JOHN M. OGLESBY, City Editor.
Concord, N. C. August 34, 1910
Some time ago the Greensboro New
aaid of Mr. D. H. Blair, the Bepubli
ean nominee for Congress in the fifth
district:
And OoL David Hamilton Blab
will take the best he can get in any
department of the State or National
Government, provided always, that
there is Incre, filthy or otherwise, in
the job. David is always on deck if
the transportation is .arranged and
there are no extra charges."
The Democratic papers all speak of
Mr. Blair aa a "first-rate gentleman"
and the only derogatory word we have
seen published about him is the above
from the only Republican daily paper
in the State.
Candidates Doughton and Cowles,
Democratie and Republican nominees
respectively for Congress in this dis
trict, met in Sparta, Alleghany coun
ty, Tuesday in joint discussion. The
Republican editor of the Wilkes Pa
triot rushes special to the daily pa
pen saying that Doughton fell down
entirely before Cowles. Those who
know the two men and who have heard
both of them speak know this report
is not correct. Give us the facts, and
not the distorted opinion of a partisan
whose thoughts are the children of hia
wishes and prejudices.

Prohibition Law Ignored in Lexington
Lexington Dispatch.,
If the prohibition laws are not en
forced any better throughout the
State than they are in Lexington and
Davidson county, the law is undoubt
edly the greatest farce of the age.
Before prohibition became effective
in this State, citizens of Lexington
had to go, to the trouble of either go
ing or sending; J Salisbury for their
"tooze,' but since we have a prohi
bition law, liquor is hauled into town
in broad, open, daylight and sold by
the jugful in less than one hundred
yards from.. Main street, almost as
publicly as farmer, sell sweet eider.
There is sueh strong competition
among the blind tigers of the town
that blind tigering uas become, poor
business. The town is surrounded
by four alleged near-beer saloons, no
one of which eould pay the tax and
run thirty .days if they sold nothing
but , near-beer, because near-beer is
a mere slop and not fit for a hog to
drink.

the recent turndowns he has received

have only whetted the western appe

. To a disinterested onlooker who Is at

Seventeen States Visited.
Starting from New York on Tuesday,
Aug. 23, the Boosevelt Itinerary cov
ers nearly 6,500 miles. He traverses
seventeen states, has twenty sched
uled stops and fourteen regular
speeches and is gone nearly three
weeks. The formal talks represent but
a fraction of those to be made, bow
ever, as there will be cheering throngs
at every stop, and, given a combination
of a shouting multitude, a rear plat
form and the colonel, only one result
can follow. The speeches may not be
long and may not say much about pol
itics, but speeches there must be. In
deed, the only difference between this
tour and one made while Boosevelt
was an occupant of the White Bouse
is that this one is to be more noisy.
It is a presidential tonr plus.
In detail the itinerary of the trip is
as follows: Leaving New Tork on the
morning of Aug. 23, the first stop IS
at Utica, where the Initial speech of
the series an address on the country
life movement Is delivered before a
grange picnic. There Is a day's stop
in Utica, the departure being made at
midnight on the 24th. Arriving at
Buffalo, there is an hour between trains
with breakfast at the Kllicott club.
The trip to Chicago ends at 0 o'clock
on the evening of the 25th with nearly
a two hours' stop. Here the Hamilton
club has extended an Invitation, the
same club, by the way, that entertains
Colonel Boosevelt on his return to the
Windy City two weeks later. , Leaving
Chicago at 10:45, there is a thirty min
utes' stop at Omaha on the afternoon
of Aug. 26, after which the long run
across the plains to Cheyenne Is be
gun. Arriving at the Wyoming capi
tal at 10 o'clock on Saturday; Aug. 27,
the empyrean and all other rippable
things will be torn Into shreds. : -"frontier
Days" Cause of Trip.
Cheyenne is not only the feature of
the tour, but the reason for Its exist
ence. - The Invitation to its "frontier
days" celebration was ; accepted in
Egypt, the first American data made
by Colonel Boosevelt after his emer
gence from the African Jungle. "Fron
tier days" Is a chapter out of the
book of the old west - It has come to
be a national event and Is attended
even by people from foreign lands. It
is a meeting of the cowboys from all
the states and territories where cow
boys still flourish. It Is a real wild
west show by men and bones fresh
and on their mettle. In it men from
Texas meet those from Oregon, the
event of the year for all the riders In
the short grass territory.
, Imagine the appeal that such an
vent would make to Colonel Boose-
veltl Got- Why, ot course ho would
go. He bad himself been a cowboy In
Montana, Anything that smacked of
the old life was as meat and drink.
And so after bis trounclngs by the
machine In bis own state be Is on his
way to the west-the big and vfrfle
west that loves him as its very own.
"Seal Wert at Cheyenne .
""At "frontier days' the most Incor
rigible of the outlaw horses are roped
and ridden,, the biggest steers are las
soed and tied in the quickest time, the
wildest races are run, the best cow

naturally as the sparks fly upward, .At

Cheyenne and the west feel . the

accepted any ' other. They have re
turned the compliment by namlnr the
last two days of their tournament

hia own days on the ranch and there
bo becomes the center of the wildest
and most genuine welcome that an
American citizen, probably ever re
served. By more bulk and numbers It
may have been dwarfed by the New
Tork reception to the returned banter.
There were more whistles, more plug
bats and possibly more of a parade at
the . metropolis. ' But in spontaneity
and ptetaresqueness aye, even in pa
triotic thrills the palm must be given
to Cheyenne.
