Los Angeles, April 27.--Clarence
Darrow, the Chicago attorney who
figured in the defense of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, has been retained
as chief counsel for John and James
Mcnamara and Ortie McManigal, the
alleged dynamiters. This was denied
by MIR. Darrow later who is now in
Chicago. The first steps for the de-
fence are looked for today.
A conference of the accused men
and their attorneys, o. NJ. Hilton of
Denver and Job Hartman of Los
Angeles, may be held after the sched-
uled meeting of James B. Mcnamara
and Mrs. D. H. Ingersoll, the San
Francisco lodging house keeper, to
ascertain if the latter can identify
Mcnamara as the person who lived
In her house under the name of ].
B. Bryce. This event is scheduled to
take place In the county Jail in the
presence Of the county officials.
More light was thrown on Ortie E.
McManigal's alleged confession of
dynamiting of the Llewellyn iron
works of this city by Robert Brain,
under sheriff Of this county, who had
charge of McManigal in the trans
continental trip just ended. Brain
said the prisoner had voluntarily con-
fessed to him while on the train. Ac-
cording to Brain, McManigal brought
up the subject last Monday morning,
the second day out from Chicago, by
asking what punishment would be
given him If he were to turn states

Is 1t "Talk" Again ?

Rocky Mount, N. C.-1s the At
lantic Coast Line going into Raleigh
by way of Spring Hope and Bum
and has the agreement with the Sea-
board Air Line terminated whereby
as long as the Atlantic Coast Line
used the bridge across Roanoke river
that the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road was to stay out Of Raleigh?
There has been considerable discus
sion provoked among the newspa-
pers and with railroad folks, which
was evidently started by an article
in the State press recently when it
was explained that an agreement as
outlined had long existed with the
Seaboard and that now the Atlantic
Coast Line was about to complete
its new double track bridge across
the Roanoke river that it might be
expected that such an agreement
would be broken and that the At
lantic Coast Line might enter Raj
eigh, the route suggested being the
nearest possible, from Spring Hope
to Bum and on through to Raleigh,
a distance Of less than Is miles.

Henry Clay Brown.

The news of the death Of Corpora
ton Commissioner c. Brown has carried
genuine sorrow to thousands Of
hearts throughout North Carolina.
He was one of the most modest men
who have ever held public Office in
this State; yet the State has never
had a more earnest, painstaking,
efficient, tireless, honest and faith
ful official. No one will be found to
question Henry Browns motive or
his desire to do at all times that
which he conscientiously believed to
be right.
He became clerk to the railroad
commission when that department
of the State government was estab-
lished twenty years ago, and by his
intelligent grasp Of the responsible
ties of the place made himself so in
dispensable that he was retain, d
continuously through the changing
administrations. He appeared to be
a fixed part of its organization, and
naturally succeeded himself when
the name was changed to the cor
poration commission.
Upon the death Of Commissioner
B. F. Aycock in April Of last year
Mr.. Brown was appointed by Gov
ernor Kitchin as his successor. In
the fall he was elected to fill the un-
expired term of four years. He was
perhaps the best posted man in the
State in regard to such matters as
come properly before the corpora
ton commission for adjudication.
He will be missed Greensboro

Platform Democrat.

When it comes to an examination
Of records, very few Democratic
politicians viii be found who have
been strictly trlc 20 the platform of
the party-who ia"e really taken
the platform as Their political guide.
But The Chronicle thinks it can
name one, Congressman Claude
Kitchin, Of North Carolina. So far
as we can recall, every vote he has
cast in Congress has been in accord
ance with platform requirements.
He has taken the platform as # it
were in fact the Democratic Bible,
and we do not know that he has ever
made an attempt to warp it to suit
his notion. This much can be said
to Mr.. Kitchin's credit without fear
of contradiction. To him platform
is platform, and if his party finds
fault with his speeches and his votes,
it is not upon him it should frown,
but the platform it placed him on

Newspaper Luck.

Editing a newspaper is nice thing.
If we publish jokes, people say we
are rattle-brained. If we don't we
are fossils. If we publish original
matter they say we don't give them
enough selections. If we give them
selections they say we are too lazy
to write.
If we don't go to church we are
heathens. If we do 60 we are hypo-
critics. If we remain in the Office we
ought to be out looking for news
items. If we go out then we are
not attending to business. If we
wear old clothes they laugh at US.
If we wear good clothes they say we
have a pull.
Now, what are we to do?
Just as likely as not some one viii
say that we stole this from an ex
change. So we did.

