MUST RECKON WITH.

The Paris Figaro gets some things
about right. For instance, there are
one or two things that are right in the
following editorial opinion which APP
peared in the Figaro just before the
battle of Manila: With the fine, gen
erous ardor of the Spaniards--it was
they who began the firing at Matanzas
I'VE ought to expect some brilliant
fighting and heroic combats. And why
should not the Spanish ships come out
victors in the Philippines? They are
less modern than the others, it is true;
they have a less perfect armament, and
less scientific engines. But they have
the advantage of numbers, and, be-
sides, material things are not every
thing. We must reckon with the brav-
cry Of those who work the guns, and
who possess an ardent faith in the no.
bility and rightfulness of their cause.
1t is entirely true that in such an af-
fair as that at Manila we must reckon
with the bravery of those who work
the guns and who possess an ardent
| faith in the nobility and rightfulness of
| their cause. And the Figaro might
have added without stretching the
| truth that we must reckon with the
skill of those who know how to work
| the guns so as to be able to hit the
side of barn at short range.

THE MONROE DOgrRYyE

The Monroe doctrine is worth another
reading just now. In the seventh an
nual message sent by President Monroe
to congress December 2, 1923, President
Monroe said: OF events in that quarter
of the globe with which we have so
much intercourse, and from which we
derive our origin, we have always been
anxious and interested spectators. The
citizens of the United States cherish
sentiments the most friendly in favor
of the liberty and happiness of their
fellow-men on that side of the Atlantic.
In the wars of the European powers, in
matters relating to themselves, we have
never taken any part, nor does it COM
port with our policy to do so. 1t is only
when our rights are invaded or seriously
menaced that we resent injuries or
make preparation for our defense. With
the movements in this hemisphere we
are of necessity more intimately con-
nected, and by causes which must be
obvious TO all enlightened and impartial
observers. The political system of the
allied powers is essentially different in
this respect from that of America This
difference proceeds from that which ex-
lists in their respective governments.
And to the defense of our own, which
has been achieved by the loss of so
much blood and treasure and matured
by the wisdom of their most enlighten-
ed citizens. and under which we have

Sailors for Town and Country

A new type of sailor hat is in very
rough mixed straw, the brim rather
wide, the crown low. Such a sailor is
not suited to city wear, but is intended
for outing use. Light blue and natural
color straw are blended, and so are
brown and yellow and navy blue and
scarlet. The band matches the bright
er color. The city sailor is again of the

A SURPRISE FOR ST. K1LDA.

The inhabitants of the lonely isle of
St. Kilda were astonished one winter,
not long ago, at the appearance Of a
great blood-red, conical object floating
on the wild Atlantic pillows to the
westward Of the isle. With much diff
ficulty the derelict was brought to
shore, and as the S. Kildans had never
before seen such a queer-looking
things and could make no guess as to
it's purpose or place in the scale of
created things, they INDUCED in wild
visions of it's valuable nature. But
when the factor came across on his
yearly visit from the neighboring but
distant island Of Great Britain, he
identified it as a great iron buoy,

The Woman's club of Kansas City,
Missouri, has undertaken a novel work,
that commends itself to similar organi-
cations elsewhere, which is the support
of public library by means of a dog
tax. The present arrangement has
been in force about six months and
has worked well. Prior to last October
the dog tax was collected by an i'm
FOUNDER, who received for his compen-
sation one-half of the fees. But re-
gardless of the inducement held out to
the dog catcher to do his work, only
about 1000 out of the 1000 dogs in the
city were made to pay the penalty for
existence The women secured the ap-
pointment of dog enumerator, who
takes an annual canine census, and the
tax paid on the dogs by their owners
goes ope-half to the library and the
other to identifying the public parks
This ordinance has had the effect of
greatly reducing the number of dogs,
but enough remain so that the tax de-
rived therefrom is large enough to add
a,4O0 new books to the public library.
Under the ordinance, arrest follows a
refusal to pay a dog tax, after due

The use of tube to examine plant
and animal life beneath the surface
of the water has been known for many
years, but until recently the instrument
has been extremely crude and simple.
IAN engineer of Cracow, Malachowski,
has devised an instrument which, in
addition to its use by naturalists, can
be used to examine the hulls of ships,
bridge-piers, submerged foundations,
and river bottoms. The apparatus con-
sists of system of lenses, a diverging
tube of zinc, and closed box with a
thick glass bottom into which the zinc
tube fits. The field of view under the
glass plate is illuminated by an mean
descent lamp on branch tube. If it
Us desired to make lateral observations,

tubes fifty feet in length have been
employed, and the greater and more
apparent difficulties connected with the
instrument seem to have been success
fully overcome.

