JOHN PAUL JONES.
He Was Originally Appointed to the
Navy From North Carolina.

To the Editor:
In view of the proposed monument
to John Paul Jones | nave thought
that North Carolina ought to seek to
have inscribed on it that he was orig
inally appointed to the navy from
North Carolina.
The News and Observer published
communication from me two years ago
calling attention to the fact that he
was appointed from this state. The
matter now assumes particular inter-
est.
On January %, 1889, Robert Burton
who was one of the first members OF
congress wrote to Gov. Sam Johnston
then at Edenton, as follows:
LAS these men who foughtand bled
for us in our late contest cannot be
held in too high esteem, and as Chew
alier John Paul Jones is among the
foremost who derived their appoint
ment from this state. that deserves to
be held in remembrance to the latest
ages, | take the liberty of offering to
the state as a present, through you,
its chief magistrate, the bust of that
great man and good soldier, to perpet-
uate his memory
Perhaps that bust is now at Hayes,
the country residence of Governor
Johnston, near Edenton.

occurrence, however, directs attention
to a condition that exists to a greater
or less degree everywhere, the want of
sufficient safeguards for the frail
young womanhood of the land. In
deed this absence of safeguards ac-
tually takes the positive form of
brazen allowance of the existence of
conveniences for the degradation Of
woman. And Raleigh, we must be-

reer of twenty-five years 'on the road,
l have met with nothing save respect
and kind treatment, and except in one
little town. have never met with a dis
courtesy. This might well be called an
eulogy on man. And to know that in
those years i have met the approval
of man is gratifying, beyond express
sion, to me, for they are Jealous crit
les
1t is remarkable and gratifying that
the courtesy to woman is so general
i'm North Carolina. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that in even a single instance
this good woman failed to receive the
courtesy to which her worth and her
sw eetness of temper and womanly Vlr-

THE PIMPS AND SPORTS NEXT.

After the authorities shut up the
hell-holes, they will need to put some
sports and pimps and gamblers on
the roads. The vagrant act ought to
cover more of that gentry than May
or Powell wisely told to go to work
or git" There are others here who
are among the chief emissaries of all
sorts of hell-holes, the enemies of all
that is good. Some of them wear fine
clothes and affect to be better than
folks who work for their living. Their
idle brains are busy planning the
downfall of virtue. They would adorn
the chain-gang better than the streets
of Raleigh. There are not many OF
this sort of cattle, but they are well
known, and they must go!

Rcaping Her Harvest.
Biblical Recorder.

BIBLICAL INetOIueT.
Raleigh reaped another harvest last
Saturday from her Wanton sowing. We
all know, even the most innocent peo-
pie in Raleigh know and have known
of the existence of houses here that
lead to hell-to use the unsurpassed
biblical phrase. But our police did
not know-one of them did not until
his daughter was overtaken in one OF
these very houses" Well may he
now wish that he had been lass con-
siderate. less slow to action.
We state it for fact that Mayor
Johnson and his police force can close
UP all these places if they wish to.
While we are expelling G. NJ. Bernard
from our city-and he ought TO be
expelled-let us also close up the cor
rupt and degrading places that have
so long afflicted our city.
The public, has taken this matter
with indifference too long.

OUGHT TO USE TRIP HAMMER.

One of the first men in Piedmont,

says: II am glad to see you standing

sledge hammer blows for either. You

the opinion of possible jurors as was

Raleigh Not Worse Than other Traces
Winston Journal.

The mOralistS may smack their lips
and declaim about the Raleigh tragedy
but it does not, in itself, prove that
Raleigh is anv different from Other
places. 1t seems that some open,
startling incident is necessary to
awaken the public to what is going on
in the shady side of life. OF course
the whole affair is shameful and ter.
riblc: the participants realize this more
than any one else, probably. The only
unnaturally vicious side of it is that a
man of family, long experience with
the world and of matured years,
should be a prime actor in events
which precipitated the scandal.

A "STRENUOUS" SPEECH. ALONG
RIGHT LINES.


published elsewhere in full. gives to
the dry body of educational theory the
pulse of a convincing personality
The speech does what makes most
things worth while in the way of
rhetoric or letters: it says succinctly
what we have all been thinking and
trying to say.
The Presidents observations on edu-
cation as dispensed at the Universities
are wholesome. They are rational.
They are Democratic.
The trained mind, the exceptional
mind is of Importance. 1t should be
given it's reward. 1t should be made
an incentive. We should get out of
the idea that the largest success lies
in being an illustrious pawn-broker,
as sMr. Roosevelt justly stigmatizes
some of the most illustrious of finan-
ciers. In that sentence he might al
most have named his man. The old
uncle of Saving saws" we all know.
He is a monument to the civilization
which has been wrought like Other
monuments by unframed skulptors, he
is not an ornament.
1t is, however, of the highest inn
portance that the scholar should not
feel that in learning he makes a ne
cessary sacrifice. We prate too much
of business. Business follow progress.
to the dscredit of the world so far
got little pay. Business reaps where
the scholar has sown. There is high
time for a REIMBURSEMENT. The Presi-
dent is practical in this. If his views
should have been "strenuously' eX-
pressed. the country was in need of
the tonic.
The other point brought out clearly
is that the hope is not in the eXcep-
tional man, however much he may
contribute if he finds it orth while
to continue to be exceptional. Univer-
sty education is valuable chiefly in
the mass. It's power lies in the army
of young fellows trained to think
rightly and accurately, with ground
work for quick decisions, who in fact
leave the university behind them when
| they leave its walls. The university
is training and not finishing
school 1t is preparatory to life it
self A man is handicapped who has
not smelt a college. He is stunted be-
yond the hope of growth who mistakes
the training for the end.
What the president says of sport is
of minor consideration, true as it is.
Sport is a part of the college. 1t can
not be banished. 1t is as settled pa IT
of the curriculum as Greek. 1t should
be clean and manly and unafraid.
The spirit of the institutions demand
that it should be. The president would
play fairly, strongly, but he would
make athletics general instead of
highly socialized spectacles. In that
he is right Athletics do not amount
to much when the majority of the
students are looking on at handful
of gladiators. Every man should have
I; show to grow in his body as well as
in his head.
All in ALL Mr.. Roosevelt has done
! sense speech at an educational meet
ing. He shows that he has thought.
What he says is not only healthy and
helpful-but it is interesting. That,
in itself is an accomplishment to point
moral and win the ear. 1t is a fine
American speech. 1t is worth read
ing, line for line

Defying Law Under Legal Advice.

Formerly the very liberal code of
legal ethics drew the line at compile
ity in the commission of Il crime. The
LAWYER might become an accomplice
after the fact, but not before it. He
could help a thief to keep out of Jail,
but he could not directly help him TO
nick p rocket. The modern
CAPTAIN of criminal industry robs the
public instead of an individual, and
he takes every step under the advice
of his attorney.
