Judge Pritchard.

This railroad lawyer on the Federal
bench, who would have governed the
State of North Carolina by Federal in
junction if that State had lacked a
Man in the governors chair, appears
to have been appointed to the bench by
President Rooseveltin the face of the
fact that he, while United States SEN
ator from North Carolina, took fee
for practicing as a lawyer before one
Of the departments at Washington.
This is precisely what Senator Burton
Of Kansas was prosecuted and impris-
oned for doing. Isn't it queer fitting Of
penalties to crimes to send one Senator
to Jail and another to the bench for the
same offense? Possibly Prichard's rail
road affiliations operated ASIA hitigat-
ing circumstance The Public.

Bryan's Candidacv.

The Democratic voters of the United
States hold it in their power this min
ute and will continue to hold it in their
power until the closing of the polls in
1908, to elect Democratic President.
They hold it in their power to nomi-
nate and elect William j. Bryan. But
to do this, the trust influence must be
nullifed in Democratic politics. The
issue must be one drawn and written
with all the fearful sincerity of the
zealot. It is that of the people, the
real creators Of real wealth and real
values and real Justice against the
spurious and despotic despoilers OF
their Constitution and God given rights.
The name Of the issue signifies nothing
the spirit and the principle, everything.

RIoodshed In Belfast Riot.
Serious riots marked the dock strike
at Belfast, Ireland. Opposing crowds
of men got to fighting in the streets,
and, the police being powerless, the
troops We're called upon. Soldiers and
police together charged the stone
throwing rioters, and hand to hand en-
counters ensued. many on both sides
being so severely wounded that they
had to be removed in ambulanccs.
Then, after a formal reading of the
riot act, the troops We're ordered to fire
volley into the mob. Two Of the
mob, man and woman, We're in
stantly killed, and many others were
wounded. This occurred near the con-
stable barracks, where the people had
gathered in the attack on the police.
Later the strike Of the carriers, which
originated the strikes In other lines of
labor at Belfast and the various lock-
outs, was settled by mutual concession,
the men agreeing to resume work at
once with a considerable Increase in
pay, while the employers have the
privilege of employing union or non
union men, as they please.
French Socialists Patriotic.
! The conferences of French Socialists
at Nancy reaffirmed the declaration
made last year that it is the duty of
their membership to defend the coun-
try ifsattacked. The radicals, led by
Herye, fought the resolution and held
that militarism, being the natural eff
feet of n capitalistic system and based
on the antagonism of class interests,
should be fought with military
strike in case Of war. The majority,
led by Juare, while favoring a con-
tinuation Of the campaign for interna-
tional socialism and the suppression Of
war and militarism, thought 1t I'M
| reasonable to ask the French Social
lists to refuse to defend their country,
J especially utter Herr Bebel, the Ger
man Socialist leader, had announced
that his followers would defend their
country in case Of war. The resolu-
ton was adopted by a vote OF o51 to
Al. This places the party before the
world as a patriotic peace party.

Washington, April 26,-Secretary Wilson Thursday created, by execu- tive order, the board of food and drug inspection, whose duty it shall be tc administer the national pure fooa law.

Me Cabe. solicitor of the department of agriculture.
 Secretary Wilson has found it prac- tically impossible to take the re- quired time to go into all the neces- sary details imposed in the admins tration of the pure food law. The amount of administrative work in this connection he says, has been rapidly increasing and to keep up with it he has found would take absolutely all his time. President Roosevelt heart fly assented to the plan of placing the administration of the laws in the hands of board
 The appointment of Dr. Dunlap was
 
 the direct result of correspondence the president has had with presidents of the large colleges of the country. Dr. Dunlap leaves an important post In the University of Michigan, from which University he graduated in chemistry h 1892 and from Harvard in 1895. since which time he has de- voted his time to college worK in that science. Dr. Dunlap will receive a salary of $3,500 a year and will de- vote his entire time to the adminis- tration of the pure food law.
 To comply with the letter of the act, Secretary Wilson will sign all administrative acts in connection with the pure food law but says he will feel entire confidence in acting with out investigation on the recommenda- tion of the board.
