Most of these institutions “are con- ducted under the auspices”of the Catholic Church,and in some of them a recent investigation found shocking conditions:But what chiefly interest- ed the mayor,and what has led to the latest explosion,is the fact that a de-| termined effort was made to,head off| the investigation,and,according to} the mayor,still greater exertions | were employed to hamper it in its, work.The investigators finally ap-| péaled to the police department-for| help,and the police did help—too ef-| |fectually,it seems.For a grand ju-||ry indicted the city commissioner of| |charities,who was pushing the inves- |tigation,and his counsel on a charge | of wire-tapping.| |Then the mayor |own words,determined to “rip things |wide open.”He went before the in- |vestigation committee and charged ithree clergymen of the Catholic: {Church with perjury,criminal libel, |subordination to perjury,and ob-! |structing the administration of jus-‘tice.He started to read to the com-/| /mittece conversations heard over||these men’s telephone wires which,| ihe said,supported the ©accusations,| ‘but the committee in a panic ad- journed,as that was the only way to hush him up.Nevertheless,he got in-| to the record the charge that Father, |Farrell,a priest,had paid $50 to get: a witness away,and that Monsignor Dunn,chancellor of the archdiocese of New York,had offered $100 to get another away.Then the meeting| broke up in confusion and the mayor had to stop. What makes it more interesting is| the fact that the mayoy is himself a. Catholic,and it is his own spiritual |fathers that he is trying to send to the penitentiary.But John Purroy Mitchel is mayor of New York first, and Churchman:afterward;and he sWore on the stand at the hearing that as long as he is mayor in that ;city the Church is not going to lay jits hand ‘on the altar of the State” lany more than the State lays its hand{on the altar of the Church. blew up—in his| | ‘Conflicting Claims For Daught- ridge and Bickett. guicut.Gov.Daughtridge’s cam-| |paign:managers issued”a statement| ‘Tuesday in which they claim that 4Gov.Daughtridge will carry every congressional district in the State in the Democratic primaries tomorrow and will carry 71 of the 100 counties.

Matheson and J.A.Steele of Moores- vile.It has been the custom for one |Representative to come from ‘the ,lower end of the county and one fror~| \‘SlLatesville or some other section of the county.Having this in mind,the '‘@@unty board of elections and the three candidates agreed that Messrs. Matheson and Steele,being from the ime community,were opposing can- ;Mrtzs,that as no other candidate ared Mr.Grier was without op- 1erlfon and his name need not ap- mr on theballot.At the election) Seturday,therefore,the voter could Fiat for only one candidate for the ,bepislature—either Matheson.orSteéle—Mr.Grier being already yominated by the agreement afore- said.= ‘While this agreement was an un- derstanding between the candidates, satictioned by.the election board,a good many sovereigns registered a sotest.They held that inasmuch as there were three candidates for tie Législdture and the county has two _members,it was the privilege of the vater to say which two of the three heywanted;that-the voter had a right rollinke the selection and that when |and:-moral defectives—-and-a state- H}printing it today and the reader will cess in the race for Governor. MORAL INFERIORS. An eminent New York physician, discussing the Waite case,has made an_interesting.statement of mental ment in language that the layman can understand.The Landmark is find it worthy of consideration. Dr.Waite,a ‘dentist who has been convicted 6f poisoning his-father-in- law,while apparently a gentleman of superior mental qualifications,fine manners-and-with-other....attainments |_ that made him popular with those who didn’t know his inner life,which he kept largely concealed,was shown to be a -moral monster.The physi- cian says that such characters .are common.and most.of us have known the type.They are intellectually bright and likable but incorrigible, their personalities frequently veiling their viciousness.They are iiars, thieves.and.murderers;-shame-and disgrace have no effect on them: They can only be moved by fear of physical pain.Such persons are usu- ally held to be insane.This physi- cian holds,however,that they are neither legally nor medically insane; that they know perfectly well the na- ture of their acts and know the acts are wrong by the general standard— to which we must all conform,This being so they are,hy contends,moral inferiors who should be held to ac- count for violating the law.Instead of being pitied and excused they should be punished;in no other way can the welfare of society be safe- guarded.. While this may not be a new view, it is a refreshing one and one that should be:considered.When a_boy seems naturally bent .on evil,when rothing.seemingly restrains his evil tendencies,there is often a disposi- tion to pity him and to say he can’t help-it—that-he-is-mentally defective. What he needs is not pity but pun- ishment—or restraint that will pre- vent him injuring others.So long as he knows what he is doing he is re- sponsible. MR.BICKETT. “Our folks just naturally take to a good talker,”says the Greensboro News,referring to Mr.Bickett’s suc- They thé county board of elections,even by agtcement of the candidates,under-| took’'to do”the selecting,it had ex-' ceeded its authority and denied the voter his rights.Some voters insist-| ed on voting for both candidates on the;ballot—and probably some did—| ‘although it was stated that such bal-| |lati?probably would not be counted. ‘While The Landmark doesn’t think| |thelarrangement agreed on worked |any.harm—for had all three names| bebh on the list Mr.Grier would un-| ’dofbtedly have been chosen,the con-| \test being really between the other| twie—it questions anybody’s right to| make such an arrangement in the ab-! vale of legal sanction,which the law| ;dogs not apparentlly give.Whilehold-| j ingithis opinion at the time the agree-| niegt was made,The Landmark did-: |n’&-say anything about it because it, i did not suppose there would be any/| i great objection to it or that the ar-| j rangement would work any harm., There were so manyprotests‘Satur-| |day,however,that it seems the part! 'of wisdom to call attention to this precedent,which may cause trouble if.any attempt is again made to fol-| low it.As there is no Yaw requiine _candidates to come from different lo- __:talities,of course no one except the| voter has a right to pair them off. Thé ¥cters can take all the _candi-| j dates from one locality if they wish.| The pairing proceess,if continued,| |could also be applied to the county comissioners.and members of the board of education,all of which,as! some of the voters contend,would be | a-considerable step toward —taking |from the voter his right to make his ewn-selection.ee { | | || Mr,.Brandeis,.the new Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court,may not be as conservative as,the:model judge,but The Landmark|inclines to the belief that his going ;on the Supreme Court bench will be}helpfal for our highest court.If he‘isa little extreme,association with|the.other.conservative judges will tend to.curb him;and ‘it is possible, let us hope,that tneir association with him may give them another ‘out- look—or rather,enlarge the outlook they have.It is possible for one to be too conservative,and if Mr.Bran- deis can inject a little fresh air and »modern thought into some of the musty and cobweb-covered records of' ;the court of last resort,he will have i done the country a service. }Miss Belle Piver died at her homeinBeaufortfromtheeffectsofburns|Suapained from a stroke of lightning.'*She was teaching school in Carteretcountywhenthehousein.which she|boarded was struck by lightning.,The Surry County Progress edition do.But it would be an error to sup- THE CHAUTAUQU gentlemen,to the Chautauqua.|The Chautauqua isan event}:whieh Statesville:does well to es ‘It is entertaining and helpful.It brings! to us some of the great lecturers and entertainers at prices within reach of all.It is to the credit of our people that we have so”loyally supported this undertaking:hereto- fore and this year should not be an exception.!

The House bill providing for recla-mation by the government of 2,300,- 000 acres of Oregon land granted'the Oregon and California railroad,has valued at $30,000,000,are alleged’tohavebeenforfeitedbyviolations,of the terms of the grant,which requir- ed their sale to séttlers at $2.50 “anacre.Amendments wete adopted to pro-vide that 80 per cent.of the proceeds of re-sale should go to the State.ofOregon,10 per cent.to the reclama. tion fund for use in Oregon and~10percent.to the Federal government.The House bill.provided that 50 per cent.should go to Oregon for the use of the.roads and schools,10 per cent.to the Federal ‘government and 40 per cent.'to the general reclamation fund.‘ The lands were granted the—rail=road in 1866,with the restrictionsthattheymustbesoldtoactualset-tlers in not greater than 160-acre tracts and for not more than $2.50 anacre.Charges that the railroad hadsoldpartofthelandsinlargelotsto lumber interests at higher rates andlaterhadwithdrawnthementirely from sale were not disputed in ‘the debate.

It was Bickett’s ability and the ev- idence that he has ideas and a pur- pose to do something tor the benefit of his State,combined with his unu- sual ability as a talker—the capacity to present the ideas in charming language—that gave him strength with the people.His opponent,Mr. Daughtridge,is an estimable gentle- man,a man of ability and a man of affairs and would have made a good jat Lumberton.

The managers of Mr.Daught- ridge’s campaign for Governor es- tablished a reputation for big claims early in the campaign and they kept on making claims even after the votes were counted.On the day of the primary telegrams were sent over the State—saying—that Mr. Daughtridge was carrying various counties by big majorities—claiming counties,by the way,that were vot- ing for Mr.Bickett.Making claims that have no foundation in fact rath- er hurt than help.Mr.Daughtridge seems not to have been fortunate jin the selection of managers. The defeat of Mr.J:A.Hartness for Secretary of State was a surprise and disappointment to his friends in his home county,who had an abiding faith that he would be successful.He made a game fight but it seems that the voters did not take to the idea of changing the present State officers,as all of them whohac opposition ap- pear to have won.

