pub lic concern and it has come to be re garded as no infraction, of, personal lib erties to Insist that eacn citisen oo nw Just part In keeping sanitary comu tlnna un to the highest possible stand ard. . That iuch " remains yet- to be accomplished in the way of public- edu cation alon these line, is evidenced by two Raleigh property -pwnera whom Colonel Olds encountered. One of these rejoiced in the great number of fliea to be found in-and aroundbis residence lfi the firm belief that they were heaven-sent scavengers and necessary to the public well-being; the other.de cllned to discontinue the use of t well Infected with typhoid bacilli, ' because n was-. Dim cenviciiun viioi. .m. theory of typhoid or iany vOther dis ease was pimply th imaginary dream of foolish scientists. The respectability and sincerity of the gentlemen holding these t opinions does , not operate ' to, lessen the damage they are likely to inflict upon the community. v. Sanitary. 'conditions and the general health situation In Charlotte, it is pretty w?H agreed, leave no little to be desired. 'Those who have the will td be patriotic in this direction need by no means watt for the health authorities, to call upon their services, There Is scarcely a man or woman in town who cannot at some tome or other, help , the good, cause along by seeing that dangerous refuse or un sightly trash be placed where it can do no harm instead of being deposited Just where chance assigns. If a suf ficient number of Charlotte peop e would form a regular habit of this sort of combined observation and ac tion, it is a question whether -the good accomplished would not outweigh that which is being done by the most ex pensive city health department in the United : States, Charlotte Observer. Cummins For President in 1012. A meteor shot athwart the Iowa skies and struck the earth with a noise like thunder. A search failed to reveal the spot where it fell. The fiery visitor from space was all sound and vanished into thin air. But the shepherds of the Insurgent flock who saw the por tent say It fulfilled Its mission. It had foretold the coming of Cummins presidential boom, the firstborn of the Insurgents. Now, if we sympathise with their reading of the stars and Indulge the fanciful belief that the Iowa meteor typifies the stork in pol itics, may we not make bold to ask what the Incontinent snuffing out of the luminous omen signifies? . Dismissing the meteor for what it Is worth as the divining rod of the Cummins boom, the less Intangible side of the new development of the cam paign merits attention. It It Is to be accepted as a reply to Ohio's Indorse ment of President Taft for a second term. It means that Insurgency elects to have the republican party put on record , as between standpat and pro gressive presidential aspirants at the polls this fall. Seeing that if they should fail to hold the balance of power in the next congress they would become a negligible quantity In legis lation, the insurgents seem to have re solved to retatn their prestige by cre ating an issue which would give them a new lease of life. It is a desperate game they are playing, but the weak ness of their tactlca)' position seemed to require It. The drawing of the factional lines which wilt follow upon the Cummins announcement destroys any. chance they may have had to hold their own in November, for without the support of the regulars, which they now forfeit, their congressional nom inees have no chance In elose districts, If, Indeed, anywhere. The scant Indorsement of the Taft administration In thei.Iowa. platfofrm forces the belief- .that, the Cummins boom' had been practically determined upon before the state convention was held. That the president was given any sort of an indorsement seems to have been owing to a desire to save the face of insurgents In other states who are pledged to support the admin istration. Washington Post. Something Worse Than Cigarettrs. Is it possible that:"the well-meaning president of ' Christian Endeavor Societies and Epworth ' Leagues who have Issued publicly what is in the form of a letter to Mrs. Longworth do not appreciate the Indencency of their conduct? They say they are "Informed tlhrough the -American press" that she is addtcted to the use of riearettes. We have never seen any statement 'by; any newspaper that she used them, and the (host that can be said is that some gossip about ner siinnosed used 6f- cigarettes has been printed. Such gossip IS cenainiy mi iimtiflcatlnn for anv nubile remon strance. Do not the signers or n"" Dretended letter know that they Should have ascertained the tact Deiore m nressinc onintons? :.;' '' The communication proceeas to uay that the use of cigarettes is con demned by all Christian and progres sive citizens of this, the greatest na tion In the world." This Is untrue as wpII as ImDudent. A great many peo pie dislike cigarettes; some preferring cigars or pipes, and some abstaining fwim tnhnrro In all forms. But that an rrsnna who use cigarettes must be excluded from the select ranksof trio "rhriatlfin and progressive citi- is of course false and absurd. it tho sinners of this letter felt cauea upon to write to-'Mrs. LongwOrth, the only decent thing, .was ior . mem i apnrt her a letter under seal, which she might make public with her reply If nh chose to. or Whlcn sne migni Wirow into the Are and aay r nothing about if resented It. .There is aDso- lutely no palliation ; for tnis attacH upon her Jn an open tetter. trinallv and this nernaps io most Important of all Mrs. Longworth Is a private person, and the fact that her husband Is a member oi congre and her father was recently president affords no excuse for a group or ousy- hndles no matter how good their in tentions may be to Invade that privacy to which Bhe Is entitled.
