President Alderman.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch.
There is some difference of opinion
whether or not it is wise for the Uni
versity of Virginia to have a presi-
dent. but the board of visitors have
made no mistake in selecting Dr. Ed
win A. Alderman. of Tulahe Uni
versity, to fill that responsible posi-
tion.
DR.. Alderman is a Southern man,
Southern by birth and education,
and saturated with those distinctive
characteristics of the Southern cava-
lier. Yet, he is not bigoted, narrow
minded or prejudiced. He has gone
out into the wide world and mingled
with educated men of other sections
and other nations and he takes a
broad view of life's duties and of the
general subject of education. Heis a
man of spotless character, he is a
scholar; he is consecrated teacher
and he will not use the position to
which he has been elected, and which,
it is believed, he will accept, as a
means of promoting selfish interests
in other directions, but will give the
best that is in him to the University
and it's affairs.
He is finished orator He is a
man of fascinating manners. In a
word, he is a man in all respects
whom boys may profitably take as
an ideal. In addition, he is the kind
OF man to inspire the affection
and enthusiastic support of his stu
dents.
1t is something in his favor that he
is thoroughly identified with promi-
nent educators and men of means at
the North, who are interested in
Southern education. DR.. Alderman
has the confidence of these men, and
he will make friends of them to the
institution over whose affairs he has
been called to preside He is an at
traction in himself, and the Univer-
sity will get the benefit of his popu-
larity.
On the other hand the University
will be of immeasurable benefit to
him. 1t is no disparagement to say
that the University of Virginia is dis
tinctly the leading university of the
South. 1t has a reputation and a
prestige enjoyed by no other South
ern institution of learning, and it will
necessarily inspire its president to
the noblest exertion and develop all
the latent greatness OF his char
acter.
We bespeak for him the hearty CO.
operation of the members of the
faculty, of the University Alumni AS
sociations everywhere, of the stu
dents, and of the Virginia public, and
not the Virginia public only, but the
people of the South and of the United
States. There is an opportunity un-
der DR.. Alderman; ;; administration to
make the University fulfill the promise
of Mr.. Jefferson and realize the fond
est hopes of it's affectionate Alumni.

Raleigh News and Observer.

Raleigh News and Observer
1t is not too much to say that the
great meeting held in Raleigh on Fri
day night to voice the protest of the
Christian sentiment of North Caro-
lima against loose divorce laws was
the most important gatheringin this
State during the present year. The
speakers represented four OF the chief
religious denominations of the State
and their declarations will be ap-
plauded by all creeds and those be-
longing to no church who believe
that the home is the mud-sill upon
which our civilization rests. If the
sanctity OF the home be destroyed, if
marriage is a mere matter OF con-
venience, if courts must grind out
divorces ''while you watt" it takes
no seer to prophesy the loss of those
high qualities and that sterling char
acter that makes a noble and a great
home-loving people. No nation has
grown to greatness and preserved it's
greatness unless the home has been
the foundation upon which it was
built.
The increase in the number of di-
vorces in North Carolina, the grow
ing laxity of the laws, and the ap-
parent readiness to submit to the re-
sulting evils has alarmed the best
and wisest leadership, in both church
and State in this good Common
wealth. The press and the pulpit
have quickened the conscience of the
people and the time has come when
the home-loving, Christian people of
North Carolina have resolved to put
an end to the unscriptural laws that
are a blot upon our statute books.
The changes in the laws have been
made insidiously and gradually-the
way that wrong always creeps in. 1t
is only by reading the reports of the
divorce mills that the people have
understood the full effect of the nice
sounding laws that have let down
the bars.
The concensus of opinion at this
meeting Oh Friday mig int seemed to
be that the demand should be made
and insisted upon for the repeal of
all amendments to the divorce law of
the State, passed since the ratifica-
tion of The Code. In reality there
are causes permitted by The Code
that ought not to exist in q civilized
community
1t is to be hoped that the good in
fluences of this meeting will be felt in
every section of the State, and that
every good man and woman in the
State will be fully enlisted to secure
the repeal of all lax divorce laws.
Victory will only be won by earnest
effort and pressing this important
matter upon the hearts and con-
sciences of the people, The contest
in the last Legislature was lost by
the opponents to easy divorce laws,
by a narrow margin. There are many
plausible arguments, many of them
based upon some special case of pecu-
liar hardship, which will be brought
forward by those who will oppose Il
return to the old laws. The best way
to meet and answer these specious
pleas is by showing that the heart
and conscience of the State are fully
aroused to save the home. When
that fact is so apparent as to make
itself felt, no Legislature will refuse
to wipe off those disgraceful amend
ments to our divorce laws.

