Extract from an Address by Col. W. j.
Bryan.
The profession for which was
trained-the law-presents another
line of temptations. The court room
is a souls market where many barter
away their ideals in the hope OF win
ming wealth and fame. Lawyers
sometimes boast of the number OF
men whose acquittal they have Sc
cured when they knew them to be
guilty, and of advantages won which
they knew their clients did not de-
serve. do not understand how a
lawyer can so boast for he is an Off
Ger OF the court and, as such, is
sworn to assist in the administration
of iustice.
When lawyer has helped his
client to obtain all that his client IS
entitled to, he has done his full duty
as a lawyer, and If he goes beyond
this he goes at his own peril. Show
me lawyer who has spent lifetime
trying to obscure the line between
right and wrong, trying to prove
that to be just which he knew to be
unjust, and l will show you a man
who has grown weaker in character
year by year, and whose advice, at
last, will be of no value to his clients,
for he will have lost the power to
discern between right and wrong.
Show me, on the other hand, a law
yer who has spent a lifetime in the
search of truth, determined to follow
where it leads, and l will show you a
man who has grown stronger in char
acter day by day and whose advice
constantly becomes more valuable
to his client, because the power to
discern the truth increases with the
honest search for it.
Not only in the court room, but in
the consultation chamber the lawyer
sometimes yields to the temptation
to turn his talents to q sOrdld use.
The schemes of spoilation that DEFY
: the officers of the law are, for the
most part, inaugurated and directed
by legal minds.

President Eliot, of Harvard uni
versity, a man in whom the ripe ex
perience of the decades meets the pen
etrating power of tremendous native
ability, is O firm believer in the doe
trine OF racial integrity.
In an interview given out recently
at New Orleans he advised against
the intermarrige of such strains as
Irish with Americans, of English de-
scent: Germans with Italians, and
Jews with French. His contention
is that history proves the unwisdom
of such racial admixtures, more es-
pecially where the two strains may
be said to develop traits that are
antithetical.
On this theory, we believe there is
something to be said in the negative,
since obviously each of these races
carries characteristics needful to off
set or to supplement characteristics
in the other.
Passing by this phase, however, we
agree unqualifiedly with his incisive
reasoning regarding the negro and
the wllCe man.
He intimates that the two peoples
are as antagonistic as oil and water,
when it comes to actual amalgama-
ton. The assertion is unqualifiedly
borne out and is written irrevocablv
in Southern laws.
DR.. Eliot commends the course OF
Booker Washington, insofar as he is
preaching racial separation and in
tegrity.
Both DIR. Eliot and Booker Wash
ington have sensed the. true signifi-
canoe of the matter, and that is, that
the salvation of the negro lies in his
giving over absurd aud impossible
dreaming regarding questions of alb
stract sociology and applying him.

Something New at White House.
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
1t is said in Washington that Taft
has talked very freely with Senators
Simmons and Overman about the
Eastern District judgeship, asking
them for suggestions as to fit per-
sons for the place. 1t is also said
that the President has asked if ex-
Governor Aycock could be considered
as a receptive candidate for the place
and was told that he could not be so
considered If these reports be true
there are new conditions existing at
the White House in regard to the at
titude of the administration toward
the South. 1t is unusual for Re-
publican President to be consulting
Democratic Senators about appoint
ments, asking them to suggest names
of men in their opinion qualified for
certain offices and asking whether
died-in- the-wool Democrats could be
considered receptive candidates for
Office. 1t would be remarkable were
Taft to appoint Democrat to the
Judgeship, but it must be remem-
bered that Taft is remarkable man
and we believe he will pay more at
tention to IA mans qualifications
and less to his politics in making his
selections for judicial appointments
than any President we have had in a
long time.
One man has more opportunity for
being a hero in novel than a hun
dred have in real life.

The Passing of the Man.
A Symbolical Tribute to the
Ex-President - Thomas w.
Lawson Likens the Roose-
welt Era to That of "Alexan-
der, Caesar and NAPOLEON"

