Clarence V. T. Rlehesor la In a serious situation. There 1; little evidence before the public to in dicate that he has committed murder, but he had expressed the assurance that the grand Jury's investigation would clear htm, whereas that ody was not long In returning an indict ment against him. The law presume the minister Innocent; the popular mind Is not unwarranted, in the cir cumstances, in presuming him guilty. The flippant and the thoughtless, because this man has apparently fal len Into evil courses that led him to the dark crime of murdering a de pendent and trust young girl, may sneer at his holy calling. There is a rule that the exception proves the rule. . This means that if a man should fall out of a tenth story window and not break his neck, and nobody mar veled at it, falling out of high win dows would be a perfectly safe form of amusement The rule is that this is a very dangerous diversion, and the wonder It would excite In people's minds. If one should do it without In Jury, would prove this rule. Judged by the ordinary standards of conduct clergymen are better than other men. Of all men, educated men would commit fewer crimes than the unlettered, without reference to a different condition, because there are fewer educated men. All things be ing equal, professional men would commit fewer crimes than unprofes sional educated men, if in a minority; and ministers fewer crimes than other professional men, because fewer in number. But as a matter of fact. It is what we call a bigger news story for a min ister to violate the laws than it is for a man of any other class to do so, as is clearly proved by the estimate of the newspaper makers and readers. The mere profession that a man is a holy man does not account for it If priests were commonly overtaken in felony, little account would be taken of such a case. There are compara tively few people with eyes of different color, yet If such a person committej a brutal murder ths fact that he be longed to this small class would excite no particular comment. Morality Is a confluent of spiritual ity, and spiritual leadership develops a strengthening sense of responsibility. The minister is a better man than tin man in the pew, too, because his men tal exercise Is toward the ideal; h. work does not soli his hands. Tht man in the pew encounters other men. most part of his time, in contest foi material things. He Is prone to be ab orbed In this battle for a sufficiency of bread and meat, to reach on and on for more than a sufficiency, to lay something for himself and those de pendent upon him in case of a rainy day.; Even If he disdains unclean methods, even If he ateera clear of the many temptations to use forbidden weapona of Warfare, a deceit and dishonesty, still his mind la exercised about the material, rather than the ideal. So by the very nature of the eae the responsibilities of leadership and the nature of his work, the min ister is farther removed from the aanger of perversion, of having his morality undermined, of losing his moral bearings, than the good layman. It proves nothing to tiie discredit of the men In the ministry aa a class nor the cause they represent, when ene of them falls. It Is a new proof. which Is not needed, that all men are common clay, and that h who think- th he sundeth must constantly take heed. 1 '1M' T TIIVT CAKJtOT HE 'i M l i Or"K, miixt B..-.L a imit that a rep " n ouijht to b ! 11 I". It Is il- '-' ,. ii, .co incidental to Its more specific pur- poses, is Just now striking some mighty effective blow for truly rep resentative government, : working along a comparatively new line. The direct nomination . of President and Vice President seems to have , been little thought of until recently. That would not secure representative gov-J ernment, to be sure, but It will power fully emphasise it; If the voters can nominate their President, they will ask, why not their congressmen and legislators, their sheriffs and con stables? The States which have adopted what is called the Oregon plan of popular vote for , candidates for party nomination for President and Vice President, with the dates on which the primary votes will be had, are: North Dakota, March 19; Wisconsin. April 2; Nebraska, April 17; Oregon,' April 17; New Jersey, May 28. The Progressive league and its president. Senator Bourne, are by no means content with this handful of States, although the results in their primaries are going to be significant and are going to have their influence n, the national conventions they are stirring the party rank and file in all he States to demand an unofficial irimary, to be held 30 days prior to he national conventions next sum-! ner. The legislatures of six or eight hitches in these preparations this states will meet this winter, and ev-1 branch would already have been es rv effort will be made to secure the ' tarnished and It Is practically certain , rl , V , .that it will be anyway within a very egalued Presidential primary in those gnort whne- pian may also be on States. ! This Is a movement that cannot be headed. Some of these States will the parties' nact the plan into law. n other States will adopt It. A can- lidate cannot verv well nhlert tn It. and when the national conventions , meet the party leaders will have be-' fore them a pretty definite idea asL. rhr is a small foreign ele- to whom the people wish nominated, i Whether they will nominate them, 1 :his time, is another question. The plan of popular election of United States senators has been adopted in Oregon, Nebraska, Ne vada, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Kansas, California and Wisconsin. BAD SIGNS. The poet, William Blake, was cer tain that A dog starved at his master's gate Predicts the ruin of the state. A horse misused upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. .The wild deer, wand'ring here and there Keeps the human soul from care. This country is In a very bad way When it sends Its money west for hay; When we buy apples from New York, And depend on Armour A Co. for pork. He might have added. If he had thought of it The Initiative and referendum Idea, pernicous and dangerous as it ap pears to the conservative mind, is moving through the west on the wings of a desperate discontent. The west- srn people are turning to this meas ure, not so much because they are in clined by nature to the bizarre, as be cause there are inirrown evils that they are desperately determined to cure, regardless of snv after effects of the dose. Initiative and referen dum amendments have been adopted In South Dakota, Oregon, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nevada, Missouri, Montana, Arkansas anything may happen in Arkansas Maine and California, and have been endorsed by legislatures for mbmisslon to a vote of the people In Washington. Wyoming, North Dakota, Vebraska, Florida not so very far west and Wisconsin. If a man, living right in the heart f Asheville, can produce on half an Acre all the vegetables he needs and ell 1500 worth besides, in a season. iow much profit Is there In complain ng about hard time?