HENDERSON, N. c., THURSDAY, JUNE 80,

an investigation was to be inaugur-
ated, this man ordered the investi-
cation to stop, and it was stopped.
When the bill was introduced in Con-
gress providing pensions for certain
Union soldiers this man declared,
through his pension commissioner,
that the provisions of the bill were
| already law without the consent of
the Senate or the House of Repre-
sentatives. He has bartered away
every political principle he ever pos
sessed to make himself President.
While he was Governor of New York
he declared that the trusts were Grim
inals, but after he became President
he gave the trusts place in his cabi-
net; and before the campaign is over
he will make the trusts put up money
to debauch the American electorate
At one time in his life he was a free
trader. Now he quietly stands by
and permits the trusts to punish the
American people for making them
great and powerful by charging them
more for their goods than they do
foreigners.
Not one single pledge in the plat
form OF his party has been performed
by his administration. Hepromised
to suppress the trusts, but instead
of suppressing them he has gone
into copartnership with them. His
party promised to pass some legis-
lation shutting out pauper immi-
grants, but absolutely nothing has
been done.
His party promised to enact legis-
lation in the interest of American
commerce on the seas, but absolute
ly nothing has been done and Ameri-
can ships carry smaller per cent. of
the worlds commerce today than
they did 100 years ago.
But what is the use to continue
this discussion? lam about to break
my promise. l am tempted to make
a speech. l honestly believe that if
| our party acts wisely at st. Louis
we can elect the next President Of the
United States What sort of a man
should be nominated? The question
suggests it's answer-the extreme OPP
posite of Theodore Roosevelt. We
must not nominate man who has
bolted the Democratic ticket in the
past, nor must we nominate a man
who threatens to bolt the Democratic
ticket now. We want no dictators
in the party. The political dictator
is peculiarly Republican institu-
ton.
Let US put forward safe, conser-
vative, clean candidate. With the
record of the great young man who
is Governor of this State behind us,
with State administration abso-
lutely free from all suggestions OF
scandal, with a National platform
declaring to the world the eternal
principles OF right. the party to which
We are all proud to belong ought to
win not only in the State but in the
| nation as we'll.

TYNER'S TOUCHING APPEAL.
The Aged Man, Acquitted by the
Courts, Pleads for Justice at the
:iaDds of tho President-WiIt the
Chief Magistrate Turn Deaf Ear?

Raleigh Post
The President of the United States
occupies an unenviable position in
the case OF General James N. Tyner.
The old man (Tyner) is evidently ap-
preaching the grave and he makes
an earnest appeal for justice. The
following paragraph, from the old
mans appeal to the president, is
touching:
''My remaining hours are few, and
though my house is in order with a
clear conscience, I await from day to
day the irrevOcable summons: never
theless | cannot close my eyes with
out first appealing to you, Mr.. Presi-
dent, as my chief accuser, to en-
deavor, in SO far as you can, to right
the great wrong which you have un-
Willingly done me-
The Atlanta Journal, commenting
on the case, says:
"The whole affair is deplorable, the
more so because it is generally be-
lieved the president was sincere in
his efforts to run down the criminals
in the post office department. But
he went out of the line of his authori-
ty when he constituted himself Judge
and jury to condemn Tyner before
the courts had heard the evidence or
sifted the charges against him. 1t is
clearly a case wherein the accused
has been vindicated by the law and
the accuser, Theodore Roosevelt,
convicted on the charge of being en-.
tirely too impetuous and -officious to
hold the office of president of this
justice-lOving nation
The only course the president can
justly pursue is to give back to
Tyner the good name to which he is
now clearly entitled under the law
and for which he is now publicly ap
pealing.
And SO it is, most deplorable
situation. General Tyner has been
tried and acquitted, and that, too
in court OF justice presided over by
Judge Pritchard. He has had his
day in court, and according to the
law of the land has established his
luuOCeuCc VI any CTliIlc OF ulSCOI
| duct in office. The jury promptly
and without hesitation, pronounced
him not guilty, on all the indict
ments. This being the case, th'
president will prove himself to be .
smaller man than even his strOngest
opponents have thought if he per
sists in Withholding from this aget
and feeble man the good name TO
which he pleads.
This is truly a iustice-loving nation
and the sad case in point will appea
strongly to the nations sense Of jus
tice When the courts have spokel
how can the average man be censuret
for crying out against their DEGREES
when the chief magistrate OF tn
union will sit calmly and permit a.
injustice to a fellow-citizen, after tn
courts have said positively that it
| an injustice? What may be expecte'
of common mortals if the presiden
| OF the United States regards wit
contempt the verdict of jury an
the order of a court, for this is, j
plain words, just what the situation
means?
