duty will prove the greatest
. frWe have never seen what
' -' i
there .was and is in President
-McKinley's course through the
Spani sh war and that in the
- Philippine . Islands that . would
certainly have been improved
upon had one of our party been
at the head of the governmentr.
It is fair to presume that no
gr eat political party will readily
commit suicide by putting up a
bad or incompetent man and if
by chance one of great talent but
questionably integrity be put up
he is apt to be set down. We
think tae president entitled to
great respect.
We take it, too, .that when
"beaten (at the polls, the next best
thing to getting pur own party
in power is in cheerfully ac
quiescing in all that we can con
sistently 'and in co-operating
with those whose efficiencv as
public servants is promoted
thereby, just as we thinkpatriot
ism would demand if situations
"were exchanged.
While we deeply regretted to
see war wjth the natives of the
Islands and would rather have had
the Americans withdraw if such
could have been to the interests
of those people, we felt that
there was no right nor honorable
way left but to subdue the . ele
ment that precipated war upon
as.
, The preliminary report of the
commission confirms . our
sense of right and gratifies us
that we did not fall into the
muddy, turbulent current of
crimination against s those who
liave the responsibility of
affairs.
The commission shows that in
dependence was :ntt expected by
the islanders and was never
promished except by Aguinaldo
who proclaimed that the Ameri
cans would give them inde
pendence. The commission is satisfied by
study and observation that the
IFilipinos are not ripe for inde
pendence. Besides it is shown
Jhat inside our lines the natives
liave as - nearly self-government
3ts they are capable of exercising
Wnd thaji G en. Otis has' instituted

itre being taught English. :

In Manila and business is good.
The commission is strongly of
the conviction that at no period
since the great Dewey victory
could the UnitedJStates forces
liave withdrawn with honor to
the nation or safety the natives.
For had we; withdrawn after
-destroying the Spanish authority
it is believed. that anarchy w6uld

report says 'our control means

pines, internal order, a guaran

and against dismemberment of
their country, " commercial , an d

large a share of government as
they shall prove fit to take. '

. The Southern Cotton Spin
ners' Association met in Char
lotte and fixed a schedule of
prices for their goods, advancing
rates' to suit the advanced prices
of cotton. Are we not passing
away from the survival of the
fittest idea and the cut-throat
competition rivalry into
broader and more humenc "live
and let live'' policy ? We wonder
if trusts, combinations and or
ganizations for aggression and
restraint, by which we seem
about to be absorbed, do not
mean the development and the
outgrowth Of a system of higher
socialism by which humanity,
while bowing to the inexorable
decree, -"By the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat thy bread,"
shall yet be freed f ;om much of
the solicitude which too often
discourages youth, opens the
door to disease, prematurely
frostenes the locks and multiplies
the cemetery mounds.
A-When the train pulled into
Charlotte Friday night with Ad
miral Schley aboard the hero was
discovered on the rear platform
looking about. He asked sooa-
one what place it was. On being
told, he ' repeated the name
"Charlotte" and said': "Why,
there is quite a - little crowd
here." It is quite apparent that
solid roads : and historic tablets
cut no ice with a "sea lion. "
In reply' jto an earnest query
regarding the good luck a'rab-
bhVs f pot is supposed to bring,"
we would say that this special

iriy, is aemonBtratea when it

It is certainly nratyingto the public
to know of one cancer in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and : suffering. -I- The ptoprietors
