THB PRESIDENT g SOCTttBRll VOL-
What la Bait for die Booth and Bait
for the Nation. ,
Knoxville Journal-Tribune. , , '
: The public has heard a sood deal la
past months about what is termed Jhe
"outhoru policy " of the present oce j
pant of the white house. - We Question
if he has anything that may rightfully
be called a southern policy. To call
it that- we are persuaded is a misnomer,
that it should rightfully be called a lib
oral and broad national policy.
It is assumed by- some that the intent
of President Taft i to build a stronger
opposition, or republican party in the
southern states. That he would be
pleased to see such a party in these
states we do not doubt; he believes that
with two strong political parties in the
south, the south would be better off.
The nation is better off from having
two parties, and so it would be in the
states.
yBut there is nothing in the life or the
publio record of President Taft to jus
tify a belief that- iu cibk! tg uuy over
tures he may have made to the south,
he has nothing more in view than the
mere overthrow 'of one political party',
and the bestowal of power upon an
other. He is broad minded and has a
big soul. His patriotism is of a high
order and' his yearnings for the
peace and prosperity of his countrymen
are not circumscribed by geographical
lines. He wants to see the country
united and each section of the union
bound to the other by ties that are
the outcome of a common interest and
common destiny.
..President Taft wants to see the South
take its place on the level of perfect
equality of all the other sections of
the . country. He has not been guilty
of upbraiding the south or of recalling
the deeds of the past who i differences
led too an appeal to arms. He would
have the south judged by . the present,
and not stigmatised on account of any
thing done in the distant past. He is
on ajiigh plane, and while a partisan
he will shape the policy of his admin
istration with the view of removing any
of the sears that remain to remind Am
ericans that there was a time when
they were enimies and not friends.
He would bring about such a happy
condition, not for tho good of the south
alone; but for the betterment of the
whole country. He sees, as all others
not blinded by prejudice must see, that
the country will be better off, that the
nation will be in all respects stronger;
that the people of all Metmns will be
happier and more prosperous, if unity
and harmony are cultivated and prevail,
than if sectional discord and unnatural
strife should exist. This we believe to
be the policy of the Pesirdent, and we
repent, that to oal it a aoutbora j-olir?"
is a misnomer, it owes not eonvey to the
mind the fullness of the benevolent and
highly patriotic purpose that he has in
his mind and heart.
It may be that in carrying oat what
he proposes, he may not always please
all republicans in the southern states.
He does not believe that the republican
party in the southern states has been
strengthened by appointment made to
federal offioes. More than a year be
fore he was elected President, he made
a speeoh at ; Greensboro ia North Caro
lina, in whieh he plainly told hjs au
ditors, who were' mostly republieans,that
he did not believe the republican party
in the south was better off on account
of having the federal Offices. He sees,
aa all have seen, that the straggles and
the contentions of the party have been
productive of hostile factions. : Not sel-
democrat . But looking at the matter
each other with mora of bitterness and
less of tolerance, than has characterised
their contentions with the. democratic
W do not doubt that it gitea the
President more pleasure to appoint a
southern republican to office, who ho be
lieves to bo qualified, and when he is
satisfied that such an appointment will
give aatiafaotioa to reasonable and im
partial men la tbo community, to be
served by nob an official, than it does
to go obtslde of hi party and take a
democrat , Bnt lookin at -the matter
from a purely partisan point of view

A SUPERFLUOUS PRECAUTION.
ABOUT BUSINESS.
Some Merchants Helping the Town.
Honii" of Wuyuesvllle 's leading mer
chants are availing themselves of the
advertising space of The Kntorprise to
offer some especial bargains this week.
We are glad to get such advertising
aside from the revenue it brings to the
paper, for it is showing outsiders that
it is to their interest to trade in Way
nesville. , Such advertisements indicate healthy
business conditions in a town. It shows
that we are alive to improved business
methods and that we're "up to snuff."
Business is thicker than politics and
hard money dollars saved do more to
keep trade at home and draw it from
the outside than all the sentiment in
the world. People are going where
they can get more goods for less money.
If Wnynesville can sell goods so cheap
that it pays the man from Jackson and
the man from Pigeon and the man
from Crabtree to buy here, let them
tell folks so and make their words good
as some of our advertisers are doing.
We don't say all our merchants are
"up to snuff," but some of them are
and others will have to be or stagnate.
The ones who offer bargains as low as
can be had anywhere in the world and
who scatter the news abroad are the
ones who really help a town.

