THE GREENSBORO CONVENTION

The Democratic State Convention at
Greensboro ought to embrace two
days, so that ample time could pc
given to the consideration of the plat
form. the nomination of candidates,
and other important business. But it
is a mistake to say that the session
will certainly embrace two days. That
is a matter for the convention itself to
determine No power in the party
can limit the duration or fix the order
CO business for that gathering. Lit is
supreme under the laws formulated.
The executive committee by a unan-
imous vote has recommended an or
der of business to the convention
which should be adopted. The resolu-
ton adopted by the State Committee
is as follows, to-wit:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Democratic Executive Committee.
that the order of business in the next
State Convention be as follows:
l.. Organization.
g Adoption of resolutions and plat
form.
8. Election of delegates to the Ma
tlonal Convention.
4. Nomination of candidates.
Resolved further, That the State
chairman be directed to embody the
above recommendation in his call for
the State Convention.
Under this order of business, it
the part of wisdom for the
m to fix a session of two
if the gubernatorial contest
avn out it would be impos-
fish the work under two days
are to have a repetition of
rous all-night sessions that
are dangerous to wise action.
Let the convention defer the NOM
ination of the State ticket until the
second day, and then, with the decks
cleared, that important work can be
done while the delegates are fresh and
i'll humor to think more about the
good of the party than the personal
ambitions of any favorite candidate

A HIGH HONOR WORTHILY BE-
STOWED.

Mercer University of Georgia has
conferred the degree of LII. d., on
President Charles E. Taylor of Wake
Forest College. Under his wise and
aggressive administration Wake For
est has taken high rank among South
ern colleges. The enrolment of stu
dents in 1885, when DR.. Taylor became
president, was IA. For the session
that closed last month the enrolment
has increased to 32S. DR.. Taylor has
succeeded in impressing the hundreds
of young men who have come under
his instruction with high ideals of
character and an abiding loyalty to the
best traditions and aspirations of the
State He is the embodiment of graz
ciousness of manner, conservatism in
religion, and sensible progress in edu-
cational policies. No fad" in educa-
ton, no "heresy'' in religion, no
'crankism" in politics has emanated
from Wake Forest College. 1t has
been open to truth, to investigation,
TO progress in all lines, but has not lost
its faith in the old fashioned religion
or in the fundamentals. Much of this
is due to the wisdom of it's scholarly
president. May he long live to guide
the destinies of the institution for
which he. has done so much!

the majority holder the Judge named
a receiver. The editor criticised this
action. His punishment for contempt
| was based upon section 1875 of the
| Federal statutes. which permits this
summary penalty by a court when the
contempt cited tends to obstruct the
administration of justice. Judge
Fritchard could find nothing in the
EDITORS comments to warrant regard
ing them as obstacles to court admin
lstration. The manifest view was that
personal resentment actuated the
judge.
1t will be a sad day for the Ameri-
can people when comment upon a jul
dicial act. if it be couched in respect
full language, and of evident worthy
motive. subjects anybody to arbitrary
punishment by the court aggrieved.
Since the famous Ziegler case arose in
this States colonial past the question
of contempt of court and it's indissolu-
BILE question of freedom of the press
have confronted the people at long in
terValS, but each has been invariably
determined in favor of the accused
eventually. A ribald attack upon the
judiciary or a slanderous abuse, or
other conceivable form of unwarrant-
ed comment, has each its proper rem
edy without seeking to extend the true
limits of contempt beyond real OBJ
struction of an insult perpetuated in
the presence of the court, or what is
essentially it's presence. Otherwise no
fantastic stretch of the imagination
would be required to construe Justice
Harlan's dissenting opinion in the
trial by jury case as contempt of the
court therein constituted by his eight
colleagues. His criticisms were sharp
and unqualified, and we take it that
this North Carolina editors remarks
were feeble in comparison. So merci-
less was that dissent that it served to
recall to one editors mind that Sena-
tor Mitchell, of Oregon, opposes publ
cation of minority court opinions. But
is it not better that the people should
learn both sides of great law ques-
tons, that they may be their political
action reverse courts, if the good of
the Republic demanded?

