The trouble ia that The Observer things perhaps party con ventions in and V.m changed some thing in principle, in which it and some other excellent persons and newspapers are, we humbly submit, mistaken, be cause a lai greater crowd hurrau for the work those years as the develop ment uni necessary s?quel of prist! nn American Dt-mocracy. And the crowd that hurrahs havo as little use for the fads of Populism and the vagaries of ultra Soclalisir. as The Observer. Uemo cracy is IndivMuaiirm, which in always adverse to Hoci ali.-jm. Just as it is ad verse to absolutism of another kind. To the Democrat no firm of paternalistic government, whether the father Is that treat beast tha Oenrral Will or the Man with the Big Stick, is thinkable. For our life we cannot understand our esteemed contemporary. If tne Democratic conventions of 1896 and 1900 did not reverse the party put ting it "about face," then all the world is mistaken. The shouting of the crowd does not signify that It la riht, but if it has no use for the fads Populism and the vagaries of ultra Socialism why. then hurrah for them and for their principal representative in this country? But most mysterious of all Is the statement that to the Democrat no form of paternalistic government 18 thinkable. Paternal ism could go no further, than ; the government ownership of i railroads nor Populism further than the in itiative and referendum. Our con temporary la ready to answer that neither of these has ever been writ ten in a Democratic platform but it is aware that CoL Bryan Is the plat form of that party and that it can not hurrah for him without embrac ing his fadai 1 The Register limps in Its reasoning and is not, we fear, qualined to give a very coherent an swer to The New York World's ques tion, "What is a Democrat?" The Register has anticipated us. It said ia Its issue of yesterday hat it "'conspicuously failed' to tell The Charlotte Observer of government ownership of railroads .because It was discussing, living questions and be cause Mr. .Bryan himself has only re- Cerre4 to It as an 'ultimate' question 'that is, a question which, might come up a quarter of a century or a century from now." As a matter of fact Mr. Bryan has hamimiered on this subject off and on ever since hi Madison Square Garden speech and is constantly bringing it Into nearer and nearer view, and in saying, this, and adding that he is striving more and imore to get 'the Democratic par ty reconciled to this mo natrons doc trine,' we but state a matter of com mon knowledge. As to The Regis ter's concluding sentence, "Truly The Observer knows that there is no-op position to Mr. Bryan worth coneld er&tion by the party," we have to al- adm.it that at this time the. party lies prostrate before himthe snore's the pity, the mo re's the pity. this :.: , "Mr. Knox first proceeds to not that manniT in which the interstate com merce clause of Ihe constitution has b"-en of latfl years invoked to meet the evils and requirements of expanding nd changing Industjial conditions. lis do fends the wisdom and constitutionality of lecislation already enacted In this corneclion. ar.d interestingly traces the-d evolution or sucn legislation irom me Sherman anti-trust act up to the enact ment of the rate law by the last Con gress. He takes occasion, however, to point out that tn Inter-State commerce clause of the constitution should not be heedlessly Invoked. His discussion ns to what "regulation" means as applying to Ir.ter-State commerce the distinction he draws between commerce and Induatrial pi eduction, claiming that the latter is not ii.tluded in the former, as well as the fCfurther distinction between the right to rgulat commerce as Inhering in Con gress, and the right of prohibiting com merce, is admirably presented. But the really powerful significance of me ad dress lies in the elucidation of the prin ciple that the federal government has no right, and should by no violent Inter pretation of the lnter-Stato commerce clause of the constitution assume the right to step one inch beyond the line that divides the province of State from that of national concern."' TWs Is in part undoubtedly a slap at the Beveridge child labor bill which proposes to restrict the South ern manufacturing interests by de nying dnter-State transportation to manufactures into which, so-called "child labor" enters. But more than this, to is a demand of a Democratic character for regard for the consti tutional guarantees of protection of the States against the aggressions of Federal power. In this tight It must bring pleasure 4o Democrats every where, and w regarded ia entitled to take rank wAth (the address of Secre tary Root in New York last winter and that of . Representative Tawney on Decoration Day at Gettysburg. It la hopeful wwen three Republicans of the prominence. Influence and ability of these three talk as they have done. Their 'addresses give In dication that the pendulum whloh has swung so far toward centraliza tion may before a great while swing the other way.

