GLAXCK INTO TIIK OTHER i CAM I'. Ex-Governor Frank 8. Black, of ; New York, ia the orator who deliv ered notably eloquent eulogy, of President Roosevelt before the Re iubllcan - national convention of 1,904. Thursday night lost, before the Home Market Club, of Boston, this romfl orator attacked President Roosevelt in the most whole-heartcdj manner imaginable. There never hag been In the history of thla coun- try a bossism so despotic and un scrupulous as that which controls . you now.- venemtniiy nee j.rca mr. Black with obvious reference to the DA,M.tt IT.. ... I. . ... 1, upon tha Taft candidacy, "It Is sought to fill the highest elective of flee In the world by executive ap nolntment. w-lthnut van tha afa guard of a confirmation by the Sen ate." Yet again, "It will be a aad day for the American people If they discard the words, 'In Qod we trust," and adopt the motto, 'After me, the deluge.' " And Mr. Black, let ua re mem rr. is but ono spokesman of a powerful and until very recently dominant clement In the Republican party which hates Mr. Roosevelt and hi policies beyond anything else mi uh. Considering thla state of affair In the orpoalng ranks, the Democratic party need only quit Its for.tishnefs to find the Chances of victory much brighter than seemed possible only a short while ago, Disorganisation and wide Clfftrencca ef opinion ex lit In the other ramp at well. Each of two hostile bodies I always prone to lay well nigh exclu sive stress upon its own troubles, and the Democratic party should beware Irrt It do so now vo its undue dis couragement and consequent Injury. As ait officer once iald to some raw troops under hii command, "Remem ber, tha enmy la Just as much afraid ef you as you are of him." Or as Hector said, In encouraging his Tro Jans against th Greeks: "Nor are their bodies rocks nor ribbed - with steel. Tour pangs they suffer and your blow They feel." Th Republican party Is not In vincible, Its pr.?nt front Is even less united than Democrats aye wont to preeer.t, and If Its wo wlnn me brought to act effectively together before next November a marvel mint be accomplished. But will the Democratic party quit Its foolishness? AX IMPOSSIBIJ; TICKKT. The Washington Post begins an astonishing editorial with these sen sible observations: The Democratic psrtv to he sueress ful must have all the forces known as Bryan rnn snd It must gain hundreds of thoussnds of votes In Slates that are debatable. "The proh.-ibiIltis are that Mr. Hrysn would lose Net, ranks this year as lie did in lirt), and the probabilities are that Johnson, of Minnesota. culd carry that State, as he Iihs done twice already, and could -io better than Mr. Hrysn In a down other Htaten. With Johnnon on the Democratic ti(:ket every Lemix-ratle Ctata would be smt-ly f fc-tnoeratte, and Ms nomination would render doubtful a dozen Ktte now In the solid JCepuuli can column." The' statl'm; suggestion in thla editorial is found at Its conclusion: "On the presidential ticket Uert wo'ild tear the eltrl vote of New Tfnrk from the Republican part v.

"The Democratic party would have a cement for principle headed by mn who would be aheTi win." Even if it could be achieved with this ticket, which It could not. this would be too high a price to pay for victor?, "he the Democratic party nominal Wm. R.

