The reception OF the TWO nunufeu ana
twenty -eight-page TWENTIETH CEN
TURY STATE EDITION OF THE
NEWS AND OBSERVER has been
most gratifying. From all sections OF
the country have come expressions of
astonishment that the greatest paper
ever issued in the world should come
from a small Southern city, and the
story of North Cardinals business,
manufacturing and educational progress
should be so marked as to make pos
sible the publication of a paper devoted
to telling about the States progressive
towns and enterprises and the men
whose industry and genius have made
North Carolina 1.-THE Empire State of
the South.
Copies of this issue have been sent
to every country on the globe, letters
come daily from bankers and investors
in many Northern cities for copies of the
splendid edition, and in North Carolina
the men whose generous cooperation
made the great paper possible are sur
prised at the recital of the life and
progress of their own Commonwealth.
Each town and county in the State has
been busy with it's own industries, see
ing the result of its own and its neigh
ber's labor but none of us here at home
knew that the whole State was like
wise alive until the 22S-page News and
Observer told of the general growth and
progress that have quickened every
town and city of the Commonwealth.
Immigration agents, capitalists, rail-
reads, bankers, investors, promoters,
speeulators-all who are looking for the
best opening for investments and for
and having them bound i'll permanent
form for permanent reference.
We could fill the whole sixteen pages
with extracts from private letters and
editorial extracts commencing the edi-
tion as the marvel of modern journal
ism. We have heretofore published a
few other extracts from newspapers in
this and other States in addition to
those already printed. We cannot give
extracts from other papers or from pri-
vate letters because they are too many,
and would take up too much space.
One banker in Raleigh sent copies to
his banker associates in other States,
and we give few of the replies re-
ceiyed:
4 Baltimore banker writes: 'It is in
deed massive affair and speaks weH of
enterprise, both from a journalistic and
business standpoint. On Sunday
after dinner, with good cigars at hand
we will endeavor to dissect the entire
paper
A Norfolk banker wrote: The big
edition of the News and Observer is
far ahead of anything we have ever
seen i'll the way of progressive journal
ism"
A Petersburg banker writes: 1T looks
very imposing, not to say formidable.
4 Richmond banker writes: 1T Is q
feat of journalism"
One of the first railroad men of
America received one copy and tele-
graphed for fifteen more.
Many progressive business men OF
America, and all in North Carolina,
have joined in terms Of warmest COM
mendation. Among the comments we
value are the following In addition 10
those already printed:

Carolina in every department of her
life. The State owes our friend a
debt of gratitude. We were looking for
something great; but this edition is be-

CHICAGO has become the storm center

Those who disapprove of the war, nota-

Every citizen Of the United States who

There is not a particle Of doubt that
the Filipinos will be subdued And it is
equally certain that in doing so we lower
our national honor. Might does not make
right either between nations or individ-
uals. The speeches delivered in the Eng

continuance by England Of the war
designed to perpeJuate English control
over the thirteen American colonies were
hailed with pleasure at this side of the
water They were Of the same character

For once the New York Legislature is
receiving words of praise from the re-
spectacle element of the state without
regard to party. This is due to the mas
terful qualities of the governor, TEDDY
Roosevelt. He may be a little too much
inclined to settle things by fight but he
is active in everything pertaining to
public matters He has some of Tom
Reeds qualities and when he dominates
it is not for his personal gain. Roose

THE legislature did one good thing in
changing the law for damages for injur-
counties are concerned. No one can
bring suit except the person injured.
Suits by relatives for loss of service occa-
stoned by the injury or for mental an
guish are cut off. The damage suit in
dustry was being worked too Industrious
ly, Some people We're almost willing to
bring suit for humping their shins and
often when the injury was due to their
own neglect.

PEOPLE We're surprised when they
learned that Archbishop Katzer of Mil
waukee had taken the same position that
Cardinal Gibbon and Archbishop Ireland
had with reference to the popes letter on
Americanism in the Catholic church.
These two distinguished prelates protest
against the pope's structures on the
"Americanism' of the Catholic church
and it was reported Archbishop Katzer
also did But he justifes the reputation
he has earned and says he did not pro
test and that he highly approves the posi-
ton taken by the pope That might
have been taken for granted without at
testation by the Archbishop.

THE FARM.

A reaction has set in against the tend
ency toward quitting the farm, This is
specially noticeable in Minnesota, but
signs are not lacking in other states of
this desirable change. The agricultural
colleges have dene much toward dignity
ing the business of farming. They are re-
ieving it of the feature of drudgery by inn
parting intelligence III the conduct of its
affairs, Young people are not attracted
rs much by the money-making possibil-
ity of a calling as by the responsibility
attaching to it, They are forgetful of
the fact that character can dignity labor
no matter what its nature, and that in
telligence has opportunity for exercise in
any department of industrial activity.
The trouble with farming has been
that the doctrine of manual labor has
oyershadowed the opportunities for in
tellectual activity But the latter are
developing and agricultural pursuits are
growing in dignity. The poetry in rural
life is an asset of rare value The eSth-
etc feature of farm life has been lost in
the prosaic round of mechanical duty
But things are changing under the guild
ance of intelligent action and young
farmers are beginning To learn that love
hghtens labor Thought robs labor of
its servile feature and invests il with the
beauty of sentiment The fields Of gold
en- grain yield not less profit because they
give pleasure to the eye as well as
appeal to the sense of gain,
There is no small investment which
pays better than the farm The money
invested in a farm yields more if indus
try accompanies than when put to any
other use. The chance Of great wealth
is not involved but neither is the proba
bility of failure A little labor will make
surroundings pleasant and give all tn,
comforts of city life amid the beauties o
the country. A farmer worth S15, 900 i
man Of distinction A resident of tn,
city worth that sum is not regarded a
beint comfortably well off The aver
age young man who deserts the farm
shows as much good sense as the DO,
who is captivated by the glamour of tn
circus The farm is what its owne
makes it. If it is solely a workshop i
has only material value I'D appeals onl.
to the sense Of acquisition But it nee,
not be such.