They Are Not Insane and Their Conduct Can’t Be Excused— An Interesting Analysis of What is and What is Not In- sanity and.the Responsibility of Defectives. E.M.RB.a Well-Known Physician,in.ew York’Times.” In ‘view of ‘the widespread interest in the trial of Arthur Waite it-maynotbeamisstoofferageneral€x- planation,in terms not too abstruse for the average man,of the problem of constitutional inferiority.The expression,of course,is self- explanttory;it describes a person in any way inferior in character to the | general average of mankind._These | character defects,«about which s0|much is written,in language so.pro-| found,are really.very simple in type,|although theii detection may require’ expert.analysis.| There are three |general sorts:of| character defect:Intellectual,emo-|tional and moral,The first is simply feeble-mindedness.Persons of.theseconddefecttypemaybeofnormal intellect,but are unstable,excitable, poorly controlled;often they are over- sensitive,overscrupulous,inclined to worry.Those who show only moral defects are of normal intelligence and of good emotioffa]balanee,but are without conscience.Of course all three types of defect may exist in the same person,or two {types may be combined.However, there-are_many_individuals who show clearly one type of defect and are otherwise normal.:.These inferior persons are peculiar- ly-apt to become insane,but to pro- duce insanity some emotional defect, some lack of stability,must be pres- ent.Imbeciles who are not excitable, moral inferiors without stability,do not.become insane.The insanities of such persons,moreover,are of fairly! definite ‘type;they are acute,usually with much excitement and with irri- tabitity and anti-social tendencies, and they are transitory and disappear within a few weeks or months. Moral inferiority,which has beenmisleadinglycalled“moral insanity” and “moral imbecility,”is a’well-ree-ognized condition.and one frequentlyencountered.Such individuals may.be| of good intelligence and of pleasing| Aare liars,thieves,criminals;they lack| :|others which we call morality or eth-| jical sense.

The concensus of present-day psychi- atric opinion is that such persons are sane,and thev are discharmed from insane hospitals,if admitted,as un- suitable. For-such s man_as Arthur Waite, then,if he shall receive his deserts, there is no place but the electric chair,and a very good nlace it is.-If the purpose of criminal laws is tovrotectthecommunityapersonwho has committed murder and who can never be expected to change his char- acter.who may commit another mur- der at anv opportunity,even in con- finement,is best finally disposed ‘of.

It all took just two hours.and in its lack of demonstration or out-, bursts of any kind and its strict at- tention to business,was reminiscent. of the Philadelphia convention of 1900 that nominated McKinley and Roose-. velt. For one hour and 20:mifites Sena- tor Harding,the temporary chairman, delivered ai carefelly prepared | speech,punctuated in.the telling points with brief pericds of handclap-! ping and applause,but at no time did, a demonstration occupy more than ahalf-minute.The address was an ar-| raignment of the Deinocratic adminis- tration’s foreign.policies as vacillat- ing and a.plea for a re-united party.| Senator Harding declared that the country was wearied by “a disap-| pointing and distressirg Democratic administration.”Ji had snoken,he said,in the conduc?of its foreign af-| fairs,“with more rhetérie than reso- lution.”He asserted that the Mexi- ean negotiations ecnstitute the great-! est fiasco in the histery of American foreign relations.“he Republican's party in 1912 split over methods of, party procedure and freferred person-=, alities and’these differences should, be forgotten,”he said.“Republican principles are in a vast majority in this country.This is not the time for recrimination;it is the day of recoh- secration.I do not believe there is a really reactionary decelerate.bearing credentials to this convention,Nopartycan.endure.whicl.is.not /pro-gressive.” Senator Lodge of Mussachusetts is chairman of the platform committee] and Marion Butler.is the North Caro- lina member of the eummittee.J.D. Parker is the North Carolina member of the credentials committee,Frank Linney is chairman of the North Car- olina delegation and John M.More- head is national committeeman. The following js frcm the Greens- boro News’representitive-at._Chica-go: “Marion Butler,who appears to be in control of a majority of the North Carolina delegates,declared tonight that the éonyention covld either nom- inate Col.Roosevelt o¢«take Woodrow Wilson for another four years’term as President. “*You may quote me as saying,’ said-the former Senator,‘that-one thing is certain,the Republicans as- sembled here to nominate a presiden- tial candidate have but two alterna- tives:nominate Theodore Roosevelt on the regular Republican «ticket,or for anotherryfouryearsasPresident. The Way It Looked at Chicago the Opening Day. This is the way it looked at Chicago the day the convention met: More political leaders:are predict- ing the nomination of Justicé Charles Evans Hughes tonight than at any time since the Republican national convention began to assemble.They declare ‘that unless the accumulation of overwhelming circumstantial evi- dence fails to refléct the situation in its true light,the nomination of the Justice will come even sooner than,has been predicted.The men who take this view are practical _politicians whose estimates are based on carefulcanvassofthedelegates.. The situation is illustrated best.by the»fact that confercaces.betweenleaderstodiscusstheavailabilityofdifferentcandidatespracticallyhave ceased,indicating their belief that a majority of the deferates already tice Hughes. Four days of constant and persist-ent effort to bring the two parties together,in which the personality of the nominee was subordinate to har- mony,failed to bring the results de- sired and the trend from the outset was definitely toward the nomination ofr Justice Hughes. Hnd Colonel Roosevelt announcgd during this period that he would nor] Support the Justice the leaders were prepared to turn to sny one of the regular Republican candidates.The colonel remained silent,however,and because the managers of other can- didacies had fostered the Hughesboomforthe’purpose’of eliminating Roosevelt as a possibility,it grew prodigiously,and even a combination of the favorite sons strength waspowerlesstocheckit, Mooresville Enterprise:Mr.C.EBeaverofAmitylostafinemuleWednesday.A small Jersey.bull broke through the ‘stable and gofed themuleinfourplaces,the lacerations being so’bad the mule had to be killed.

Great Demonstratien.For the Colonel Marks Opening of Na- tional Progressive Conven- tion. With a tumultuous demonstration for,Theodore Roosevelt,the Progres- sive national econve:ifon opened in Chicago Wednesday.Mnthusiasm for Roosevelt was precipitated when Ray- mond Robins .of Chicago,temporary chairman,referred to him as .the“foremost citizen'.of the world.” During the*enthusiastie outburst;there was every indication’that the Progressive party leaders had the con- vention in control and that no nomi- fnation for the presidency would be attempted’until conferences,alreadybegunwithRepublicanjeaders,hadbeenconsummated, The convention was called to order j by Victor Murdock of Kansas,chair- man of the Progressive national com- mittee.When Raymond Robins he-|gan his address the cunvention seem- ed to be waiting for a sjgnal.It got it when the chairman referred to Roosevelt as “the foremost citizen of the:world”and the demonstration follawed.Banners and__stanchions were carried about the hall by enthu- siastic delegates and at 2.15 p.m.,an hour after the-Republican’national convention had a oueied,the officers of the convention still were waiting for the Roosevelt acclaim to subside At the end of an hour George W Perkins left the hall and went to his ‘hotel,Prior to his departure the question of recéssing the convention was discussed,but it found much op- position...‘Let them.yell,”one lead- er said.“Now that they have had a ‘chance to shout they will be more easily induced to delay.action on a nomination.”The demonstration con- tinued for a long time im the hall and was coneluded with a parade on the street.; Zeb V.Walser of Lexington is the North Carolina member of the com- ‘mittee on resolutions of the Progres. sive convention and J,N.Williamson of Burlington is the nacional commit- _teeman. The Progressive Platform. National preparedness “in’spirit, arms and industry,”1s the dominant theme of the Progressive party’s plat- form,of which a teniative draft was completed Wednesday night by the resolutions committee.It breaks the record for brev&ty and consists of a broad statement of.conditions.facingandremediesneededbythenation rather than the usuat formidable.ar- ray of separate planks.

It is rare that there is a commit- tee meeting,a board meeting or any other sort of meeting in Statesville, at which all the people whose business it is.to.attend are on time.Those who are prompt go on time;others lag along anywhere from15 ‘minutes to an hour late;and others who are expected don’t go at all and are not considerate enough to give notice that they won’t be there.The result is that the people who go early not only lose valuable time but they are an- neyed by those who wantonly waste their time.Did you ever reflect how inexcusable it is and how serious a matter it is to keep people waiting when you have made an engagement?

