SENSIBLE POLICY
Of Winding Our Own Business Has

New York World

The London Times, commentin,
upon the Manchurian affair, congratu
lates itself upon 1.-THE unanimlty witt
which the American press declares
that if President Roosevelt and Score
tary Hay decided in favor OF strous
measures they will have the support
of the country
The Times has things little mixed
What 1t has observed is not the una
nlmity of the American press, but the
unanl nifty with which the American
correspondents of English newspapers
fool their employers by giving them
the kind of news they want to get.
A few years ago, in the time of
Dunraven and CIeveIano's Venezuelan
message, London editors wanted
libelous aspersions on the tail-twisting
procllvities of the American people,
and they got them. Now they want
assurances that this country is aching
to join England In policy of prov
ocatlon ana aggression all over the
world, and they get those. 1t is pity
that some English paper does not COM
mission It's New York correspondent to
tell it thu simple truth.
That truth IN this Manchurian bust
ness is that there is no feeling what
ever in this country in favor of
strong measures" against Russia,
and in this matter the American
press faithfully represents public
opinion.
We should like, as a matter Of SEN
timent, to see the integrity of China
pres erved, and we should be glad as
a matter of interest to see the policy
OF the open door maintained Ill Man
churla, and we are willing to use our
moral influence in these directions.
but even If Russia should display as
| ttls respect for the integrity of
emma as we once displayed for that
OF Mexico and should shut the door Of
rade IN MancNurla as tightly as we
have shut in Porto Rico or should stay
in Manchuria as England is staying
in Egypt, we should not consider the
thing fighting affair The American
people have assumed responsibilities
enough IN the Western Hemisphere
without hunting wars either of
knlgnterrantry or of trade in the
Eastern. Our trade with Manchurla
for century would not pay the cost
of single year of war with Russia.

which finds its highest expression in

irradiated these common and holy loves.
Bill Arp never wrote line of skepti-
cism or doubt. He believed in the old
fashioned religion. He never preached
but when you read his letters you felt
that you were hearing the admonitions of
a father or mother. He was a Christian
man of the best type.
The old-fashioned woman had in him an
ardent champion. He honored woman and
his writings lifted her up. He believed
she was on plane above man and he
had no sympathy with those whom he
thought would pull her down on the level
of man by giving her the ballot and the
Like.
The South never had a truer son. He
never believed it was wrong. He never
repented of his course. He was proud of
his Confederate record and among his last
efforts was urging the preparation of a
history of the Georgia regiments.
The death of this 'folksey" philosopher,
venerable sage, quaint humorist, devoted
Southerner, Christian patriarch and pn-
selfish patriot will be sorely regretted by
hundreds of thousands of men and women
in all portions of the Republic No man
in the South had so many friends and no
man so many readers. He was noble
man-we shall not see his like again.

The negroes who travel are entitled to
good accommodations in separate cars
At eating houses ample provision should
be made in places separate and apart for
serving meals to negroes. They should
not be denied the COMFORTS of travel, but
there should be no mixing. Laws compel
separate cars on the railroads and sep
arate waiting rooms at depots. This in
cident at Hamlet shows that there is need
of law requiring separate places where
negroes may obtain their meals.
The Southern people are actuated in de-
handing this perfect separation OF the
races by no unfriendliness to the negroes.
They wish them to have every right to
which they are entitled and to be af-
forded every comfort for which they pay
But as essential to the preservation Of CIV
ilization and as the best thing Tor both
races, they demand complete separation.
The incident at Hamlet is the first one
in the history of the State. If it is per-
mitted to pass unnoticed and unrebuked,
where will the dangerous innovation
cease? The time to stop it is now. The
people on all the railroads have talked OF
nothing else this week. Travelling men
especially feel outraged by the action and
give expression to their Indignation IN

REDUCE THE TAX RATE .

There is a world of wisdom in the brief
communication of Mr. A. A. Thompson in
today's paper calling upon the city alder
men and county commissioners to make a
careful investigation and try to ascertain
if they cannot reduce the tax rate. The
total increased assessment in Raleigh is
said to be about twenty-five per cent.
There may be few pieces of property as
sessed too high, but if so they are few.
The tax assessors on the whole have not
assessed the property of Raleigh too high.
If the tax levying bodies of the town
and county can see their way clear to de-
creasing the rate of assessment, all will
be WELL 1t can be done. There is way
to do it.
