about all this. It is a commonplace
of observation that the popular taue

Colonel Roosevelt has been as popular
as President Tafl has been unpopular.

The success which Hie Tall admin

or so in pushing important measures
through eongr. ss and .h bringing the
eolid Republican ote in behiml them
is being reflected in reports w hich are
coming to Washington I nun all parts
of the country of tin- growth of the
President's populai it .
Congressmen from the west and
middle west, sections that only . tew
weeks ago were hitler in ili.ir crit
icism of the Taft administration, have
been receiving letters and tel. grams
which indicate that the passage of the
rallrond bill and other administration
measures has don.- much to rehabili
tate the President's standing. The
growing Impression that "ol Roose
velt is satistied with the Tail adminis
tration and will come out strongly In
support of It alo is helping to clear
the situation in the West, and Presi
dent Taft's friends Ipt.- .ire In better
spirits now than they ha.e been at
any time this season. They i,.-ilec
that insurge.a y is on the wane and
that when the presei congress fin
ishes its work and lays before the
country an impressive . list o f bills
passed Mr. Taft s hardlearned victory
will be generally recAnl.ed
The president himself is greatly
pleased with the way congress has res
ponded to his requests and its Is ap
parent that he is sharing the belief of
his friends that there are brighter days
ahead for his administration. The pr
ldent already has got the railroad bill
nnd thj statehood bill through con
It resa and it is practically certain that
his postal savings bank, bill and his
conservation bill will be added to the
list within a day or two.
These bills in themselves make a
big showing, but the President does
not intend to stop with them. He has
strong hopes of getting campaign
publicity hill through before congress
adjourns and also a bill creating an
Appalachian forest reserve. He is
however directing his efforts chiefly
to the campaign publicity bill ami to
the few minor details that remain in
regard to the conservation tnd postal
savings hank bills. A campaign pub
licity bill has already passed the
house and it is planned now to take
It up in the senate as soon as the
two remaining administration meas
ures are out of the way. The President-
has on several occasions spokes

especially assigned a a reason for a
revision of the popular view, It sure
ly haa not been forgotten that the lit
tia Dana or insurgent Senators, who
are not even Included in the White
House railing list, are claiming credit
for having forced the adoption of
whatever meritorious provisions " the
measure eontalna The periodical
press haa attributed to one of the
Senate regulars the' admission, or as
sertion, that the railroad bill. In its
original form Indicated a worse act
of treachery to the American people
than had been olamveri since the days
of Benedict Arnold. And this rall-
road bill was In the beginning . ap

Now, as we have- before remarked,
the President may have unjustly been
placed under an almost continuous
Are for months, lie that as It may,
since the public has taiten an unfa
vorable view of the course pursued
by the President we see no reason for
the dear people to right about face,
and raise a song of praise where
u few weeks ago only murmerlnga of
discontent were heard, returning
thanks for something for which
those Western malcontents had al
ready thanked the Insurgents.
(lieut men of all times, and repre
senting all peonies, have had a realiz
ing sense of the Inconsistency of the
popular fancy, and we suppose it was
by most nf these men discounted.
Is the President to become the ben
ellclary of one of these kaleidoscopic
changes? If so. Democratic rejoicing
over that devoutly hoped for landslide
may be short lived.
AIOIAMENT AND WAR.
"Tho most strained relations of the
present .day exist between the two
pc wers best prepared for war. It is
a general rule that the man who Is
fully armed and prepared to defend
himself is oftenest called upon to do
so. The old adage that the man who
is looking for trouble Is apt to find it
is as applicable to nations as to indi
viduals. It is probably only a ques
tion of time when England and ib r
rnany will either come to blows or
agree to a cessation of naval con
truetion. th, example which other
nations will hasten to follow."
So said Supreme Court Justice
Brown in an address before this
year's graduating class of tho Yale
Uiw school. He had urged his hear
ers to do their part In strengthening
the power of international courts as
preventives of war. Ho attacked the
theory that preparations for war are
the best assurances of peace, and
cited the case of Kngland and tier
nia ny.
"There is an increasing dislike and
dread of war." said Justice Prawn,
"which In the progress of ages may
lead to its abolition. Hut I fear that
centuries must elapse before this con
summation is reached.
"Meanwhile our efforts to bring
uliotit this consummation should
never be halted. Much has been done
in that direction, but vastly more re
mains to be done. Armaments have
not only not decreased, but never In
the history of the world lias there
been such complete preparation and
such readiness lor war."
The belief that war is not yet to
pass from the earth is held by many
of the most thoughtful, although
prodigious efforts are being made by
the leaders of Christendom in the
course of universal peace. Human
nature changes but slowly; what was
predicated of it a thousand years ago
may in general he predicated of it a
thousand years hnce.
Hut what we call "human nature"
is not all of war as a phenomenon of
human life. Evolution is working in
the manifestations of human nature.
Christendom at least, we believe, will
eventually abandon war, as utterly
repugnant to its principles and Ideals.
We believe that Justice Brown rea
i.otis soundly that armament Is quite
likely to mean war, rather than
peace.
THE HOOk WOHM.
In his report to the Medical society
at Wrightsville Beach yesterday. Dr.
J. A. Ferrell, assistant secretary of
the hookworm commission for North
Carolina, presented some confounded
ly disquieting ligures; to country
bred folks, especially. He opines that
at least one-fourth of tho State's
ru 1 population Is affected with the
disease. Of 600 college students ex
amined one-third were found to be
affected. Some 3000 white and 250
colored are reported to have been
treated.
It is planned, he said, to divide the
State into 18 districts and wage a
vigorous campaign. The required
number of Held agents will cot h.
State $20,000 annually and will soon
use up .Minn Carolina's portion of
the Hoekefeller fund, therefore Dr,
i-rr.it recommended thak the lesls
laivre be requested to provide for
maintenance of agents. He estimated
that the disease is now costing North
Carolina $187,000 annually.
Now thut Mr. Bryan has made lit-
tie headway In his efforts to dictate
party affairs in Ohio, and Governor
Harmon has been proposed for the
Presidency, the Democracy should
nna iiseu rehabilitated to a degree
which will enable It to do some bus.
iness in the future.

