The Lure of the Arctics.

Expedition, in the Notional Magazine

Captain Edwin Coffin of the Ziegler Polar
Expedition, in the Notional Magazine
for October.
Polar life brings strange reyela-
tions; a man who is model of alma
bility OF home is a savage in these
high ATTITUDES, where Mother Nature
and humanity seem bent on their
crudest characteristics. When man
goes to the Arctics first he dislikes
it; if he is caught there one winter he
VOWS to himself that he will never
repeat the adventure. Yet when he
gets back home he discovers that the
white silence" has a compelling fas-
cination. | have never known a man
who could resist the chance to go
again, even at a financial loss. After
twenty years experience, if another
opportunity came to me, it is doubt
ful whether any consideration would
prevent me from taking up the work
again.
Once the charm of those long
months of daylight, the mysterious,
deathly silence of those long nights,
the white glare of that brilliant
moonlight across trackless wastes OF
snow and ice, has been felt, a man is
unable to resist the siren call of the
North, that has become more to him
than family, home, friends or money.
Gladly he takes his life in his hands
and fares forth again into those fro

No Vote for the Negro.

Charlotte Chronicle.
The Chronicle few days ago spec
ulated as to what effect Colonel
Roosevelt's life in Africa would have
on his opinion as to the negro prob
lem, so-called. Reports now come of
a speech which he made at Nairobi,
East Africa, in which he dwelt upon
the subject of white government. He
declared that Africa ''is the real white
mans country" and after advising
the white man to take advantage Of
his opportunities, but to treat the
black man with justice, he said: "The
tribes hereabOuts are hopelessl y in
competent to better themselves or to
utilize this country to advantage
without white leadership and direc-
ton" The Baltimore Sun says:
"This is the common sense of the sit
uatiOn, expressed by the former lead
er OF the Republican party of the
United States. Just as the common
wealth of South Africa with the ap-
prOval OF the British Parliament, has
disfranchised the negro in his own
country, SO ex-President Roosevelt
appears to suggest, the government
OF East Africa should exclude the
East Africans from voting. Wher-
ever the white race settles, there, in
effect, the government should be
white. 1t thrust upon them voting
rights for the colored races, but it
should not thrust upon them voting
rights for which they are untitled. "
Thus it is advised that the negro
should not be given the right to vote
even in Africa, his native country,
and by no less a person than former
President Roosevelt The tendency
seems to be no vote for the negro,
anywhere.

Be Sociable Anyway.

There never was a road yet that
didn't run in two directions, and un-
less you stand still you've got to travel
one way or the other. There's a con-
siderable crowd goin' both ways on
this highway Of life, and that bein'
the case it's just as easy and a whole
lot pleasanter to have company.
Whether a mans goin' to heaven or
goin' to the devil it's better to be So
ciable. 1 never did have any use for
the fellow who docks by himself to
practice either his virtues or his vices.
Now, l take it for granted that you
want to go in the right direction. and,
If SO, you'll find the only real crowd
that's goin' your way is in the church.
They're in the church primarily,
guess, because of it's promises, but
apart from that they're in it because
Jordan, as the old song says, is a
hard road to travel. and they need
the help Of the church to get them
over the stony places. That's just
why you need it and just why you
can't afford to 60 along without it.

Taking Note of the Yelper.
"Troian," in Durham Herald.

Trojan" in Durham Herald.
The Greensboro News says: "If this
paper had time to devote to every
ydp and howl we might do it-for
amusement's sake. But the truth is
we have not the time" But we do
not agree with the News that it is
amusing paying attention to yelps
and howls. Many people you know
are fond of fox hunting and think
the bowling OF the hounds is the most
beautiful music in the world. Some
fellow early one morning was trying
to get an old man, who had his hand
to his ear, to hear the music in the
air, but the old gentleman said he
couldn't hear anything for the dogs.
1t was not music to him. That was
Just his notion. The most amusing
thing in this world is being busy, and
as that is what the News claims to be
doing, it should not be without sub
stantial amusement. OF course no.
body can be happy and amused who
is always fighting and growing and
trying to tear down instead of build
ing up. The News also speaks OF
Buck Duke as charged with running
the price OF tobacco down and the
price of cotton up. Well, it is nice
that he is doing some good according
to the folks who think him such a ter
ror. This writer does not know Mr..
Duke, never met him, but as he looks
about and notes things it appears
like lots OF his money has gone into
stuff that has put money in the
pocket OF the laboring man. And if
he should spend millions III building
who gets the cash? More people are
really benefited by the expenditures
OF the rich man everywhere than are
injured by their accumulation. This
is the way 1t looks to this penny liner.

