' That was enough fc brin down upon him the viala of wrath always kept filled to overflowing in the editorial rooms of The Charleston News and Courier.

Still we are 'inclin ed to the, belief that In the case In point " President"' Flnley was entirely within the bounds of historical accu racy." Of course President Flnjey was, and so la The Times Everybody is except the unfortunate News and Courier. What will become of our afflicted contemporary, -, anyhow? There ought to be a special law pass ed to cover such cases.. . - The passing of the stately line of American Men of War out of the Vir ginia capes,, led iy the President on the Mayflower," send a thrill through the nation, Pride in the great fleet is excusable. 'There is aomethlng in the consciousness of power that exalts an individual or ft people, There is noth ing, however. In this ehow of the na tion' lighting- strength that gives more reason, for patriotic pride than the knowledge that' America' has never gone to war for conquest or to humiliate a, weaker people. And once at least we, fought to give another people independent national life, is to be hoped that such ihtgh pur pose will always be ours and that the man who gave the - word of com mand fof this movement of our fleet and the men Who carry thai com' mand ' into execution wJU 'keep -in mind this record. ; It; becomes us to use our strength' to preserve (the world's peace. The talk: of war with Japan is little less than criminal and It is to be hoped that the movement of our fleet will make auch an event even more impossible, ' President ' Boosevelt's final state ment of his intention to hold to his purpose of retiring to private life at the end of his present term of office, brings to our minds again the waste of power which 6ur system of govern ment makes necessary,, : That -Mr. Roosevelt is all the better equipped fop puhlla service becausi jof hl4"af perlence in his present office, .tatt will agreefand n one will deny that the nation needs the 'fearless, Strength of such, a ;man. He will give that strength -to the nation as private citlsen as best he can,' no doubtt but there, ahould be aome way by , which men who have pained such valuable knowledge ot.'the nation's life, could be kept in the', public' service. It would mean much to have Mr, Cleve land and Mr. Roosevelt in the coun cils of the nation. , What has become of thf suggestion ' to make ex-Presl dents Senators at large T . We reflect with much complacency upon the fact that after listening to the wild nd .Incoherent: harangues of men who would remedy all exist ing .wrongs before sunset, the Senate of tjie United Slates, undisturbed and unafraid, goes quietly ana witji aigm ty about Its high work of legislating for the public good.' It Is true that the popular patience is sometimes strained by the slow'', ptveedure of Senators. But we are often made to see that their work of criticism, of, and deliberation upon, the popular demands of the hour Is one of the surest bulwarks' of our national life.

Tyree, pastor of the First Baptist church. , Then Mr George Pennlman, of, Massachu setts, waa ; introduced by Chairman Broughton and made a, very force ful speech for prohibition and against dispensaries and saloons. Mayor James Iredell Johnson introduced Revt Mordecat F. Ham, . who is hera to Jreally lead the fight ? against the dispensary., Mr. Ham' made a par ticu larly striking , speech. r . .v; 1 However, the event of the - meet ing was a volunteer talk, made from the audience, by State Superintendent of ; . Public - Instruction ' James Y. Joyner, which literally 4 swept ;? tha audience like a wave. 'He spoke par ticularly about the statement -made by. opponents ef prohibition that the school terms would, be shortened' be cause of loss of revenue by the abolition ot the diepensary. He said there was not one word of truth In this and the statement was all rot; that the schools will continue . to have the. same advantages and - even more, and ' he ' pointed out Greens boro as an example, where, since prohibition came into effect, a $50, 000 school house has been built. He declared that prohibition : means more schools, better ones and mora education. His speech ; was full" of fire and force and there was tre mendous applause when it was ended. It was short but telling. . ' 1 Mr. Ham called on the friends of prohibition to rise; and the whole audience sprang to its feet. " It was remarked by observant persons that enough voters - then stood to sweep Raleigh for . prohibition, by their vote and their Influence, and it was regarded as victory from the very start ior tnai aiae 01 me ngnt.
