SUPREME ARKooAsrE.

During his last year In the officc of Secretary of state, John Hay issued an order which was. in fact and in sub stance. that in future the word Amer ica' should De substituted for United states on seals, note paper. etc. used in the State Department of the Govern mcut. This action of AIr. Hay was arbitrary. unwarranted and improper, and was an assumption of authority which he had no right to exercise.
 The Constitution of the United States begins by declaring that it was framed for the United States of America" and as such 1t has been known and recog-
 nized all over the civilized world from that day to this. and as such it should continue to be known. The word America embraces the whole of two continents. Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Patagonia, each or any of them has as much right to adopt the distinctive word for itself as the United States has Each or any of the subdivisions of the two great continents has the. same right to the name, and no one of them can justly adopt it to the ex- clusion of others.
 1t is regrettabIe but not surprising to find Ambassador whitelaw Reid en- dorsing the position of Mir Hay. MT. Reid has an undue idea of his own inn portance, as we'll as of the importance of our country. and is not averse to let ting the fact be known. Every citi- gen should feel proud of the greatness, progress and influence of the United States. but none should wish to see 1t arrogate to itself title for which there is no warrant. To call this Union sim- ply America would be saying in eff feet to all the other Governments and subdivisions of the two continents that they have no. right to use the name It Is the very superlative of arrogance. This order of Mr. Hay was in strict accord with the tendency of the pres ent administration to make itself the
 ''boss' of all departments of the Gov ernment Its arrogant assumption of dictatorial powers has been shown in l San Domingo, in Venezuela, and in all | It's dealfnES Wiln OluerS, do WcAl "o "~ home. Mir. Roosevelt has on various occasions shown an inclination to play dictator, and in more than one instance has gone quite beyond any authority vested fin him by the Constitution. But | for the checks held over him by other ! departments of the Government. 1t Is
 hard to tell how far he would venture. r We do not know 1t to be fact, but 1t l is probable that Hays order was at 1 the suggestion of Roosevelt. If he could have the United States recognized | as the whole of America and himself looked on as the supreme head and au- ! thorfty of all of it. it would round out
 the measure of his ambition. We are 1 firmly of the opinion that neither the
 reputation of John Hay. nor the anhi' ton of Roosevelt, nor yet the imperial
 istfc sentiments of whiteIaw Reid viii
 serve to change our Government into 1 a monarchy, or to set aside the Con- stitution with its weif-consfderee checks and balances. We are as yet
 Republic and we are not all of twt continents, whatever the administra'
 tion and it's supporters may claim te
 the contrary.

foresse what psffIing winds or othsr dificulties may be met with. Then we must take into consideration the fact that the travellers may find no rest- ing place. If we are correctly in- formed no airship yet tested has stayed up more than about thirty-sfx hours, so that 1t is plain that one of the necessities of the adventure is to be able to remain in their ship long enough to make tho round trip. To descend in the supposedly icy regions of the Pole, with no means of initiating the airship, or otherwise renewing it's flight would be calamity that would end the adventure. Any way we view 1t this venture is serious and peril ous one, and failure cannot be sur prise.

Mir. Ralph Smith, staff correspondent of The Atlanta Journal, is visiting his newspaper friends in Montgomery. Mr. Smith, of course, is enthused over the candidacy of Hoke Smith for the guber- naforia.l chair of Georgia. We have things doing in Georgia" said MT. Smith, "and The Journal is printing all that's doing. We are having every thing there, from suicides to railroad rate regulations, and the newspaper men are becoming gray-headed. l have been through Alabama this week, and l, as a Georgian, wish to express a pride in our sister State.

HE IS A NEISANCE.

If there is one person in any town or community less useful than another, it Is the habttuai, persistent and always busy knocker; the man who can never see anything to praise or speak well of, but can always find something to talk down; who refuses to commend a great public work. but finds litie hole in the sidewalk to growl about; who has, nothing good to say of the way his town is growing, but snarls over neglected lot in a remote block.
 Every town and every city has one or more specimens of this class of citi- gems. They go through the world growing and snarIing because such is their nature. and because they are so constituted that they never see any good in life. If one of them looks up at the star-decked sky, he Erowls be- cause he sees a little cloud in some part of 1t. If the weather Is bad. he complains of it, and if 1t is good he predicts that 1t can't last.
 We don't exactly know what knock CTS are for. except to All out the census reports. There is always something of good and beauty to be found if one is disposed to look for it. and enjoy 1t. The man who desires can always find ground for saying something good about his town and his fellow crea- tudes. If he goes about fealing for thorus, he will find them. no matter how many roses there are. If he doesn't want to find anything but evil in the world, he can find it, however. much good there may be. Deliver us from the chronic knocfer.

The Columbus Enquirer-sun Is some what worried by the failure of the President to use his big stick on the big insurance .scoundrels who have been unearthed. Our contemporary must remember that Roosevelt was politi- caIiy helped by these frauds. and 1t should also bear in mind that activity on his part in punishing the offenders would be an admission that Judge Par ker was right That wire is live one. outside of all that, there is no law authorizing Federal interference in the matter.

What State Papers Are Saying
A Late Primary.

Abbeville Times.
 We call our readers attention to an articles taken from The Advertiser. advocating a late primary election this year. One of the strongest points set
 orth is that an early primary (before July, the date of registrationl. would disfranchise a large3 number of voters. Another strong point in favor of late primary is the fact that. people have not got time to fool with politics until hope that the State committee will see
 1t not to call the primary in the spring as we don't see how an early primary will benefit anybody, and late pri- mary will be a convenience to all and will suit the general public.

The Philadelphia Record is the re- sponsfble party for this one:

"Pennsyivania should have statue of Teddyuscung at the coming James town Exposition. Famous as a sach- ena, he was also renowned for his phe- nomenal absorption of firewater; He was not too wicked, but just wicked enough. Why not give the Quay stat ue a coppery cast; and, for economy's s sake. pass 1t off on the Virginians as an efffgy of Teddyuscung.
 Why the dickens didn't The Record attach diagram to it? What does Teddyuscung mean, anyhow? Must be the name of Pennsylvania Indian, for it doesn't fit the Virginia brand of red men. And we predict that be- fore the Exposition opens few Virgin ians will relish anything with the word Teddy attached to it.
