OGDEN'S NEW MOVE.

Mr.. Robert c. Ogden, Of New York.
head OF what Is known as the Ogden
southern educational movement, has
gone off On another tack which will
be as distasteful to the southern peo-
pie as the other. He wants to secure
government aid for education in the
south. Our children must be sent to
governmeHtaide schools, the idea we
suppose Is our people are too poor
to educate their own children and are
willing for them to be dependent on
the national government for what ed
Gcation they may secure This is
a species Of paternalism combined with
charity which we do not believe our
people will ever be willing to accept
OF course schools aided, by govern
nent charity would have to be con-
Quoted along lines laid out by the
federal government; our people would
be deprived of the control OF their
own schools and their management
would be based on instructions from
Washington. Does Mr.. Ogden or any
other man outside of lunatic asylum
tEiRk the people Of the south would
be willing to conduct their school
system on such principles? If Mr..
Ogden thinks the states of the south
need such aid he should read what
Mr.. Ray Stanard Baker has to say
about public education in this state
after having made a personal inspec-
ton Of our system and gathered the
facts at first hands.

APPEAL TO SOUTHERN NEGROES

A body of negroes in Washington
City known es the 'colored vigilance
campaign committee" has issued an
appeal to the negroes of the south to
secure the election of Foraker dele
gates to the national convention, but
they are to support Senator Fairbanks
in case Senator Foraker's nomination
cannot be secured. The idea is any
thing to defeat Secretary Taft.
Why should such an appeal be made
to the negroes of the south especially
and to them only and not to those of
the northern states also? There would
be more possibility of success in urg-
ing such course of action on the latter,
particularly in the several large states
where they hold the balance of power
politically, and a determination not
to vote the ticket of Mr. Taft should
be the nominee might have some
weight. The negroes of the South are
not recognized as political factor
are even not taken into conSidera-
ton by the leaders of that party in
those states. The republican party
can neither gain anything by their
strict adherence to the party nor lose
by cutting entirely loose from it.
There would be some reason in the
negroes in such states as New York,
Ohio and Illinois demanding recogni-
ton in the convention, coupled with
the threat that they would not sup
port the ticket unless it was given and
the man of their choice nominated.
But what possible effect could it have
were every southern state to have a
contesting negro delegation knocking
at the convention door? With the Taft
men in control of the convention not
one of them would be seated, the ad-
ministration faction well knowing
that it's candidate would not be. weak
sned by single vote in the electoral

JUSTICE NOT A CANDIDATE

Hon. E. J. Justice writes letter
to Mr.. ]. w. Pless, a lawyer Of Marion,
in which he states that he is not a
candidate for the Office of attorney
general He says that he has been
rendered support by many people; that
more than seventy-five of the mem
bers of the house Of representatives
and seventy-fiye per cent. Of
the democrats generally whose views
he knows would support him and he
has no doubt of his ability to secure
the nomination. He then in column
and a half article gives what he calls
his reasons for not desiring to be a
candidate. One is that it would in
terfere with his private practice and
if he were elected would involve fl
nancial sacrifices he could not afford
to make. Another is that from now
until the next general election he
wants to be in a position to freely ex-
press his views about, public ques-
tions and candidates. The balance of
the letter, forming nearly column in
the Charlotte Observer, is in the ma
ture of a stump speech on the sub
iect of railroads and trusts of the kind
that he usually makes On the hustings
and in the legislature.

CANNON DOwNED IN CAROLINA.


The Landmark, of Statesyille. says
that ex-Congressman Blackburn was
Ia that town last Tuesday in the in
terest of the presidential boom OF
Speaker Cannon. 1t is a forlorn hope
be is leading. Doesn't Mr. Blackburn
know the Cannon boom has bust

Tuesday he knows It now since the
Republican conventions OF Wake and
Guilford counties held on last Satur-
day declared for Mr.. Taft The
Messengers prediction, made a few
days ago that the speaker would
not get a single vote in the con-
ventions from this state, will surely
prove TO be correct, and we are glad
t. know that 1t will be 50. We do
not want to see the republicans OF
this state lower themselves by CIV
ing any support to a man who is
ashamed of-even shows a contempt
for-the state of his birth North
Carolina is no more responsible than
is he for his birth within her bor-
derc, and it is an historical fact that
che has no reason to be proud of.

