EDITORIAL COMMENT. President E. L. Mottttt.of Elou College, has been honored with the decree of LL. I), by Fuion Christian College of Indiana. President .Mottitt is only 37. Though young he has already contributed much to the educa tional awakening in the State. Elon College is fortunate in hav ing this young man at its head. Last Saturday President Roosevelt signed the bill appro priating $30,000 for the erection of a monument at King's Moun tain battleground. This bill was ( introduced by Congressman Webb aud it is through his ef forts that the act passed. It j sometimes takes our government a long time to honor its heroes. The battle of King's .Mountain ! was fought October 7, 17S0. William J. Bryan and Charles B. Aycock have been named by ! Senator Simmons as the winners for President and Vice-President in 1008. The Richmond Times-i Dispatch names Henry Watter 6on as Bryan's running mate. "Bryan and Watterson; the Peer-1 less and the Fearless; wise youth I and youthful age; two tongues i and pens of fire; two editors,! travelers, lecturers, statesmen."} Governor Warfield, of Mary land, has appointed William Pinkney Whyte to succeed the late Senator Gorman in thej United States Senate. Senator1 Whyte accepted theappointment and took his seat last week. He has served in the Senate before, having been appointed in 1808 to fill the unexpired term of Senator Reverdy Johnson, ap pointed Minister to England. In 1871 he was elected Governor of Maryland and in 1874 he was returned to the Senate where he was succeeded by Senator Gor man in 1880. Senator Whyte is in his 82nd year, having been born in 1824. United States Senator Joseph R. Burton, of Kansas, resigned his seat in the Senate June 4th, and Governor Hoch immediately appointed Foster 1)wight Co burn as his successor. Mr. Co burn is secretary of the Kansas Board of Agriculture, and the strange thing about it all is, that Coburn has declined the ap pointment. Few men deeline to accept a seat in the United States Senate. Later Governor Hoch offered theappointment to Judge Alfred W. Benson who accepted. Judge Benson is about GO years old and has been prominently connected with Republican poli tics in Kansas. One of the most amusing car toons we have seen recently is one that appeared in theChicago Chronicle a few days ago. The scene represented is a church with the inscription "W. J. Bryan for President 1908" just above the choir stand. In the choir is a representative each from Indi- j ana, Missouri, Arkansas and South Dakota who are singing for dear life out of the Democrat-1 ic Hymnal, tbesongbeing"Come | ye sinners." Bill Joel Stone, of I Missouri, with baton in hand, is , ' leading the singing. In front of the choir is the mourner's bench | at which Henry Watterson, of j Kentucky, and Ex-Governor Francis, of Missouri, are kneel ing apparently in deep contri tion, with handkerchiefs saturat ed in tears. The singers seem to be in great earnest and the scene is representative of what now seems inevitable?that those who repudiated Bryan in 1890 are coming back into the Democrat ic fold and asking forgiveness for their apostacy. William Pinkney Wbvte, of Maryland, who took bis seat in the United States Senate last week found only three men there 'who held seats in that body when he retired on March 3, 1881. These are William B. Alii son, of Iowa. .John T. Morgan,of Alabama, and Henry M. Teller, of Colorado. Senator Allison, who is 77, has strved continuous ly in the Seuate since March 4, 1878. l'rior to his electiou to the Seuate he served eight years in the House. Senator Morgan, who is 82, first took his seat in the Senate March 5, 1877, and since that time has been a con spicuous member. Senator Tell er became a senator when Colo rado was admitted to the Union aud has served in the Senate continuously since, with the ex ception of the years when he served as Secretary of the Inter ior in President Arthur'sCabnet. A Warning to Witnesses. It is occasionally the case that a witness will swear to certain facts in a magistrate's or com missioner's court, and then when the case comes up in theSuperior or Federal Courts, swear to a different story. This is a danger ous thing to do?it often defeats the ends of justice and further more, it places the witness in a hazardous position. The fol lowing clipping from the News and Observer tells what happen ed to a witness who swore two ways: J. Taylor was louna guilty of perjury in the Federal Court yestesterday and sentenced by Judge 1'urnell to one year in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., and to pay a tine of #100 and costs. It was further stipu lated that Taylor shall not again appear as a witness in the courts of the United States un til all the tine and costs are paid. "In the trial oi Mordus Brown,; charged with retailing, before the United States Commissioner at Wilson, Taylor swore that he had purchased whiskev from! Brown several times. When the case came up before the District Federal Courtin Raleigh for tria . Taylor testified that he did not know Brown to be the man from whom he had obtained the whis key." It has often been said that the way to beat the beef trust is to ! quit eating meat, and th< author of the "Jungle Book" has en-j abled a great many people to adopt the suggestion.?Kansas City Journal. A new book by Thomas Dixon, i Jr., is announced by Doubleday. | Page & Co. It is to be called j "The Traitor," and will be brought out early in 1907. It will be the third of the triology of which "The Leopard's Spots" j and "The Clansman" are part.' It will deai with the downfall of the Ku Klux Klan, and, unlike the other Dixon books, will scarcely touch the race problem. Mr. Dixon described it to his publishers as "a novel of love and hate."
