Held at Mason City.
Special to Times Republican.

dred of the old settlers of Cerro Cor
do county gathered in this city yester-
day, for the occasion of the Thirty
third annual picnic and reunion of the
Old Settlers association of Cerro Cor
do county The picnic was held i'm the
park, and the dinner was served there
under the trees. In the afternoon the
band played, and the program ar
ranged was given. Mayor McConlogue
welcomed the old settlers in courtly
way, and Daniel Dougherty, of Dough-
erty, THE president of the association,
answered in like fashion. A noteworthy
feature of the day was the large at
tendance of those who now reside out
side of the counties, but who settled
here in an early day. The picnic was
one of the largest ever held. The
weather was perfect for THE occasion.

DRYs WILL DELAY
Prohibitioni.ts Decide Not to Urge
Re.ubmission Of Amendment at Ex-
ira Session.

Des Moines. Sept. 1.-The state
amendment federation will not intro
duce the resubmission Joint resolution
to this special session of the legisla-
ture. The federation fears that the
special session may not have the time
to give the debate and fight during the
legislature that this measure might
mean
In view of the fact that the regu-
lar election is at hand and the next
session of the legislature is to be in
January. the Rev. r. I. Chtpperfield
Of Sioux City, president of the fed
GRAFTON, does not believe in the adj
visibility of submitting this constitu-
tional amendment bill to this legisla-
ture. TheSsfederation would first get in
touch with the members of the legis-
lature on this bill after the election
this fall. J. A. Harvey of Perry. a
member of the committee, and the Rev.
VIC. Barber, secretary, are both in
ssto the proposed plan. Since
the announ cement of the intention to
present this bill the federation has
received a number Of protests from
temperance people from over the state.
THE time is not ripe for this bill and
will not be until the next Legislature, =
said the Rev w. C. Barber, secretary
of the federation. I'VE could not fore
tell what might happen at this time.
1t is probable that in the midst of the
debate and fight the legislature might
adjourn, and we would be worse OIL
than when we started. When we go IN
to this we want to have leader ana
one that could debate this amendment
without fear of interruption. The pres
ent legislature is not liable to take up
other measures than what is right be-

Japan's Yellow Peril.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer. Il
1t may be learned with surprise by
some that a people nationally so
tional pridein certain respects scarce
ly less sensitive than their racial
feeling. Yet such has always been
the case, and the nature of this senti-
ment at it's strOngest-it has grown
wonderfully during recent years-is
shown by the fact that not even re-
peated seizures of Chinese territory
by foreign powers have inspired such
profound resentment as Japans re-
cent action in the Tatsu Maru FL
clustering affair. A japanese mer-
chant vessel laden with arms for sale
to provincial insurgents was caught
red-handed at Canton and detained.
The bullying of poor old unarmed
China, resulting not only in the YES
sells release with humble apologies
but the payment of an indemnity, is
an incident of the last few weeks.
Now merchants and people through
out the empire relending themselves
to an anti-Japanese boycott agita-
ton far more formidable than ever
the anti-American agitation became.
1t is proposed to keep the boycott in
force until IA loss of $3.50, 100000
gold has been inflicted upon japanese
commerce. In Canton alone the boy
colt leaders have under their COM
mand seventy-two guilds, comprising
all classes of the population. Much
| enthusiasm characterizes the move
ment everywhere. The Chinese peo-
| pie are thus waging the only kind of
| effective war they can at present
| wage against an armed fOe-a war
of passive economic resistance.
Japan has unquestionably brought
down serious trouble upon herself
A strong Chinese boycott movement
such as could only annoy and inf1ict
very limited injury upon the United
States presents grave possibilities for
the island empire. Next to the United
States, China is Japan's largest GUS
toner, and the present japanese
state of extreme financial and indus
trial depression renders continued
| hold on the Chinese market appar-
emily Indispensable for averting
temporary breakdown as a power
among the nations. What Japan
loses the United States and other ex-
porting countries stand to gain. The
situation may we'll affect our now de-
pressed cotton industry benefcially.
But unless the islanders apologize in
their turn and adopt conciliatory
tone toward the Chinese people in
stead of seeking to quell the boycott,
as at present, by more intimidation
of the Chinese government, things will
60 hard with them. The bullying
seemed cheap enough at first, but it
is rapidly turning out to be very ex'
pensive indeed.

