" 14 BRIBES FOR TUB NEWSPA- Th Industrial News, of Greensboro. undertakes , the extremely difficult ; task of squaring. Its party attitude toward tariff reform In g-aaeral with .. complaints mad by Itself and other Republican newspaper against the paper trust. It remind The Durham Herald and The Observer that relief ftaa been promised. Theso papers," w read, "must have , lost sight of the fact that this modification ot the . tariff was recommended by President ' Roosevelt In the course of a formal massage transmitted to Coagresi. and that a verr decided majority of the Republican members of the House - hare signified their willingness to rant to publishers .whatever1 relief I to be derived by a Tsmoval of this .uriff.". ;.. Does this reply convince oar con temporary Itself? Not upon the most casual second -thought, we believe, s Apart front a widely held ; vlw tha( tha assurances mentioned sponsor d by Chief 8tand-patter Cannon are mere political buncombe, wa should like very much to know what right publiahers have to a relief de .

Such clta . tlons might be multiplied, and yet It Is only the newspapers whose grlev' nces receive any respectful consid eration. Mr, Cannon and his cos frere would seem to design purchas - Ing favor for themselves and "prolong . ed, Immunity for all the trusts but i on by singling out the paper trust as ' a scapegoat." The country's organs ' of publicity would presumably, show their gratitude for the special favor shown them In a practical manner. soma moderating and others quite ceasing their demand . for general tariff-reform. At all event, they would hardly continue as ctajrrus nca their own grlevsno-wid recalv ed attention. !arff fcannon and his . fellow-cynsesV''-' evidently reason wa teSrithout sufficient warrant. The scheme. whether or not it goes sny further , than promises. Is clear . enough. ' it Tha Industrial News think again. ' - This wise observation is from The Greensboro Record: "We newspaper people keep lambast .Ing Cong i ess for Its failure to remove th duty on woed pulp and print paper and wonder Why it is not done.