THE POOR SALARY.
The fact is well known that as soon
as an educator In North Carolina
makes an achievement thnt attracts
the attention of the nation, a broader
field and a larger salary go at once to
claim him. The legislature of North
Carolina has been told this with dis
couraging frequency by those who
have made appeals for educational ap
propriations. The loss of Dr. Alder
man or Dr. Whitehead and Dr. Smith
and a long list of others who have
left the poverty sticken educational
fields of North Carolina, being at
tracted to more lucrative positions,
shows us at a glimpse just what the
state has lost in the going away of
some of its best men. The great edu
cational forces that are so vital to the
life of our state have been leaving
North Carolina for a dozen years and
more. There Is no reason why the
salaries paid our educators should be
so meager. High Point Enterprise.
SII.ER CITY'S BID FOR THE MEN
DACITY MEDAL.
A citizen of this town was recently
standing In front of the meat market
lamenting the fact that the bird sea
son was over, as he had a sick daugh
ter who craved a partridge. He was
telling how very desirous he was of
getting her a bird, wlnn, as from tin
very heavens, a plump seasonable
partridge dropped on the pavement at
his feet; and the meat market, be It
understood, is in the center of the
busimss seition of our progressive
town! The gentleman standing with
him were astonished at the remarka
ble and providential occurrence, and
well they might be, fur such a thing
is well out of the ordinary. Upon In
vestigating, it was found that the bird
had been Hushed on a vacant lot some
distance away and in its rapid (light
had come in contact with the brick
building Just above the heads of the
gentlemen, instantaneous death result

A GOOD DEED.
In a modest newspaper paragraph
we are told that Mrs. Peter A.
Krercks of Salisbury "has donated to
Ilishop Horner, for bis missionary
school, Valle t'ruces, in the moun
tains or North Carolina, the machin
ery, tools and hardware from the
shops of her late husband. Peter A.
Frercks. And assisted by Mr. Frulsel,
a clever nephew of Mr. Frercks. who
was visiting her, she shipped to the
school this week 14 machines and 37
boX'?s of tools and supplies." That
donation is not exploited as much as
a Carnegie or a Rockefeller girt
would have been, nor has it any such
provisions that the school should de
note an equal amount or tools. Valle
Cruces is located in Watauga county,
and it is known that this missionary
school is doing a splendid work. It
Is very much to the credit of Mrs
Frercks' discernment that she singled
it out for this act of beneficence
for that is what It was. It was a
good deed that may shine dimly at
Irst. but mightily in the end. Char

Almost a Tragedy at Biitmore House-
Mrs. Woods Bruised About
Face and Neck.
Mrs. Tiessie Woods, a servant at
Biitmore House, narrowly escaped
being crushed to death in a dumb
waiter shaft yesterday afternoon. It
is said that had It not been for the
weakness of the moter which moves
the dumb waiter there would have
been no escape from death.
It seems that Mrs. Wooda is of
rather recent employe at Piltmore
House nnd was unfamiliar with the
eccentricities of motors and elevators.
She was working near the shart whem
It Is said, someone told her to "look
out'' and that she stuck her head In
the shaft, at the same time acciden
tally pressing the push-button which
sets the elevator in motion. Her
head and le-ck were caught between
the wall and the elevator and she
was in a precarious predicament
Some of the workmen about the house
rushed to her assistance and cutting
the elevator loose, released her about
the time she fainted.
Dr. S. Westray Battle was hurried