WIIAYNE Remarking that next to an inade quate supply of efficient labor, th South'a moat eerious handicap to further dndustrial expansion is insufll- ctent transportation facilities, ' The Textile Manufacturers' Journal, of New York, adds that "whatever 'may be the excuses for this phase of the railroad problem, there are none of a satisfactory character that can be advanced regarding rate discrimina tion, and If is to be hoped that the determination of North Carolina manufacturers to place their griev ances before the inter-State corn mere commission wiU bring the re lief desired." Thanks for the wish. The Observer itself does .not expect any great relief : to be obtained through the propoBod appeals ' of North Carolina manufacturers and merchants to this excessively ; non- mrenuous body but would have the people of the State accomplish what they can by such method before ' re luctantly proceeding further. Kentucky Physician Denies That He Kvcr . Advised Mrs. meadows to Leave Her Husband. To the Editor of The Observer; My attention was called yesterday to an article in your paper, which purports to be an interview with Rev. F. M. Hawley in regard to ths Mead ows and Hawley affair, in whjch you state hat about four years ago Mrs Meadows was advised by her family physician to leave Mr, Meadows or his brutal treatment would kill her, (I do not give you exact words, tout this is the import). I will etate that I have been their family physician since their marriage; was the-family physician of each family for f years before the- marriage and? don't .sup pose that any other physician ? has given treatment for any trouble or disease In the last 20 years. So I take it that the statement must have referred to me, r I never made such a statement in my life. Neither have I said anything that would admit of any 'such con struction. I have . been with Mrs. Meadows very often,, she having had quite a number of hemorrhages from her lungs and suffered from heart trouble. I have often cautioned her against excitement, over-exertion, any irrational conditions, etc, but never referred to any family affairs. I say further that I always found them- agreeable to each other. I never saw one particle of evidence of any discord In their family. Mr. Meadows was always attentive and solicltlous when she was sick. I know nothing of other matters In the case, but as to your statement as regards family physician there is no truth in it. A. B.

Crazy? - Chattanooga, Tenn., Times. : As an Indication of the disposdMon of Southern me we papers to dlsouss academically the Democratic possi bilities of the presidential year, the following from The Charlotte, N. C, Observer, with reference to Mr. Bry an and his views on railroad regula tion, Is in point: "Blind to conse quences, he would be a PreslJent quite capable of bringing the country to the verge of utter wreck tor the sake of government railroad owner ship or any other hobby with which his mind might be filled at a given time. If the Demlcratlo party is era- sy enough ,to nominate for President such a man as Mr, Bryan has shown himself to be, the country is far from crazy enough to elect him." If The Observer were alone in this opinion, it might pass as the expres sion of one headstrong "reactionary," as Mr. Bryan's friends are pleased to call thos of us who do not approve his rads; but it represents the sentl ment of at least a majority of South ern newspapers. we remark that this view of H is purely "academic' noweveT,,tecause mere is Hkewlse a sort of leaden resignation to Mr. Bry an's nomination as a foregone event xnese expressions are nunc out in a sort or desperate fashion with the email hope that he may be able to see .nwi Kowg mro a campaign with a negative support under oomnulslon as it were he must inevitably bring another defeat to his party.

