- Delegation, v.
Washington, May 2 The press dis
patches announce that hia Democratic
colleagues have nut Senator Simmons
In charge of the Democratic a'de of the
ehtef tarlfl debate f -the - present-ea-lion
of Congress that concerning: the
.xe.visiOn of the iron and steel schedule.
And the fight is now on. This 1 the
biggest task that has been allotted to
a, North Carolinian in Congress in two
generations. . ' .
This bit of news must likewise make
those few conspicuous' North Carolina
Democrats who have .been, attacking
Senator Simmons' tariff record, : feel
rather y lonesomey ':The : j Democratic
minority in the United -States Senate
consists of men like Xjore,4 COiberaon,
Gorman, Oacon, Hoke Smithy Overman,
and if thse men see fit to make Sena
tor Simmons head of the corner,' it can
not make any great diff -rencor' that
Representative Clande Kit chin and Gov
ernor ' W. ; W. - Kltihin Vject biro.
There's a reason," as the advertise
ments say, and everybody knows.it,
Ar.d they know too,- how unwotthy of
true Democrats that reason is. '
This bit of news also goes to show
how much was behind the - press dis
patches i few weeks ago, when it was
stated that upon Senator Bailey's re
tirement Simmons would take his place
in the Finance Committee."
Thesirap'e truth ef.I The; matter
that Senator S mums" is a bigger; man
than some of his North Carolina rival"
would like for the State to know, In
ten years he haa won his - way right to
the front of th ) most august leglstativ
body in (he world and his flht for th
revision1 of Uie tariff on steel end iron
will be one of the great arenas in Whi h
the battlx of tlcf Democratic patty wil
be fought out .this year. '; ; Z
Us has away of making god. Now
watch him c.in luct the fir for the re
vision of the iron and ' Fteel' schedule.
When he finithts that j b th , Nairni
will ait up ami take notice, and the flu
publican party Jo bn f-wili dreatt
bis name like the Republican faity fn
the State does now.' He has never yel
failed to come out on top," and North
Carolina will cheer him on" now that he
takes in hand the biggest thing a North
Carolinian has had to do in Congress
since the day of Nat Macon. She will
cheer him on, and she will expect him
to succeed.
Hit friends will miss him in the cam
paign, but who would not prefer to have
himgnirgup against the '.mighty at
Washington rather : than.- using, the
State'a time to canvass for himself? And
there are yet some people who would
rather vote for mm who fai h'ully
sticks ti th.t post of high duty than tit
a candidate who cm find In" his public
position nothing better to do than ' to
canvas for himself.
The Democracy of N rth - Carolina
must Le prmd of this fresh and signal
recognition of hec senior Senator, and
it must likewise - apprednte te. fact
that his promotion me vis much ti the
party io evry way. To the cnl that
he shall succeed in so great a task it
bthooves every Demoffrat noj only to

In Order That Conditions Sow
- Existing' May Be Improved. -,
To the editor of the Journal; .... . . ;
Sir; . .
Having noticed the timely articles
in your paper in rrgaid to James Ci S
conditions, and commendiog you : for
them; we wish to make a few sugges
tion. ' " ' '
We recognize through repeated as
sertions, and the fact that our Federal
Court last week had so many cases of
selling liquor Without license, that our
Prohibition law is not adequately en
forced. . We ask why? ' "u
Under the law of the United States
a person who'makes a business of sell
ing liquor haa to have a licet se costing
$25 00. That license must be posted up
iq plain view of the public. The' pos
session of that license under the law of
North Carolina is prima facie evidence
that the holder thereof is engaged In
selling liquor, which la an absolute vio
lation of our Prohibitory law. .'
Why are not these parties arrested
and prosecuted, for violatiing this law?
.. If no license ia-procured the sel'er of
liquor is arrested, prosecuted, and sen
tenced under Federal law, as evidence
by the eighteen or more persons sent to
the Penitentiary and county jail at the
recent term of Federal Court here, ; i
Tbre is a statute on our books that
ill enable our men to enforce the Pro
hibition law. V It is this; ? V ".; .
Section 3721 of the, Revisal prescribes
as follows:'-if. i' .,..: -
All just ices of peace, Intendant and
magistrates of police, mayors of towns,
and judges of the supreme Or superior
court, who shall have good ' reason to

