Tha people of the Ptate should be well acquainted with the facta which were et forth In an article from The . StatesvlHe Landmark, which was re produced In yesterday's Observer with 'regard to the operation of the Ptati Hospital Commission authorized by ' act of the last Legislature and .to which an appropriation of a half mil lion dollars was made by the came General Assembly. The Idea was to take .care of the epileptic and Insane, persona of the Kate, and the un pleasant truth ought to be made known that though that appropria tion was made more than a year and a half ago not a single Insane or epileptic person has benefited by that act This Hospital Commission, ow ing to differences among Its own members with regard to the estab lishment of a colony for epileptics some of its members wishing It to be established on grounds adjacent to the State Hospital at Raleigh, and at least one of its members desiring It to be located in Cumberland county has done nothing with reference to this particular class of unfortunates, and has done nothing to reliive the Insane In general except to have ap proprlated approximately $80,000 for a building for one hundred men ftt Raleigh, while refusing an appro prlation of 130.000 for buildings which . would accommodate a hundred men at Morganton. Meantime lot It be understood that this commission has given $SJ,00D of Its fund to the negro Insane asylum at Ooldsboro. To build at Morganton Is cheaper than to build at Raleigh; patients are supported at less cost at Morganton than they are at Raleigh; the State line establishing to which institution "shall go gives the great preponderance of the State population to the Mor ganton Hospital, and yet for the tak ing care of the insane the roollsh proposition is made by this State Hos pital Commission that Morganton ahall have no further appropriation! until the accommodations at Raleigh are made equal to It. We want the people of the western part of tin- State whose Insane sub ject -are confined in jails, in their homes, or are roaming at large, to know that the two western members of tha Hospital Commission, Mr, C. A. Webb, of Aahevlllc. and Mr. J. H. Weddlngton, of Charlotte, protest against this condition, but are the minority of a body composed of five members, the other members bringi Mr. W. A. Erwin, of Durham: Mr. E. T, Aydlett, of Pasquotank, and Ir J W. McNeill, of Cumberland, We ' reprobate and despise any (sentiment of rivalry between tho ninUm and western sections f North Carolina. What la here said is not said In the lightest spirit of hostility toward tha State Hospital at Raleigh an ad mirably conducted institution but In the Interest of a- gbod understanding and forsthe cause of common justice. Mr. William J. Bryan has been a leng time before the public, ills whole life has been, under the closest kiuuii), una we ctujiioi conceive mat any one regards him. other than as a . perfectly honest man. If it were not t fof the asperity of party no one would ever accuse him of contracting or maintaining an unworthy personal or party association. Concerning the man Haskell the case against him hat, hot been fully established. He may or may not lie guilty. At all events' it Is to be said In justice to hfm that he has resigned. As to Mr. -. flmn W An nnt Vheltev for a mn. . ment, jior believe that any other fair minded person believes, that he ever had ft- doubt about Haskell's perfect Integrity. -1 ' " ' , The Torkvtrie, 8.