The Fiddle in the Choir.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
North Carolina can boast OF one
editor who has the right sort of
music in his soul. His name Is Archi-
bald Johnson and he presides over
Charity and Children. He is an ad-
mirer "a devotee of the fiddle,
known in polite society as the violin,
and he wants more OF the fiddle in
the choir. He agrees with David
that the Lord should be praised on
stringed instruments, and il he had
his way and could secure them, he
would have dozen fiddles in the
choir OF the church at which he wor-
ships. "Singers," he says, "know the
value OF the violin skillfully played
and the wonderful help it renders.
We rejoice to see the king OF instru-
ments coming into it's own. For
many years it has been in the hands
OF the devil because of the prejudice
of good people against it's use. Why
is it not just as consistent to tear
out the floors of our houses and
adopt sawdust because bathrooms
must have floors? Our colleges for
women are magnifying the violin in
the music course, and our girls are
learning to master this delightful
instrument. 1t seems a pity that a
bright girl who has prepared herself
to play a violin is sometimes rudely
denied the pleasure she could and
would give the congregation by some
brother who has no more music in
his soul than a mule has," That is
coming it pretty strong, but our
good brother Is moved to qualify it
by the reluctant admission that III
the fiddle makes some good brother
to offend no fiddle should be played"
for harmony is necessary outside
as we'll as within the choir" Here
is noble soul willing to surrender
it's appreciation of the fiddle rather
than give some old rooster cause to
rebel against this appearance Of
worldliness in the church. Anyhow,
he has thrown out hint to other
champions OF the fiddle. He has
sowed the seed, as it were, even if he
does glance askant at the coming OF
the crop. He has tuned up the fiddle
and passed it along to those who
can play 1.-THE sly sinner.

A TUNNEL INTO NORFOLK.
Railroad Systems VIII Probably
Build One Under Elizabeth River.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. st developed
today that petition will be present
ed at the November meeting OF the
Norfolk City Council for necessary
permits to bring into Norfolk pro-
posed tunnel under the Elizabeth
River form Pinner's Point, the pres
ent terminus OF all railway systems
entering this point on the opposite
side of the river.
The plan is to have the Seaboard
Air Line, Southern Railway, Atlantic
Coast Line and belt line railways en-
ter Norfolk direct by means OF this
tunnel and connect with the present
tracks OF the Norfolk & Southern
railway leading to Cape Henry, where
a great breakwater will be built and
piers constructed for foreign trade,
thus eliminating time lost by steam
ers in coming from the Virginia capes
into Norfolk and going on the Balti-
more. The New York, Philadelphia
& Norfolk railway owned by the
Pennsylvania railroad would connect
at Cape Henry by short line ferry
from Cape Charles, Va.
The plan carries with it also the
erection OF O 81 100000 union depot
In the heart of Norfolk's growing
business district.

Has the law now on the statute books
of North Carolina prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF intoxicants proved a
success? 1t has not, and we base our
opinion upon the following facts which
are incontrovertible and cannot be de-
MED by the most ultra prohibitionist.
There is not county in the State free
from the manufacture and sale of liquors,
nor is there in all North Carolina an ex-
press Office, but delivers daily, intoxica-
ting beverages to its patrons, and not q
day passes but the State is run to
the expense of prosecuting violators
of the law engaged in the liquor traffic,
while it receives no revenue. Millions OF
dollars are leaving our State with which
to purchsse liquors, its treasury is being
depleted, while that of Virginia is over
flowing with money from the pockets Of
our people. Has the prohibition law
decreased the consumption of liquors?
Has it exterminated blind tigers and
illicit distillers? Has it obliterated drunk
enness? We answer no.
The free people of North Carolina are
becoming restless, discontented and in
dignant at the treatment they have re-
ceived from the hands of demagogues
who, posing as moralists, forced upon
the people the onerous, law, which is q
fraud and farce The Legislature was
induced to set the election at q season OF
the year when the farmers thought it
more important to cultivate their crops
than to go to the polls, consequently there
was a half vote cast, and cost the State
$4,000. Had the election been in No
vember, prohibition would have been
defeated by an overwhelming majority.
So we find there was more politics in
this scheme than morals or religion. It
is evident to all, the so-called prohibition
law is failure and has not accomplish
ed it's object, but has created demorali-
zation and produced q harvest of distill-
ers OF liquors and blind tigers, who defy
law and pay no taxes, thereby defraud-
ing the government out OF it's just reve-
were on the alert.
A reaction ia soon to follow, and, un-
less there is a plank inserted in the DEM
ocratic platform, giving the people the
right OF local option, the Republicans
overwhelming majority, and elect a
United States Senator. Why? Because
thousands of Democrats will vote with
any party which favors the repeal OF the
prohibition law and gives the people the
right as free men to decide by the ma
joIity of votes whether liquors shall be
sold or prohibited in their respective
counties.
The writer has ever lived sober life,
he favors temperance, is opposed to open
bar-rooms, favors the dispensary as the
best mode to dispense liquors, which is
controlled by the strong arm OF the law,
and from which revenue is derived. He
detests hypocrisy which has been used
by demagogues to promote their per-
sonal interests under the cover OF morals
and religion.

