Smith Munsterberg Feud Is
Still 4 Mystery.

New York, March 2t.-It was expect.
ed. and a few hoped, that DR.. David
Jayne Hill, ambassador to Germany
would throw some light on the contro.
versy between Professor Charles A.
Smith OF Virginia university and DR..
Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard. But
DR.. Elm elected to keep whatever ideas
lie may entertain as to the reasons
why Mrs. Smith did not get to wear
TWO new frocks to the "schleppen-
courv given by the kaiser.
Professor Smith said some things
when he reached Baltimore the other
day IN the steamship Brandenburg.
Professor M~unsterberg's remarks on
the same subject as delivered have not
been translated to this hemisphere.
Professor Smith said, according to the
dispatches. that be was going to get
an Invitation, but when Professor
Munsterberg heard OF 1t he kicked
because he hadn't got one and threat
ened the ambassador that II Professor
Smith got cards for himself and Frau
Munsterberg didn't get 4 chance to
wear her new frock he'd cable back to
President Taft about 1t and there'd
be such a muehness OF row that the
ambassador would be In hot water
himself. and then the ambassador, ac-
cording to the interview credited to
Professor Smith, said he was a mar OF
peace and that the simplest thing was
to have the invitation to Professor
Smith cancelled. And Professor Smith
was apparently sore not only at Pro-
fess0r Munsierberg, but with the am
bassador, and considered himself a
much abused man.
Or. Fiji seemed to Be immensely
amused when a newspaper containing
the Smith interview was handed to
him Don after he arrived by the
George Washington and laughed
heartily. But he decInned to DISCUSS
the matter, as he did not wish to get
mixed up In a controversy of the sort.
DR.. Hill was accompanied by Mrs.
Hill, their daughter. Miss Margaret
Hill, and a friend of hers, Miss Marie
Merritt. He is not on the usual leave
OF absence. but is to report at Wash
ington shortly. Another reason for
his coming is that he is to deliver at
Columbia university. beginning today,
a series OF eight lectures on world
Organization as Affected by the Ma
ture of the Modern State Afterward
he expects to visit his home in Roches-
ter.

1t is we'll settled principle of Jaw
that when there is a complete chain
of circumstantial evidence that 1t is
more convincing and conclusive than
direct testimony. All of the cir
cumstances surrounding the conduct
of Senator Simmons in interfering in
Republican politics tends to show
that he is in conspiracy with a GER
tain coterie of Republicans in North
Carolina who are hostile to Chair
man Morehead and the State organi-
zation and who did nothing to help
the party in the last campaign, even
if they did not actively knife the

A Plea for More Tolerance OF
Opinion.
Snow Hill Square Deal. ]

Snow Hill Square Deal.
Rev. Billy Sunday says: 'I would
rather be the rottenest drunkard than
Bob Ingersoll." Rev. Billy Sunday
is fool. Mr.. Ingersoll had a right
to his opinion and nobody but blat-
ant ass is going to condemn another
because he thinks different from what
he does. We don't blame Brother
Sunday for preferring to be the thing
nearest to his capacity. He Is en-
titled to his choice, and that choice
seems to believing. H Essays that In
gersoll developed more libertines,
more forgers and more jail-birds than
any other man who ever had the ear
OF humanity" Mr.. Ingersoll is Of
fensive to the Billy Sunday kind be-
cause his saying was: Let us be
honest" Since all religions are
paths to the same place and one re-
ligion is as good as another, we want
to see competition among the
churches cease and fraud, sham, show
and lying stopped. Prejudice, lying
and narrow-mindedness is fast driv-
ing the people from the churches.
Bigotry, intolerance, and lying don't
go these days with people who have
brains in their think tank instead of
sawdust and muddy slush. Accord
every man right to his opinion and
don't lie on him because you don't
see as he does.

What a difference now and when
the Republicans were running the
State government. At the close of
the last fiscal year the Republicans
were in power the Legislative Com
mittee who examined the Treasurer
and Auditors Offices said that after
all appropriations had been paid
there was in the treasury on the 30th
day of November. 1898, more than
$4,000 in dry cash; that report
was made in December and the next
month, January, Democratic Legis-
lature met and began to spend this
money and increase our taxes, and
to-day our once proud t'Old North
State has to hang her head in shame
and admit that she hasn't got a dol
lar and is in debt all over, and will
have to increase our taxes a good
deal more, or issue bonds again as
she did last summer. But these are
the days of Democratic good gov

ECONOMY AND ExTRASAGANCE
CoNTRAsrED.

