col. IA RRfs' MAN or STRAW.
Col. J. e.. l.. Harris, In . recent
oren letter Published In nearly all
th.. daiiies Of the State, vigorously
a. ticks Senator Pritchard and the
manas ement Of the Republican par
ty Ia this State. He charges that
Senator Pritchard and the Republi-
can organization do not desire 10
build up . strong party In opposition
to the Democratic party. but desire
simply TO keep . small close corpora-
ton, which amounts TO conspiracy
against the success Of any opposition
party In the State, and the their
only purpose or desire Ii to divide
the Federal Offices among themselves
He charges that the party Is being
run by Federal ofaceholders who
have no higher or further aim than
to continue to mold their jobs, and
that they do not wish the party to
grow for fear that more brains or
character will get into 1t In which
event they might be supplanted.
If Col. Harris Ia right In his
charges, then Senator Pritchard and
his management of the party would
deserve the condemnation Of the
whole rank and fle Of the party
who have other objects and aims
once holding. Indeed, If Col
Harris is right, then Senator Pritch.
ard and his organization would
lclearly be engaged in a conspiracy
with Mr.. Simmons and his redshirt
ballot-box stuRing machine to keel
the State permanently in the hands
Of the redshirts and ballOt-box stuff
fers.
We are cOnstrained to believe thai
the state Of Affairs described by Col
Harris Is true in some Southern
States, and the quicker Presiden
Roosevelt can become aware of tn,
fact the better 1t will be, not only
for him and his party, but, abov'
and beyond that, for such Southern
States. But we feel satisfied tina
Col. Harris is mistaken about tn,
position Of Senator Pritchard ant
the Republican organization il
North Carolina. It seems to us tina
Col. Harris has simply put up
man of straw to knock down. A
we see the situation, it is the great
est desire Of Senator Pritchard ant
his associates to do just what Col
Harris charges they are opposed t.
doing.
We have no interest in the per
sonal quarrel between these parties
no matter what are it's objects O.
whatever may be the Interior pur
pose, but we are frank to say tina
for the good Of the State we are in
terested in the situation to this ex
tent that we would not like to see
state of affairs inaugurated here sucl
as Col. Harris charges. But W.
hope and believe he Is entirely mis-
taken; indeed, we feel we are al
most warranted In saying that W.
: know he Is mistaken.

THE PREsIDENT's UNACCOUST-
ABLE BLUNDkR.

ABLE BLUNDKR.
The Associated Press dispatched
announce that few evenings ag"'
President Roosevelt had Booker ]
the negro educator OF
Alabama, to dine with him 1t the
White House. At frst We could
not believe that this was true, but
since It has been often repeated and
no denisls made, we must accept 1t.
We put 1t mildly whom we Ay
that we are more than surprised at
this information. 1t Is one thing
to guarantee to the negro his civil
rights under the Consultation and
laws, but social equality Of any kind
or description Is an entirely different
matter.
We are also astOnished to sec that
the Raleigh News Observer In COM
menting upon this incident, while
disa pproving Of the action Of the
President, states that 1t Is simply .
matter Of private taste In the man.
agement Of q mans own domestic
affairs with which the public has
nothing to do. The News and OBJ
server Is entirely mistaken. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is no longer private
citizen; he Is the Chief Executive of
the Nation and he Is living in the
nations executive mansion. There
fore, the public have concern about
even his private and domestic at
fairs, and any action Of his like
stepping over the color line to in
vite = negro to his private table has
inevitably the stamp Of Official ap.
prevail. If President Roosevelt
were . private citizen the comment
of the News and Observer would
have been entirely proper.
The fact L. President Roosevelt
has made q most serious and egreg
ious blunder and one for which ht
cannot be defended or excused ever
by his warmest personal and pOlit
ical friends. We deplore his &C
ton, first and above all, because o.
the bad effect 1t will have upon The
social and political and, therefore
necessarily upon the industrial con
ditions Of the whole country. We
have here two races that must CON
tinue to live together on some kind
Of terms that respect the civic
rights Of every citizen no matter
what his color, but between which
there is an impossible social barrier
Everything that even squints 81
breaking down this social barrier
Will arouse the worst kind of feel
ing and blood, will cause race fric
ton, and, we fear, make unseer
troubles In addition.
i Aside from this phase of the mat
ter, however, the President hal
made most serious political blund
or for himself and his party. Hi
action will be siezed upon by tha'
class of Democratic politicians in tn,
|, South whose chief desire is so e,
into Office by appealing to race pre-
'judice, as an object lesson. and Il
will be q sweet morsel to roll urdel
their tongues. In the next campaign
they will be sure to use this unfor
tunate and deplorable incident ~ ,
party slogan and . party lash Il
whip men into tho ranks under theil
} leadership regardless of their polit
ical convictions on great economic
, questions. The effect Of it will be
not only to help the Democratic
party keep In power in every South
ern State on the negro issue, but t,
, keep the worst element Of the Dem
Ocrstic party In the ascendancy.

SAYINGS OF Ii HUNG CHANG.
Trustworthy Anecdotes of China's
Great Statesman and Soldier.
New York SIM !

The following anecdotes of Ii Hung
Chang are partly from interviews with
Dr. Louis livingston Seaman, one of the
few Americans who ever enjoyed the con-
fidence Of The Chinese statesman, and
partly from other trustworthy sources.
During General Chaffee's command IN
Pekin Isr. Seaman was LIS American
physician. being associated VITA his ma
tive physician, DR.. Mark.
The palace in Pekin occupied by IL
was an old Buddhist temple, situated in
the inneTmOst- of three compounds fitted
together like a jUggler's boxes. The
outer wall inclOsed a whole city block.
A Chinese temple Of this sort is kind
Of monastery inhabited by q colony Of
ministeTing priests. Sometimes with the
march Of progress the temple becomes
poverty-stricken. and in that case the
priests are only too glad to have their
temple taken possession of by great
Mandarin who is able to feed and clothe
the colony and keep up the magnihcence
Of the ancient building That was the
state of affairs with Lis temple
Architecture having long ago reached
the perfection of its type in China, the
entrance to LIS compound was the stere-
Otyped Chinese opening in the outer wall
beyond which the view from outside was
shut of by a carved screen, around
which YOU D. sed 10 the right or left.
Once within the f enclosure you found
Yourself in thu of an array of do
nestle amin 81 Ia as ponies, goats,
dOukeys and heir chattering attendants
lounging about the stables.
Within the second compound you came
upon chickens and geese and other do
nestle fowls, and always dirt On en-
tering the enclosure of the temple itself
YOU were welcomed by the Cawing of
thousands of crows Tapping about the
old trees and red-tiled roofs
The rooms OF the palace were superb.
Usually they had red lacqUered walls
and great carved beams Ornamented with
dragons in gold and silver under cell
ings of greens and blues.

Here II kept oatriarchal state with 100
soldiers and eighty priests in his retinue,

would sit alie day on the palace steps
