WORTH

Here are three or four paragraphs from DIR.
Walter FL. Pages address, How the South May
Regain Leadership" printed in last weeks paper,
so charged with truth and power that we make no
apology for printing them again:
II address these, then, who answer to this de-
s%cription of a Southern gentleman man who
is frank and fearless and generous to his fell
lows. The weaker the man is with whom he has to
do, the more s%cruplous is his Justice; the weaker
the woman is with whom he has to do, the more
scrupulous his honor"
"He is a small man indeed whose mere per-
sonal fortunes or misfortunes change his rela-
tions to his fellowman or to his country. We were
born far too large for that. And I think we were
born too large, also, for mere personal ambitions.
The desire to achieve something for ones own
glory-that, too, is the mark of small men who
do not feel sure of their station or of their rela-
lions to their fellOwmen or to their country"
always an unframed mob will control thought
if the people be not trained. In an unframed
democracy low minds will lead, and an organized
howl will lift demagogues to power"
Those that sit in soft places and discuss
academic propositions (and mistake self-indul-
gence IN criticism for the intellectual lfe) are
welcome to their ease. We would not swan. birth
rights with them. Ii we have a rough task, it is
a high task. When it is done we shall leave the
world better than we found it; and, while we are
doing it, We shall have the iov of constructive
activity. We look forward to a golden age that
we may surely hasten, not back to one that never
was"

The Character and Ability of the Hearst.

Our mention of Mr.. Hearst a moment ago as
lacking in the ability required of a President
(and we still hold this opinion very firmly, leads
us to say that we may, however, have done him an
injustice in the quotation from one of his New
York enemies sometimes ago. At any rate, it is
but fair that having given the charges against
him, we should note the defense made by his
friends. Mr.. Willis J. Abbott, editor of the
Pilgrim, a magazine of character and merit, says:
"For some years it was my task to conduct the
editorial page of the New York Journal, and I re-
call but few nights, when, if Mr.. Hearst was in
town, he did not come to the Office after midnight
and go over with me the editorial articles which
appeared on that page. I do not remember many
days when he failed to arpear at the Office at two
in the afternoon, and later, at two in the morn
ing, to look over the makeup of the paper and to
read the proofs. Every other department of the
newspaper received from him the same personal
attention. He worked over forms in the compos-
ing room, passed upon pictures and comic sup
Elements and audited bills with equal facility.
That is not the life of the ordinary rich young

Roosevelt and His Running Mate.

The fact that the members of the North Caro-
lima Press Association are visiting the St. Louis
Exposition this week brings to mind a notable
change in Southern sentiment since the Associa-
ton visited the Charleston Exposition two years
ago. President Roosevelt was then the guest of
honor and aristocratic Charleston, the home of
secession and old-fashioned Democracy, heaped
honors high upon him. His picture was in every
show window, the populace was anxious to glimpse
his face, and the reception accorded him when
he rose to speak was magnificent. But Roosevelt
has lost his Southern popularity, and in Charles
ton, over whose people he has for the fifth time
appointed a negro as collector of customs, prob
ably no other President has ever been so much
hated. By his t~actless handling of the negro
problem, Mr.. Roosevelt has sacrificed a great OPP
portunity for building up an effective white oppo-
sition to the Democratic Party in the South-an
opposition that would have been healthful, for
the best government is not possible where the
dominant party feels that no mistake or corrup-
ton on it's part will lead to it's defeat. But the
movement has been stided by the Administration
policy, and we shall not see this year, as we saw
two years ago, a Republican State Convention at
Greensboro composed entirely of white men.
It still looks as if Senator Fairbanks will be the
Republican candidate for the Vice-Presidency
though General Taft is also prominently mention
ed. Speaker Cannon has most emphatically de-
clined to allow his name to be considered, and
this has given rise to the rumor that he has his
eyes on the first place for 1908. In that event, we
may see a man of Southern birth in the Presi-
dents chair sooner than had been expectation

man. It is rather the life of a man who has made
up his mind that he has a part to play IN the
world, a property to conserve, and who devotes
himself wholly to the duty which he has prepared
for himself. AS to his private character, his life
in all ways is temperate. I know of no young
man of large wealth who has led a more clearly
life than he"

Democratic Presidential Candidates.