Last week the Sunday school of OK
ford held their annual picnic at Pull
len Park in Raleigh and had a delight
full outing. The people of Raleigh
were glad to welcome them and hope
they will come again. On June 20th
a large excursion will be run to Raj
eigh from Wilmington. During the
summer no doubt many other schools
and towns will send large delegations
to Raleigh for a day picnicking and
outing.
Raleigh is the ideal place for Sun
day school picnics, excursions and out
ing parties from all parts of the state,

all to come.

DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

For some years in North Carolina il
has not been the custom to hold the
Congressional Conventions until after
the State and National Conventions
are held In view of this fact a Gus
tom has grown up of electing the del
egates to the National Convention
from the ten Congressional districts at
the State Convention. This custom,
made necessary because the
conventions in the Congressional dis
tricts were not held in time
to permit the election of delegates,
has produced confusion in the
minds of some Democrats. Simply to
state how the custom of electing at
the State Convention grew up is to
show that the plan heretofore prevail
inc was a makeshift adopted because
of the impossibility of electing by Con-
gressional districts.
This year every Congressional dis
trict except one will be held before
the State convention, and each district
convention will elect delegates to the
National Convention at the same time
that it dominates {. candidate for Con-
gress and Presidential elector. The
Eighth district will elect at Green's
boro because the Congressional Con-
vention will not be held until August
The election ought properly to be held
in the district and would be held there
hut for the delay in holding the Con-
gressional Convention.

Spirit of the Press.
North Carolina a Pretty Serious Pro-
position.

position.
Houston (Texas) Post.
The clash. with the Federal judiciary
over in North Carolina has stirred the
usually self-possessed Tar-Heels as
they have not been stirred since the
Wilmington riot, which led to the re-
tirement of the negro as political
factor in that neck of the woods.
And incidentally, Judge Purnell is
learning through experience of the
most dramatic kind that judicial tyr
amy will never be endured by the
public opinion of the United States.
= > + =
The litigation started by the New
York stockholders to all appearances
was an effort on the part of sharp Re
publican politicians to take the prop
erty of the people of North Carolina
for the purpose of exploitation. One
of the men Judge Purnell appointed
as receiver lived in another State and
was under indictment for felony. The
facts show that in view of the action
of the State officials to reform all
abuses connected with the operation
of the property, there was no occasion
whatever for a receivership.
Daniels, therefore, in his capacity
as editor of the leading newspaper of
the State, criticised the action of the
court in appointing man already UNI
der indictment for felony, and assert
ed that there was no justification of
the receivership on any ground what
ever. Then the judge imposed upon
him a $4,000 fine.
While the editor was in the court
room, after the fine had been imposed,
remarkable scene occurred. Scores
of citizens crowded around him and
piled rolls of bills and checks in his
lap, while the judge was rapping for
order in the court, and the editor de-
clined the proffered assistance, left the
room in custody of the marshal and
proceeded to grind out copy just as
fearlessly as before.
When the order of Chief Justice
Fuller came directing the return of
the railroad to the State. Judge Pur-
nell believed the order was not legal
and he expressed the opinion that the
receivers might refuse to turn the
property over. Now see what Gov
ernor Aycock did. He ordered the
State officers to demand the property
of the reeivers who refused to turn it
over. Then the Governor acted. He
ordered the sheriff to GUST the reeiv-
ers and to use whatever force was
necessary, and if ordinary force was
not sufficient he promised the entire
military power of North Carolina
would be brought to the officers as
siStance.
All of this shows that the State of
North Carolina is a pretty serious pro-
position when her toes are trampled
upon. 1t has been long time since
there was such a clash between State
and Federal authorities, but it is clear
the State was in the right, that the
Federal judge was in the wrong and
that the criticism of Editor Daniels
was justified.
We take off our hat to North Caro-
| line, to Governor Aycock and to Edi-
| tor Daniels. And here's our best to
| Chief Justice Fuller, who stands by a
sovereign State in its right to pro-
| tect it's own property from Republi-
can grafters, and to Judge Pritchard,
| who stands for the integrity of Ameri-
can citizenship and the freedom of the
press.

