Charity is one of the noblest OF hu-
man virtues, but. like all the other gooo
qualities of mankind, it can ee oseo
to give offense to those upon "hoii II
is exercised. There is such a enlns as
carving this virtue too far or pesIo"-
ING r whore not wanted or in "uch
manner as TO amount TO insolence. We
think the action of Miss A. Z. BAKER
of Newton, Mass. as set forth IN the
following from the Asheville Citizen,
is of this kind:
1.-The following appears in the Bos-
ton Transcript of last Saturday:
MONEY NEEDED FOR CAROLINA
SCHOOLS.

The teachers of the country schools

libraries for their schools, l. each
school can send to the state legislature

cannot furnish even this small sum ahu
therefore the readers of h transcript
are asked for contributions OF money
toward this object. and any sum, now
ever small. will be gratefully received
and acknowledged by Miss A. +"
Baker. COZ Centre street, Newton
Mass
who is this Miss Baker? For what
schools and under what authority Eas
she issued his call for help?
.WhiIe North Carolina folks are, as
all people ought to be. grateful for any
kindly act still we doubt if they VII
relish such an appeal for charity IN
their relief.

ought to give her authority for DO

We fully agree with The Citizen III

of Massachusetts to furnish the FUNDS
When we want financial or any other
kind of aid from them we shall appea

for the education of our children
should be raised within the borders Of
our state. What We cannot raise by
taxation and voluntary contributor OF

to ask the New Englanders to help US

Bakers is a piece of meddlesomeness
which every North C~arolinian should
resent.

OF course Senator am will not ac-
cept the nomination for vice president
on the ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt or with
any n else. He does not care to re-
tire from politics, and he knows that
were he elected he would be shelved
politically. A prominent member of
the senate, of the party in power is a
much bigger man than the vice presi-
dent of the United States, and Mr..
Roosevelt is too lucky a mai for his
running mate to nave the luck he had
