The Augusta Herald seems to in
dorse the idea that government own

that comes we will have negro con-

What is the proper solution of the
railroad question is a problem with
which all the countries of the world
are graphing. 1t may be that it is
government ownership; but this has
not as yet been demonstrated, and the
Times-RecOrder is jumping at. conclu-
sions when it puts the Herald down
at this time as indOrsing government
ownership. 1t is also jumping at
conclusions when it says that under
government ownership we would have
negro conductors in the South If for
no other reason than because of the
fact that the people of the South
would unanimously agree not to al
low it would prevent such an imposi-
ton.

THE HEIR OF NORFOLK,
Joy of Englands Premier Peer at the
Birth of Son Who Will Sue
coed Him

LONDON, July 3.-Not even the birth
of royai baby has caused more inter
est and rejoicing than the arrival of a
son and heir at Arundel castle, the feu.
ial stronghold in Sussex which has been
the home OF the Dukes Of Norfolk for
many centuries. The baby's father, the
fifteenth Duke of Norfolk, premier peer
aud earl marshal of England, has been
overwhelmed with congratulations cspa-
cially from Catholics, for he is the rrcoE-
nized lay leader of the Church of Eng
land.
Some interesting details have been
learned concerning the manner i'll which
the duke received the glad tidIngs from
the nurse. The duke was so overcome
with JOY that he actually sobbed. Then
without Il hat he flew ont of the castle
to the magnificent cathedral, which he
has built in the village, and there he
kuelt III prayer. The senior priest of the
cathedral ut once ordered all the bells
To be rung, and SO the news spread for
miles throughout the countryside.
The infant Earl of Arundel is indeed,
very important person. lis arrival full
fills the hope Of an elderly duke for a
son to whom he could hand down the
historic title. The Duke Of Norfolk has
waited many years for son and heir.
The only child of his iir, marriage died
IN 1902, at the age of -, a hopeless IDIOT
and cripple. The frs duchess died of
grief when her son was ) years old.
After the death Of his son, the duke
married the Hon. Gwoalolen Constable

of his own faith. Their union was

MENICO CITY, July 3.-According

work of the recent Washington peace

suit in the aSceudancy OF Jose Santos

BIG VICE PRESIDENTS.
Nothing in the Office to Warrant Its
Being Tossed Aside.

In the first days of the republic the
vice presidency was the consolation
prize for the candidate for the presi-
dency who received the second highest
vote This system, however, insured
the election of a strong man, under or
binary circumstances, since he was pre-
sumably the best mon of the opposite
party, Some Of the most iflustrious
names in the early history of the coun-
try graced the roster or Vice Presi-
dents, and even after the old plan was
abandoned and the successful party
won all, while the losing party lost
all, there have been enough "big" men
elected to the second highest Office in
the government to relieve it from tho
opprobrium Of what Mr.. Cleveland so
felicitohsly called "innocuous des-
uetude"
The murder of three Presidents with

forty years has called dramatic atten-
ton to the importance of filling this

vice presidency which would warrant
anybody, no matter how big" In his
own State or in his own estimation,
of tossing it aside as beneath his dig
nifty.
Or the twenty-six men who have been
elected Vice Presidents, eight, or al
most one In every three, have succeeded
to the presidency, either by election or
through the death or assassination Of
the President. Adams, jefferson and
Van Buren, were elected In the regular
course of affairs; Tyler and Fillmore
succeeded through the death OF the
President from natural causes, white
johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt came
into the highest office through the
assassination of the president-Mr.
Roosevelt having the added distinction
of having been also elected in regular
course.
