President Roosevelt is unfortunate.
He "a slipped up grievouslY in two or
three opportunities in the north. The
appointment Of Henry D. Saylor, of
Pennsylvania, provokes censure. He
was appointed consul to Dawson City
a post that pays well. He is fast hench-
man of the corrupt Quay, and that is
enough to render him obnoxious to crit
icism and complaint. There is not the
first time he has sought public appoint
ruent. In 1897. he aspired to be consul
at Matanzas and he got it. Quay got
both for him.. Papers IN the north de-
nounce the selection. One paper says
Savior lis one Of the gang Of republican
politicians which have reduced Pennsvl-
wants to the low level that New Jersey
was reduced in Horace Greeley's day,
when he said she ought to be expelled
from h union. Among other things
b a figure in his bad record is the fact
that a few years CO., as chairman OF
h committee of the legislature to in
vestigate the condition of the coal min
ers in Pennsylvania. he presented a bill
tor the expenses Of the committee
amounting to s11. LAS. which was de-
uounced by the Pennsylvania papers as
dishonest and vetoed by Governor Hast
ings. THE president also owes a duty
to the American people," Says The New
York Evening Post. Ito put the stamp
Of indignant disappreval on the gang
Of 'rippers' and dwindlers who have
lad PENNSYLVANIA the moral pest

We read with no little interest a fine
poem by Professor Henry Jerome Stock
ard. of Peace Institute. Raleigh, in the
charlotte Observer on The Eagle II
lis a striking production. the best we
have seen from him since we read his
sonnets in the Atlantic Monthly. Its
theme and the treatment reveal a GER
tain paternity-Tennyson's six-line
poem on the same subject. the best
lroem of it's length we ever read. We
lsimply mean that if Tennyson had not
written on The EaeIe" neither would
our true North Carolina poet-one sug-
Igested the other. And yet Mr.. Stock
Iard's poem is no tame imitation but
Gull Of original fire Of its own The
Observer writes of It in high admira-
titn and impressive ~phraseology. The
.otice is finely wrought. Lei us repro
ltuce the poem as a Christmas offering
Of North Carolina verse to our readers;

Where Shasta shapes its mighty cone,
Where Mitchell heaves into the skies,

were Is members present.
The furnishing and naming of a
rom in the new dormitory at the Sol

auce. An entertainment for raising
funds was suggested but this was found
unnecessary since the Daughters do
mated so literally. The room viii b.

have stirred up the strife and disgraced

Even General Kitchener's report
makes it appear hard for the British in
their several recent engagements. The
Beers are still on the wal path and are
fighting with their forage, dash and
even desperation. The Beers are deter
mined to fight On and there is no pros
pect of a surrender or a cessation OF the
war. A dispatch from Volksrust. via
London is to the effect that that the
Beers are determined to continue the
war and that their recent conferences
AVE been with the object of planning
a summer campaign. A dispatch to
