ROOSEVELT HOME AGAIN.
The Ex.President Given Great Ovation
on His Arrival In New York.

New York dispatch, 18th.
Theodore Roosevelt set foot on
home shores today for the first time
in nearly Is months and received
rousing welcome.
He had an expansive smile Tor
everybody, a CHEEKY word for the
"boys," his old friends, the news
paper men, a pat anecdote for the
politicians, especial greetings OF anec-
ton for his old command, the Rough
Riders, and quick eye for absolutely
everything.
The line of march in the lower city
was through a seething whirlpool OF
enthusiasm. The tall cliffs OF the
canyon that is Broadway, were
speckled with faces at the windows.
Everything imaginable was waved
allow and aloft.
Mayor Gaynor delivered a brief
speech of welcome as follows:
eve are all here to welcome Mr..
Roosevelt to New York. We have
watched his progress through Eu-
rope with delight. Wherever he has
gone he has been honored as man
and as an exponent of the principles
OF the government of this country.
he was received everywhere in Eu-
rope and honored as no man from
this country ever was honored. We
glory in all that and it only remains
for me to say now, Mr.. Roosevelt,
that we welcome you again"
Responding Col. Roosevelt said:
81 thank you, Mayor Gaynor.
Through you thank your committee
and through them l wish to thank
the American people for their greet
ing. | need hardly say | am most
deeply moved by the reception given
me. No man could receive such a
greeting without being made to feel
both very proud and very humble.
81 have been away a year and q
quarter from America and l have
seen strange and interesting things
alike in the heart of the frewning
wilderness and in the capitals OF the
mightiest and most highly polished
ofcivilized nations. / have thorough
ly enjoyed myself, and now l am
more glad than | can say to get
home, to be back in my own country,
back among people I love. l am
eager to do my part so far as | am
able in helping to solve problems
which must be solved. If we do this,
the greatest democratic republic
apon which the sun has ever shone, is
to see it's destinies rise to the high
level of our hopes and it's opportuni-
ties. This is the duty OF every citi-
zen, but it is peculiarly my duty, for
any man who has ever been honored
by being made President of the Uni
ted Sta ties is thereby forever after
rendered the debtor of the American
people and is bound throughout his
life to remember this as his prime
obligation and in private life as
much as in public life so to carry
himself that the American people
may never feel cause to regret that
they once placed him at their head. "

Salisbury Post.
Hon. Z. J. Justice, OF Greensboro,
former speaker OF the House, is very
able man. AS iurist and legislator
he ranks high, for he gives every sub
iect in hand careful investigation and,
backing up his conclusions with the
force of native ability, makes an i'm
preston whenever he speaks. Unfor-
tunately for Mr.. Justice, he has a
jaundiced view of all things that re-
late to combinations OF capital-or,

In Sundays News and Observer ap-
pears communication from Mr.. JUS
tice in which he expresses apprehen-
sion that the american Tobacco
Company spirit" has been too much
encouraged since the trust bought
$1,O0O,O00 block of State bonds
and calls upon the Democratic
party to enact an antitrust law with
teeth before the trusts own the State.
The State OF North Carolina is un-
der no obligations to the American
Tobacco Company or any other cor
poration, company or individual for
buying it's bonds. The purchase was
made purely as business PROPOSE
ton. Money had no finer oppor-
tunity to better itself and the tobac-
co trust, a corporation in the bust
ness for dividends and not for senti-
mental purposes, appreciated this
fact.
All such as were animated by a
spirit OF State pride in investing in
these bonds are in the class with
| any other lover Of his State who
In some way Or other manifests
| his devotion to the Commonwealth,
with the difference that every buyer
has strengthened the stability of
a corporation or Individual, while
many render their State service at
sacrifice without reward or hope Of
reward.
We hold no brief for the American
Tobacco Company. We are convinced
that it is a monopoly that does not
| hesitate to suppress competition by
the same methods the Standard Oil
Company employs, by the suppress

Mr.. Justice desires, a statute many
of the most thoughtful lawyers in the
State declare would destroy every
tobacco farm, factory, and ware
house in the State and include in it's
scope every other organization,
among them the Farmers Union,
whenever three or more agree to fix a
minimum price for their products?
Mr.. Justice need not fear that
North Carolina will bend the knee or
seek the thrift that follows fawning
because the American Tobacco Com

the State. We donot apprehend, how
ever, that there will be any more ef-
fective antitrust laws enacted by any
party in this State until concessions

Convention Reflections.

