"Uxtral Uxtra,! A-A-A-n about the
turrible tariff,
For years it has been expected, and 1t
has come at last.
The Congressional Record has issued
what is practically an extra edition. and
extraordinary enterprise was developed
in collecting tie matter II contains.
Representative McCleary was given one
minute on the floor of the House. and
he has produced in type ninety odd
thousand words on the tariff question at
a cost of several thousand collars to
the country at large.
Every known and a lew unknown au-
thorities on the tariff question are
quoted at length inclusive of Dink
Bolts and President Roosevelt. II Mr..
MCCleary missed anything Il was care
fully gathered in by Representative
Olmstead. who also had one minutes
leave. and who produced something like
10000 words To accomplish this, how
ever, he found il necessary 20 use
few thousand words from an address by
Secretary Shaw. in exact duplicate OF
that in Mr.. McCleary's effort.
The one minutes leave was granted TO
the enterprising members Of the staff of
the Record" March Is and April p last.
and up to Saturday they were busily
engaged in writing and revising the
matter contained In the issue.
OF course there is more or less teal
ousy over the issue. Representative
Cowherd. of the Democratic Congress
siOnal Committee, is one who is fndirg
fault. He seems TO have obtained ad-
vance information Of the "uXtra," and
he immediateI forwarded "A letter Of
protest to Public Printer f. w Palmer
complaining that the rules of the game
were being violated in that it shouldn't
take two months to print what a man
said in one minute. and that he doubted
the ability Of even Representative Nc
Cleary to talk al the rate OF $1,000 words
a minute.
Representative Cowherd also asserted
that the "uXtra" is really not for the
purpose of enlighteniDg the public as
to what transpired on the floor Of the
house in debate. for which the old fash
toned people OF the country believe the
Record" is intended. but is a mere
campaign document Of the yellOwest
tint.

Calling attention to the fact that
the leave was granted in the debate on
the bill to allow Alaska a delegate IN
Congress. he says. he cannot see how
this bill had any bearing on the tariff.
and he thinks many ethics have suffered
compound fractures. he ended with
what Representative MCCleary's friends
may call an euvious epistle by protesting
against the issue OF the 'uXtra.' There
Is no use 20 stand In the way OF pro-
gress, however, and the envious protest
was futile. The ''uNtra" came out on

cided TO defend himself from any en-
vious attacks in the future, and he said
today:

gress. Representative McCleary told me
he had the leave. and the records show
that he did l could not stand In the

And really IT seems as Il the issue Of
the "uXtra" did not Overstrp the limits
OF the rules so far as ne is Concerned.

THE CARE THAT PREVENTED A
HORROR.

y train was running away down d
steep grade on Saluda Mountain in
North Carolina. The speed increased
with every foot travelled The air

were helpless, passengers, III Il state
of hopeless fear.
Just at the moment when the worst
was expected the train ran up q short
incline and stopped. Yesterday morn
ing in the New York papers, in place
of the lists of dead and injured that
might have been, there was the story
of how a safety-switch had worked
and had saved many lives.
This was story of preparation

them and has reaped in the happy

When the Slocum took fire in the
East River the first fact revealed
about the boat was lack OF prepara-
ton against the horror then i'm

was happening had been demon
strated many times - with what

CRIME MISS THE WORLDS FAIR

Every person who possibly can do

Fair. Such a trip wonld be worth to
the observant person all it would
cost. 1t would be educational and

try. Let US quote a high authority.
Ferdinand W. Peck, who was vice
president OF the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, and commissioner gen
eral for the United States at the more
recent Paris Exposition, thus speaks
OF the st. Louis Worlds Fair:
81 can freely say that this EXPOSE
ton is on a more colossal scale than
any which preceded it. The grounds
and buildings are larger and the ex-
hibits more complete

Commenting on the incident at
Oyster Bay-the demand Of Il negro
preacher to he shaved at Il white
barber shop-the Charlotte News
says:
President Roosevelt probably now
realizes the force of the old saying
that Curses, like chickens, come
home to roost." When he insisted
upon entertaining Booker Washing
ton at luncheon ut the White House
in 1902, he could not fOresee that
the question would come back in his
campaign for election to plague him
in such an Objectionable shape and
that at his own door. But such is
the case.
This negro preacher was simply
trying at the Presidents place of resi-
dence t. follow the example of social
equality set by the President himself
He undertook with II vengeance to
put the Presidents views upon this
matter to a practical test He failed
i'll this respect, but he succeeded in
giving the country an object lesson
and that under the Presidents own
nOse-of what his obnoxious social
equality ideas logically lead to.
President Roosevelt is said to be
''cOlOr blind, and to believe that the
negro is humanity bound in black, -
but this bold attempt Of a negro
seems to subscribe to his views at his
very home and under the drippings OF
the sanctuary to put those views
into effect must have been a nauseOus
dose for him to take.
The managers of the Republican
campaign would probably give a
great deal had the incident not oc.
Cured, but they cannot escape the
natural consequences of the Presi
dent, own act. The wind has been
SOwn and the whirlwind must be
reaped. Lo, the poor negro has
arisen to feed them their own medi
cine out of their own spoon.

