How Raleigh Came Yesterday to Have
Fine Spring Day

The advertisement for Spring IN the
News and Observer yesterday brought
good results, as advertisements IN the
News and Observer always do.

sounds. Windows were raised to admit
her and oyercoats We're discarded III her
presence. She had horf.d tales Of woe
to tell of tie bad treatment She had re-
Gently received from old Winter.
But her heart, like that of other
young people, soon turned to brighter
things and in her smile the badge of
snowy winter melted away and disap-
peared.
To be sure it was not the full realiza-
ton of the ideal spring yesterday

the future gives promise of a speedy
coming of brighter days.

& DURHAM BOYS Alright
Capt. Cowles Gives Them Deserved
Commentator.


Writing of the Durham military com
pany and its Durham officers, Capt.
A. ID. Cowles pays them this high and
deserved compliment in a letter to the
Statesville Landmark:
Il only wish / were as good an offlcer
as | know Christian or Sergeants Hark-
ney and Giddins to be. No better ma
terial lives from which to make officers
and soldiers than Company /, of Dur
ham. and in my heart 1 am proud OF
the honor of being associated with such
a hand OF soldiers and gentlemen.
This is pleasantly and gracefully SAID
Capt. Cowles is pleasant gentleman
who has won the regard Of the durham
company. This does not alter the TACT
that Il Durham man ought to have been
promoted to the captaincy Of the com
pany. but goes to prove IT. The appoint
mont of Capt Cowles was piece of pol
itical favoritism that did injustice to the
Durham volunteers just as the appoint
ment Of o. H. Dockery, jr., did lnjus-
tice to the Raleigh company
Russell is the man who deserves the
criticism for the wrong done these
companies.

large negro colored population may con-
tinue 10 deter the hundreds of thous-
ands of foreign laborers coming in like
a flood upon us. But in all our sea-
Lort towns they are rapidly increasing,
and will yet surely form a large per-
centage of the population III all our
American cities-North, South, East
and West. This foreign element in our
cities is distinctively peculiar to Ameri-
can cities. London is the worlds me
tropolis, and therein you may find rep
resentatives Of almost every race, and
yet out of every 100 inhabitants, it has
been found that CD were natives of Lon
don, 81 OF England and Wales, and 9S
of Great Britain and Ireland. All for
eign countries Put together gave but a
little over per cent of London's popuia-
tion. Contrast this with the foreign
clement Of our cities. The tenth census
showed that of our 30 principal cities
more than 20 per cent were foreign
born, while those who were foreign by
birth or parentage often constituted
three-fourths or four-ffths OF the popu-
lation, and hundreds OF thousands OF
these remain foreigners; and we have
little Italy, and little Germany, and little
their distinct languages, religions and
customs all being reproduced upon
American soil.
He who solves the problem of the
city will prove benefaetor, for not

their own benighted and hopeless lot.
SALOONS AND THE CITY.
That the city is the centre of crime
! and the home of the criminal classes is
not surprising when we consider that
the curse of the City is the liquor traffic.
The liquor power controls our poll
tics; defies our laws; puts UP and puts
down our municipal officers. 1t is never
asleep, bands together its forces when
ever necessary; dominates legislation and
laughs at it's opponents.
It's evils are gigantic and threaten the
existence of all we hold dear. / sup
pose there is hardly home in a city
but upon which directly or indirectly lis
| shadow has fallen There is not a bust
ness enterprise but what has been injur-
ed by lit, not a church but has suffered
from it, while it lis responsible for the
greater part of a clty's crime and pauper-
ism" Il
CAN THE CITY BE SAVED.
One thing is evident: Either we must
save the cities or the cities will destroy
us. If cities are saved nations are saved
if nations are saved this poor struggling
tempted, Borrowing, SHINING world will be
saved. The city is the key to the sit
uation. The point has been well made
that the city determines the type as well
as gives the name to civilization. To
the city the people will continue to gray.
tate AS time ROLLS by the city will move
and more dominate the country; the
steamships will continue to discharge
their cargo of humanity at the gates
of the city; the railroads Will bring the
multltudes to the cities; the banks of
the cities will control the worlds fipan-
cles. Nothing slrer than that tn
critics by their commercial life and by
their great newspapers, by their political
| ascendancy and by their increasing pop
| ulation will hold the strength and the
weakness, yea the life and death of a
nation. Here then, plan the MOST careful
~. Here display your strategy Here bring
your ablest generals. Here the battle lis
waging the hottest. If the cities are lost
all is lost. May God help us to save the
cities!