THE BOOTH'S ECONOMIC FOLLY.
Vlnaicatlons of the Contentions of
Southern Republican.
Charlotte Observer.
Hince last Tuesday there bus arisen
iu the United States ttenate a situa
tion which concerns the South very in
timately. Senator AMtii.li we ahull
first review the course of events sub
niittu'd the cotton i;-jols tiiriff sched
ule. On this schedule the finance com
mittee had charged duties from ad va
lorem to specific. It had been urged
that under present rugulationa high
priced experts in importers' pay sue
crssfully ili'ad tnshnieiihtibs and de
feated the law, that administrative deffl
ciency requires specific duties where
the subject mutter is so wry c.onijli
cated; the committee, therefore, taxed
goods at a flat rate by tho pound or
the yard regardless of price variations.
8ineo price variations on some yarns
within recent yonrs have been qilite
one hundred per cent., it is clear that
the flat rate must reckon with prob
able high and probable low, seeking
to establish an average If neither in'
creaso nor JeeteHM in duty is 0Mntm
plated. This,Sonator Aldrich contends,
the finance eommitteo has done care
fully and inn .! tit ,'. tic dutiei
which are true equivalents for the
Dingley law's ad valorem. Of course
varying somewhat from his, and, ia
the nature of the ease, exact demon'
stration is Impossible. It can be said
with truth that the finance committee
estimates to represent a fairly honest
and intelligent effort, for no one con
siders them - very far amiss. Our in
clination after a little pencil work of
our own to accept them as accurate
enough is strengthened -when we take
a glance at the only people, except the
Importers, who have talked otherwise.
Senator LaFollette, the Wisconsin hot
air proposition, contended that the
bow duties will exceed the old by fif
teen or twenty per cent Senator Dol
liver, a man, of real 'parts who, how
ever, haa not been quite himself since
his recent failure to get on tho finance
eommitteo, supported Senator LaFol-
lett ' contentions. Various other
Western Senator, rampant for protec
tion on commodities produced at home,
took occasion by word or vote to make
a tariff revision record after their con
ititamta'. own heart; namely, at the
expense of section so remote a th
Bonth and New England. Into .South

terrible warning that if they support

The Daniels

PLANS TO "BEAD OUT" ALL WHO
. ABB MOT SUFFICIENTLY
RADICAL.
VU1 Make It Bonator Glenn and Sena
tor BneU if no Objections are
Raised.
The Charlotte Observer in a special
from it Washington bureau Monday
morning says:
"The democratic movement down in
North Carolina is becoming interesting.
There i much talk here of what ha
become known as 'the Daniels-Olenn
movement,' which is said to contem
plate the retirement of Senators Over
man and Simmons and six of the North
Carolina bouse delegation and to elect
Joseplms Daniels, editor of the News
and Observer, at Raleigh, now national
democratic committeeman from the
state, to suceed Simmons, and former
Governor Robert B. Glenn to succeed
Overman. In this scheme Daniels Is to
do the writing and Glenn the speaking.
It will be recalled that it was fre
quently said in the last national cam
paign that both of these ambitious Tar
Heels, Daniels and Glenn, expected cab
inet places in the case of the election
of William Jennings Bryan. Boing dis
appointed In their expectations they
will now strike for the senate. As
Simmons' term expires fint the guns
are for the present,, leveled at him. Al
though Simmons is daily voting against
protection rates in the Aldrich bill he
is denounced as a protectionist and a
repubHaiin because he refuses to eon-
sent to discriminations against the pro
ducts of his state and section.
The course of the wind is indicated
by the clamor that is heard. Tho cry
from certain quarters will be "Down
with Simmons and the six; lumber rep
resentatives," and, secretly, this will
be added: "Up with eight other good
democrats."
These are the report that come to
Washington from tho Old North State.
Senator Simmons is the target. His
seat in the senate is the first attractive
thing in sight.
Some time ago Governor Olenn said
something to this effect: That if the
people needed him to redeem the fifth
district they could get him. Many
North Carolinians believe that the
Winston-Salem man thinks that he
hears voices crying in the wilderness; he
may be right. Dr. George A. Mebane,
who also has a keen ear for such thing,
imagines that the call is for "George"
not "Bob." There are others who hear
noises. The fifth district went 'wet"
in the stnto-wldfl prohibition contest.
Govornor Glenn went "dry" a long
time ago, and Dr. Mebane followed suit.
If a majority of the vote of the fifth
are still "wot" something of a surprise
may await either Dr. Mebane of Mr.
Glenn. The wet man with the big
stick does not let opportunities . for
making base hits go by. A snako is a
anake to him.
