And now that the convention has pre-
sented a splendid ticket to the people
for Walter Clark, Henry Groves Con
nor, Platt D.. Walker, E. G. Beddingfield
and J. Y. Joyner are of the best types of
lnen-it is left to the voters to do the
rest. No better men could be named
and the whole State can we'll rejoice in
their coming election, for it is sure, and
onva PLATFORM, which is an ideal one
clear cut and vigorous.
Splendid men, truly representative
North Carolinians were placed in nomi-
nation for every position filled. Had Sc
lections been made from the others named
the ticket would still have been a great
one, for it was all heart timber that was
presented to the convention.

naught. He thinks people near MIN, put
the man at his elbow can't even do this,
and the howl of delight with which the
mass in front of him halls his exit is
worth crossing two states to hear. 1t is
as rich an exhibition as a three ring
circus.
Some men won attention even when
the convention was most hilarious.
notable case was that Of r. \. Hackett,
of Wilkes, who made the most able
plea for primaries ever heard at a con-
~vention. In the early hours it was pos
sible to win a hearing and among the
speakers who made effective addresses
were Claude Kitchin in nominating Judge
Clark, Victor Bryant who spoke for
Judge Connor. Theo. F. KluttZ in naming
Charles H. Armfield and w. ". Kitchin
in speaking for the majority platform
report. Perhaps the most eloquent
speeches were those of Hon. Charles M.
Stedman in welcoming the convention and
Claude kitchin eulogy on Judge Clark.
Mr.. A. NJ. Scales made a splendid speecr
on taking the chair as the temporary
presiding officer and senator Simmons
address was most vigorous and eloquent.
Not even the contest for the nominal
tions caused the excitement that came
with the platform resolutions The
firebrand was whether to re-affirm the
National platform Of the Democratic
party or to simply reaffirm allegiance
to the fundamental principles of Democ-
racy, the latter being a minority report
from two members. The gage of battle
thrown down was at once taken up for
the majority report by H. S. Ward, of
Plymouth in a speech full of fire, greet
ed by wild applause of approval and
fierce shouts of disapproval. The scenes
were and sensational. The
fever was high, but w. w. Kitchin's
wise speech allayed much of it and the
platform were feaffirmed.
The proposition for a primary was
walloped out of all shape. In this the
minority report won after much debate
and by a majority that was huge, the
vote, being 933 against a primary and 29O
for it. The counties favoring the prim-
airy solidiy were Allegheny, Arson, Cas-
we'll, Duplin, Forsyth, Martin, Mecklen-
burg, Onslow, Rockingham, Stokes,
Surry, Washington, Wilkes and Yadkin.
The counties divided were: Ashe &C. for.
"A against; Beaufort 6 for, IA against;
Cumberland II for, Z against: Davie 3
for, 3 against; Edgecombe 9 for, 8
against; Hyde 2 for. 4 against; Iredell

land 4 for, 3 against; Stanly 5 for.
against; Union 9k for, 6h against:
wake 3 for, 20 against; Wilson 2 for, II
against. The counties not voting were:
Pende and Tyrrell, the delegates being
out and Mitchell was not represented
All the other counties were against the
primary.
Ih2 vote by which allegiance was af-
1rmed to the present National Platform
was carried by 500 against 535, not voting

don't. La the midst OF the Whlrl OF
sound is a wildly gesticulating man,
whose lips move, whose hands describe
parabolas and who now and then looks
at the chairman with mildly pathetic
eyes, but Of his fervid eloquence there is
naught. He thinks people hear him, but
the man at his elbow can't even do this,
and the howl of delight with which the
mass in front of him halls his exit is
worth crossing two states to hear. 1t is
as rich an exhibition as a three ring

The last legislature arranged the
sixth Congressional district in the
interest of the Democratic party. 1t
was in the nature of compliment
to give the Democrats one Congress
man from the state. The Republi-
cans of the last Wisconsin legisla-
ture were more generous than the
party in the majority in the south
have ever shown themselves to be.
One district in South Carolina was
Republican for many years, the
Democrats in the state not being
able to prevent it by any means thus
far at hand. This year this lone
Republican district was captured by
the Democrats. The south is
ssolid." What is the use of the Re-
publicans committing suicide? II
isn't practical common sense.

Europeans exploited the islands.
Magellan named group of islands
near these the Ladrones, because of
the pilfering habits of the inhabi-
tants. The Spaniards were never
able to subdue these hereditary rob-
bers and bandits. Their primary
object is to steal-to get a living
without work. Murder is often a
consequence of their methods, not
generally the object. The unsettled
condition of society, the multiplicity
of tribes or nationalities, and the low
stage of civilization encourage this
method of existence in the Philip
pines. The American administra-
ton is determined to exterminate
these bands and is pursuing them
relentlessly. Several hundred of
these outlaws have been killed since
the instruction was suppressed.

An Isthmian Canal.

If Columbia does not give sub
stantial assurance pretty soon that
she wants that canal built, then the
opportunity to get it built is clean
gone forever. The Spooner reso-
luton directs the President to get
good title from the French company
and obtain a satisfactory concession
sfrom Colombia. Either of these
considerations falling he is directed
to adopt the Nicaragua route and
begin work.
1t is greatly to the advantage of
this country in building canal
across the isthmus to get possession
of the Panama site and the works
belonging to the French company.
This route is by far the most feasible.
Two-fifths of the work is already
done, and the canal company owns
an immense amount of machinery
and material that, in case of sale to
the United States, would enable the
new possessor to commence and
pursue the work of excavation where
the old company leaves it. There
has been expended on this canal
more than $I5o,ooo,ooo. If the
United States adopts the Nicaragua
route, the canal across the state OF
Panama will never be completed.
Two isthmian canals so close to-
gether as these contemplated would
not give sufficient prospective trade
to induce any company of men or
government to project and complete.
In the event that Columbia desires
the United States to build the Pan
anna canal it must make such con-
| cessions as will be satisfactory. The
limited States will demand eth
er deed in fee simple of the neces-
sary territory or perpetual lease.
It would be well if the United States
could purchase the state of Panama.
This little state occupies the isthmus
as far west as Costa Rica. The in
habitants are anxious to be trans
ferred to the dominion of this gov
eminent.

A Belated Issue.

Judge Griggs, Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee, discovered a few days before
election that lead pencils were on
the tariff list of protected articles.
He says we are paying twice as
much for lead pencils as we ought
to pay, or would be obliged to pay
were it not for this tariff. Chairman
Griggs is kicking himself because
his discovery was made too late to
affect the result of the elections.
The Democratic party was tremen-
dously handicapped in this campaign
for want of an issue. If the party
had gone before the country on this
issue of lead pencils it would have
HOMEGROWN.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has designat-
ed Thursday, Nov. Fl, as day Of
national Thanksgiving. His pro-
clamation follows:
According to the yearly custom
of our people, it falls upon the presi-
dent at this season to appoint day
of festival and thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had
on the whole more to be thankful
for than has fallen to the lot of any
other people.
Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away
Each has had to bear its peculiar
burdens, each to face its special crises
and each has known years of grim
trial when the country was menaced
by malice, domestic or foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon it in drouth or flood or
pestilence, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the pen
atty Of folly and froward heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and up
ward; we now abundantly enjoy
material well-being and under the
favor of the Most High we are striv-
ing earnestly to achieve moral and
spiritual uplifting. The year that
has just closed has been one of peace
and overwhelming plenty. Rarely
has any people enjoyed greater pros
perity than we are now enjoying.
For these we render heartfelt and
solemn thanks to the Giver of Good;
