WXU MEANT, BUT A SAD ER noit. By fairly general ronsensus of opinion among outside newspa per, whether Republican or Lemo cratta. Northern or Southern, Presi dent Taft acted well In appointing a temocrt to the eastern Federal Judgeship. The farther away and ' the leas acquainted with State polit ical conditions, the more unqualified tha commendation. It In assumed . that Mr. Taft did not hesitate at giv ing and did give the Republican par- . ty of the State rough treatment, hut that rough treatment was deserved. In this view the North Carolina Re publican party stand on a general ewl with the Hepubllran party of moat ex-Confederate Southern States -alien to the people, respected by nobody, a petty machine for distri buting and holding Federal office. Many newspaper which had nev er fcefore given the North Car olina Republican party any par ticular attention inferred from the Connor appointment that It must be on of the worst of the lot. Where aome degree of acquaintance wits its numerical strength existed the slight was regarded a all the more pro nounced and, by clear Inference, all the mere an obviously merited dis grace. A Federal Judgeship In South Carolina, Alabama or other black belt and one-party State might have forte Democratic without attracting much remark presumably no Re publican Judgeship material and no Republican party, except in name; but the North Carolina Re publican party had made claim and those claims had been overridden with apparently Just contempt. By some of it was not overlooked, either, that North Carolina Republicanism got a much harder knock than even Alabama or Mississippi Republioan lam ever received; for In all previous caae of any Importance the Repub lican 'Presldt-nt appointee wag a man on the political border line, whereas Judge Connor lt a straight- out partisan Democrat holding high Democratic orlrce when appointed Neither could this appointment be deemed like the rare but not ua ; known overstepping of party lines In Northern States: for peculiar elrcum stances were lacking, and, besides here waa a question of discrediting party struggles upward. Most hear tlly pleased of all who have comment ed upon the appointment are various influential Republican newspapers up . North. These believe that Mr. Taft purpose breaking up organized Re S publicanlam In North Carolina, since any organisation formed from pres ' ont elements would inevitably be bad, and that he hope with good reason tO' Win the State by a direct appeal across the wreck which he has made Is all this shower of obloquy, most ly originating by natural but mistak v on inference from Mr. Taft's course, 'deserved by the Republican party of North Carolina? It I not. Two mo- .1 tiVea Impel us to the statement First we cannot let any conspicuous '- Injustice, intentional or otherwise, ' paaa unnoticed. Second, we reflect that North Carolina Republican- lsm'S wholesale disrepute con vey some disrepute upon the entire State, which last fall gave 4 Sill per cent, of its total popular vote to the Republican presidential , candidate and 41.86 per cent, to the Republican candidate for Governor. ' - That Mr. Taft's own party in North Carolina had excellent Judgeship ma- terlal, including men with records for ; credltabe service on the State Supreme t "and Superior Court benches, we re fare? as beyond question. Mr. Her- 7 bert jT.SeaweU, the choice of the Re- ' 'publican organization, is a lawyer of ability, character and standing; no one - acquainted with him per- - sonally or prof eaeionally doubts that he would have made a good Judge from bis Jlrst day and would have growtf constantly fn the office. Mr. Sea well's . appointment, made by an outgoing .Presideat, waa held up by tha North Carolina Democratic 8en : ators until a President considered not . unlikely to - appoint soma Democrat -had torn to. Democratic lightning rod rose on every-hand, and, sune enough, on waa struck. . IeV n Democrat whiiWiUi dlfflctrlty; -ireal-lzes what feeling this courM it eventa inevitably bred imagine himself a R ' ' publican. We do not approve but w understand and. respect the expre sions of ex-Judge TV. 6. O'B. Robin son, of Gold bo ro, a brave and sin cere , man: "I think that it was i direct Insult to every Republican law yer in the -district now see no reason why any selfrrespectln; gentleman should join the Republi can party in North Carolina. I do not hesitate to say that I shall relieve my sona from any filial obligation either to Join or remain In the party. My respect for the office of President of my nation ore vent me from speaking of Mr. Taft as my tnclina tion now would prompt me to do. I resented with due respect the slurs that were cast upon Mr. Taft when he was spoken of so disparingly by Democrats of high standing