No where la he so nearly unanswerable aa when he asks whether the Presi dent' la "willing to say that any pub lic Interest was served in 1194 by con cealing until after the election thai contributions made to tha Repubil can campaign fund by Mr. Harrlman and those collected by him from others?' . . It will be recalled that all too late after Mr. Roosevelt's vehe' ment and politically effective denial of kludge Parker's utterance alleging en understanding between bla ad ministration and the special Inter ests . undeniably financing his cam' palgn certain published letters told the trne story. Earlier In the cam paign Mr. Roosevelt had written E H. Harriman an Invitation to visit the White House and consult over what the President's next message to Congress should say. upon railroad problems, and the magnate thus pro pitiated had raised 1260.000 for the Roosevelt campaign fund among his Wall Street associates. That the President did not deliver the goods is well from the public standpoint his thirst for fame as the greatest of reformers protected the country here; but his moral obliquity was on this account more rather than less. The life Insurance scandals and resulting investigation showed that the law breaking financiers in charge of the big companies had emberzled from the widow and the orphan to swell the enormous Roosevelt campaign fund by yet other hundreds of thou sands. In these matters, as In many others, Mr. Roosevelt personally em ployed and sanctioned for his own nterest practices at which he would be the first to roar condemnatlo.1 when employed or sanctioned by othera. Mr. Roosevelt will hardly attempt any answer to Mr. Bryan's query about the 104 campaign con troversy as seen In the light of sub sequent rev-latlons. The bearing of those revelations upon the present campaign and upon the respective at titudes of the two parties toward campaign contribution publicity is well shown by Mr. Bryan. "Mr. Taft." he observes, "has repudiated the action of the convention and re buked the members of the committee by declaring himself in favor of a publicity law, but he favors public ity after the election while we favor publicity before the election. Which do you regard as the better plan; to let the people know before the elec tion what Influences are at work or j to let them know after the election?" The extreme polntedness of this ar gument, with its citation of Mr. Roosevelt's and the Republican party's recent past, can neither be overlook ed nor denied. Light did not penetrate the dark places of 1904 In time to benefit Judge Parker, but the things revealed should go a long way four years later to ward assuring the triumph of the Democratic party through Mr. Bryan. GOV. HASH EI J8 BrOTESSOR. The selection and acceptance of Hermann Rldder, publisher of The New Yorker Staats-Zeltung, as Demo cratic campaign treasurer Is bound to i . . I'i'hbr very greatly ail wno desire Democratic success in this election. Mr. Rldder, since Carl Schurz's death, might be termed the most Influential man among Americans of German nativity. For this reason, but still more because he stands for the best In American life end commands univer sal esteem, his official connection with the campaign will be a source of great strength. Hero is a man of solid character, ability and achieve ment the extreme anti-type of the shady promoter who was unhappily chosen at first and whom he suc ceeds. If without the Haskell enln1. he would not have been found In the forefront, the party may well bo said to have received more good than harm thereby. The new campaign treasurer known, moreover, as a lead ing conservative Democrat, his ap pointment and acceptance will place tho final seal of assurance upon effect ive party rr-unlon. We congratulate tho party and view the outlook with incrcas.-j hopefulness and cheer. In the Hotel Lobby column of The Wanhlngton post, of Saturday, Mr. Marshall McCirmlck. who Is men tioned as "a well-known lawyer of Berryville. Va.." is quoHed aa saying with regard to the matter of argument pending between the Prsldent and Mr. Bryant "The people will naturally believe the Prraldcnt before they be lieve Mr. Bryan." That Is not, the case. The whole public, without ref. erence to party differences, recognises Mr. Bryan as a truthful man. It Is a rlous thing to say about the Presi dent of the United States, but all the world knows that he is not a truth ful person that his character for truth Is bad. We are publishing elsewhere In this paper an article from The New Tork Herald which tells of a contribution of J 100.000 to the Republican cam paign fund In the last election, and of the President s great Indignation wh n he heard of this and of his de mand that the contribution be re turned. It was not returned, as ap pears by this publication, and it to a pertinent inquiry why this virtuous President of ours should retain Mr. Cortelyou.who got this money. 1a his Cabinet, when he, the President, knew of this contribution, or might have known of It . - . .. . We have fallen to a rather low plane of politics when a cheap poli tician 'cf a new State-may call the President of the United States ft liar and the public, be lft In doubt aa to Which U telling the truth.

