trust would have been very glad to
have absorbed everything necessary
to the comfort of the State Adminis
tration, if it had been properly ap
proached. Governor Kitchin once
stumped the State, the burden of his
plaint, and the theme of every Impas
sioned discourse being that the tobac
co trust's reason for being was to be
found in the abiding hope that it
would one day And itself in position
to bring about his destruction and,
through his calamitous downfall, the
destruction of the pee-pul. Now, at
the first oportunlty, the unmolested
trust has made a financial sacrifice
to save Governor Kitchin from a sit
uation which he must have found em
barrassing. From tliso mountain fastnesses
one gets the Impress! ) hat just n
tow coals of tire have been heaped,
K-nt!y. but (irmly, upon the head of
tin State's chief executive. And is
one not able to discern, in the drift
of current events, a bare suggestion
of something rather closely resemb
ling retributive justice?
Ve have an idea the trust hus
found it possible to extract at least a
million dollars' worth of enjoyment
out of the situation.
THE CASE OF Mil. WICKEUS1I AM.
Collier's Notional Weekly, nvhirli
has made a specialty of th- rlullliigt-r
matter,' devotes particular attention
this week to the part played by .At
torney General Wtckersham in the
case.
What they did was this: Wicker
eham sat down hrs desk; lie wrote a
document which makes nint-ty printed
pages (it took him three weeks to
do iO: it took np till the Clavi
charges ruul met them, and it endcl
with the statement that Ulaxis's
eharges (murk the present tense
GlaviH, when Wickershum wrote these
words had been dismissed three
months) 'are so unjust and unfounded
as to merit his immediate separation
from the service.'
Having finished this document
Wlekershnm searched backward
through his calendar for the appro
priate date, and wrote at the top:
"September 11. IHod."
Then he sinned it "George W. Wick
ersham, Attorney-General." addressed
it formally to "The President." and
sent it to the sei.'le as one of th
In these piping times of peace and
alleged prosperity people find it neces
sary to resort to new and untries
methods in the effort to gain a live
lihood A New York woman has done
real well by falling. She has stepped
on well placed banana peelings and
has had sixteen good, hard falls that
have proven profitable, albeit painful.
I'p to the present writing she has
collected JT.000 from public service
corporations, on whose property the
falls have been executed. She had
chronic ailment, which she em
ployed to confirm her claims of hav
ing sustained serious injury.
Headers might do well to bear In
mind this profitable employment of
one's time when next they hear of
a rise in the price of beef and other
necessaries. The woman not only
drew the $5000, but she received very
kind treatment and free board while
taking shott turns in various hospitals.

If the Attorney-General had laid it
before the President two days before
the President wrote his September 13
letter.
Omit for the present interesting
story though it Is the internal evi

Would seem as if it were a germinal

of prejured resistance to Hrandels's
efforts to con firm or disprove his ap
palling suspicions resistaio". which
began with timid shuffling and ended
with the angry bellowing of men
pushed to the corner and in the
wrong. All that was the natural se-
tiance of the original situation it du
plicates the Dreyfus rase: first, an in
justice to an honest subordinate, then
suppression of th facts in order to
Justify that Injustice; then, from sup
preeslon and evasion to direct affirm
atlon of what are not the facts, is t
necessary and easy step. But omit all
that. It is frequent and usual. Hut
for you, reader here Is the important
reflection: If you ever found yourself
In an embarrassing situation, and saw
how a falsehood would let you out; if
you ever contemplated the profits and
emoluments that could be yours
through forgery; and If through fear
or conscience you paused, then you
were meait for lowly peths. Not out

' Having made a bad cause his own
Wickersham does seem to have made
matters worse at every turn. It Is a
fearful Indictment, when it la ahown
that the Attorney-General wrote of
Glavls, that his charges against Bal
llngsr were so unfounded as to "merit
hla Immediate separation from, the
service," and then antedated the docu
ment to make it appear that the Pres
ident had simply acted upon hla re
commendation. It was a device that
must be regarded as wholly dishonest;
deliberately planned deception. We
take It that only a consciousness of
the lamentable weakness of hla case
would have driven the Attorney
Oeueral to a step so discreditable.

