SEPARATE CAR'S-MR. PEAR
SONS GOOD RECORD.

The separate car bill has passed the
House, and there is no doubt that in
its present, or some shape equally as
good, it will 60 through the Senate.
In this connection we may call atten-
ton to an inadvertent failure on the part
of Mr.. Justice, of Mcdowell. to do jus
tice to Mr.. Pearson, member of the
Railroad Commission. Mr.. Justice as
serted-and asserted truly-that if the
Railroad Commission had come up to the
full measure of its duty, there would be
no necessity of legislative action. Then
Mr. Justice denounced the Commission
in severe terms, none too severe, how
ever, for the Republican and Populist
members. He ought, however, to have
said that Mr.. Pearson, the Democratic
member, had sought to secure separate
cars for the races but had been foiled in
his attempt by Caldwell and Abbott.

DEATH OF REV. BENNETT
SMEDES.

Raleigh and the State mourn the death
of Rev. Bennett Smedes, ID. D., who
died yesterday morning He has been
connected with st. Marys School for
thirty-seven years, and no man has lived
in the State who deserves larger
measure of gratitude for his generous
assistance in the education of young
women. Nobody knew while he lived
the measure of his generosity, and now
it is known only through the tears of
the beneficiaries.
DIR. Smedes was not only a pure
hearted Christian gentleman and con
scientious educator, but was n
broad minded, public-sprited citizen as
well. He was the ideal man to be in
charge of the education of young women.
He stood always in the relation of IA
thoughtful guardian and by his solici-
tude and kindness won the lasting af-
lection and esteem of the army of cul-
tivated and refined women in a dozen
States who will feel his death as per-
sonal bereavement.

THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED.
Springfield Republican

THE PRESIDENT ANSWERED.
Springfield Republican.
Evidently the President had in mind
those Democratic Congressman who
were so warm for a war year age,
and Republicans like Senator Mason
when he said at Boston: MANY who
were impatient for the conflict a year
ago, apparently needless of its large;
results, are the first to cry against the
far-reaching consequences of their own
act. But can the grabbing of the
Philippines fairly be called conse-
quence of the war? Does not the Presi-
dent beg the question here? The reply
of the Columbia Is. CO State seems
to be effective:
''They cry out now against the far
reaching consequences of their own act
not the necessary, but the unnecessary
consequences. They do not cry out
against the liberation and rehabilitation
of Cuba:- they do not even cry out
against the annexation of Porto Rico,
because that has been accomplished with
the consent of its people-but they do
cry out against the buying of bogus
title to the Philippines from Spain and
the assertion of that title by the slaugh-
ter of the Filipinos. They deem it hate
full that war begun for humanity and
liberty should end in the slaughter and
conquest of people who had already
earned their independence. In SEN
tence, they favored the war because they
loved liberty and We're humane, and they
cry out. against one unnecessary conse-
quence of it for precisely the same rea-
sons"
Certainly their attitude has been quite
as commendable as that of the Pres-
dents two particular friends and coun-
selors. Senator Hanna of Ohio, and
Senator Elkins of West Virginia, who
bitterly opposed the war Of humanity.
but who now warmly support war
of conquest and land and market grab
bling.

henceforth be master in this State and

whether better than their present home

Mr.. Rountree was unquestionably the
leader in this most important amend
ment. 1t is conceded that he has ex-
hihited much ability. great enthusiasm
and DEVOTION and genuine State pride
III his efforts TO secure its passage. His
speech upon the passage Of the amend
ment was evidently clear-cut and able.
Mr.. Winston was earnest. pointed and
eloquent in his advocacy of it. The
Messenger rejoices in it's adoption by
the House and trusts it will prove an
unmixed blessing. "All's well that ends
We'll" MIR. Rountree said the amend
ment was constitutional, which is high

ing before the House Judiciary Commit
tee of the Stevens antitrust bill, the inn
preston was made on some readers
that Mr.. Moses Cone threatened to leave
the State if the bill was passed. Upon
this basis, Mr.. Cone has been subjected
to unjust criticism. He was present at
the hearing, and being asked If the bill
passed whether it would affect his bush
ness said that it might, but If it did he
could move his office from Greensboro
to New York. Mr.. Cone says that he
meant this in no sense as has been con-
strued, and in this he is sustained by
several members of the committee. 1t
gives us pleasure to make this statement,
for Mr.. Cone is a gentleman who has
invested largely in the State and his
progressive spirit is appreciated. We
want all the citizens who have money
and brains and muscle, or either, to come
among us, and Mr.. Cone has shown him
self Il leader in industrial movements
that meant the development of the
States resources.

should be adopted at this session of the

Mecklenburg in the campaign and we
want none in the future. The passage
Of dispensary bill would violate the

The horses reared plunged, struggled to get free and, fn- ally, breaking loose, started in the widest gallops from this bedlam. But toward whatever corner of the field they fed they were stopped by noises just as terrifying and sent to snother quarter to be frightened again and , again.
