hat might easily pr ve fatal to Re
publican interests in- Rowan county
for the reason that jthe Democratic
Senator would be cm ating this em
barrassment for Republicans at the
pecial invitation ot a Republican
President.
Tradition and good Judgment lead
to the conclusion tq.at it is best for
ill concerned to letive the responsi
bility for making- appointments to

THE TARIFF TO KE PARAMOUNT.
AND
: AfiVINST BOTH TRADITION
,f HOOD .H IXiMENT.
' The first of the week it was an
nounced from the White House that
the President would appoint a Dem
ocrat, a former member of Confess,
to a Federal JudReship in Texas. This
announcement, which brought dis
tress to Cecil Lyon, the Republican
leader in the Lone Star State, and
embarrassment to Frank H. Hitch
cock, who is doing the best he can
,r. lonw aftr the political interests
of the administration in a practical
way, serves to indicate that Mr. Taft's
attitude toward Southern Republicans
V-T. iin.lr.rirnne no change since he
made the Judge Connor appointment
i ator in the week it was also an
nounced, upon White House author
ity, that the President would in the
future consult Democratic Senators
when it came to appointing postmas
ters in their respective home towns
It was explained that the President
had determined upon this course t
show his regard fur the South, anil
for the men who have been sent to
Washington as the representatives of
the Southern people.
In our opinion the President has
erred twice. His intentions may have
been the best; he may have been
moved by a desire to meet the South
ern people half way when those Au
gusts, citizens resented the act of
Democratic members of Congress in
opposing the appropriation for the
President's traveling expenses. But.
as we have said, the President has
erred again, politically. To begin
. with, if he has sought to do Southern
Democratic Senators a kindness he
. will soon find that the mark has been
missed. If the President carries out
hjs announced Intention the Demo
cratic Senators will become, to all in
tents and purpose, the dictators of
this postoffice patronage in a great
many large Southern towns. Th
President would not, we think, Invite
the advice of a Senator and then dis
regard it. Senators find it annoying
and costly enough in dealing with
these patronage matters when their
own party is in power, and when the
responsibility is properly theirs, but
as the matter now stands they will be
asked to make enemies for themselves
in making recommendations that do
not directly concern them. Those
Democratic Senators not caring to
play small politics will therefore fall
to appreciate the President's Intend
ed kindness. On the other hand such
an arrangement is unjust to Southern
Republicans because Democratic Sen
ators will have been placed In posi
tion, by a Republican President, to
do the Republican party considerable
harm. If the Senators should conclude
to do their own party a good turn.
Nor are we sure that they would not
be warranted in so doing. If a Re
publican President apparently holds
his own party In the South In such
small regard, If a Republican Presl
dent. In other words, has one mode
of dealing with his party In alt other
sections of the country, and then as
umes a different attitude toward the
party in the South an attitude
which leaves no avenue of escape
from tha conclusion that the party In
tha Southern States Is only measur
ably favored with his respect and
confidence then, we say, Democratic
Senators would probably be warrant
ed In turning to good account a situa
tion created for them by tha titular
and actual head of the opposition
party. I'nder the circumstances Dem
ocratic Senators night readily be e
cused if they take occasion to con
firm tha Presidents apparent impres-
' slon that Democrats are so much
mora respectable, and are therefore
so much better fitted, to discharge
the duties incident to the larger post-
offices In tha South.
As a case In point, suppose Senator
Oternan should be Invited to name
the postmaster at bis home town of
. Salisbury. There would Inevitably be
Democratic, Republican, and Mug-
wump applicants, and the Senator
would, be recreant to a plain duty to
a party which hag honored him If he
failed to so cultivate this situation as
to throw the Republican ranks l,ts
By common consent, It seems, the
tariff is to be made the paramount
of the approaching campaign. The
Congressional campaign committees
of both parties are busy preparing
literature designed for consumption
in the provinces, while the party ora
tors are loading up with statistical In
formation which most of us will never
understand. With reference to this
matter of the tariff the New York Sun
makes this niteresting comment, with
a thinly disguised reference to Mr.
Roosevelt at the end":
"The Payne tariff is a good tariff,
an excellent producer of revenue, and
it has had nothing to do with the
increased cost of living. Such, ac
cording to reports from Washington,
is In effect the declaration with which
the uninsurgent Republicans will go
before the country tn the congres
sional campaign.
'Now, the Payne tariff is as good a
tariff as anybody had a right to ex
pect from the Republican tariff plank
of 1908. No. downward revision was
promised. It is yielding revenue. And
the high cost of living is found in
other countries as well as the United
States, and the essential causes there
of are independent of the American
tariff.
Still, to a population raging
against the growing size of its bills, a
population full of the passion to kick
and the general mutiny, the defense of
the Payne tariff may not be, soothing
It is a pleasure to kick the chair on
which your shin has been barked; and
it is possible that the tariff or the Re
publican party, so long tha guardian
of that sacred palladium, may seem a
convenient vehicle of prevailing dis
content.
"Not that the country w not pro
tectionist, but there are times when
folks fail to appreciate their blessings
and are loud in damning their bene
factors. The Republican is the best
of all parties; it has saved everything
worth saving, and there Is no true
goodness uutMde of it, and the
protective tariff is the sole source
of prosperity; but when the Republl
can party is divided against itself and
prosperity means a large drain upon
the pocket of the wage-earner and
the salary-earner who can tell what
to expect of the weak and the wicked?
'After all, we can't believe that the
Republicans will care to stand upon
even the best of tariffs. More likely
they will depend upon the imuuted
righteousness which they will derive
from a celebrated articles of virtue,
which is to be reimported this