PIE BABY CONTEST
ATTRACTING INTEREST
Manager Arnold of "The Hip" Called
upon to Answer Many Questions
The Date.
The announcement In yesterday's
paper In regard to the "prise baby"
contest is attracting more attention
than the four-leaf clover matinee
given at "The Hip" last Monday after
noon. Mr. Arnold says The Gazette
News had not been off the press a
half hour before people were making
enquiries. "Last night and aU morn
ing," he said, "I have been answering
'phone calls snd all kinds of questions.
In the majority of cases mothers want
to know if their baby Is a little over
two years old if they can enter the
contest. No they cannot. No baby
over two years of age can enter. No,
It Is not necessary to bring the baby
In a baby carriage. No, it is not nec
essary to have it dressed In long
clothes. No, it Is not necessary to
have it dressed In white. No, I will
not be the Judge. Five ladles will act
as Judges and if they decide that your
baby is one of the three prettiest you
will receive one of the prises. I can
not tell now what the prises will be;
bring your baby and find out."
These and many more are some of
the questions that Manager Arnold
has had to answer In regard to the
"Prise Baby Contest" to be given at
'The Hip' next Monday afternoon,

The North Carolina State Nurses'
association held an interesting ses
sion at the Battery Park hotel this
morning when reports for the year
were presented by the various officers
showing the association in a good con
dition, and a prosperous outlook for
another year.
Kollowiiig the enrollment of mem
bers and a meeting of the board of
directors, the meeting was called to
order at 11 o'clock by the president.
Miss Constance E. Pholf, R. N., of
Winston-Salem, who delivered an ad
dress and extended the greetings of
the president.
The report of the year was read by
Miss Mary Sheets, R. N., of Winston
Salem, the secretary. This report
showed encouraging progress. Miss
Birdie Dunn, R. N., the treasurer, of
Haleigh, made her report, showing a
healthy financial condition.
The report of the meeting of the
associated alumnae, written by Mies
Mary L. Wyche, R. N., of Durham
was read. The meeting was held in
New York recently when the fiftieth
anniversary was celebrated. It was
an interesting report. The associa
tion was founded by Miss Florence
Nightingale, now 90 years of age and
living in London. The report was a
careful review of the work being done
by the association a .d the results ac
complished.
Miss Neta V'mberger of Charlotte
read a paper on "The Greatest Need
of the Nurses of Today." Miss Doro
thy liayden, U. N., of Greensboro
read a paper on "The Value of
Trifles."
This was followed by "the question
ho," which proved instructive.
Opening Session.
The opening session was held at the
Mattery Park hotel last night with Dr.
M. H. Fletcher presiding. There were
about 75 nurses in attendance. The
address of welcome was made by Rev.
It. R. Swope, D. D., rector of All
Souls' church, liiltmore. He express
ed gratitude that the trained nurses,
such an important factor in modern
medical treatment, had come to Ashe
ville to hold their meeting. An or
chestra furnished music.
Dr. Paul II. Ringer made an ad
dress on "The Responsibility of the
Trained Nurse to the Community," in
which he spoke of the highly impor
tant place the nurse occupied. The
trained nurse is the one, he said, who
comes in direct contact with tho fam
ily of the patient. The work of the
physician and the nurse must be co
operative; a physician cannot prac
tice with the best results without a
trained nurse. She has risen to n
place of honor, trust and admiration
and very grent responsibility. She Is
In a dual capacity: the first to the
patient and the family, and second to
the community. She is the go-be
tween the family and the physician
Her powers of education are to be
shown in the development of hygiene
in the house and the methods taken
to prevent the spread of disease. By
her work she is one of the bulwarks
of the nation.
"Suggestions."
"Suggestions" was the subject of
an interesting address by Dr. R. 8.
Carroll of this city. He said that
suggestion is the inculcation of an
Idea unconsciously, while persuasion
is the conscious inculcation of an
Idea. Suggestion comes through the
senses, while persuasion comes by the
Intellect. Human nature is sugges
tion. All superstition is suggestion.
Touching upon hypnotism, he said
that this was not truly a helpful
mode of treatment, but always dan
gerous. Hypnotism is very close to
sleep, similar to transition between
wakefulness and sleep, but the hyp
notist must be present to preserve
this transition state. He did not con
sider hypnotism a worthy means for
physicians to use. Auto-suggestion,
where a person himself suggests. Is
similar to a hysterical state. A sor
row becomes a pain; a dlsannolnt-
