ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH.

want to go to North Carolina very
much. I know all about your state. Ii
has got possibilities and there IS q
great future for It"
: So the Raleigh Posts Washington
correspondent quotes President Roose-
welt as saying TO Senator Simmons
when the latter asked him il ne would
lbe able { o attend the annual session
jim Greensboro in une of the North
CaroIina Teachers Assembly: but he
could not accept the invitation, he said,
because OF so many engagements made
Iso far ahead.
If the president could attend this
Injecting, or visit our state at any other
time he would receive a warm and nos
lpitable welcome. He would find as
loyal carts here as in any state of the
union. While the large majority of OR
lpeople differ with him on many ques-
uons, they would throw sid politics
and receive him, o as the leader
Iof the republican party, but as the
president Of the United States-she
president of North Carolina as much
las of any New England, western CT
Iother northern state.
Furthermore, we believe there are
!many people in this state who voted
against Mr.. Roosevelt when a caudi-
date for vice president and again
when his party's nominee, who would
WELCOME him for their regard for him
personally. 1t cannot be %truthfully de-
Io;o1 +hot roonU &c IN fhic ofo i,aHa
Ichanged in their opinion N estimate
lof the ma i'm the last few months
There Were many who voted the demo
tcratic presidential ticket who had 10
tears to shed at it's defeat and there
are still others who gave Judge
lker their hearty support and who do
mot now approve of many of Mr.. Roos-
?evelt's actions, recognize in him GER
ltain qualities and characteristics which
always challenge esteem Of fair mind
led men. Mr.. Roosevelt, we believe, is
daily growing in the regard of the men
Iof the south and he has it in his power
Ito greatly increase that regard.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a public official and
levery citizen has the right to criticise
land condemn his public acts hic they
lido not approve. At the same time COM
mendation of such action as they
deem worthy of it is no evidence of
lack of party fealty or of falling away
tfrom party principles ON the part Of
those who belong to the opposing po-
Ilitical party. A man can be a good
democrat and still approve of some of
lMr. Roosewelt's acts.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE

The wavering of the administers
ton on the question of appointments
to Office has thrown the office-seekers
and the office-hoIders into somewhat
of a panic. Neither side knows where
it stands. A while back the fms" were
dumbfounded by the announcement
of the president that he was opposed
to any mar holding office for more
than two terms. This caused a rush
of applications from the outs" Those
who are now filling their second terms
mad hardly recovered from the shock
before the statement was made by q
cabinet officer that the length of time
a man had been in office would have
no bearing on the question of his re-
appointment. That sent a shiver
down the spinal cords of those who
were preparing to step into the shoes
Of the hosts of two-termers. The last
announcement was 50 modified,
though, as to leave both the outs"
and the 'ins'' in doubt as to what the
president would do in each individual
case, for he has. while resembling the
tanned the right to exercise his dis
erection IN each individual case. The
consequence is that both sides are be-
sieging the White house. Office
seekers are filing applications for ap-
pointment to positions held by two-
termers and the latter are having their
friends rally to their support.
There are efforts, even. to GUST some
who are now filling their first term.
A conspicuous instance Of this kind
is the Office of recorder Of deeds for
the District of Columbia, in which
John c. Dancy is now filling his first
term. This place and that Of register
of the treasury, now occupied by an
other negro, Judson W. Lyons. are
coveted by almost every prominent
negro politician IN the country. Many
applicants nave filed their papers with
the president. The president says he
has not reached any determination Is
to the recordership, but that he would
be glad to have ]. Milton Turner, a
st. Louis negro who wants the place,
to put his application on file. This
would indicate that there was some
uncertainty about Dancy's reappoint-
ment. Turner was a democrat during
the Cleveland regime. Under the
square deal idea this fact may secure
him the coveted DOSitiOn.

Observation-Disclosures ALLIANCE

There seems to be a fear ia some
diplomatic quarters h a Russia n
Japan will make a secret treaty Wh1cn
will unite their interests, thereby at
tempting to secure control OF a1airs
in the Far East. America and the
leading powers of Europe would nave
something to say about this. They
would not allow these two powers to
m China to their exclusion.
The contention Of u government for
the open door of commerce in china
will be maintained. and it will be
backed up by at least w of the ma
tons of Europe-Great Britain n
Germany. These three powers would
surely protest so vigorously against
any such agreement on the part Of the
present befligerents that they would
not dare to attempt to enforce against
China the terms of n such treaty.
Japan has been fighting TO obtain
the end for which our government has

her victory, that which Russia has
been striving to secure by intrigue and
duplicity in her negotiations with this
and the other powers who opposed her
aggressions in the Far East. ia
pan, it is true, threw herself into the
- ~1o o--oco nhIYCiSni
force to Russia's attempt to annex
part of China and to dominate the
whole of that empire, While the other
nations for whose benefit she was
fighting gave her only moral support
and sympathy. For this reason Japan
should be allowed to REAP the bene-
fits arising from such a hard-won
victory, but not to the extent of ex-
Guiding all the other powers from the
advantages secured to them by their
treaties with China n Russia. ia
pan is entitled to and should have all
she can make out of Russia provided
she does not infringe upon the rights
Of the other overs. The latter have
rights and interests in the Far East
secured by treaties which no agree
ment between Russia and Japan can
legally affect. Those rights and in
terests will be maintained.
Russia may try to induce Japan to
ignore them in the endeavor to secure
to these two the control of the east
to the exclusion of the other powers;
blu the Japanese government Would
be foolish to attempt any such scheme.
Tt would be playing into h hands Of
Russia and aiding her in her plans
on which she has been working for
years-the driving out Of India of the
British, the overthrow of the Chinese
empire and the formation of all Asia
into one vast dependency of Russia.
Russia would use Japan to help her
drive the British out of Asia and then,
with her increased power, she would
wall. The japanese kno the charac-
ter of Russian diplomats too we'll to
place themselves in such a position.
They would be deserving their true
friends-those who are willing to give
them a fair showing-for alliance
with an inveterate enemy, n who
never forgives and who will urn upon
her at the first opportunity and crush
her. We do not believe Japan will
enter into any such agreement; but
should she attempt it the other pow
ers should interpOse and prevent its
contamination.