HEARST FOR ROOSEVELT?

What a tumble politics is in and
what varied opinions people express.
Here comes the Baltimore American,
which thinks Mr. Hearst will have
his Independent party nominate Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Can it be possible that
he has some such idea and that it
was the moving cause of not holding
his party's convention until after the
other two? The action of his con-
vention will, Of course, depend some
what on that of the others-as to
whom they nominate. With Mr.. Bryan
the nominee of one and on anti
Roosevelt policies man as that OF
the other, would Mr.. Hearst think he
could with Mr.. Roosevelt as his can
didate draw enough votes from the
other two to elect him? And does he
think Mr.. Roosevelt would be his
party's candidate under such eondi-
tions?

CANNON BOOM BUSTED.

The Cannon boom which was
launched in Greensboro about two
| weeks ago with seemingly such bright
prospects seems to have collapsed The
enthusiasm for North Cardinals IA
| vorite son was short-lived. 1t apparent
! ly died out as soon as the head was
put back on the barl
1t turns out that what was given
!! the name of Cannon boom was real
II nothing more than an effort or
J the part of Chairman Adams oppon-
ents to defeat him and take from
him the control OF federal patron
age.
AS soon as the manager Of the anti
Taft combination discovered this fact
he packed his grip, sent his bar'l to
the train and took his departure for
more promising fields.
When the opponents of Mr. Adams
found they could not use the speaker
Of the house as a catspaw to pull him
from the Craftsmanship the bottom
dropped out of the fictitious boom
Every republican county convention
which has yet been held in the state
has endorsed him for chairman and
we believe, have all declared for Mr.
Taft, and it is likely that a very large
majority of those yet to be held will
do the same, so there was nothing for
the insurgents to do but to give up
the fight on Mr.. Adams; therefore 1t
is expected that the Guilford county
convention, which meets today, will
endorse Mr.. Cannon, as matter of
FORM and Chairman Adams
In these circumstances 1t is hardly
possible that Mr.. Cannon will get a
single vote from North Carolina in
the national convention, and we hope
such will be the case We would hate
to see a man, whose feelings toward
his native state are such as Mr.. Can
mons conduct has shown his to be,
get support from that state in con-
test for the high Office Of president
of the country.

POLITICAL BOSSISM AND INDIE
PEEDENCE.

We wonder IL those sixty-six mem
hers of the democratic state conven-
ton of Minnesota who voted for en-
<h,rsement of Governor Johnson
against like action iE regard TO Colo
mel Bryan are going TO be read 'out
of the party for standing by their
states favorite son? Minnesota dem
ccracv wanted to compliment the
enly man in The state who could carry
If against a republican, and yet II
was vigorously opposed by small
Iryan minority which insisted tnat
Governor Johnson should be ignored,
and the state instructed to vote unani-
nously for MI. Bryan. That was an
unheard OF proceeding in the nature
O! an attempt at bulldozing of the ma
iority by the minority; but that Is
the style of the Bryan men. They
hold that any man who is not for
him is not true democrat. If the
BRYAN men try to rule out OF. the
party all democrats who do not hold
AIR. BRYAN as their first chance they
will have n dickens Of time elect
ing him president. 1t seems to be
every Bryanite's idea of politics to
drive out of the party all those vot-
ers who do not approve of him as
candidate instead of trying to cOncil-
late them. They apparently feel that
they form the whole party and that all
others, no matter how staunch party
men they have been in the past, are
no longer entitled to call themselves
democrats Well, if the Bryan sup
rorters wish to form the democratic
party into a close corporation cOmpos-
ed of none but sworn Bryan support
ers, with the doors closed to all 9TH
ers, who would like to be members
of the party, we'll and good; let them
do it; but the overwhelming defeat
of their party will be on their heads
and for such calamity they will have
rome to blame but themselves. This
is a day of independence of thought
i'm political matters and the party
which denies that to its members is
doomed to certain defeat. We can
leaders do not see this.

