Here is n genuine republican kick
from the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can: The idea that Fairbanks could
do other than chill Rooseyelt's popu-
larity and blight republicanism is pre-
posterous. He is an icecold nature.
His manner is repellant. He is abso-
lutely lacking i'll the essential quality
of personal magnetism. AS a public
speaker he is dreary and monotOnOus.
His public record is void of act TO com
mend him to the people. Charles W.
Fairbanks has, in short, nothing TO
recommend him for the vice presiden-
tial Office except a bulging bank ac-
count, and if the Chicago convention
is asked TO nominate him as Roose-
velt's running mate it should for
the sake of the party, emphatically
refuse"

That Federal Crowd" at Chicago.

The national republican convention
will be held this week. commencing to-
morrow in Chicago. The signs of the
times indicate that the convention will
be dominated by the present federal
crowd" which is and has been follow
ing a policy of monopolizing every
thing
The preliminary action relative to
contests and prospective contests has
been marked by much unfairness and
the same stain of prejudice that
proved so important and detestable a
factor in the republican state conven-
tion in Illinois.
When contests are TO be acted upon
the sole question that is taken into
consideration apparently is this:
How do the contestants stand reia
tive to the federal crowd? Are they
for or against"
The negative or affirmative answer
TO this question decides all contests
That federal crowd" is a powerful
crowd and a dangerous crowd.

FIGHT ON FOURTEENTH
PAVING Is COMMENCED

Hearing of the objections as TO the
legality of the ordinance passed by
the city council under the new special
assessment law for the paving of
Fourteenth avenue from Thirtieth
street east to the municipal limits was
commenced in the county court at
O'Clock this afternoon before Judge E.
f. Parmenter.
Should the court rule that the or
dinance is legally sound, then the
question of benefits will be submitted
to jury for determination. The as
.sessment roll has Deen prepared and
the cost of the improvement is spread
beyond the property fronting on either
side of the street on the ground that
the territory for several blocks north
and south of Fourteenth avenue is
benefited thereby.

Yankee Horses in Germany.

There ought TO be a good market
for American horses in Germany. &C.
cording to Consul General NORMAN
in Munich
The Russian edict forbidding the ex.
pOrtation of horses on account of the
war with Japan has affected several
sections of Germany which have de
pended upon importation OF horses
from Russia. In 1903, 43 600 horses.
valued at S4,O46 600. were imported
into Germany from Russia.
Germany has always been the larg-
est buyer of Russian horses. and if
the edict should continue long in force
United States horse breeders ought to
recover the market for horses. In Ba-
varia horses are imported from Aus
tria Gll Hungary, particularly from
Hungary.
Il believe" says Mr.. NORMAN. that
If United States horse breeders would
make special effort to participate in
the races which usually take place

A candidate for the governorship of
one of the eastern states is conduct
ing a campaign of melody. He takes
a gIee club on his tour and pleases the

would be willing TO dispense with the
melody if they could only have har-
mony. Democrats as well as republ-

1t is stated that Mr.. Davis was the
expressed choice of Judge Parker for
his running mate, and that ought to
be satisfactory t. anyone who may
not have been impressed with the
wisdom OF the choice
Wenotice somepapers emphasizing
Mr.. Davis wealth in connection with
his nomination. This is unjust to
Mr., Davis, as we'll as to the party
which has named him as its candi-
date.
Mr. Hearst thought he could jingle
his coin and hypnotic the country
into voting for him for President, but
the more he scattered his filthy lucre,
the less his prospects grew, if indeed
he ever had any. The doctrine that
money answereth all things" is to
be accepted within proper limitations.
1t will make yellow newspapers, but
yet awhile it will not purchase a
Presidency for the worlds greatest
people.
The greatest element of strength
Mr.. Davis has is the splendid, the
successful life he has lived.

Color Line Coming Home to Roosevelt
Charlotte Observer.

The color line, which President
Roosevelt hat revived SO effectively,
is visible to him now from his own
door. AtOyster Bay, the President s
summer home, last Saturday. Rev.
James L. Gaskins, a colored Metho-
dist preacher, went into the leading
white barber shop and demanded a
shave. This was denied him, but he
persisted and left only under threat
OF being dubbed out. A dispatch on
the subject to the New York CONNER
cial says:
''The pastors attempt to get shaved
in the best barber shop in town was re-
garded by the negroes living in Oyster
Bay, OF whom there are several hundred,
as a test case, and they are greatly
stirred up over the incident, and some of
them are talking of bringing the matter
before the President in one way or
another
Residents here say that the negroes
Of the town have been more forward in
demanding what they want in the last
two years than ever before The minis
ter's attempt is regarded by many here
as carefully planned effort on the part
OF the negroes to give expression to the
declaration of more liberal policy to-
ward them, as set forth in the Republi-
can national platform.
1t is not a bad but a wholesome
thing that the Presidents race pol
icy and that of his party should
have been brought so closely before

The Editor and His Mission.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The editor, who has the highest
conception of his mission, and who
wants to see his paper properly rated
by good people, will not look to
statutes, national nor State, to regu-
late his opinion and his methods of
dealing with public questions. Why
should newspaper man want to be
hedged about by special statutes any
more than the man who talks on the
streets or speaks from the rostrum?
TO say so much about guarding the
liberty OF the press is rather a refec-
tion upon the good sense and gentle
manly instincts of the editors than
anything else. The highest and most
delicate conception of human respon-
sibility is contained in the unwritten
and not the written law. A man NAV
grossly violate the best established
code OF ethics and stillnot transgress
the written law. No man with nor
NAL perceptions will GO to the end of
his legal tether, and an editor can as
little afford to do this as anyone
else
Many things are lawful which are
not eXpedient. If we will only be
true, just and honest in our dealings
with Others, we shall never do vio-
lence to our own best interests. All
of this falling down and worshipping
anybody as the conservator of the
liberty OF the press is simply empty
nothing, when weighed in the dust
less scales of common sense. If an
editor feels called upon to- criticise
the preacher or the Judge, the court
or the church, if he is wise man he
will stay strictly and safely within
the bounds OF the law. He cannot
afford to do otherwise. The greatest
distinction an editor can have is to
be classed with other good, true, we'll
meaning men. The country would
be better Off today if there was no
statute on the law books defining or
IN any way referring to the liberty of
the press.
The newspapers in this country be-
long to individuals, and they are Just
as free, and no freer, than any other
species OF property. They have no
more right to trespass upon the
rights OF others than one farmer has
upon the rights of his neighbor.
An editor ought to be held as
strictly accountable for what he
writes in his paper as if he should
utter it Oh the streets or the high
ways.
The practical carrying out of this
principle would be all the protection
the people would need against the
unwarranted encroachments of the
press, while it would guarantee to
the editor himself every liberty neces-
sary for the expression of his views.
It's in this, as in many other mat
ters. we have too much law, instead
OF not enough.

Out of your whole life give but moment,
All of your life that has gone before,
All to come after it, so you ignore
SO you make perfect the present, condense
In rapture of age, for perfection's endow-
ment.
Thought and feeling and soul and sense
Merged in a moment which gives me at last
You around me for once. YOU beneath me,
above me
Me sure that despite Of time future, time
past,
This tick of our lifetime's one moment you
love me.
How long such suspension may linger All,

The moment eternal, just that and no more
When ecstacys utmost we clutch at the
