TUESDAY.


It is always a mistake for a minis
ter of the gospel, whether a circuit
rider or a bishop, to lend the weight
of his name in any contest to those
who are fighting the forces that make
for better things. For that reason
there was regret among the good peo-
pie of Raleigh because, upon his re-
cent visit to this city, Bishop Hail
took occasion to declare prohibition
a failure-regret because the bishop
was mistaken and regret because such
u~tterances from the pulpit do not help
forward the cause of temperance. Pro-
hibition is a failure in some places,
We grant, but never in any place
where there is a sound moral pubhc
sentiment behind the law. Such senti-
ment may be lacking in the diocese
of Bishop Hall, but it is not lacking
In many North Carolina towns and
cities. rs this paragraph from the
Greensboro Record shows:
Gee whillikins. Here is Bishop
Hall, of Vermont. saying In a sermon
1t Raleigh last Sunday that prohibit
ton IS a failure-in New England at
least. Here's a chance for the pure In
heart to get on him. However, New
England is not North Carolina and
Greensboro in particular. If the good
bishop will come UP this way and find
any saloons under the ground or
anywhere else, we know a few hum
tired people who will be much obliged
for the information"
Bishop Hall was emphasizing the
ruth that men should be temperate
from conviction and from principle,
and these two motives should be
stressed by the pulpit, n he was
e~ternally right. The only real and
permanent temperance reform is in the
heart of the man, but this does not
imply that temptations should be
placed before weak men and men
cursed with love of drink on every
corner. If the temptation afforded
by a saloon is withdrawn, many men
will not fall a prey to appetite and
will be saved to their families and to
The State. There are many men who
ean drink moderately without injury
TO society or, seemingly, to themselves.
To such men the call to shut up the
saloons is one that should be thun-1
dered from every pulpit and corner
with Bible authority: If eating meat
causeth my brother to Offend, l will
Eat no more meat" It is an appeal to
the highest In a man to refrain from
something he deems harmless because
1t is poison to his neighbor. That is
the strongest and highest argument
that can be made for shutting up the
saloon, and as men become more and
more altruistic that argument will
have greater weight.

The status of the much-talked of
and nonresident compromise of the
rate litigation between the State of
North Carolina and the Southern Rail-
way is this. President Finley has
made a proposition to the Governor
asking him to recommend to the Leg
islature q rate very nue. like that
Governor Conner will recommend to
the Alabama Legislature. The Cover
nor Will never make such recommend
alton and will agree to nothing that
does no. involve the acceptance n
carrying cut the . Ia cent rate. If,
after a air trial that rate should so
reduce the income of the railroad as
to deny j, fair returns upon the in
vestrlent, the Governor would recon-
mend sue. increase as might be nee
essary to give such fair return. mas
much as. since the new rate went into
effect, tIlt Southern Railways cash
receipts fras.1 passengers have been
ten per cent more than in the same
period under the higher rate. il Will
have to show a great change to make
any such recommendation necessary.

Bishop Hall evidently thought that

North Carolina. The church regards
closing saloons as an important aid

state shuts of the inviting temptation.

UNCLE SAM Has BEEN oENERoUs-
WITH HomEsTEAp Set
TIERS.

Washington, oct. g. Uncle Sam
gave away in the neighborhood Of 120.
900 farms to homestead settlers during
the last year, according to the report
Of the commissioner Of the general
land office. The acreage taken under
the homestead and other laws aggre.
gated 17,S53,636. Divided into 100
acre tracts, this would make 117,400
farms. But in many cases the home
steaders took less than 100 acres, so
the officials say that the total home
steads will run close to 100000.
Homestead settlement took place in
all the public land states, with the ex.
ception of Louisiana and Wyoming.
According to the figures, Louisiana
has 5,446 acres more public land now
than 1t had last year. The officials say
the only way to account for it is that
homesteaders have been relinquishing
claims in those states and taking them
elsewhere. Alaska reported no home
steading at all.
The commissioner of the general
land office has issued pamphlet
showing the unappropriated lands Of
the United States on July last, Ac.
cording to it Minnesota still has 2,154,.
255 acres of land subject to homestead
entry. North Dakota has 2.899,6S5
acres, South Dakota 7,S30,765 acres
and Wisconsin has 1920.

AMBASSADOR TOWER TO QUIT.
Asks President to Relieve Him From
Duty in Berlin Next Spring.


Duty in Berlin Next Spring.
Berlin, Oct. 6.-Ambassador Tower
has writted to President Roosevelt
Roosevelt asking that he be permitted
to retire from the diplomatic service
next spring Mr.. Towers reasons are
understood to be that he, has been
abroad for nearly eleven years and
desires again to live in his own coun-
try in order to have home there for
his sons, who are now nearly ready to
go to Harvard. and to give his per-
sonal attention to his extensive finan-
cial, mining and railroad interests
that have been left to the supervision
of others.
AS the lease on Mr.. Towers house
in Berlin expires next spring, 1t is pre-
sumed he will remain as ambassador
until after that time. Mr.. and Mrs.
Tower and two young daughters are
at present in Baden Baden. They in
tend to return here the end of this
month.
Mr.. Towers retirement will remove
from the diplomatic list one Of the
most experienced of the American rep
resentatives in Europe. He has been
continuously minister and ambassador
longer than any other diplomat In the
American service.
