Sectien One, Tuesday, Mi; 6, 1908 EXACTIONS OF THE POLITICIANS. Already by mall and through personal solicitation, this office Is being beselged by the offloe seeker and his friends, for newspaper favors. It may not be so regarded by .many, bat It is true, that politics Is Just much a business and profession, as is the conduct of a newspaper. This being so. to seek free notices from a newspaper, by the politician, is an exaction, that is unfair and unjust, especially where the newspaper people are neither in politics, nor '.seeking fa- Tors to offset what is given the politi cians through the newspaper's columns. For Its return, no business in North Carolina is so expensive as the publica tion of a newspaper, and yet if the record could be made known, the press has been and Is today, contributing more towards good government, than all the politicians, and all other sources taken together. This contribution is given freely and gladly, as is the effort, whenever a news paper is published, to promote local betterments of every kind. There is much that can be classed as "news" In politics, which receives free Insertion, as well that space which may be given as a contribution by the news paper for its own political party, should the publisher so desire. But there la matter which is sent to every newspaper, that is only for the in dividual benefit of the person, or his friends seeking its publication, and to press upon its free insertion, with the claim that it is the "duty" of the news paper to "stick by its political friends," Is nothing more or less than political exaction. The newspaper at the most liberal es timate gets little when the office seeker does pay, and yet the average politician paring a dollar to a newspaper Is more exacting in his demands, than is the merchant paying five times as much, for really doing the same thing, namely, advertising what he has to offer to the public And it is not alene in giving free pace to the politician, that the newspa per is put to an expense all its own, for the public parade of one candidate's qualifications, means that a host of ene mies arise against the newspaper, which is doing such gratuitous work, and this means another loss to the publisher', and a most serious one in every In stance. Office seeking Is a business, and. to seek to exact free space from a newipa per, is not .conducting , pqlUlct in Jrne business manner. THE POLL TAX LAW, CRAVEN ;:" . couHTT.;:.:,; ::j::t ; Now that the Poll Tax law, . in regard to the j-lirhtof antavtn. the elective , rraacmse nas gone into enect, we situs ' tlon as to the white and the, negro vote , in Craven county, is a subject worthy of consideration. - ; Without the actual figures available, '. It can be stated ' that the white ; voters who have failed to psy ,thelr poll tax, , will be less than one hundred, probably ; Theie "has been a general interest . among we wanes to coma in uuuer iu i law.

There have been "rumors" of "funds" and "secret workings, whereby the ne gro vote was to be made available. through poll tax payments. . But not a single fragment of evidence has materialised from these "rumors" to prove even their having had possible existence In fact. , The situation Is, la this county, that the whites recognised the law, and have secured their elective franchise, while the negroes, without leadership, and In different to a political condition which gave promise of there being nothing In It for them, personally, have let the privilege of voting pass by Ahem this year. AN ADVANTAGEOUS TEXAS LAW. With the tremendous development of the oil Industry In Texas, and its effect upon the oil markets of the world. In providing an extra supply for fuel, lubri cating and other purposes, It Is not hard to see the advantageousneas of the Texas aptl-trust law, which has prevented this LnewDll Industry from being quickly gobbled up by the Standard Oil Com pany, and thus cut off the benefit to the consumer, which has come through this oil discovery. And not only to the consumer, but this new Industry in Texas, in the Beau montand other oil sections, has given employment to millions of dollars cap! tal and thousands of men, which would not have been the case, had there been no anti-trust law In Texas. With the Standard Oil Company In control of the Texas oil fields, the de velopment would have been practically nothing. Instead there are today 241 gushers pouring forth oil, benefitting thousands of workmen and the transportation com panies, and creating dividends for thous ands of small stockholders. The people of Texas can congratulate themselves In thus protecting their In terests, and having their development come through the efforts of many, In stead of having their development kept In check and held subject to half a dozen outside multl-mllllonalres.

The Daughters of the .Confederacy are justly proud of the Improvements at the Soldiers' Home here and feel that but for their efforts these would never have been msde. The News and Observer declines to take sides In the Clark controvery. Some persons declare that Judge Clark must make a statement orer his own signature, while the other side declares he must not go into print but must avoid any controversy.
