BRYAN AND TAFT EV THIS STATE, It la of peculiar lnteraat and sig nificance that Mr. Bryan's majority over Mr. Taft In North Carolina In tha recent election, according to the finding of the State board of elec tion, printed elsewhere this morning. Is only 12,843, a falling off of nearly fifty per cent from the Democratic' majority of four years ago. In 190 Judge Parker's majority In the State over Roosevelt was 41,67. What Is even more significant Is the fact that ta total vote for President east In the State la 114 was 206. 5S, while this year the total vote was 2 1.011. an lnoreasa of nearly fifty thousand votes, all of which and more, were oast for tbe-Rapubllcan candidate. In ltOt the total vote cast for President In the State was l2.66t. and Mr. Bryan's majority was 24.671. In the recent election Mr. Kltehln ran li.it t votes ahead of Bryan. The figures, taken In connection with the loss of three Congressmen, are full of Instruction for the Democratic party. "Whether or not the lesson will be taken to heart Is another matter. A TIMELY WARNING. It was an excellent communication on the reign of lawlessness that MY. Jonathan Peele, Senator-elect from Scotland, wrote for yesterday's Ob server. The disregard of law in the Pmith, In our own State along with the others, la something appalling. Mr. Peele" statement that the law as to challenges in capital cases works . great Inequality, giving the defend ant nndue advantage oyer the State, fs correct, and In the cause of Justice 'this law should be amended by the legislature at it csmlng session. It makes escape from the consequences - of crime too easy and is thus encour agement to its commission. In addi tion to this, all those who believe in the observance of law and the ad ministration of justice should cry aloud and spare not. Of late It seems to have come to be regarded In North Carolina that all offences exoept liquor -selling are venial. (Murder has ceased to attract much attention un less the victim Is "prominent," as all Georgia victims sre, but the' blind tiger is a culprit to be pursued re lentlessly and punished mercilessly, while the weightier matters are In large part overlooked or the punish ment allotted, if there be any at all. 1 insufficient, to our scandal as a peo ple and to the peril of society. Mr. Peele has put his finder on the spot and regard should be given his words. A HELPFUL MKET1NG. Much benefit must result from the forestry conference at Blltmore last week, which was promoted by Dr. C. A. Schenck, the forester of the Bllt more estate and a recognised author ity on the subject. The regret la that the attendance from North Carolina was not larger. The Object which the rneetlng was Intended to promote Is one of prime Importance. It Is a , characteristic of human nature that it Is little appreciative of those gifts of God whlen are necessary to our existence and which are showered upon us In profusion, until the menace of their exhaustion threatena Provi dence endowed North Carolina richly In forestry and by r'-i-klesa waste we e the supply decline, but the situa tion has not yet become so acute as te have aroused our juopie as a whole to the necessity for (.-onsrvlng It. We are so accustomed to it as never to have properly valued It. ut It Is . boped that an Influence -w hich will be valuable will go out from thla Bllt more conference. To even direct the .public mind to the subject Is of ac count. - " With a fine State and county pride . Iffrv fSrwla A. Holt, of Burlington. Alamance eonnty, has gotten out a erica of postcards of the Battle of - (Alamance, the first battle of the Revolution, .fought between the patriot Regulators and the British, May Ifth,. 1JT1, and of the monu ment at Burlington which commemo rate tbs event. : The card showing the battle is from the scene as It ap pear in EUl HUrtory Our Coun try and from the original drawing of J.