V,"'"'n mv' -H ready to do so Never Better Since the Government Began the Work of Digging. Washington Dispatch, 23rd, ' General health conditions In the Panama Canal Zone are better than ever before since the American gov ernment began the work of digging the canal. 4The largest percentage in malaria f or any week In the 'month of May was 65-100 of I per cent., and it has been as low as 82-100 of 1 per cent. 1 The percentage of all disease has ranged from a minimum of 98-100 of 1 per cent, to 1 1-10 per cent. This gratifying condition of heaiibh. Col. W, C. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer, says eeems to be duo not only to favorable climatic condi tions, , but largely to the improved housing and feeding of the canal em ployes. ; In his report Col. Gorgas says that the prolonged dry season and the fcute beginning jof the- generaV mummer rains have been productive, t condi tions (favorable o the rapid ibreedilng ot mosquitoes. The conditions at present prevailing in the aone are so unusual that the sandtary department has been compelled to adopt precau tionary measures which have never before been utilized. The application of oil to breeding places was only partially effective in the destruction of the anopheles and 6he oulex. A boat wao built for the Eas Obispo river and the mouth of the river was blown out to increase the rapidity of Its flow into the Chag res. The boat then proceeded up the river to remove all the vegetation frotm ts bed. On each bank of the river gangs of laborers were put to work cutting down the underbrush. The shallow parts of the river were deepened, and where there were cas cade or falls dynamite was used to blow out a passage sufficiently wide to do away with the stagnant pools. , The canal cut proper was also a source of trouble to the sanitary de partment of th canal admin latraitri'on. The trail of every steam shovel left many problems of drainage to (be set tled, and in places where an outlet for the water was impossible to be constructed frequent - applications of oil were made to destroy the mos quitoes. At points where the flow of water is slow a barrel of oil is so arranged as to have a constant drip oi oil into the water. ; , The systematic method in which the health of the canal employes is guarded is Illustrated by the -work of the "mosquito inspector," who is an Important adjunct of the sani tary de partment. His duty is to locate the points or lnrectlon in every district showlngr an Increase of malarial cases. The reports of all malarial cases from the district' physicians, who are scattered over the canal some, re carefully tabulated and for warded to the heawquantera of the sanitary department. If tnere is a decided increase of malaria In ' any one locality the Inspector for that district ds telephoned to- took for the point of infection which is the prob able cause of the increase in the dis ease. The list of cases of sickness in his locality ds forward eed to the Inspect or, who eareiuilly goes over the ground to locate the ibreeding place of the disease. , As soon as this area If found the inspector reports back to the sanitary headquarters the best method of destroying the mosquitoes in .ftt jocamty. as many laborers as can be spared are at once tulaced at work on the neighborhood of the point or infection and. all the stag' nan pols and underbrush are n-moved. Returns From Stndont Conference.

To the Kdltor of The Observer: Concerning the long-delayed coptrl butlon of ."Gottlieb," on the editorial page ot your Issue of the 22d Instant, it is perhaps proper to explain first that the writer of this and a former communication is not the regular Fay ettevllle correspondent of The Ob server. "Gottlieb" is mixed, not un naturally, on this matter of Identity. As to hia rejoinder, there is very lit tle to answer In his column of print I must have misunderstood the two closing paragraphs of his first article, He ru dlscusslnar national pontics, and he declared that "prohibition Is the main issue In the mongrel party, which goes by the name or democracy now.", : Being ; asked to state "when the national Democracy ever espoused prohibition In its platform or otner wie " he nromntly answers, "Never, and savs it. like him. Is glad 'Of It Not waiting i to : be asked about the State Democracy, he next complains that "in the last platform promulgated bv the- North Carolina Democracy there is not a line In regard to prohi bltion."" Then which Democracy, pray. making it "the main Issue," as Gottlieb" declares? What Is he kick ing' - ahnut. anvhow? 1 . thought he iiiiin't want the Democratic party to espouse this "main issue," but it really seems he 4oes. Agaln. he asks: "Now, why couldn't our Democratjc candidates have said when thev were canvassing tneir re spective counties, that they were pro hibitionists, and have asked the suf frages of the people on that as well as other issues?'? "Gottlieb" answers his own question! before asking it, when howfi that prohibition Is not a part of the platform or creed of either the national or State Democracy; hence those" party nominees have no riirht tn make & campaign issue 01 u.