Speaking before -..the _Jefferson County Bar Association at Water- town,N.Y.,a few days ago,Secreta- ry of State Lansing went,after the ‘critics of the administration's foreign policy who would have it do “more than has been done in the negotiations arising from the war,and replied to those who complain the United States has‘been more vigorous in its deal- ings with Germany than with Great Britain.i “The violation of<-the=-natural rights of life is a much more serious offence against an individual and against his,nation,”.said Secretary Lansing,“that the violation of the legal right of property.Can you doubt for a moment which one gives this.government the greatest con- cern?”i That there was an influence in America and:even in Congress which put right of property and right of life on a par,Secretary Lansing de- clared,showed that the “great heart of the republic is threatened with fat- ty degeneracy through those who have lost their patriotic vigor;that many Americans have become lovers of ease rather than lovers of nation- al honor.” “The great war has caused so many conditions,which are entirely new, and presented so many questions which were never before;raised or even thought of,that it”has been no easy task to meet and answer them. “The peoples and,governments at war are blinded by |opinions are unavoidably biased;their |eonduct frequently influenced by hys- |terical impulses,which approach to madness.Patience and forbearance |dre essential to a neutral in dealing |with such nations.In a nutshell the wwewto..delay them while you go on with |situation of our relations with Great i i4 i fliA ‘f|a your work,or idle away the time,is a very serious offence?If at the last mament one finds that he is unavoid- ably detained from an engagement—| and having made one the excuse for breaking it should be very valid— common courtesy would suggest .a notification,so that others will not be delayed.: All this lagging the habit—and that is no excuse.Some- .times people who are accustomed to meet engagements promptly do so a few titfies only to find they have to wait,and thereafter they wait,too. They think nobody will be there ear- ly.Mr.Gilbert says our folks are on time at nothing save at church.What "he means is that-the church service is the only meeting that starts on tine,’for by no means all the folks go to church on time.It is rare that a public meeting of any kind in -Statesville starts on time.Usually there is a delay of 15 to 20 minutes. Those who run the meeting usually say they are waiting on the folks to come. so because they know the meeting won’t start on time and they don’t want to have to wait.Meantime those is “who go,.on time have their patience “worn out waiting on the laggards. Mr.Gilbert says we are teaching our children bad habits;.they don’t think they have to go anywhere on time.True.The children in the pub- lic_schools are encouraged to be punc- tual—which is most commendable and it is a pleasure to see how many of them pride themselves on punctuality in school—but part of that lesson is lost,nearly every time there is a pub- lic entertainment at the school,for that usually begins 15 to 20 minutes late;.and the balance of the lesson is ~lost by the example of parents who: are never on time. Men and brethren,and sisters,too. ‘‘let’s stop this nonsense,this annoy- ance—in_some —cases outrage, When ‘an hour is set for a meeting to begin,start it on the minute,and take the pains to let those who come in late know that they are guilty of discourtesy;shut the coors and make them wait outside for a proper in- terval,if it’s a pay performance.If the public knew that every meeting would begin on the minute the great majority would soon acquire the hab- it of going on time.A_few poor | an result of| Britain and Germany,the two powers with which we have had our principal |controversies,is this:|“Germany,having developed the submarine as an.offensive engine of destruction,asserts that she cannot, on account of the resulting conditions. ;conform to the established rules of |naval warfare,and we should not, therefore,insist on strict compliance. “On the other hand,Great Britain declares that,on account of the new conditions resulting from submarine aetivity and the use of mines and from the geographical position of Germany,she cannot conform to the established rules of blockade and contraband,and we should:not there- fore hold her to strict compliance with those rules.“Both governments have adopted the same arguments based primarily on military necessity and offer the same excuses for their illegal acts, but neither will admit that the other is in any way justified for its con- duct.If we admit that the argu- ments advanced are sound—and IT am sure no one will deny that they are |more or less reasonable—and submit |to changes in the rules of naval war- \fare,we will be without any standard lof neutral rights. }Must Hold Firmly to Neutral Rights. |‘The only alternative.therefore,is Some of those who go late do|for this government to hold firmly to} j those neutral rights which interna- |tional law has clearly defined and to |insist vigorously on their observance |by all belligerents.In not the slight- |est degree can the settled rules be ested consent to the modifications. “It is true that the rights violated SAGWOIAD 10 eRe TCS,| Secretary Lansing Talks About passion;their | modified unless all the parties inter-| are ot influenced solely By considerations or personal amb I often.wonder what the critics do if they had the respon ity.

The Republican Ticket Named“at Chicago Saturday, c ow ;mi VOL.XLII. Charles Evans Hughes,formet Gov- ernor of New York,and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,forPresident.“Charles Wurren Fairbanks of Indi-ana,elected Vice President with.The-odore Roosevelt in 1904,again waschosenforsecondplace.These..were.the nominations’madebytheRepublicannationalconventioninChicagoSaturday.Both nomina- tions were made by overwhelmingmajoritiesonthefirstballotof.theday—the third ballot:of the conven- tion for the presidency. At the same!time the Progressive convention nominated Col.Theodore Roosevelt for President and John M, Parker of Louisiana for Vice Presi-dent.Col.Roosevelt declined for the etime.That story is told in another column. Before the balloting was begun intheRepublicanconventionSaturday morning Senator Smoot of Utah an-],nounced the report of the latest meet-ing of the Republican conferees with the conferees of the Progressive con- vention,disclosing that the Republi- cans had presented the name of.Mr. Hughes for consideration as a candi-date on whom.both conventions couldunite.Hie also read the reply of the Progressive conferees,which was merely an acknowledgement of re- ceipt of the proposal,Then he read Colonel Roosevelt’s telegram to theProgressiveconvention,suggesting Senator Lodge of Massachusetts as a compromise candidate for both con-ventions.Before he had finished read- ing word came and was announced in the Colisium that the Progressive convention itself not only had tabledtheRepublicanproposalofMr. Hughes,but had tabled Colonel Roosevelt’s own ‘proposal of Senator Lodge as well. No one in the Republican conven- tion really expected Colonel Roose- velt’s compromise to be accepted, neither did they feel the Progressives. would accept -Hughes.There was a gallery demonstration at the an- nouncement of Colonel Roosevelt's proposition,but the delesate section, by its silence,plainly showed its.in-difference and if any of the Republi- can managers entertained the leastfearofastampedeteColonelRoose-velt,it was dissipated by every out- ward indication that akout the only “message from Colonel Roosevelt thatcouldhavearousedthedelegatesto enthusiasm would have been his ac- ceptance of Hughes. Nearly Solid Vote For Hughes. When the roll call began in the Republican convention the withdraw- al of the favorite sons was announc-ed one after anothey,and the votes began flopping into the Hughes col- umn in solid blocks so rapidly that the nomination plainly was assured before the roll ‘call had gone five States.When it got to Colorado the drift was so apparent that a propos- al to make it unanimous was made,but Chairman Harding ruled that the balloting should take its regular course.Each addition to the Hughes column was greeted by yells of exul- tation from the rapidly accumulat- ing Hughes delegates and __steadily State by State the votes piled up un; til New Jersey carried it past the required 494 and the remainder was only a formality.. The result of the ballot follows:Hughes 949 1-2;Roosevelt 18 1-2;Lodge 7;Du Pont 5;Weeks 8:LaFollette3:absent 1.Total 987. The analysis of the nominating bal- lot showed that Hughes had®drawn his votes from every State and Ter- ritory;that Roosevelt’s were scat- tered over 12 States;that Du Pont’s five had come from.South Carolina, Lodge’s seven from North Carolina and the three for Weeks from Mas- sachusetts and Missouri.On the last ballot North Carolina voted seven for Lodge,14 for Hughes.Butler and nearly all who were for Roosevelt originally voted for Lodge as the compromise suggested by Roosevelt. Fairbanks For Vice President. Although Hitchcock;the Hughes manager,let it be known that the Hughes men wanted Burton for sec- ond place,Ohio withdrew Burton’s was as name,leaving the field to Mr.Fair-!Senator Burkett |banks and former of Nebraska.The ballot forPresidentshowedthiscount: Vice Fairbanks 863;Burkett 108;Borah)that in each branch of the service,8;Burton 1;Johnson 1;absent,scat- tering and not voting 6.Total 987. The North Carolina 'ddlegation gave Fairbanks 19 votes and Burkett The convention adjourned at 2.01 p.m.Saturday.When it nominated Mr.Hughes it had no word that hewouldacceptandnostatementofhis position.One came soon afterward hut.not.until the convention had ad- journed.

During the pre-convention cam-paign Mr.Justice Hughes,so far as the public record shows,said not awordand:did nothing to further his interests for the Republican.presi- dential nomination.Instead;in notes to friends and in the few.answers he made to inquiries,he gave every inti-mation that he was not a candidate. This silence was preserved until he was told of his nomination at his home in Washington Saturday..HeimmediatelyresignedasJusticeof the Supreme Court.His note to the President and the latter’s answer follow: “To the President: “T hereby resign the office of As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.I am, “Respectfully yours, “CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.” .The President replied:~ “Dear Mr.Justice Hughes: “I am in receipt of your letter of resignation and feel constrained to yield to your desire.I therefore ac- cept your resignation as Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,to take effect at once. “Sincerely yours,ae “WOODROW WILSON.” Justice Hughes’Acceptance.

