BUREAUCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark has couser-
vativc and sensible article pointing out
the evils that might follow the passage
of the bill against which Gen. Miles has
strenuously protested 1t calls the
Presidents action persecution of Ger.
Miles and adds:
'Another glaring instance of the harm
full domination of bureaucrats is the
brutal persecution of Admiral Schley,
who has been pursued With relentless
hostility and technically beaten at every
point by men in clerical positions. The
Bureau of Navigation ran everything
connected with our navy in tho Spanish
American War EXCEPT Dewey and has
strengthened it's grip since. Dewey ext
the Manila cable at the critical moment
ard relieved himself of the incubus of
the Crowninshield-M ahan committee.
For the sake of the country, We nope
that the army will not be afflicted with a
Bureau of Navigation. General Miles
is by no means without support among
Republican newspapers of standing, but
he is fighting against the same heavy
odds that have overcome him and many
others before"

DON'T PUT IT ON WHEELS.

Every State Convention in North
Carolina, except the one in 1872, when
the party was defeated, has been held in
Raleigh during the past thirty years.
There are a dozen other good towns and
cities in North Carolina that would be
glad of the honor of entertaining the
has been that the convention should DC
held at the capital of the State. A party
should have fixed place for it's deliber-
atoms just as commonwealth should
have a fixed capital.
The enterprising citizens of Green's
boro would naturally like to have the
convention, and if the Democrats are to
put the convention on wheels and go this
year to one city and another year to
another city, Greensboro would be a
good place in which to meet But why
should the policy of half a century be
departed from in order TO please this
city and displeasc that city?
Gentlemen of the Democratic Commit
tee: Do not put the Democratic Con-
vention on wheels, do not subject the
party to biennial contests about a ques-
ton that once opened will continue to
give trouble. The committee meets to-
night to discuss important matters, but
it must need be diverted from its bust
ness to hear the claims of conflicting
cities ambitious to be chosen as the con-
vention city Is that wise?. Once put
the Convention on wheels and at every
meeting of the committee the clash of
interests of aspiring cities will give little
time for the serious consideration &c the
more important matters for which the
committee is called 10 meet.
The States capital has been REGARDED
as the most suitable place for the State
Conventions. The people have been ac-
customed to gather here to write their
platform and name their candidates.
The wise course is to make no change
this year. Once put it on wheels, and
that departure will raise up an issue that
will give trouble in the future.
Don't" make any change!

WANTED: BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOL
HOUSES.

One of the chief needs of the State
is better public school houses in the
rural districts. In some counties there
has been improvement, but ex-
cept in two or three the build
ing of better school houses has been
done at the expense of the length of
the school term. Person county has the
best public school buildings in the State
to be found in the country districts. They
were built from fund given to the coun-
ty for that purpose by the late Dr. Will
liam Terrell. 1t was wise benefaction
and one that men of large means might
we'll emulate.
Mr.. F. C. Abbott, president of the South
ern States Trust Company, of Charlotte,
who takes deep and intelligent interest
in the betterment of the schools of the
rural districts, has issued a pamphlet
containing many wise suggestions about
education He has reached the conclusion
that better public schools would greatly
stimulate interest in public education. He
points out that the money for better
schools cannot be obtained from the gen.
eral fund because it would decrease the
short school term. AS a remedy he sug-
gests a State School Building AssOcia-
ton composed of one hundred men, each
of whom will give 1000 to be used in
helping poor school districts to build suit
able public school houses. Mr.. Abbott
calls for liberal minded men to come for
ward and invest this sum in a way that
will do great good, and adds that the as
ISOLATION will be organized as soon as a
dozen men agree to give $1,000 each, 1t
is to be hoped that Mr. Abbott's plan
will be seconded by ninety nine other men
and that the era of school building can
be inaugurated during the present sum-
mer.

