SENATOR OVERMAN SPEAKS
IN CHARLOTTE.
United States Senator Lee S.
OTerman, of Salisbury, was the ora
tor at the dedication recently of
Charlotte's new auditorium, and, as
sual, made a speech that had some
thing in it. We quote from it as
follows:
"I deem it a great honor to
be able to take part in these ex
ercises tonight. I prize it a
distinction to be permitted to be
here at the formal opening of
this splendid auditorium which
will be a credit to yonr city and
means to much to your people.
I congratulate you, Mr. Pies
ton, and you, Mr. Dowd, for
the part you have played in
making this building possible
and for your untiring zeal in its
ompletion. If you say 100,000
inhabitant! for Charlotte in
1908, yon will have them de
epite the panic. They say there
is a panic and I want to add
that Grorer Cleveland didn't
bring it about either. It's noth
ing but a great scare. Gold is
flowing into this country. They
say wages are high, but I say
that farm products are corres
pondingly high. There is au
average per capita of wealth in
the oonutry of $32. What
brought about this panic they
are talking about? It was the
turning on of the light, the dis
covery of great frauds in reat
companies, bankers nsiog the
money of their customers to
speculate in Btocks, great and
infamous manipulation on the
part of the financiers with the
money of the people. If there
is a panic, it means the purifi
cation of the atmosphere of
high finance. And I tell you
it is the South that will sate
the nation from a panic. By
the cultivation of cotton as a
by - product, $600,000,000 is
made by the South annually,
$400,000,000 is brought to this
country from across the sea.
The whole trouble is that the
money you have placed in the
banks has been held and hoard
ed in Wall street."
Senator Overman is a ttrong man,
stands high, not only in the State,
but in the nation. Xo nia-i in nrl-
lio life has grown mare nuiillv Hmn !
he since his election to the Senate.

WATTEKSOXON THE
DENCY.
'Col. Watterson, editor of The
Courier Journal, says in a recent
issue of his paper!
'Yet there is one ray of hope'
for the Democrats, and, cnri
ously enough, this arises out of
rtie single menace to the coun-
try,, which shows itself across
the national horizon that is,
-the much-heralded, much-de-
nied candidacy of Theodore
RoQseK5lt for third term.
IMeADjrfeiJe, everywhere, the buc
caneers o" sneer piir'tylim, all
the daring opportunists and the j
intrepid adventurers, the hangers-on,
and the incense burners
are lining up in favor of one
more term for Theodore, which
means, and can only mean, life
tenure and the complete Mexi
canization of the republic.
"The very talk of a third
term for Roosevelt is treason.
If through any machinations of
political conditions, or any con
spiracy of party machinery, it
eould present itself as an ac
tuality, the people will rice en
masse, especially in New Eng
land, and crush it as a giant
would an eggshell."
The LOueier has from time to
time published articles from promi
Bent citizens of the State both in
public and private life, on matters
of live, current public interest. In
the near future Th Courier will

J. P. Caldwell, editor of the Char
lotte Observer; Mr. Josephus Dan
iels, editor of the News & Observer;

THE TER-CENTENNIAL EXPOSI
TION. Thoughts Presented to One Who Visited
The Grounds Historic Incidents Call
ed to Mind.
Written for The Courier.
Dear Mr. Editor: To speak of
the Jamestown Exposition would be
to repeat what has been said, so 1 11
write of some of the grandest and
most striking scenes. And to write
it up in full we leave for a pen more
facile, fluent, full ana forcible than
ours.
So we'll speak more of the feeling
produced than of the seeing.
First, we thought of the wonder
fully marvelous change since Colum
bus knelt on this continent not so
far from this spot and thanked God
for their safe arrival, next, of Wash
ington, also a praying man, then of
Lord Delaware, bowing and thank
ing God for their landing at James
town just in time to save the fleeing
colony which they met and turned
back on Hampton Roads, which, if
they bad not dome, wives might Le
selling today for 150 pounds of to
bacco raised in the streets as it was
there 300 years ago.
Think of this being the traffic
now throughout the United States!
And compare that deep shade of
melancholy and gloom in that wild
forest with these acres of land and
water, bearing not only their natu
ral products greatly improved, but
showing the gigantic strides of the
arts and sciences in the indescriba
ble handiwoik and the work of
thousands of ten-talented women
nd men, who, at the suggestion,
first, of tae historic State of Virgin
ia, have prepared and arranged this
magnificently beautiful and instruc
tive panorama, the Ter-Centennial
Exposition.
What monuments to the wisdom,
indastry and energy of the people of
the United States, anl all nations
who hare contributed! Can any
mind dwell upon this for one mo
ment and not feel like praising and
glorifying God more and loving hu-
iumij morer v, ior tnis last cord,
the crrd of love.
We could weep over the j.rtihr'ul
financial failure of the Exposition
but for the fond hope that its gates
win oe reopeneu later.
But most of all do we rejoice that
this gathering has done so much,
not cniy in reuniting the North and
South and rebanishing the old
dusty links of friendship and love
between theiri, hut it has wrought
new and long liuJis that reach across
the mighty ocean and tinite the peo
ple or ioreign lauds with us in a
st-nse heretofore unknown. God be
thanked for all these good results!
Would that that the siurit caught
W
! here from President Roosevelt a
.sptecii could be felt throughout the
l"ni:ed States, at leist 'Judging
'1""n the a!'l,,aaae he receivd there
s in, .win or aoutn in it.
What a pity thtre ever was! He
was most cheered when he referred
to the Bullock home in the Georgia
exhibits, and we think it is the best
on the ground because it is a monu
ment to his wife.
Poor women, they have precious
few mofiilfnenls! Butitissaid that
saeff things shine very dimly in the
sunTgfrt of heaven.
So oar noble women seem content
to bnild their 6Vn monuments! not
in iron that will fist,- nor in brass
that will corrode,' but in human
hearts where they Will endure for
ever and ever. Blessed thought!

Is Cod We Trust.
In his explanation of why "la God
we Trust" was Btncken from the
coin, idr. Roosevelt shows he was
ignorant of the law. The Wilmington
Star shows that, while the law is not
mandatory, it was premissive, and
Rev. M. R. Watkinson, having sugf
gested the inscription, Secretary Sa!.
mou P. Chase wrote this letter to
the Director of the Mint:
"November 20, 1861.
"Dear Sir: No nation can be
strong except in the strength of God,
or safe except in His defense. The
trust of our people in God should be
declared cn our National coin. You
?ill cause a device to be prepared
without nnnecessary delay with a
motto expressing in the fewest and
tersest words possible this National
recognition.
Yours truly,
"S. P Chase."
This letter is as sOUnd ai when
it was written. If some flippant
perauns can cause us to take "In
Go4 we Trust" from our coin, why
sboUld't they put an end to Thanks
giving proclamations? The truth is,
Mr. Roosevelt's love of change and
his egotistic econoclaBtn have result
ed in a blunder that Congiess
should right as soon as it meets in
December.
