We view with pieased Interest the remarkab!eprogress of ttiu practical programme for peace" us out lined, organized and promoted by Mr. Hayne Davis, a North Carolinian now resident In New Vork. .Jr. Davis, Who la an unselfish worker for the removal of the causes leading I' war among nations and lias been officially Identified In vi ry important capaci ties with the international arbitration iinOVC-ment, tome time an" conceived tha Idea that u.id.r present conditions effective arbitration and adequate armament must go hand hi hand. The ultimate aim, of course, is abolition of tho need for armament, but so Ions as the need dearly exists misguided antagonism can only prejudice the whole peace cause with practical men nd render any prourew at all dlfll Ctllt. Reserving the right t ke. p tiie means of armed defence, nations should at the same time expressly recognize and aar.-e m r .perl such Vital rights of ein h older as territory and sovereignty, providing r pi rately for the arbitration of all minor ques tion". .With llif .. JjCiiinutina of iliia Idea in Mew Mr. liavis recently or ganized a peace congress, for North Carolina at Wilmington. As an out growth from the North Carolina, con gress there has come about the I'cace and Arbitration League, In which Mr. Davis has just caused himself 10 be succeeded as president by Senator James B. McCrcary, of Kentucky. We now learn through New York dis patches that President Koosevelt has accepted the honorary presidency of the league and, In a letter to Mr. Da vis, expressed cordial commendation Of what Is becoming known as "die North Carolina Idea " Support like this means something The modest beginning at Wilmington has bail a really remarkable ceipi 1. That peculiar sm'iiillcruo e attaches to the President's course in thus per sonally and officially committing him self is made dear by Senator M Creary. "The Importance "f the President's action In nun ua li!i'-l ly as sociating lihn-c If with the peace league and with it. programme." said Mr. McCreary as recently quoted. "Is manifest. The full jdxnltirancc of his act, however, depends upon viewing It in the ifcht of the ruct that the Anglo-Fr neh" form for arbitration treaties, which has boen the most popular in Kuropc heretofore, re nerves, among other things, a; ques tions affecting the vital Interest of the contracting power The Presi dent ha now throvn his Influence On the side of those Americans who demand that all governments express ly recognize and .agree t,, respi et the most vital rignift or nations; that k their territory and sovereignty, and at the same time provide for the ar bitration of all oilier questions, upon this guarantee, tin a safe foundation for International Justice. The ap proaching North Carolina congress trill take place at ("ireensboro. Octo ber 11-16. at which time thai city will be celebrating Its centennial. This will be the first peace congress In America at which the advocates of 'national armament and Interna tional arbitration stand Fide by side on the gam.; platform ns mutually helpful exponents of the two correla tive and Inseparable agencies for se curing peace and juitice in the Inter national rea'm," We are pleased with the rapid progress of ihis movement both be cause lt objects commend themselves to our Judgment a genuinely benefi cent and for reasons of State patriot lam.: The next meeting of the North Carolina Peace Congress In Greens boro next October will lack neither .interest nor importance. ' The Oaffney, s. c.. Ledger foresees -lki f-tf-Tfir Wigs rver w iSf claim that. Deacon Hemphill, of The Char leston Kes and Courier, was horn In NorthL jParoUni: 'ot unUL-Uhe Deacon acquires more regard for the gacrennesi of "established historical truths; and learns to treat this paper more mannerly. The Independence party declare j8 Its platform for the initiative and rot' erendum and th fight of .recall but doesn't malce the sKghteet' reference to our oJd friead the. Imperial man date. That noble principle " seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. BOSTAXD'S JTATCKJE fake. v A. play wlt cast comprised entirely.- of birds and animals will be ih sensAtion of the coming theatrical season. It not only has this unique feature '.but comes from the pen of no - lesa a ' dramatise than Edmond Rostand and.-brlnga the record price of 50,000 for, author's royalties. Ex treme Jealousy of his reputation has kept the oreator of 'L'AiTlon"-from offerlns; any play since Sarah Bern hardt preaented. tola wonderfuli-COHr ception of the fll-starred eon -of Na poleon the eaglet who pined away and dk-d in splendid Austrian captiv ity before reaching manhoods Now, after having begun and discontent edly cast aside several plays, the dra matist dons the comedian's most fan tastic sock and comes with "The Chanticleer." The scene is laid In a farm yard and the hero Is hone other than the feathered songster who winds his bugle horn at all hours of the day and early morning. Appear - ing as the heroine will be the golden pheasant. Other fowls, watch dogs, etc., play their parts, and It is easy to guess ihat the actors will And the ' physical difficulties great. In the play, which takes the form of verse, Rostand hus apparently produced u charmingly woven web of poetry and philosophy by thus reducing certain traits of human nature to their sim plest terms. He has puc on the stago a comedy such as wise men with the supreme gift of true humor have until now written for mere reading. The English version will be made In verse by Louis N. Parker, the trans lator of "L'Aiglon." It Is planned to have London and New York produc tions almost simultaneous with the Parisian premiere. We only hope xnai production in i..lo ..u.... " ' " not be forbidden on the ground that the affair Is a shameless nature fake and as such falls under presidential or (supposing Mr. Taft elected) ex presidentlal ban. THi: IXDKPKNDKNCIO PLATFORM. Anybody who wants to vote a really rank ticket this year has only to sup port that of the Independence League, If Its platform Is representative of Its candidates. Declaring tout its "object is not to Introduce vlolenc Innova tions or startling new features." It proceeds to pronoun?e for the Initia tive and referendum and the right of recall; that no Injunction shall Issue except after trial by Jury; for govern ment ownership of railroads and tele graph lines and for "the popular elec tion of I'nited States Senators and of Judges, both Slate and Federal," which language includes, of course, the Judsoi nf the Supreme Court of the I nllcd States. All this after Ih" declaration that "It Is not our pur pose to attempt to revolutionize the American iatcm df government but to restore the action of tho govern ment 'to the principles of Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln;" and that "it is not our purpose, either, to ef fect a radical change In the American system of government." This is a day of frenk politics and novel cults, and from amongst the many parties which are offering their wares to the public any man. no mat ter how exacting, ought to bo nhje to (lnd something to tiult him. The Observer appears to have been excessively charltablo In discrediting the report sent out from Lincoln, Neb..- more than A week ago that a Southern mnn would not be favored for chairman of the, national Demo cratic committee cm account of the Month's attitude toward the negro. The report was given out by the As sociated Pre.ss and as The Norfolk Landmark says, "in view of the pub lication of the telegram in every city In the country, it is due to tho South Ihat the candidate deny the report If it Is Incorrect. His denial would be accepied nn closing the Incident; his failure to deny would have the oppo site effiM t." Hut ten days have elapsed anil there has been no denial. The Richmond Tlmes-Dlspatch asks: "Is the constant writing of Mr. Bryan's front name us 'WHyum' really as humorous as Harper's Weekly seems to think It 17" You can hardly ever tell about these things When the lion. Poultney Iligchlw was much In the public' eye on account of his Panama canal ex pose. The Orwerver dubbed him Poul try P.igeiow. We thought this was very hire but a brutal contemporary referred to the designation and said it was nt funny tit all. This did not discourage The Observer In the least but it kept oft calling him Poultry as long n lie was before the footlights and doesn't know to this duy whether it was funny or not. A Washington dispatch of yesterday a;. s that "according to Representa tive Lloyd, of i ssouri. jthiilrman of the Democratic congressional commit tee, the Democrats will control the next House of Representatives and will get a majority west of the Alle gianles" It la to be sincerely hoped that this is a correct forecast. If the Demoi rats get nothing else out of the. fall elections the result. If they carry the House of Representatives, will still be great. And so the Kngllh millions of which report made John Wood heir turn out to be mythical. Having tkf u. owu stMU4gv ia H stas lira ring up bravely at last accounts All the name. It Is ope of the greatest pities on record ihat the report should prove falsi. - Ala, alas, alas! Whatever part Mr. Hearst's dollars may have played In drumming up delegates. It must be admitted that his crowd made a pretty fair show at Chicago for a bran-new national party. , . We would have been almost heart busted If Col.

It would be an odd turn in tha politics of this nation If the two great parties reached a point -wiiere ukj bid against each other lor the colored vote of the doubtful States of the North. There are many intelligent Republicans who are convinced that the unjustifiable course taken by the President In the Brownsville riot was Intended as a cheap hid lar Southern votes, and who would regard the defeat Of Taft by Northern negro ballots as a richly deserved re taliation.'' We do not believe that the Presi dent had any such design In- the Brownsville matter as that with which he is here charged but that he j acted upon an honest, and correct, conviction.

Greenville, S-'C News. , ' ,' -. Mr. John Wood, of Greenville,- who was reported last week - as having come into a 'vast fortune through a" English estate, stated yesterday that much . to hi ' regret he was obliged to deny the rumor. He Is entirely, at a loss to discover how the story start ed. Mr. Wood aald. however, ,that he appreciated greatly the . many con gratulations he had received and wished that they- coald have " had more substantial grounds. - '.'This thing of being a millionaire." Mr. Wood aald, "Is elegant. It re freshing, invigorating and a bit in toxicating. I have always heaTffT;Bar people in - the .seven figure class, in which the Roanoke, Va.. paper placed me. were bothered with all sorts of problems. I did not finer it so. I had all the sensations without the worry of having to care for a single jent. For twenty-four hours before the bal loon came down, I experienced all the Joys of a philanthropist, a humani tarian, a Carnegie, a man of public spirit, a financier. I built orphanages, endowed colleges, owned baseball teams, erected new hotels, paid the dues of those who could not afford to Join -the board of trade, contributed to charitable organizations and bought a string of newspapers. The lady in Pennsylvania who wrote me for aid in publishing her book of poems, and setting the words to music was started on the .golden road to fortune and to fame. The Greenville horse show was to be a gigantic ex hibition under roof. Main street was to be paved in Wood block. The new bridge over Reedy river was to be of steel, symbolical of the lasting fibre of the Wood love for Greenville. In short, the dream was elastic 'to a degree: ' "And. now? The end has come. The bubble has hursf. The roan who Raid the lady told him I had inher ited this fortune says he never said It and thus the story ends. But, It was tine while It lasted. And now, as my ancestry have been brought Into this predicament, I feel that I should add that they, as far as I know, never did any one harm intentionally, and that they were exceedingly careful as to leaving fortunes. They, however, would have scorned to refuse any thing they could hnn.-stly acquire and I have no hesitancy In declaring that I have inherited that trait to a mark ed extent. "None would more cheerfully as sume the worries of the haunted mil lionaire if called upon to do so in a bona fide manner. And in conclu wlon, since you have asked for a full and honest expression, please say that those who wish replies to letters of congratulation or condolence, should enclose postage. Even million aires are unable to induce the Post office Department to accept newspa per stories for stamps. And, as the curtain falls to slow music, allow me lo say that I have really enjoyed the experience and that public opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, wind pudding Is palatable." A Rl'RKK TUT CLUR. Regular Republican Organization Formed at Morganton Eight Dem ocratic Candidates For County Treasurer In the Field Remains of John W order lo Re shipped lo -New Vork Slate. Kpecial to The Observer. Morganton. July 29. The Repub-1 licans arc beginning to get busy In Hurke county. Last night at tha court houso a regular Taft Club was organized. There was present about fifty Republicans, of ' Morganton, and the near-by vicinity. The Morgan ton Hand furnished music, and Char lie McKesson opened with a short talk. They then proceeded to form a regular organization. Mr. Sam Huffman was elected president. Dr. A. M. Dula. secretary, and W. W. McCall, treasurer. Before the meet ing adjourned Postmaster D. C.

The Re publicans expect to put out a full tlvket In Rurke this year, and make a hard tight. The office of county treasurer of Rurke county seems to have a charm, which no other office in this county possesses.

Ti e Observer: It was stated In The Observer a few days ago that thousands of Democrats In and around Charlotte would simnort Taft for President. Without nssumlng to dictate the political opinions of such recalcitrants, I would suggest that they delay a final rifkflutnn Ci t thin matter until they have Investigated tho religious beliefs ot the aroresaia geniieinao. I am reliably Informed that he Is a Unitarian, and if so he does not be lieve in the divinity of our blessed Lord, and certainly no Christian, no matter what his political opinions may be, can support any man for of fice in the gift of the American nonTilp who denies the divinity of the Son of God, who has so signally blessed our country ana us lnsmu tlons until it has become the greatest power In existence.