Taft and Diaz Meet.
Continued from first page. J


green and gold, several regiments OF
infantry and a regiment OF the Ia
nous Zapadores Militia bands were
everywhere and the strains OF 1.-The
Star-Spangled Banner" and the Mex
lean national airs were borne upon
the wind almost continuously. In
the parade this afternoon were the
bands OF the Ninth Infantry, the
Third Cavalry and the Nineteenth
Infantry and several others. The
famous police band OF the City OF
Mexico headed the parade in Juarez.
The second meeting occurred about
two hours later, President Taft being
escorted across the International
bridge into Juarez, where with iden-
tically the same ceremony as in FL
Paso he was received and welcomed
into Mexico by President Diaz. A
distinguished body of Mexican civil
and military officials assisted in well
coming the Taft party. Among them
we're NJ. Mariscal, minister Of foreign
affairs; Jose Limantour, secretary OF
the treasury; Gen. Manuel Gonzales
Cosio, secretary OF war; Gen. Luis
Torres, Governor OF Sonora, and En-
rique Creel, Governor OF Chihauhau
and former Mexican ambassador to
the United States.
This evening President Taft and his
escort together with large party OF
distinguished Mexicans were enter
tanned at a state banquet which in
all it's surroundings and lavish deco
rations and wealth OF silver plate
handed down from the time OF EN-
peror Macmillan probably was the
most notable feast ever served on
the American continent.
President Taft and President Diaz
sat side by side at the banquet table.
The speeches OF Presidents Taft and
Diaz at the dinner were given as
toasts from one to the other. Presi-
dent Diaz was first to rise.
The Mexican Executive concluded
by proposing toast:
II toast for the hope," said he,
''that the country OF immortal Wash
ington may always enjoy all the hap
piness and prosperity which justly
corresponds to the Intellectual activi-
ty and high civic qualities which char
acterize the manly and cultured
American people, and for the ever
lasting glory OF it's historic founders.
I also toast for the personal happi-
ness of it's illustrious President, who
comes to honor us with his presence
and with his friendship, the manifes-
tations OF which will contribute to
the common interests which bind the
two neighboring countries whose
prospective elements OF life and
progress are reciprocallv completed
and magnified by association"
In concluding his response, Presi-
dent Taft said:
"The aims and ideas of our two
nations areidentical, their sympathy
mutual and lasting, and the world
can be assured of vast neutral zone
in which the controlling aspiration
of either nation is individual and hu-
man happiness.
II drink to my friend, the Presi-
dent of this great republic, to his
continued long life and happiness
and to the never ending bond of mu-
tual sympathy between Mexico and
the United States"
President Taft left Ell Paso at 8
p. m. to continue his journey through
the South.
President Diaz late tonight is speed
ing back to the City of Mexico.

Cardinal Gibbons Prophecy.
Louisville Courier-J ournal.

Louisville Courier-J ournal.
1t required no gift of phophecy, but
merely the courage of a sensible mans
convictions, to predict that prohibi-
tion will be abandoned, or at least
will wane asit has waved" ere long.
The Courier-J ournal has been assailed
from many directions, and by sundry
persons, actuated by divers motives,
as an apoligist for drunkenness and
an advocate of vice because it has
declined to adopt the opinion of fa-
natics that the way to make a weak
man strong is to try to club him into
sinlessness with legislation. Pre-
sumably, Cardinal Gibbons, being a
prelate OF some standing, will not be
open to a similar accusation from
any one not permanently a resident
OF an insane asylum or a retreat for
idiots.
Cardinal Gibbons says that there
Is no vice worse than intemperance:
none so dire in it's effects or so wide
spread. But he believes that reform
must come from within, and not from
without" He said in his last Sunday
sermon that legislating virtue into
the people would be ultimately found
to be fruitless. Prohibition has his
good wishes, but he believes that it
will fail.