MAD. la an article copied yesterday from the 'Wilkesboro correspondence of The Industrial News It was stated that in recent years WHUea county has not raised enough food products for home consumption but has an nually sent out thousands of dollars for corn, flour, bacon and other ne cessities. Instead of making these the' people have devoted themselves to Retting out lumber and tan-bark. It might have been added that, they realize for these, : and' for haulln them to railroad stations. Just about day wages, and the tan-bark peelers cut down the trees for the bark, and ve the trees to rot on the ground Thus the lands are stripped of thel timber, without any adequate compen sation, nnd the money received Is sent off for food supplies. In this matter ViIkes is not exceptional ampn western counties; there are others that pursue the same wasteful, pov erty-lnvltlng policy. A citizen of Alexander county said to the writer, eighteen months ago, that In 'his opinion his county Is worse' off flnan dally than It was twenty years ago that bis people are cutting their Um bcr, selling It for a song, for hardly more than It Is worth to haul It to market, buying provisions . for the money thsy get and while their wood land, their chief asset In natural wealth. Is disappearing, their stock and wagons are running down. Those people need an Appalachian reserve or -something to save Jhcm from themselves. North Carolina. may be added, has derived this benefit from the panic: that It has so re duced the demand lor lumber that saw-mill men will not now pay for It even the starvation prices at which they have been buying It and the destructlvework of the axe and the saw-mjll has been at least tempo rarlly "suspended. ' PROSPERITY'S IJVE XHtPSK. Unless xonio apparently trust worthy Indications are misleading be yond belief retail trade In the conn try at large for the approaching eprlng will measure! well tip to the high average of recent years. From ihe New York Times we learn that over 3,000 out-of-town merchants and other buy?rs, chiefly from the West, have poured 'nto the metropo lis, surprising and delighting New York merchants. ; On Monday - last the 0ew York Merchants' Associa tion's first registration day for the spring trade, 419 buyers, or the next largest number on record for iuch i date. Inscribed their names at as.o elation headquarters. The second day's registration left no record un broken. All the hotels that cater to the out-of-town buyers were over run. "The buyers and out-of-town merchants," says The Times' story, swarmed about the hotel corridors last night, telling their New York friends that the business outlook was brighter than It had ever been be; fore. Many who went to the theatre In the evening spent Intermission time predicting a great era of pros perity for the country." Though some of the country's great Indus tries are In a very unsatisfactory con dltlon for the time oelng. the facts ust narrated certainly do not Indi cate general hard times, either pres cm or prospective, prosperity lias received some hard and temporarily crippling blows, but It Is far frcm dead yet. COCAIXK. The Richmond News Leader, dis cussing a bill to regulate the drug traffic, now pending In the Leglsla ure of Virginia, say: "Perhaps many members of the Senata nd the House fall to realise the areat Importance of this matter. . In the cities the cocaine evil has become frightful Any policeman or mun Acquainted with practical operations of the police depart ment in iticnmoni win testify tbat co ctlne to-day is doing more harm In this city than whiskey In the proportion of at lesst two to one. The eoeuine drunks are the hnrrtest nnil wildest the police ave to nanoie. Tlie drug can be tmea nvwheee nnd by anybody and one of Its rxt effects I to make the man or wo man using It a menace to the commun- y. It enuses hallucinations and a con- Itlon closely approaching lunacy, its permanent effect Is to destroy moral character even more completely thnn morphine nnd to wrecic the body." Th statement that cocaine Is do lng twice as much .harm In Rich' mond as whiskey Is of course an ex- ggeratlon. Nothing does half as much harm as whiskey a,nd sn argu ment that anything approaches It In cslructivene-M H half an argument for Its consumption, to which no one should lend himself. Yet all that our contemporary wyi of the hide- tin consequences of taking cocaine o'w that it renders Its "habitues dan- rous. Inducing hallucinations and most lunacy, ani that depravity alts upon It footsteps, is true; and ot It is practically admitted to free traV and all effort Is devoted to dis gracing snd debarring whiskey. Let have some restrictions thrown jout the traffic In those secondary agencies of ruin: morphine, cocaine, and the preparations of which they are constituents, while we are legis lating and voting axilnst liquor.

' 'The company Is arranging for con ferences Willi representatives of its em ployes.' said Mr. t'inley. 'for the con sideration of the present wage adjust ment. The purpose of the proposed con ference Is to lay before the employes the situation surrounding the company and to secure their support In the present conditions of tradedepresslon that are upon It and all the railways of the tiouth.

It Is In hard lines now and has had to discontinue a number of trains p.nd lay off many men, and without pretending to fore shadow the result of the conference which Is to begin to-morrow, or to suggest what it ought to be, The Ob server, as the friend of both parties to It, ventures to express the hope that It will, go off amicably and to the satisfaction of all Involved. The painful Information comes from Raleigh that' the condition of Mr. Thos. K. Bruner, for twenty-one j ears secretary of the State board of agriculture, who has been sick for many months, is . desperate a'nd that his life Is despaired of. He Is the victim of a complicated liver trouble and recently Bright' disease, has de veloped. Th benefit to North Caro lina of the devot-d work which Mr. Bruner has don.- through the De partment of Agriculture Is beyond compututiorj. L val 'to his -'tate, proud of it, m.ii - fit miliar with Its resources an-l t-n f:t lit - than any man In It, with accurate' detail know!. edge of th -so at all times at hfs linger tips, con-crated to hl.i work and diligent In It .for th very love .'of It. he has moved quietly, unostenta tiously forward and has achieved re sults, it Is deplorable that, at the very senlth of his usefulness, we ara to lose him. The Macon Telegraph observes that "The advancing age of Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Harlan, Brewer and Peckhitr-i may at any time lead to "their retirement,- and tho next President of the United States Is likely to bo called on prac tically to reconstruct the membership of tho Supreme Court, Which would now appear to be almost the only conservative governing force that the country can depend on." This Is something for the people to think upon. It would bo an evil day for this country when a majority of the membership of Its Supreme Court was constituted of Judges selected without restraint by either Mr. Iloosevelt or Mr. Bryan. With either of them as President the only safety would lie In the Senate which yet has the pow?r of rejection of Im proper nominations. We have pleasure in printing on the second page of to-day's paper the speech of Senator John W. Graham,- of -OrangtvTO-thr Tata' compro mise) bill at the extra, session of tho Legislature. From the beginning of the rate agitation to Its end The Ob server has been In perfect sympathy with Major Graham's positions on the subject, which - constituted to It an assurance, 'beyond Its own Judg. ment, thBt It was right. This speech s characterized by his customury ability and clearness and above all by the bold, unequivocal stand which he always takes on questions of mo ment. Having before their eyes the trou bles of the Mecklenburg Fulr Asso ciation with city authorities and the courts, growing out of the efforts to furnish the city and county peoplo with somn amusement at the fairs nd yet keep within the law, public- plrtted citizens will In future hesi tate a good while before putting their money Into projects which are not In tended as financial investments but as mean of public benefit and cn- oyment. The fact Is that we are get ting almost too good for this world. When a paper of the ability and standing of The Washington Post can be guilty, five months before tho beginning of the silly season, of the folly of grlvely projecting Johnson and Hearst or Hearst and Johnson as winning; ticket for the Democracy, good deal ought to be forgiven to the bad Judgment ani foolishness of he small potatoes. f ' i Mr. Buxton Was Not Jn Conference With Mr. Craig or IIU Supporters.

