''and / think he has as many sup
porters in Moth Carolina as any
other candidate who has been men
toned. AS for Governor Aycock,
he is the choice of everybody in the
State for second place ON the ticket.
| There is no man in the South who
stands so high as our Governor ir
the estimation of the people of the
country, and l think this fact is gen
orally recognized. lam one of those
who believe that it is time for the
South to assert itself and again talk
a commanding position in nationa
politics. 1t We aries me to hear thu!
talk that Southern men are unavail
able for positions of honor and tru5
in the gift of the nation. Governo

anna and of Colombia, and showing
that so far from representing the will
of the majority of the people of Co
lombia, the government practically
meant the will of a dictator who had
reached his eminence by unlawful
means. Mr.. Root went on to say that
Panama, having been sovereign
state for the greater part of It's his
terry, had rs much right to her own
ground as New York has to the Erie
Canal, and that Colombia played in
this whole transaction the part of tie
talthleSs trustee. Briefly recOuntinC
the history of the revolution, Mr.
Root pointed out the fact, which
ought to be known to everybody by
tbs time, but which some people seem
TO ignore, than in these days of news
papers and telegraphs the State De
P&rtment could hardly fail to be
aware of the condition of things IN
Panama for months before the revO-
luton, and that no secret aivices
were needed to enable the Admins
tratiOn to understand this situation.
and to form It's plans. This synopsis
by no means includes all the cOgent
reasoning in the speech, but il is only
necessary 10 add that Mr. Root has
supported his arguments by all the
details for which any reasonable per
son could ask.

Now don't forget to water that

This vas the admonition liveryfnan

into the ears OF a young newspaper
man from Washington who was re-
Gently sent into the country to get a
story.
Going by rail to the nearest town. the
young man set out 10 hire a horse and
buggy. The only animal he could get
was an ancient gray called "Old Biz.
not at all prepossessing in appearance.
The hve-yman said the gray was good
for the drive, providing he had an al
lowance OF plenty OF water
The reporter set out, ACCOMPANIED bv
Ia local newspaper man. They started
early IN the day, as they had drive
OF about fifty miles to make before get
ting back TO their starting point Re
membering the injunction OF the owner
of the horse. they did not forget to
water the animal. Instead. whenever
they reached a creek that looked iuvit-
in &, they. unreined the old gray and ies
him driak to safety. And whenever
they came to a farm house where the
watering trough was convenient they
did the same thing.
With this abundant supply of his IA

Jagged along slowly. Water did not

the last two miles OF the journey the

Exit Heath.
The Disappearance of a Characteristic
Figure in Politics.

The resignation of Perry Heath il
said, by himself. to be due wholly to
the death of Senator Hanna. without
whom he has no heart TO carry On his
work for the Republican party. This
Is a piece of effrontery which, but fer
the saddening fact OF which Mr..
Heath has made use in his statement,
would be amusing. There may be
some people who believe him.
1t is pretty well known by this time
that Perry Heath would have been
cut of his position AMI out of politics
some time age but fol the protection
OF Senator Hanna. whose loyalty to
his friends was sometimes carried
further than was judieious Tor him
self. The devotion of Heath to his
leader was almo It as amusing TO other
people as it was embarrassing TO Sen
atOr Hanna. who must often have
prayed to be delivered from this par
ticular friend. Devotion Is not neces-
sarily amusing, but this particular IN
stance seemed so obviously to De due
to "a lively sense Of favors about TO
be received" that it lad It's funny as
rects.
1t is true that Perry Heath owed
much TO Senator Hanna. Without
the protection of that powerful arm
he would long ago have been chased
off of his job" as they say IN the
Dutch counties of Pennsylvania. He
also owes much TO Providence. He
has been allowed to retreat right side

The Usual Protest.
Representative Burton Sounds the Note
of Warning This Time.

A lively scrimmage was started In
the House on Monday by Representa-
tive Burton, chairman of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee. who strong
ly opposed any material increase of
our navy. Thereupon Dayton OF
West Virginia, Powers of Massachu-
sets, and various other members ex-
pressed their views on the subject.
The argument advanced by Repre-
sentative Button against large navy
was not new. There was hardly a
statement III it which has not been
made again and again, whenever this
question has come up for discussion:
hardly one which was not held effec-
tive by those who happened to be op-
posed 10 the navy, away back in TIE
Gays when our present collection o.
warships was not even planned. The
theory of the speaker was based on a
conviction that the building of a large
navy places MS before the world in tie
light of an ambitious military people.
and helps to destroy the sentiment in
favor Of arbitration, which has been
carefully and laboriously built up bv
lovers of peace. The essence Of tie
argument may be found in this SEN
tence:
1T Is the United States which is. in
effect. saying, if not in words. we arc
ready for war, which means that we
invite war"

To- bed last night he did so. presuma-
bly,. in a house whose doors and win
dows were securely locked. and with
tho knowledge that there was police
man somewhere in the neighborhood.
or whom he could call if marauders
threatened his home. This was very
inconsistent of him. He was I'm effect

he should have left doors and win

District abolished. If burglars en-

Hearst After Pennsylvania.
Information comes from Pennsylvania
to the effect that the Hearst boomers
have invaded that State, and have
thrown out the dragnet in the search
for delegates Heretofore the boomers
OF the popular New York Representative
nave been eNerting their efforts chiefly
IN the South, on the Pacific Coast. I'm
the Middle West and the large cities
where numerous Hearst Clubs have bee-
organized Such success has attended
the work of the boomers that they have
decided TO try their strength in the Key
stone State. There, however the oh
stacles are far more difficult to sur
mount Just now their efforts are di-
rected toward an attempt to prevent
the adoption OF the unit rule TO govern
the action of the Pennsylvania delegates
to the national convention
II the unit rule is not adopted Mr.
Hearst friends declare that the editor
statesman will divide the delegation
with some other aspirant for the norni-
nation They confidently declare that il
the delegates are left free to vote as
they choose Mr.. Hearst will receive
perhaps one-half Of the votes of Penn
sylvania In the convention. The trouble
IS that the Hon. James NJ. Guffey, mem
Der or the National Committee for
pennsylvania. and a prospective candi-
date for the chairma nship of the com
mittee. cannot be brought To favor Mr..
Hearst's scheme OF free delegates.
Mr.. Guffey has a bank account as large
as Mr. Hearst's. and while he is not
like the New York Representative. n
candidate for the Presidency he 4, de-
termined 10 continue his control upon
the Democratic situation IN PennsvI-
vania. He wants the unit rule adopted
so that he may be able to do with the
delegation as his Judgment directs: he
desires To carry its vote around in his
vest pocket. and cast ~ for whomsoever
he wishes. and the chances are very
largely in favor OF Mr. Guffey having his
own way In the matter. Pennsylvania
has made a practice Of following tho
unit rule, and there is very little likeIi-
hood that a change will be made not
even at the request OF Mr. Hearst
Such a thing would be TO destroy the
power of Mr.. Guffey, and Mr. Guffey is
too Uise 30 permit that to be done.