Among the most salient points made by the South Caroline. alienist, who la fresh from study of the dlseaae la Italy, are that the cases In the South; now number probably not more than two hundred and'that the disease is not communicable from one person to another neither infec tious nor contagious. Most of the corn responsible for Southern pella gra he believes to have come from the West, and he suggests strict pure food regulations against all' sources of danger. This .infrequent but grievous disease has remained a mystery quite long enough, and in thrqwlng light upon it. Dr. Babeock renders the pub lic a. very real service. . : Spartanburg expects great things from the Carolina, -CUnchfleld & Ohio Railroad, which will not only con nect up by the allied Seaboard Air Line at Bostic with' Charlotte and Wilmington but build on toward Char leston. "In addition to the general benefits that will come from one more spoke in the hub of Spartanburg's railroads." enthusiastically says The Spartanburg Journal, "this line will open up to Spartanburg trade a sec tion of country that has heretofore been cut off on account of the lack of railroad facilities. The busliress of Rutherford county and the surround- ng region has heretofore gone to Charlotte on account of there being a railroad to Charlotte, although that city is about 60 miles distant Spar tanburg Is only half as far and with railroad connection that business will come here." The Journal's enthusiasm bubbles Just a little too high. Rutherford county business will hardly come by ay of Spartanburg when it can con nue coming direct The Edgefield (8. C.) News warns The Observer not to claim as a na ve of North Carolina J. W. Collier. Mississippi, who has just been ominated for John Sharp Williams' seat in the House. It makes a poor Muff of a claim that this person was born In South .Carolina. In the same connection The Fort Mill (S. C.) Times adverts to the fact that John Temple Graves was born in Abbeville county, 8. C, and seems to be afraid that The Observer Is going to claim him. Never fear. We put up no claim as to South Carolinians except those who have had sense enough to come to Charlotte and are properly asham ed of the State of their nativity and object to being known as having any association or kinship with the tight wads on the other side of the State line. The return of the old favorite! It Joys our heart to see In The Philadel phia Record that General E. Burd Grubb, some time Federal veteran and Republican Idol, Is seeking the Democratic 'nomination for Congress in the second (N. J.) district Much power to the elbow of General E. Hurd Grubb! THAI VINO TEACHERS. Sunday School Teachers Being Taught by Christian Church of Wlnston Nulcm Fire Graduates Given Di plomat. To the Kdltor of The Observer: DurlnK the past year the Sunday school of the Christian Church of Winston-Salem has conducted a" successful teachers' training class, taught by Dr. R. II. Jones. The text-book used was "Training For Service." the book of the first year in the standard course approved by the commit tee of the International Sunday School Association, and prepared by Herbert Monnlger, A. M., B. D.. of Cincinnati, O. The graduating exercises were held last Thursday night in the church. There were five graduates, J. L. Lashrolt, J. M. rowcll. R. C. Moore. J. C. Walker and Mrs. W. T. Hunt. Rev. H. A. McCul lough, of Albemarle, teachers' training secretary for this State, made the prin cipal address on "Better Teachers and How to Oet Tbem." It was a thoughtful appropriate discourse, emphasising, the In efficiency ol many Sunday school teach ers, who should be prepared as thorough ly as teachers In the public schools. Ws would not discourage what the teachers have done. They are the best workers In our churches. The only way we can get better ones is by training the ones we have. The teacher must know the Word of God In order to tesch It After the address Dr. R. H. Jones, In a brief, appropriate talk after referring to the comprehensive study of the Bible the course had given, then conferred tha di plomas granted by the International Sun day School Association through the asso ciation of the State. This event marks sn Important step In the Sunday school work of this Stale, be ing the first class graduated under the teachers training secretary. The training' or teachers is being emphasised as never before all over the country. About sixty thousand- among the Disciples ol Christ alone have been studying this course dur ing the past year. New classes win be enrolled at. this church on next Sunday. J. A. HOPKINS. Winston-Salem. September J6th. - Why Separate Headquarters Were opened, Durham Recorder.

I took off my hat, (brushed my hair again and then unbuttoned my coat Somehow I was afraid to sit down. I don't knowwhy but I was. However, knew that was the proper thing to do so that I could rise when the young woman appeared. I aat down and pondered, wondering whether she was primping or loading her pistol with buckshot. I got up and .walked around, afraid to go put lest she would wing ma on the retreat I sat down again. " "I would like to know what color of hair she has?" I said to myself. "By Gravy. I'm Beared." Cicero passed by the door, trotting like a horse getting ready for ft race. "She's comln'' he whispered.

I mean no harm to any one and I like to ride my horse. Do you ride for health or pleas ure?" A BROKEN PROMISE. "A little of .both." I saw that she was in earnest and promised that I would not do any thins she asked me not to. But as the days have gone y I concluded that a story would not hurt, therefore, I break my .promise.
