MIR. BAILEY, OF THE SOUTH.

The Texas senator has one staunch
admirer in North Carolina, if no more,
as the editorial from the Duplin
Journal. which we publish below, will
show. Mr.. Bailey is a "big man" and
we believe him to be a true and hon
est man. If the south will stand by
him and make him her leader he will
do more than has any man since the
south lost her supremacy in national
affairs to again put her in the exalted
position she occupied before she lost
that position by secession and the
crime Of recontructiOn. Mr.. Bailey's
great ability no n can deny. His
fitness for the position of leader of
the southern democracy has been as
sailed by a certain class of demo-
Gratis who know that they would not
have a finger in the pie were he to be
raised to hat position, and they have
tried to pull him down by base insin-
uations. They fear him; they are
afraid that he will suDersede their
idol from Nebraska. They cannot
deny his ability and they do not dare
openly to attack his integrity, but
they try to pull him down by saying
thai it would not do to put up a
southern man to lead the democratic
party and that his connection as at
tOrney with a certain corporation
makes his leadership an impossibil!-
ty: all of which means that they
southern demOcratS-persOnally AND
for selfish reasons prefer the man
from Nebraska to Mr.. Bailey. 1t is
time for the democrats from that Sec
ton which does the voting for the
party to have the choosing Of the lead
er of the party, especially When they
have a man so we'll qualified in all
respects as is Mr.. Bailey, OF the
south.
The Mount Olive Tribune is SO Bry-
anized of late that it speaks Of other
great men as sticks and stones in
calling senator Joe Bailey The Jour
nails idol and "hobby." Not so.
Senator Joe Bailey is a man. The
Heat leader OF the OeIlOcTdllc uOSl III
the nation who has never met defeat
and in these recent railroad rate bill de-
bates measured up to the highest
standard possible as a man. a south
ern man, and the greatest, biggest,
democrat Of his day and who has in
deed, and in fact put Teddy out of
business. which Bryan has failed to
do.
That he is in anyway connected
with a trust Bailey denies and says
that his connection with any corpora
ton is only such as any honorable law
yer could have. and We shall take his
word for it. Any Texas good govern
men" club that opposes him has not
the first rudiment of good govern
ment" about it, as his public life and
conduct has been powerfully antitrust
ana anti-corporat1on. Newspapers OF
the Hearst brand, from jealousy, and
the New England republican kind,
from hatred and fear, have done their
best to defeat him, but he is again the
big democrat senator from Texas, and
will fully explain his own position
when he campaigns in Texas. That he
is today the greatest living democrat
goes without saying and now that the
former primacy in government affairs
as The Washington Post gladly says,
it behoOves all democrats in good
standing south to stand by the big
Texan and build a southern democracy
greater than its party that once con-
trolled this nation.

In Forsyth superior court today J.
A. Reed was convicted on three
charges of selling beer without license.
Judge Ward gave the defendant, who
is about sixty years old, twelve months
on the county roads.-Winston Senti-
mel.
1t is pretty tough on a man so years
Of age to have to spend a whole year
at work on the county roads: but that
Forsyth man has nobody but himself
to blame. He knew that he was vio-
lating the law when he went into tha.
business. The only way to break UP
that illegal traffic is to let it be known
that the executive officers will be Wig.
liant in ferreting out criminals and
that when convicted they will be Sc
yerely punished by the courts. Too
great leniency to criminals after CON-
viction is as great an error AS over-
looking the offense in the first place