' ' -. . -: - In view of tha fat that ftn agree ment to respect fte territorial fight of each Other baa been, arrive at be tween the United Etate and Japasj it Is hoped that Capt. Klchmoad Pear, son Hobs on will not puU off hla war tetve-n ' two r:fv,t awey. - . - COLD BlKJULsYCZi OK OUR JINGO. "With the United State government reaching aa amicable agreement la treaty form with Japan, the Hon. Richmond P.' Hokson will either have to soars up soma new enemy or else subside a a professional Jingo. iAs formidable enemies for the United States are scarce and bard to find, there is excellent prospect of -relief from hla outcries. He can now do little more than proclaim the need ef this eountry going armed Jto the teeth against the world In general. No on who rationally argues for a strong national armament will find his position controverted by us. Re cent event In southeastern Europe must have made It clear to all who are not wilfully and Incurably blind that the most solemn pledge .between nations cannot long poasesa unques tioned validity exoept as armed power stands behind them. Those events, indeed, have given the whole peace cause a setback and led the smaller nations of Europe, like Holland and Belgium, to look with peculiar anx iousnes to their defences. Any na tion whose wealth or territory pre sents a tempting field for attack must be on its guard even where bal ances of power operate as a protec tion. The predatory instinct is still alive; the millennium continues far distant. Poor eld China should alone furnish a sufficient object-lesson of this nature. We do not think It wise for tha United States ever to drop below third place among naval pow ers, and we favor maintaining the present army, or, rather, skeleton for an army, In some sort of numerical relation to the growth of the coun try. But we see no earthly occasion for wild talk about billion-dollar naval appropriations or going pre pared to lick the earth. It I simple fact that the United States, notwithstanding the great wealth which might under different clroumstances present strong tempta tion, constitute for any Important na tion about the most undesirable antag onist to be found anywhere. Primar ily, of course, this is due to the coun try's geographical position, separated by an ocean on each side from the armed nations of Europe and the armed nation of Asia, A navy of very moderate sixe would afford as suranoe against the Infliction of Ir retrievable defeat before the national resource were brought, with in creasing effectiveness, to bear. We enjoy, multiplied manyfold, England's advantage of Insular position. And the national resource behind our outer line of defence or offence are equaled nowhere else tn the world. Modern war hinges upon men, ma chinery and provisions the second and third no less vitally essential than the first. In machinery (by speedy conversion when necessary) and pro visions we are already ahead and In men great numerical strength and nat ural aptitude would go far to over come the deficiencies of hasty train ing In the earlier stages of a war. We, the Inherently efficient peoples of western Europe transplanted to a vast continental area of limitless re sources, have built up an Industrial structure which can be turned on no very long notice Into a war machine of almost Inconceivable power. Our territorial immensity would of Itself render effective occupation by an enemy Impossible. In the end the en emy, or any combination of enemies within the range of possibility,' would. it appears certain, be worn down to the point of repentance. The tem porary conquest of American Insular possession might take place without affecting the final outcome. Last, but perhaps moat Important of all as a deterrent to attack by any Important power or powers. Is the place which the United States occupy In the industrial economy of the world. While Europe is not so de pendent upon u for foodstuffs as It was before the grain lands of Canada and Argentina were opened. It la still dependent In no small degree, and in the matter of cotton for Its spindle it dependence Is extreme. Close American port to cotton export and, as in England during our civil war, distressing conditions would prevail in all the great industrial countries of Europe those countrle which have come to draw their living In large part from our soil. In ome coun trle the condition created by a great American war with any country whatsoever might lead to social revo lution. Japan, barely staving off financial collapse now, would lose in us not only an Increasingly Important source of raw material but her best customer. For any conquest-seeking nation this country la. we repeat, the most undesirable antagonist oa the face of the earth. By all means let's have a strong and efficient navy, but a navy along world-licking line would simply be an enormously -.expensive superfluity. We trust that the understanding with Japan will operate a at leaat a tem porary suppression of the noisiest American jingo,, Jeems Woodward la drawing the la sue sharply between the plain-people drunk who disport himself on th street and eU pulled by the cop and th aristocratic drunk who hold forth in club and otheraplace where cop molest not.

We marvel to find that In the im mediate literary jurisdiction of The New York; Sua near-poetry is so much Without honor as this proceeding would Indicate. Evidently the more barbarous portion of the population ha never even beard of It. Commis sioner of Lunacy Ferris, in particular, can not once have fallen under the spell of near-song as loftily exempli fied here and there throughout the country. The fame of this aefaool, to which Breach manifestly belongs, must a yet lie beyond the intellec tual range of the average uncultivated Easterner.