In another column wep ubiish a
very interesting article clipped from
abe Union Republican and written by
Justice"
Attention Is called pointedly TO the
fact that the Simmons Democratic
State Machine denounced Russell's
administration as being very ex-
1ravagant one. while the Democrats
we're constantly preaching economy
and declaring that II they were in
power they could run the Govern
4msnt for less money. and besides
that they could make the penitentiary
not only self-sustaining, but also
bring q large revenue TO the treas
ary. which would enable them TO in
crease the school fund. etc.
Justice" points out that the ex-
Denses of the State Government in
1898, under the Russell administra-
ton, were s1.287.641.18. while the
expenses of the State Government for
the last year, under the Kitchin ad-
Ininistration. were s3.594.548.70. or
nearly three times as much as the
expenses under the Republican ad-
administration.
He also calls attention sharuly TO
she fact that there Is now q deficit of
SasO.OPO. under Democratic economy
and the rule Of Democratic good
government"
We will not attempt further to,
comment upon the article, but will
request every one Of our readers to

Big Money Made BY Scotland County
Farmers.
Charlotte Observer.1

Charlotte Observer
The county that gets ahead Of lit
tie Scotland will have to move fast.
With $4,000 people, it produced &c.
060 bales Of cotton this year, or
about bale and two-thirds to every
man, woman and child in the county.
The Laurinburg Exchange estimates
that this cotton, including the seed,
was worth not less than $50 a bale,
giving the total crop a value of So
100000. Add to this the quarter
of a million received from the melon
and cantaloupe crop. Scotland's other
money-maker, and those $1,000 peo-
pie got nearly two and one-half mil
lions from their soil.
While credit is being given to pro-
gressive Scotland for this most en-
viable showing, it might be well to
reflect for moment on how this re-
cult was brought about. The natural
fertility Of the land does not suffice
to explain it. The people who are
farming that land are keenly alive
to the advances which are being made
in agricultural lines and are busy I'm
putting them into practical applfca-
ton, and it is this feature of the rec
ord which is the most important.

Who was it that rendered the

a Democrat or was it Republican?
1t was, as everybody knows, the Car

and of which syndicate Hon. Jeffer-

GOVERNOR HARMON GETS A
ROAST.

These headlines appear in the
Greensboro Daily Telegram, Demo
.Icratic.
What is the matter with Harmon
anyhow, that he so soon falls from
the good will Of his own party as a
Presidential possibility? Not long
since, at q banquet of the leading
Democratic politicians in Ohio, Har-
mon was not even invited to attend.
Now comes an open, broadside at
tack upon him by the Cincinnati En-
- quirer. the leading Democratic pa
per IN the West, which significantly
says that when the Democratic Ma
Sional Convention meets and Ohio is
called the answer will be muttered
lin two words, "I pass" That will be
sufficient to eliminate Harmon from
ahe race.
1t further suggests that as w. J..
Bryan is the real dictator in the mat
ter, he will oppose the nomination
Aot Harmon or any other man
Eriendly to trusts, railroads, protec-
sfon. and liquor; and this surely is
s5nungh, by implication, to destroy
any chance Governor Harmon might
otherwise have had.
The Enquirer is John R. McLean's
chief newspaper, a power in Ohio,
and Mclean is somewhat of a poll
sician himself. Then Tammany is
supposed to favor Harmon while Bry-
an is further opposed to Tammany.
Governor Dix is yet to be tried as
an executive, is too fresh; and is
handicapped likewise with the sup
port of Tammany; while he is said
40 be friendly to, if not actually a
partner in, some of the trusts.
Woodrow Wilson is not a politi-
clan, and can be easily depended up
on to commit political suicide almost
any day, while Governor Folk has
become Presidential chestnut.

ang Of conglomeration of isms. is

Democratic Inconsistency.

Statesville Landmark Democratic. } ]
In the House Congress this week
Speaker Cannon was sustained by an
overwhelming majority on q ruling
which was identical with the one he
made last March when the House an
grily overruled his decision through
a combination Of insurgent Republi-
cans and Democrats. Twenty-seven
Republican insurgents voted to over
rule the Speaker. but this time only
twenty-five Democrats voted with
them, one Of these being Mr.. Small.
of North Carolina. This action leaves
the Democrats In q good light. II
the Speaker was right last March, he
should have been sustained then;
and Ii he was wrong then. he was
wrong this week. Playing politics''