last year, but I rather think they were right in the eatlmate they then placed upon him. I aa ythls wltohut one word of criticism of Jude Connor. He is an honorable gentleman, a lawyer of ability and has no superior upon the bench of any State in the Union." Let It not be understood that we queatlon Mr. Ta(t'a motives, have any particular criticism for Senators Ov erman and Simmon, or regard Judge Connor's attitude as at all times otherwise thanperfectly proper. We do think, however, that the net re sult works a serlou wrong in some directions and therefore gives cause for regret. Widespread citation of Mr. Taft rebuking speech at Greens boro three years ago does not help matters a circumstance which leads us to say that the Republican party of the State, though still needing Im provement greatly, has grown much In behavior aa well as In numbers since the Greonsboro speech and that the blackguarding activities then at tending every contest for office did not attend the recent contest at all. The announced intention of Mr. Taft to set over the Southern people such officials as they desire In a word, to treat the South not a an alien dependency but aa fully part of the country no one welcomes more cordially than The Observer. His disposition to overstep party lines for Judgeship appointments we sym pathize with, and, as a general pol icy, quite approve. But statesman ship's wises plans will often go astray without tactful and open-minded rec ognition of such restraining or mod Ifyi:g circumstances as may uttond their execution. Mr. Taft, ordinarily tactful and open-minded enough, went far astray In this case. He gave pleasure to no large class among those acqu!inted with the real situation ex cept people who wish h!s plans not the slightest good. What Is here sifd sbout the matter we felt that we should say, and we feel greatly re llven after having said It. LAKE MOHOSR'S CONFERENCE. Of coura that address to be deliv ered at the fifteenth annual meeting of tha Lake Mohonlcwnference by Dean Klrchwey on "The Systematic Study of Limitation of Armaments" will be awaited with great Interest by those powers of Europe which are now striving with each other for suprema cy on the sea through Increased naval armament. They will be relieved 1o know that the address will be "strict ly International In character and without invective against any one na tion's particular naval policy." Our government, also, should rejoice at the consideration shown by the denn in determining not to make direct at tack on any one nation's naval policy. This great tact and tenderness on the speaker's part fur the feelings of the powers of Kurope will take a great load off the mind of the Washington government. It has no fear now of war simultaneously declared against our country by several countries of Europe. This great conservatism of the dean, however, if acted up to by the Mohonk conference, may cause failure In the undertaking of that con ference to bring about reduction In the military and naval armaments of the powers. Those two million dollars of stolen money which Vncle Sam made the sugar trust disgorge will wipe out mighty little of the Treasury's deficit and, of course, the consumers of the trust's production will be forced to make good the amount to the trust And the trust will conclude that while getting this back from the people it might as well go a little further and reimburse Itself out of their pockets for the trouble It has been put to In trying to keep the government from getting what was due. Therefore, we do not see how the people, whose in terest the government was protecting, are going to gain anything much by the transaction. The Pennsylvania hookworm Is very different from the one said to ex 1st in some sections of the South. It does not cause "that tired feeling" In It victims which produce dlslncltna tion for any kind of exertion. It sttnv ulates desire for activity of a pecu liar kind to hook on to any species o( graft which comes in its reach. Should Congress complete the tar iff bill and adjourn before the Fourth of July the country would celebrate the day with all the more seat. Don't talk about doing away with firework a an adjunct to the celebration until It Is absolutely certain that adjourn ment will not come until later. While the President Is being other wise honored In Charlotte trte com mittee of reception should not fall to make him a Signer at aight. Let us not anticipate had weather Thursday. It never did rain In Char lotte on the 5 Oth of May; let us be lieve that it never will. We don't want to bfag; but we must say that this town a how lit tap and frocked up it 'eJmply stunning. CONCERNING THE JOHN NT CAKE W recently bad occasion to de nounce The New Tone Tribune as, in ion res