able element in the party that was opposed to his
selection, and which tried by every honorable
means TO prevent it,
1t failed. Moran's spectacular and sem
sational campaign methods brought to his support
very substantial majority of the delegates and

many independent citizens.
If he imagines he will get that independent

President Roosevelts son, he is grievously mis-
taken. This is only cheap play TO attract the
attention of those in the gallery. 1t is not evil

gogy.

moning OF the student to appear before the grand
jury in relation to a already under investiga-
ton by lower court, is unfair and unwarranted.
Nor is it too much TO say that if some obscure
student had become involved in the affair District
Attorney Moran would not have felt called upon
to interfere with the regular and orderly processes
of the law and the courts.

will be likely to ruin whatever chance OF election
to the governorship he has, and at the same time
wreck Democratic hopes for victory. Mr.. Moran

A SAILOR WHO
LOVED HIS SHIP.

One OF the pathetic stories OF the storm
that swept up the Atlantic coast a few
days ago was that Of the death OF Capt.
Matheson OF the schooner Nellie Floyd,
wrecked off the North Carolina coast. II
Is OF especial interest In this section be-
cause Capt. Matheson and his vessel were
well known hereabouts. For q number Of
years they had been frequent visitors at
Carolina and Georgia ports where ship
and master became familiar figures
When the Floyd foundered and II was
certain that she must leave her bones In
that marine graveyard off the North car
olna coast n life raft of matches was con-
structed and the crew. including the cap
tain. piled on IT, AS they were about 10
push OFF, trusting to fortune TO be picked
up by a passing ship. Capt. Matheson
looked back upon his beloved schooner
then in her death throes. His heart smote
him. He felt like a deserter
The suffering but inanimate hulk called
TO him, and he could not resist the call
II am going back, boysS' he said good
by, and good luck TO you" Then he
scrambled back 10 the decks, by that time
awash and fast settling. And In sight Of
the crew, the ship and her captain went
down to their fate.
IL is one OF Kipllng's favorite themes to
illustrate the affection OF a captain for
his ship and an engineer for his machin-
cry. II Is one OF the contentious OF pur-
lists that one cannot love anything incap-
able of returning affection In kind. but Il
Is no stretch OF the truth or license Of

poopled with shippers who love their
craft with such devotion that they prefer
death with them TO life without them.
