MR. DANIELS AND PROSPERITY
Correspondence of the Gazette.
Raleigh. N. C. Sept. 12. Under the
headlines "To Live a Costly Living."
The News and Observer of the 11th
bewails the high price o things and the
consequent prosperity of the country
and general employment of the people,
and seems to long for the flesh-pots of
Hoke Smith and the devastation of
Cleveland.
Chairman Griggs of the democratic
congressional committee has been send
ing out some literature for the demo
cratic press to show that, "the republi
can cry of prosperity and the full dinner
pail is fallacious and misleading."
From the News and Observer's editorial
I desire to make a quotation and to
follow with a brief comment thereon:
"His description of true prosperity is
that when times . are truly prosperous
prices are usually high, but wages are
correspondingly high also. They keep
pace with the necessities and luxuries,
and the high prices are not felt by the
man with the fixed income. A man with
money in his pocket does not ask the
price of a thing, but buys it. When he
has no money, he is not interested in a
low price, because he cannot buy even
that which is cheap. Prosperity is har
mony between prices and wages. We
have no such harmony, and our present
prosperity is more apparent than real.
"State Chairman Simmons wrote to
Chairman Griggs and sent him a num
ber of statements secured by Mr. T. P,
Sale, sanitary officer of Raleigh, and
afnncr v.pq v,o fni WHr,., nmA i
obtained:
"Mr. C. F. Cook, a printer, says that
the present prices of articles, such as
beef, bulk meat, lard, flour and corn
meal, are about one-third higher now
than three years ago, and that his
wages have not been increased during
that period.
Such statements as these show that
the "prosperity" and "full dinner pail"
cry of ithe republicans is a rank hum
bug." So much for the quotation, ,and now
for a brief word of comment: "Who is
this "Mr. C. F. Cook, a printer," whose
wages have not been increased in three
years? 'I am reliably informed that the
statement as sent out by Mr. Griggs,
read, "Mr. C, F. Cook, a printer in
the News and Observer office." Who
would have believed it? But It was
just like Joe to leave out the words
that show in' t prosperity of his pam
per, he holds down the wages of his
workman, tacitly denying his relation
to him, even. And yet Joe is a Godly
i ian, tnev say. a bum av s.hoo man
and a churchman, living high, having
the gout, loving righteousness and
mercy, and hating riches and radicals.
In his own office, could he not demon
strate for Mr. Cook, even now, a har
monious prosperity," which everybody
would confess to be "the real thing?"
This question and comment exhibit the
hypocrisy of the Joe Daniels type of
coliticians.
In luoo, it .will be remembered, Ma
rion Butler imported Stump Ashby and
Karry Tracy from Texas to speak in
North Carolina; and, following in the
footsteps of populism, the democrats
in Maine this year imported for cam
paign work Pou and Kitchen from North
Carolina.. 'The North Carolina red
shirts were indignant at Butler's impor
tation and his imports after their return
to Texas, remembering L-umberton and
Concord, read with personal interest
the story of the man who went from Je
rusalem down to Jericho. The Maine
republicans seem to have been courte
ous to the North Carolina imports; and
so they present a handsome contrast to
the North Carolina democrats, who
seemed to think that Butler's Texas
steers were meant for consumption. But
as to the effect upon the vote of cam
paigning outside of your own state, I
should like to hear a heart-to-heart
talk between these four Imports, Ashley,
Tracy, Kitchen and Pou. They could
tiiJfP!? at ame was cooler tha,

Some one remarked in my hearing
the other day, after reading- of the
Blackburn-Merritt episode: "I 3ee that
the drummer-boy has got him a new
drum."