The April EVerybody's sums up
ROOsevelt's career as citizen and
President in four pages OF attractively
arranged material. Part of this is a
vigorous, symbolical tribute to the
ex-President, emanating from the
pen OF Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos-
ton. 1t reads az follows:
THE bell tolled that the day was
dead, and it's twelve strokes bore I'M
quiveringly out to the god of history
the message-'When today died an
epoch ended. Inter it in the crypt
with Alexander's, with Caesars, with
NapOleon's.' Then the bell ceased.
THE round moon shrouded itself
in mantle of black, and the god of
sound commanded silence.
For f1eeting moment all nature
was still. Then the football of A Man,
a God-made man, distinct, measured,
dominant, broke the muted quiet of
the night. With the first football on
the marble stair came, faint. distinct,
unearthly, another Sound, as if that
echoiDg football of The Man bugled
to some far-off legion of Evil the
signal to advance. As each football
OF The Man rang out, the creeping
Sound hushed until all space was
filled with its smothering density.
between the footballs the Sound
swelled and grew in volume until it
split itself into a myriad of sounds
the suppressed painting of packs OF
starved wolves, the tearing upon the
earth of the claws of bands of ema-
ciated jackals, the rending of the air
with the squeaking Of swarms OF ro-
dents, the slithering of the Shiny
bellies OF countless snakes, the beat
ing OF the wings of many cormorants.
THE Man heard no Sound. ONLY
the harp strings of his ambition. and
the gentle voice of his God: Thou
hast not been infallible, for thou art
Il son of man, but thou hast been
true to thy manhood, just to thy
people, honest to thy God, and thou
hast known no fear
las the footballs of The Man re
coded and grew fainter. red and vel
low orbs in numbers glared through
the black of space behind him, and
there doomed indistinct shapes, ar
army of greedy vampires.
| The Man saw only the dazzling
lights OF vast world which lay al
his feet and the stars heaming from
Gods great blue, for he looked III
and ahead. The last football died
and tense, ominous silence announced
that The Man had indeed gone forth
Then, all space was rent with a vol
ume OF sound as though He'll itsel
had burst asunder.
The legions of Evil were at each
others threats with seven long year
OF pent-up fury, but above the will
din thundered a nations voice: .Th
Man has passed, but the world i
better for his work The good h,
has done shall not spass: it will b.

Let's us talk the kind of talk both of
us understand.
You don't care how much whiskey we
distill, or how many factory buildings
we have, or anything of this sort, be-
cause you know that is Our business.
You want to know how good our
WHISTLES are.
You want to know how long they
have been on the market.
You want to know something about
the people selling them.
You can only know these by two
things:
-Ist-By the reputation our
whistles have made.
-2d-By you, yourself trying
them.
We will rest Our case on these rea-
sons, leaving the decision to you.

Two Things That Are Coming.
Charlotte Chronicle

Charlotte Chronicle.
There are two things in the eco
Monies of the United States, which
are bound to come These are: A
system of the Appalachian and White
Mountain forest reserve, and Ameri-
can shipping upon the deep seas.
Those who are standing in the way
OF either, or both OF these things, are
simply losing credit and injnring
themselves. These are both neces-
sary to the future welfare of the
country. We will not only have an
Appalachian and White Mountain
forest reserve, but we will have
forestry system for the whole United
States. In the matter of the mer-
chant marine, the people of the
United States will ultimately come to
its support as they came to the sup
port of the naval plan proposed by
Cleveland and Whitney and which
has been advancing ever since. The
| navy has but one purpOse-the ma
tional defense. The merchant marine
has a double purpose-the national
defense and the development of mar
| kets for American manufactured
products.
The people of this country are not
going to lay supinely idle with the
products of her factories quitting the
home market, and while England,
| Germany and France by their subsi-
died ships get all the benefits of the
foreign markets out of which our
manufacturers and farmers are shut
because we have no merchant marine
to transport our goods.
| We are living in new times and un-
der new conditions. When this was a
country of cotton production and
slave labor, it was all right to depend
upon England's ships. England was
more than willing to have her subsi-
died ships come here and take our
raw material to England to be manu-
featured and then distributed the
world over but now we have the man.

Lawyers on Cooper Case.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
1t is estimated by a prominent
criminal lawyer of the local bar that
nine out OF every ten attorneys in
Charlotte are Of the opinion that the
Coopers of Tennessee are guilty of
murder in the first degree. Sentiment
Is divided, however, among the laity
OF the city who have become inter-
ested in the case and have followed
the evidence as closely as it was car
ried by the daily press. 1t is safe to
say that no criminal case in the South
in recent years has attracted such
widespread interest or been followed
with more personal concern than the
one which was ended SATURDAY.. tenn
porarily at least, when the Jury in
the case of the State of Tennessee
against theCoopers found them guilty
OF the murder of ex-senator Carmack
in the second degree.
The local lawyers are disposed to
pick flaws in the verdict rendered.
Many OF them are thinking that the
Coopers are either guilty of first de-
gree murder or nothing more than
iustifiable homicide This they gath
er from the evidence which has been
furnished them through the local
papers and none of them claim to be
able to form an adequate or positive
opinion about the matter. In COM
mon with other parts Of the South,
they were surprised in view of the an
nouncement from the Jury on the
previous day that it was a hopeless
task to arrive at a verdict as to the
two alleged slayers of the brilliant
Carmack
"Everybodv was expecting u mis-
trial. said one attorney yesterday,
''ln view of the intimation from the
jury. For this reason the verdict an
nounced was rather hard to cOmpre-
bend. The lawyers with whom 1
have discussed the ease were disposed
to think that the Coopers were guilty
OF first degree murder. 1t was either
a case of reconciliation on their part,
or it was nothing more than a street
duel for which Carmack was equally
responsible The nature of the evil
dence, however. leads the lawyers to
the opinion that the Coopers put their
pistols in their pockets ard deliber-
ately went along the street to find
their victim. OF course the local law
yers are unable To get look at the
evidence in toto, but from that which
has been given by the papers their
verdict is practically unanimous"

the express is prepaid, you can bet your

The most noted millionaires of the
country could organize whiskey bust
