THE NEW YORK PAPERS IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
New York Evening Post. }

The Herald's striking editorial OF
this morning, i'm OutSpOkcn repudla-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt, is another proof
of the dissatisfaction of the mctrOpoli-
tan press with the President. After
three years experience with him. the
Herald. Sun, Times. tStaats-Zeitung,
World. Brooklyn Eagle and Evening
Post have been compelled to oppose
his reelection, though they all sup
ported Mckinley. ( 1t is unusual for
the Herald to take up its position SC
early in the campaign. But there is
nothing uncertain about its note this
morning. Despite the mud-throwing
of the Republican organs, ii finds that
Judge Parker's telegram "has won the
confidence of the people, and that sort
CT confidence Mr.. Roosevelt has not in
spired." Acknowledging the latter to be
irreprOachablc personally, the Herald
declares that conservative people
doubted his capacity for self-control,
diStrust his Judgment and question his
conception of Presidential Duties"
which leads him to think himsel "a
sort of Dictator This change OF feel
ing among the newspapers of this city
shows very clearly that it is the Re-
publican party upon which now rests
the burden Of proof that il is suffi-
GENTLY sane and safe to be intrusted

finds mysterious access to the closed
room, where in sweet fancy, she
makes a world and life of her own
hat borders so closely on the life be-
yond that the reader follows her to
the vanishing point of the world of
things into that spirit land of beauty
with breathless interest
The sweetness and charm of thl3
alluring little fantasy of childhooi
are much enhanced by the illustra-
tons in color by Jessie Wilcox Smith

Two of the happiest and most fasci-
mating writer's in North Carolina are
not engaged in newspaper work at
all. They are Rev. Hight G.. Moore.
Of Raleigh, and Mr.. John Charles Me
Neill, of Laurinburg. The latter, in
addition to his uncommon gifts, is
poet of rare endowment. 1t is farther
curious that none of our enterprising
dailies have pressed either of these
gentlemen into regular service.
One of the greatest statesmen of
the age is John Sharpe Williams, of
Mississippi. Men of all parties can
take pride in his rapid rise to the
foremost place among the public men
of America, for he is too broad and
big a man to take warped and narrow
views of national questions. Like the
giants of the past, he belongs to all
sections OF our common country.

himself as others see him, is a very

Beauty and Love.

Beauty is the child of Love
What he looks upon is fair,
Though it be an empty glove
Or a lock of faded hair.
Where he lights, the sunshine plays;
Round about him flowers bloom;
Spring, for him, lengthens her days.
Scattering all her rich perfume.
Work, if sweetened by his smile,
Is as light as heart of boy
When he, rowing mile on mile,
Takes the world but for his toy.
Love may do whate'er he WILL
Play his tricks, or sullen grow,
Beauty is his shadow still,
Following him where doth he go.
Let the tickle god depart
All that's fair in darkness dies,
For of all he is a part
And alone all beauties.