Roosevelt,the convention reassem+bled .and nominated John M.Parker of louisiana for Vice President, Parker.was .present and accepted. Then came Roosevelt’s tentative dec-lination.; Roosevelt's Tentative Declination. When notified that the Progressive convention had nominated him for the presidency,Col.Roosevelt:sent the following: “To the Progressive Convention: “Tam very grateful for the hon- or you confer upon me by nominat- ing me as President.I cannot ae- cept it at this time.I do not know the attitude of the candidates of the Republican party toward the vital questions of the day.Therefore,if you desire an immediate decision,I must decline the nomination.But,if you prefer it,I suggest that my con- ditional refusal to run be placed in the hands of the Progressive nation- al committee.If Mr.Hughes’state- ments,when he makes them,shall satisfy the committee that it is for the interest of the gountry that he be elected,they can act accordingly and treat my refusal as definitely ac- cepted.If they are not satisfied, they can so notify the Progressive party and at the same time they can confer with me and then determine on whatever action we:may.deem ap- propriate to meet the needs of the country. “THEO.ROOSEVELT. “Oyster Bay,N.Y.,June 10,1916.” In profound calm the brief message from Oyster Bay was.quickly read. The proposal to have the national committee decide the question —in- volved met bitter silence.At the conclusion there was a burst of ap- plause:-The Progressive —national committee was authorized to fill any vacancies that may occur on_the ticket and the convention adjourn- ed at 4.58,with many of the dele- gates much dissatisfied by the action of Col.Roosevelt.The meeting of the Progressive national committee will be held in Chicago June 25.Just before adjournment.campaign con- tributions were called for and there was a liberal response:One dele- gate pledged $10,000,a lady announc- ed a similar gift,thes New Jersey delegation pledged $20,000 and there were individual contributions of $5,- 600. At Oyster .Bay. At Oyster Bay Col.Roosevelt,as a last word to.newspaper corres- pondents,told what he had telegraph- ed the Progressive convention.When Htghes’statement appeared he was asked for an expression and replied. “Not a word—not a word about any- thing.”He said he would probably make no further statement until af- ter the mecting of the Progressive committee._To a photographer who wanted a picture the colonel said: “No picture.I am out of politics”: and since he has reiterated—the state- ment——“I am out of:polities.” Alleghany Votes More Railroad :Bonds. t an election held Saturday Alle- ghany céunty voted $60,000 of bonds for the extension of the railroad from Elkin to Sparta.The line isjnowbeingbuiltandAlleghanyhad previously voted $40,000 for that pur- pose.The additional $60,000 is to complete the construction of the road. Mr.A.S.Carson of Statesville, whose home is in Alleghany,went home last week to vote for the bonds and help in the campaign.He-re- turned Sunday night with the elec- tion figures,which show that the vote for the bonds was 824 fo 301.

A TUBERCULAR HOSPITAL. Dr;Carpenter Suggests’Caring For Tubercular Patients ar the County Home. Dr.F.A,Carpenter is talking the establishment.of —-a tubercular _hos-pital for the county and the matter will probably be put up to the coun- ty--commissioners. The need of a place for the treat- ment of tubercular cases is obvious.i Many of .these.people-have-not the ;means to go.to the State tubercular |hospital,where the minimum cost.is is always full to overflowing.Few,if any,can be pronerly treated in.their homes because they cannot be induc- ed to follow the directions. The solution of the problem sug- rested are the infirmary buildings, for white and colored at the County Home.The buildings are there and the cost of equipment for the care of tubercular patients would be very small,All a tubercular —patient needs—-all that can be done to help him—is rest,fresh air and nutricious food—such as eggs,milk and meat. The county farm at the Home could, with the addition probably of a few cows and chickens—supplv the nec- essary diet.Patients could be kevt under discipline-—-required to take the food regularly,to keep in the oven and not to exercise too much. This is impossible in the average home.Tn addition they could be taught how to take care of them- selves and to lessen the danger of infection to others.The cost of maintenance at the County Home.under the circum- stances,would be very small,it is contended.Sometimes the county is asked to bear the exvenses of indi- which is $30 per month per patient. Jt could be arranged to take care of them at the County Home.Dr.Car-| penter believes,at one-third the tost —S10 per month ver patient.Not only is the humane side to be | considered—saving the lives of somewhoaredoomedandhelvlesswithout’ heln:and the economic value in} health;but the educational value—in teaching the vicitms of tuberculosis how to take care of themselves and nrevent danger to others—could hard- ly.be estimated.‘It seems to The Landmark that.the idea is practicable and there is no arrument ahout the need.That*is" vressing and it is one every county and community will have to meet for itself—not only es an act of humani-tv but for “self-protection.Other counties are taking this step.«Sev- eral have made provision for tuber- cular natients and others are consid-| ering it—Rowan ameng these.

Congress,had inserted into the army bill a provis- ion that one of the vacancies in’the _Judge Advocate “General's office shall!9.frered—a—tremendous—defeat,one. be filled by a “person from.civil life

this remarkable provision is to provide a job for Judge Adam C.Car-| son of Virginia,a constituent of Mr.| Hay.The Greensboro News re- marks that if Judge Adam Carson “is worthy the ermine he | accept a place gained by a scurvy po- litical trick.”‘The chances are,how-| ever,that Judge Carson will take| the job,He probably knew how it| was being provided.

When the applause had spent itself Senator Lodge smiled and read—“but recognizes the right of each State to settle this question for itself.”And then the other side shouted.The fe- male suffrage advocates got nowhere at Chicago.at President Wilson,expressed long apo, and the old-time Democratic position generally—that suffrage ©qualifica- tions are matters entirely for and not national regulation.——— We're afraid that not all the dele- gates to the Progressive convention at Chicago were “Christian soldiers,” even if they did “do battle for the Lord”with Col...Roosevelt at Arma- geddon four years ago.It is told in the press reports that when a prop- osition was before the convention Thursday,to appoint a committee to confer with ‘the Republicans,one ex- Congressman MacDonald ofMichigan remarked that the only message tosend'to the Republicans was “to tell them to go to (the bad place)and tell them to go as they blanked pleased.”| The chairman properly rebuked Mac- Donald for his language,but theMichiganmanhadgivenevidence that he didn’t look upon the regular Republicans as brethren.

The army of General Techitskyn | alone,operating in the direction of} Czernowitz,Bukowina,the statement} adds,overwhelmed the Austro-Hunga- rians and took 18,000 prisoners.Since the present’offensive was started a week ago-today,-the Russians have taken about 108,000 prisoners and.an immense quantity of supplies, The fighting continues at Verdun | long the western front without material change. A report from Petrograd under ‘date of the 9th says: Five days of furious offensive by the.forces of CSneral Brussiloff has! crumpled their opponents’lines from the Kovel-Sarny railway line to Bu- kowina,driving them back an aver- age of 15 miles.; In the Lutsk sector the Russians appear to have completely broken through,turning the left flank of the Austrian armies and the right flank| of the German forces and capturing | Lutsk,the center of a numbgy of ra-) At sev-| attacking crossed the Ikwa and Styr riv-|have 1 further south they are ap-ers an proaching the Stripa river.| The victories are attributable large-| ly to the avalanche of gunfire which| swept away dozens of lines of entan-| elements and opened the way for the! troops,who swept through in irresist-| ible numbers.In some places the, Russian barrier fire cut off large) Austrian units,which surrendered.; This accounts for the large number, of prisoners officially reported cap-| tured. The operation began in the vicini-| ty of Olyka,where skirmishing has been frequent lately.Both sides ap- peared to have been feeling for a} weak spot in their opponents’line. The Russian advance from this point, which is 25 miles from Lutsk,was ac- complished in two and one-half days.! Military observers regard the opera- tion as an extraordinarily —brilliant) 'achievement and emphasize the able leadership of General Brussiloff,who| conducted the Carpathian campaign and made a_record for prisgners, guns and munitions captured. Lutsk is an important —link, strengthening.the connection between|the ‘southwestern region and the narthern section,and the possession of it by the Russians is regarded as a valuable step toward the recapturing of lost territory.The possession of Lutsk is a direct menace to Lem- berg,upon which place the Austrians now are massing their forces. A further report from Petrograd says:“Wounded Austrian officers assert that the Russian ,attacks againsttheirarmieswéretotally,unexpected.| On the eve of the attack the enemy was celebrating the German victory| in the North Sea with champagne’ and cognac,but the opening of the Russian bombardment ended the fes- tivities. “From tale of how Russians prise an Austrian railway station, with its personnel.Fifteen minutes! later a military train with troops and supplies arrived and all the Aus- trians and supplies were captured.| An hour later trainloads of shells ar-, rived and also fell into the hands of, the Russians.”|—————————| The Senseless ‘“Demonstra-' “tions”at Conventions. New York Times.| To make for 93 minutes noise that is neither cheering nor applause —in any proper sense of those ‘words,but merely an ugly combination of ugly sounds—surely that is worse than a! waste of time for men claiming to! have met to take counsel together on a questién almost as momentous as ever confronts a gathering of repre- sentative citizens.“' These —stupid “demonstrations,” starting though they did as expres- sions of sincere emotion,have so de- generated that now only in rarest in- anything more or better than a sorry pretense that de- ceives nobody.It is common knowl- other sources comes.the seized by sur-) ‘edge that they show nothing except docility to the .orders of |somebody who hopes to beat a convention rec- ord for continuous clatter,and a worse preparation for intelligent :de- bate or considered action could hard- ly be imagined.