ALL WISE MEN DEPRECATE IT,

| The Chicago Times Herald, an indie
pendent paper that always supports the
Republican national ticket, and TIE Chi
cago Tribune, a thick-and- thin Republi-
can paper, both warn the Republican
Congress- of the danger in the Crumpack-
er bill. The Times says it is neither a
brilliant nor wise conception and
adds
But the question will be regarded
from the partisan standpoint alone. and,
consideed from this standpoint, the in
fer those who propose it. The Republi-
cans should understand that there is no
capital to be made now out of the pro-
motion of sectional strife. When they
suggest what is, in effect, a campaign
against the South they are opposing a
resistless evolution of public sentimen;
that has been going on for the last tWen-
ty years. Their own party has recog-
nized the trend and substituted concilia-
tion for aggression. President Mckin-
ley used to say that his best political
work was the work that he had done
toward bringing North and South to-
cether.
THE theme, No North, No South is
by this time SO popular everywhere that
it is simply fatEous to endeavor to re-
Vive the old hostilities. Mr.. Crumpacker
would produce solid South without Sc
curing the backing of the North, and it
is quite natural that German, Bryan, and
Hill should prepare for the fray with
alacrity and satisfaction"
Politically, the South does not fear it.
The Democrats know that it would help
their party. But Southern Democrats
depracate it because it jecpardizes the
peace and quiet that are favorable to in
dustriaI progress ard prosperity. The
Northern business men, who have made
investments in the South, deprecate it
for the same reason. The Northern
thoughtful men, who see that continued
racial antagonists, retards rather thar
advances the interests of the
negro deprecate it. Nobody approves
except bloody-shirt waving, short
sighted politicians. who think they
see temporary party advantages in play
irg sectional policies.

VALUE TO MUNICIPAL TDVERTIS-
ING.

New Bern Journal.
The fact that a town or city spends
money in advertising it's advantages TO
| outsiders, indicates that its officials arc
alive, have something that they believe
in and are progressive.
For any municipality to remain unad-
vertised, as to its advantages to the out
side investor. means dead place.
Municipal advertising has the merit
and value beyond the individual adver-
Using, in that it gives greater results.
Individual advertising means the call
| ing of public attention to the goods of
| one person, while municipal advertising
means the attraction of the outside pub
| lie to everything within it's borders.
This means, when the advertisement
has proven it's success by bringing in
| the outside investor, that both the credit
and standing of the community has been
advanced.
The effect of this is to increase property
values of every kind, stimulate aid in
crease all commercial trade, and pro-
mote industrial and trade development.
The officials of a municipality may
deem the expenditure of money in adj
vertising their citys advantages as
something beyond their jurisdiction.
If such advert;sing shall be to pro-
mote the interests of the community. it
cannot be classcd as outside of their Of
fetal action, for certainly men elected
to public places of trust are expected to
do within their ability everything for
the people whom they serve.
AS with the merchant who seeks to
save by not advertising. so with the Off
cials of municipality Who refuses tc
make public the advantages of their
community when opportunity offers.
There is money not spent, but it is
the costliest saving that could be de-
vised.
1t means obscurity for both merchant
ara municipality, with 4 cc.Istant retro

Yesterdays Baltimore Sun publishes an
interview with Senator Platt, predicting
the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt as the
Republican presidential candidate in 1904
After thus delivering himself Mr.. Plat
said:
Il am convinced that there are a great
many Southern men who have heretofore
affiliated with the Democratic party who
have great respect for our Republican
President and whose conviction on the
general policy of the Republican party is
that it accords with their sentiments.
Many of these may openly support the
Republican candidate at the next cleo
tion."
The Senator does we'll to use the word
may" The truth is that when Mr..
Roosevelt became President the Southern
people of all political creeds, liked him
and gave him their best wishes. But he has
lost it by his acts as President. The
invitation to Booker Washington, the first
of its kind in the history of the Repub-
lie; the gratuitous insult to Confederate
coarse abuse of General Miles, not be-
cause Miles is loved in the South but
because in that instance he had done
right; the UNFOLDING the naval clique that
had put stigma upon the good name of
Schley; these are some of the things
that have lost Mr.. Roosevelt the adr1i-
ration of the Southern people as well
as thousands of others in all parts OF the
Republic though all recognize that he has
ability and many good qualities.
Henry Watterson's Characterization,
1.-THE broncho- buster was a happy hit.
Mr.. Mckinley received the support of a
number of Southern men who believed
that he was periodically laboring to put
an end to all sectionalism. Where he
received the vote of ten Southern white
men, Mr. Roosevelt will receive the vote
of only one.
