THE PRESIDENT DID RIGHT.

The Charlotte papers state that dele
cation has gone TO Washington to try to
persuade the President to change his
mind with reference to Mr.. Mullen, whose
nomination as postmaster he has with
drawn from the Senate. Charity and Chill
dren voices the best public sentiment i'll
North Carolina when it says:
'If what we hear about the drunken
ness of Postmaster Mullen, of Charlotte
is correct, President Roosevelt showed
the man in overriding the wishes of
Senator Pritchard and the business men
of Charlotte, and giving the place to a
better man
The President did we'll to turn down
the Arizona man because he had been
running a faro bank. He ought to put
none but sober men in office. If a man
has not sufficient control of himself to
keep sober, he ought to be kept in pri-
vate life. Both parties sin in that direc-
ton. but after the Charlotte postmaster
made such spectacle of himself as to
cause the President to withdraw his NOM
nation, he ought not to back down from
his right position.

WILL THE PENSION SHARKS
WIN?

For several years the pension attor-
neys and pension sharks have kept up a
war on Mr.. Evans, Commissioner OF
Pensions, because he would not let them
run the Pension Department. He has
been very liberal il his 1ension grants,
but hasn't opened the spigot and bung,
They demanded his head of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. That amiable politician at one
time seemed to be on the point Of yield
ing to their demand, but upon reflection
rose to the duty he owed the country
and refused to heed the clamor for re-
moval
The Kansas members of Congress give
it out that Mr.. Roosevelt has been
brought around to their way of think
ing and that Mr.. Evans will soon walk
the plank. He will not be made to get out
of office in disgrace, but will be given
a position of more Importance and it
will be a promotion" Exactly so. That
is the modern way of kicking a public
officer out of place where the raiders
and all sorts of grabbers wish a free
hand.
Mr., Roosevelt, two years ago, would
have resented suggestion that he
would connive at the removal of an
honest man who was performing his
sworn duty transferring him to a place
with an increase in order to please the
pension grabbers. When a man gets the
Presidential bee in his bonnet, what a
change comes over his conduct! 1t is to
stand the clamor for Mr.. Evans head.

Judge Brown For Associate Justice

To the Editor; Voicing the unanimous
desire of the Democratic voters of the
First Congressional District, l ask the
use of your columns for the purpose 70
recommending to the next Democratic
State Convention the name of Hon. Geo
Fl. Brown. Jr., for nomination for the
position of Associate Justice of the SUI
preme Court on the Democratic ticket.
We think he is entitled. to this nOmina-
ton if any person is ever so entitled at
the hands of the Democratic party. He
has given his manf1ood's best years to
the performance of the onerous duties OF
circuit judge He gave up lucrative
practice to accept that position. He has
filled it as perfectly as any judge ever
did for fourteen years of continuous ser
vice, and during all that time has never
once shirked. his duty. or let fear, favor,
affection, reward or the hope OF reward
swerve him from what he conceived to
be the law and the Justice of the case
before him. And now, whenever any
body has a suit in the Superior Court for
or against himself Or his friends, he is
always satisfied for it to be tried before
Brown, and we the district that gave
his services to the State, believe that
when he gets upon the Supreme court
bench there will be one man on the
bench at least who will hold the scales
of justice equally poised, and the great
business and manufacturing and agricul-
tural intrests of the State can implicitly
rely on his doing what is just, right and
conservative. He is senior Superior
Court judge in length of service. 1t is a
sound Democratic custom to promote in
turn officers who are capable and faith
full as Judge Brown has been. Besides
this he was nominated for this position in
1896 and bore the expense incidental to
that campaign when there was confess
eddy no show for election, and now when
there is a chance his services in that
campaign ought to be recognized by a
denomination.
The friend that sticks up to us in foul
weather should be remembered in fair
Judge Brown has always been true to the
Democracy "in sunshine and in shadow
We, the First District, ask the other dis
tricts of the State to do us this simple
act of justice. Put Brown on the ticket
for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court show US that when we offer such
man, so formed by nature and Sc
qualified by judicial education and train
ing to fill that high position that the
State will not fail to recognize his ft-
ness for the place, and honor us by hon
oring him, our favorite son. Spread this
letter before the people in your paper
and tell the delegates to the next Demo-
cratic State Convention that the First
District will meet them there TO nomi-
nate Brown and to help to nominate two
other good men to assist him in keeping
North Carolina straight.
Yours truly,
F. G. SKINNER.

CONSOLIDATE SCHOOL DISTRICTS

The Baltimore Sun has an editorial
on ''Better Country Schools" that is
wise and full of thought. 1t should be
read by every school committeeman in
North Carolina. IF good schools cannot
be brought to the children of sparsely
settled areas, cannot the children be
brought to the schools? The experiment
has been tried and it is found to be
practicable to unite the weak schools OF
a scattered country settlement into one
strong, we'll equipped, well conducted,
central graded school by conveying the
remote children to and from their homes
at public expense, and that, too at
cost less than that of maintaining num-
her of isolated and inefficient small
scht ols.'
New York has a statute for CONSOLE
dating rural schools, Wisconsin has a
large number of consolidated rural
graded schools Maryland is prepar-
Ing u CICGLG oNitulS LOl SHAA
solidation, Massachusetts for thirty
years has transported children 70 cen
trail schools. One district saved 5000 a
year. In another consolidated district
the term was increased in length so per
cent, teachers salaries rs per cent, draw
ing and music introduced, quality of in
struction and attendance improved and
expenses decreased. In Iowa in a con-
solidated district the cost per pupil fell
from So 03 to s2.31, attendance rose from
80 to $780, and first class graded instruc-
tion was substituted for the sorry
tumble of the old fashioned school.
These facts speak for themselves. North
Carolina has too many schools aud too
many school districts. Let them be con-
solidated with wisdom and common
sense.