BEAR CAUSED CONSTERNATION. Negroes Gathered at Obarch For In to Be a Spectator Bride and Groom Take Lodging Under mo Church. Special to The Observer. , Ooldsboro, Nov. 28. A wedding ceremony of unusual occurrence was performed laat night, the parties be lng colored, and at one period it seem ed a If the bridal couple would have to put their wedding oft to a future date. The scene was at a little cburch about three miles east of Ooldsboro, near a small colored settlement. All the invited guests had arrived and were waiting for the bridal couple to make their appearance, which was not a very long delay, a the couple oon arrived; and after receiving the con gratulations of the "gold old broth ers and sister," it was then announc ed that the officiating minister was ready to perform the ceremony that would make them man and wife. Gath ering around the altar the wedding; party announced themselves as ready for the ceremony to proceed. Tha preacher was In the act of opening hi Bible to commence the ceremony when to his surprise one of the guests, who was sitting to the left Of the altar, and not very far from a win dow, wax seen to make a sudden dive for the window and so far noth ing ha been heard to indicate nis when a bouts. At this juncture a scream was heard from the front of the church, afid looking that way the first thing that met the old parson's gase was the head and shoulders of a large white bear coming through the doorway. By this time the whole church was In an uproar and everybody was either making for the back door or going through the windows, and in less than two minutes the besr had the whole church to himself. - In a few minute the owner of the brute, too traveled around with him to make a living, arrived on the cene and took the animal away with him, the bear hav ing wandered away while he was sleeping, after a long day' walk through the country. One of the guest who had been a little braver than the other had re mained on the scene, and when the owner of the bear had passed out of sight, after eearchlng for w)illo, found the bride and groom -under the nhnifh and after assuring: them that the bear wa no longer near, at last persuaded them to come out irom their place of concealment, and after searching; for quite awhile the preach er was found and arter a lew nec nrv riolava the ceremony was at las .

"The election of Judge Taft ha flvn great satisfaction In North Carolina to people of all parties," said Judge 2eb Vance Walser, former At torney General of that State, at the Raleigh yesterday afternoon, "es pecially to the Democrat who did not vote for him but prayed that he might d elected. "All lines of business as a result of his , election ara booming. In my town of Lexington a new $250,009 cot ton mill is about to be built. Judge Taft'a tour of our SUte did great good. Wo by that I mean the Re publicans increased our vote from 82,000 in 1904 to about 115,000. North Carolina Is naturally Repub lican anyhow, and the manifestation of friendliness on the part of Judge Taft ha set the tide atrdngly our way. I would not be surprised to see a member of the Cabinet selected from our State. You see, we elected three Congressmen. We hope to elect five or six two years hence and carry the State. North Carolina was an old Whig State, and our people have al ways, in the main, believed in protec tion. "The recognition of the South," continued Judge Walser, "at the coun cil table of the President would be a death blow to the traditions of South ern Democracy and the 'solid South.' Judge Taft was surprised at the Im mense enthusiasm all along the Jour ney through the State. Ho could hardly have expected It. At my home , ' "' ' ' - -' " ee him.

' "i. believe Judge Taft will carry on the great work begun by President Roosevelt of Republlcanlaing the South. He Is personally popular with all classes of our people, more so, I think than Mr. Bryan. It was these elements of personal popularity in our section that caused Senator Butler and myself to suggest to Judge Taft and President Roosevelt two years ago the Idea of Judge Taft going to Greensboro to make ftn address be fore the State convention. President Roosevelt heartily concurred in the Idea." PREACHER ROASTS GOVERNOR. Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, De nounced From the Pulpit a a Drunkard, Gambler and Libertine Who Siiould He Impoaubed. Murfreesboro, Tenn., Dispatch, 20th. A sensation was created here to day by a sermon delivered by Elder R. E.