Not a thing that could possibly be devised for their comfort convenience and- pleasure, Waa left .undone. This was, of course, not surprising as Charlotte has gotten th habit Charlotteans are proud of their city and nave Just cause to be. The editors wsre taken over the city roads and everywhere they saw evi dences of a growing and prosperous town. The spirit of energy and enter prise evidenced by its peopl is worthy of imitation an over tne state. tonla Qasatt., Charlott sustained and enhanced its refutation for hospitality in 1U entertainment of the North Carolina Press Association this week. Of th many notable convention neia py w unxluimi nona have been more de- llirhtfnl than thl last. ' Ths citizens of Charlott 'vied with one another in making th visit of the editors agree- aDie ana tney iiurany umrirunmcu Ith.ir vi.itnr with attentions. Mr. J. p. Caldwell of The Observer, and Mr. licitud for th pleasure of their tt- nw editors contributed greatly to wards an altogether delightful sojourn hr th - Queen "City. Mr.Egbert-Ci Moore, of the Belwyn, one of tne gouth's best hostelrles, was all atten tlon and his guests left singing the praises of th Belwyn. The young la dles of the Presbyterian College made a great hit with the visiters In their concert Wednesday night the street car company and places or amuse ment th cituens witn tneir automo biles and in short sll Charlotte did everything ' to make the convention what it was the most enjoyable in the association's history. The editors will long remember the lavish hos pitality of . their entertainers. Bans bury Post . , ..; . Th meeting of the North Carolina Press Association Just held in Char lotto was one of the most pleasant and. most beneficial sver held. The meet-tna- was on of unusual good fellow ship and earnest work for the better ment of th newspaper rraiernity. ne association took high grounds oa every proposition coming before It which argues for a wide and high- toned spirit prevailing throughout the Stata in Journalism. Charlott never surpassed the entertainment given the editors and the editors never enjoyed mora substantial - hospitality. . The "Queen City" did th biggest and be,st thing possible by Ih editors and the pen-pushers enjoyed every minute of the time spent among these good peo ple. . Such meetings as this on do tha Ktst good Never did the press of th State mora thoroughly commit Itself to th moral and material advance of the mate than wa evidenced at this week's meeting. ' Never did th pre a discuss- and go on record so earnestly on vital and consequential Questions so completely aa at this gathering. The meet trig was M atate-wld Interest It was of Interest to every legitlmst In terest of the State, tor ths reason that th association stood 'rears emphatic ally for all that goea to make th mate good and great than ever before. Thla much is of. Interest to th public whether th social side of strti a meeting ia or wot Concord Tribune --Th edltoro- North-Carolina, -At. least a considerable bunch of them, are doing Charlotte to a turn, and tha "Queen City" I making the Job a very easy Tae. The Press Associa tion has had ne more delightful meet ing thatk this, and they have not been better quartered than at the Belwyn and o -where received a mora cordial weteoraathan Charlott la btowln. . Th first day's session of the ciatioa was of unusual Interest .There were three addresses of welcome, by Mayor Franklin for th city, by Mr. . R. Preston for the business men. and by Mr. W. C. Dowd for the city press. These were fittingly res ponded to by Major A. London, of tha associa tion. : ..-.r. ; ' The pleasure features of the flay wer a car rid in the afternoon over th entir city and suburbs during which Charlotte's splendid development and progress could be seen. : At night there , was a delighful concert by the young ladles of the Presbyterian Col lege, but these and other interesting things seen and learned about Char lotte will be mentioned more fully later. - - .- Charlotte is a great town and every editor here would carry It horn with bjro if he could, but while that is Im possible he will carry with . him t memory of a most pleasant sojourn In her borders and. a heart filled with pride that we have such a town in North Carolina. -Greenville Re flector. ' - '..;' The meeting of a proas. assocla-J tlon reveals to those who attend its sessions, the editors, a closer and nearer Insight 'into a city's conditions. than Is afforded the average visitor. To th editors attending th North Carolina Press Association at Char lotte, this week, the industrial and commercial, not to mention th social conditions, of the city, brought an insight that could not be gained through newspaper or published ac counts. The boast of the people or Charlotte Is not without reason, There is the substance behind to snake good the boast. Charlotte has grown Into the metropolitan state. It has becom cosmopolitan, yet it Is as truly Nort hCarollnlan in its spirit and purposes as It ever waa. The word "excelsior" was at one tlm employed as symbolical of a mova ever upward, regardless of Im pediments. To-day, "greater" s the terra used, and the cltlsens of Char lotte are pointing and working to wards a Greater Charlotte. Th suc cess of Charlotte ts not hard to deter mine. It Is the old cause and effect It. is the cause of every citizen be. ing a thorough Charlottean, In word and deed, and the effect is seen in the city's industrial, commercial and business progress. In its gain In ma terial upbuilding, and its increase of population. There is a genuineness in ' Char lotte's go-abeadedness. It is not a bluff.. It Is substantial from Its rock laid street to towering fireproof buildings. There is the substantial showing in. Its stores and Its trade c I re tea. Its newspapers reveal Its growth snd prove Its prosperity. - The Charlotte Of to-day reveals what a North Carolina city csn do, and yet reach out to do more. It Is confidence and local faith In cltixens, who back up these by work, and are ever moving forward In promotion, development and municipal better ments. The Charlotte of to-day Is a city that commands t-he respect and admiration of every North Carolinian that visits the place, arid sees it as It truly Is. Newbern Journal By cwaffloo consent the annual meving of mo ivorth Carolina Press Association at Charlotte last week ftaa tne most profitable and enjoyable mac tn association has ever held. Other meetlnga have been as good from particular points of view. but. taking it from .every point of view tne Charlotte convention stands at th head. ' ' The selection of Charlotte was for tunate. It is ths leading- commercial city of the State. Although the ed itors all knew this fact even the best infurmuu ofthem were not prepared to - see a city which has. In recent years especially, made such, immense strides in civic and material advance ment. Tna recent or present panic has practically brought to a standstill :ti n.aay ot our. clues and towns the buildlns- of new residences and bus iness houses, but in Charlotte there u not onty been no decrease in building but tha rever has been th cas. and Juet now more buildings are going' up thera than at anytime In the city's history. Not only thla but her people are people of rUh-t ideaa imbued wIUi th spirit and permeated oy the principles that make a hlgh-V ciass CKiienenip, ana who ar on the right sld of moral and civic Ques tions. Such a. city with such a people cannot go - backwards. t - Watch Char lott gTOW.

By the. courtesy of Mr. E. D. Latta th visitors were snown over the city in special trolley earn on one afternoon, and on the next wer taken in automobile over several, mile of Mecklenburg's good roads. Every editor, had, of course. heard of the county's good roads, and to sec them personally naturally in cited in him m desire to go homo and tell his readers about them and en deavor to stir them tip to follow the example of tha county which, leads all other in thla respect , The fine attention given by thu newspapers to the visit of the editors and the proceedings of (heir a ell be ra. tlona was unprecedented. - The Ob server, The News and The Chronicle each pubUahed the fullesjt account of it he meeting, having each from two to thro page every day. IX was enough to turn tha heads of the editors, who are used to the grind of hard work with little thought of gtoryy The papers read before th asso ciation wer -of the highest order of mem. Taken as a whole, it was the ablest lot ever heard by th associa tion. . This is the universal verdict Alt the papers read wer pitched en a high plane, and wer full of sound sense, good business, high patriotism, and aa literary productions were eciual to th best anywhere. No editor who' attended th Charlott meeting ' can but reel proud when the production heard ther ar compared with those of any other body of men in the State. . Tn tection ot Mr. X. A. Thomas.