The Many Non-Church Mem- bers in North Carouna— Church News. At the meeting of the Women’s Synodical Auxiliary (PYesbyterian) of North Carolina,at Wilmington last week,the officers were re-elected. Among the officers are:Mrs.W,B. Ramsey of Hickory president,Mrs.E.D.Brown of Loray (Iredell)fifth vice president,Mrs.E.F.Reid of Lenoir treasurer,Miss Mamie Mc- Elwee of Statesville secretary of young people’s work and Sunday school extension.A new ‘office was created—secretary of orphanage work —and Mrs.John T.)French of Wil- mington was elected to the position. The next meeting of the auxiliary will be held in Raleigh, Rev.A.W..Crawford of Greens- boro,superintendent of home mis- sions for the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina,presented that cause at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning and at Front Street Presbyterian church Sunday evening Mr.Crawford stressed the fact that according to the statistics gathered from the last available census re- ports,44 per cent of the adult popu- lation of North Carolina is not con- nected with any church;that.in 27 counties 50 per cent of the population has no Church affiliation and in four counties 70 per cent has none.In one county—Edgecombe—one of the most prosperous and most intelligent of the counties in the State,ihe per centage of non-church members is 77 per cent. ™n many sections of other counties in the State,says Mr.Crawford,the ner centage is about the same.-Some £the-e counties have thriving towns -of them prosperous and intelli- nt people.Special emphasis was i}en the fact that ihis large per ‘age of non-church members is by no means confined to the most ignor- ant and poverty-stricken sections,but it is found where the people are pros- perous and where the educational fa- cilities have been highly developed. which means that the Church work is far from keeping step with the mate- rial and educational development of the State—hence the reat necessity of home mission work in North Car- olina.: ects Communion service at Tabor church Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, th_preparatory-services Friday and snturday nights.

Democratic National Conven-tion Planned to WWame Wilson and Marshall Last Night and Adjourn Today. The Democratic convention at St. Louis..._yesterday-changed its~plans ~and.decided to...finish its work.last night by renominating President Wilson and Vice President Marshall.It--was-expected that the nominationwouldbemadelast’night but thatfinaladjournmentwouldnotbetakenuntil-today,when the platform would be adopted.Senator James of Ken-tucky is permanent chairman and his speech was.a feature yesterday. At its first session Wednesday the convention heard the keynote of Americanism and peace,,prepared- ness and prosperity sounded by for- mer Governor Glynn of New York as temporary chairman,and with a high pitch of enthusiasm emphatical- ly registered,by demonstration after demonstration,its approval of Pres- ident Wilson’s peaceful conduct of foreign affairs. The convention,which got under way with such perfunctory demon- strations as.mark every national gathering of the kind,soon stirred itself into roaring cheers as Chair- man Glynn cited historic parallels toshowthatotherPresidents,inelud- ing Republicans,had —adjusted threatening foreign situations with- out resort to war.“The policy of the administration,” he declared,“has been just as Amer- ican as the American flag itself.” As he went down the list of Pres- idents reeounting their action to avoid war,the delegates caught the spirit of his argument and as he re- ferred to each particular President, some delegate would call,“What did he do?” “He settled the trouble by negotia- tion,”was the reply Gov.Glynn in- variably returned,and the convention would roar its approval, William J.Bryan,as a newspaper correspondent in the press _—stand, wept with emotion as Gov.Glynn pictured the victories of-peace,but he laughed with the crowd when a Texas delegate,interrupting,leapedtohischairandcried,“and don’t for- get that policy is also satisfactory to William J.Bryan!”Aside from a 16-minute demonstration which began when Chairman Glynn predicted President Wilson’s re-election,his speech was sprinkled with demonstra- tions which he found it difficult to stem so he could go on.It was plain that the telling-points on the dele- gates were the recital of President Wilson’s efforts to keep the country at peace. “This policy,”he said,“may not satisfy the fire-eater_-and swashbuck- ler,but it does satisfy the mothers of the land,at whose hearth and _fire- side jingoistic war has placed an emp- ty chair.It does satisfy the daugh- ters of this land from whom bluster and brag have sent the loving broth- er.to the dissolution of the grave.It does satisfy the fathers of this land -and the sons of this land who will fight for our flag and die for our flag when reason primes the rifle,when honor draws the sword and when jus- tice breathes a blessing On the stand- _ard they uphold.”The last few_words. were drowned out in a roar of ap- plause that swept the Colisetm. “Repeat it!”cried the delegates, “repeat it!” “All right,be quiet and I'll repeat it,”responded Governor Glynn,and —he_did,-to-applause and cheering. No other President since the Civil War,Gov,Glynn told the convention, had faced such crucial problems, _-none had displayed a grasp of states- manshin more profound. Whether the course the country has pursued during the crucial period is to be continued and whether the principles that have been asserted as our_national policy shall be tindorged or withdrawn,.the speaker told Me tion for the voters to decide.“NoJesserissuemustcloudit,”said he;|(tained.They are willing to compro-“rn unrelated problems must confusei”us Frit.

A charge that foreign-born citi- zens_of the United States are trying to levy political blackmaf!anc to un-dermine the influence of the-nationat government.was made by PresidentWilsonin’a Flag Day speech in-Washington Wednesday.His assertion sounded the keynote ~of, one of the foremost issues on which he will go before the country for re- election,and touched upon a platformdeclaration.,which was submitted -by the ‘administration to the St: Louis convention. The President spoke before a crowd of thousands gathered at the foot of the Washington monument,after he had reviewed,for five hours a great preparedness parade,at the head of which he had marched down Pennsyl- vania avenue.He declared that not since the Civil War had it been test- ed as it now is being tested whether the Stars and Stripes stood for any one united purpose. “There is disloyalty active in the United States and it must be abso- lutely crushed,”declared the Presi- dent,speaking ‘emphatically.okt proceeds from a minority,a very small minority,but a very active and subtle minority. “Tt works underground,but it also shows its ugly head where we canseeit;and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy a species of political blackmail,saying‘do what.we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls.’That is the sort of thing against’which the American nation will turn with a might and triumph of —sentiment which will teach these gentlemen, once for all,that loyalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States.” The President’s words were taken as an open challenge to foreign-born Americans who,he has learned from foreign Janguage newspapers and other sources,are opposing him for re-election.Officials close to him said he was outlining his stand =on what he had determined to make a predominant issue in his campaign. Carrying a large American flag, the President walked from the capi- tol to the White House at the head of more than 50,000 marchers,includ- ing many high government?officials, Civil War veterans,employes of all the government departments and of the local business houses.companies of cadets and National Guardsmen. Union and Confederate Veterans and Sons of Veterans marched close to- gether and were constantly cheered. The Sons of Confederate Veterans, includjng commands from Virginia and Maryland,were grouped with the Southern Society of Washington as the “Sons of the South”and compos- ed a_division of more than 1,000, They included Senators and Repre- sentatives and other men of promi- nence.: The parade started from the capi- tol grounds and as its head passed the White House,the President dropped out and took his place in the review- ing stand, Railroad Operators.and =Em-~ployes-Yet Var Apart.

Sketch of the Republican Nomi- “©nee For President. Charles Evans Hughes was born in Glens Falls,N.Y.,April 11,1862, making him four years younger‘than ex -President Roosevelt and six years younger than President Wilson. His’father was_a-Baptist minister and his mother shaped his early edu- cation with the idea of preparing him-<-for the-ministry..The family moved to Newark,N.J.,when he was a boy and during his young manhood it,settled in New York city.At the ro.of 15 he was graduated from a ew York high school at the head his class,so young that his father ould not permit him -to-enter col- Iege for a year.He was graduated from.Brown University ‘in 1881,one the five Phi Beta Kappa honor men his year,and attended the Colum- bia University law school,holding Bs prize fellowship from 1884 to uy 7, At the beginning of his career Mr. Rughes was an’instructor in Greek athematics at an acddemy in Delhi, ~Y¥.<A chiding remark from the principal of that academy,to the ef- ct that young Hughes would have reer controlling his classes be- cause he had “no more beard than an égg,”is cited in innumerable _bio- raphical records of Mr.Hughes as Having been responsible for the ughes beard,which has:since figur- ed so largely .in political caricatures. *After a short.experience as an ed- ucator,Mr.‘Hughes became a_law@erkintheofficeofStewartL. Woodford,who later was elected Lieutenant Governor of New York, but:his health was undermined by his work and he accepted a chair as pro- fessor of law at Cornell University. Two years later,however,he was back practicing law in New York. The public first heard of Mr. Hughes in 1905 and 1906,when he served,first as counsel for the Ste-} vens legislative committee investi-gating gas companies of New York, and then as counsel for the Arm- strong legislative committee for the investigation of insurance businessintNewYork.In the first investiga-tion Mr.Hughes made a reputation but‘it attracted little attention out- side of New York city.In the insur-!ance ‘investigation he unearthed na- tion-wide scandals and the whole country followed the dramatic Storyichherevealed. Before his investigation was fifished Republican leaders seizedupontherecordwhichhehadmade to:carry their party to victory.He déelined the New York city Republi- can nomination for mayor because he had:not finished the insurance inves- tigation.The next year he was elected |Governor,defeating W.R.Heatst,nominee of both the Demo- crats and the independent league.Mr.Hughes was the only successful Re- publican on the ticket.- “Throughout his administration Governor he was at loggerheads withtheRepublicanadministration.He first urged the passage of the public service commission law,to which theLegislaturepaidlittleattention.He stumped the State for his bill,ar finally the Legislature responded.

