President Spends Sunday Without
Interference.

Seattle, May 25.-It is not often
that the president of the United States
may do lust as he pleases, but yester-
day in Seattle lie was left almost en-
tirely to his own resources. He arose
in the morning without any reference
to particular shcedule. and was chair.
man of his own reception all day. 1t
was just such Sunday as President
Roosevelt likes to spend, and on his
trip since the beginning he has insisted
that Sundays he should not be bothered
with special arrangements. but that
this one day out of seven he should be
permitted to do as his own fancy mi, hit
dictate.
The day was almost such another as
Saturday, when his trip on the water
in the most perfect OF weather was one
of the most pleasant features of his
visit to the Northwest states. A few
clouds appeared, but they merely made
the afternoon more delightful for out
door exercise such as the president en-
joys. Finally, after the day was over,
he boarded his train in waiting at the
foot of Madison street and about mid
night the long journey eastward was
begun, and the visit Of the president to
Puget Sound Was ended.
The first appearance OF the president
in public yesterday was in the morning

GREAT STRIKE POSSIBLE.
Life and Death Struggle Probable
in Chicago.

Chicago, May 25.-The prospects for
peace which on Friday looked so bright
in Chicago's great labor crisis have
vanished in conferences that ended in
the employers and labor leaders hnrl
ing defiance at each other.
President Schradt. of the Federati On
OF Labor and the Employers Associa
ton committee met committee of
laundry workers to settle the strike of
1000 laundry employees. The unions
waived everything but the right to
strike and the demand for increased
wages, which the laundry owners were
willing to :cept. The Employers
Association, to which the laundry en-
ployers belong, fatty refused to permit
settlement on this basis. The associ-
alton then offered to substitute an
agreement which the unions declare to
be an urdisguised plot to gradually
weed out the unionsists.

There is no better index of public
opinion than the State and county
papers of North Carolina. The fore
going extracts from representative
county papers from the mountains
to the ~seacoast furnish the best pos
sible evidence of the permanent and
ever increasing interest in public ed
ucation. This movement for better
schools and more money for them
has evidently come to stay. The
chief characteristics of our North
Carolina folks are their conservatism
and their reliability. They consider
we'll before moving. That which
moves them must appeal to reason
and common sense. Therefore they
take no backward steps in any great
movement. It has been the constant
purpose of the State Superintendent
and all others aiding in the direction
of the educational affairs of the
State to appeal to reason and judg-
ment, not to prejudice and passion,to
direct and organize the d~eep-seated
interest and profound convictions of
our people toward the successful ac-
complishment of what the people
themselves desire and demand. There
have not been nor will there be any
| extreme or fanatical methods resort
| ed to. I am convinced, therefore, that
there will be no reaction, but instead,
a continuous, safe, healthy growth in
public sentiment for education and
in public demand for more and bet
ter schools, houses, and teachers I'M
til a good school with good equip
ment, afording the means for a good,
practical education, shall be within
the reach of every child of school
age in our State. North C~arolinians
have made UP their minds to give
their children an equal chance in life
with the children of their sister
States and of the other countries of
the world. They have a way of do
ing what they determine to do and
they are rapidly finding a way to do
this. J. Y. JOINER,
