problems that confronted the man, and
are not to be reckoned against him.
Whether or not he could have defeated
Senator Overman is another matter and
Senator's friends, though, must be re-
lieved.
His record, we repeat, has been good.
He has met the issues unf1inchingly and
his deeds will look good in the light Of
history. Governor Glenn may never
realize his ambition, but oblivion will not
mark him for it's own.
Greensboro Patriot.
A great many people have regarded
Governor Glenn as a very probable can
didate to succeed Senator Overman, and
we are pleased to know that he has put
aside the ambition. The step will cost
him no friends, whereas, had he entered
the race, many Of his personal friends
would have felt compelled to throw their
influence against him. 1t is we'll de-

the failure Of the paper which was a
good one and deserving OF q better

Give Us a Clean Campaign.

New Bern Sun
Some days ago the Sun referred to
so much of this mud-slinging and
wrangling between party candidates
which seems to be in line with the
sentiments expressed by several other
State papers. The following para
graph is taken from the Concord
Tribune which deprecates the mud
throwing campaign, and says:
"We do not believe that either one
OF these gentlemen are beingsupport-
ed by any man or set of men for rea-
sons that would argue against the
good of the State, or in such man.
ner as to discredit the candidate. 1t
is tiresOme to see the things thrown
at two of these candidates. If we
believed some things that are said of
Mr.. kitchin and Mr. Craig we would
not support either after the nomina
ton. Such is politics, however, and
we guess it would not be a genuine
brand without such methods"
The following article taken from
the Charlotte Chronicle after repro
ducing the Tribune's comment, con-
tains IA good deal of common sense
and should be carefully read by all
interested in the present campAign
Mr.. Horne is certainly conducting a
campaign to be commended for and
we believe, if elected governor, will
give the State equally as good and
clean an administration. The Chron-
icle says:
ashley Horne and his people are
conducting the model campaigns;
Craig has only hit out once in self
defense, but the cry of corporation
interests still continues, one man
having said in effect that bought men
will be in the Charlotte convention.
(And just here we renew our sugges-
ton that he be requested to point
them out in the convention), Mud

Cooper believes that the human

A Pertinent Question.
Richmond News Leader.

Richmond News Leader.
Ii prohibition is sensible and just
and appeals to the reason of intelli-
gent people, why is it necessary to
have every election on that subject
conducted with spectacular, sensa-
tional methods and appeals to the
emotions by the no-license advocate?
The American male citizen is sup
posed to vote according to the teach
ings OF his thought. The no-license
people, however, seem to make a point
OF preventing thought and drowning
it out. They go into campaigns
with clamor and excitement and en-
list women and children to parade
and to bring pressure to bear on the
sensibilities, the fears and the affec-
tions of the public. 1t is hard for us
to believe that any permanent good
results can come from this style of
political performance.

Newspaper Business.
New Berne sun.

New Berne sun.
Considered as manufacturing en-
terprise, newspaper making is enor-
mously hazardous and absurdiy un-
remunerative. With the very many
other manufacturing concerns all
over the country, the rule is that if
they don't make profits they are shut
down, but that is not 50 with news
papers, They always have moral
and political reasons for clinging to
life, long after there has ceased to be
any pecuniary warrant for it. A
newspaper in these days is about as
likely to clear q dividend as u church
is. Competition between papers is
intense and the price of nearly all of
them is too low, the cost ofpaper and
manufacture too high, and they give
a great deal too much for the meagre
one cent or two cents which seems to
be the standard prices now charged
for the daily issue of newspapers

as the enemy of ill-got wealth that called down
upon Bishop Potter's head the charge of insin-

held him in high regard were grieved at his sup
preston of the resolution. 1t was only an incident
in his life. Among his parishoners were some
who might have been offended by its passage.
Scholarly and polished, with a gift of language
and graceful delivery, Bishop Potter sought to do
good, and accomplished it. His environments in
his later years were such perhaps to lower the
tone of his spiritual life, as luxury, wealth and
ease usually do. He was only human with all the
frailties of humanity. 1t would be impossible that
he should escape criticism. He was nevertheless,
a great spiritual leader and the influence of his
life was mostly for good. The Protestant Episco-
pal church and the world has lost great and good
man in Bishop Potter's death.

and localities there being complete recovery, while
in others depression continues.
To those whose means were invested in highly

mournful strain to the effect that there has been
no revival and immediate prospect of one. For
this class of investors and promoters there will be
no revival for the bubble being once punctured it

On the other hand those who are engaged in
legitimate business conducted along sound prospects
have felt the revival of business and many lines
are doing more business than ever before. For in

100000 empty freight cars, because there was no

converted heart overlooking with the joys and con-
solutions that seem ever rendered to the weak and
beginners in the thOrny road of perfection Sec
ondly comes the long, dreary wilderness of trials
and desolation and troubles without end, in which
most people are travelling painfully Thirdly he
speaks of the mountains of perfection which so
few ever attain. Most people die in the. wilder
ness, and it is in this wilderness that the remem-