T 15. BE
JOURK ATTACK?
Is the Question Business Men
are Asking.
The "Follow up System" Being:
- Resorted to.
Howland's Paper Evidently Has
It in for Us.
J. A. Nichols, who was chosen chair
man of the committee or arrangements
for the reception of President Roosevelt,
said yesterday that practically the full,
amount expended by his committee had
been raised and all obligations incurred
had been promptly met. Members of
the committee were pleased beyond ex pression
over the promptness and entire
i willingness evidenced by the business
men of the city in subscribing to this
expense fund, (which necessarily
amounted to several hundred dollars.
Mr. Nichols yesterday shipped to the
war department the 50 handsome flags
borrowed toy the city. Mr. Nichols
says the flags got soaking wet, but
that they appeared to be none the worse
therefor, the cloth apparently being cf
the best quality.
The outside press continues to r?fer
to Asheville's reception of the chief exec
utive in words of commendation. As
heretofore stated, the single exception
is the Providence Journal, the paper
owned by R. S. Rowland, the owner of
the afternoon paper, printed in this city.
Not satisfied with the mendacious slurs
cast on the character of the reception
given the president here, that publica
tion is giving the subject some edJtcrial
attention. The editorial comment took
this form. '
"President Roosevelt plainly went to
Ashevilie to help Senator Pritchard and
the republican representatives in con
gress who have ia very stiff right on
their hands; it was a mistake for the
president to lend his presence to a bar
tisan controversy, and the Journal cor
respondent's observation during the
North Carolina visit indicates that it
turned out to be a questionable expedi
ent even for the republican participants
in the contest."
The utter falsity of this statement is
only equalled by the injustice it does
Senator Pritchard. A fortnight a-o
Senator Pritchard -was a guest of Presi
dent Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, when the
president made known his intention o
visit the battlefields near Chattanooga,
expressing his willingness at the same
time to stop at some point in North
Carolina on the return trip to Wash
ington. Exercising a privilege extended
to him by the president, Senator Pritch
ard designated Ashevilie as the place
wrhere he should stop. No one believed
for an instant that Senator Pritchard
did this with the hope of furthering his
own political interests and no one is
better acquainted with the facts above
recited than the editor of the Citizen.
Then why was the editorial takea from
Mr. Howland's republican Providence
paper and copied with approvinV head
line by his democratic Ashevilie paper?
The question was asked of Haywood
Parker, of the reception' committee, yes
terday afternoon whether he consi lered
President Roosevelt's visit to Ashevilie
as a political demonstration. Mr. Par
ker did not see how it could b? colled
a political demonstration without re
flecting on the democracv of the many
prominent democrats whj worked hard
to assist in giving the president a fit
ting reception.
"To call it a political demonstration
-would be absurd," he said. "Mr. Roose
velt "was welcomed here as the president
of the United States the president of
democrats and republicans. He was the
invited guest of the city. So far as I
am aware, none of us looked upon his
visit as a political one, nor have we, ,
now that it is past, any reason to re
gard it as having been such.
"I can mention a number of well
known democrats who at a sacrifice of
! time from their business spent dav
in the work of the various committees
incident to the occasion. As a member
of the finance committee, I had con
siderable occasion to talk to democrats
in regard to the plans for the reception.
They subscribed money to defray the
expenses, but nothing was said about
politics."
Of course nothing was said about
politics, because most people have some
sense of khe eternal fitness of things.
And what Ashevilie business men have
so frequently asked is, "What is behind
these attacks on Ashevilie by the paper
Whose policy is controlled by the owner
of the Citizen? The statements made
by the Journal, that the president was
given a "chilly greeting," and that a
hundred persons only met the special
train at the station, is denied with in
dignation by all. Mayor Miller skid
yesterday that the president expressed
gratification over the courtesies shown
him here, and that he seemed greatly
pleased with all that he saw. Mayor
Miller rode by the side of the president.
F. Stikeleather, the chief marshal of
the parade said: "I cannot imagine
what that correspondent meant. There
was not a fact in, the article from be
ginning to end."
Hon. H. A. Gudger said: "It was
a magnificent demonstration and I was
not prepared to see such an article in
any paper."
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
OF LINCOLN COUNTY
Special to the Gazette.
Lincolnton, N. C, Sept. 13. A large,
harmonious and enthusiastic repniblican
county convention was held' here today
and a ticket that will sweep the county
next November Was nominated. Hon.
J. J. Britt of Ashevilie spoke for an
hour and a half and made one of the
ablest and most convincing speeches
ever delivered here. He was listened
to with profound attention and fre
quently applauded. He drew a power
ful contrast between republican and
democratic policies and made a severe
arraignment of the democratic party
for the present state government, but
was conservative and' free from the
least semblance of bitterness. All re
publicans were greatly pleased and a
few democrats spoke in high terms of
his masterly speech.

COLLEGE NOTES
The graduating class in English this
year is now assured. These young la
dies will compose a finishing class,
graduating with the degree B. E.
Most of the young ladies of the junior
year of last year will enter this work.
Prof, and Mrs. Joseph wish to see
this week, any day from 10 to 12, all
former members of the college societies,
whether they will be students or not.
They desire to resurect these young la
dies' societies and would like to dis
cuss the work with any former- mem
ber and also to become acquainted with
all.
Illinois and Kentuck added their
names to the list of those states to be
represented this year, by today's mail.
Prof. oJseph has worked hard and
pjersistently for two months without
great encouragement till lately. But
the last week has been most gratifying.
Every day brings its encouragement
now. It has been a quiet, unostenta
tious period of work, but constant
work. The college expects to be an in
stitution of earnest work. It will keep
within receipts, and will make no dis
play it cannot afford.
Registering will 'begin Monday and
continue every day from 10 to 12. It
is hoped to have all students regis
tered and their course of work made
out by the 22d, so work may begin in
earnest at once on the opening. The
management thinks it unnecessary to
waste a week or more in beginning.
The young ladies' work will begin at 9
o'clock Monday, the 22d. The young
men will be organized Tuesday, the 23d,
at 2 p. m. The young men's classes
are now sure to be large.
The day pupils will be released in
time for their usual dinner hour at
home.
SHAH ADMIRES PARISIENNES
Stopped a Wedding Party and Gave
Bride Persian Goldpiece.
The shah displayed democratic qual
ities recently in Paris by playing a
game of billiards with the grand vizier
in the billiard room of the Elysee Pal
ace hotel, says the New York Herald.
The "king of kings" manifested great
enjoyment when his competitor missed,
and he won easily.
The shah attended the Theatre Fran
ca is to hear a classical drama, but was
not greatly pleased. lie prefers the
Chatelet, where there is a big ballet of
pretty girls. His admiration of the
fair sex led him to stop a bridal cor
tege in the l.ofs and gallantly to pre
sent the bride with a Persian gold
piece, for which the crowd cheered
him highly.
The shah bought two monkeys at the
Jardin d'Acclimatatiou. When they
were taken to his hotel, his parrots out
of jealousy swore like pirates in the
Persian tongue.
The Y. M. C. A.'s Great Mght Schools.

seventy-five different branches are
taught, nearly half of which are com
mercial. Of the students 25 per cent
are mechanics 25 per cent in the gen
eral trades, and but 23 per cent are
clerks. The classes in civics and Eng
glish branches enroll fully 75 per dent
