"IF | AM RE.ELEcTED".

The negro vote in the border States
OF the North-Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West
Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York
ard Connecticut-is absolutely essential
to Republican success this year. Deduct
the negro vote in either State from the
total Republican vote, and the party of
Roosevelt would be in a minority in every
one of these States. That situation is
responsible for the statement that ema-
mates from Washington, quoting the
President as saying that If reelected and
free to act without consideration" he
Would stop lynching at any cost'-that
is to say that the negroes, who demand
that something be done are to be fed
upon promises. Well, that's the sort of
husk with which their political bodies
have been filled for many years, and
they'll take it again and vote the Repub.
lican ticket as usual. But Roosevelt is
serving his first and last term as Presi
dent, and promises .'if l am reelected
arc worthless.

DEPENDS ON WHOSE OK is GOREp.

Before accidentally succeeding to the
Presidency, Mr.. Roosevelt was Civil
Service Raformer who grew red in the
face whenever partisan politics" was
mentioned. .As President, he has been
conspicuous for doing the 'spoilsman's"
act 1t was then, in his opinion, a terri
bic thing for any public officer to ap-
point a personal or political friend to
Office. Since he has been President, it
has not seemed so grave a crime. Much
depends upon whose OK is gored.
Roosevelt's appointees take after him
in Inconsistency. Admiral Walker, head
OF the Panama Commission. objects vigor-
ously to having the engineers and inspec-
tors to be appointed to be named by the
Civil Service Commission. Asked il he did
not think if chair-women, messengers and
others should be appointed by civil
service examination the engineers and in
spectors should be appointed the same
way, Admiral Walked answered:
because l am thorough believer in the
civil service when it does not apply to
us. But am very sure that it would not
be satisfactory to the Istbmus OF Pan
ANA
Exactly. He is a strong believer in the
system-for the other fellow AS a mat
ter of fact, if there is any service in
which civil service rules should apply it
is in the Panama work. Unless there
IS some strict merit system, all the places
will be filled by the sons, nephews, rela
ives, friends of politicians with a pull
friends fer whom they wish to do some
thing and relatives they wish to send far
away. The President should rebuke the
Admiral, enforce civil service rules and
strangle the incipient scandal OF incom-
potent appointees before they are com
nissioned.
Look out for the second Panama sean
dial.

NO "ROTTEN TIE" TRIAL.

The expected has happened. The South
Jr., his claim for damages for injuries sus-
tanned in the rotten-tie wreck near Raj
eigh last year. Mr. Parker offered to
compromise for $500, the railroad offered
$4,000, and a compromise was effected by
which the Southern pays Mr.. Parker &c.
500. and pays the costs in the case.
There has never been a day since that
criminal wreck, for which the head off
Gals ought to be held criminally liable.
when the Southern would have dared to
go into trial to escape the claim for dam
claims in order to keep out of court. They
have known all along that suit in court
would demonstrate their criminal care
lessness, and they have preferred to pay
the moderate demands CT all persons in
jured rather than face the damaging tes-
tlnony. Mr.. Parker was right in not de-
sir'ng to receive more than he was justly
entitled to be paid, but he could have
held up" The road for more if he had
been actuated by any spirit of grab.
Under the present procedure in North
Carolina there is no liability on the part
of railroad that is guilty of criminal
negligence except to the party injured
The public have higher right than any
individual-the right to punish failure to
keep trains and track in a safe condi-
ton. When this is not done, the State
should take the matter up, investigate,
and punish the officials ''higher up Tor
the negligence. The existence OF rot
ten cross-ties was due to a refusal to fur
nisb good cross-ties The laws of North
Carolina need to be changed to the end
that the punishment for negligence shah
be by the State and not left to the in
dviduals who may bring suit Tor dam
ages. That is shutting the stable door
after the horse is out of the stable, ano
results in a failure to fix the responsible
ity. In the case under consideration, by
the payment of money to claimants, the
Southern Railway officials avoid such IN
vostigation as would show them guilty of
criminal negligence. If there is any law
to punish Them it is vague or the officials
do not enforce it. There is need of a
stronger statute and an insistence upon
the part of the State that mere payment
of money cannot settle in full the crime
OF criminal negligence.

would lose the Republican party the
solid Mormon vote. To decide to keep him

THE USES OF POETRY.

We have always sympathiZed more or
less with the man who asked the ques-
ton: why will grown man write
poetry" when we have been beguiled in
to reading much of the stuff that passes
for poetry these days. But poetry has its
uses and often the rhymester hits the
bulls eye on public measures, even ii he
cannot equal Tennyson. The poem OF
Mr.. Raiford yesterday and the other poem
today On the A. G N. c. r. r. conspiracy
show the uses of poetry in treating OF
public matters.
The recent order of the Pension Com
missioner, putting thousands OF pension
ers on the roll without authority OF Con-
gress, has called down upon Commissions
er Ware whole torrent of criticism,
coupled with demands for his resignation
In reply to friend VINO commi sera<ed
with him on his lot the other day. Mr..
Ware dropped into poetry to explain why
he accepted the situation in philosophy
cal mood. 1t is in his "IronquilP' vein,
and reads:
The President put me here,
It's improper to repine;
1t disloyal for me to die,
Insubordinate toeresign.
Commissioner Ware fled to the South
TO take much needed rest. Before 60
ing he wrote the President a short note
in lead-pencil characters that ran as fol
lows:
/ take this piece of plumbago
To tell you / have the lumbago;
/ shall HE me away
For week and a day,
For feel like a very bum Dago.
Poetry of this sort serves two valuable
purposes. 1t enables the criticized public
officer to be philosophical. No man who
was FESTIVE under criticism could write
poems like the above. Poetry offers him
a safety valve. Instead OF cussing the
press, Senators and Representatives, Mr..
Ware drops into poetry" and thus re-
lieves his pent up feelings. 1t serves
another good purpose, to-wit: When peo-
pie read these lines Of the Pension Com
missioner they will vent their rage against,
him for perpetrating such vile doggerel
until they will forget to denounce him for
his raid on the treasury. His habit OF
writing poetry will therefore mollify in
dignaton against his wrong official action.
The erme of writing such poetry could be
avenged only by hanging while all recog-
nize that hanging is too severe a penalty
for assuming the legislative prerogative.
