The Record of the Party in Power.

New Orleans TimesDemocrat
After all, the issues of a campaign
era decided by the record of the party
in power. and the campaign this fall
will be made on Rooseveltism. The
Chief Executive of the country has left
open SO many points of attack that
there is no occasion of looking else
where for an issue. The campaign this
fall is between the jurist and the
Rough Rider, and the plan of battle
should be pitched along that line. Mr..
Roosevelts militarism, his reopening of
the race question, his paltering with
the great trust problem, and his uncer-
tainty OF character are issues import
ant enough certainly for one campaign.
On these issues every Democrat can
find point of attack, and there is not
the slightest excuse for any hesitation
on the part of any member of any of
the factions of the party in working
steadily in harness with member of
either of the moribund factions. The
time for fractional differences has pass
ed, and a thoroughly reunited party
should confront the common enemy. 1t
is believed that the action of the St .
Louis Convention has brought about a
feeling that will result in entire har-
mony and the polling of the full vote
of the party for the chosen candidates
and for the principles for which he
stands

DECLINED BY DIR. SMITH.
VIII Not Accept Presidency of I'm
Yernfty of Tennessee.

Raleigh. N. c., July 12.-Dr. C. A
Alphonso Smith. associate professor OF
the chair of English at the University
of North Carolina, has declined the Of
fer of the presidency of the University
of Tennessee.
In speaking of the matter In an in
terview. he said:
1T was a call that touched my ambi.
ton in many ways-a call that appeal
ed profoundly to me. But after spend
ing three days or the grounds study
ing the problem at first hand, I came
to the conclusion that my duty for the
present lies with the University of
North Carolina The University of
Tennessee is IN fine shape and has be-
fore 1t a future of great expansion and
usefulness"

THOSE MARINE DISASTERS.

The Advertiser has a friend who be-
lieves that great marine disasters
travel not singly or in pairs, but in
threes. Where he gets his number
from we are sure we do not know.
though he claims that experience
proves it to be q true observation.
When the Slocum calamity occurred, he
looked confidently for the second. Now
that the Norge has been sunk with
is on the lookout for the third. He
says 1t is bound to come and shortly.
OF course this is a puerile notion and
we venture to say as much in spite of
our friends strong belief. 1t would be
just as sensible to say these great ca
lamities follow each other in groups Of
five or seven or eleven. They do not
come upon the race in definite num-
bers, for the simple reason they never
cease to come. Mankind Is appalled,
for an instant, and hurries on its way
to meet new sufferings that must fol-.
low the violation of natures laws. In
the United States we are more indiffer-
ent to human life than in any other
great civilized country. We play with
the unseen powers as IL they were our
special guardians. In the simple mat
ter of deaths through railroad accidents
we lead the world far and away. Ev-
cry year so many children are born in
to the world and the statistician can tell
with striking precision how many Of
these will come to their death on trains
or through the agency Of trains. He
knows that relatively more Of them
will die in this way in the United
States than in the whole of Europe.
Certainly matters can be better or
dered with us. Something can be said
for the unfortunates aboard the Norge
in a fog on a dangerous coast. Their
peril is a proper part of the peril of
those who go down to the sea In ships.
The most skilled navigation quite pos
sibly could not have saved these men,
women and children. This much can
not be said about the Slocum. That
should bring the blush of shame to the
people in authority. To invite those
hundreds of helpless people aboard a
boat imperfectly manned, disgracefully
equipped against disaster, unseaworthy
in fact. was to invite death to take
passage with them. How much have
the people learned from the unexam-
pied loss of life in New York? Moth
ing. we fear. Millions of passengers
will go aboard excursion boats during
the summer. look at the rotten life
preservers and trust to luck. That
seems to be our way in the main. Luck
is good thing. especially when you
have 1t; but good sense, precaution and
foresight will beat luck every time.

1t seems that we are also to have
the help of the red brother in electing
our Presidential ticket. Quanah Par
ker is a noted man among the Co.

said: Me heap Democrat. Big Judge.

nephew; my Indians all Democrats. all

pect any help from the blacks we will
get it from the reds. 1t will be iste-
chate against iste-luste.

Cordele, Ga. July 1.-THE Georgia
Interstate Saw Mill Association held
it's monthly meeting this afternoon and

that they should have their way is to
say that She BLACK and tans" repre-

organization.
The demand from every doubtful
State was to consider the money ques-
ton in itS proper light, as settled.
If any doubt remains the telegram or
Judge Parker and the conventions an
swei settled 1t. The Republican party
cannot now GO before the business men

to vote for the candidate who gives
the most promise of making a safe
conservative residentand say to them
that Democratic success means
q disturbance of the country's finance.
The Republican party has now got to
go before The people and explain Few
things, among them being: Why is 1t
that it's President has no regard for
the laws of the land? Why there Is
dishonesty in the government service!
and why the American laborer and
farmer has to pay more for Ameritc.n
articles he buys for daily use than the
Russian?

live issues, and that is what makes
every Democrat feel that he Is golne
