NO DOUBT AS TO BAILEY'S POSITION. ; Says the Charlotte Observer: "Sen ator Bailey vigorously denies the re port that he has reconsidered, or may reconsider his intention to retire in 118, at the expiration of his present term.' It seems certain, however, that Mr. Bailey, along with Colonel Roose velt, will have some more denying to do." As we have hitherto remarked, there cannot be the least doubt con cerning Senator Bailey's determina tion to retire. It is a determination oft expressed, without any mental re servations. There 1 but one thing, we believe, that would rause Mr. Bailey to reconsider, and that would be a united party standing on a plat form which would comport with what the Texaa senator regards as the Democracy of the fathers. It is the presence of the strange gods, more especially as they may be found in the higher councils of the party, to which Mr. Bailey objects. As we have before remarked, . Mr. Bailey knew exactly what he wanted to do when he sent his resignation to the Vice President, after his Democratic colleagues had voted for the Arizona statehood bill, with its provision for the recall of the judges. Perhaps In the assurances of several senators that their action had been miscon strued on that occasion, and in the appealing telegrams from Texas Dem ocrats who foresaw disaster to the party should the senator adhere to his determination. Mr. Bailey se visions of a united party, perhaps he discerned a realization on the part of Democrats generally of the danger of a further drift In the direction ol " Populism. Senator Bailey, we happen to know, has a feeling that many members of his party have "em - braced the cardinal doctrines of Pop ulism," and he is retiring from the " senate with the satisfaction to be derived from the belief that he has always spoken and voted according to what he felt "would Insure justice towards all people, and perpetuate the fundamental principles of the re public." These fundamental prin ciples, the Texas senator doubtless .feel, are being neglected by both the great political parties, with the result that active public life has ceased to have a..y attraction for him. We have an idea if the Democratic party coald unite, under Harmon, for ex ample, en a pin form that would not be written- by Josephu Daniels and OHIe James and Charles Murphy, that Mr. Bailey's interest in the wel fare of his party would immediately revive, and he would Immediately east about for some good, plausible ground for a reconsideration. There is not the slightest reason to assume. however, that things will take such a turn, however desirable. Should Mr. Bailey show a disposition to recon sider, and favor a man Ilk Governor Harmon with his support, that cir cumstance alone would be sufficient to start a row. Therefore, the single alternative which Senator Bailey will find available. If he cares to avoid the internecine strife which he has found so distasteful In the past, Is to make permanent his determination to re tire. And this, we believe, h will do. A TYPE TIIAT IS PASSING. News cornea from Oklahoma of a type' that Is passing. It is the story of a champion spender. William Roeser, the pride of Tulsa, has gone broke.

Such occurrence wen not uncommon, not so many years ago when the untold resources of . tht continent were so little realized a ti be free for the asking, that they len a distinctive character to life of thi nation, and the average unlnformet foreign still regards our business mai as sort of a hybrid of happy-go-luck; adventurer and remorseless buccaneer But this gentleman will indeed b favored If his rosy hopes are realized Fortunes are now seldom made ovei day and spent over night outside tht sacred confines of Wall street Amer ican business operations are tending to become as staid and conservative at elsewhere. An Important reason foi this Is that the opportunities of get ting something for nothing are rapldlj growing rarer. Contributory cause are the steadying effects of age and the large influx of foreigners, whose conservative business ideas are pow erfully felt. In this connection it is noticeablt that the callowness of the "over-rich" also appears to be wearing off. Gro tesque efforts on their part to attract general attention to bulging pocket- books seem far more infrequent than a decade or so ago, and that also is encouraging. The following June and July bulle tins have been received from the Stafe department of agriculture: Cotton seed Meal Feeding Experiments with Mules and Horses, Feeding Cottonseed Meal to Draft Animals, A Serious Let tuce Disease, Feeding Experiments with Beef Cattle, Feeding and Man agement of the Dairy Herd. For anj State Agricultural bulletins write to North! Carolina Agricultural Experi ment Station, West Raleigh. Bulle tins and reports are mailed free to any citizen of the State. We have not read Miss Johnson's book "The Long Roll" and have no present expectation of doing so too many hundreds of other books that ought to be read. They say that the most remarkable thing about it is the variety and profusion of the profanity In It. Profanity has its dramatic and even its literary uses, like the ex clamation point; but it has no force unless used very