T, DORTCH FOR GOVERNOR, CotiHervatln. Experienced Lawyer of Wayne - County Ik Preseiiu-d - For I he Highest Honor Wltliin the Gift of the Citizens of the Slate. To the Editor of The Observer: If it be true that these are turbu lent times for Democracy In North Carolina and that, in the midst- of time of radical measures and legls latlve enactments and litigation In volvlng the best interest within her borders, a conservative man. an able and experienced lawyer and- one that has fought courageously and victo riously in the thickest of her polltt cal battles is needed, allow ma to present to you for your readers the name of just such a man Mr. .W. T. Dortch. of Ooldsboro. In the County of Wayne lives tnis man In the quiet of his home ana his profession, whence ho has, how ever, always emerged clad In the strength, of his armor whenever the buttle cry of Democracy has sound d ho has always been at his post to do battle with Democracy s and his State's, enemies and they best an idve evidence of his telling ser vices. And that valiantly done, with credit , to himself, his party and bis State you will find him again pur uintr the even tenor of his way one of the most Kenlal. yet indefatigatii? workers among men at his omce and In the forum, yet never having sought Rny honor at the hands of his State so richly and freely serv ed. Such men as Col. W. T. Dortcn deserve and should have recognition not on their own' account, but be cause of their ability, ana peculiar meritorious (iimlliicatlons and the Insuiratlon of worthy example to the contemporaries of a man; tha generation to follow may Mnulate his example by rendering like ser vice to their State and country. To such men do we owe recognition and let us do credit to ourselves by non- orlnar them. In the Town of Goldaboro ana County of Wayne lived and died the father. William T. Dortch, Sr., lived and died In tha harness, with credit ability and honor as does and will the son of a great and noble sire whose name and fame were .known of all the native sons of thf Old North State: one of the greatest law yers this State has ever produced, ret a mnn. a scholar and a gentleman, gentle and courteous withal. So we have a man, a scholar and a gentleman by heritage, as It were ripened, developed and strengthened into tha full stature of a man of af fairs, a lawyer and a statesman, by work, study aud experience: no, he whoso cause we here advocate, with Lall of, his advantages and its envir onments, has not been the idle man the gentleman of , leisure ho has been the exception, he has taken ad vantage of his opportunities and turned them to account for himself, for the Democratic party and for tht State of North Cnrolina. To raise one's voice for such a man should be a privilege. If privilege It would be to render one's State i service and such It would be to nom Inate and elect a man such as W. T. Dortch; and simply do what ho has done further the cause of the best Interests of this State as he has done and elect him as Its next Governor. Col. W. T. Dortch Is known of .all who know him at all to be a man or ability, integrity, fearless and a man of conviction and wisdom by learning and experience, full of the love of his fellow man and possessed of the constructive ability that this Stat? so stands In need of now not the man of mean little prejudice, hut such a man as would safe-guard the rights and property of friend and foe alike. s . . . ' We wish -to attract capital to this State and eneourago Its beneftclent results;- we wish- to- guard- and -pre serve tne rights and Interests of all or our citizenship and the sover eignty of the State and so. having these principles at heart, and having had the pleasure of knowing for many years the champion whose cause I espouse. It Is with unhesitat ing courage snd conviction that this man la presented by me through your columns to your many readers, who are always appreciative when there is something at stake. ; Let us nnml nate and elect Col. W. T. Dortch ss the next Governor of the State of North Carolina. L. W. HUMPHREY. BOTH YOCXO MEX CLEARED. Mnrder Case Does Not Go to tle .Tory Five Vrar In Penitentiary For Negro Woman.