Addressing the graduating class at the United States Military,Academy at West Point,N,J,Tuesday,Pres- ident Wilson touched on almost all the~-subjects-—discuss by former Justice Hughes in his telegram ac- cepting the Republican nomination and alluded to Americanism,milita- rism,preparedness,peace,war and other topics of pressing interest, The.President told the graduates that they faced “many extraordinary possibilities,”because no one could tell what the immediate future is go- ing to be,either in the history of this country or the history of the world.It is the present imperative duty of America to be prepared,he said,to see that ~nobody —mars the civilization she has built up,and be- ing’safe itself against interference from outside,he added,“all its force is going to be behind its moral idea and mankind is going to know that when America speaks she means what she says.” Continuing,he said:; “You know that the chief thing that is holding many people back ifrom enthusiasm for what is called |preparedness is the fear of militar- lism.I want to say a word or two to /you young gentlemen about militar- lism.You're not a militarist because !you are military.. |"«Militarism does not consist in the existence of an army,not even in the |existence of a very great army.Mil- litarism is a spirit.It is a point of iview.It is a system.It,is a _pur- pose.The purpose of militarism is to use armies for aggression.The spirit of militarism is the opposite of the civilian spirit—the citizen |spirit.In a country where milita- 'rism prevails,the military man looks !down upon the civilian,regards him jas inferior,thinks of him as intended ‘for his,the military man's support /and use and just so long as America lis America that spirit and point of |view is impossible with us.There is \as yet in this country,so far as I can 3 :wi ge iedisnecessarytostrike,and -‘then strikes to conquer.So myof ncetionofAmericaisaconceptionofin-finite dignity,along ~with quiet,”yn.questionable power.I ask.you,young gentlemen,to join with me ‘in that conception and let us all in our gey.eral spheres be soldiers together to realize At”;commas ne GLOOM FOR’BULL MOOSE.

BUTLER AND THE REPUBLI- CANS.NG*Whether,Marion Butler does or doesnot boss the Republican’party in North Carolina is of»no special concern to The Landmark. to use the North Carolina language, this paper doesn't give a whoop whethey Butler controls the Repub- licats.or whether they control .him, -..Butjas-a chronicler of facts and a re- corder of history it is The Lana- mirk’s duty to set down things as they are,When newspapers —inde- pendent as well as Democratic news- papers —reported that Butler.had dominated the Republican convention in Raleigh,Republicans,with one accord,‘put these newspapers in the Ananias club.Butler.they declared, simply went along with the conven- tion;it would have gone that way had Butte:been dead. 'Out at Chicago last week Con- gréssman Britt,the lone Republican Cofigressman from this State,want-ed 'to be a:member’of-the platform committee.Butler had himself put on,the committee and to all outward appeerance he dominated the delega- tiom at Chicago about as completely ashe did the Raleigh convention— except in one respect:He couldn't sWing the delegation to”Roosevelt, whom he championed.After it was apparent that Hughes was nominat- éd,Butler and the deiegates with him gave Lodge,the Roosevelt com- fromise candidate,the 21 yotes from North Carolina.Butler asserted,acéording to the horo News’representative,that the egiivention could take Rooseyelt or fhe country would fave four years more of,Wilson.We're of the opinion #het Butler’s vision was clear on the er part of the prediction. ‘RIME AND SHARP PRACTICE.%...oeyThey're having:investigation ane at.Durham about-alleged frauds seven of an n the recent primary election.A heok disappeared =and chen it came to light 28 names had foeen —put on it in some mysterious vay.There is talk of prominent sitizens being.involved and arrests tra prosecutions,all.of which will probably come to naught.This cheat- ang at primaries and conventions in ferry contests has become so ommon that it is regarded,by those a engage in it,not only as a priv- flere but a right,Much of the ob- Arcotion to .the primary Iaw comes (rem those who want the privilege o cheat with impunity.The prima- egistration tf law.makes these so-catled snarp ‘practices a crime—such as adding Ipomes to_a registration book or tak- ang thom off,as the occasion may warrant,stuffing the ballot box, ¢heating in the coun:,voting illegal Wolers ,and the like.While many ‘yho..think that all’s fair in.politics, ty.matter how great the fraud,will rot hesitate to take chances with the Gaw,no mattér how severe the penal- fy pronounced—having friends at tourt they expect to get by—never- Atcless it is more desirable to avoid vpleasunt possibilities.So;if the rimary law is repeated any sort of raud may be perpetrated in prima- and convention contests with ab- olute safety,for them the fraud isn’t #crime—ét is sharp practice,simply pf ahead of the other fellow.

Hyphens.-=The _Tribune,however, expressed the emphatic belief.that! tHe people of the United States will| not ratify the bargain;that if tne Republican convention accepted the German -American candidate “Wood- row Wilson will be re-elected.” Well,the Republican convention ac- cepted the man the Tribune charged date.After a few days’silence comes the Tribune: The Tribune will loyally support Charles E.Hughes.From the morn-ing of the Lusitania to the present hour this newspaper has fought for certain principles which it believed to be vital in American life..For many weeks it has advocated the nomination of the American who championed these principles most fearlessly and uncompromisingly. The man has.been defeated,theprinciplesarenotincludedintheRe-publican platform and they will not be found in the statement issued by| Mr,Hughes after nomination.In so};far,then,as these principles are con- cerned,Mr.Hughes and Mr.Wilson stand on the -same ground,as_yet. But the Tribune purposes to support Mr.Hughes because it believes that in all other respects Mr.Hughes is the stronger man and will make a better President.

Brown of Winston-Salem will —per- form the same function for the State in connection with the nomihation for the:vice presidency, At the Baltimore ‘convention Ed-' ward E.Britton of the Raleigh News and Observer was made permanent secretary.As Ollie James,who was chairman of that convention,is to be chairman of the St.Louis convention, the North Carolina delegation unan- imously recommended Mr.Britton for permanent secretary again this year. A steering cammittee was named to present Mr.Britton to the other del- egates,the personel of ‘this comniit- tee.being Walter Murphy of Salis- bury,R.D.Johnson of Warsaw, John A.Parker of Charlotte,T.A. Lyon of Fayetteville and Jerry A. Moore of New Berne.Judge Murphy said he would urge Mr,Britton’s election to the end that the old Balti- more organization be kept intact for the St.Louis ratification meeting. Senator Gore is the lobby favorite of “all favorites.The way he ex- presses the situation is tis: “With the Progressives sniping, Roosevelt operating a Maxim silenc- er,and the Republicans having swal- lowed a Jonah,things ought to look good to the Democrats.” Colonel Bryan is vociferously urg- ine the Democrats to lay their plat- form with the view to catching Pro- eressives.Meantime,Progressive leaders,one after another,are com- ing out for Hughes. Hotel lobbies were enlivened to- night by delegations of Democrats singing campaign songs and bracing themselves against the ccming of the suffragists,who will be on the spot with “demands,”instead of usual re- quests.They wil get just about what the Republicans gave them. The general opinion is that Bryan and the women will give the party mor trouble than Hughes will be able to give it.It has become an admitted fact that the St.Louis convention will be strictly a ratification affair. The Price of Gasoline Must Get ,Lower. Washington Dispatch. A fallin the price of gasoline may be looked for at any time,The price in Kansas at the refineries has al- ready fallen from 21 cents to 17 1-4 cents. A period of.over-production —of; crude oil,which brought about low price of gasoline more than a year, apo.is about to be experienced again.| These are a few of the statements, that startled the Federal Trade Com-mission at the second day of_its hearing of the views of the oil pro-| ducers and jobbers and refiners on the high price of gasoline. ~~Most of the statements along these lines were made by T.J.James.sec-" retary of the Association of Refiners of Kansas and Oklahoma.. It was when he was asked regard-ing the remedy for present conditions that Mr.James stated: “Present conditions will probably’ remedy themselves.The government is to blame for them,so far as Okla- homa is concerned. “The conditions are remedying themselves,The supply and demand is now about equal.But I want.to nredict that a period of over-produc- fion is again facing the oil men. “Within,the last two weeks the nrice af gasoline f.0,b.the refin- eries.has dropped from 21 cents to 171-4 cents.This drop has not vet manifested itself in the price of the jobber or retailer.It must fall more than that.” Too :Much Rain Now—News of Houstonville Community. ,The [Teramark Houstonville,June 13—ft has heen but-a short time since everybody wa: talking the drought-—that the crops were ruined,that there would be no thing made,Now it’s too much rain ——the crops are going to be devoured by grass and weeds.Well,it gloomy just now. “Wheat harvest is on and wheat is food,The straw is short but the 4 is food:Grass and weeds are pet- ting a good start in the corn and eot- ton ‘fields,bot there is a silver lininer that will turn to us some of these davsOurCreatorand“Pieserver ?knows what is best for us.We must be more patient and submissive to Hiswill. _dohn R.Myers was taken to Longe’ Sanatorium last week for an opera tion for appendicitis.J.A.Maiden, Sr.,who has been confined to his room for ‘several weeks,does not improve much, ih.E.Heath of Winston-Salem isvisitinghismotherandstep-father Mrs.and Mr.J M.Mellen.Mr Heath is recuperating from a severe illness, Chas.L.Maiden of Thomasville vis- ited his parents,Mr.and Mrs.J.A.

