MR.. SIr1rlONS ON THE PHILIPPINES
Charlotte Observer, April so.

CharlUtte observer, April so.
1t is to be inferred from the Asso-
ciated Press synopsis of it, that the
speech of our unior Senator, Mon
day, in opposition to the Philippine
government bill, was a very strong
one. We cannot subscribe to his
proposition that these islands should
at this time be turned over to their
inhabitants; we are there, and it is
not clear how, regarding all the inter-
ests concerned, we are now to get
out; but apart from this there is
nothing in the speech that can be
fairly objected to. Senator Simmons
was none too severe in his comments
upon the American military methods
employed in the islands, and nothing
could be more apt than his COMPARE
son Of General Smiths orders to
make "howling Wilderness and to
STAY all male inhabitants over ten
years of aye to Herod's edict to have
slain all the male children of two
years and under born in Bethlehem.
1t is to be assumed that the tele-
graphic outline does his speech no
more than Justice, and upon this
basis we are pleased to express the
opinion that is was worthy of the
Senator's State and the Senate. MIR.
Simmons introduced himself fairly to
the Senate and the country by his
unanswerable argument, some weeks
ago, upondhe olsomargarine bill. and
in point of ability this Philippine
speech appears to be lit companion
to that.

SOUTHERN WRITER WORTH WATCHING
Only a Girl Now, But Full of Promise
For the Future.

It is not at all impro bable that be-
fore many years have passed the
South will be pointing proudly TO a
new writer in the field OF fiction; a
writer whose present work along
another line gives promise OF some
thing Of enduring interest if she
turns to fiction when more mature
Helen Keller. This wonderful girl
from Ala bama, blind, and deprived Of
all sense Of hearing, is putting so
much poetic feeling sentiment and
deep thought, and is showing such
marvellous descriptive power, in her
story of her life now appearing in the
LodieS' Home Journal, that one cannot
help wondering what she would do if
she were to try her hand at romance.
1t is too early yet for her to think of
it, as she is only twenty-one, and still
in college; but it requires 10 stretch
of the Imagination to conceive OF her
as becoming one of the South's most
famous authors by and by.

WHO IS MY BROTHER
BY ADELBERT LEE YEO

Who is NY brother, Oh, tell me pray.
Who is nv brother in life's rough way?
He is my brother, in want and need,
He is my brother, whose heart doth bleed
Sad-hearted, toiling beneath his load.
YEARLY onward along life road;
He is my brother, a helping hand
Might raise from the mire and cause tC
stand.
Who is my brother, Oh, tell me pray,
Who is my brother in LIES rough way?
He is my brother, whom cares Oppre>s,
He is my brother, whom cares distress,
YEARLY plOdding the path of life,
Soul burdehed, worn and faint in the strife,
He is my brother, to whose sad heart
l may ray of JOY impaTt.
Who is my brother. Oh, tell me pray.
Who is my brother in LIES rough way?
lie is my brother, whose hopes will live,
If but word Of comfort give,
He is my brother whom words Of cheer
Will brighten his skies so dark and drear,
He is my brother whom | can aid
In climbing LIES rough and rugged grade
Who is my brother, Oh, tell me pray,
Who is my brother in life's rough way?
He is my brother, who warders in
The broad and winding highway of >ih,
He who but a word might lead Alright,
To walk in the paths Of truth and light,
lie is my brother, to 81 II a slave,
He whom but gentle word may save.

THE TRINITY COLLEGE BANQUET
Charlotte Observer, April 30th.

Charlotte Observer, April 30th.
The banquet given in this city Mon
day night by number OF the Metbo-
Of Trinity College was a significant
and interesting event. Three better
banquet speeches were never heard in
Charlotte than those Of Mr.. James II.
Southgate, DR.. Edward Minis and Dr..
John &. Kilgo, and all who listened to
them hung upon the words of the
speakers. Trinity has splendid en-
dowment fund and faculty which in
ability and fitness for it's work is not
surpassed by that of any educational
institution in the South. Ii stands
not only for high standard Of educa-
ton as it is to be had from the books,
but for freedom of intellect and
breadth of thought, and its influence
is telling and will tell upon the intel
lectual life as upon the religious
thought Of the State. 1t was an in
SEPARATION to those who heard the gen
tlemen who spoke for it Monday night
to listen to them as they told of the
lines upon which their institution
moves and Of their ideals ot college
life and education. There were none
who attended this banquet and heard
these speeches in whose minds Trim
ity College will not hereafter occupy
a higher niche They were stimu
lated by what they heard and encour-
aged to hope for better things for
their State. The occasion was one to
be marked with a white Stone.

HAD BEST BEEN LEFT UNSAiD.

