CARRYING 1T TOO FAR.

Perry Heath says that Mr.. Mckinley
told him that he wished Hanna to sue
ceed him as President The Washington
Pest says that "Mr. Roosevelt has APP
pointed many men to office on the repre-
sentation that they had been promised by
Mr.. Mckinley, but it seems like pressing
the matter too far when he is asked to
support Mr. McKinley's preference for the
Presidential nomination"
But, when he assumed the presidency,
didn't Mr.. Roosevelt voluntarily promise
to carry out "the plans and policies of
nv distinguished predecessor" And does
anybody doubt that one of the plans was
to turn over the presidency to Mr.. Hanna
Will Mr.. Roosevelt violate that sacred
pledge, made under the most solemn cir
cumstances? 1t looks like he will do that
very thing. thereby forfeiting the good
opinion OF Mr.. Perry Heath. Between the
good opinion of Mr.. Heath and the job
&c now holds, Mr.. Roosevelt thinks he
can afford to scuffle along without Mr..
Heath's good opinion.

tie harm would have come Of it. But it
probably does not contend that the ut
terance should have been withheld from
the papers. It was the same way with
the bassett article. 1t was about to be-
come thing of the past having fallen
under the inspection only of the limited
few who get and read the South Atlantic
Quarterly. But it was rescued from this
oblivion by Raleigh paper and given
to the world And we presume the Char
lotte News doesn't blame the Raleigh
paper for giving the article an airing.
It isn't so much up to the newspaper
to keep from quoting ugly things IS it
is up to the individual to keep from say
ing them. The same Raleigh paper that
discovered" the Bassett article unearthed
something else that will shock and alarm
many people. 1t is a communication FROM
Durham to the Boston Evening Trans

the front page. In the transcript it
would have been seen by but few Of
the people concerned. In the Raleigh

them all. Query, should the Raleigh pa
per have kept the article out of its col
umns to prevent the trouble it is sure to
bring? We think not. If Prof Bassett
and the Durham correspondent of the Bos.

things and if Rev. Massee says new and
strange things, the people ought to know
just what those individuals arc writing
and saying. In this way the people will
know what these men think-and these
men will find out what the people think.
