HATS orr no DANIEL. nooNE.

A week or so ago there was a great
celebration in North Carolina in honor
Of Daniel Boone. who was born in
Pennsylvania. There were twenty or
Twenty-Five thousand people present,
according TO the affidavit of the Char
lotte Chronicle, which is not good at
estimating crowds-a hundred or so
stalwart North Caroinians always APP
pearing to its fecund imagination as so
many thousand. That, however, is
neither here nor there; the fact is that
there was a celebration, and sit was
field day from the locked wheels
TO a dog fight" In the last feature
we are sure that Daniel would have
taken a lively human interest, be-
cause he was n man of large human
"a day of Incidents The reporter
lost his way, the train on the South
ern being nearly three hours late, and
he had 10 pay seven dollars TO "a re-
sourcefu livery stable man" for a
rig with which to reach the seat of the
disturbance. He also had to pay toll
to cross some sort OF creek that
happened to be in the way. the driver
having taken the wrong road. But
that was an right as 1t turned out
because the reporter, the same being
tho editorin-chiet. really found on,
that 'the farm houses look like
suburban residences" ana this from
an editor who lives in Charlotte, where
all the houses look like suburban resi-
denees, say out Glnter Paris or West
hampton way. The drive was an eye
opener as it was, and for that much
we ought to be duly thankful.

Politics IN CONNECTICUT.
There is an interesting political sit
nation in Connecticut The Hon. Nor
gan q. Bnikeley is one of the United
states Senators from that state. He
will be seventy-three years old the
day after Christmas next December
lie has been in the Senate since ian
airy II. 1906. and his term will expire
I'm March. 1911. He would like TO go
back and he is an active candidate
for denomination and reelection. lie
is also said to be a very clever poiiti-
ctan. lie has not made much of Sen
ator. we do not know of single
great public question with which ms
name Is intimately associated nor any
special movement for the alienation
of the toiIing millions which he orisi-
mated or which he has in any way pro-
NOTED. He has been very regular
however, in his upristngs and downsit-
tings and lie has consistently played
the part of the thorough going parti-
san. That. we suppose, was his chief
M
claim TO the support of the Rcpubli-
cans of his state. Besides, he is pos
sossed of much sanslble and intangible
property.
All this is interesting enough in its
way: but it does not touch the ques-
ton that is now giving some concern
to political circles in Connecticut.
There was an understanding, according
TO some reports. that MIR. Buckley
would not be candidate for re-slec-
ton TO the Senate upon the expiration
Of his present term. This understand
ing is said to have been made with
former Governor Mclean, who agreed
to support Buckley If Buckley would
agree not to be in oIcLean's way
when he offered for the Senate. Bulke-
ley has forgotten all about it, one of
tie reports from Washington is that
he has changed his mind because he
likes life in Washington" Buckley
himself has sent a dispatch to the
Hartford courant saying that the story
sent from Washington is "an absolut,
fabrication" and that AZ have neve

"Ballinger Threat to Punish His

from Washington about the Pinchot
case. We are inclined to think, how
ever. that when Ballinser is through
with his present trouble, he will get
out of the Cabinet, not because he is
in any sense guilty of any of the
offences charged against him. because
he Is not: but because he owes that

Carolina WHY he didn't stop here we
have meyer been able to understand. 1t
was either because he didn't know the
best thing when he saw 1t or the peo-
pie OF Virginia in that day We're u
little more particular than they are
now. Judge prltchard was equal TO
the draft upon his resources OF COM
position and eloquence. and really
made a most Instructive address. 1t
was the best thing at the celebration
and afforded modern example OF
making bricks without straw. He re-
viewed tho history Of the intrepid en-
nlorer and fighter, described his re-
ligion, his wild. free life, the difficult
ties he oyercainc in the painless for
ests, the dangers he faced, the OBJ
staoles he surmounted. the triumphs
he achieved and the short time he
tarried before he moved on to the
OZARK and bloody ground of Ken
lucky. whore lie did his best work in
thinning out the savages. The adj
dress was we'll wrought and will so
into the historical annals of North
Carolina as proof that it is not UNI
mindful of the great men of history
even If they do not stay very long
"in it's midst we concur with all
of Judge Pritchards speech that we
have read 1t was honorins to him
and to the cause.
The celebration was held on April
80 and we are told by the Charlotte
Observer, from which we have learned
the most of our North Carolina his
tory, that the significance of the cele-
bration was that the date for the
dedication was "the 160th anniversary
of the departure of the Boone family
from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for
their new home on the banks of the
Yadkin River. and the list anniver-
sary of the departure of Daniel Boone
from North Carolina for Kentucky"
That was enough. At one time we
lived in Kentucky, and In behalf of
our former fellow citizens of that
State we thank the North Carolinians
for the honor they have paid one Of
our greatest men. If anybody else
ever passed through North Carolina
and stayed overnight it is not too
much to hope that some time in the
dim and misty future there will be
some patriotic body or other that will
celebrate the incident.