The People Will Remember.
Wilmington Messenger.


The Durham Herald remarks that:
Senator Overman's prohibition rec
ord antedates most OF the others by,
many years. He was fighting for
temperance when to fight meant
something Greedy ones may try to
claim credit for pioneer work he did,
but the people will remember" But
will they? This is essentially the
day of the demagogue, and, as
we have hitherto pointed out, the
race is to the man who makes the
most noise-IndustriaI News.
The Industrial News may be right in
it's statement that it is Essentially
the day Of the demagogue, but it
must remember that the demagogues
even of this day are few in proper
ton to the people of hard horse sense:
The demagogues may fool the people
for while but are soon found out.
We will bet every time on the good
sense of the people winning out in
the end in contest with the chi
canery of the demagogues and trick
ster politicians. We believe, with the
Durham Herald, tht in this senator
ship matter ."the people will remem-
Der" and that they will not so soon
forget the splendid work Senator
Overman has done for them and the
reputation as a leading statesman
that he has established throughout
the nation in the short while he has
represented this state in the senate
We cannot bring ourself to believe
that the people of North Carolina
| will be SO blind to their own inter-
ests and SO forgetful of the reputa-
ton which Mr.. Overman has won in
| the senate as to retire him at the
| end Of his first tom in order to make
| room for sanySother member of the
| party just because the latter's ambi-
ton was to occupy a seat in the SEN
ate. We have too much confidence in
the good Judgment and the common
sense of the rank and file of Demo-
cratic party to believe that it's men,
bers will permit any such thing to be.
At the same time the friends of Sen
ator Overman should see to it that
in the nomination of candidates for
the legislature no tricks are played on
the people. They must not let snap
Judgment be taken on them
in the county conventions They
must be prepared to block any game
started for the purpose OF securing
his defeat. No doubt there will be an
effort made to do so, but it can be
easily defeated if the people are on
their guard.

Resoect for Law a Great Need.
Nunda IN. " Truth, May 1st.

Nunud W. j Iiobh: 'i"s 'D''
Hon. Joseph W. Folk says that re-
spect for law is the foundation stone
OF the liberties of free people; and
that respect for the law is the great
est need Of to-day.
There undoubtedly is in the coun-
try today, q rapidly growing disre-
spect for the law and for our courts
as well. A prisoner, recently convict
ed of murder, facing the Judge, said:
"Had | the moneyo OF Harry K. Thaw,
| could hire lawyer and buy testi-
mony that would acquit me-" This
would not signify SO much were it
not for the fact that similar express
sions are frequently made and heard.
An English writer, quoted in the
Literary Digest, speaks OF the ''com-
plete breakdown of the criminal law
in the United States" attributing it
largely to "the worship of procedure
and the multiplication and consider
alton of technicalities by judges, al
lowing them to defeat the spirit and
intent of the law"
He further says: ''The superior
courts in America do not ask when
an appeal is taken to them, is the
Judgment just? but is there an error
of whatever kind, however technical,
however insignificant, in the trial
court?' Hence Justice and common
sense are alike forgotten in the chase
after impossible perfection in forms
and rules; and the criminal law OF
America is a refuge and a comfort to
the criminal lawyer and the criminal
and menace and n vexatiOn to the
rest of the community"
Our lawmakers, lawyers and courts
as well, are doing as much or more to
bring about a state of anarchy in
this country than are the "Anarch-
lists"

The Pace That Kills.
W Washington Herald.

Washington Herald
The New Haven Registrar seriously
attributes the late dangerous illness
of Governor Guild ''to the fatal Amer
lean banquet habit" The Register
bases its conclusions upon facts and
figures, and supports them with the
opinions ofthe governor physicians
1t finds that the Massachusetts man
has literally overfed himself to the
very brink of the grave.
The governor appears to have been
a fine specimen of manhood up to the
time he began his incessant round of
entertainments; as hardy and as we'll
provided in the matter of digestive
apparatus as the best Of them. But
by and by the inevitable sumptuous
dinner, with its rich viands and high
ly-seasoned dishes, commenced to tell
on him; he found wholesome sleep
becoming a stranger to his pillow,
languor and lassitude seized upon
him, where heretofore he had been all
activity and life. The banquets never
let up, however; he was in demand
somewhere practically every night
In the end nature baked, and the
governor came very near to deaths
door.
We do carry the banquet idea to
absurd ends in this country; there
can hardly be any doubt OF it. The
occasional banquet, having a fixed
and definite purpose, especially when
given to emphasize some particular
event or honor some great man or
men, is most delightful invention,
If We may so call it. Not one word is
to be said by way of adverse criti
cism, so far as such function is con-
cerned. That, however, is the excep,
ton and not the rule, as it should be
Governor Guild was, no doubt, in
vited to one such affair where he was
invited to two dozen of the other
kind; and by ''the other kind we
mean the banquet that has no good
excuse whatever for happening.

