AN IDEAL NOMINATION.
Judge w. R. Allen Suggested for Va.
cant United States Judgeship.

Editor Argus:
A number of people in the South,
Democrats as well as Republicans,
think President-elect w. H. Taft will
not be governed entirely by party adil-
iations in making his nominations,
but will consult and give weight to
the opinions of those most affected by
the nomination If the opinion is well
founded it will now soon be seen. it
would seem that in the selection OF
judges he would show this indepen-
dence, if anywhere. We have IN our
town the man who could worthily fiji
the place made vacant by the death
of Judge Purne11. A man who would
be endorsed by those who know best
what qualities and attainments are
necessary for the highest type o1
Judge, viz, the lawyers of the State
A man of unusual c1earness Of mfnt
and expression and whose training
and character pre-eminently qualif!
him for the important position. HI
has already demonstrated his entir'
fitness. Ought we not to bring to tn
attention of Mr.. Taft, before he shall
make the nomination of judge TO
lEastern North Carolina, the name, en-
ldorsement, experience, scholarship
land character of Judge William II

GIVE DEVIL HIS DUE, SAYS CLARK
But Explains That Cannon and Old
Nick Are Not Similar.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-In a
speech in the House yesterday in
Weighing against increases made by
the Senate in appropriations for va
rious branches of the government, Mi
nority Leader Clark recalled the time
when Speaker Cannon, as chairman
of the Appropriations Committee, had
fought hard against such increases.
Sometimes he won," he said,
sometimes he lost, but he always
fought" When he added, ST believe
in giving the devil his DUE" the
House was thrown into tumult of
laughter. Mr.. Clark explained, how
ever, that "there is no similarity be-
tween these two gentlemen" He Wig
orously asserted that this was bad
time to increase salaries, and a halt
should be called.

COOPER-CARMACK.
The Elder Murderer on the Witness
Stand.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 24.-After a
day replete with exciting incidents
the session of the Cooper-Sharp trial
for the murder of former Senator
Carmack closed with the aged de-
fendant, Col. Duncan B. Cooper, still
upon the stand.
The direct examination of Colonel
Cooper, which began early yesterday
morning, lasted until nearly noon to-
day. Almost the first thing the State
did on cross-examination was to all
nounce that it would try to prove that
extent. of over 100000 while master
of chancery in Maurys county This
precipitated a bitter tilt by counsel
during which harsh words were used
and much anger displayed, despite the
efforts Of Judge Hart to hold the reins
tightly.
l. The State won partial victory and
strafghtway sprung another surprise
1t brought forth some old legislative
records concerning an investigation
into an alleged defalcatfon of State
Treasurer M. H. Polk, in the early
SOS. They, offered to prove that thou
sands of dollars of the States money
was invested by Polk with Col. Dun
can B. Cooper and others in a Mexi-
can silver mine scheme walnut log
scheme in North Carolina, and a
scheme to buy the Nashville Ameri-
can.
Colonel Cooper admitted that there
were irregularities in his office of
clerk and mastery in chancery, but
said they we're due to bad manage
ment and oor bookkeeping, and that
every dollar was made good. He ad-
mitted that Polk was his partner in
the ventures named, but declared that
he Cooper never handled a dollar
of the money and had no knowledge
that it was taken from the States
strong box.

THE HOUSE REBELS
Representatives In Congress
Reject Senate's Salary
Increases.
Declared by nr. Clark That The
President Receives not $780,
{ 900 But $4,000 a Year.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 24.-With
resentatives today, by sweeping ma
jorities many times defied the Sen
ate by rejecting its amendments to
the legislative appropriation bill pro-
viding for salary increases for the
President, the Vice-President, the
Speaker, the Judiciary and for the Gre
alton Of the Offices of under secre-
tary of state. Party lines were ob1it-
Grated completely.
1t was a regular field day in the
lower branch where oratory and con-
fusion Wed with each other for hon
ors. Not during the present Congress
has the Speaker been compelled to
WELD his gavel with such force to
bring about order as today. Of par
liamentary tangles there were many,
but the veteran presiding officer
emerged from all with. his decision
undlsputed. The battle waged for
more than six hours, at the end of
which the bill was sent to conference.
So much time was consumed in con-
sideration of the conference report
on that measure that a night session
was made imperative in order that
further discussion of the sundry civil
appropriation bill, which had drag
ged along for several days might be
had
Although the members were primed
for discussion of the secret service,
the subject was allowed to go over
until tomorrow. The bill was less
than one-third completed when the
House at sos p. M, recessed until
10 m. tomorrow.
In the course of a lively debate,
Messrs. Underwood, of Alabama, and
Clark, of Missouri, criticised the Sen
ate in reference to salaries.
Mr.. Clark in particular was en-
phatic in his objections to what he
said were 'the continual impositions
of the Senate in the matter of appro-
priation bills"
Messrs. Bingham, of Pennsylvania !;
Gillett, of Massachusetts,, and Livings-
ton, of Georgia, the House conferees.
strenuously defended their report
which in so far as there was no disa-
greement, was adopted.
When the discussion turned on the
increase in the salaries of the Pres
ident, Vice-President, Speaker of the
House of Representatives and Judges
about which conferees could not
agree, Mr.. Clark declared there was
much misinformation about the
amount the President receives, and
said that instead of its being $4,000
it actually is $291,0O per annum.
| BY a vote of 81 to 1O2 the House
refused to accept the Senate amend.
ment increasing the salary of the
Speaker.
The increase proposed in the Presi
dents salary from $4,000 to $100,00'
year was rejected, the vote bein,
yeas 141, noes 1853.
Before the announcement was made
Speaker Cannon directed that hi
name be recorded in the affirmative.

Years ago a famous criminal law

prisoner charged with murder
Drawn by the fame Of the orator,
half the countryside heard the speech
of the great pleader, a speech that was
long remembered in those parts.
Among those who sought to con-
graduate the great lawyer was a shy,
ungainly youth to whom the former
scarce gave glance.
If that Breckenridge had known the
future
The awkward youth was Abraham
Lincoln.
Although the orator knew it not, his
speech had determined the future of
the boy. It was at that time Lincoln
formed his intention to become a law

It was a long road on which be
started.
He lacked almost verything-even
education. But he had what was more
than all elsa irm, fixed, unalterable
purpose that would not let go. He
Rugged that purpose to his heart and
went on by a way he knew not, but
whose end he knew.
So should every young man hide q
great hope IN his heart.
Cherishing that hope, its roots viii
strike deep into the very depths OF
his being. Sometimes, 1t may be, i
