THE IGNORANT POLITICAL CRITIC
Like other kinds of advice, that oi
a political nature is often miscon
strued, and often unjustly ' resented.
The Journal some Wteks . ago called
attention to Democratic complacency,
and that the conditions did not war
rant Just sitting down, 'that there
were a number of dangers threaten
ing, and that good work, was needed
to maintain democratic majorities. (
Tn anniA niiartcr. fYt 11 a & tmn.anl tt
actual political conditions criticised
the Journal. But those who recogniz
ed the value of the warning put more
effort into campaign work. All this
has been needed, and ther ia further
need of dmocrats getting to the polls
next Tuesday and voting, and thra
without the necessity of being waited ,
upon by any committee, or having to ,
be treated to cigars and a carrlag
ride. . I
A surprising feature ot a political
franchise is that it is ao little appro j
elated by so many men. "Rebuke the
party in power by casting your bal
lots for its opponents," is a battle
cry. And there are men who will
loudly proclaim for democratic prin
ciples, weeks in advance of election
day, and on the day to vote will have
forgotten their enthusiasm, and be out
of town or out hunting. It may be
our elections are too tk-equent, thai
men thereby lose their Interest, bui
let there come up some chance 01
the loss of the right to vote, and there
will be a wild out cry.
It is hardly likely that any vote
will be changed from now to election
day, but the need Is for democrats
to get out and vote on next Tuesday.
Don't be lazy or Indifferent Don't
expect cigars or a carrlae ride. Be
men enough to value the privilege
of voting, that you hav paid you
poll-tax, and otherwise qualified, ana
then vote.
IT IS CP TO DEMOCRATIC T0TEB8
Promises of Democratic majorities
by local county chairmen, by Stau
chairmen, by the National Chairman,
fill the columns of the press, come b
every mall, and are announced from
platforms. What Is the warrant for
these declarations? Is It simply ef
forts to Inflame voters to action, or
to discourage political opponents, pi
both?
The right of political franchise la
too lightly held, too little appreclatea
. by the average man. It la only when
this right is threatened that ita value
appears. Political apathy Is tbe most
unhealthy state that comes upon
people. It means demoralisation, for
it opens tha door and paves the way
for the professional office holder to
get In charge of office. It place,
men in charge of millions of dollars
worth o' property, of positions of pua
lle trust, that no business mas would
put In car of as many hundred
Voters may make mistakes, the wrong
man may be elected, but far better
this, than neglect and indifference a.
to who may be elected.
It Is not likely that there can be
aoy change la votes from the present.
Every man has determined ia mind

AFTER TRE ELECTION, WHAT!
"This' query does not apply to whe-l
ther Mr. Bryn or Mr. Taft Is elected
next Tuesday.. It is not asked to n- !
plain possible conditions that might
i
arlaa if Democratic succesa In the
State is not as great as now forecast- I
ed. ' In . fact the query has for lta
basis the demand' for' an explanation
locally. Is New Bern and vicinity
to resume normal conditions, finan
cially, Industrially, materially.. This
Is all Important, to every one here, for
upon the election, that Is upon the
final outcome, the termination ot
speeches, circulars, posters, newspa
per disputes, has hung suspended, as it
were, everything of trade and busi
ness. The promise to pay. The pro
mise to d0 more business.
1 For a people so given to trade ant;
barter, the people of the United
States run easily into political mad
ness. Presidential years and poor
business are synonymous. There la
the one explanation, the miserable
financial system, that can be manipu
lated by a few, and this regardless
of industrial and agricultural trade
conditions. . It is this money tinge, the
political campaigning upon the dol
lar basis, that gives the shock to trade
conditions, and costs a depression
that is more due t0 mental fears, than
tO
actual material conditions.
I After the election are piled up man)
promises. Holders of farm product
will market their produce and pa?
their acounts. And so In towns ana
cities, with the election over, those
who owe bills have promised to pay.
Citizens needing articles to wear, sup
plies to eat, fuel to heat their homes,
repairs upon their buildings,, all these
and more have been drifting along
like derelicts, knocking and bumping
against all endeavors upon the pari
of those who would like politics ig
nored, and people to attend to their
, daily affairs, without being under po
litical shadows.
There is much to be done locally,
to promote New Bern's commercial
interests. Bad crops must be met by
business efforts that will more than
offset. Industrial effort is needed.
Local creation to bring In money, noi
local consumption that leaves only
waste. The New Bern call Is to be
up and doing.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, aa they cannot
reach the diseased poftloa of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lln
ug of the Eustachian tube. .When this
tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or' Imperfect hearing, and when
it la entirely closed. Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by . Catarah,
which is nothing but an Inflamed con'
dltlon' of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
(or aoy case of Deafneas (caused by
aUrrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's

