PLEASES REPUBLICANS.

The action of q majority of the
Democrats in the Charlotte prima-
ries in nominating a gentleman
for Roosevelt if he is nominted
for President next year and an
alderman who is an out and out
Republican has given gIandness and
joy to the hearts Of Republicans all
ovar the State. Under the title, All
Hail, Charlotte the TwiCe-a-week
Tar Heel, organ Of the Blackburn fac
ton, has the following as its leading
editorial in its last issue:

JUDSON HARMON'S COURAGE.

Hon. JudsOn Harmon, suggested as
the Democratic candidate for the pres
idency, showed professional courage
and civic virtue of the highest order
in an important case. The contrast
between his devotion TO the true rule
Of justice and the favoritism prac-
ticed by Mr.. Roosevelt adds to the
high minded course pursued by Mr..
Harmon. When Mr.. Roosevelt be-
gan the prosecution of the violatOrs
Of the law against rebating the coun-
try applauded his action and il de-
served the unstinted commentator it
received. Among the lawyers he Sc
lected TO prosecute the violators of
the rebate law Were Mr.. Judson Har-
mon, ex-Attorney General in Cleye-
lands cabinet. and Mr.. Judson, a lead
ing lawyer of st. Louis. These gen
tlemen entered into the case with the
rOper spirit and as a result of their
Investigations obtained evidence show
ing that Mr.. Paul Morton. then secre-
tary of the navy, nae been guilty Of
the violation of the law when he was
president of the Santa Fe railroad, and
they made ready TO prosecute him.
They were no respectors of persons
and they supposed the president want
ed them TO give "a square deal"
They soon had il straight from the
Department Of Justice that the ad-
ministration did not wish a member
Of the cabinet indicted, and hat Mr..
Harmon and Mr.. Judson must content
themselves with suing the railroad and
imprisoning the tracks and engines,
but under no circumstances must Mr..
Morton be put on trial, although the
evidence against him was deemed
clear enough to insure conviction. Mr..
Harmon and Mr.. Judson refused to
go OF With the case if the leading
offender was TO be permitted 10 escape
and the litigation was 10 be a farce.
What did Mr.. Roosevelt do? Instead
Of saying the law should be enforced
equally against Il cabinet officer as
well as against an humble citizen. he
found excuse for Mr.. Morton, gave
him q thick Goa of whitewash, and
passed him on 10 Mr.. Ryan to re
form" an insurance company that
was troubled because its officials had
been "rebating" and ~dishonestly using
the funds OF widows and orphans ia
help elect Roosevelt to the presidency.
The courageous action Of Attorney
Judson Harson ought TO live as an
example of the highest legal ethics
n devotion 10 correct public ideals.
No mar lacking in character, in
courage Of the right sort. and in stern
devotion 10 duty would have pursued
that manly course. Judson Harmon
IN this transaction will stand out high
above Theodore Roosevelt. thoueh the
quiet action Of Mr.. Harmon will be
forgotten by the many while the othe,
Lotion of the president have seemed
TO dull public criticism of an action
for which there is no defense, the oni,
excuse being one of favoritism TO-
ward a member of his cabinet. o,
! course Mr.. Morton wa not a SHINE,
above all railroad presidents. but Mr.
Harmon and Mr.. Judson believed n.
was a conspicuous sinner. The iron.
or course for Mr., Roosevelt to have
followed would have been 10 say r.

There is an ever growing arprecia-
an of the importance Of securing the
sompt delivery Of freights as well as
uitably apportipncd and just freight

e matter is one which cannot be set

ton, it is true that on the great mass

In recognition Of this condition there

CONFUSION BY PROHIBITION.

u is not infrcquently III case that
explanation Of an assertion tends 10
becloud rather than 10 clarity the
issue.
We take it thar his will be true
with the country at large in the case
Of Mr.. Roots Washington speech in
Which ne first asserts that there was
never a question of states rights in
the acknowledgements school contrO-
versy; and follows the statement b.
the explanation that, while there was
no question Of the right of the State,
there was a question of the right Of
the government to prohibit State ac-
ton contrary to the terms of the most
favored nation" treaty with Japan.
According to the logic of Mr.. Roo
the situation was something like this:
Under the treaty the United States
did not guarantee TO Japan that any
State in which her subjects might re-
side should either maintain public
schools or admit to such schools. if
| maintained, any alien resident.
But what the treaty did provide was
| that if any alien should be admitted
to the public schools. Japanese aliens
should be also admitted.
Or, put in the negative as Mr.. Root
insists that the proposition should
take form, that 10 State should admit
the alien resident of n country to
the schools unless it also admitted the
japanese alien.
From which Mr.. Root dcduces that
49, -- 1-- =. - 60, . -.oL.c
involved.
To the ordinary intellect, it would
appear that the right 20 exclude a par
ticular class Of citizens from certain
schools was a right" within the
meaning of the constitution; and that
the exercise of a prohibition by the
Federal government would be clearly
an interference with or denial of such
right. 1t IS conceivable that the
Californians might gladly accept in
the schools the children of German,
French, Italian and other foreign ele-
ments living in San Francisco and un-
naturalized and still, for reasons best
known to the people Of the State. de-
termine to segregate from such schools
children of Oriental parentage. Yet
if this We're done, ii might be pro-
hibited by the Federal Government as
in violation of its treaty with Japan
An@ This, according to Mr.. Root
would be no violation of States rights
but merely q prohibitio l of their ex-
ercise.
We are quite aware that even z
tentative criticism of the sublimateG
intellect of Mr.. Root ZONES perilously
close 10 lese majestic and, therefore
hasten to affirm that what has beer
here written is a mere confession o.
5 the sublimity of his argument. Per
hars we have misunderstood Mr.. Roo

duced the statements made above:
