In it character, brought against a public man is sure to react in his favor when It falsity is ascertained, as it Is always certain to be. Thus with the accusation of The Xe'w York World. referred to in this paper of the d, that in 1904 a brother-in-law of Col- one! Bryan solicited and received from Thoa. F. Ryan $20,000 to aid in the : election of a Legislature in Xe braska which Mould elect Mr. Bryan to the United States Senate. The charge has fallen to the ground, as Witness this letter: ' "New Tork, June 1, 190. 'ITon. William 3. Bryan. Lincoln. Neb. ' ''Dear Sir, I have reud the article pub' lished in The New Tork World on May toth last, relating to campaign expendl tunes In the Mate ol Nf braska In 1904.

KniB la a money-getter and his financial transactions are not always ' governed by the nicest sense of pro jprlety. Notably his connection with the Bennett will matter was very unworthy; but he is an honest man as this word Is generally employed, . and that he could knowingly receive money from Thos. F. Ryan after hav ing abused him and those of his ilk as be has, for the promotion of his personal or political fortunes, Is un imaginable. This case against him has fallen down. TTLE DEATH OF OLD BOOZE." The- obsequies of Mr. Booze ,have been celebrated by many North Caro lina poets and the last to lift up his voice in song is a citizen of Moore. To one of his fellow-citlsens, who submits It as a specimen of near poetry, we are Indebted for this ef fort, which is "too gleeful In tone to , be called either a chant or a dead march, though the subject considered It ought by right to be one or tho other: THE DEATH OF OLD BOOZE.

We beg leave to bring again to the attention of the people of the Htat the claims of Mr. C. C. Moore to the office of CommlMloner of Agriculture. He is capable of filling It and has a record of effort In behalf of the far mers of North Carolina w hich' enti tles him to consideration. Practically without compensation and largely at Ills own expanse, he has traversed the ' State from one end to the other in promotion of the work of the South ern Cotton Association and his Intelli gent zeal In this cause demonstrated his fidelity to a trust committed to nlm. - Be would bring the same in telligence and fidelity to th commis- . slonerahip of agriculture and The Ob server can give th assurance to those ho do not know him that in this , offlce he would disappoint no expecta tion. It comes to The Observer from a prohibition Democratic friend in an extreme eastern county that there la a considerable movement in his coun ty la favor of a bolt of anU-prohlbl-tion Democrats, from th ' party. We liopo there will be nothing of this kind, there or elsewhere. No remedy Vould b found In thia for any griev ance, real at supposed.

The Georgia contest having ended In a clean knock-out or tne chal lenged by the 'challenger, the Tennes see affair, now not far from a close. will receive more attention. In Ten nessee, also, a Governor completing a two-year term and entitled by prece dent to re-nomlnatlon has been loud b- challenged. Ex-Senator E. W. Carmack Is an incomparably stronger personality than the man who won over Governor Hoke 8mlth, but he has a far worthier antagonist and It remains to be seen how strong a fol lowing will be his at the polls. Gov ernor M. B. Patterson has undoubt edly made a good Governor, keeping his head at all times and falling in with no craze. The healthy reaction from run-mad radicalism which un did Hoke Smith In Georgia does not operate against him and none of his policies deserves or has received gen eral condemnation. Mr. carmacK a challenge. In fact, appears to have grown' entirely out of that gentle man's real or supposed political ne cessities. Defeated for re-nomlnatlon by ex-Governor Bob Taylor at the end of a brilliant first term, and re fusing to regard this almost unac countable interruption of his senato rial career as more than temporary. he dreaded lying on the shelf for any conafdfrable period lest his grip on State politics be lost. The governor ship In Itxelf hardly tempted his am bition much, but It was a means to an end. A natural popular dlslncll nation to put an undeserved affront upon Governor Patterson by denying lilm the benefit of the re-nomlnatlon precedent did not appear at all an In superable obstacle in view of special conditions. The prohibition wave was gathering momentum and it might well carry a good rider over many obstacles. Governor Patterson, standing by local option, had given anm. rival aanirant an obvious Op portunity. Mr. Carmack evidently believed that he could partly avenge himself upon fate for his ouster from the senatorshlp by ousting Patterson from the governorship. True, he had up to that moment stood for local option and the local self-government idea, but the man who would stay In politics at all hazards must keep him self prepared for whatever winds may blow. Bo, completely reversing his position In this respect, he declared for Bute prohibition and began ramping on Governor Patterson's trail. While no downright ferocity like that observable In recent Geor gia politics has developed, a suffi ciently exciting campaign is now in progress. The outcome will be worth watching: "The Charlotte Otiaerver has overlooked the fact that Hoke Hmlth was born in North Carolina." Upartanburg Herald. To th Charlotte Observer; Don't yon know that Hoke Smith was bom in North Carollnar'-Charleiiton News and Courier. And this after we have stood ready for years, most of all when he waa riding his highest. Instantly to con cede the notorious Georgia dema gogue to whatsoever State would put In a claim. Why knowingly tread upon aa amiable neighbor' corn 7 ' However, we find consolation In the thought that North Carolina, which has given birth to distinguished men without number, can bear this mis fortune far better than could any other State, South Carolina Included. After seeing the pictures of Mr. Gunness we have about come to the conclusion that tbe chap who court ed her for her supposed wealth didn't get much more than they - deserved.

Dr, Lanarum, a oonscrvaive naywoi inter who stands high In Atlanta, was for Smlch strong. Only one preacaer who Is well known stood for Brown, and he was Rev. Dr. White, castor of Joe Brown. which makes his stand easy to ex plain. The Atlanta Georgian, a pro hibition paper, though avowedly neu tral, was in its every fibre fighting tooth and nail for Brown and doing everything in Its nower to aid in his election. Hoke Smith himself declared that The Georgian stood for Brown that he knew of it, and he wanted his friends to know it, and shortly af ter this speech the Georgian was re fused all news at the Smith head quarters until the paper should de clare outright for Brown. Smith' in his speeches made stinging attacks on Fred Seely .the owner and editor of The Georgian. Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, also worked hard for Governor Smith, but In vain. KANSAS WOMEN' IX OFFICE.
