BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH.
The Charlotte News Makes Pre-
diction About Bryan.

Allen White, the famous Kansas
journalist, writing for Golfers Week
Ily has this 10 say OF Bryan's great
speech before the Democratic ccnven-
tion:
It must be considered one Of the
memorable orations Of this prosy unor.
atOEical day. It has been said that
some words are 50 moment0us that
they become deeds. BryaD's were such.
AS he talked, the purple shadows OF
1.-The coming day were seen through
the windows, and before be closed the
dawn was gray about him. He stood
there surrendering his power, that
had come to his youth so suddenly.
He had carried the banner Cf social
Democracy In America further than
any other man had carried it. 1t is
not free silver that Bryan stands for,
and be knew it, in the breaking day.
when his party told him to stand
aside. He believes that his idea
whether he defnes it clearly or not
is immateriaD is important to the
welfare OF his country. Probably he
is wrong; but as he stood there sadly
appealing to his party for his old
cause, which he knew was a lost cause,
he seemed bidding farewell long
farewell-to all the power and glory
that has teen the breath Of his
nostrils. He has lived cleanly, and
has acted fairly and squarely accord
ing to his lights. He is the idol of
that party, OF bis branch Of his party,
which stood fer bis ideas. These
men live in the middle west. Thous-
ands of them came many hundred
miles to see him surrender, and he
quit like gentlemen with his colors
flying.
The editor of The News is not what
night be called Bryan Democrat
though We are all plain Democrats
now, and is at the farthest removed
from Populism. But We desire to
make a prediction that may be con-
veniently remembered If it comes
true, to this effect:
lfParker is elected be will probably
be reelected for the second term.
What the country needs today is a
man OF the Parker type and he will
personally grow more popular instead
of less as was the fate OF his last
Democratic predecessor in that high
office. But Parker is not the type Of
a man that is called 'reformer."
Eight years from now it is not i'm
possible that the trust issue, inVolV-
ing the transportation issue, will
have become the over-shadowing oce.
Say what one pleases about govern
ment ownership Of railroad and tele-
graph lines, when the question mar
rows to this, whether they shall own
the government or the government
them, the people will be quick enough
to decide, and to decide right. In
brief, we should not be surprised to
see as opposing candidates in 1912
chasened Roosevelt and an older
Bryan confronting each otter, and
that the Democratic platform OF that
day will contain such a radical plank
against the trusts, and the tyranny
and discrimination OF the railroads,
as that the people will look to Bryan
to carry out their will. At any rate,
those who have been preaching bis
funeral are a little premature. Char

VISITS THE PRESIDENT.
A Scantily Glad Delegation of Fill
pinos Call on Him.

Picturesquely, cut not quite ade
quately garbed, a party of eight Mori
Igorrote chiefs, constituting part Of
the Philippine exhibit at the St. Louis
exposition, Tuesday paid their re-
spects to President Roosevelt at the
White House. The exchanges be-
tween the chiefs and the president
we're informal, but happy in their
tone.
Through Antero, bright Is year
old Igorrute boy, who acted as inter
prefer, the Moro datos and Igorrote
chiefs expressed their pleasure at be-
ing received by the president and told
him that he might depend upon their
loyalty to the American government.
President Roosevelt, after shaking
hands with each one Of bis little
brown visitors, replied that he was
glad OF the opportunity to greet them,
to welcome them to the national capi-
tai and to assure them that the Amer
ican government desired to promote
their welfare, prosperity and content
ment.
AS the presidents kindly express
sions were interpreted to them by An
tero, the datos and chiefs nodded
their heads in approval and smiled
their thanks. The reception took
place in the presidents private Office
and adjoining the cabinet room.
While it was in progress, the members
of the cabinet arrived to attend the
regular semi-weekly meeting. Each
in turn was presented to the Filipinos
who paid them the highest respect
known to their people. Before the
conclusion Of the reception, the chiefs,
through Antero, presented to the
president some handsome native gifts,
including curiously carved metallic
pipes, a beautifully embellished spear
and two shields, one Of closely woven
native grass and the other Of WOOD
covered with hide.
After they left the executive offices
the Filipinos were shown through
the lower apartments Of the White
House. The Moros were garbed in
native costume of brilliantly colored
japanese silk blouse and tightly ft-
ting trousers, all elaborately figured,
and wore turbans of the same materi-
al twisted loosely about their heads.
The Igorrotes wore complete suits Of
spo;less white duck, relieved by orien-
tai Scarfs of brilliant colorS. The
visitors were taken to the war depart
ment and driven in car. iageS to all
nubljc buildinpS.