LAST BIT OFTHE SYNOD
Institutions of the Church Have Due
Recognition in Reports of Commit
tees. The business of the synod yester
day was hearing reports and state
ments in the Interest 0 religious
and charitable work of the Synoa.
Tbe Barium Springs Orphanage con
dition was discussed and the sum ot
$16,000 assessed for its support ap
portioned t0 the Presbyteries. One
of the important questions was the
matter of appeal. The Synod has nev
er been an intermediate body In this
relation between the Presbytery and
the General Assembly, all question,
of appeal have passed from the for
me,, to the latter and It was showu
where the Synod would often be able
to save the General Assembly much
time in adjudicating cases of disci
pline or other matter on appeal. Steps
were taken through which the Synod
will be granted this power.
A very pleasant action was the
presentation of a sura ot money to
"Uncle" Ceasar, for many years the
faithful guardiaQ and custodian of the
church property . Dr. Vardell made
a few remarks expressing the grati
tude of the Synod to the genial ana
faithful sexton for his solicitude for
the comfort of the visitors and bia
thoughtful care through all these
years.
Rev. G. P. Carpenter addressed the
meeting on mission Sunday Schools
These he said formed the neucleus ot
churches. The mlslon Sunday schooi
fostered by favorable circumstances
have developed into strong and ac
tive churches. It behooves the Synod
to regard this feature aa a very Im
portant part of church work. The
next report was in the Interest of tn
Bible cause which waa followed by
an address by Rev. M. B. Porter 01
Richmond, on the subject urging a
more active interest In the cause. The
Bible must be published ia the dif
ferent languages and dialects in or
der to reach all nationalities.
The report on Sabbath observance
family religion and catechetical In
struction as presented by Rev. E. B,
Leburn showed that there was a de
plorable laxity In the aentlment 01
most churche members toward these
necesary features of christian life.
The family altar waa especially urged
as a safeguard to tbe youth in Pres
byterian homea.
Rev. B. L. Anderson of Winston
Salem, chairman of the committee on
colored evangelisation reported pro
gress In the, work and regretted the
fact that prejudice seemed to exist
in tbe Synod. He aald that the state
of Alabama Is more liberal to the
evangelisation as the negro thon we
ot North Carolina and yet the for
mer state has s worse clasa of colored
people to deal with. The discussion
waa lengthy and quite lively on the
matter the general expression being
to adopt n0 resolution in which the
Synod waa not sincere and tbe purpose
of which they would not carry out
Many spoke of the Importance of thia
Work and the resolutions adopted
were ample and covered the ground
well.
The sermon at night was de
livered by Rev. George H. Atkinson,
and the dlscuston afterward waa on
different matters, relating to tbe tech
nical operation of the Synod. A plan
was prepared by which visiting min
isters will be assigned to churches,
where the Synod will be hfld. The
Synod came to an end laat night
Many left on the tralna yesterday ana
rmly 'a few were left toconduct the
concluding exercises. The meetlna
has been a profitable one full of Im
portant action and discussion. The
members will cherish the New Bern
Synod as one of the best they have
had. The next meeting will be In

EMIGRATION AND LABOR VOTE
Discovery by the' Democratic State
Committee of Republican Skul
duggery, i
Special to Journal:
Raleigh, Oct. 31 "Immigration and
he labor vote another sneake circu
lar." Democratic State headquarters
was advised by wire tonight that ano
her sneak circular was being circu
ited in the State appealing t0 tbe
laboring people to vote tbe Republican
ticket, by charging that the last leg-
islature appropriated 50,000 to bring
the pauper labor of Europe to North
Carolina, ti compete with our labor.
The Republ can Federal statute.
Oiit ned our ports t0 the pauper labor
of Europe i nd admitted to our shores
a million each year. The great trusts
w'.iich dominate the Republican party
a.id are protected by that party, gave
ei.iployment to this labor in competi
tion with American. At the last day
of tho c; mpaign. tbe Republicans at
tempted by garbling the law of North
Carolina to fool and prejudice the la
boring man. This circular charges
that $50,000 was appropriated to en
c urage such emigration. What are
the facts? Chapter 924, acts 1907, pro
vide that our agricultural department
may use annually not exceeding $50,-
000 from the funds of the department
and use $5,000 additional, not other
wise appropriated from the State treaa
ury. For what purpose? For adver-
Using tbe State and ita resources so
as to attract capital, compiling In -
formation and aiding the farmer and
other employers of labor in securing
desirable (migration to the State, such
(migration except a few counties, be
ing confined to the United States,
Canada and other natlona of Teutonic,
Celtic or Saxon origin, and that only
a desirable class of emmlgrants be
so secured. The passage of the law
was demanded by the farmer and
their department man gets and pays
for this work. It Is known that much
capital has been attracted t the state
and a few Scotch ladlea have been
Induced to come to North Carolina,
and find homes with some of our far
ters. Is this the last of their swarm of
false circulars? we can "stand a few
more, bring them In. The Intelligent
of the white laborer of North Caro
lina has been underestimated by the
another o these clubs. He knows the
purpose and effort of the North Caro
lina statute, and he knows more thaa
that. He knows that tho Democratic
platform proposes to treat him as
man while the Republican platform
propoaea to treat him as chattel.
