Prof. Holt Speaks His Mind Concern.
ing "Mare's Nest" Discovered by The
New York Sun.
To the Editor OF The Observer:
have been thinking over the
Mares Nest" that The New York SIM
has found in Governor Wilson's back
yard. I do not know just what The
Suns criticism is. Does it object to
the source of the fund? Does it think
that high-minded men should hesitate
because Of the possible faint" cor
nected with the money? Does it think
that the ex-president of Princeton had
not been in harness long enough to
have been justified in asking for the
pittance? Possibly it thought that q
Democrat setting out to win a state
that had just given the Republicans
$4,000 majority ought to have been so
cock-sure of turning the trick as to
burn all his bridges behind him" to
use a mixed metaphor which neither
The Sun nor the Governor would be
guilty of.
Many good men in this State are re-
ceiving such pensions and incur no OBJ
loquy by so doing. If Doctor Winston
should be mportuned to stand for
Congress, <or Governor Of North Caro-
lima, United States Senator or even
President, any Of which Offices he
would fill far better than many who
have filed them and any OF which he
would honor, would it be pleaded in
bar that he asked for and received
Carnegie pension?
Frankly, Mr.. Editor, it seems that
this is another case OF fighting among
ourselves. If there were either polit-

THE TEMPERANCE RESOLUTION.

Baptist State Convention Goes on Re
cord for Sobriety and Law Enforce
ment.
The following report of the commit
tee on Temperance was adopted by the
Baptist State Convention during its re-
cent session at Winston Salem:
'sWe recommend our faithful preach
ers, our press and Sunday school
workers for their work in temperance
reform and we feel assured that they
will continue the wholesome education
of our people in practical temperance.
I'VE commend those newspapers in
North Carolina that refuse to carry
liquor advertisements.
1--WE favor strong national protect
ing prohibition territory from the in
terstate commerce in liquor.
1--WE most emphatically disapprove
the policy of our national government
in granting liquor license in prohibi-
ton territory and declare it to be an
unholy alliance with anarchy and bold
disregard of the plain rights of SOW
ereign people.
eve command the North Carolina
anti-saloon league as worthy Of our
continued moral and financial support.
''We commend to our people coop
erative work, local and general, to Sc
cure the best enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws of the state.
"And finally there must be no let

ruin caused by the intoxicating liquors

ton we may go on to the final over
throw of this arch enemy Of the hui
man race.
Amendment to Report.
s. F. Conrad offered the following
resolution as an amendment to the re-
port on temperance and with this
amendment the report was adopted.
Resolved that it is sense Of this
convention that the will Of the people
of North Carolina by more than $4,000
majority against the sale of liquor be
carried out; that the opposition
through the near-beer saloon defied
the will of the people and our last leg
islature to their great credit passed a
law which eliminated. this from the
state. There was another bill in the
last legislature to destroy the system
of clubs now being run under cover
and in opposition, as we believe, to
the law and the spirit of the law and
the will of the people expressed at the
ballot box.
"This convention hereby calls upon
all lovers of home and their native
land to use their utmost endeavor to
see to it that these clubs be put out of
existence when run illegally, and we
have not law sufficient to destroy this
evil, that we appeal to the conscience
and hearts of the people of North Car
DINA to see that our next legislature
destroys this menacing evil

CRAWFORD FOB AYCoCK.
Former Tenth District Congressman
FavOrs Popular Ex-Governor For
United States Senator.
(Raleigh News and Observer.)

