C Lewls Thorpe, secretary of a band j at Bethlehem, Pa., played the piano 30 hours and 15 minutes without stopping:. The man living in the nsxt room is to blame for his not stopping. '? - We ..gree with the Spartanburg Jouvaa! that Felder's letter to Blease is pretty good evidence that he didn't write the letter to Huh Evans. The writer of the letter to Evans could, hardly have composed the letter to Blease. The Raleigh News and Observer says Judge Ewart Is the only pro gressive Republican leader in Nor in Carolina. There is no room for any such Republican in North Carolina. His place is in the Democratic par ty, where he fill land, sooner or later. , The outlook for the Democratic party is fine. It has been commis sioned to do a great work, and be fore entering upon it all traitors in the ranks must be eliminated and sent to the rear. It makes no differ ence how he voted in the past, if he is willing to vote right now, enroll ty, where he will land, sooner or We believe that every farmer who selb} his cotton for less than fifteen cents a pound under prassent condi tions Is being robbed of the differ ence hetween the price he receive* and fifteen cents. Spot cotton is In trinsically worth fifteen cents, If the law of supply and demand govern the value of the product. Som? newspaper attributes the loss of the power of the press to the edi tors riding on tickets paid for In ad vertising Instead of cash. We have seen it stated that the pulpit, too, is losing its power. Wonder if the rid ing of the preachers on clergyman's tickets have anything to do with the pulpit's losing power? The Kingstree Record is putting 1n a handsome, new power press to meet its increased business needs. The Record is a newspaper that ?tandt up for its convictions under any and all circumstances, and we therefore note its prosperity with great pleasure. May it continue to prosper and to grow with the coming years. The Newberry Herald and News, declines to publish the Felder letter to Gor. Blease because it is a scurri lous attack. May be so, but having published the attack on Felder, The Time*, and Democrat thought it noth ing but rirht and just but that it should publish the Felder letter also. The Letter published about Felder was no Sunday-school piece by any mean.. Former Governor Ansel is a recep tive candidate for a Federal Judge snip when Judge Brawley retlreB, which it Is expected, he will do soon on account of his advanced age. He is seventy years old and has the priv ilege of retiring on full pay, we un derstand. Governor Ansel "stands fn" 'vlth the President, It is said, and lias been recommended by twen ty Governors for that place. The Camden News says "ragged posters' stuck about on buildings and fences, and signs of every descrip tion tacked all about are too piu ? vincial and unsightly. They certain ly detract very greatly from the bet ter appearance of a town and make hideous the objects they adorn." No town that has not laid aside such modes of advertising can be classed with the progressive towns of the State. Collier's {shows h->w competition cuts prices. In 1S 6 0 the price of stee mils was $93 a ton. In 1S9S, afte* 38 years of the inventions and economies stimulated by free compe tition, the price of steel rails Ind been reduced to $17 a ton. In 1901 the steel trust was formed and fived the price of steel rails at the arbi trary figure of $28 a ton. In 1911, after 10 years of trust domination, the price of steel rails remains at $28 i a ton. A 2-entleman from Texas writes to The News and Courier to say that he has read with pain that newspapei "ugly criticism of the greatest, best anc. truest man in the American Sen ate." The Texas gentleman is mis taken. It was not an ugly" criticism of Mr. Bailey by any means, but it was a masterly one. and that is why "a gentleman from Texas" though tt was; an ugly one. In other words. Tho News and Courier palr.ted Joseph W. in his true colors. An old editor over in Missouri, who had owned and edited a ne\\b pa;.ier for the past forty years, re tired and turned the business ovei to his son. If we live seven years lof.ger, we can do the same thing, as then we will have been connected Wi':h The Times and Democrat forty ye;;.:rs, and we have a son, connected with the office now, who is fully com pe ent to take our place, when Old Father Time bids us stand aside. That time is not very far distant. Another Proposed Third Forty. "It is clearly hinted that if Taft and a man like Harmon are the nomi nees of their respective parties next year a thlr-party ticket will be put in the field, in all probability with Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin in first place," says the Augus-Ua Chron icle. "It is said that the extrtme insur gents of the Republican party will I not support a conservative like Taft, and rather than do so wll1 bolt their party. It Is claimed also taat the so called progressives in the Democratic party will not line up for z. -man iik* Harmon, and would prefer support ing one more radical, even under a party name other than Democrat. "The organization of the National Progressive League, with Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, oue of the chief insurgents in congress, at Its head, is said to have something like that in view. It will first endeavor to pre vail upon the Republican party to nominate a progressive or insurgent, and, failing there, will support the Democratic ticket if it