Referring to the structures upon
President Roosevelt by Bishop Kelley
in his memorial address in Savannah
(as printed last week. the Charlotte
Observer says:
There are some things that We had
best not be reminded of, or, il we do
not know, that we had best not be
told. President Roosevelt behaved SO
handsomely at Charleston and spoke
us so fair that the people Of the South
generally can but regret that in his
memorial day address at Savannah,
Cir, last Saturday night, Rt. Rev
Ben amin j. Kelley, Catholic Bishop
of Savannah. should have sprung the
fact that Mr.. Roosevelt once wrote of
Jefferson Davis as an arch traitor and
compared him with Benedict Arnold
and Aaron Burr. 1t is not stated
under what circumstances Mr.. RoOse-
welt wrote these words; no doubt it
was some time ago, and since then he
has become a national man, has had
contact with his fcllOwcitizenS of all
parts of the country, and has better
grasp upon the thought, past and
present, of them and their fore
fathers. SO. it is safe to say, ii he
had it to do over, he would not write
those sentences about Mr.. Davis, and
in view OF the things he has said in
the recent past it is hardly kind to
hold them against him or TO quote
them on him To 90 further, it is
scarcely fair at all times TO hold Il
man to what he has said in by-gune
years when he has since, in fuller
knowledge, said kindier and more
gracious things on the same subject.
Mr.. Kelley has done no good in resur-
recting this forgotten or unknown
writing of Mr.. Roosevelt. but he has
re-opened an old wound and done
harm, in retarding the growth OF sec
tiOual unity

IT is OF consequence that the Presi-
dent of the United States should have
a good opinion of North Carolina and
he has certainly been deeply impress
ed with representatives OF the State
as he has seen and heard them abroad
within the past month. He was
quite eaptivated at Charleston by
Governor Ayeock and appears to have
been equally impressed at Annapolis
Friday by DIR. Winston, and after his
address at the graduating exercises of
the Naval Academy, to which Dr.
Winston is a visitor, congratulated
him and showed him marked atten-
ton. These instances should prove
the importance of the State being
represented on great public occasions
celebrated without its borders, and of
putting its best foot forward. 1t did
the latter at Charleston Exposition
and on graduating day at Annapolis,
and shone on both occasions Char

TIE May lectures.

The May number of McClure's is a
brilliant example of the editorial en-
terprise i'll securing the right article
at the right time, for which this
magazine is famous. When Mcclure s
sees a big story it goes to headquar-
ters for it; and SO i'll May we have,
first, Miss Stones own account of her
capture and Imprisonment by the
brigands. and, secondly, Prince
Henry's impressions of America re-
corded by the one American whose
testimony on this subject is authOri-
tative-Admiral Bob Evans.
AnOt her notable contribution to
the number is George W. Smalley's
paper on English Statesmen and
Rulers second OF a series OF
personal "reminiscences by this most
distinguished of American newspapers
correspondents.
Two authors who have won their
best deserved popularity as writer's
for McClure's Magazine are Frank H
Spearman and Clara Morris-the first
as writer OF railroad stories, and
the second by her recOllectiOns of the
stage.
A new writer. one Of the kind Nc.
Cures is always securing-the kind
that strike out boldly for themselves
is H. r. Martin. The Conversion
of Elviny' is Il story of the New Men,
nonites "a religious sect among the
Pennsylvania Dutch), and is so good
that We learn with pleasure that more
from the same field are forthcoming.
The Devotion OF John Dubbs," by
William d. Williams, is a pathetic
tale OF a death iii an Arizona desert
beautifully illustrated by Albert
Steiner.
Breezy, Grocer's Clerk" by j,
George Frederick, and a Matter OF
Providence" by Ellsworth Kelly, are
two short stories; the first Drumming
with fun, the second winning by it's
quiet drollery and sympathy.
Altogether the number is as re-
markable for the quality of its fiction
as for the Importance and timeliness
OF its articles.

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON,

Columbia 6. c. State.
"All my people, black and white
God bless them all"
Those were the last words of Wade
Hampton. Gentleman-Hsmpton the
great slaveowner. Hampton the Con-
federate General, Hampton the de-
stroysr of negro rule in South Caro-
lima. Do they not give the outer
world a new insight into the charac-
ter of the man who above all others
in his time represented the best of
South Carolina? We of his State so
well knew him that we might almo st
have framed in advance this final in
vocation of his for the welfare of ne
groes as we'll as whites. But others
could not have that knowledge of the

WE do not think the Tennessean
gained anything out Of the North
CarOlinian in his effort to wrong and
misTepreseut the white men of North
Carolina by bringing a false charge
of general intimidation by the red
shirts. Senator Simmons disposed of
the game in an emphatic and con-
elusive way-a flat denial. Pritchard
Is a bitter foe Of the white folks in
this grand old State. He is not equal
to blackening their characters. Bnt
the effort is slan;ierous and Infamous
Senator Simmons attracted more
attention in the Senate by his recent
speech on the Philippines than by any
thing else he has done. 1t was in
TACT a speech Of elaboration, and
meets certain phases Of opinion that
prevail more or less in North Caro-
lima. Southern Senators, and some
Western Senators also, gave the
speech marked attention, and gave
approval TO what was Whining