Editor Julian of the Salisbury Post,
writes interestingly OF the recent
press convention at Wrightsville
Beach. Among other things he says
this:
1t is not stretching the truth to say
that the citizens of Wilmington can
not be surpassed as hosts. Nothing
was left undone to make the visit of
the editors agreeable. City officials,
members of the local press and pri-
vate citizens were one in making for
the good time the visitors had. No
invidious comparison is intended
when Col. Jimmie" Cowan, editor of
The Wilmington Dispatch, is singled
out for special word of praise. Mr..
Cowan is bundle OF energy, which
he directs Understandings, and was
on the spot all the time. He is a
choice spirit and the craft will be
thinking very much about him in the
future.
1t is to be doubted if such affection
ate regard as that expressed for
Joseph p Caldwell by several differ
ent speakers and shared in by the
whole association has been manifest
ed toward any private citizen of the
State. His continued illness was the
only shadow upon the spirits of the
convention. 1t is indeed worth while
when, after running counter, as J. p.
Caldwell has times innumerable, to
popular opinion, one is accorded
such tokens otspontaneous and genu-
inc esteem.
The editor most inquired about
during the conventions life was Col.
Wade 81. Harris, OF the Charlotte
Chronicle. Every editor who canlay
hands on the paper reads The Chron-
icle and turns first to it's editorial
page, where may be found from three
to five columns OF entertaining edi-
torial every day. Col. Harris could
not write dull line If he tried hard
and he must be highly pleased man
at some of the bouquets tossed his
way by his fellow scribes.
No paper OF the whole convention
was received with more interest or
evoked more thoughtful discussion
than that by MIR. James P. Cook, OF
The Uplift, on "The Boy" Mr. Cook,
to whom more than any other agen-
cy the Jackson Training School owes
its existence, is in deadly earnest
about saving the hayward boys oil
the State and his paper was followed
by an extended discussion In which
the responsibility of the parent to the
child was emphasized. The Associa.
ton went on record as being In
hearty sympathy with the Training
School but it did not stop there. II
recommended that the Legislature
next year deal more literally with the
institution. Now, if the press of the
State will keep the fight up for al
adequate appropriation for THU
school it will not be necessary in the
future as it is now to turn away boy.

"THE SINS OF THE FATHER
Significant Title of a New Play BY
Thomas Dixon.

A new play is announced by Thorn
as Dixon. A dramatic item reads AS
follows:
"The Sins of the Father" is the
title OF a new Southern play which
has just been completed by Thomas
Dixon. 1t will be produced by George
FL. Brennan early in September. The
author of ''The Clansman" again Sc
lects the race problem as his subject,
the theme of his latest effort having
beeRsuggested, it is said, by the re-
cent court decisions in Louisiana and
Washington dealing with the de-
termination of the vanishing color
line. 1t has always been debatable
question whether the negro blood
eventually disappears through the
constant commingling of the white
and black races or whether the faint
is absolutely ineradicable. In ''The
Sins OF the Father" Mr.. Dixon's treat
ment of this vital issue is said to be
highly Illuminating. The few persons
who have been privileged to read the
manuscript declare that it is the
strongest and most intense he has
ever written. They predict for it an
other whirlwind triumph like that
achieved by "The Clansman."

The Fight on Judge Long.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
In a little editorial a few days ago
about the efforts being made to de-
feat Judge Long, The Chronicle ap-
pears to have dicovered the source
from which the opposition to him
comes. Following up what we said
in that paragraph, it might not be
amiss to say that we are not person
ally acquainted with Judge Long.
We have never met him, yet we know
by his record that he is a good and
fearless iUdge-iust the sort the peo-
pie OF North Carolina want on the
bench. In view of this fight that is
being made on Judge Long, it is en-
tirely proper to call attention to a
few things. One is that holding the
judicial office which he does, Judge
Long could not afford to go into a
scramble for denomination. We be-
lieve that he is rated as one of the
best Judges OF the Superior Court
bench in the State. And, again, we
are losing some OF our best. Three
experienced judges have recently re-
tired and one other has said that he
can no longer afford to remain in the
service. In view OF these facts, it be.
comes the people of the State to look
we'll into the matter of the judiciary.
The Chronicle is no spokesman fol-
Judge Long, but it takes this much for
granted: That bis labors as a Judge
are congenial with his chosen field
that he has made good" as the say.
ing goes, on the bench, and that
by every right, he should be given
another term, not only by way of vim
dlcation, but by way OF endorsement
for the idea of Judge being crucified
by reason OF his stand for Justice anC
right, must be abhorrent to all peo
| pie who are in their minds.

Paul Morton's attention is respect
fully called to that particular pas
sage in the Osawatomie speech,
which runs: 81 believe that the Off
GERS, and especially the directors, OF
corporations should be held person
ally responsible when any corpora
ton breaks the law."-Springfeld Re-
publican.
That suggests a very ugly incident
in Roosevelt's record. He didn't prac-
tice that doctrine with Morton, but
rather took his side. And 1t is Won
derful how everybody remembers it.,
now that Roosevelt advocates the
punishment of the officers when a
corporation has gone wrong. That
Morton matter Is about the only
thing that many people remember
against Roosevelt. Morton now holds
an $4,000 insurance job that he
never would have got had not Teddy
dilly-dallied with duty-Ohio State
Journal.
But the State Journal neglects to
state the most important luclueuL OL
the reminiscence. Judson Harmon
was the lawyer whom Teddy en-
ployed in behalf of the government
to prosecute corporations that caught
Paul Morton, formerly of the Santa
Fe railroad, and at that time a mem
ber of the Roosevelt cabinet. 1t WIS
Judson Harmon who gave Teddy the
enlightenment that prosecutions for
violations of law had to be personal,
that 1t was the officers of the cor
porations who must be prosecuted.
Thereupon Teddy discharged JudsoR
Harmon and dismissed him from the
case and protected Paul Morton, who
remained in the cabinet until he was
provided with the fat job in the big
Insurance office. The State Journal
has printed these facts on various
occasions, but to do SO now might be
dangerous campaign boost for Gov
ernor Harmon. Newark Advocate.
