1t would be Il rare administration

Lented popularity and will grow it,
popular favor as it's details are con-
sidereI and time goes on. The Gov
ernor himself has won steadily upon
the regard of the people and retire>
from his hi Yh Office with their favor,
affe..tion and best wishes. He has Ills
charged with ability, fidelity and high
purpose the duties committed to his
hands four years ago, and retires from
office, ;,s few men do, more pOpula'
than he Was when he assumed it.
During these four years the State ha :
made gigantic strides in many ,lire'-

Should Have Raised Cover l3r's Sa lrv
Anyway.

Charlotte News
1t was IL commendable act in Gov
rrnnr-ele'.t Glenn to telegraph to the
Legislature stating that hp did not
desire Il raise OF salary on his account
and formally stating that the bill to
raise his salary be withdrawn. But
on this accOunt there is no reason
why the bill should have been with
lrawn. Wewonli not express donbt
his salary be not raised, but this
rather too prompt lakiny him ut his
word is enough to Startle him. He
is developing an influence with the
LEGISLATURE which we doubt much, If
in his most sanyu,ne moments hp has
hoped for.
Ar we underS tand it, it WAS not on
Mr., Glenn'$ account in the first place
that an effort was made to inrreasr
he salary of the Governor OF the
State. However deserving our Gov
prnor-plrct may b., his personality
was not the thing considered in this
matter. 1t was the Governnrship it.
self. 1t is due to the dignity of the
State of North Carolina and its peo-
pie that the Governor of the State
receive Il salary in keeping with the
lignity, the responsibility aud espe-
tally the expensivpne>s Of the pO-
>itinn. Gov. Avcock, whom no one can
accuse of being Il spendthrift, aft,'r
four wears in this offire, gives it rs his
opinion that the s,,larv of the Gov
prnor is ina'lpquate, and IN his final
message rrconlnlen.iS that it hp in
creased. He does not express this
opinion complaininyly, does not ask
or insinnate that hp himself be re ON
| pen>el in any way, nor does h. men-
tion his successor. He just suggests,
.iving good REASONS for it, that the
General Assemble v make the "Govpr-
uor's' salary larger. This opinion
# Gov. Aycork has been expressed
by many others. and had not Mr.
| Glenn's telegram come at the last
moment, there is reason to believe
the measure would have been carried
as it should have been in spite Of Mr.
GIenn's request.

The Integrity Of Reporters.
Charlotte Observer.

We printed a few days ago. n letter
from CIV. Avc,rk tn Col. Fresi 4.
Olls, the Raleigh correspondent of
the Obs. s.rrer and other papers, as
follows:
Il cannot leave Raleigh without
eonvevilg tn you and trough you as
dean Of the college of reporters. my
great satisfaction ton aecount) Of
your constant kindness to me. All OF
you have dnilv come into my Office,
and have talked with entire frep,iom
in your presence, but not one of you
has ever printed anything that was
not willing for you to print. 1t has
not even been necessary for me to
say: This is not for publication Our
intercourse has been that of friends
and you have published only such
things as We're proper, and that with
out Suygestion from me. i owe no
small part of the su,ress which / be-
li-ve hasattendrd m administration
to the Kindness of the reporters and
the press. Will you convey to the
gentlemen of the press who haveg gone
in and out of my office ever since l
have been here my grateful acknowl-
-dgement and sincre best wishes"
The experience of Governor Aycock
is that of the vast majority OF public
mpu with reporters and newspaper
men generally. Many things arr com
mit,ed to them which it isnot desired
or intended to havpprinted, aud how
ever Interesting the information, the
rnnti.Ipnre is not betrayed. 1t is n
tribute to the integrity Of newspaper
reporters. in their dealings with pub
lie men, that they nre generally talke'l
to without evasion or reserve, beil':
told nr knowing where to draw the
line in communicating with their pa
pers. The character Oi the reporter
is quickl ly estimated and it is rarp that
he fails to live mp to the rXpe'tatio"
of him. In Washington. in partiru-
lar. the newspaper men ARE cOnfidrd
i . and advised with to an extent
which it would surprise an outsider
to know Ol, and many of them, by
virtue of their ability and rustworth-
mess, have the entrpp to the highest
official circles. There are two young
North Carolina correspondents there

se.rets entrusted to them with justi-
fable confidence that they will not
be ttsld. There il Il certain indefin-
able something which restraints the
honorable reporter in any case OF
.Ioubt, and the other class is without
standing and thus without access to
original sources of Information. 1t il
to the credit, to the public eye, OF the
Rnleigh reporters that Governor Ay-
cock is able to say to them that dur
ing his term he has talked to them
with entire freedom and that none OF
them have eevpr printedanything that
I,e WAS not willing to see printed; but
that he is able to pay them this
tribute will not surprise newspaper

The Southern people are not run

believe, him to be All honest and just
man; We recognize him as the Presi-
dent of the whole country, and we
are anxious for him To visit us, meet
lis in fair and friendly spirit, and see
our situation as 1t is. With a better
understanding of Southern men and
Southern conditions, he will be better
able to sympathize with us and assist
us in solving our vexatIous prob
LENS. President Roosevelt is not
vaciIlating, but hs is open-ininded,
and he is cIivalrous, and in these
characteristics he has a bond ofsym-
pathy with the South. We believe
that his heart is in the right place,
aud that he earnestly desires TO be u
non-,ectioual President. When he
paws us il visit he will receive the
