HOBSON Is THE RIGHT SORT OF
MAN.

The report comes from Alabama
that Mr.. Richmond Pearson Hobson
will run for Governor before the Dem
ocratic primaries. Here's hoping he
will win. In his race for Congress Mr..
Hobson showed political capacity of n
high order. His speech in the Demo-
cratic National Convention showed
that he possessed genuine oratorical
gifts. In his campaign for Congress
in Alabama, when he came within a
few votes of defeating the oldest and
strongest member of the House from
that State, Mr.. Hobson scored the
active and pernicious part railroads
took in politics and demanded that
public officials accept no favors at
their hands. He has correct ideals of
public service. His private life is clean
and honorable. He is the sort Of
young man the South should advance
in politics. and leave in private life the
young men who seek to run in on some
railroad engine by the grace of cor
poration influence. We have had too
much Of that

HOW AMERICA MAY MAKE PEACE
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ia
PAN.

A correspondent of the New York
Times. who thinks "the wheels of di-
pIomacy seem to be blocked by the
demand, or an anticipated demand, OF
Japan for a cash indemnity" suggests
that Russia buy the Philippines and
cede them to Japan. He thinks the
Filipinos would be more contented un-
der the rule of the Japs than of
Americans or Russians.
Buy them,'' why bless your life, if
that would end the war the people of
this county would favor giving the
Philippines to Russia and paying the
Car to take them off of our hands.
They have brought us nothing but
trouble, expense and contempt for the
Declaration of Independence. 1t
would be "a good radiance of bad
rubbish
During the War Between the States
when the administration at Washing
ton felt the need of making great
impression upon the whole world, Sec
rotary Seward induced the Russian
government to send its naval fleet to
the United States to make a demon
stration at Boston, New York, and
other Northern cities. That evidence
of Russias friendship was as notable
as it was spectacular, and it is be-
lieved to have had a, good effect. Sec
rotary Seward promised to pay to Rus
STA the cost of making that great naval
demonstration. After the war, Rus
STA sent in the bill-it went into the
millions. How to pay it was a prob
tenn. 1t would not do for either coun-
try for the world to know that the
purchase, and Congress could not ap-
propriate so large a sum except for
something that would look tangible.
After the American and Russian Dip
lomats had exhausted their ingenu-
ity in vain to find a plan that would
pay Russia without arousing suspicion,
Simon Cameron was consulted He
had made a fortune in trade and in
politics and knew how to pillow around
any stump. He asked the Russian Off
ka. They said their country did not,
whereupon Cameron settled the mat
ter by making this suggestion: you
do not care for Alaska. We do not
want the iceberg. But we must have
some basis for paying you so many
millions of dollars. Cede us Alaska,
that isn't worth a In to either coun-
try and we will pay you the money we
owe you and some boot. That will
snuggle the whole thing up. You will
get your money, the people will not see
anything wrong and we will call it a
great feat to have added so large a
country to our territory And Simon
Camcron's advice settled the matter.
That's why we came to buy Alaska.
Why should not Russia be helped
out in its present dilemma IN much the
same way? If Japan will take the
Philippines, let us turn them over to
the flowery kingdom for Russia, with a
prayer that Japan Will forgive us for
giving her a gold brick!

1T MIGHT HAVE PROVED E1IBAR-
RAISING.


No criticism ought to be made of
Judge Boyd and District Attorney Hol-
ton because they were not present at
the Pie Brigade Banquet in Green's
boro last week. If they received an in
vitation, they naturally felt a reluct-
ance to attend after seeing the names
of the guests. It would have been en-
barrasing for these two officials to
have found themselves side by side at
the banquet with B. f. Sprinkle, whom
District Attorney Holton had only last
year, after the biggest legal battle on
record, convicted of defrauding the
government, and who was sentenced
by Judge Boyd to the penitentiary
along with Young and Angle. AS d
matter of fact, Sprinkle was at the
banquet only because, by reason of all
appeal by his lawyers, from Judge
Boyd's sentence, to the Supreme Court
of the United States Court, he is out
of the penitentiary at Atlanta for the
present But for the appeal, Mr..
Yerkes could not have had the pleas
ure of touching elbows with the dis
tinguished distiller convicted in Judge
Boyd's court.
If Judge Boyd and District Attorney
Holton had been invited to the banquet
and had accepted the invitation, they
might have been further embarrassed
by having to sit besides b. l.. Davis,
Of Wilkes county, who had last year
plead guilty of defrauding the gov
eminent in Judge Boyd's court and
was let off With a small fine and an
admonition to do better. He is do
ing better in q way probably not an
ticipated by Judge Boyd for he has
been commissioned by Mr.. Yerkes'
department as a revenue officer. He
was one of Blackburn's chief sup
porters in Wilkes county and was a
big dog at the Wilkesboro convention
where the most disgraceful bullying
known in North Carolina history was
practiced.
At banquet at which Sprinkle and
there be room for Judge Boyd and
Attorney Holton? If Sprinkle and
Davis, convicted of defrauding the
government, were proper parties to be
guests of honor along with Mr.. Fair
banks, Mr.. Yerkes and Mr.. Dixon, then
certainly Mr.. Holton and Judge Boyd
had on business in the gathering, for
one had prosecuted and the other SEN
fenced or lectured these two law
breakers and defrauders of the gov
eminent.
SO on the whole, it was probably
from feelings of delicacy that Judge
Boyd and Mr.. HoIton were omitted
from the distinguished guests, while
Mr.. Sprinkle and Mr.. Davis were given
seats of honor at the banquet board.
And if reports are true, there were
other revenuers and shady men there
who were in congenial company with
Sprinkle and Davis If Mr.. Ycrkes
had turned upon such men, convicted
in the courts for violating the rcvc-
nue. laws and dofrauding the govern
ment, instead of abusing honorable
men whose only sin is that they will
never consort with his gang, his visit
to North Carolina might have been of
some value to political purity and
decency!

people are preparing for q tobacco
crop. He thinks that this crop win
be materially increased this year.