CHARGES AGAINST SENATOR
DAVIS.

1t is a pity the people who know
all those outrageous things Senator
Davis. of Arkansas, is now charged
with having done did not te,, about
them before the senatorial election.
Had they done so and been able to
establish the truth of the charges,
their state would not now be disgrac-
ed by being represented in the senate
by such a man. One of the prose
cutting attorneys of the state has pub
licly denounced him as being "the
most consumate liar and demagogue
who has ever disgraced the United
States senate But that, bad as it is.
Is no tthe worst of the charges against
him. The statement is made that he
received bribes from the railroads
ana also in pardon cases while gov

have been made so hot for the sena-

he can. The Charlotte Chronicle won

In opposition TO this movement is
that great membership OF the Epis-
copal church in the United States
which desires TO see the church re-
main intact, and also those who de-
sire a union OF that church with all
the other protestant churches and who
secured. as one OF the means OF that
end, the adoption by the last gen
eral convention of the church what
is known as the open pulpit canon"
which allows any Episcopal minister,
with the consent OF his bishop, to
invite the ministers of any other pro-
testant church 70 occupy his pull

But these are questions about which
our readers need not bother them
selves, for We do not suppose many
if any OF them will live to see the day
when the Protestant Episcopal church
and the Church OF England are jOined
TO the Roman Catholic or when all the
protestant churches in this country

CHINA AND JAPAN.

1t begins to look like there may be
in the early future. While the ma
tions of the western world may try
to interfere to prevent such war, it
is possible that their interference may
have no good effect in preventing hos
tilities. Their good Offices may
come in later or 20 bring about
Ieace, or they may interfere to pre-
vent Japan acquiring territory in the
Chinese empire.
The British foreign Office takes a
rather gloomy view of the situation.
II thinks that as China considers
war with Japan in the near future
inevitable it had as we'll begin now
as at any other time; in fact. that
cow is better time for China than
at some future day when the Japan
ese have recovered to a greater ex-
tent from the war with Russia.
If the Chinese government takes

to her ultimatum China will hardly

Japanese steamer.
If Japan is seeking for cause for
war and China is convinced that war
is going to be forced on her on one
pretext or another, we may look for
he conflict to begin a: some day in the
rot for distant future.
If such war should occur America
and some of the powers of Europe
will be much more interested in it
ttan they were in the former one
bteween those two countries. The oc-
cupation of the Philippines by the
United States and the conditions
brought about as to western trade with
China by the Russo-Japanese war have

GREED OF BRYANITEs.

While some people claim that any
thing and everything is fair I'm poll
tics, we did think that men high in
the management of party affairs rec
ognized certain comfy OF candidates
for office. The conduct OF the Bryan
men in Minnesota shows that they
do not recognize the latter principle.
Their strenuous efforts 10 prevent
the vote of their state being cast as
compliment TO her governor in the
national convention shows the over
Bearing greed OF the advocates Of
their candidate or else IL indicates
fear on their part TO have the name
OF Mr.. Johnson go before the con-
vention. Evidently the Bryanites are
determined that no name but that
of the Nebraskan shall be placed be-
fore the convention II they can pre-
vent it. Are they actuated by greed
or fear? We are glad they have been
fciled and that the Minnesota de-
mocracy will have the opportunity OF
placing the man of it's first choice in
nomination even though there is not
the remotest possibility OF his being
nominated. IL Is something new for
the party in state not to be allowed
TO east complimentary vote on first
ballot for one of its citizens; but this
Is what the Bryan men in Minnesota
tried TO do.
