UNTHINKABLE-
The Charlotte Observer quotes Con
gressman More head as disclaiming
any Intention of running for congress
again. The Observer adds, in the
course of a news story, that Morehead
is the type of Congressman that
North Carolina needs, and that he
never back-tracks on any stand that
he deems it his duty to assume.
That our contemporary has de
rived pleasure from the presence of
Jlr. Morehead in Congress will be ac
cepted as a matter of course. The
DemocanAU.' jress at the State is vir
tually w ojf mind in the matter of
its unallffred admiration fur him. If
any of them is able to support with
composure the prospect of his failure
to secure a re-election to Congress, it
will come through the reflection that
lie may realize his ambition to take
charge of his party In the Stale, as
its recognised leitdi r.
We are not so certain that More
head has never done any back-tracking.
We are under the impression
that we have been given assurances
by the Observer's own correspon
dents that the member from the Fifth
is much pleased with Washington
life, and the clear inference was
drawn that in would be pleased to
have it prolonged indefinitely, while
on December 2S the Observer printed
n local news story in which the state
ment was made that Morehead had
made himself solid and would have
no trouble in securing a re-nomination.
If Morehead likes the life, what
lias led Iflrn to doubt the expediency
of placing himself in the hands of his
friends, of subjecting himself to the
ballot lest, a second time? Mr More
head's "back" and "dander" have
been up. and just a very few days
have elapsed since the State was
warned, once more through the Ob
server's excellent and reliable col
umns, that the Morehead loins were
amply girded for the fray. Why, in
so brief a period, have considerations
of discretion supplanted valor'.'
Personally, we object One is able
to discern little of the true Morehead
In the absence of that militant m'en
In the first place how would the Re
publican congressional campaign
committee be aide to worry along
without that guiding hand In National
affairs, a hand made available by the
"nthusiastic votes of Morehead and
Grant? And then Morehead should
not car and enthusiastic admirers
should Tflt,t,rbr a moment think, of
permitting him to retire under fire.
Mr. Morehead has gone to Charlotte
where he was pleasantly interviewed
ly the Observer, to tell the Republi
cans how to carry the Ninth district
and he has felt so highly of his prow
ess as a vote getter that he would
not permit the party to be deprived
of his services when he could render
that distinct service by voting for
himself. Now we are told that this
member, engaged in the benlflcent
work of saving others, will not even
make the attempt to save himself.
It Is unthinkable. This highly In
fluential member of the Republican
1'ongression committee should stand

IXTF.RROtiATOHIES BY MR.
THOM.
"Is the radical or the conservative
the politician or the business man
the opportunist or the statesman to
lead hereafter In American politics?
The man will lead who reflects the
sentiments of a majority of people.
Will thst sentiment be for conserva
tion or will it be for destruction?"
Thus Mr. Thorn, in a rather serious
address to the Carolina Pine Men in
Norfolk last night. Mr. Thorn is a1
ways rather serious.
He Inclines to the epigratnatlc. "Is
It possible," he asked, "in a dem
ocracy to And permanent protection
at the hands of the majority? If
ao, the majority, In dealing with these
questions, must exhibit a spirit of
moderation, conservatltism and Jus
tice as yet unparalelled in history."
Increased demand and strong
prices for lumber had been prophe
sied to the pine men six months ago.
The failure of the prediction was
ascribed by President Fosburg. "in no
small degree to the continued agita
tional Washington which has been
keeping the rnllroads and other large
With reference to the speculation
over the prohable endorsement, in un
iiualified terms, of the Administration,
by the Republicans of this Congres
sional district, when they meet here
Saturday week, we are reminded that
the convention would find precendent
lor so doing if it cared to qualify its
praise. The Republicans of the In
dianapolis district in Indiana met the
other day and adjourned without
waiting for the report of its commit
tee on resolutions. Mr. Cox, the
nominee, was known to be an insur
gent in principle, and the conven
tion omitted any reference to its par
ty's record out of deference to his
wishes, and the wishes of Senator
Beverldge.
