President Roosevelt declined to accept
profiered gifts of $23 900 each from the
Hamburg American and the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Companies to the
earthquake and fire sufferers of San
Francisco, on the ground that the United
States are amply able to care for the I'M
fortunates This is doubtless true, but
when weconsider the fact that these two
steamship companies maintain lines be-
tween America and Germany and do q
great deal Of business with Americans it
seems out OF order for the President to
rule them out as foreigners. Another
instance of the same kind is that of Sir
Thomas Upton, who doubtless sells a
great deal of tea here. He offered 50, 900.
1t is well enough to put out the word
that we are amply able to care for our
own, but quite another thing to turn
down proffered aid merely because it
| comes from abroad.

Parts of Country Safe and Unsafe.

The parts of the United States
which are safe as we'll as unsafe from
earthquakes are herewith stated by
the New York Herald
Safe from earthquakes: Boston.

these cities.
Liable to earthquakes: Coastal re-

There are general expressions ofre-
greet at the defeat of Judge Shaw in
the ninth district judicial convention
at Durham last Thursday. Many
regard him as the firmest Judge on
the Superior Court bench and he has
developed other traits that haveco
tributed to make his judicial career
a very creditable one. 1t has
been stated that his firmness with
the attorneys practieing in his court
made him unpopular with them and
that they worked against his re-
nomination. How true that as
serton is we do not know. But we
all know that there are some few
lawyers who need to be held in check
oftener than they are by the average
Judge, especially those who browbeat
and abuse witnesses on the stand
and then Willy them in speeches to
luries.-LOuisburg Progress.