He was the indicatec and logical can- didate,the only candidate by whose nomination the Republicans would have clearly manifested their aver- sion to Mr.Wilson's policv of peace, their nreference for a policy of war. Mr.Roosevelt’s words,while thev fill the air with the din of many’ exnlosions,leave no distinet impress upon the mind.President Wilson,he says,“has rendered to this pegple the most evil service that can he rendered to a great democracy by its chosen leader,”By not woine to war with four monarchies and one repub- lic?*His words raise no other issue against Mr.Wilson that the mind of the people could grasp.To havé put him before them as a candidate,with loud outerics for war upon his lips. platform denouncing the.ad- ministration for not plunging the country into war,would have put the Revublicans into the campaign with a definable issue. | Fven The candidate they have chosen has ‘of necessity been speechless.He now “T stand for the firm and un- hing maintenance of all the rights of American citizens on land and sea.”Would Mr.Hughes have gone to war about the Lusitania, or would he have maintained unflinch- inelythetrichts of Ameriean—citizens on land and sea,as Mr.Wilson has maintained them,by the peaceful methods -of—diplomaey?—_The —Presi- dent has forced:Germany to ac- knowledge the right of our citizens to travel upon,the seas in safety and withont molestation.Ty Heaven's hame,what more could Mr.Hughes have done,Had we gone to war.

This was the point at.which Gov.Glynn,says the New York Times?re- port;-intended-to—stide-over what he imagined-would be a dull and unin-teresting recital of bare facts.He} started to say so,and ‘instantly the| entire convention,which had beenj hanging on his words with an_.ex-{ pression of.mingled delight and |gmazement at his historic proofs thatitwasreallyonthepatrioticside, rose spontaneously to its feet,shout- ings tempestuously: “No,no!Go on! more,more! of it!” Cites-More Precedents, .He went on to show that in Pierce’sadministrationGreatBritainviolated our neutrality,but that there was no war;that when Van Buren was Pres- ident,Canadians attacked .an Ameri-can ship,killed some.of her crew, and sent her adrift over Niagara Falls,all without war.Each_of these instances was rapturously cheered,as all-the other instances.of.our peacefulness under provication——had. been.Next he came to the historic case in which the British ship Leop- ard fired upon the Chesapeake,killed several of her sailors and took three American citizens off the ships and Give us more,Don’t leave out a word is the case to-which American histo- ries refer as the supreme evidence of American weakness and many of them describe as cowardice,and.Mr, Glynn approached that case with ev- quite sure,how a it|might be,received.It was received |with a great roar of cheers. |“What did we do?’yelled dele- |gates from all over the hall,and itlwastakenup—in—an-exultant,joy- ous chant,“What:did we do?what reference to ;et began to:déal with the historic |dawning -jaboyt it. his speech as temporary chairman of | jand historically un-American to go \as-little-terrified—party. ident misgivirig,as if he were.not| did we do?”|“We didn’t go tq war!”answered Glynn,and there wasanother:roar ofjoy.Men jumped up.ir.their seats |grant certain demands.Officials of thc |and danced about the aislés and wav-/road made the threat verbelly somc like ‘time ago,and though no formal notice|jed American flags,shouting school boys and.screaming like!steam sirens.If Mr.Glynn had any| doubts remaining they all vanished | now.His face wore a smile of con-| tentment,no longer mixed with that| |puzzled exvression it had worn at the | ‘first outburst,and he went on with|confidence to the time-when Franceihad“extended her seizurds,search- ies and confiscations to the very wa-|,ters of the United States them-|Lselves,”and there-was another whoop} ip delight.But that was not all.He beat the applause down with,his | hand to show that —he was not! through,and went on:.| “American ambassadors who; sought to adjust these wrongs were| refused recognition—and—openly in-_ sulted at.the French court.”|“What Did We Do?What Did We | Do?” “What.did-we-do?”*tame the yell: again,and again the chant began,around_the -hall,_-“What-did-we—do?!

Expedition Returns. Having accomplished its object,the dispersing of Mexican bandits who friday night raided Texas ranches and attacked a detachment of the Twenty-sixth Infantry cast of San Benito,Texas,the fourth American punitive expedition to enter Mexico was withdrawn Sunday.There were no American casualties,says a dis- patch from Brownsville,‘Texas. Promises were given by the Car- yanza commander at Matamoros that he.would run.down and punish the outlaws.Two bandits were killed and two wounded in an action with a detachment of.about 16 Mexicans when the Americans began to with- draw.The withdrawn expedition camped at San Pedro,Texas,about 12 miles west of Brownsville,await- ing developments after having,ac- cording to General Parker’s official report,“cleaned out a nest of ban- dits on ranches opposite the San Pe- dro-Ranchito district.”These:ranches imeluded the Tahuachal ranch,about 10 miles west of Matamoros,which is notorious as a bandit haven. Three of the bandits were killed and several wounded. Gen,Ricaut,Mexican commander, had served notice that unless the ex- pedition was withdrawn the Carranza troops would attack.This was ex nected to precipitate trouble,Whilk a statement issued by Gov.funston says the expedition did all it’went into Mexico to-do—=and if was entite- ty proper for it to return—it is fear- ed that its retirement may mis- understood;that a bad —precedent was set and that a clash has only been avoided temporarily,aus other raids on the American side will be sure to follow. attacked as it was jdeaving Mexico and it is believed the attack was led by Carranza soldiers.The Americans yet er h- be replied vigorously and the Mexicans *.oO fled,some being killed and wounded...

Mexican Demand.*An official communication from the Mexican foreign office,announcing the clash between Mexican and American troops at Carrizal and say- ing the de facto government found itdifficulttounderstandwhytheAmer- icans should have been so far away from their base,was delivered to Sec- retary Lansing yesterday by Eliseo Arredondo,the Mexican ambassador designate.Mr.Arrendondo also sought an explanation of the report- ed action of General Pershing in oc- cupying the towns of Casas Grandes and Nuevo Casa Grandes,saying such ap act would be one of open hostility. No explanation was given. “a The First Report,.

The engagemé#t occurred near the town of Carrizal,nine miles south- east of Villa Ahumada,the Mexican field headquarters in northern Chi-huahua. News of the battle was received in Juarez,Mexieo,early Wednesday af- _ternoon by Gen.Francisco Gonzales, Carranza commander~of-the-military zone of the border.For some reason +—General Gonzales kept the story se-cret until late in the afternoon when ~—an-American,-J.-C.Hubble,returning to the border from the—interior, brought to El Paso,Texas,the news that he had seen numbers of Mexi- cans dead along the Mexican Central railroad tracks at Villa Ahumada, and had been told that there had been an encounter. General Gonzales’first step after confirming thé .news was to issue a statement.placing the blame on_the American commander.He charged that the American troops fired on theMexicansandthattheirshotswere directed at.a courier who had just ‘presented to them a_request thatthey-retire.;; The Mexican Story, Gen.Gonzales said his information was transmitted to him from Villa Ahumada -by General Genoveso Ri- vas,who conmmanded the Mexicans.af- ter their leader,General Gomez,wasslain.General Gonzales also gavetheMexicanexplanationofhowthe two forces came in contact.Accord- ing to General Gonzales,he was in- _._formed by General Gomez at Villa~Ahumada Tuesday night of the nres- ence of the Americans westward be- _tweenVilla_Ahumada_-and_El]Valle. He says he immediately instructed General Gomez to proceed to the San- to Domingo ranch,where the Ameri- eans were reported in “unknown force,”and advise their commander to retire to their camp.This,he says,General Gomez did-Wednesdaymorn- ing.The’American commander, whose name was not given bv Gener- al Gome ;said to have replied that he was instructed to proceed to VillaAhumadaandmustdoso.

J.C.Hubble,the 'American told this story,was corroborated by James Maxey,another American, who also was on his way to El.Paso from the interior.Hubble and Maxey said that while their train was stop- pig at Villa Ahumada they noticed numbers of dead and wounded _being brought in ahd.was told by a Carran- za captain that a battle had taken place,The captain—informed__them, they aid,that a number of American prisoners had been locked in a cattle ear and were to be taken to Chihua- hua City to be hanged. “The Mexican officers at Villa Ahu- mada treated us with the greatest courtesy,”said Mr.Hubble..“They answered our questions quietly and with no show of antipathy or excite- mentee “According to the story they told us the Mexican command was con- cealed in the underbrush when it dis- covered the American cavalrymen riding toward them over -the-sand. General Felix Gomez,the Mexican commander,immediately sent a cour- ier asking for a parley under a flag of trnee with the American command- er.The parley was arranged and as the Mexican leader -and two aides started forward the Amepicans sud- denly deployed’in a semi-circular skirmish line.= “Gencral Gomez,apparently believ- ing he was about to be attacked,rais- ed his arm and signaled a machine gun in the rear to open on the Amer- icans.The machine gun swept —the cavalry ranks,causing heavy losses. “Immediately,however,a detach- ment of American troopers dashed forward under heavy fire,to the cen- ter of the field,where General Gomez and his staff were sitting on their horses.In the resultant encounter one of the cavalrymen killed the Mex- ican leader with his.pistol,while the remainder of the Carranza party es-cape to their own lines.” Hubble and Maxey said that some of the Mexicans openly boasted that the Americans had been drawn.into an ambush.

