INTERVIEWS AND DENIAIS,

The Charleston Netos and Courier Is not in
clined to be too severe on Rev. Charles r. Brent,
bishop of the Philippines, who came over to this
country In the steerage and talked rather too
freely about It to the reporters, although some
others, 1t says, are saying some caustic things
about him. In the kindness Of its heart the
News ana Courier lays part Of the blame on the
but, not to be severe on those of
It's own profession. mitigates the crime. after
ALL" 1t says, perhaps it was not Bishop Brent's
fault that all this talk about his democratic spirit
got into the newspapers" and continues:
Probably. on the other hand. 1t was all due to
reportorial enterprise. Alert newspaper men may
have found out that the bishop OF the Philippines
had come over in the steerage. II the bishop
could be made to talk, the story would be all the
better. So, perhaps, they found the bishop and
persuaded him to talk. and he said some things
which were probably sane and sensible enough
in conversation, but which seem rather fatuous
and decidedly theatrical when printed in the
newspapers. Probably he Will be more careful
the next time.
Just here 1t might be we'll to remark that the
Nems and Courier has put It's finger on the cause
of much misunderstanding that sometimes arises
between public men and the newspapers which
quote them. The man interviewed or the public
speaker makes remarks that sound we'll enough
In conversation or in a speech, but which, when
read in cold type. seem different or. it may be.
really take on an entirely different meaning.
Then the speaker fatty denies the interviw or
the report Of his speech and both newspaper and
the man quoted denounce each other as ~falsihers
and libelers. Sometimes, Of course. the news.

public man has given out a statement as a feeler.
and. finding that it does not strike a popular
chord. he denies 1t or else he says in heat more
than he intends and takes a denial as the shortest
way out. However, the possible explanation OF
Bishop Brents talkativeness. given by the
Charleston newspaper. may be true In this case
and may not, but 1t undoubtedly Is true In many
others.

Walking at Seventy-five.

Edward Payson Weston, the veteran pedes-
TRAN. evidently believes that a man is but as
old as he feels, and that a merry heart carries
a long way. To start a jaunt of 1900 miles Is
no slight proposition even for those who have
youth in their legs. Its stages would mean
sore punishment for the vast majority of our
citizens who balk at walking a few blocks.
That a man seventy-hve years old should set
out to -trudge from New York TO Minneapolis
minus all aid save that of "shank's mare is q
most remarkable feat.
Weston is not out for breaking records. but
will take sixty days so as not to hurry. Twenty
five miles per diem, during this period will
show what can be done under the simple rules
of rational living. The hike has this moral
which Weston desires to enforce. He has an
unusual stock of vim or OF urage-possib
both. yet he Is firmly persuaded that In these
respects he Is no odd freak, being eminently
willing to confde his secret to any who meet
him along his travels.
Moderation in diet and plenty of real exer-
cise-these are Weston's two tables of the law.
Obedience to these has carried him through
the most strenuous exhibitions of walking
matches ever Observation-Disclosures Press.

Another View.

President Wilson has done the country a SER
vice in warning 1t that a great lobby is at work
in the national capital-striving to prevent pub
lie sentiment and destroy the fruits Of recent
popular triumphs in elections. There was
never a larger gathering of men whose selfish
interests demands the perversion Of legislation.
The people of the country ought to awake to
the fact which the president points out that
they have no lobby at work in their interest al
though they need a defense against their well
known enemies, who have abundant money. are
reckless OF truth, skilled in the use of .sophistry
and Misrepresentation, and who. unless they
are exposed, will deceive the elect-Charlottes-

There was no need of this line of street rail-

Its tracks paralleled the tracks of the old com

The people who put their money into the road

Every city should protect Its public service

make them give such a service at the lowest

than competition to make a public service

Too Good Fortune.
Fortune may smile too much, on nations as on
men. If the Turk had not COLLAPSED so COM
pletely, the Balkan allies would not now be at
swords points among themselves. All the lit
tie nations won honors in the war, and now
they are threatening to raise trouble over the
division OF the spoils. Montenegro has already
had to surrender most of her profits by the
war, and her bitterness found expression even
at the signing Of the peace treaty. Bulgaria,
Greece and Servia have still to arrange their
own accounts, and 1t is an open question whether
the league of the great powers stands for any
thing but selfishness this is the time for it to
prove that 1t has good excuse for existence. The
powers should restrain the foolish, jealous little
nations that would quarrel at the conclusion
of a war which they won only by union.

The Musical.

The musical and expression recital,
bv Mrs E. B. Roof, and Misses May
Lois Boozer and Carrie Ruth Etird,
last Friday evening in the auditorium
of the Lexington High School, was
one of the1most enjoyable affairs
brought off here in long time. Not
withstanding the inclemency OF the
weather, the audience was quite large
and very appreciative. Both Mrs.
Roof and Miss Boozer were at their
best while Miss Efrd surpassed even
herself. Her recital Of Jean Val Jean
and the Bishop could not possibly be
surpassed by a professional. 1t was
delivered With a pathos that brought
tears to the eyes Of many of her hear
ers. After the exercises were over
the audience was served with delicious
refreshments, and the enjoyment of
the evening came to all end with an
old time cake walk to the immense
pleasure of participants and onlookers.