Which Foot Walks Faster.

You may think thisis very silly
question to ask but it isn't. If you
will take a pavement that is clear,
and walk briskly in the center you
will find before you have gone fifty
yards you have veered very to one
side. You must not make any ef-
fort, of course, to keep in the center;
but if you will think of something
and endeavour to walk naturally
you will be able to keep a correct
line. If you lose yourself on an ex-
panse of black moorland, and walk
on, you will describe complete cir
Gle.
The explanation of this lies in the
propensity Of one foot to walk faster
than the other or to take a longer
stride than the other causing you to
walk to one side.
To make assurance double sure,
try placing two sticks eighty feet
apart; then stand off about sixty
feet, blindfold yourself, and en-
deavour to walk between them. II

The Proposition That Men 90 Tr0user.
less Not Well Received.

Artists and sculptors have long
been in rebellion against the clothes
of the modern man, and so it is not
surprising to learn from sympos-
ium in a weekly journal of Rome
that out Of thousand answers by
painters and writer's as to what
should constitute the regulation at
tire of man in the future, eight hum
dred and forty are in favor of rad
ical change.
One artist thinks there are too
many buttons on mans attire, and
mere statement will probably carry
conviction to the unprejudiced mind.
Some of these buttons seem to bear
much the same relation to what
Carlyle called the Vestural Tissue of
man as the vermiform appendix
does to the body. They are chiefly
employed, it would seem. in getting
a man into trouble. Of course, for
soldiers and policemen, the more
buttons the better, because brass
buttons, by common consent, repre-
sent organized authority.
Another artist is opposed to mans
attire because it Is colorless and
therefore does not give the impress
sion of animation and energy.
Moreover it is without folds and is
therefore not conducive to grace.
Another is in favor Of dispensing
with trousers on the ground that
this garment is the enemy to sculp-
ture. But why should trousers give
way entirely that statues shall be
more graceful? We don't know how
many statues there are in the uni
verse, although by general agree
ment there are far too many; but
their number whatever it may be is
small compared with the millions Of
men who have never been dignifed
in marble or bronze. Shall a mil
lion men go trouser.ess in order that
one of the million may appear more
graceful in a blanket or togo?
After all it is not the writer's, ar
fists and sculptors who are to de-
sidee. what nan shall wear. 1t is the
tailor; and while there is an ancient
jest at the expense of the tailor as
being only the ninth part Of a man
it is mostly all talk. Even the great
Corsican bowed to the dictates of
Leger his tailor, and when Napoleon
took q fancy to have the skirts of
his tunic turned back like those of
Frederick the Great, Lege4 replied,
Il shall not think of allowing such a
thing, sire! You would look absurd.
NV reputation would be lost.
If even Napoleon could not with
stand his tailor, what chance has the
ordinary man?-New York World.

In Re The Negro.

Some how or other we have always
had warm spot for the negro-that
is the good negro, the negro who at
tends to his own business and tries
to make a decent living and respects
himself and the white people among
whom he lives. We dislike the cup
pity" negro just as we dislike the
vain, pompous and conceited white
man. We want to see all our people
prosper along industrial and intel
lectual lines. AS matter of fact,
our first concern is the white people,
but we believe that if the negro
prospers it will be an incentive to
stir the white man to greater efforts.
We have no patience with the idea
of social equality.
There are lots of white people
whom you do not associate with, not
because they are not as wealthy as
you may be, or because they may
not be as We'll educated as you may
be, but because they have not enough
respect for themselves to make you
respect them. No self-respectipg
white person will associate Oh terms
of equality with colored. person,
and no self-respectlng colored per-
son would for a moment think of at
tempting to associate On terms of
equality with white person. There
is a line that has been drawn, espec-
ially for we people of the South,
that must be adhered to, and yet
there is nothing about that line
which keeps the white man from
helping the negro and wishing him
well.-Gaffney IS. c. Ledger.

The MARCH, OF AN idea.
II Should Reach all Over the State Of
North Carolina.