pacta, Tha Charleston News and Courier of th rNorth- That this denunciation waa richly merited ap pear from later development. With The Tribune as one low contracting party and The New and Courier as the other, a most unholy alliance has been formed to wrest the Johnny cake from our authority and make of it something seldom if ever eatan on land or sea. "Perhaps this is what come from that decay of old-time, strong-stomached Democracy which was shown In the last campaign by The Charlotte Observer when It contributed a Gan der to the support of Its own presi dential ticket," Insinuates the New Tork conspirator. Then another In sinuation that "the present wheat doughlnea of It intellect" cornea "aa punishment for mockery of the Dem cratlc "Elijah" a vlcloua dig prob ably suggested by ome respectful allu- lona to Mr. Bryan's growing baldness made by The Observer last fall. "Yet Colonel Hemphill," continues The Tribune, making open cause with the Charleston undesirable, "at once re sponded to our celebration of the johnny cake with the suggestion that it should always be made from the cornmeal of South Carolina, ground In the old water mills of Pickens county, turned 'by stream of clear water running through race lined with fern and grasses and under the shad of immemorial oaks.' Colonel Hemphill has a soul for the higher walks of Journalism, and we are doubly glad that with his cornfed philosophy he ia to enlighten the Yale boys next year concerning the profes sion which he adorns." Approving which In part, we shall only take is sue with a further statement that 'we have breveted the major a col onel, Just on 'account of his recentlr shown understanding of the nuances of Johnny cake." The msjor has lately deserved not promotion in rank but the reverse. Let him beware lest The Observer, which has already de graded him from an eldership to a dlaconate, degrade him from a ma jority to a captaincy also. The Tribune, growing desperate, drags In sundry dictionaries to show that Johnny cakes are made of corn meal as if we had written any dic tionaries or could Justly be held re sponsible for what a dictionary man says. And then this quotation from Joel Barlow's "Hasty Pudding" of more than a century ago: Some talk of hoecake, fair Virginia's pride; Rich Johnny cake this mouth has often tried. Both please me well, their virtues much the same. Alike their fabric, a allied their fame; Except In dear New England, where the lar Keoelves a dash of pumpkin In the pasta.' But haa The Tribune never reflect ed that neither its dictionary men nor Its near-poet came from the gas tronomically favored region to which we had reference? ' Incorrect usage may have developed elsewhere and may have gradually replaced usage originally correct. For argument's sake we accept the dictionary verdict concerning what usage prevails now In the country at large, but our sub ject-matter was the Johnny cake of the Southern Journey-cake period this etymology, hy the way, has never yet .been disputed. Southern, or at least North Carolina, Journey cakes were usually made of flour, not corn meal. And nothing could be more undeserved than The Tribune's re proach of "wheat-doughiness.'1 The N'orth Carolina Journey cake was not produced from the denatured and chemically bleached stuff which pass es as flour these days but from a flour containing the rich, nutty, brown heart. of the wheat berry; It made, when prepared aright, a food equally fit for heroes and gourmets. Perhaps the Agricultural 'Depart ment's recent step under the Fed eral pure-food law to stop bleaching practices in the interest of the pub lic health may bring this Journey cake Sack. We agree that the hoe cake and the corn dodger are all right, and even confess some curloalty to know how a Journey cake or Johnny cake made from corn meal would taate But the New York-Charleston swel- bund's arrogant assumption that the flour-made cake never existed only moves our pity and our scorn. The Norfolk Landmark says these Is much to support the prediction that Cuba will be "benevolently as similated" by the United States dur ing Mr. Taft's administration, which we take to mean that there will be a strong pull, a pull altogether and a successful pull on that political string commonly designated aa the Foraker amendment during the present admin istration. Past administrations have given the string a yank now and then and each one drew the island a little nearer, putting it In po sition where one more good, steady pull would accomplish the landing. The Landmark Is not alone in think ing Mr. Taft la the man who will make the final effort. Now For Political Shock Indicator. Wilmington Star. Some fellow has invented an earth quake Indicator which gives 11 min utes warning of aa impending shock.

