LET THEM COME no AsHEvILLE.

The suggestion OF the Richmond
Dispatch that the North Carolina and
Virginia editors hold a meeting to-
may become better acquainted and 20
cement old friendship has been hearth
ly seconded by the press of the State.
In view of the fact that the next ses-
sion of the North Carolina Press AS
ISOLATION is to be held in Asheville,
our mountain metropolis in July. the
Asheville Citizen urges that the Vir-
ginia editors be invited to attend that
meeting and adds:
I'VE can show the men of Virginia
scenery which the eye hath not seen,
neither hath it entered into the heart
of man what wonders we have pre-
pared for those who come this way.
We can charm our visitors with a
climate the like of which is hard to
find on this continent Here, under
the shadows of the great mountains,
the journalists of the Old Dominion
State can find a welcome second to
none. Gentlemen of Virginia North
Carolina bids you come to the Land of
the Sky when her journalistic sons
gather in the mountain metropolis"
The News and Obserser seconds the
suggestion of it's mountain contempor-
airy, with the addition that the North
Carolina editors next year meet with
the Virginia editors at one of their
delightful mountain or seaside resorts
or in one of their great cities.
In politics, in religion, in peace, in
war, North Carolina and Virginia
have always been united. The friend
ly feeling subsisting between the peo-
pie of these two sisters will be
strengthened by this coming together
of the editors Of both states.

ENFORCE THE NEW BALLOT.

The australian Ballot" like most
other good things, needs to be we'll
guarded lest it turn out a reproach
to the pure ideal upon which it was
inaugurated. In theory, the ballot
means that each man endowed with
the suffrage should have the ability
to employ it without extraneous in
fluence. Practice proved that the
concept was one of the things
which required development to make
perfect The so-called Australian
ballot comes nearest to fulfilling the
ideal. Under its provisions, properly
complied with the enforced, the voter
has a chance to cast his ballot as he
himself sees fit, and without the de-
moralizing incident of responsibility for
the vote cast, to any man or party. If
the spirit of that system of voting is
conserved, the caster of the ballot is
freed from any responsibility other
than that of his own conviction. And
this, in the gain that it makes to-
wards a true expression of the in
step towards that purity in politics"
which the brilliantly pessimistic Sem
ator Ingalls, characterized in his ia
nous epigram as an ''iridescent
dream
Locally, the Australian Ballot, or a
modification thereof, is to be tried for
the first time at the approaching city
primaries. The booths for voters are
not now practicable and their place
will be taken by a roped enclosure
down which each voter will walk for
the purpose of preparing his ticket
for himself and in private. 1t is of
prime Importance that the new sys-
TEN should be given the advantage of
the strictest compliance with its provi-
sions. The voter should be protected
in fact as we'll as in theory from any
sort or condition of espionage or infiu-
ence. No poll holder should see any
ballot unless the voter so desires; no
man should be questioned as to how
or for whom he voted. The deciding
vote in contests where there is di-
undecided vote. Too frequently that
vote is swayed-kept away from the
polls by motives which are in a sense
unworthy and yet incident to human
nature and to personal ambition. No
man wants to make enemies, who
needs the public in his business. 1t is
much safer and much easier to be
non-committal than to stand out too
approximately for ones own opinions.
For the reason that his vote would be
duly recorded MANY good man has
RETAINED from voting either way on
public questions. That sentiment is
an evil of the old ballot, which the
new australian Ballot" was designed
to remedy. A mans vote, like his
prayers, should be something to be
disclosed only as he sees fit. With the
secrecy of the ballot rests the only
hope of an absolutely certain express
sion of the true sentiment of COM
munity.
Let every safeguard be thrown
about the coming primary. Let the
issues be fairly presented and fairly
fought. And in that event, the re-
suit will be immaterial in that it will
leave the true democracy-which is
the will of the neutrality-suspicious.

WHITMAN WON BIG DEBATE
TEAM ON THE ROSTRUM
LAST NIGHT.
Contest Was Most Interesting Ever
Held in WaIla WaIa-Banquet
After Debate.