About two years ago small can
ming plant was established neal
Kings Mountain. Its first seasor
was encouraging. its second still
more so, and it is now being put ir
readiness to do rushing bushes.
during the approaching summer.
little while ago a newcomer to Gas
ton county instituted a truck farm
near Gastonia. Succeeding we'll ir
this venture, he has announced that
he will within the next few months
establish canning factory, and the
fruit and vegetable growers in his
vicinity are evincing an interest in
the proposition which offers a most
gratifying guarantee Of it's success.
These two items Of industrial news
have much intrinsic Importance for
the section from which the fruit and
vegetables to be canned will come,
but their interest is not by any
means local. The Lincolnton News
quotes a detailed statement from
the Gastonia Progress with refer
ence to the matter and adds:
Right. here in Lincolnton some
one with a small amount of capital
could make good money in this busi-
ness. 1t will bear investigation"
In the next county to the north
the Newton News draws precisely
the same inference. Noting the
Gastonia proposal, the last named
contemporary comments:
eve believe there is good money
in the business and would like to see
a factory established here. It ere
ates market for truck and furnish
es supply of pure food products
Individuals who operate on a small
scale do very we'll indeed"
We are not informed as to how
much influence the Kings Mountain
venture had upon the inauguration
of the Gastonia plans; it was doubt
less considerable. We have the best
evidence that the latter has aroused
interest in two neighboring counties
where conditions are so nearly SINH
lar as tn give the same promise OF
success. Thus it goes. The people
of North Carolina are becoming
every year more familiar with what
is being attempted around them ano
are borrowing ideas from each other
right andleft. There is scarcely any
other single sign of the times which
looms as big with promise. The
eventual result will be that the State
will! have a prosperity which applies
to every county and not merely to
one here and there. Charlotte OBJ

HOT AIR At The CAPITOL.
With $27, 900 Available Congress Can't
Hare Its Cooling Plant.

Although Congress slipped
through an appropriation of $27 900,
about fifteen minutes before final
adjournment. for the fortification of
the Capitol, it will avail nothing. 1t
was an appropriation for apparatus
with which to cool the air. of the
Senate and House, but the President
was so quick on the trigger in calling
the extra session for April that
the machine cannot be installed in
time to give any relief from the hot
air of the summer of 1911.
The President is fortified. He had
such machine put in about the
first thing after he became president.
His Office in the White House is fixed
to keep cool no matter how much
hot air comes along, either from the
weather or refrigerator plant works
By it the President can stand an en-
tire summer in Washington it he has
to. For he can keep his office at 70
and wait in their depths for Congress
to do it's darndest, while Congress
will have to labor in whatever tenn
perature happens TO be ruling in
Washington, and the temperature in
Washington is known to rule high in
summer.
1t had been the intention of Con
gress to have a grand overhauling of
the Capitol this summer. For one
thing, plans had been prepared to
rearrange the seating of the House
of Representatives by throwing cut
the desks, making the hall consider
ably smaller, and bringing the mem
bers closes together, so that they
could all hear the debate if tney
wanted to. This also was expected
to result in enough additional seats
to take care Of the membership in
case the reapportionment bill increa-
sing the membership Of the House
from 391 to 433 pissed. AT present
only those members with foghorn
voices can make themselves heard
all over the hall, and frequently
those with foghorn voices are the
ones who have nothing to say the
fast care TO hear.
To rebuild the house and rut in
the air-cooling refrigerator plant in
House and Senate will take about
seven months, and this coming long
summer was supposed to contain the
necessary seven. But President
Taft spoiled it. The architects
couldn't even make. start in the
80 days between March 4 and April
4. Next summer there will be the
long session of Congress, and some
times these long sessions last half
way to fall, SO that no seven months
for tearing ug the halls of Congress
are in sight. then.-Washington cor

ly miss the essentials. Few persons
realize that artificial drinks fail to
meet the daily wants of the system.
A very large number are actually
falling behind in health for the lack
of pure drinking water to cool and
refresh the overloaded blood. Wa
ter is frequently repudiated by men
and women who seem wholly un-
mindful that it has advantages for
them beyond price.
More than three-fourths Of the
contents Of the body is water, nine-
tenths Of the brain and nervous sys-
tenn is water, likewise the blood and
otter fluids. The daily supply of
water required by the average size
man or woman varies according to
age, work and climate.
There are no known counter-indi-
cations to the use of water as a
drink. The quantity may be what
ever the stomach and intestines are
able to absorb. 1t is safe to say
that pure water may be drunk at
any hour and with hardly any limit
alton save such as might be plain to
any one.
Strange as it may seem, few are
aware that clean pure water has
virtues superior to medicated liquids
as a life saving agency. Mineral
waters, either natural or artificial,
fail to satisfy and are less whole