Spain's queen regent has done much
for her country. Ever since she became
a widow, twelve years ago, she is said
to have steadily declined, to draw the
allowance of 100000 per annum to
which she is entitled as widow of a
king of Spain. And she has a right to
ais much more as regent of the king
dom. Moreover, since 1898 she has
turned over to the treasury each year
100000 more of the civil list which the
constitution provides for the nainten-
ance of the king and Of the royal fam
lily. Lately she donated a sum of $780,
900 to the national defense fund, and
three months back she gave her per-
sonal guarantee on the strength of her
Austrian fortune to the Rothschilds of
Vienna for an advance to the Spanish
government of S10,000,000.

Especial TO The Messenge

Especial TO The Messengerl
Goldsboro, y. c., September 2e.-This
has been a great day FOR the democra-
cy OF Wayne county. Hon. c. II. Ay-
cock, Wayne's most honored son, met
DR.. Cyrus Thompson In Joint debate
today at Hood Swamp, about ten miles
from here. The populists had antici-
pated the day with pleasure. but to-
night they are sorry 1t ever came.
They had their man before them and
he failed utterly OF their expectations.
Their champion, in whom they had
placed implicit confidence n In whom
they had staked the salvation OF their
party, went down in death before their
very eyes.
The place OF meeting had been left
to the populists and they selected Hood
Swamp because they considered II one
Of their st~rongholds, n IL the
strength of the party is to be meas
ured by the representation at the
speaking today, 1t is very small indeed
in Wayne county. Out OF the 700 peo-
pie who were present il is estimated
that near 600 were democrats and the
balance populists and republicans.
Mr.. Aycock opened the debate in a
speech which lasted about an hour.
His speech was one OF the grande.t
ever heard in Wayne county and was
overlooking with ~ennobling sentiment
and democratic doctrine. He Seemed
to anticipate every point that his an
tagonist would make and answered
every question before 1t was asked.
The applause that greeted his splen-
did climax was deafening. He seemed
to catch inspiration from the eager
response that greeted his fiery elo-
quence and dealt blow after blow In
a manner upon the red
headed populist orator who was to an
swer him.
When DR.. Thompson arose to speak
his cOuntenance showed that ne was
sick at heart. His feeble reply failed
to arouse the least enthusiasm from
his few followers present. His speech
after he got his nerve would have
passed very well at the log schoolhouse
Friday night debating society meet
ings, but 1t fell far short of an answer
to the able arguments OF his predeces-
sor. He tried in vain, with his mon
key actions and corner of the fence
funny stories to elicit n laugh from
his audience, but their life blood had
been chilled to the bones by the bare
~presentatin Of the terribleness OF the
political situation In North Carolina
as outlined By Mr.. Aycock In his OPEN
ing speech.
In the rejoinder OF MI. Aycock he
gave DR.. Thompson such a drubbing
as he never had before. He spared no
words to show him up TO his friends
in his true light, and many democrats
present really felt sorry for the doc
tor.

Troops Sail for ~Spain-Vyives and
SVVeethearls Left Observation-Disclosures
Causing Delays in Pro-

San Juan, Porto Rico, September II,
delayed in transmissiOn.) The Span
ish transport San Francisco sailed
for Spain today. There was a repe-
tition of yesterdays scene when the
Asturias battalion of Spanish troops
marched to the wharf for embarkation.
Captain General Macias and his staff
reviewed the departing soldiers, who
babe farewell to their sweethearts and
wives. Some of the soldiers wept pro-
fusely, and there was quite a pathetic
aspect to the affair. AS the ship
swung away from the pier the soldiers
on board of her raised a faint cheer
and the women proceeded to the sea
wall, where they stood for hours a
ing their handkerchiefs until the San
Francisco was only a speck on the
horizon.
The Spaniards, at the meetings of
the military commissioners, are rails
ing many questions regarding the civil
administration of the island and the
disposition of public property; but the
American commissioners refuse to dis
cuss them, as being beyond their jur-
isdiction. Our commissioners are dis
posed to allow the Spaniards to carry
off a lot OF useless, old material, rather
than make a fight to retain it.
