ing Convention Notes.

The Fight on Judge Clark.


To the Editor:-It is rule of the
game of politics to hoodwink the peo-
pie. Politics is the passion of the many
for the gain of the few. The few who
gain the prizes in this game arouse the
passions of the masses by adroit appeals
to noble emotions. Such appeals are
mere pretexts sure enough, but-that is
the game.
Special privileges to the few are urged
as benefits to the masses. The general
welfare is pretext for protective tariffs.
National honor and public faith are said
to depend upon the gold standard and
bond issues. A war of determination is
waged on the pretense of benevolent as
similation. The late Commissioner of
Pensions enforces the law; interested at
torneys and pensioners on the govern
ments bounty, raise clamor: they want
a commissioner with an elastic con-
science, which Mr.. Evans does not pos
sess. But the president seeks a nomi-
nation; the G. A. r. must be placated,
and so Evans is removed-for the good
of the service
Let me say by way of prophesy that
interested individuals are going to urge
before the Democratic convention at
Greensboro that the welfare of the Dem
ceratic party demands the defeat of Judge
Walter Clark for the nomination to the
Chief Justiceship. The good of the party
is another serviceable and much used
preteXt, and from now on until the con-
vention has made this nomination it will
be made to flow like summer molasscs,
then the bung-bol will be closed against
another campaign.
The charges against Judge Clark are
q mere pretext. If he is morally unfit
to be Chief Justice, he is morally unfit 20
be Associate, and he has been Associate
Justice for long time. Would any man
with a high regard for the purity Of the
bench, the good of his party ana the well
fare of the State, who had indsputable
proof that Judge Clark is morally unfit
to be Judge, allow him to sit undisturbeI
on the bench year after year? Why wait
until Just before the convention to make
the charges, and then why keep back
the evidence?
Mr. Editor, there is a species of III
gotten gains aptly described as "hush
money, eytorted by threats of exposure, =
and there is an ,offensc against the law in
many States which consists in forcing a
man by threats of exposure to part with
something of value or to do or refrain
from doing a thing. Such an offense is
regarded by all honest men with abhor-
ence: il derives it's name from its moral
blacl1ness To threaten to defeat party
candidate and the candidate with expo
sure, if the party does nominate him,
Genes very near the line of blackmail.

AN INJUSTICE TO THE UNIVERSITY.
Full Statement of Facts An Appeal Made to
the Executive Committee
Especial to News and Observer


Chapel Hill. NJ c., May THE telc-
gram from Atlanta in your paper for
May 9Th announcing the suspension of
the University baseball team on account
of playing two men from Augusta is
quite inaccurate and demands correction.
The only basis for it is given by the fol-
lowing facts: Mr.. j. n. Sweeny, of Will
mington, was declared ineligible by the
Executive Committee of the Southern
Inter collegiate Athletic Association.
He was Immediately withdrawn from the
team in all contests with teams in that
association. He played in the games
against Virginia after a full statement
of his standing and submission to the
authorities of that institution of the cor
respondence bearing upon his case, they
pronouncing him satisfactory to them.
This was pronounced by the president
of the Southern Association a breach of
one of their rules An appeal has been
made from this decision to the Execu-
tive Committee. Pending their decision
all games with teams in the far South
were cancelled. No question has been
raised as to the standing of any other
member of the team, nor is there ground
for such question.
