THE friends of Uncle Joe"
seem to be getting in their work
in Durham county, but the fun
will not begin until the county
convention meets. If the ap-
preaching convention can muster
up as much fun as the former
meeting, all who attend will
be well repaid for the time spent
in attending.

PRESIDENT ROOsEvELT'S.
Unqualified Endorsement of
Uncle Joe Cannon.

Uncle Joe Cannon.
The following excerpts from a
letter of the president, written
to Representative Watson from
Oyster Bay, New York, August
IS, 1906, clearly and forcefully
gives the presidents opinion of
the speaker, and suggests the
metal of which Uncle Joe is
made. The letter in part reads:
With Mr.. Cannon as speaker,
the house has accomplished a lit
orally phenomenal amount of
good work. 1t has shown a cour-
age, good sense and has shown a
courage, good sense andpatrioism
such that it would be a real and
serious misfortune for the coun-
try to fail to recognize. To
change the leadership and orga-
nization of the house at this time
means to bring confusion upon
those who have been successfully
engaged in the steady working
out of a great and comprehen-
sive scheme for the betterment
of our social, industrial and civ
ic conditions. Such a change
would substitute purposeless
confusion, a violent and hurtful
oscillation between the positions
of the extreme radical and the
extreme reactionary for the pres
ent orderly progress along the
lines of a careful throughout
policy.
Had congress been either timid
or corrupt. and had not the lead
ers of congress shown the most
far-sighted resolution in the mat
ter, the work of building the
canal would never have been be-
gun, or, if begun, would now
have halted.
1t is not too much to say that
the course o. congress in the last
few years, and the hearty agree
ment between the executive and
legislature departments of the
nation in taking the needed &C.
ton each within its on sphere,
have resulted in the nation for
the first time definitely entering
upon the career of proper per-
Torrance of duty in these mat
tiers.
Perhaps the peculiar merit of
these laws is best shown by the
fact that whilethey have aroused
the deepest anger of the reac-
tionaries, of the men who make
a fetish of wealth, they have not
satisfied the unwise extremists:
and the present congress in
achieving this merit, has ccted
in the exact spirit of Abraham
Lincoln, who was never to be
frightened out of going forward
by the cries of those who feared
progress, nor yet to be hurried
into a precipitate advance b. the
demands of the ctude-thinking,
though often well-meaning, men
who are not accustomed seberly
to distinguish letween phrase
making and action.
In addition IN tins lpatira,

applause from his friends and
not his enemies. North Carolina
should, of all states, be for him.
1T is said that administration
is for Taft, and that, therefore,
| the office-holders are for him.
If that be true, and Secretary
Taft should be nominated and
elected, then his first act should
be to carry out his southern
scheme, launched at Greensboro
two years ago-turn out the re-
publican offce-holders and put
in their places respectable demo-
Gratis. To oppose a native son
and follow the administration
invites that fate and proves that
the secretary's observations were
we'll founded and that the republic
can party in this state deserves
the rebuke.
do you think of the men
holding office under Mr.. Roose-
welt will be for Mr., Cannon"
asked the Observer correspondent.
Certainly l do" replied Mr..
Linney. Il know many of them.
Of course, in all parties.
"You shall mark
Many a duteous and knee-creek-
ing knave
That, doting on his own OBJ
sequious bondage.
Wears out his time much like his
masters ass,
For naught but provender.
Many of the very best men
in the state are holding official
positions under the present ad-
ministration who reserve to them
selves the right to be free in the
selection of Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cessor, and you will find many of
them who will refuse to play the
role of their masters ass for
provender."
AS a parting shot the cores
pondent asked: do you believe
Mr.. Cannon will carry the
counties in your congressional
district.
Il believe he will carry every
county in the district, if any
effort is made in his behalf.
There are. possibly. two doubt
full counties in to district. The
mountain counties are certainly
for Cannon bnd a return to safe
aud sane" republicanism. You
may say that the eighth district
will send two delegates to the
national convention instructed to
vote for Cannon. Charlotte OBJ

Base BALL

A big crowd took in the game between
the Presbyterian and Methodist Sunday
schools last Friday atternoon-and every
one got their moneys worth of fun.
The flaming was something fierce
throughout the game. and every spec
taeular play was eheered until the "wel-
kin rang" For the first three innings the
Presbyterian boys had things coming
their way and it looked pretty blue for
their opponents who failed to get run
until the fourth time at bat. Seven to
nothing was the score when the Metho-
dist lads settled down to business and
gave good exhibition Of how TO pull
game out Of the fire. finally winning out
by score Of II to 10 with an inning to
spare. Honors were very even through
out the game, but the Methodist battery
did the business.
Hard hitting on the part Of the home
team was the feature Of last Sundays
game here between Fowler and Rocky
Ford. The locals early in the game got
onto "Silent" Rosson's curves and battsd
him out Of the box in the third inning.
But the pitcher who succeeded him Jared
no better and the local team had = sur
felt Of base running. The score was:
Fowler. 2: Rocky Ford IL. A crowd Of
about 500 yellss themselves hoarss
over the winning streak developed by our
boys.
The Colorado Springs stats league
team is billed to meet the Rocky Ford
boys on the home diamond this friday
afternoon and a good classy article in the
way Of a ball game Is looked for. The
visiting team is at the head Of the state
league and the locals will have to go
some" TO win out.
The Presbyterian and Methodist Juniors
will meet on the home diamond tomorrow
Saturday afternoon. and q warm con-
test is looked for. a. the boys want to
show their seniors how the game should
be played.
The Rocky Ford team goes to Fowler

yHr woMEN or ALABAMA.

One of the most interesting signs of the times is the gradual change in public opinion towards women's clubs and what they stand for.
 When women first began to band together and to do and say things col actively their meetings were regarded with much the same suspicion that at- tends the assembling of street crowd in a Russian village. and there was among the unfair sex a general, un- easy feeling that the Cossacks would better dash in and disperse them. The men got scared and talked about Home with capital "H." And they made that fuss about the BABY that a body would have thought they were nearly willing to get in hand-shaking dist ance of 1t. themselves.
 The whole truth of it was the men were afraid that women were going to get into politics and make them sit up straight and behave themselves, and they had awful nightmares about being sent back to Sunday School.
 But. the skies are clearing. The wo- men of Alabama have declared that they do not want the ballot They have. said in effect that they would not undertake the job of regenerating the present man. for pay. They have they affect that BABY that has caused 50 much concern. They have demon strated that they not only do not want to shirk their duties as mothers, but that they want to be able to per- form those duties more perfectly, more completely. They want to bring larger intelligence and a higher gem erals aim to bear on the reering Of tha future citizens of Alabama.
 They have formed themselves Into clubs for the purpose of cultivatiug their minds and hearts by courses of study In literature history, science and all questions of the day, that they may bring a broader understanding to thfir wonian's work, and for. the purpose Of discussing together those problems which, in the nature of things. belong to woman for solution, but which af- feet the whole destiny of man In the solving.
 These women. are intelligent they are earnest. they are true, They are not seeking to invade the province of man. They only ask to be allowed to do and to become that which is the highest expression of distinctive womanhood. 6
