WHY ROOSEVELT SNUBBED MILES
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot,

Norfolk Nirginian- Pilot.
The bru.que refusal of Roosevelt
and Root to either consider or make
public the plan of General Nelson A.
Miles for ending hostilities in the
Philippines, has not left good taste
in the mouth Of the country. The
reason given for pitching Miles plan
in the wastebasket and snubbing the
General of the Army was SO absurdly
At variance with the facts, the con-
viction is forced upon one that there
was more or less of politics at the
bottom of it all.
The country was informed that
Roosevelt and Root regard the war as
cover or practically over..' There
fore, why consider any plan other
than that of bloody and relentless re-
preston? What the country would
like to know, however, is what $4,000
soldiers are being kept in the Philip
pines for, if the war is over? Why
should such force be necessary if
the Filipinos are smuggling up to the
white dove of peace and the program
OF benevolent assimilation?
The fact is that Roosevelt refused
to consider the plan of General Miles
because to have done so would have
been equivalent to a confession that
the Republican policy in the Philip
pines has been a grisly blunder and
that the Republican administration
has been guilty of deliberate, repeat
ed misrepresentation of conditions in
the islands. Nor was that all. Had
Miles succeeded in pacifying the
Philippines. he would have convicted
the administration Of imbecile man
agement of the situation, with disas-
trous consequences to the Republican
party. In short, the administration
prefers war with all it's horrors to any
peace for which the Republican party
would not be able to claim the credit.

JUDGE CLARK AND THE OPPOSI-
TION
Murphy Democrat.


Judge Clark seems to have some real
opposition in this State. Whether it will
be sufficient to defeat him remains to be
seen.-Waynesville Courier.
We are not of the number opposing
Judge Clark's nomination, but We do
hope, and all of Judge Clark's friends
should hope, that he will have op-
position sufficient to fully demon
strate the truth or falsity of charges
recently made against him. The
man who is nominated for any office,
and especially that Of the highest
judicial Office in the State, by the
Democratic party. should be man so
we'll qualified for the place in every
respect that every Democrat can
cheerfully vote for him. If Judge
Clark is not the man for the place,
now, before the convention. is the
time to make the discovery. For the
party to do as some suggested: allow
Judge Clark to be nominated without
opposition, and, as before planned,
place an independent candidate in
the field, would be far from honor
able, according to our standard Of
honor. We think that. after the
warning that has been given, if
Judge Clark is allowed to be nomi-
mated without opposition in the con-
vention, that OF itself is vindication
and evidence that there is moro
smoke than fire in the present talk
against him.
The Democratic party should make
the nominations so prudently and so
wisely that North Carolina soil will
not be congenial to Independent can
didates.

surprised that their children 60 in

child to his mother, why should the
fact cause any wonder? A child at

many fathers do. q man places busi-
ness first in his life all during the

seeing the father during the week.

worth his while to push on into the

the sweetening that should come into

A GOOD SIGN.
Goldsboro Argus.

Goldsboro Argus.
In this high pressure, money-get-
ting age, principle and sentiment are
in danger of being minimized. but
munificent benefactions are still in
evidence, showing that the spirit of
sordiness has not possessed the minds
Of the rich to the extent that cvuics
predicted.
But one of the best signs of the
times is not the tendency of multi
millionaires to give millions to found
universities and libraries, but the
more modest benefaction helping in
the aggregate to advance intellectual
endeavor and at the same time erect
memorials to departed worth.
"A notable case in point is the me-
mortal fund in honor OF q noble edu-
Gator, who had also served his coun-
try with conspicuous ability in the
halls of Congress for twenty years
William l.. Wilson-who died about a
year ago, while he was filling the
presidency of Washington and Lee
University. at Lexington, Va. Mr..
Wilson was perhaps the foremost
man of his day in the apprehension
and discussion of American politico-
economies. He was a Democrat to
the core. and his ideas of the tariff rs
government or party policy were
not approved by Republicans, but no
man commanded more fully the re-
spect and admiration of high-minded
and thoughtful Republicans than Mr..
Wilson. 1t is gratifying and signifi
cant then to see Republicans as we'll
as Democrats, under the chairman
ship of Grover Cleveland, contribut-
ing to the fund for the endowment OF
a school of economics at Washington
and Lee as a memorial to the dead
statesman and publicist.
And another stimulating fact about
this Wilson fund is that not only have
Republicans joined with Democrats in
making up the large amount of $780,,
900, but the contributions have been
largely from men of moderate means.
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Whitney, Mr..
Rockefeller and a few others have
written their names each for s., 200.
The amount needed is now almost all
in hand, and with the exception Of
about thirty thousand dollars the
subscriptions have come in sums of
$25 or $50, and as men OF nearly

A Word to Farmers.

A friend suggests that the follow
ing which was published in the GOLD
LEAF a few weeks ago should be re-
printed:
Plant fewer acres, manure highly
and cultivate well-and raise your
own supplies at home. That is the
secret of successful farming whether
you depend upon tobacco, cotton
grains or grasses as a money crop.
And under present conditions Of
scarcity and unreliability OF labor it
is all the more necessary to adopt the
intensive system of farming. Com
mercial fertilizers are all right but
do not depend upon them entirely.

HENRY CLAY EVANS.
Norfolk Virginian-PilOt.

Again the pension grafters arc
after the scalp OF Henry Clay Evans,
OF Pensions. They
are urging upon President Roosevelt
the appointment of one Of the two
sx-Congressmen from Kansas in his
place. 1t is now history that the late
President McKinley-not always as
rssolute against spoilsmen as the
country could have desired-stood by
Evans unflinchingly and resolutely
refused to retire him or to consider q
resignation generally supposed to
have been quietly rendered.
We cannot believe that Roosevelt
will follow any other course or that
he will sacrifice the one courageous
and efficient Pension Commissioner
Of recent years, to the insatiate,
greedy clamor Of the patriots for
profit, whose fraudulent attempts on
the treasury he has frustrated; and
who, with unparalleled impudencs,
have been assailing him on that ac-
count.
MIR. Evans is = Southern Republican
and about the only one connected in
any important capacity with the pres
ent administration, of whom his
party and his section have any cause
to be proud. He is a man Of the
highest standing in his own State,
Tennessee, and in his present posi-
tion he has won tho respect and con-
iidence Of the country, regardless Of
party. So far as our observation has
gone, there is not q newspaper OF the
country, Democratic, Republican or
Mugwump, whose opinions are on
titled to respect, that has not ap-
proved of MIR. Evans administration
of the Pension Office. This is sing
ular distinction, but it has been fairly
won and is thoroughly deserved.