where intox eating liquors are sold con

then, it shall be lawful for such justice
f the peic-y inten a ,t and magistratf
of "police, major of town,- or judeof
supreme and supeii ir court to issue to
the Bheriff of the county, or any con
stablo of the town or.township in which
said place where intoxicating liquors
are sold contra-y to law, are supposed
to be, a subpoena,, capias and testifi
candum, or summons in writing, com
manding such person to appear immedi
ately before sa d j isVi:e of peace, in-
cendant or magistrate of police, mtyor
or j idg, and give eiddnce on oath as
to what he may know touching the ex
istence, establjt timent and whereabouts
of said places . where intoxi 'at ing
liquors are sold; contrary to law, and the
names and personal description of the
keep ra thereof ; ' and such evidecce
when obtained shall bs considered and

snd destroy raid tables, or issue process
therefor, in like manner aa- they do by

That a serious panic, did- not ensue is
believed to have been due to the fact
that thousands of persons on outskirts
Of the crowd did not know what the
trouble was. Responsibility for the
tearing down of the flig is disclaimed
by the Socialists, v who assert that
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World committed the act
' The Socialists representatives on the
platform appear to have done their best
to protect the national colors. '
The trouble started at the conclusion
of a parade of 8,000 men and women,
who gathered in the park for speech
making. Red banners, the emblems of
socialism already adorned the 'speakers
platform, and the band was playing the
"Marseillaise,,, when the Stars and
Stripes were carried to the stand as
the firat speaker was about to be intro

excitement

MARKET REVIEW
General Decline In Price Specula
tors and Longs Sell Heavily.
, New York, May 4,-Cotton. has de
clined sharply. This was due to several .
causes. - In the first place the market
had become heavily overbought. There
has been no large outside speculation,
yet in certain quarters the long inter
est has become . Very large.. In , the
aecond place there were signs of better
weather at the South. , And it is con
sidered after all as. pretty early to kill ,
the crop. The price is so high that
many believe that every effort will be
made to raise a big crop. On Wednes
day came a sudden outpouring of cotton -On
the market here under the weight
of which it snapped, ' It dropped nearly
40 points, or $2 'a bale, Waldorf-Aa- '
toria. Wall Street, Philadelphia spot in- .
terest. the South and the West sold in .
enormous blocks, , bpot people were
s lid to have sold a couple of hundred
thousand bales here and in Liverpool.
Some insist that the consumption has
been overestimated and that a couple
of million bales will be carried over jnto
next season. Tbis, it is figured, will
largely offset any probable decrease in
the coming crop. On the o'her hand,
bulls contend that the technical position '
has been vastly improved by the en
ormous liquidation and the decided fall '
in prices. Spot sales at Liverpool on
Thursday suddenly increased to 12,000
bales. , .
That was taken as meaning the spin
ners are more ready to buy-, The spot
situation is considered Steady. There, is
only a certain "quantity of contracta
avaliable here in New York. ' Bulls
may turn on the short at any time and
put np the price sharp'y. All the re
ports go to .show that the crop is 2 to 3
points late. Even in Texas that is said
to be the case. It .is also contended
that we it her conditions from now on
will have to be unusually good if a crop
of the requisite size is to be raiced.
Meantime, the consumption continues
large, It is believed there will be acme
reduction in the acreage. On Friday
prices were irregular, but ended lower -with
spot interests and Waldorf Astoria
operators selling. The Waldorf crowd
are disgusted because they think they
have been "holding the bag," while
other big bulls unloaded on them.'