That cruel war in Georgia is over.
The breach between the Federal and
State courts is tilled up. District At
torney John W. Henley of Atlanta
went into Judge Fite's court at Tren
ton yesterday and poured oil on the
troubled waters. He made it entirely
clear that the I'nlted States govern
ment will not in any manner aid or
assist in the violation of state laws.
He said the federal authorities desired
at all times to be In entire harmony
with the state courts and to work
together for the maintenance of law
tnd order." And Deputy Collector
Crocket and Storekeeper Thompson,
instead of being thrown into prison
for contempt, had Bentence suspended.
The meeting to have been held to
morrow for the organization of a Bun
combe county Boys' Corn club has
been postponed, date to be announced
later. Prof. Schank could not be here,
and the committee deem It wiser to
hold the meeting at a later date, anyway.

CAPTAINS SELECTED
FOR THE Y.M.C.A. TEAMS
Boys Were Chosen on Their Merit from
Large List of Available!, and
Good Ball Is Expected.
The captains for the teams in the
V. M. C. A. baseball league were ap
pointed this morning and are as fol
lows; James Coleman, James Howell.
Mnlcomh Rurbunk, Clarence Young,
Claude Lee and liarrill Wood.
These captains ware selected from
SO players after careful consideration
of the merits of each and every boy
that has sinned up to play. These six
hoys were chosen as captains because
in V MCA. circles they are known for
their splendid executive ability in car
rying out successfully any task that
lalls to their lot. Faeh ,me is a good
ball player, uiuierstands the 'me p,!n'
i f the game ,.nd there is not a quitter
in the entire lot.
The captains will meet at the Y. M.
C. A. tomorrow at 12 o'clock at which
time they will take the contracts
which have been signed by the pros
pective players and choose up the
teams. Bach team will then have a
meeting, select its manager and choose
the name It wishes to play under in
the league.
As this is the first time that a
league of this kind has been run
among the hoys the president had to
appoint the cajitains and let them se
lect their teams, but next year the
captains will be elected. As soon as
the teams are selected a regular
schedule will be made out and the
box's will get down to hard practice
for the opening of the league season,
which will be about April IS, The
league will be run for about three
months, at the end of which time the
winning team will he presented
a beautiful silver cup with the name
of the club and Its players engraved
thereon.
The tKiard of directors of the Y. M.
C. A. has taken a great interest In
the forming of the league and has ap
pointed Dr. R. S. Carroll, one of Its
number, to serve on the board of
manngers of the league.
The officers of the leucue are: Ed.
B. Brown, president; Dr. J. T. Sevlsr.
vice president: J. U Hunter, secretary-treasurer,
and J. A. Nichols and
Dr. It. 8. Carroll to serve on the
board of managers.
The meeting last night to organize
.1 league for the older players was
held at the Y. M. C. A. West Ashe
vllle, Y. M. C. A., and the "Ashevllle
Beds" were ready to go Into the
league but aa Blltmore had not fully
derided whether or not to came Into
the league final action was deferred
until next week, when Blltmore will
know whether or not It would
come In.
The Slim Woman Is Winning
The day of the slim woman's tri
umph has arrived. "The thinner one
Is the more stylish," say the dress
makers. This would have been sad news for
he fat woman a yenr ago. Bhe would
have had to try dieting or exercise.
Nowadays, however, the woman who
Is too fat for the styles goes to a
druggist and gets a case of Marmola
Prescription Tablets, one of which she
takes after each meal and at bedtime
and so reduces her superfluous flesh
quickly.
These tablets, being made In ac
cordance with the famous prescription,
are perfectly harmless, and they are,
also, the most economical preparation
a person can buy, for they cost only
76 cents a large case, ons of which Is
frequently enough to start a person to
losing fat at the rate of II or 14
ounces dajf. Pretty nearly every
druggist keep this tablet In stork, but
should yours be sold out. you can
easily obtain a oaae by sending to the
makers, the Marmola Company.