(Raleigh News and Observer
Raleigh certainly is improving rap
idly" said ex-Congressman w. T.
Crawford, of Waynesville, who is here
attending the Supreme court, to a re-
porter Of The News and Observer yes
terday. 1.-THE new Auditorium is the
finest have ever seen anywhere. and
the hotel facilities are now sufficient
to meet the demand of the public, y
the ex-congressmau went on to say,
while the substantial growth Of the
city is evidenced by the many hand
some new buildings and numbers OF
others in process of construction
Concerning political conditions in
general, Mr.. Crawford had little to say.
But when questioned as to his prefer
ence for United States Senator in the
approaching contest for the seat of
Senator Simmons, he gave expression
the following:
81 am supporting Ex-Governor Ay-
cock on account of his superb ability
and matchless Oratory, which would
enable him to stand in the front rank
with the greatest senators of the
country;
Because of his distinguished ser
vice to the State and the Democratic
party, and the Inadequate recognition
that has been accorded him, in pro-
portion to his just deserts.
For the further reason that the
Democratic party would honor itself
and the State by showing it's apprecia-
ton of the love for his State and the
devotion to principle that has charac-
teriZed the record of Governor Aycock
in every incident of his public career.
The recognition he has received is by
no means commensurate with the
great service rendered, and / am thor
oughly convinced that the party should
not lose this opportunity to honor the
man who SO richly deserves it. In ad-
dition. the nomination of Governor Ay-
cock for Senator would allay all strife
and bitterness in the party and this is
more to be desired than gratifying the
of any man.
"The Democratic party has long adj
hered to the idea, so we'll expressed by
Senator Vance, that the horse that
pulls should have the fodder. There is
no gainsaying the fact that Governor
Aycock has done considerable amount
Of mighty hard pulling. I made up my
mind to support him, even before his
candidacy was announced, and see no
reason to change now. He is able; he
is deserving, and the party cannot do
better than to elect him senator next
year. ~

ternal
washington, Dec. president
Taft today sent to Congress q brief
formal message transmitting the full
text of the report of the investigating
board which found that the battleship
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor
By an external explosion.
The board was headed by Admiral
/ Vreeland of the navy. 1t began work
on the exposed wreck at Havana Nov
ember 20 and found that the injuries
to the bottom of the Maine were caused
by the explosion Of charge of low
form of explosive exterior to the ship,
between frames % and 81, port side.
This resulted in igniting and exploding
the contents of the six-inch reserve
magazine. The more or less complete
explosion of the contents of the re-
naming forward magazines followed.
The board in it's report emphasized
the fact that it found that what is call
ed the port starboard stake-a con-
tfnuous line Of planking running from
stem to stern-was dished upwards as
much as "a inches from the straight
line; that &c" was displaced upwards
and inwards" and that part of the in
ner bottom plating was displaced up
wards and left approximately six feet
above its original position"
The destruction wrought by the two
explosions of distinctly different
character" was found to be much more
extensive than had been anticipated.
The report in technical terms describ-
ed how plates were crumpled, how
some portions of what had once
been a great battleship were turned
inside out and how parts of the bottom
works generally were displaced.
"The debris of one-pounders, six
Founders, six-inch and ten-inch ammu-
milton were found widely scattered
through the wreck" said the repor t
''The location of much of this material
bore little relation to it's original
stowage condition. Powder tanks were
torn asunder or crushed and f1attened.
"The condition of the vertical keel
and fat keel at frame 18 was ascribed
by the court of inquiry of 1898,"-(the
year of the war with Spain that follow
ed the blowing up of the Maine)-"t
direct effect of an explosion exterior to
the ship in that vicinity"
Because of it's better opportunity
for a detailed examination of this
wreckage now fully exposed the pres
ent board concluded that the external
explosion which ignited the magazines
was not in the vicinity of this frame
"1S."
"The protective decks of the hull of
the ship" the report said, formed a
closed chamber in which the gases
were generated and partially expanded
before rupture"
The bow portion of the Maine was
found pointed and lying on its star
board side. The upper part of that
portion of the ship in the vicinity of
the forward magazines was entirely
swept away. Only about one-half of
the bottom was left in position.
The Maine explosion occurred al
most IA years ago. In that disaster
two officers and 264 of her crew per-
ished. The report, perfunctorily, was
ordered printed and referred to the
naval affairs committees of the two
houses.

The Shadow of Science.

It is hard TO believe that shadow
is probably the origin of all astrono-
mical, geometrical and geographical
science The first man who fixed his
staff PRECAUTIONARY in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow of gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. 1t is from the shadow of
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours of
work for water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