Judge Parker still leads in the race for the
Democratic Presidential nomination, but there are
indications of jealousy ON the part of other as
pirants. The willy Senator German has been
comforting with Mr.. Hearst, and the presumption
is that they have been plotting to check the
Parker boom. Tammany would not be very en-
thusiastic in it's support of the New York judge,
but it's leaders announce that it would support
George B.. Mcclellan, the recently elected Mayor
of New York, with all the energies at it's com
mand; and German is said to be fostering the
Mcclellan boom. Mcclellan is the son of the
Union General of the same name who ran against
Lincoln in 1864. It is everywhere admitted that
he is giving New York City the cleanest, strong
est Tammany administration it has had for fifty
years, but like Mr.. Hearst, he has given no evil
dence of such ability as we require of our Presi-
dents.
And Mr.. Cleveland, still protesting vigorously
that he doesn't want the nomination, is rising
early and sitting up late in an effort to explain
away the charges made against his former adj
ministration. Not only has he sought to disprove
the newspaper records in regard to Fred Douglas
and the wedding reception, but he has lectured at
Princeton to defend his Chicago strike
record, while the Saturday Evening Post now
prints a long explanation from him as to his sale
of the $2O0,OOO,OOO in bonds at a price so much be-
low the market figures as to mean a profit of
millions to somebody.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Bryan keeps up his agitation
for the reafirmation of the Kansas City platform,
and will head the Nebraska delegation which will
go to St. Louis pledged to this end. While the
whole country has come to respect Mr.. Bryan for
his courage and honesty, in his demand for a
free silver plank in a 1904 platform, his frmness
clearly loses itself in fanaticism. For all present
purposes, free silver is even less useless as a
campaign issue than the bred Scott decision. But
Mr.. Bryan will have the fullest support of thou
sands-millions perhaps-in his demand that his
party shall stand for a different conception of
government from that held by the opposition
party, and that party integrity shall not be sacri-
feed for temporary success.

The Last of the Great Explorers.

When Henry NJ. Stanley died last week, it was
with real accuracy for once that men said, awe
shall not look upon his like again" He was the
last of the great explorers. There are no more
Ozark Continents" to be traversed and brought
to the knowledge of civilization. Stanley was one
of those of whom our North Carolina poet speaks
in the verse quoted elsewhere in this issue:
"Bold admirals of the vast high seas of dream,
With neither chart nor azimuth nor star,
That push your prows into the mighty trades
And ocean streams towards continents unknown:
Brave pioneers that slowly blaze your way
And set your cairns for people yet unborn
Upon imagination's dim frontiers
Ye are the makers, rulers of the world"
Stanley's rescue of Livingstone was one of the
most romantic feats of the last century, and reads
like a story from old Greek mythology. "There
can be no doubt" says the New York Evening
Post, "that it is mainly as a result of Stanley's
labors, and dreams of the future, that the 'scram-
BILE for Africa came about. The map of the dark
continent is scored east and west, north and
south, by the trails of his caravans. His arrival
at the Cape in 1877, after his marvellous journey
across the Continent, marks him as the original
Cape-to-C Cairo man; while his uncovering of the
vast interior of Central Africa, and his develop
ment of the Congo route, directly led the nations

into that competition for spheres of influence
and protectorates which has so often grazed on
war, but which now, thanks to the latest agree
ments of Great Britain with Germany and France,
promises to be one of peace only"

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE TT.

AS WE SEE IT.
The world was late In coming to a realization of
the deep significance of the May Day battle be-
tween Russia and Japan. AS the Country Gentle
man remarks: ut proves to be, considering the
numbers engaged, one of the hardest fought and
bloodiest battles in modern times. The Russians
were outnumbered by about five to one, 5000 of
them withstanding the onslaught of 5000 Jap
anese. But the strength of an army behind trench
es to the attacking force is said to be in the ratio
of ten to one, and the Russians were well en-
trenched; so the advantage was technically theirs.
While the loss is not accurately reported, the esti-
mates of it have grown from day to day, the
Russians total being finally placed at 1897 Off
GERS and men, or more than a third of the total
force engaged, and the Japanese at a number as
great, if not greater"
The Battle of Kulien-Cheng and its Place in History.
1t is not by reason of the numbers engaged or
the losses inflicted, however, that the encounter
on this May Sabbath is likely to have such a
large place in history. Here for the first time,
with the white race and the yellow race battling
on a large scale and on equal terms, the yellow
race came off victor. "This battle ~suffces," says
the London Spectator, "to modify possibly for all
time the relation of Europe to Asia. Until that
battle was fought the white race was still uncen-
WINGED that the japanese army could rival or de-
feat a European force of anything like ade-
quate dimensions. The pride of tho white con-
tingent had for three centuries seemed to be iusti-
fed by history. The struggles ON the Yalu pro-
vided precisely the concrete evidence needed to
d~issipate thjseonHdence, hence it may be an event
which future historians will quote as one of the
marking points of time"
1t is to be remembered, however, that the Mon
golian army outstripped the Caucasian army only
because in this case the japanese had proved
truer to the white mans ideals of liberty and
progress than had that branch of the white race
represented in this battle. That is the lesson of
the battle, and it means no check to the onward
march of our Caucasian civilization.
