A Coincidence.

1t is curious coincidence tina,

and Daniel, OF Virginia, should hav.
undergone almost precisely the same
experience. Each was stricken sud-
denly. Each was no near death that
his life was supposed to be a matter
of few hours and 1t seemed doubt
full whether his successor would be
appointed by the governor or elected
by the expiring legislature of his
State. Each after going so near tht

The gathering Of the nation
- at the Capitol Of the United States and
their presence on the peaceful assumption
by the President of his new duties has be-
come a school of patriotism IN which men,
women and children of all parties ratify,
confirm and acclaim the verdict of the peo
pie. 1t brings the man home to the masses
as their friend 1t stimulates useful
rivalry in the State troops that take part
in the parade. 1t recognizes the greatness
of the day which gives new President to
the greatest people on earth; and it makes
the whole land feel that the President is
its chief executive in time of peace and its
commander-in-chief in time of war While
he takes the oath of Office under the Con-
stitutiou, those who witness it take an I'M
spoken oath of allegiance to that Constitu
ton
The resolution further provides for the selec
ton of a successor to the President and Vice
President in the event of death of one or both oil
them between the date of the election in November
and the inauguration in the spring. The report
sets forth the necessity for this action briefly but
strongly. 1t saws:

herein pointed out IF Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Sherman had died or become disabled be-
tween the popular election in 1908 and
their Inauguration in 1909, our government
would have been without an executive for
the four ensuing years ending March A,
1913. In this hour of peace, prosperity
and governmental virility let us take
this necessary and appropriate step and

Carolina Comment


1t has been stated that the re-
pubiicans In this State always have
cold feet when II comes to prohibition.
Not all the members Of that party
are thus afflicted. but most of them
are. Yesterday Buncombe county re-
publicans held convention to send
delegates to the State and congress
sionai conventions. Everything moved
along smoothly until after the dele
gates were chosen, then the Hon.
Thomas Settle arose to offer rasoiu-
tion. Others seemed to know what
Mr.. Settle had up his sleeve--a reso-
luton about state prohibitions that
a motion to adjourn was made. Mr..
Settle. however. fought 1t. saying that
while a motion to adjourn was al
ways in order, he hoped 1t would
be withdrawn; that this was no time
for gage rule. etc. but all the time ne
was speaking the roll was being called
and the convention decided to ad-
journ by an overwhelming majority.
1t was not rag rule. Tom--just a
casa OF cold feet. Another astontshs
ing thing occurred. While as statec
the convention was hsld for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates TO the State
and congressional conventions, not a
word was said about Grant or Pear
son: the delegation goes uninstructed
and no effort was made to the con-
trary.-Greensboro Record.