A VERY GOOD WEEK
Chopping of Cotton is
Nearly Over.
Corn Promises a Good Crop---Mheat
Ripening Rapidly, With Good Yield
Fruit Prospects Are
Ea;r

| The Weekly Crop Bulletin of the
North Carolina section of the United
States Climate and Crop Service for the
week ending Monday, June 10, 1904,
says:
1.-The past week on the whole was
very favorable for the growth of all
crops and for general farm work. The
! first part of the week was dry ana
| warm with maximum temperatures
ranging in the nineties; there were
| also light thunder showers in few
| localities, which were exceedingly
| beneficial. On Friday, the 10th, there
| was a general rain, being in excess
! of two inches in some places. 1t was
| accompanied by hail in a few places,
doing, however, very little serious
damage With the beginning of this
| rain the weather turned cool and
! temperatures remained quite low dur
| ing the remainder of the week, retard-
| ing slightly the growth of crops, and
! leaving the soil in a condition too wet
| for further cultivation.
Cotton is everywhere in excellent
| condition; it is being worked the sec
! ond time. and chopping is nearly over.
| Corn is ploWed the second time; it is
| doing fairly well and promises to be
| good crop. Wheat is ripening rapidly.
! Harvesting will probably begin next
week in the western part of the State;
while in the eastern counties 1t is al
ready in progress. The yield is every
where good, and much better than
was expected the straw is short, has
a good color and is well headed. Oats
are doing we'll, but the crop is not
very promising. Irish potatoes are be-
ing dug and marketed in the eastern
part of the State the yield is below the
average. Prospects for fruit are fair.
Apples are dropping in some places.
Dewberries are being picked and some
are on the market

No Public Official Above Criticism.
Lynchburg News.


Josephus Daniels, editor of the
News and Observer, is the hero of the
hour. He is the champion of the free
dom of the press. He had the temer-
ity to critieiSe Judge Purnell, and for
this offense the judge imposed upon
him a fine of $4,000 and denied him
the right of appeal, but Judge Pritch-
ard has overruled Judge Purnell and
has released Mr. Daniels from the fine
and in SO doing rebuked the arrogance
of Judge Purnell and indicated the
great American principle of the free
dom of the press. If the press is not
free, the citizens will not be free long.
II is not possible for despotiSm to es-
tablish itself in any country that en-
joys the blessings of a free press
Public opinion is more potent than
law, and the press is the exponent of
public opinion. Without it public
opinion could not make itself effective.
Rome had no public press and for
that reason the republic was changed
to a deSpotism.
One can hardly imagine that the
empire of the Caesars could have been
established if there had been ten
thousand daily newspapers in the en-
pire freely expressing the sentiments
of the people. In this free country no
public official is above criticism, not
even the President himself. Every
day the acts of President Roosevelt
are criticised and condemned by in
Vulnerable free newspapers. If the
President is subjected to such treat
ment, how could a petty Judge hope to
escape unscathed when his conduct
was disapproved by his fellow citizens.
Josephus Daniels deserves vote of
thanks for his championship of a
cherished right of free American cit
liens The liberty of the press may
be abused, but it is better to endure
that partial evil than to abate it by
destroying the very foundation of
which liberty rests. Judge Pritchard,
too, deserves commentator for his
ruling in harmony with American in
situations.

Improvement in Cotton.
(By the Associates Press. }

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, June 14.-The Wealth
er Bureaus weekly summary of cror
conditions says:
A further Improvement in cotton is
generally indicated throughout the
belt. In portions of Louisiana, Texas
and Oklahoma, however, fields are
becoming foul, while the crop is ia
need of rain in portions of Alabama.
In the central and eastern districts the
plant continues small. but is now
growing rapidly. Boil weevils are
still numerous in southwestern and
central cotton counties in Texas and
in some sections are doing considera-
BILE damage.
Transplanting tobacco in the more
northerly sections is we'll advanced,
and that recently planted is making
a fine start. The general condition of
this crop is very satisfactory.