Whitman college added another to
it's list of debating victories by defeat
ing Pacific University on the rostrum
here last night. The debate was
closely fought and able all through of
| the kind worth going miles to see. In
parts it was highly sensational, espec-
! tally at the closing when Shively
! leader of the Pacific team, begged the
privilege of making a point after the
debate was closed and was met square
| ly and fairly by Greenslade, leader for
Whitman. The effect of this was ire
mendous and did much towards win
ming the contest for the home team.
! The speakers from Pacific were all
good debaters. Shively especially was
a star, probably putting up one of the
best finished arguments ever heard in
in college debate here. Walter Eells
did the bulk of the constructive work
for Whitman.
The question discussed was Re
solved, That the United States Should
Adopt the Canadian Banking System"
and Whitman had the affirmative, with
Wolfe Eells and Greenslade as a team.
Shively, j. w. Pnilbrook and A. ]. Pri-
deaux.
Whitman proved that the present
banking system of the United States,
was inelastic, outgrOwn and made
quate and that the Canadian system
is the best in the world and would
work like a charm to the satisfaction
of a majority of the judges in spite of
the efforts of her opponents to show
that the present system was all right
and that the introduction of the Can
adam system would be un-American
and monopolistic.
The judges were J. G. Eldridge of
Moscow, Prof. w. G. Roberts of Pull
man and Judge C. F. Miller of Dayton.
This is the first intercollegiate vic
tory Whitman has had for some time
and the students went wild when
Chairman Bates announced that thu
affirmative had won. They rushed
upon the platform enmasse and after
fairly devouring the champions in the
exuberance of their joy they expressed
some of their feelings by singing COL
lege songs, and ringing the tower bell.
Hearty cheers were given for their de-
feated opponents.
After the contest the Pacific Uni
versity debaters were Toasted by the
home team. They left for Forest
Grove on the train this afternoon.

THREATENS RossPs LIFE.
Letter Demands That He Pay $4,000
Or Die.

LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 17.-Josepn
Rossi, the young Italian who claims
to be neir to an immense estate, has
received a threatening letter in which
the writer demanded $4,000, and
stated that his life would not be safe
unless the money was delivered, ac-
cording to his statement. 1t is sup
posed this letter came from New York.
There are many mysteries connected
with the tale of Mr.. Rossi. 1t was
about December / when he startled
the Lewiston public with the declara-
ton that ne was the heir to an estate
so, large that few can comprehend 1t.
He said he expected to get his money
before Christmas, and announced that
he would take a party of friends and
relatives on a trip to California and
other places. Delay after delay has
come. and during all the time Mr.. Ros-
81 has expected the arrival of Mr.
Glossi, who was supposed to bring the
necessary credit books, but Mr.. Clos
81 has never come, although a letter is
claimed to nave been received stating
that he is in New York
Last week Mr.. Rossi received two
letters, one from the bank at Turin,
Italy, and the other from bank at
Genoa, Italy. In these letters he was
told that it was necessary to have an
administrator appointed for his
fathers estate, his father having died
early in January. This was the first
word Mr.. Rossi had received of his
fathers death, and a friend expresses
the belief that his mail is being tam
pered with.
It is also the belief now that Mr.
Glossi never intended to come. and
that the letters were written for the
purpose of Turing Mr.. Rossi to New
York for some foul motive. Many let
tiers, which Mr.. Rossi has received
word had been mailed to him have
never arrived, and there is much nys-
terry about the case.

Second Hand Teeth.

Say, doc, do you want TO buy four
teeth?" said a shabbily dressed young
man to a dentist.
Natural or artificial?" the dentist
asked.
Natural ones. Out Of my own
mouth. Here's the holes hs my gum"
Natural teeth are no good. They
are never bought the dentist said.
When a tooth is extracted it be-
comes dead, the same as, when an arm
is amputated, it becomes dead. AS
the amputated arm decays, so decays
the extracted tooth. Remember this,
Young man, and never hope again to
make any money out Of the contents
of your mouth"
After the youth was gone, the dem
fist said:
Il didn't tell MIN that he could sell
old artificial teeth. There are q Few
dealers in every city who buy second
hand artificial teeth at a. good price.
What they do with them afterward II
a mystery. 1 hope none come to me.

devouring mouth Of a millionaire

"A great many think they can sell