4 Macon Hotel Man Up Against the
Real Article.

tIeai .4EtfCie.
A dispatch from Macon, Ca, to the
Augusta Chronicle says Proprietor
Ben. L. Hendricks, of the Park hote?,
Wednesday morning swore out a war
rant in the city court for Wv.
Craig, one OF his guests, who has de-
parted for parts unknown and who
has not paid the proprietor his billfcr
lodging since last Wednesday.
From what can be judged Craig is
Cne Of the Smoothest citizens that
ever visited the Central City. He
came to this place last Wednesday
and said that be WIS an expert
chafsur representing the New York
Safety Steam Power company, and
that he intended to give free ex-
hioition for the benefit Of the people
who ride in these parts. He did not
have his machine and said that it
would arrive in a few days He took
particular pains to have a number Ct
persons about the hotel hear him
Uelephoning to the freight department
Of the Southern railway and asking
them to change the route Of his racing
auto which had been billed through
mistake by way Of New Orleans.
He also hur!iedly opened letter in
the hotel Wednesday in the presence
of Mr.. Hendricks and others, from
which he produced a check for s9S. 66.
This be asked the hotel man to cash.
But Mr.. Hendricks vas wise. He
telegraphe about the New York
Safety Steam Power company and was
told by one bank that no such essao-
liShment was known.
Craig, however, was able to borrow
a few dollars on the strength OF the
check. Later, however, he gave a
draft on the concern. The wires were
used and nothing satisfactory was
learned. In the meantime things
were getting so warm on the track of
Craig that he disappeared Tuesday
night some time or early Wednesday
morning. The police Of the various
cities and towns Of the state have
been notified to look out for Craig.

Frightened by Explosion.

By the explosion OF stick Of dyna-
mite under car Of the Tazewell Elec-
trio company, at Tazewell, Tuesday
afternoon dozen or more people were
placed in jeopardy Of their lives. The
dynamite was put into the tange OF
the track by unknown persons and
when the explosion occurred the pas
sengers, numbering about half a dozen
ladies and about as many men, were
panic stricken, but no one was injured
beyond being severely shocked. The
car was so badly damaged that the
passengers had to be transferred in
hacks and taken hastily to the train.
The affair caused a good deal OF ex-
citement in the neighborhood. There
is no clue to the perpetrators OF the
crime.

LIMITATIONS OF POWER.


Occasionally, by reason of unneces-
sary or impatient agitation for re-
forms, or because the limitations
placed upon the departments Of Coy
eminent by the Constitution are dis
regarded by officials desiring to accom-
plish that which to them seems good,
whether the power exists in them or
not, it becomes desirable to call atten-
tion to the fact that the people, in
whom all power resides, have seen ht,
through the medium Of the Constltu-
tion, to limit the governmental pow
ers conferred and to say to oepartr
ments created by it: "Thus far shalt
thou go and no farther" To secure
the ends sought the people have by
the Constitution separated and dis
tributed among the three depart
ments Of Government-the executive,
legislative and judicial certain pow
ers and it is the duty OF those admins
tering each department so to act as to
preserve, rather than to destroy, the
potency Of the coordinate branches Of
the Government, and thus secure the
exercise Of all the powers conferred by
the people.
