In Chicago on Sunday $4,000 persons marched
in a parade under banners inscribed, Personal
Liberty and Home Rule for Chicago" "Fanatical
Frenzy is the Parent of Blue Laws" Sunday is
the Working Mans Day of Recreation" etc. The
parade was organized as protest against Mayor
Thompson's dry Sunday" order. The demon
stration-an altogether unusual one in modern
America-suggests the possibility that the coun-
try is about to witness a general revolt against
over-regulation through the influence of organ
izations and individuals whom the people have not
elected to govern them. Advocates of the recall
of public officials, however, are likely to discover
in the Chicago demonstration an argument in
favor of their brand of remedy.

vHEN the war was over and Mr..
w Madison's eventful second term at
w an end, there had been another
choice Of President which seemed to go
by rule Of thumb rather than by the real
preference OF those who guided affairs
Mr. Monroe received the succession
not because of his persopal force or be-
cause of any gift of leadership discover
able In him. but because. by lonG pubic
service and by intimate association with
the leaders OF his party. he had made his
way into the inner group OF politicians
long since gathered about Mr.. Jefferson.
Virginia. one of the most populous and
influential States of the Union. was the
Republican party's center of gravity. Her
public men. with twenty-five electoral
votes behind them. dominated Republic

His nomination was carried in caucus,
II Is true, only by the narrow margin OF
eleven votes over Mr.. Crawford. OF
Georgia: but. that initial victory won. the
Presidency followed as of course
Mr.. Madison had shown himself a
statesman rather In the framing of in
stitutions and the formulation Of law
than in the government OF events
Mr.. Monroe. without his studious COM
prehension OF principles. stood for at
least a like experience in affairs.
The country. Il seemed, was not yet
ready for younger men. and there was no
party set against him that could defeat

The stata.i isi justly proud that

Vance, Ransom, and Aycock, as
we'll as many other distinguished
sons ,ibut there has never been a
man reared within the confines
of Moth Carolina who was bless

OF ]. P. Caldwell, or was his peer
in native intellect. We all admire
intellectual power, regardless of
who the possessor may be, but
in this instance it wasn't his great
brain that caused the thousands
to worship at his shrine-it was
the man. It has~oft been said
that no man passes but that
there is some one to take his
place. AS q general thing this is
true, and while as great. editors
may come upon the stage of ac-
tion some time in:the distant flu.
ture, no one of this day and gen:
GRAFTON will see Mr.. Caldwell's
personality duplicated. Hemade
no great pretence at devoutness,
still, from q practical standpoint,
he was the very essence of what
the word Christianity means. He
hated.a liar as wellas a thief, but
it would have been impossible for
him to be unnecessarily impolite
to either. His wonderful cordi-
|alitywas as genuine aspure gold,
for IL wasn't self that, concerned
him but rather the we'll being OF

nature would have rebelled at