DOWN BY TIIE SAD SEA SHORE
The following, from the Wilkesboro
Chronicle, is a premature explosion
on the part of Rob. Deal:
They intend making things lively
at nghtsville for the Press associa
tion. Wo have received an Invitation
to a hpecial t avor Dance given at
Lumlna, in honor of the occasion.
We have just received requests from
Joe Daniels of the News and Observ
er, Rufe Clark, of the Lardmark, Har
ry Martin, of the Lenoir News, Bob
Rivers, of the Watauga Democrat,
Mr. Klutz, of the Charlotte Observer
Earle Godbey, of The Ashevilie Oa
zette-News, and Jim Cook, of the
Jackson Training school, wanting ou
services to teach them the "Wilkes
step" so that they may appear on the
occasion with distinguished advant
age and harmonious rhythm.
Howard Banks of the Hickory Dem
ocrat is also a member of this team
and we "suspicion" that he bribed Bro,
Deal to keep it quiet. To add a fur
ther detail, now that the feline has
been released from the poke, the dis
aster will be referred by Hon. Ab
Payne of Little Alex. The execution
of the "Wilkes step" by this aggrega
tlon. under the tutelage of Bro. Deal
we may further add, will be, to use
leucuious expression that we have
come across somewhere, the most in
teresting and sensational execution of
the season. It will be the crowning
social, artistic, acrobatic and terpsi
chorean event of the entire meeting.
Impressive hesdlines in the North
ern papers tell how former President
Roosevelt has been rebuked by Hearst
for that London speech. Thla ought
to hold the Colonel for awhile.

ablet Mai king Spot Unveiled That
Place Was Selected Because of
Its Dryness.
Charlotte, X. C., June 3. On a
freight warehouse of the Seaboard
Air Line railway in this city, the
Stonewall Jackson chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy today
unveiled a tablet so that future gen
erations may know the spot, one
hundred miles from navigable wa
ters, where once was located the navy
ard of the Confederate States.
After the battle of the Monitor and
the Merrimac in Hampton Roads,
the Confederacy recognized the neces
sity of removing its Navy Yard from
Norfolk, Ya. Charlotte. N. C, was
selected as the site, and there, far re
moved from the possibility of attack
by water, guns were cast for the navy
and carriages and other Implements
of war constructed for the land forces
as well as the naval service. No
ships were constructed or repaired
there, it Is hardly necessary to add.
The tablet bears this inscription;
"Confederate State Navy Yard,
Charlotte, North Carolina,
1801 18G.V
The tablet waj designed by J.
Frank Wilkes. It is a work of art of
shield shaped design, munted on an
chors and entwined with a sea ca
ble with an appropriate Inscription.
Wilkes is the son of the late Cap
tain John Wilkes, who was In the ser
vice of the United States navy from
1841 to 1854.
When Captain Murdaugh and Cap
tain Parker of the Confederacy, who
were charged with the mission of
finding a new- site for a navy yard,
came as far inland as Charlotte they
met their old comrade. Captain
Wilkes. On making known their
quest. Captain WilkeB pointed out !
property that he owned fronting six
hundred feet along the railroad and I
one hundred on the main street. This!
they thought exactly suited to their
purpose, far enough inland to be safe
from attack by sea. and lying on the
only railroad which connected Rich
mond with the Southern States of the
Confederacy. So the Confederate
government bought the property on
the promise to pay. Nothing was paid
and after the war Wilkes bought the
property back.
A large quantity of material and
machinery was moved from Norfolk
to Charlotte, and coke ovens, foundry
and machine shops erected. All sorts
of guns, gun carriages and woodwork
were made here. The coal used was
obtained from Egypt. N. C, In Cum
berland county the only coal mine In
the state, and the coke was made
here.
When lirom's battery, a famous
local detachment, was projected, the
churches of Charlotte gave their bells
to the cause and these were east into
two cannon for it. Four other guns
were captured on the coast and these
were brought here and fitted with
carriages and equipment.
Captain H. Ashton Ramsey, who is
now living in Baltimore, was com
mandant of the navy yard.
When Richmond fell in April. 1865,
Mrs. Jefferson Davis and children
were living in Charlotte, and Presi
dent Davis and his cabinet removed
here that month. For a few days this
was the capital of the Confederacy
and the last deliberations of the gov
ernment were held and Its final acts
signed and sealed in what is now The
Charlotte Observer building. After
the news of President Lincoln's as
sassination was was received here the
government broke up, the officers dis
persed and the navy yard was aban
doned, to fall Into the hands of Fed
eral troops a few days later when they
marched Into the city.

about CapL Rolls, the British aviator,