The State convicts have been taken from the Statesville Air @ine Rail-road Company.They.will be sent in a few days to Badin,Stanly county,to work for the Hardaway company, which is building a dam at Badin. That is the news which greeted the stockholders of the company at their annual meeting in Statesville Wed- nesday.To say that the stockhold- ers were not pleased is to put.-it mildly.They feel that they had been badly treated and some of them said so in plain words,while others voiced approval of what was said. The action ordering the removal of the convicts was taken at a_joint mecting of the Governor and Council of State and the State Prison board in Raleigh Tuesday.At the same time the convicts employed on the Elkin and Alleghany road and the Watauga and Yadkin River road (the latter road running from North Wilkesboro into Watauga county) were ordered removed to Badin.“The Statesville road has 54 convicts,’the Elkin and Alleghany 55 and the oth- er road about the same number. The Excuse For It. The only notice given of the in- tended action was a notice to repre- sentatives of these roads that a mat- ter would come before a meeting of the State Prison Board and.Council of State Tuesday in which they were interested.Mr.D.M.Ausley. treasurer and general manager of the Air Line,journeyed to Ral- eigh to see what‘it was about There he and representatives of the other roads found.that-“it was cutanddried.”The removal of the con- victs had already been determined upon and no amount of talk could forestall action,although Mr.Ausley and-the others did the best they could. Only the three State-aided railroad lines are affected.Convicts at work on the State Central highway betweenOldFortandRidgecrest,and on the same road in Madison county,were left alone.The plea for State aid for tnége highways was mainly in behalf of automobile tourists.The railroad men.pointed out that they were de- veloping undeveloped sections of theState;-adding much to the State’s taxable property and wealth;that the State had valuable interest in the way of stock in these lines,and 1|that the State’s interest as well as the interest of the stockholders would be seriously affected by the removal of the-eonvicts:But after-all the con- victs were taken from the railroads and left on the highway;and it is said that State Treasurer Ben Lacy was the only man who voted against the proposition:‘Gov.Craig voted for removal with the understanding that the-eonvicts are to be returned to the railroads December~1st—and the motion-adopted by—the-Gouncit-of State and the Prison Board so pro= vides—but the Air Line railroad folks build little hope on that prom- ise.They believe the convicts are cone-for—good,-but-if they should be returned in six months the Air Lineand.the Elkin and Alleghany aswell—are greatly damaged by thedelay. The-exeuse for the removal was that the Hardaway company is der contract to complete A dam for the Aluminum company at Badin by December 1st;the company can’t get free labor and will lose a large sum of money if the contract isn’t com- The HardawaycompanywillpaytheState$2 per day for the convict labor (the rail- roads are paying $1.75 in stock),the State expects to get about $50,000 by the deal,and the State needs the money.:‘ Blow For the Air Line.

Later Mr.noticeRivesreceived ‘from the Richmond Grain and Provis- ion Co.of Richmond,Va,,that they could fill only part of his order—did- n’t have some of the things he had or- dered.Mr.Rives had given them no order and on investigation found that the company had a check signed R. F.Rives for 8.25,on the First Na- tional Bank.; Next Mr.Rives had acknowledg- ment of.an order given the Progress-ive Farmer-of—Raleigh for advertis- ing which Mr.Rives had not ordered and knew nothing about.The adver- tising had been paid for by a check of the Star Milling Co.of Statesville on the First National Bank for $7.25. Then ¢ame notice from a liquor house in St,Paul;Minn.,explaining that they had his check for $8.90 on the Commercial National Bank but they could not ship such a_large quantity of beer legally..Mr.Rives had ordered no beer. All these mysteries and others sim- ilar have mystified Mr.Rives.An ef- fort is being made to locate*the par- ty engaged in the work.Mr.Rives is of the opinion it is some crank or crazy fellow.In the correspondence Mr.Rives is variously addressed at Statesville,Loray,Jennings and else- where.It is hard to see through the fellow’s game.None of the .checks are being cashed and Mr.Rives is not losing anything,The firms who are filling the not losing their goods for Mr.Rives is refusing’them. So far as he knows,Mr.Rives says he hasn’t 4n enemy in the world and he can’t think an enemy is doing this.

General Carranza is required to place himself on record formally,,and the plain intimation lies behind the restrained language of Mr.Lansing’s communication that force will be met with force.Apparently,however,the Washington government is determin- ed that the de facto government shall not evade responsibility before the world if war is forced upon the Unit- ed States.

They were foreed to stop and Cap- tain Morey,believing wimself hope- lessly wounded,ordered them to leave him.They also thought him about to die from loss of blood and thirst and obeyed. The stories’of the rescued men to Lieutenant...Meyer were.very.vague about the details of the ficht,accord- ing to General Pershing’s report to General Funston.

Dr.S.Parkes Cadman,who was to have spoken at.the-Chautauqua.this evening,has been called to .the front in his capacity as chaplain of the ‘Twenty-third New York regi- ment.In this sudden-emergency the local.association has been fortunate in securing as a substitute the presi- dent of the Chautauqua Association of Pennsylvania,under whose auspi- ces the Statesville assembly is being held—Dr.Paul M.Pearson of Swarth- more College. Dr.Pearson is a great favorite Statesville.He has been for many years one of the strongest men on the lyceum platform.His reputation was made in the West as a reader, of the class of Leland Powers,but of late years he has become known -as an eloquent lecturer.To Statesville he is known-as-the-man-who-achieves impossibilities!He was the first to that the Chautauqua —idea could be carried east of the AHegha- nies.Three years ago he put States- ville-on-the-Chautauqua-map,and it} has stayed there.Because of his sturdy energy and his delightful per- sonality the current number of the Lyceum Magazine calls him “rein- forced concrete coveved with ‘velvet,” Statesville will enjoy the man who is the founder and director of the eastern Chautauquas.It is expected that Dr.Peeracn will give his new lecture,“Who Is Great?” The Fort Dobbs Celebration Off. The Fort Dobbs chapter of the D.A.R.,which had planned a celebra- tion of the Fourth at Fort Dobbs,has been compelled to abandon the cele- bration for several reasons,One reas- on is that adequate preparation could not be made to entertain the,crowd at the Fort and another is that At- torney Generak Bickett,whom it was hoped to secure as the orator of.the day,was unable to come.

Dr.J.L.Caldwell.president of Queen’s College.Charlotte,who lived in Statesville when-a boy,when his father was_president of.Statesville College.was the next speaker and he referred to his boyhood days here. We all belong to the same svtem, said Dr.Caldwell,and one star differs from another star in glory.-States- ville and Charlotte are in_different constellations bit belong to the same svstem.Charlotte had not come to dim the light.of Statesville but to get fresh light and fresh glory.

Mr.P.C.Whitlock of Charlotte,the next speaker,explained that Ed- itor Harris of the Observer,who al- ways championed the interest of the State-aided railroad lines,was absent on a Western trip.If at home he Mr.Whitlock spoke appreciatively of the late J.P.Caldwell and his work. We're pulling for the Piedmont sec- tion,continued Mr,Whitlock,and we ought to make this section as_rich as the valley of the Tigris in Babylon’s greatest glory.Then both Charlotte and Statesville will profit.The doc- trine we preach,he continued,is to buy everything at home you can getafhome.But things Statesville peo-ple can’t get at home they should buy in Charlotte in preference to distantcities, Mr.Whitlock was the last speak- er and when he had_concluded the Charlotte.party hurried to the trainto¢ontinue their journey.

The events of the last three and a half years have shown that as much} cannot be said for Mr.Wilson.In Mr.: Wilson’s case we do not have to con- sider his words,but his deeds.: We owe all of our present trouble with the professional German-Ameri- can element in the United States to Mr.Wilson’s timid and vacillating course during the last two years.* **The same feebleness that was shown by President Wilson in dealing with Germany abroad was also shown by him in dealing with the organiz- ed German outrages within our own! | | ** ‘land,and,finally,in dealing with the| Boyd Within His Rights.- It was both a peaceful and a per- missible mission in which the two troops of the Tenth Gavalry,come) “manded by Captain Charles Boyd, were engaged when they fought Car- Yanza troops at Carrizal on the 22d,according to the view expressed| by officers with Gengral Pershing’s| column,says a dispatch from Per-|shing’s headquarters.

In The Landmark of May 9 it was stated that ‘Irby Moore,”wanted in Surry county on a charge of larceny and default of bond,had been arrest- ed in Bloomfield and returned to Sur- ry.It was further stated that “in Moore’s belt were found three hack saws which it is alleged he stole in Bloomfield.‘The Iredell officers willprobablywant)him later on |this charge and for assaulting Miss Gol- die Day,of the Bloomfield section.” Miss Goldie Day called at The Landmark office Tuesday to say that Moore—whose name,she says,is Herbert,not Irby—did not assault her and that the hack saws were giv- en him by another individual she named;and she wanted Herbert to have the benefit of this statement. Why Miss Goldie didn’t ask for a correction earlier wasn’t exactly but her statement is given now for whatever it may be worth.Miss Goldie let it be known that she felt a friendly interest in “derb.”as she called him.He is still in jail at Dob- son,she says,but he is going to give bend;and she evidently wants to ‘Herb.’s”path of the assault: and hack saw charge against the day| when he gains his liberty.