The South as Leader.


Charlotte Observer.
Mr.. A. B. Williams, editor OF the
Richmond News Leader, who attend
ed the st. Louis convention, tele-
craphed this among other things to
his paper:
.:One thing | have learned here is the
opportunity and necessity for the South
to come to the front and take control
and direction OF the Democratic party
I am cosmopolitan and not sectional in
nv judgments, and inclined always to
give the South the worst of it. by allow
ing for my natural prejudices. | have
mixed rather intimately in the politics OF
several Southern and several Northern
States and here in Ia national convention.
NV deliberate conclusion is that there is
no Southern State which could not fur
nish leaders incomparably superior to
Hill and Bryan, who appear here at the
heads of the respective factions OF the
party-superiOr in statecraft, in breadth,
| finesse management, strategy, and all
the elements of leadership. Asfor oratory
there is hardly Southern community
| which could not furnish better examples
of it than we have had here, excepting
Mr.. Bryan. He is an orator and de-
| lightful speaker, but | could not see that
he did much yesterday with strong
case. As for Menzies, Of Indiana, and
Quinn, who spoke for the other side, they
seemed to me to fail utterly. The solid
| South here has given the convention its
strength, force and conservatism, has
! held it steady, has done the thinking;
and it will furnish the bulk of the vote.
| 1t is the party backbone and it should
control the party. A plain looking Irish
| delegate from Illinois yesterday put the
| matter plainly when he said: The States
| that back Parker are the States that
| WILL give us the votes and they ought to
have the say"
In nonational convention since the
| Civil War has the South been SO con-
| spicuOus as it was in that OF last
| week. A Southern man was temper
airy chairman and another permanent
| chairman: a Southern man furnished
| the original draft of the PLATFORM; a
| native SOutherner nominated the
successful candidate for the nomina-
ton and anative and resident South
erner seconded the nomination.
These are merely a few OF the promi-
nent facts, and they Indicate that
the South is coming again to it's own.
1t has been ever true that in this
country it is the Southern men who
have the genius of politics. AS the
memories of the war of forty years
ago fade away, they are coming more
and more into command again.

Where North Carolina Made a Mistake
Raleigh Times.

KaltlGn lllnes.
1t has been very pleasant to note
what a prominent part the South
took in the late Democratic cOnven-
ton at st. Louis. This convention
made history that coming genera
lions will read with pride and salts
faction. But as North Carolinians,
we took no part in the high class per-
formances. Virginia had her Daniel,
South Carolina her Tillman, Missis-
sippi her Williams, Texas her Bailey.
These men constituted the batteries,
and it becomes us to tell the truth
and own up that we didn't have a
man equal to the occasion in our
North Carolina delegation at large
We had the men all right. Men who
could have taken their places by any
of these whom we have mentioned,
but they were not on the delegation.
We mention this in order that we
may never repeat the same blunder
Aycock, Simmons, Overman and
Stedman ought to have been our
delegates at large, if they had been
tho record SO far as North Carolina
is concerned would read different
Not that the delegation whom we
| sent are not most excellent gentle
men; they never made them any bet
ter, but at time like that at st.
Louis, you have no time to be intro
ducing men to the convention; they
! must be known already, and have
sufficient reputation to carry them to
the front. We ought to say here, we
got in the case OF the delegates at
large, what we advocated; we op-
posed the "big four and asked for a
distribution of the honors We
thought this was right and Just and
it was from one point of view, but
certainly itwa not the correct thing
to do. Hereafter we are for the
strongest, the best known. the most
influential men in the State to repre-
sent the State in the National con
| vcntiOn, and it matter not whences
they come nor what honOrs they
have previously enjoyed. This we
consider our reasonable advice to-
ward our State.

elimination of financial error as a
disturbing influence in Democratic
councils.
The national Democracy enters
upon the campaign not in gloom
and fear, but in hope and conf
dence
[ believe that no man ever did SO
much for the cause, in SO many direc-
lions in so short a time and in SO
compact a form, as was done by our
candidate when he sent his message
to the st. Louis convention. He has
reminded all who profess Democratic
principles that they have also work
to do if they, like him, would do the
patriotic political duty the time de-
mands.
Let the Democratic line be steadied
at every point, and let our splendid
leadership lie followed with genuine
Democratic zeal and stubbOrnness.

WILL SELECT SITE FOR
NEW NORMAL SCHOOL

Tenton, May 5:-The grounds and
buildings committee of the State
Board of Education will meet Friday
of next week to receive offers of sites
for the new Normal School in the
northern part of the State as provided
for by the last legislature. The fol
lowing day the committee will in
speot the sites offered and at the June
meeting will make the final selection.
The State has appropriated $500. 00C
for the purpose. Of which amount
$25, 900 is to be used for a site. AS no
provision is made for boarding
quarters the site to be chosen must be
n easily accessible by trolley and
other ways to the largest number of
day pupils.
The law provides that the school
shall not DO within the restricted dis
tricts of n city, but shall be in q
suburban district.