posToN's QUEER COMMISSIONER

Staid old Boston has been having a
novel experience with Stephen o'Meara,
formerly newspaper publisher and
now police commissioner. 1t seems
that Mr. O'Meara has some curious no.
lions about public office. Among other
things he believes in working just a
little harder than any man who ever
held the job, and the way he has shak-
en- UP the dry bones in the town of
baked beans has made the inhabitants
all sit UP and take notice. Then again,
the commissioner believes city ordi-
nances were made to enforce, even the
little ones designed to contribute to
public safety and comfort.
In the course of his brief tenure Mr..
O'Meara has stopped the distribution
of waste paper about the streets, he
has made property clear the
sidewalks of snow and fee, stopped
the whistles off the peanut stands,
stopped siren whistles at night in the
railroad switching yards, put a quie-
tus on the fools who set fire to other
peoples property by the indiscrimirate
use of fireworks, improved the discl-
pline of the police force and limited the
use of clubs and revolvers to great
emergencies, relieved the congestion of
vehicles in the shopping districts, or
sanized a trial board for the hearing
of complaints against officers, regulat-
ed cab service for the protection of the
public and accomplished a number OF
less important improvements in this
branch of the city government-and
all within six months
The Boston people like the O'Meara
system so well they keep on talking
about it and threaten TO make his
place a life job as nearly as the state
constitution win allow. Even the poll
ticians who usually mix In with the
police management, are willing 10 con-
eede that the plan works beautifully.
Instead of promotions on the force by
pull" or favor, all advancement is by
merit. Instead of having officers de-
moralized by Lax discipline and polit-
zeal interference, the whole force takes
a bride in the service and does what
it is meant 10 do-pretect the public
I'm life, property health and comfort.
In this service Mr.. O'Meara's expert
ence as a newspaper man is invaluable
because he has learned to know what
the public wants and he also knows
how 10 give it to them. Salt Lake
could profit by his example-n 1t
would.

no WOMEN WANT THE BALLOT

Lady Cook, an American woman who
is now one OF the leaders of the suf-
frage movement IN England, has been
visiting in this country, and she de-
clares American women do not want
TO vote In an interview i'm New York
the other day she set forth her con-
[c.usions
1T is apparent" said Lady Cock,
that American women are satisfied to
rest content with the privileges granted
to their sex through the persistent war
fare carried on by Susan 3. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady stanton, my sister.
Victoria Woodruff Martin, and myself.
1.-THE English women are away ahead
of Us when it comes to demanding the
greatest right that mas yet to be grant.
ed them. Suffrage is assured In Eng
land, and within less than another year
the women there will hold the right Of
the ballot in their hands.
"The movement has grown so mag
nificently in England thought 1 would
come over and use my influence and
money in reusing the interest TO the
same heights of success in this coun
try But ! am discouraged and disap-
pointed. So far as ! can see. the suf-
frage movement in America is sleeping
or taking an Indefinite rest.
IF the women Of this country desired
suffrage they could have it. The
American women possess the power to
obtain anything they wish. Just now
they are apparently contented with en-
joying the privileges which have come
to them in the past twenty-five years.
They seem to be satisfied that they
have all the rights Of their brothers
save the ballot, which were denied
them under penalty of law and social
ostraoism d quarter If century ago."
In England within month some of
the suffragettes, as they are called,
went to Jail for disturbing the peace IN
an effort to secure a hearing III par;ia-
ment, and the prisoners included
number Of women II prominence so
cially. Hero in America, however, as
Lady Cook says. they do net seem TO be
particularly anxious TO vote. Even in
the states where they have been given
the ballot. as IN Utah and Colorado, II
seems to be regarded a. an onerous
obligation rather than a great boon If
one may judge by the interest women
take in primaries and elections. An
ether peculiar fact is the unwiIlingness
of women To support nominees ef their
sex. Hera in Salt Lake county it has
been observed when there were women
candidates on opposing tickets. that
they were far behind the other eaudi-
dates on the same ticket: and there was
no doubt but that the falling off was
due TO the women voters who refused
Go support women for office.
The compensatins feature of women
as voters is their undoubted Influence
on nominating conventions i'll securing
candidates OF a higher class than il
women were not factor at tine polls.
But so Icing as the American woman
Is content to delegate TO r1er the voting
pewer-for she could have it if she
wanted it herself. as Lady Cook says
Just that long will the agitation for dni-
versaI suffrage in the United States
remain an academic question.