It is said that he charged that th Governor is utterly unworthy of the trust placed In him by the people of the State. It Is alleged that he stated that Gover nor Patterson 1 a drunkard, a liber tine, a gambler, and that he accept ed and used $10,000 paid him as a salary that he did not earn and also expressed the opinion that the Gov ernor should be impeached. A number of persona showed disap proval of bis utterances by leaving th church.

To the Editor of The Observer I . have been reading In The Observer about the tax problem. I have a plan fifteen 6r twenty years old which Is In short this: A division of all taxable property. Let the 8tate collect for State purposes on all things that now are or that may . hereafter become taxable, except "real estate, tnclud. lng tha poll tax, railroads, oor- poratlons, banks and all kinds of personal property, at any rata that 1 necessary. If any I left turn It ever to the public echool fund. Let the countle tax land and all real estate for eounty purposes and ppbllo schools, county lm provement bonds, etc Then each county could more effectually value the land more unlformtly and fair. On county could value without any regard to th value In any other eounty, the rate to be whatever la necessary; th cities to make assessments for city purposes by their own assessor and for special taxes th rate to be as th cities may vote, a now by authority of th Legislature.

II Kyu ILv, .: LAW AGAINST WOTGUStV Bin canina; For Saab In Rere! t Stat Institution t B Introdnood am LeglaUUure. To the Editor of The Obeervert - I note that the leading editorial in to-day Raleigh New and Observer 1 entitle) "Tolerate No Nepotism. " This In substance 1 th advice civ. en to th Democratic administration of Nebraska. But bow about North Carolina r The writer was told by the bead of a leading Stat institution In North Carolina only a few months ago that he was troubled by nepotism on th part of the board of director of th institution in charge of. which ho had been placed, and that ho wished to get rid of these people This Information was volunteered In the course of remark endorsing the following resolution passed by th North Carolina Association of th Deaf In convention at Raleigh last August: "Resolved. That It I th opinion of this association that it should b un lawful for any board of directors of any Stat Institution to elect to office or employment In the institution of which they have charge any relative by blood or marriage to any member of tn board or of the superintena ent." This resolution was adopted be cause of the criticism so general of th management of the North Caro Una 8chool for th Deaf and Dumb at Morganton for practicing nepotism. At on time no less than four out of even member of the board had from one to three relatives employed In th school. On bad two son and a nephew, one a neice and a nephew, one a daughter and another a daugh ter employed and a son entered as a pupil who had no right under the law to be there. These are Instance of which I have personal knowledge. I have heard rumors of others. I propose to ask for th Introduction of a bill in the next Legislature car rying out the Idea expressed in the above resolution and I shall rejoice to have the aupport of The Observer and of The New and Observer and other papers to secure Its passage. ROBERT S TAYLOR, Seoretary North Carolina Association of the Deaf. Mount Olive, Nov. 21th. ANTIDOTE FOR PESSIMISM. Author of Verse of "ThanVsKlvliig" Accused of Having a Grouch Against Everybody and Everything Trench's Porm as Relief. To the Editor of The Observer: The author of th verses . on "Thanksgiving," whleh-'appeared on the editorial page of The Observer on Thanksgiving Day, seems to have a grouch against everybody and every thing if his rhymes are to b taken serlouvily, and I suppose, from i the very intensity of hi expression, that b Intended them to be so. Perhaps, if he read the editorial In the same Issue of The Observer wherein th dltor show that we should be thank ful not so much for what the Creator ha done for us a for what' He ha not done to u according to cur de serts, he has already become softened and feels that he has something to be thankful for. Supposing this to be true, and hoping to help along th good work, I submit the follow ing poem by Richard Chevenix Tronoh a an antidote for that pes simistic feeling expressed in the verses referred' to: "Some murmur, when their sky Is clear And wholly bright to view, If but one speck of cloud appear In their gnat heaven of blue. And some with thankful love are filled. If but one ray of light , One beam of God's good mercy, gild The darkness of their njgh. t In palace are hearts that ask. In discontent and pride. Why life Is such a dreary task. And all good thing denied; While hearts In poorest huts admire That love ha tn their aid. Love that not ever seems to tire. Such rich provision made. W. J. PRATT.
