And now ccme friends of Breese, the defaulting bank prescient cf 1 Ashejville, and propose, it is said to establish the fact that a prison sentence enforced will kill the nice old gentleman who secured the sig natures cf janitors and cheap skates to sign notes in order that he might loot the Asheyille tank of which he "Was president. It is stated in the dispatches that Secretary of the Navy Dan'els will press the case and. attempt to have the department o! justice release Breese. II is a splendid picture to see a friend steadfast In fair weather and foul weather a grand thing to think that friendship sees no wrorg and imagines nothing too good lor one "Who errs. The case of Bre?se is familiar to every newspaper reader in North Carolina. District Attorney Holtoa made a fight for many years to convict him, and finally succeeded, when it locked like the ends of jus tice were to be defeated. The sen tence is not long, and the question arises: Shall we es:ablish the prec edent to set aside the Peeress of courts cimply because a man's health will not stand Imprisonment? Are we to have it understood that a mac can start a bank and loot it, loot it with cold blooded indif ference take the money of widows and orphans, as Breese del, allow him to use his ill gotten gains to defend himself through, a dozen courts, and finally say to him, you are guilty you are as gu hy as a man can be; you took money of or phaned children; you stole he money of widows and dependent People, but because you are a nice old man, and because your health might fail were you to serve a term or start o seflve it, we will let you go free? That is what makes an archy. That is what makes thej poor devil and the friend of the poor devil rise in h's righteous wrath and cry out that a poor man can no get justice and" that a rich man can defeat the ends of it. Breese should sarve his sentence "TOr a part of it. We' do not' want fcic life or his blood. - But let him wear stripes or at least become ' " a convict. Make him pay the bill: If hie health' gets bad, as if will, and it looks like he was abcu to die, le him cut but f rst let him eel ihe penalty of the law. Le: him take his medicine like . tha nigger must take his like the man without money and without a pull mus: take bis. Suppose the crime of which Bre:se W'ere guilty meant a life sentence. Pretty plea it would be that you couldn't send him. to prison because it would shorten that life. Artemus Ward told of a fiend incarnate, a youth,, who killed h's father and his mother in cold blood. There was no circumstance to palliate nothing to -mitigate or excuse the horror of the awful deed. Following the usual routine and asking the usual ques tions the old judge looked .down on the murderer and asked him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. "If it please your honor," said the guilty wretch, "you should have com passion on a poor orphan." Morse would have died in prison. No doubt of that. His release gave him new hope and mind asserted it fclf over matter and physicians were dumbfounded. To place Breese in, jail would be humiliating, and so it is humiliating, we take it, to elec trocute a man, but the law Bhould at least be. partially enforced. Breese should go to prison. He should be aade pay the penalty for dishon esty.- ;He betrayed a trust. He rob bed the widow of Bill Nye, the gen- I tie humorist. He, robbed many peo ple,, helpless children and dependent women. He cut a wide swath. ' He stole money and fought fori his free don with' it. ' K,e was defeated. The destiny that does shape our ends said .to him:. You must pay h.3 bill. The machinery of the law said the same. And now comes the maudlin, sympathy and because tais nice old thief 'would get ill wire he to be a common convict, although he was a common thief, he should be pardoned. We say pardon a man after he hes paid the bill. A year to a man of Brease's sens bilities means, as much as ten years or a life to a man utterly abandoned. But le" him have some confinement. Let the world know that a man cannot wreck a bank; steal all in sight and. taen, after spending years at tempting to defeat justice, plead hat to imprison him would make him ill. Did you ever stop to thrnk how many convicts, gu l.y of much lijht-e- crimes than Bree :e, die every day in the penitentiary? They have no pull. They have no friends. The law dealt sternly and often unjus-ly with them. They go to prison and die and are forgotten. Breese was, an extraordinary thief, in that he knew" better, and he. should not be pardoned, not, at least, until he o-ecomes a convict. Better that he died In the penitentiary before he got his hands on the mdney of other people. Away with tnis at tempt to establish a precedent that a nice old man can commit crime and plead illness in Justification. That is what they are trying to do and that 's what we would prevent. The appointment of Mr. Watts seems Ao keep Washington corre spondents quite busy. -And it may be that on this rock the great Dem ocratic ship of state in North Car olina will go aground. There is go ing to be something doing, one way or another. Colonel Osborne really didn't want the office. He simply wanted to try for it, and now that he has se cured it will make good. Colonel Bill, as we call him here, is a great pol itician. References: W. W. Kitchin and James Manning. Of course he new railroad hasn't come yet, but it will come. And so will the interurban. Greensboro will be the recipient of many glad sur prises in the next year. And what helps Greensboro will aid Guilford county. Atlanta is making a fool of herself over grand opera. Perhaps three fourths of those who take a front seat and look supernaturally grand couldn't tell '-the - df essence between , a scale in A major and a scale in The Columbia S-ate, commenting upon the assurance of Mr. Under wood, that the country is "braced" for the .-tariff change, wittily remarks that Louisiana's suspender buttons are only hanging ty a thread. The city of Greensboro h3s been visited and is still visited with mil lions cf gnats. And so, as we pass along, the fly side-steps, and we are Jsked to swat the gnat. The Patriot still insists that all o Guilford county must make ar rangements, to visit the Battie Ground July (Fourth. A ,reat day and a great time. . - - And sfill it is in evidence that chose who bowl loudest .for railroad regulation never shipped a pound of freight but the people must be protected! The late corn will do better than the early corn this year, because the early corn was swatted by Jack Frost. A Card. This is to certify that all drug gists are authorized to refund your money if Foley's Honey and Tar Compound- fails to cure your cough .v cold. John Bernet,' Tell, Wis., slates "I hare used Foley's Honey and Tar Compound as a family med icine for five years and it has al ways given the best of satisfaction an1 produced good results. It will always cure a cough or cold. For children it is indispensable on ac count of its pleasant taste and its freedom from opiates.'' Refuse sub stitutes., ; Cony erg & Sykes. adv MORTGAGE SALE.