happens to be headed by a man of tho Woodrow Wilson type. Unsuccessful there, they will form a new party. "Third parties.have been common In the history of the country. Rarely have theiy risen to great dignity or survived many campaigns-.. The two most notable during the past fifty years were the Greenbackors and the Populists. Headed by'Ben Butler and General Weaver, respectively, the first cut a figure In two presidential elections, having the support of a paper as conservative as the New York Sun in one of them. But Lhe vote polled, while numerous in the aggregate, did not cut a wide swath in the electoral college. "The second cut a figure more Im portant, polling more than a million votes in 1892, and carrying several states, holding some of them for sev eral years. The Republican party, itself; came into being as a "third party," growing from a mere handful into a great political organization. But its birth and early establishment are accounted for by the natio-wide cateclysm it propelled. "One may doubt if this nation will ever have another successful third party. The only chance for one is through the destruction of one or .both of the leading parties as tne> exist now, and as no other party is bound by any organic rules or con duct or policy it Is reasonably certain that the two now existing will con tinue to cover all the wide avenues of public sentiment. "In a party government like ours it is essential that there be two polit ical organization of something like equal strength. If there were three of relatively the same importance, there would be rule by a minority rather than the majority. Necessar ily, we will always have two, but no more than two of any importance for any great period of time. "Tradition, if nothing more, will sustain and perpetuate the two old parties, unless some great cause, like the approach of the Civil War, should cause the annihilation o'.' one of them. Sentiment out of harmony with the main tenets of both wiii continue to find factional expression within them; and when sufficiently power ful will control them. "To fear that both parties will be controlled by the same forces and inspired by similar sentiments for any considerable time Is to ignore natural law. So long as they derive their power, as does tho government from the citizen, just so long wn they, as nearly as possible, be repre sentative of the wishes of the peo ple?the division being made along the line of least resistance. "No better good couid come to the Democratic party than lor LaFollette and his brother insurgents to for a third party as an offshoot of the Re publicans. Though they would have the support of some Democrats, their main strength would come from states that are doubtful and from the Republicans." The Chronicle closes the above ar ticle, which gives us a clear Insight into third parties, and their probable duration, by saying "we believe it would Insure the election of a Demo cratic president" Don't Delay Tarif? Revision. We fully agree with the Spartan burg Journal tha: "the Democrals should carefully avoid any semblance of complaisance with Mr. Taft's idea that tariff revision other than the passage of the Canadian reciprocity at the extra session "mteht .desturb business." President Taft would nat urally prefer to postpone all further modifications ?f the tariff ? except the proposed C^nndhn agreement? until the present or a larger rmd more eenrronsly emnowed tariff beard shall have made reports on some of the m^ct faulty schedules. "But the "eon!r> are not in a mood for delny In tariff rev's'on. They want C^n^'Man re*?lr**,ccitv, but they wnnt still m^re 3 sla=MnT of some ot the most oiitrn^pous duties imwed by the present law. It is the nrns n?ct of a more e^proi revisicn. rath er than that of Cannon reciprocity, that has created uni"?u',l internct in (be evtra ses=>on. It is un to the D^moer^ts to show their hind on the tariff. They have come into power in the house thron rh th? betrayal of the neonle by the republicans. The Irnise that will meet in extra session April 4 will be the same house that will meet in regular s?spion in December. "There is no need ;or dplny. And if the policv announced some t'^e aso by Speaker Clark prevails, there will be no delay. The n^w speaker declared that if there should De an extra session the Vt^mocrntr. would proceed to cut out the most fiigrant abuses of the existing law. that no preparation was nee^r-d for that task and that there could be no excuse toi j delaying the operation. And that Is the truth. If the If ig tarlf session of 1 909 did not sufficiently eMiehten the leaders of conercss on ;he prln cipal "jokers" In the new law, cer tainly the operation rind discussion of the act since that time have made them clear enou?h." As the Journal points out, the Democrats will make a mistake if they postpone tariff re vision,- and the Republicans will make another mistake if they op pose tariff* legislation in the special session. Nothing else is to be ex pected of the Republicans, as the peo ple have about retired them from power, and commissioned the Demo crats to carry out such reforms, as they want enacted into law for the benefit of the people. If the Demo crats allow themselves sidetracked by Mr. Taft or any other Republican, they will make a mistake. The peo ple have commissioned them, and not tho Republicans, to carry out the re forms they want, and they dare not shirk their responsibility.
