the st. P aul Globe. denies that he had
done so, and further says that he has
not thought of it, nor had it under
consideration, nor consulted with
either Lind or Rosing about it. The
rumor seems to have been occasioned
by the retirement of the present bust

take place Sept. LIST, and which led to

The Salt Lake Tribune which sup
ported Bryan in 1896, has had its eyes
gradually opened to the error of its
ways and while it did not support him
last year, it is only now fully realizing
the full force of his preachings of dis
content which he scattered broadside
up and down the country last year. 1t
says:
Our belief is that William ]. Bryan
is more responsible for the situation
than any other man. Read the
speeches he made in the 1900 cam
paign and it will be seen that their one
appeal all through was to the baser in
stincts of men. He struggled to break
the faith of the people in the govern
ment over them ; in the higher courts
of the republic; to array the poor
against the rich, class against class,
and race against race, and to convince
the workingmen that no matter what
wages they received. their employers
had no purpose but to finally rob and
enslave them. His words bore no fruit
in 1900; they are bearing fruit in 1901.

The Vicksburg, Miss, American

The Vicksburg, Miss, American
deplores the tendency toward lynch
ing through the south and suggests
that the whipping post be substituted
therefor, and evil disposed negroes
given frequent introductions to the
lash. While a relic of barbarity, the
last would no doubt be far preferable
to the indiscriminate methods of Judge
Lynch, and the moral effect upon the
people would be far better. But whe n
you come right down to the facts in
the case, there is not the first excuse
for the lynching of a negro in the
south. The entire machinery of the
law is in the hands of the whites.
If the negro accused of revolving
crime is guilty his punishment at the
hands of the law is certain AMI the
heaviest penalty allowed sure to be-
dealt out. That the moral effect upon
the community would be far great er
cannot be questioned. The Ameri can
admits that the frequent lynchings in
no way deter the negro in committing
crimes which provoke summary JUS
tice. Then why not allow the law to
take it's course. No lynching that takes
place in the south can ever have for its
excuse that there was a chance the
accused would not be properly pun
ished at the hands of the law if guilty.

the testimony experts in such a case

The MinnoonoI;, Journal in sneakinp

The Minneapolis Journal in speaking
OF some features of the great steel
strike, most truly says: Because
Charles M. Schwab, manager of the
steel trust, who was once a common
workman in the mills, himself, says
that if he were a workman again he
would not belong to the union it does
not follow that there should be no labor
unions 1t is doubtless.good policy for
Mr.. Schwab and men like him in the
ranks of labor to stay out of the union
if they can. Their superior natural
abilities would not give them that
rapid promotion they are entitled to if
they were labeled with the uniformity
of union conditions. Employers choose
for promotion men who are legal to
their interests; generally speaking "a
union mans loyalty is to the union
first. But all men are not Schwabs
the great mass of men are of about the
same average ability they cannot all
be trust managers or even shop fore
men. Being individually weaker they
would not find strength in union
that is human nature 1t is altogether
aside from the point of this discussion
that unions are often tyrannicaL
greedy, unjust and unwise. -

of the North Carolina Circuit of Fairs,
of which circuit the Winston Fair is a
member, special and quite satisfactory ar
engagements have been made with a large
number of splendid attractions which will
make the midway the best ever seen in
North Carolina. This same organization
will be the means of bringing into the
State large number of fine race horses.
About twenty blooded animals are being
trained at Piedmont Park now. One of
the most interesting features of the Fair
will be the great free show that will
take place every day in front of the grand
stand, and which will last about two
hours.

WHAT DID SHOOK SAY?

The all-absorbing question in North
Carolina in Republican circles is What
did j. Wiley Shook say about Mr.. Roose-
welt when the President volun-
teered to fight the Spaniards
So absorbed are the revenue gaugers
and doodles in trying to learn
exactly what j. Wiley did say that they
have quit for the time trying to find out
whether an applicant for revenue "dood-
ler," who has been convicted of perjury
stands a better chance of appointment
than the applicant who hasn't been
caught. Jones. of Allegheny, tried two
whole. years to get an appointment to
guage brandy, after his promise to vote
for Pritchard if necessary, but couldn't
get the job until he was convicted OF
perjury by a Wilkes county jury. AS
soon as he was convicted he got the job.
Bue--tc return to Shook who got bis
Job. not because he committed perjury,
but because he threatened to write an
open letter to Mckinley every week un-
less he was put on the pay roll. That
was almost as effective a way to get an
office quickly as to be convicted OF per-
jury and it is more respectable if less
annoying. When Mr.. Roosevelt succeed
cd to the Presidency the Newton Enter
prise recalled that about the time Lieu
tenant Colonel Roosevelt went to Cuba,
j. Wiley Shook said he hoped he would
get his head shot off because he was
such a "darned fool about civil service,
or words to that effect. The press. gen.
orally copied the Enterprises article,
for ]. Wiley is gay and festive cuss,
highly esteemed by the newspaper craft,
particularly since he got his job by the
pen, or rather since he was given an
office if he would quit writing open let
tiers to the President.
j. Wiley denied having made the state
ment published by the Newton Enter
prise, whereupon that paper comes back
naming the month, the year and the
place where j. Wiley expressed the muir
derous wish The Enterprise, whose edi-
tor is an ex-revenue officer, says:
''Mr j. Wiley Shook writes the States
Vile Landmark that the language attrib-
uted to him about Teddy Roosevelt at
the beginning of the Spanish ewar was
manufactured by the Newton Enterprise.
We are surprised at this. Mr.. Shook was
entertaining quite a number of revenue
officers and ex-revenue officers at the
April, 1898, term of Statesville Federal
court on the war, and used substantially
the language we printed last week. We
are sure we are not mistaken, and we
know we had no motive for manufactur-
ing it. We will be charitable enough to
say that perhaps man who talks as
much as Mr.. Shook, forgets sometimes
what he says. We are also willing to
grant that he has right to change his
opinion of Mr.. Roosevelt and civil SER
vice, if he so desires"
1t is now up to ]. Wiley. AS an old
friend we say to him, in the language of
Mr. Weller; prove a h'alibi, j. Wiley,
prove a h'alibi."
