James Baker. the w%ell-known trav-

OF q war 100 years g The Persian

Djafar Bek, who shut her up Ia a
csstle-a part of which still remains

Charmed by her beauty, he asked her
to become his wife. She refused, and
begged her purchaser to Stay her.
The Persian gave her a night to re-
consider the matter and on the next
day he lay reclining on a great cushion
under a tree on that hot, sunny hill
side and awaited her answer. Pres
emily she appeared before him. yelled

stone vas collaborating quartz.
Promptly he returned to the town,
ook out his miner rights and with
his mate peeeed off claims on the
round, and subsequently sold ont his
interest for els. 900.
Albert Winter. who is thirty years

Condemn Army Step.

The congress Of naturalists and
physicians which recently met in
Breslau strongly condemned the
"goose-step" as practiced in the Ger
man and some other armies. DR.. Thai.

which he showed that the adoption Of
this ridiculous step accounts for nu-
merous knee and foot complaints
among the troops. Sixty per cent Of

PRESIDENT JORDAN IN NORTH CAROLINA

On page 1 we are presenting a portrait and
sketch of Hon. Harvie Jordan, whom many Of
our people had the. privilege of hearing at his
North Carolina appointments last week. From
every place visited we hear good reports of his
work. We take the liberty of reprinting the fol-
lowing private note to the Editor, and commend
it to our readers:
Let out farmers stand by the Southern Cotton
Association and the present great fight which we
have entered upon be made splendid vic

A Crisis in the Russo Japanese Struggle.

This naval battle inevitably means crisis In
the Russo-Japanese struggle The relations OF
the two nations must be materially altered; a
Japanese victory would leave Russia far more bit
terly humiliated than ever before, while Russian
victory would give the Gar courage and conf
dence to continue the war indefinitely. The sit
uation is very well set forth by the New York
Evening Post as follows:
"The perseverance of Rojestvensky has once
more altered the entire aspect of the for even
if he only sinks couple of Togos battleships, the
japanese may yet make peace on far different
terms than the evacuation of Manchurla and the
payment of a war indemnity of $5OOOOO,OOO,
which they are now thought to have In mind On
the other hand, the result of japanese victory
is obvious; it ought to make it impossible for the
stubbornest of Cars and the blindest of Grand
Dukes to continue what would then be plainly
hopeless struggle. But Rojestvensky possesses
enough vessels to make every japanese patriot
exceedingly uncomfortable until the issue has
been decided For he would be rash who would in
advance pick either feet as the winner. Roiest-
vensky has the advantage In heavy ships; Togo
in cruisers and In torpedo vessels. The Japanese
crews have shown their indifference to death and
their mastery of their business; the Russians.

Birthday and Democratic Policy.

The one hundred and sixty-second anniversary
of the birth of Thomas Jefferson last week was
made notable by the addresses of prominent Dem
ocratic leaders to the future policy of the par
ty. Ex-Judge Alton B. Parker emerged from his
six months of inocuous desuetude to address the
New York Democratic Club at the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, and he made more pointed speech than when
he was trying to please everybody in last years
campaign. His address, however, did not arouse
great enthusiasm, and he can never win a second
nomination after his first defeat as Mr.. Bryan
did.
The Nebraskan, too, was one of the Jefferson
Birthday orators, his address being made before
the Jefferson Club in Chicago. And here again
there was evidence of his continuing hold on the
masses of his Party. Like Mr.. Roosevelt, he
stands for something and speaks with force and
drectness.
Judge Parker's appeal in his New York speech
was for a conservative party-for the Cleveland
policy. Mr. Bryan urged more radical measures
Jeferson,if alive to-day, he said would Cd oppose
government by injunction, (2) favor the election
of Senators by the people, (3) advocate railway
regulation, and (4 favor public ownership of
public utilities and oppose all monopolies. This
is only part of the platform to which Mr. Bryan
is rallying his forces. And they seem likelv to
capture the party in 1908 If Mr. Roosevelt sue

CURRENT EVENTS: THE TREND OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

All the world was kept on tiptoe with exPec-
fancy last week by reason of the seemingly lm1nl-
nent naval engagement between Admiral ho1est-
vensky with the Russian fleet and Admiral logo
with the japanese fleet. But as we go to press
CMonday) news of battle has been received
the latest report being Rojestvensky's significant
telegram to the Gar: "1 will not wire again be-
fore the battle. If am beaten you will learn 1t

ceeds In his antitrust policy, then the hepuDn-
cans will practically pre-empt the conservative
ground favored by the Parker element. On the
other hand if the great corporations prove them
selves strong enough to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt IN
his own party, then popular demand for even
more strenuous measures will undoubtedly work
to the interest of the Bryan element. Its high
tariff policy naturally makes the Republican Far
ty the favorite of the great protected interests,
and the Democratic Party can win success only
as Liberal rather than as Conservative Party.
New President for the University of Virginia.
Founded four score years ago. the old Univer-
sity of Virginia last week naugurated its first
President Planned in almost every detail bg
Thomas Jefferson, such the great democrats
opposition to the Capitalization of power that he
opposed the election of a President in his life
time, and respect for his opinion has prevented
the innovation until now. In all this period the
duties of the President have been partly dis
charged by the chairman of the fac
ulty; but the need of executive
giving his whole time to the development
of the institution, has been long APPARENT. To
this task the trustees year ago called DIR. Edwin
A Alderman then at the head of Tulane Univer-
sity and previously President of the University
of North Carolina his native State. His install
lation last week was notable event, and brought
together a remarkable gathering of educators and
public from all sections of the country. It is
DIR. Alderman's purpose to build up great Ma
tional University, true to the high ideals of the
Old South but fully imbued with the spirit of
modern progress. No more ready
to receive progressive ideas than Thomas Jeffer-
son. and guided by the spirit as well as the let
ter of its founder this venerable institution now
enters upon new era which bids fair to restore
its ancient prestige.
