JEFFERSON AND THE MONROE
DOCr RINE.

A little while ago the News and OBJ
server was criticized for saying that JEFF
ferson inspired what we know as the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is true that Uohn
Quincy Adams officially drafted it at
Monroes direction, but it is also true
that long before Jefferson announced
every principle of the Monroe doctrine in
letter In which he said:
1.-THE day is not distant when we may
formally require meridian of partition
through the ocean which separates the
two hemispheres, on the hither side OF
which no European gun shall ever be
heard, no American on the other The
principles of society here and there are
radically different, and 1 hope no Ameri-
can patriot will ever lose sight of the
essential policy of interdicting in the seas
and territories of both Americas the fe
rocious and sanguinary contests of Eu-
rope"

WHATDORs THesEAB0ARD DEAL
MEANs

Nearly all the papers published along
the line of the Seaboard express the be-
lief that the new arrangement will prove
advantageous. Let us hope they are right.
Mr.. John Shelton Williams had made a
great fight for an independent system and
the interests of the whole section were that
the Seaboard should maintain it's indie
pendence The reports are conflicting.
If the Rock Island and Seaboard are to
be managed in this territory entirely sep
arate from all other systems, the dangers
in railroad monopoly will be averted. But
If the Seaboard is to be conducted as If
it we're a part of other railroad systems
by reason OF the new deal, the change is
one that is to be deplored.
The worst thing that could happen to
the South in commercial and manufac-
turing sense would be to have all its rail
roads monopolized.
1t is too soon to know the real effect
of the unexpected and startling deal. The
Rock Island is one of the most progress
sive systems in the country. If it and the
Seaboard are to join hands to make a great
system. free from entangling alliances,
they can do much to develop the magnifi-
cent Southern country from New Orleans,
Tampa and Birmingham as the southern
terminal to Washington and Norfolk on
their northern terminals. Let us hope
that the new owners and the old owners
will cooperate to that end.

PUBLICITY WOULD HELP.

In Chicago private property is assessed
once every four years, and the full list
of assessments by election precincts is
published. This enables every taxpayer
easily to see what his neighbor is paying
and it is mighty equalizer.
The mayor of Philadelphia recently said
respecting the new assessment proposal,
that "every property owner should know
at what figure his or her property is as
sessed." Further and better Mayor
Weaver said: "I believe that everybody
should know what his neighbours proper
ty is assessed at, not only in his street,
but around the corner as well. Then we
can learn whether the public thinks there
is discrimination or not in making the
assessments
Commenting on the Mayors suggestion,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
1.-THE publicity which the Mayor sug-
gests should be given respecting the as
sessed value of real estate is not only de-
done to all taxpayers alike. Mayor Weav-
er stated on Tuesday that in some of
the wards the assessed value of realty was
as low as per cent, and in other wards
so per cent. This statement proves either
intentional determinations or gross igno-
rance on the part of some of the Assessors
of property values. 1t matters little in
effect whether the broad divergence in as
sessment testified to by the Mayor is the
sequence of one or the other of these
ca uses; it is manifestly unjust, rs it COM
pels one citizen to pay not only his own,
but his more favored neighbours taxes.
No such wrong could continue if publicity
were given to the entire lists of assess
ments. But the Mayor intimates that the
matter of making them public is diff
ficult problem, which the City Councils
must work OUT
In Raleigh there is complaint that there
is not uniformity in assessments. How
that is, we do not know. The public does
not know. If the assessments were print
ed in the papers it would enable the pub
lie to decide.
The railroads say their complaint is,
not that their property is actually assessed
too high, but that it is too high when
compared with other property. Certain
property owners in Raleigh make the
same complaint. Others declare that
whereas their houses are assessed at their
true value in money" railroad property
is assessed at not more than two-thirds
of the ascertained true value in money.
Publicity would help to correct all in
equalities.

NO CHOICE BETWEEN THEM.

The only paper in America that has ap-
proved the action of the administration
toward General Miles is the Henderson
vile Hustler. That paper is always indie
out reserve. Speaking Of the criticisms,
the Hustler says:
1--WE sincerely regret that he was not
publicly disgraced and dishonOrably dis
charged from the army. We heartily en-
dorse Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude towards
the General. Mr.. Roosevelt can read
men; he read Miles and as natural con-
sequence did not care to associate with
his ilk. Miles is suffering just retribution
for his contemplate conduct of the past" "
But was the "snub" to Miles by Roose-
welt given as "just retribution for his
contemplate conduct of the past? Did
Roosevelt try to humiliate Miles because
he put Jefferson Davis in irons? If so,
There is no evidence that the President
was actuated by anything like the feeling
possessed by the Hustler for in 1898, at a
banquet in New York he eulogized Gen.
eral Miles in these words:
"In General Miles, the hero of the Civil
War, do not forget General Miles, the
hero of the long weary campaigns against
the Sioux, the Cheyennes and the Black
feet
Miles will never be forgiven in the South
for his brutal treatment of Mr.. Davis.
But Roosevelt is no better. Miles was
guilty of brutality in time of passion
inexcusable then as at any time. Roose-
welt in his writings has sought to damn
the reputation of Mr.. Davis by unfair,
unjust and unfounded criticisms In other
words he, after the cooling years have
passed, seeks to execrate him in history
as Miles bound his body with irons.
Between Roosevelt's and Miles's con-
duct, we have no choice.

The CONFEDERATE SOLDIER AS
A CITIZEN.

In his address at the Confederate Re
union at Sanford one of the most notable
gathering of this decade, the orator OF
the day, Frank S. Spruill, Esq, took
rather a new departure in the subject OF
his Grafton. The story of the heroes OF
the war; WHO sealed their devotion with
their blood, has been embalmed in poetry
and prose. Mr.. Spruill, after an eloquent
tribute to the dead heroes, spoke OF the
living Confederate soldiers-those who
came out of the army to fight conditions
and evils in some respects almost as terri
BILE as the hell that belched from the can
mons mouth. They had lost all but honor
and courage. With his burning eloquence
Mr. Spruill traced the history of the Con-
federate soldier as a citizen and showed
that the victories of peace have not been
second to the victories of war.

Among the Railroads.

Major VIM Warrington spent a few days
in town this week The Major related the
thrilling experience he had in the wreck
on the Seaboard Air Line road some time
ago, in which he was severely injured.
He denied the tale told by the Durham
Herald and other papers, regarding the
bull yearling'' scrape. 1t is said that
the Major was sitting on the creek bank
and little bull yearling was close by
and as the train came laundering along
the bull started across the track and was
struck and was thrown with violence
against Mr.. Warrington, who at once in
stituted suit against the road for damages
to the amount of $4,000. The case is set
for trial some time next month.-Chapel

gerry man knows what these men need;
just something which shall make them let
