IMPORTANCE OF OUR DEEP
CHANNEL SCHEME.

If Wilmington fails to get deeper
water it won be because The Mes
senge The Star and The Dispatch
W fallen short in vigorous and eff
fective advocacy.
AS n of the three Wilmington pa
pers mentioned in the above extract
from the editorial columns of the
Charlotte Observer We wish to thank
that paper for it's complimentary ref
erence to the work Of the papers Of
this city in behalf of a deep channel
from our city to the sea. This move
ment is attracting attention in all
parts of the state and in sections far
beyond her borders, and we believe
the great interest that is being taken
in the scheme is due, in great part, to
the prominence thai has been given
to it by the press of our city, aided by
the papers of the inland cities, who
realize the importance to their sec

make Wilmington a port of entry for
foreign and coastwise commerce, which
can be done only by giving her a deep
water channel to the sea.
We are panied, but can hardly say
that we are surprised, to see that the
only discordant note, the only word
uttered in opposition to this great
movement to free the commerce of our
state from the shackles of railroad
despotism, comes from our sister city
of the lower Cape Fear, Southport.
The weekly paper Of that city in its
last issue contained an article which
opposed most st%renuously, and at
tempted to belittle the claim of our
city, to secure government aid in CIV
ing her a deep water channel to the
sea.
We say this movement on the part
of our people has attracted attention
beyond the limits of the state. The
Importance of a deep water route to
our city is shown by the fact that
such a publication as The Manufacture
ers' Record, of Baltimore, should de-
vote a column of it's editorial space to
the subject.
In yesterdays Raleigh News and OBJ
server also we find an editorial of over
a column on the subject, which we
regret that lack of space will not per-
nit us to publish to day.
Other daily apers in inland cities
of the state have time and again re-
ferred to this matter. have given the
movement their hearty approval and
have advanced unanswerable argu-
ments to show what great advanta
would accrue to their sections of the
state from the construction of this
deep water channel in the lower Cape
Fear.
In another column our readers will
find The Manufacturers Record edi-
torial on this matter. Later on we
viii quote from and comment, if DEEM
ed necessary, from the adverse criti-
cisms of the Southport Herald on this
subject.

Already a squabble has been raised
in Alabama over Senator Morgan's
successor. According to the action of
the democratic convention of last fall
the governor will have to appoint
ex-Congressman Bankhead as Mr., Nor

that fact; but the question has been
raised whether the next legislature is
bound by the action OF the last conven-

ROOSEVELT AND HOkE SMITH

ISotbSE Fill AND 11ohE SMITH
Roosevelt and Hoke Smith is the re-
publican presidential ticket District
Attorney Harry Skinner wants to see
nominated. So says the Washington
correspondent of The News and OBJ
server who had a chat with that gen.
tleman n his assistant attorney, Mr..
J. A. Giles, who were at the depart
ment of justice on Thursday. When
asked why he proposed that ticket Mr..
Skinner replied that it would enable
the republicans to break the solid
south. He went on to express the be-
lief hat Mr.. Roosevelt would be re-
nominated and would receive by far
the greatest vote ever given any can
didate for the presidency; ever that
with a fair count" he would carry
North Carolina. Mr.. Giles expressed
belief in the same result in this state
without the qualification of a fair
count"
While at the department of justice
Mr.. Skinner met Senator Knox, who
was attorney general at the time of
the formers first appointment as dis
trict attorney and signed his COM
mission. This fact was alluded to in
pleasant terms, but we judge from
the way in which the district attor-
ney afterward spoke of Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination thai such fact will
not secure his support for Pennsyl-
vania's '"favorite son."
What a medley of politics we have
in this country as the result of the
war between the states and the sub
sequent reconstruction and carpetbag
rule period, resulting in the solid dem
ocratic south. The placing of a north
ern man at the head of the republican
presidential ticket does not effect it's
strength in the south. The democratic
party fears to place a man from the
south even in second place on it's
ticekt lest it will weaken it among
northern democrats. A republican
wants a southern democrat put on
his party's ticket in second place in
order to break the solid democratic
south. What a remarkable political
condition these three propositions
taken together show to exist in this
country. We do not think the demo-
cratic party CT the south should any
longer make itself a party to contin-
uing any such state of affairs. It
should say to the northern democrats:
I'VE are as good democrats as you
are, and we demand that you admit
us to the same privileges in the party
as you claim for yourselves. AL the
loyalty t the government and to the
nation in the party does not lie on
your side of Mason and Dixon's line.
We have equal rights as you in the
party and we demand that they be re-
cognized. We do not demand a place
on the presidential ticket, but We do
demand that we be not deharred ho-
cause of our locality" The southern
democrats should have demanded this
long ago. Had they done SO political
~sectionalism would now be a thing of
the past and the cry would no longer
be heard as it now is even from
some of our own peoI.e-that it won't
do to put a southern man on the DEM
ocratic ticket.
