HE SPOKE WITH EMOTION.

The Associated Press dispatch yes
terday morning says that Judge
Parker spoke with emotion when he
announced that he had rendered his
resignation as Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals of New York. For
fifteen years he has worn the judicial
ermine. The labors have become con-
genial to him, the contact with bis
learned associates and the bar of the
Empire State, the quiet life which his
honorable position permitted-theSe
have no doubt come to be very dear
to him. 1t required struggle, in the
DAYS when party leaders urged his
candidacy, to get the consent of his
laind to surrender the career so in
keeping with his tastes and ambitions.
The ambition that stirs all strong men
and the devotion to party that ami
mates all honorable partisans caused
him to decide to surrender his quiet
life and judicial labors if the party
should call him to leadership, but his
tory shows that he was reluctant to
do this and refused to become a candi-
date, simply permitting his friends to
urge his name, and not desiring the
nomination unless, in it's wisdom, the
National Democracy believed he could
restore harmony to the party and lead
it TO victory. But, though he thought
he had settled the matter and put his
Judicial career behind him. when the
a &c nff %
che spoke with emotion" That feel
ing is one that will add to the respect
the American people feel for Judge
Parker, for they like to see a man,
who makes a surrender OF himself
for the public good. show the emotion
which is common to men of strong
feeling.
When Judge Parker first decided to
accept the nomination to the presi-
dency the outlook for Democratic
success was not bright. Indeed,
the concensus of the best opinion was
that Mr.. Roosevelt would be re-elect-
ca. Judge Parker is no rainbow
chaser. He understood that the
chances were against him, but he felt
that he could not refuse to meet the
expectations of his party, even if it
involved the surrender Of his great Of
flee and his permanent retirement to
private life 1t called for q high spirit
Of sacrifice for Judge Parker 70 re-
spond to the appeal of his party, but
he was equal to the demand made
upon him, and made the sacrifice.
That he does so with emotion" is all
the more TO his credit.

JUDGE GRAHAM RE-NoMINATED

At the Granville county Democratic
Convention yesterday, Hon. Augustus
w. Graham was renominated for the
House of Representatives The whole
State will be glad TO know that Judge
Graham will return to the Legislature.
He has twice represented Orange and
also Granville in the House, and has
twice been State Senator, and his SER
vice as legislator has been such as to
make the whole State his debtor.
1t is a good sign when men who
have held high judicial position are
willing to serve iii the Legislature. 1t
is going back to the old conditions
when Nathaniel Macon. after a third
of a session in. the Federal Congress,
became a member of the Constitutions
"a Convention.
Judge Graham is one of the honest
est, ablest and wisest legislators North
Carolina has had III a decade, and he
VIII lead for wise and progressive
legislation at the session Of 1905.

NO ANSWER YET.

The New York World reports that
in a visit to New York, Mr.. Cortelyou
called on the Standard Oil Company
for a contribution to the campaign.
He received a small check with the
explanation that it might be consid-
cred an installment provided certain
questions were satisfactorily answer
ca, and this is the question that was
put:
Does the President mean what he
said to us some time ago when he
made an arrangement with Mr.. James
Stillman, of the City National Bank
that if the Standard Oil Company and
the, other Rockefeller interests would
furnish their share of the campaign
funds the President would not upset
business with any more antitrust cru
sades?'
The public has as yet been favored
with no answer. Perhaps the pledge
not to run amuck' was the answer.

FARMERS IN THE LEGISLATURE

In tribute to the late John Il.
Holman, in last Sundays News and
Observer, the editor of this paper eX-
pressed regret that more farmers did
not seek public position. In this con-
nection the nomination of Captain
w. |. Everett, of Richmond, and Mr..
Hector Mclean. of Scotland, for the
State Senate, and Major w. A. Ora
ham, of Lincoln, is gratifying. Captain
Everett is the most successful cotton
grower in the State; Hector Mclean is
successful in high degree in one of
the best forming counties in the State
and Major Graham succeeds as farm
er and as public man of affairs. The
election of such intelligent, patriotic,
and progressive farmers to the Gen
eral Assembly guarantees safe legis-
lation.

Why People Do Not Go To Church.

New York Sun.
The reason why men do not go to
church is obvious enough. 1t is as
apparent as is the reason why play
fails to draw a crowd to a theatre
They are not interested in the church
because they are not interested in re-
ligion. They have not the deep and
vital religious faith of which church
worship is the outward expression.
They may think they believe, but ac-
tually they do not believe in the re-
ligion they profess. They are not con-
WINGED that their fate for all eternity
depends on faith in its dogmas and
obedience to its obligations How to
get men to go to church? Let there
be a revival of true and genuine reli-
gious faith and the churches wiz not
be large enough to hold them. But
not such revival can be started until
Christian ministers themselves turn
from criticisms of Christianity to ac-
tual and fervent belief in its as the
only means of salvation.
