The Spirit of Peace.

First in war, first in peace is
really q record for q state to be
proud OF.
The part played by the Tar
Heel state in the wars ofthe past
is a story the present generation
cherishes with tender pride. May
the tiIEe never come when sons
and daughters Of the patriots
who by their valor placed North
Carolina at the head of the list
of states in patriotism and devo
tion to principle, will forget to
revere and prize their sacred mem
ory.
On yesterday there was opened
in Greensboro on the historic bat
tie ground, that witnessed t h e
crisis of the Revolutionary war
in the South-what has now be-
come famous as the North Caro-
lima Peace Congress. 1t is the
first gathering OF it's kind on rec
ord, To the Tar Heel state goes
credit and honor OF first inaugu-
rating a congress whose purpose
shall be to strive for universal
peace, and the furtherance of the
great principle of arbitration.
Civilization is rapidly steering
the nations OF the world away
from the bloody paths of war
fare. Christianity has taught
men that there are better meth
DDS of settling disputes than
with gattling gun and sabre.
The recognition Of an arbitra-
ry board, to act as peacemaker
between belligerent forces, is one
of the best indications of the up
ward trend OF our civilization.
Today in most instances trikes
are settled by arbitration. Inter-
national disputes are wiped out
in such peace tribunals as t h Q
Hague, and all nations express a
wish to arbitrate differences rath
err than be forced to come to
terms only after the slaughter OF
human life and the destruction
of property.
1t was an advanced apprecia-
tion OF the Importance of arbi-
tration in the fate OF nations
that inspired the formation Of
the North Carolina Peace Con-
gress. 1t is t h e greatest step
ever taken by n state, and nat
urally it is meeting with the hear
ty approval of the national gov
ernmpnt as well as all the states.
The president is in hearty accord
with the innovation.
First in war; first in peace
Glorious old North Carolina,
trailing perhaps foryears in mat
ters of general education and in
dustrial activity, bnt always
with a patriotism unexcelled, as
well as a spirit that prefers tram
guilty and good will.
Great old state. The new Or
ganization is only another ave-
nue. through which her greatness
becomes more evident.

I he Bee Stung.

The great majority of thenews
papers i'll the big cities of the
country are either Republican or
anti-Bryan. 1t cannot be s q d
that many assuming to be nom
partisan are sufficiently fair to
reflect credit upon themselves
while many that are lined up Tor

ism. Many of these are without
conception of the meaning OF
square dealing.
One OF the most ludicrous exhi-
bitlons of unfairness was made
on Saturday by the Omaha Bee,
of which Mr.. Victor Roswater,
member OF the Republican eXecu-
tive committee and chief of the
Republican publicity bureau, is
editor and publisher. The Bee
quoted this alleged extract from
a speech Of Mr.. Bryan:
"In all tariff legislation t h G
true principle is best maintained
by the imposition OF such duties
as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with
reasonable profit to American
INDUSTRIES
+ Editor Rosewater was right.
eously indignant at that alti-
tude, and made this comment
thereon:
"Nothing prettier in this catch
all line has been offered in this
campaign. The most hide bound
stand-patter in the country can
accept that as satfactory a d
the ;ankeSt free trader can find
delight in it. The declaration
means simply nothing. An at
tempt to lrgirlate along that line
would simply open the way to
intermlnable wrangling as what
constitutes a reasonable profit,
for hair-splitting on wages on
one industry, price OF raw mate
rials in another, rebates IN d
drawbacks in q third, and so on
through the list of thousands OF
articles that are now on the tar
iff revision, at Bryan's direction,
would serve only to halt indus
trial and commercial progress
and keep business unsettled du-
ring his term of Office"
The Omaha Bee, q Republican
paper, was right in its definition
of that proposed tariff legisla
tion, it was right in scoring I'M
mercifully the author. 1t was on.
ly wrong in attributing it to Mr..
Bryan, when it was a part of the
tariff plank in the Republican
platform which Editor Rosewa-
ter is supporting.
And that spirit of almost in,
sane prejudice is by no means
confined to the Omaha Bee.
knowledge of Bryan's advocacy
of a policy is all that is needed
by some newspapers to condemn
that policy; the Identical sugges-
tion from Taft would be applau-
dpd. The Omaha bee has furnish
ed an amusing and interesting
illustration of Republican SINGER.

With an oath Trent struck at his RI

But there are other kinds OF laugh
ter. OF these the sneering laugh is the
most familiar Then there IL the quiet
laugh-a sIbllant, secretive sort OF
thing, which Is almost invariably
sign of mischief. Another laugh. dis
agreeable to hear, Is high pitched and
nervous sounding. 1t is the outcome of
embarrassment or merely vocal hab-

Perhaps the worst laugh OF oil is the
mirthless sound accustomed by the dis

1t invariably wounds most the butt OF