To the Editor of The Observers It was with surprise and chacria that we perused the article la this morning Observer aa to what would be the product of planting an Ameri can flag in one of the garbage can alona- Sixth street, by Mr. B. F. Stokes We have put many of the best years of our live in the pay of the United States government a soldiers, and believe that we are safe from contra diction, when we say that the article referred to was the vilest and most uncalled for insult that waa ever of fered us in the guise of tha uniform, We think it waa a disgrace to the City of Charlotte, or to any American citizen to give public utterance to the effect that the content of the garbage can ot Sixth street, surmounted by an American Has;, would produce any such effects aa the writer predicts and we are personally of the opinion that It will produce nothing but insult to the flag, and the men who have defended it against Insult at every call for the past ten years. If war waa declared to-morrow we have not the least hesitation in say ing that the author of the article re ferred to would be glad to avail mm self of the protection of the ash can surmounted by the American flag, as he suggest. We have no doubt but that the men of the Immediate neigh borhood would rally to the support of the flag as quick If est, where he aug gest, if there waa a man calling, as they would M th writer waa with It on the ton of Gibraltar or its equal We are of the opinion that -the author of the article referred to 'la not an American citlsen. But should he be. we would respectfully request that he call at 18 West Fifth street and find (what it take to make a first-class soldier for service In the Philippine, auch a he suggests could be raised from the garbage can of Sixth street. We think that a single visit will convince him that it will take nothing more than the best of manhood, char acter and upright living to be a aol dler. We will say nothing more, not because we do not feel that we have more coming to us, but because we are of the opinion that the writer was not referring to the service with any evil intent but the remarks he made were through Ignorance of the mean Ing of his words.

The wise Solomon came right out and honestly admitted that there were some thing too hard for him. With all his wisdom, he found that he didn't know it ail. an(j acknowledge,! th corn BkB 4 man. If ha were! now liv ing h would be. compelled to add at least one more to his list of finite Incomprehensibilities. He would be compelled to admit that he couldn't foretell what a Legislature would do If any reader is Inclined to dlepute this proposition he has only to go over the records of what legislative bodies have done, and then he will ad mit that the ways of such bodies are past finding out, and their possible ac tion among the impenetrable myster ies of humanity. He will find that laws have been enacted which no pro cess of human ratiocination will en able him to explain or any principle of necessity or propriety. Some of these laws are so absurd as to be luj icrous. some so drastic as to be al most execrable, and some so utterly unjust and unfair that their enforce ment Is not attempted In many in stances. Their very nature makes them a dead letter. One of the latest legislative myste ries that we have noted comes from Connecticut. "The House, this year." says The New Haven Register, "ha passed a bill which disqualifies a deal er In tobacco from being a police com mlssloner In the city of New Haven. why in the world a man should be disqualified who sell tobacco and a man be eligible who sell groceries or clothing is beyond our guessing editor. He gave it up at once and said he would have no moral right to his sal ry for any time nominally given to the subVevt. for nobody could solve It The story goes that a tobacconist one gave a policeman a bunch of clgara to Influence hla conduct. Why here In Hartford, we have several men who have given policemen pieces of their minds In order to Influence their conduct. Mast we conclude that any body who haa a mind is thereby dis qualified? It ta as sensible as to dis qualify anybody who haa cigars." Written Before the Eastern Judge ship Appointment. Florence, 8. C., Time. It was, probably, a vary delicate bit of a compliment that Mr. Williams, of N'orth Carolina, paid to South Carolina In dnylng his citixenshlp in thla 8tata The South Carolinians who accept posi tion under a Republican administration are not generally very highly esteemed. Id North Carolina It i different It I just as well. If a aoan can claim cftisen ship IA either or both, that when he be comes a Republican referee he draw a cloak over Ma South Carolina eltisen ship. We feel sure that Mr. Williams Intended his repudiation of the insin uation that he was a South Carolinian a compliment to this State, and aa such we accept it. We see bo honor to the State In appointments which require that men shall repudiate the faith ot their fathers who put almost everything that 1 good tn this government and who consistently opoosed everything that ia not good until this latter Invasion ot the sentiment of the North, which is mora iagerou and effective than the invas ion of armed hods.

That was long ago, however, and so far no punishment haa been Inflicted upon the clalmanta In Mecklenburg county. North Carolina, which also, shows, we suppose, ""the progress of civilization.''
