Communicated.

dent, Mrs. Maria Parham, and Mrs.

the Children's Chapter. Mrs. Parker,
as chairman of the Committee for
the North Carolina room in the Con-
federate Museum in Richmond, will
receive the portraits of Governor
Vance and Colonel Fisher, sfor that
room. Mrs. Parker has had this
work for two years and it was her
suggestion that the Daughters of the
Confederacy have the portrait of
Governor Vance painted for the North
Carolina room. She has raised over
5000 among the State Chapters for
this purpose. The portrait is the
work of MIR. Jacques Busbee. of Raj
eigh, and Governor Jarvis is to pre-
sent it. Mrs. Overman, State Presi-
dent U. ID. G.. writes that she expects
Mrs. Parker to be present to receive
this portrait for the committee. This

Dealing With Anarchists.
Communicated

communicated.
With the funeral rites at Canton last
Thursday the bloody tragedy closed. and
the life OF President Mckinley passed into
history.
The patriotic assurance of the new
President that the same benign policy of
his predecessor will be continued has
created confidence in business circles. and
all things will move peacefully on as be-
fore. But what of the wretch that has
wrought such havoc, destroyed forever
the happiness OF an innocent family, and
eonvulsed the entire nation by his bloody
deed? In a few weeks more he will pav
the penalty of his crime and enter into the
great beyond, and, so far as he is con-
cerned, the curtain falls forever. 1t is
not him legislators will have to deal
| with, but those of his ilk left behind to
propagate his neiarious doctrines. The
lives OF our public men must be protected
As mild measures have failed harsh ones
| must be the resort. The most stringent
laws must be enacted to obliterate every
| vestige OF such foul doctrines Go down
to the very roots and tear them to pieces
| and IL any man or woman dares by
| speech or lecture or through the press tC
| promufgate such incendiary doctrines
enact such laws as will confiscate wha,
| property they possess and sentence then
| to hard labor for life.

President Bryan will probably be re-

Washington, Sept. 22.- President
Roosevelt, in conversation yesterday
at the White House with several
Southern Senators and Representa-
tives who called to assure him of the
South's support for his Administra-
ton. emphatically declared that he
was going to be President OF the
whole United States, and not of any
section.

tional lines" he said to Senator Prit-
chard, who informed him that the
South would support him most heart

York | was told that | could make
four appointments in the army. When
sent in the names there were three
from the South and one from New

The Crime of the Cartoon.


From the Philadelphia Press.
There is place for the cartoon in the public
prints There is a humor aud a wit that by tho
grace Of good nature can accomplish much in
the depletion, through carCature, Of the foiblcs
and follics of those in public life, good cause,
as was true IN the memorable case Of Mast W,
Tweed, is never better served than by tho point
ed cartoon that breaches sermon or conveys a
public lesson in few strokes OF the pencil hut
there is a point beyond which the honorable,
sclf.rcSpecting cartooniSt cannot, will not, 60,
and this point is the deliberate daily prCscnta
tion of men in public life as the Wlcst Of the
vilc through deliberate ialsiication Of their
known private character and public acts, in a
way that sets them out as low, degraded and
without character or conscience. And this is tho
crime Of the Davenport and oppcr cartoons. that
they did do this in season aud out Of season,
with an almost insane iteration, save that there
was a hircling's 'method in the madness"
