1t is astonishing how newspaper men
failed to grasp what was said by The
Messenger. The Charlotte Observer
pronounced DR.. Walter H. Page the
greatest man born in North Carolina in
a half century. Without controverting
it, The Messenger briefly discussed five
others, all of whom were under so years
of age. Colonel Carr is more than so.
and he and others over that age could
not be included in the discussion.
Although not numbered with DR..
Kingsbury's list of eminent North Car
ilinians, General Julian S. Carr, Of Dur
ham, stands out today, taking every
thing into consideration, the most
prominent man within our borders

Senator Lodge, appropriating $11,0OO,O 900
for a Pacific cable-a mere incident of
Imperialism. And, apparently alarmed
by slight decrease in the number of
prisoners thirty-four years after the
close of the war, Senator Cullum has
introduced bill for removing the
disabilities of soldiers who received a
dishonorable discharge or who diserted!
He says, 'the time has arrived when
the government can be magnanimous
and forgive any little indiscretion O.
Of the soldiers of the civil war" The
frauds in the pension roll already make
it anything but what it should be
a roll of honor-but when we begin
pensioning diserters equally with
faithful soldiers what will it deserve to
be called?
A fictitious anticipated surplus due to
perpetuated war taxes and a sudden
wave of prosperity has contributed to
open the floodgates of extravaganza in
congress, and no effort is apparently to
be made to shut them.

The love affairs Of Joseph Bethine, his

A WELCOME MESSAGE.
columbus, O., Press Post.)

(COlumDuS, u, PreSS POSt.D
The country gratefully welcomes
President McKinley's message, but not
in the sense intended by the executive
The people are glad to obtain the slight
est reliable information as to where the
president stands in respect to many i'm
portant public questions and are in
debted to this message for some enlight-
eminent in this regard. Mr.. Mckinley S
foothold on all the vital issues of poll
tics since 1892 has been so slippery that
no person could predict where he would
be standing at any time in the near fu-
ture. Now, however he has slid all the
way from free silver coinage to the sim
gle gold standard, so that at last the
people know where he is at" The
man who denounced President Cleve-
land in 1892 for discriminating against
silver; the man who accepted pres
idential nomination on a platform fav-
oring international bimetallism; the
man who shifted and equivocated on
the money question in countless front
porch speeches during the campaign of
1S96-this man is at last found openly
where he was long suspected to have
been standing. We repeat, therefore,
that the message, since IL reveals this
fact, is a welcome document to the
country.
The president is almost but not quite
as frank in respect to Imperialism.
He claims sovereignty over the Philip
pines and does not indicate that they
may have any other destiny than that
of the states of the union. Therefore,
he is an imperialist-until 1t suits him to
be something else. Having precipitated
the difficulties we are now in by ig-
noring and defying congress and the
people, he calmly suggests that 1t is
quite the proper thing for congress to
help him and the country out of the
mud. This is characteristic Of the man
and entirely McKinleyesque.
The president writes brief essay
on trusts, replete with glittering gener-
alities, but containing not one word in
any degree worthy of a statesman or in
any wise promising any reform under
his own or any other administration.
In regard to Cuba he suggests that the
American pledge of independence to the
inhabitants of the island must be kept,
but shows no disposition to keep 1t on
his part and offers no apology for hav-
ing flagrantly violated it up to thisNtime.

compact with the Sultan Of Sulu, in

Both courts are busy in the trial of
cases today. Judge McCarty took up
the suit of Harry Barlet VS. Seymour
Barlet. The action is on promissory
note for 1910. Joe Blake represents the
plaintiff and Monnot & Hughes the de-
fendant The case is being tried to a
jury.
In Judge Taylors court the suit of
Theora Albert VS. James H. Robertson
as administrator of Columbus T. Wal
ker is still on trial. This case opened
Monday to a jury. The plaintiff was
housekeeper for old DR.. Walker. She
claims $1,000 for services rendered in
caring for him. She introduced letter
in evidence in which G. T. Walker is
alleged to have certified the fact that a
contract existed between them by which
she was to get $4,000. McCarty and Up
ham represent the plaintiff.
Tuesday the attorneys for the de-
fense, Lynch and Day and j. A. Rice,
sprung their defense. They claim the
part of the letter alluding to the con-
tract is a forgery and c. M. Vorce, of
Cleveland, an expert on hand writing,
was put on the stand. He said the part
which is vital, was not the writing of
c.. T. Walker.
The defendant has filed a cross petit
tion and when the jury got through
with the case the plaintiff found that
he had not only failed to get his 1910,
but that the jury said that he must pay
the defendant $339.73 besides.