sparingly, and he who writes with a nice regard for his readers will manage to dispense with it entirely. The superintendent of the health and heredity department of the W. C. T. U. announced, in Boston yesterday, that goat's milk Is a specific for alco holismon what authority was not stated. A few years ago the apple was confidently announced as a corrective of many nervous conditions, including alcoholism, and the truth of this has nev r, we believe, been challenged. Apples are easy to come at; goat's milk is about as scarce as anything of which one can think. We have a notion that the prin clples of taxation discussed in the Passaic Herald article furnished by Mr. Allen may eventually be adopted generally, by municipalities, at least, The Immediate difficulty about taxa tion, however, seems to us to be one of administration, rather than prin clple. If all property were taxed equitably and equally, according to Its value, there would, we think, be little left to complain of. The control of the interstate com merce om miss ion over the railroads has been made well nigh absolute. The matter of States' rights will cease to be an issue one of these days, seeing how the States have no right. Asheville spends more for sanita tion than any other town in the State. and In many respects, get the most results. Tomorrow, w believe, Is the regu lar day for announcing the result of the election In Maine. GIRL KILLS BANDIT Notorious Raffiaa Shot as He At tempts to Hob Safe Id Wom an's Home. New York, Oct SI. Frank, alias "Chick" Monlaco,'a notorious ruffian was found dead under an old iron safe, with hi arm pinned beneath him and a 10-lnch knife in hi heart. Nellie Loner. It year old. In statement mad to an assistant district attorney, declares that she killed the man while he was attempting to rob the safe which belonged to her moth er. He had previously cheated her out of 1360, .she said, by representing himself as an emissary of a man to whom she had been married, and fchd beaten and choked her before at tempting to rifle thto afel Monlaco was 24 years old and was known all through the foreign quarter of Harlem a the survivor of a trlum Virata which had consisted of himself and 'Tough Tony" and "Black Gall ucct" both killed within a month, on in a win shop and the other by a policeman bullet Mgr.

C Hon to bd Curing Constipation Pretudtce Is a hard thlntr to overcome. but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people liners I rum yuurs, prvjuuiuv men w tomes your menace and you ought to ay it aside. This is said in the inter est of oeoule aufferinir from chronic constipation, and it is worthy of their mention. In the opinion of legions of reliable American neonle the most stubborn constipation Imaginable can be cured by a brief use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before, but do not doubt Its merits on that account, or because It has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very luccessfully on word of mouth recom mendation. Parents are giving It to their children today who were given it by their parents, and it has been truth fully said that more druggists use It oersonally in their families than any other laxative. FOR COUNTY DRAFTED County Board of Health Con siders Them at Meeting This Afternoon. The county board of health, which Is composed of E. W. Patton, J. E. Rankin, A. C. Reynolds, Dr. G. W. Purefoy and Dr. L, B. McBrayer, holds an Important meeting this aft ernoon for the purpose of considering and passing regulations for the sani tary government of the county. A draft of the proposed regulations has been prepared. It Is divided Into 20 sections. Most of the sections refer to the duties of the bounty health officer but a few of them, such as the reporting of contagious diseases, are addressed directly to the people. If the regulations are passed as proposed it would seem that most of the time of the health physician will be taken up In discharging hi, duties. Besides looking after the contagious diseases and instructing the people in their management, he would be re quired to visit the schools of the county, vaccinate the school children, examine them for various ailments. and deliver lectures to them on the prevention of disease. He would also see that the grounds ore kept sani tary. One new regulation proposed Is that births shall be reported to the health officer. In the event that the regulations carry the committee recently appoint ed from the Buncombe County Medi cal society for the purpose will again go before the board of county com m.sioners and ask that they employ the county health officer for all his time. It is also probable that the committee will circulate petitions among the people for the purpose of Influencing the commissioners to take this action. . E Sentence Not Passed The Wickersham Saunders Case Is Now on Trial. In Superior court the case of Cor- penlng, Goldsmith, who was tried for housebreaking, , was concluded this morning, the jury returning a verdict of guilty. He was not sentenced. It wa charged that Ooldamlth, who is a young colored man. was found under a bed in the residence of George Fetalis on Cherry street about 1 o'clock on night a few week ago.