BUSINESS HONOR STANDARDS.

In an address before the American
of Cornell discusses modern standards
of business honor. accepting as a fact
the conclusion that modern standards
are not what they should be- In one of
his paragraphs he said: The fire.
quency of great fortunes gathered per-
hsps legally but in ways felt to be I'M
just, through the power of monopoly,
have tended strongly to obscure the
men who have been thereby led TO con-
found morality with social righteous
ness; and their acts have formed the
excuse for others TO break laws which
seem to them unjust. The profits from
unjust though legal stock watering
may well prove more demoraliZing in
business circles than the Illegal freight
rebate which saves from ruin a grain
shipper caught at a disadvantage.
Although the dispatches give only
summary of President jerks discourse.
he is quoted as saying in conclusion,
that there is no legislative panacea for
our business ills. and that upon us as
individuals rests the responsibility for
our improvement" That is to say,
the community in its business and So
cial relations will be Just as good as
and no better than the individuals
who compose 1t.
Professor jerks might have gone fur
Their safely and declared that the de-
cline in business standards of honor is
not limited to any class: it is not
monopoly of the rich or a crime of the
people of moderate means Great for
tunes have been accumulated honestly
and without monopoly, and others
have been acquired at the sacri-
fee of every principle just as some
small tradesmen maintain high stan
dards and others rob their customers
by fraud. In the commonest lines of
labor the dishonest wOrkmen is found
alongside the man who is faithful and
conscientious. 1t is not question of
class or calling. but a matter of hui
man nature that some men will dc
right at any sacrifice and others will
do wrong for gain or for nothing,
1t is true, las the educator observed,
that the accumulation of some great
fortunes by legal but unjust means has
been potent force in the demoraIiza-
ton of business standards, but the
time has come when the possession of
money or power or position invites
scrutiny; the public has awakened to
the fact that the maintenance of a
high standard of business honor is as
desirable now as it ever has been.
The man who uses his wealth 10 con-
struct. TO furnish opportunity for his
fellow man, finds a reward in apprecia-
ton where the man who acquires for
tune by destructive energy, by the ere
alton of monopoly and curtaiiment of
opportunity. is sentenced to the oppro-
brium of the public and the loss Of that
esteem from others which is worth
more TO most men than any amount of
money.
The recent change in public senti-
ment has rapidly brought about a rev.
olution in business standards: and it
is not exaggeration to say that the
change has acquired such momentum
that it will result eventually in a re-
turn TO the old and better standards
of measurement. Public sentiment is
doing what no legislation could accom-
plish.

WILD PANIC ON
HUGE VESSELS
Details of the Collision Between
Orinoco and Kaiser Wilhelm
in English Channel.
THIRTEEN LIVES LOST
sTEERAeE PASSENGERS WORST
SUFFERERS.

Cherbourg. Nov 22.-Two big liners,
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and the
Orinoco, collided in the English chan
mel last night at o'clock. AS a result
thirteen steerage passengers and sail
ors were killed, and both vessels were
seriously damaged and they have re-
turned to the port for repairs.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse be-
longs to the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. She carried 25S
first-class passengers, 3S9 in the second
cabin and 697 in the steerage She left
Southampton and Cherbourg yesterday
for New York The Orinoco. which be-
longs to the British Royal Mail Steam
ship company, had cleared from South
York.
The passengers of the German vessel
will be transhipped and will leave Sun
cay. The OrinOcO's passengers will
leave southampton Nov. %
The shock of the collision was terrific
and there was at once panic on each
ship. Order, however, was quickly re-
stored. but not before a small boat low
cred from the OrinocO was swamped
by the efforts of the panic-strichen pas
sengers to crowd into it.
Those who lost their lives were either
crushed by the grinding timbers or
thrown overheard and drowned.
A number of small boats put out from
Cherbourg and rescued some sailors
and passengers who were struggling in
the waves,