"No power on earth can make me
tell,'' again responded Davis. ''You
are doing your duty as "a soldier and

do so feeling that am doing my
duty to God and my country"
Those were brave words, and de-
serve perpetuation.
Davis was tried by court-martial.
which was called on November %,
and sentenced to be hanged on the
9th. He was surprised that he was
mot to be shot, but accepted the more
ignominous death without fear
That night in his cell, "a mere youth
facing certain deat til, what must have
been his thoughts? As is often the
case when trouble comes, his thought
reverted to his mother, and his las,
letter was to her. In the postscript are
these words, full of yrarning, pathetic
in the extreme:
"MOther and father, do not forget
me. Think of me when l am dead,
but do not grieve for me. 1t will not
do any good. Father, you can send
after my remains, if you want to do
SO. They will be at Pulaski, Tenn.

A Story Not Enjoyed.
Charlotte Observe +,

Charlotte Observer.
The Knoxville, Tenn, Sentinel says
that "When Henry Cabot Lodge, the
versatile speaker of the United States
Senate, spoke last Friday on the Aid
rich currency bill he quoted from a
statesman around whose name cling
many pleasant memories" The
Massachusetts, man is quoted as say
ing:
Mr.. President, | did not intend to
be drawn into this debate. L have
thought many times during its pro-
oress of a story which was told by
the late Senator Vance, whom many
of US remember, when a good many
years ago there was one OF our great
financial discussions beginning about
either precnbacks or silver. Senator
Vance went down to North Carolina,
and at alarge political meeting where
he was announced to make financial
speech, he said:
Il have come before you to discuss
this great financial question. / do
not pretend to be a financial expert.
The only financial principle which |
am entirely familiar with is that it
takes two names to float mynOte.'
~ have often felt that that was a
very frank and honest confession OF
the amount OF financial knowledge
which II great many of us profess to
have
This is one of the many stories
which have been fabricated and
charged to the account of Senator
Vance and one which the writer hap
pens to know that he did not enjoy
at all He was on the finance COM
mittee of the Senate and one OF its
best informed members. To this
quotation from the Sentinel, follow
ing that from Senator Lodge, all
North Carolinians will subscribe:
Ieb Vance as he was fondly known,
has been i'll the grave fourteen years.
He belonged to Il period when South
ern men made history and glOrified
their sections. In his name and fame
he is associated with Matt Ransom,
Wade Hampton, John B. Gordon,
John T. Morgan, l.. z. {. Lamar,
Isham g. Harris, James B. Beck,
NiCOl W. cols ~ uSOuo IL bll
and others whose virtues and talents
shOne UNANIMOUSLY in the Senate.
Thirty years ago, when issuing from
under the cloud OF reconstruction, it
was the habit of the South to select
her foremost men for distinguished
public service. At intervals, it may
be we'll to point to the type as one
safe and wise to follow.
Senator Vance first came into
prominence as the war Governor OF
North Carolina. He was elected in
1862 and reelected in 1861. BY
the energetic measures he took and
the sagacity he displayed, his State
came to be known as that which fur
nished the best clothed and equipped
soldiers in the Confederate army. At
ter his party gained control of the
State, he was honored by seat in
the L. s. Senate after having been
elected Governor for the third time,
in 1876. Before the people of the
Tar Heel State no public man could
compare with him in popularity and
influence. BY his eloquence and pa.
thos, wit and humor, he swayed aud
fences at will While he could argue
a question with force and clearness
he often made Joke or story the We
hicle for fixing it in the popular mind
Political opponents recognized his
power and were made to feel the in
cisiveness of his thrusts."
