THE GLENN BOOM FOR PRESI-
DENT.

We thought this railroad fight would
boost Governor Glenn pretty high
among some politicians and personal
friends, but we did not for a moment
to suppose that his victory over the
railroads. would put the presidency
within his grasp, but it seems we we're
greatly mistaken. 1t is said Glenn is
the man for the democrats to nomi-
nate; that his state is going to put
him forward and that Bryan will sup
port him. These facts put him in the
White house after March 4, 1909, of
course. A Glenn democratic presi-
Dental club has been formed at Spray,
N. c., Mr.. Glenn's place of birth, and
The New York Times is trying 20
work up a boom for him, as is SHOWN
by the following dispatch in the
Charlotte Chronicle from Columbia,
S. c.:
AN interesting echo of the Boom
that is being launched for Governor
Glenn, Of North Carolina, for the DEM
ocratic presidential nomination ONE
from a telegram received for Governor
Ansel this morning from The New
York Times. Governor Ansel's views
could not be obtained, on ccOun Of
his being out Of the city: The tele-
gram said: Can you favor The New
York Times with a ~telegraphed ex-
preston OF your views on the North
Carolina situation and on Governor
Glenn as a democratic presidential
candidate? Our dispatches tonight say
the state will put him forward in con-
ventiOn and Bryan will support hiri."
We are inclined to think this is a
boom that will die a-bornin'.

POLITICS IN IT.

The Messenger is not the only news

else but politics in the railway rate
fight il this state. The Greensboro
Record. in an issue OF its paper rrlO-
to the announcement Of the result Ct
the conference on the question in Raj
eigh on Saturday. said:
while Senator Overman may be
feeling easy, he might Je made to feel
otherwise in the event Governor Glenn
wins out in this rate fight. No power
on earth could prevent him being elect
ed United States senator. 1t seems too
little to think about, but some Of the
railroads in this state would spend
half a million dollars rather thar to
see him go to the senate
On the subject of the politics in the
fight hat is being waged against tie
railroads the AshevilIe Gazette-News
says:
THE legislature of Alabama has ap-
propriated funds with which to con-
test the new rate law, but Governor
Conner says nothing will be done to
obstruct the orderly processes of the
federal courts The Alabama and
North Carolina cases are the same,
but it seems that the eAlgencies of the
political situation are different"

ed BY the governor or the legislature.
No state in the union during the en-
tire existence of this nation had a
finer judiciary than did North Carolina
up to the time of the change by COZ
stitutional amendment in the manner
Of choosing our judges The charges
made against the system of an appoint
i've judiciary are a reflection OF such
men as Iredell, Haywood, Henderson,
Rufin, Toomer. Nash, Mangum, Bad
ger, Strange, Settle, Pearson, Battle,
Daniel, CASTOR and a host of others,
who were judges in this state before
it was thought necessary that the
judges should be elected by the people
in order to get an honest and capable
judiciary. Have we bad any judges
On the bench since 1868 with whC,n
those above named compare unfavor-
ably as to ability and integrity? On
the contrary did not our state have,
as a rule, a better judiciary then than
we have had since? The claim that
we can get good judges only when
they are elected by the people is a plea
of demagogues who play to the gallery
for popular favor. They know that
since the elective system was inaugu~
rated North Carolina has MOTTO put
it in the mildest form-bettered The
standing OF her judiciary. On the con-
trary there have been some men called
to the bench in this state by popular
election since that system was inaug-
.urated under republican reconstruc-
ton rule whose conduct and display,
on the bench, Of ignorance of the law
have been of a character to bring the
blush Of shame to the most ignorant
and uneducated spectators in the court
house. This popular election of judges
is one OF the few innovations put
upon Our people by the Candy consti-
tuition which the democrats have not
thrown off since coming into power,
and it should have been one of the first
repudiated.

admitted his recognition OF the fact
that the Coast Line had a much strong

THE n SHEETS.

Now there IS a val Cd the funny
sheets of the big Sunday newspapers.
The cry is made that they have bad
effect on the V systems OF chill
dren. The winston Sentinel JOINS this
army Of oppCn.Hts to innocent abuse
ment of the children, saying:
The colored supplement of the Sun
day newspaper amuses children but
is evil in its effects. Physicians be-
lieve that the nervous system of chill
dren is stimulated too much these
days, and the colored supplements
are one cause of might terrOrs.'
Those crude pictures badly drawn and
cOlOred, Vitiate the taste n deprave
the view of things which it is desiTd-
BILE person should have. The one main
a why the Sunday papers use
such supplements is that they help 10
sell the paper and increase circula-
ton"
This is just a degree more non
sensical than the warfare periodically
Waged against the time honored and
beautiful practice of teaching the lit
tie ones to believe that Santa Ciahs
brings them their Christmas presents
in his snow sledge driven by his twelve
beautiful reindeer. Any doctor who
will advance such a theory should have
his license to practice medicine taken
away from him.

THE LATE SENATOR PETTUs

By the action of the democratic pri-
mary in Alabama last fall ex-GoTeTn-
or Joseph T. Johnston becomes the
successor of Senator Pettus who died
at Hot Springs, this state, Saturday
night. We suppose the legislature vii.
carry out the instructions of the pri-
mary by electing Mr.. Johnston 10 the
unexpired term, as it did in the cleo
ton Of ex-COngressman Bankhea6 10
succeed the lat Senator Morgan. The
Pettus term will expire Oh March 4,
1909.
There is a peculiar circumstance re-
lated in connection with Mr.. Pettus'
first election to the senate, which vas
in 1896, he then being seyenty-five
years old. He applied q short while
before that time TO mis- predecessor
in the senate for the latter's influence
in securing a judgeship. The request
was refused on the ground that he
was too old. Mr.. Pettus reply was:
Il will show you l am not too old to
succeed you as United States senator
and he succeeded TOO. That was the
first political Office he had eve held.
He was unanimously reelected in
1903.

Next Saturday is Une day or
which Judge Lands, in the federal
court in Chicago, will pass sentence
on the Standard Oil Company in tie
cases in which it has been indicted
in that court. There were 1862
convictions for violation of the il
terstate commerce lay. Il the max
imum fine is imposed in each case
the total will amount to z9,24O,-
OOO. 1t is not probable that fines to
hat amount will be imposed, bnt, it
is said that no matter in what
amount the company IS mulcted
there will be an appeal to the su-
preme court. Besides the other
points raised in the case the one
will be made that the act of congress
is in violation of that provision Of
the constitution which prohibits
the imposition of excessive fines and
penalties-the same question which
has been raised in the railway rate
law in this state and on which Judge
Pritchard has passed N favor of
those contending for its unconstitu-
tiOnality.