The Salisbury Post tells or ship ment of cattle, sheep and hogs that Pas through Salisbury dally from East Tennessee Bains' tn RMmn.j and other northern markets and -won- aers wny Western North Carolina can t find this stock-raising and mar keting profitable. Neighbor Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga countlea axe extensively engaged in this business, and chance are, some of the very lock you see waa bred and raised In these mountain counties, but Tennes see and Virginia have built railroads into this territory and mad bid for our North Carolina trade. Your own farmer-congressman, Boh Dougbton, Is no doubt, shipping catle right now from fountain City or Shouna, Tennessee or Marian or Oalex. Virginia either point 2 to 10 mile nearer than any shipping point in his congressional district, and this dis tance mean a great deal when you are getting beef cattle to market. North Carolina la losing mighty good trad by not hastening railroads Into her mountain counties. Char lotte News. i THE NKW TRAINS.

I Uncle Sam, represented by Post master General Hitchcock, evidently believes there Is a rich field in west ern North Carolina for postal savings 1 banks. Last week branches of the j bank were started in the offices at j Marshall and Canton, and with those nlnuidv established in Asheville, I waynesville and HendersonvUle, this makes quite a nest of them wttnin a radius of a few mile. Preparations are known to be going on, too, for the establishment of another branch at tho Riltmore office. But. for some font for their establishment In other nearby towns but if so they have not vet been divulgea. wun muse m- wor : is closer man in uj h - thn state. These banks are supposed to appael "tore strongly to the foreign element ,V(H ,hBt' this is largely the There is a small foreign ment in western North Carolina so 11 " matter or conjecture as w the deparament has paid so much at tention to this section. All of the banks are doing excep- l tlonally well. The local bank isv hy I ..nn nt ths ix nf this city, out stripping the others in the amount of business but the others, it is said, are doing their proportionate share and all are daily growing in favor. The local branch, which was established October 14, had 18 accounts opened during the IS days It was open last month. The amount of the deposits cannot be given out but the officials state that those who have opened ac counts seem to mean business, as they continue to come back and add to their deposits. As an example of how these depos its can grow by the saving of small sums, it is said that one man has de posited $18 here by the stamp system. By this method a card is issued with a stamp on it and can be purchased for 10 cents. The holder of the card can continue buying stamps and put ting on the card until he has 10. He then exchange the card for a dollar certificate. Saving $18 by that meth od in the short time the bank ha? been open here shows what the small depositor can do, and when the work ing people get acquainted with the system It is practically certain that the deposits will increase rapidly. POLICE COURT Only Two Casm for Adjudication and the Defendant Were Treated Leniently. The session of Police court was rather short this morning, there be ing only two cases on the docket to be disposed of. One of these was Walter Cook, who was charged with being drunk. He admitted the charge but plead for leniency, aa he said he had been "straight" for about a year. Judge Adams was interested most, however. In where he got the whis key. Cook din't appear to remember very well at first but finally said that it was from a negro on West College street. He was pressed for details and asked for a description of ths itinerant "tiger. " He said the man waa a brown negro and answered to the name of "Crip." He was aked if he cculd locate him and said he thought he could, whereuoon Judse Adams suspended Judgment in his case up'on payment of the cost and advised him to produce the negro. The other case waa one asjalnst James Carter, an old negro drayman. ior soliciting baggage in the Southern depot. He was turned up by Andy Finney, another drayman not Quite as old. There has existed for some time a bitter feud between Jim and Fin ney, which started in a little "scrap" sometime-ago. Jim turned Finney up for the same thing once, but he Insist ed thla morning that the latter should be looking after his own business. Judge Adam advised them to form a trust and go in partnership but there waa "nothing doing." The de fendant submitted to the case but asked the court to be a light as pos sible on him. He waa let off with the coat. TELLS 07 GENTLEMEN'S PACT AT SPRINGFIELD Lee O'Nrtl Browne, Legislative Minor. My Leader, WIum-m In Lurtmer Inquiry. Chicago, Nov. . Lee O'Nell Browne of Ottawa, 111., former minor ity leader In the state legislature, was a wanes yesterdsy before the cora mlttue of United Slates senator in vestigating the Lo rimer election. "A rhlld-llke faith In the tenet or friendship and a lack of knowledne of the devious ways of politic,' said Browne, "led me to believe that opeaser nnuruen favored me a a minority leader for the forty-sixth general assembly. I haV heard since, however, that he feared that with my if followers, and eondltlmsi a they were on tne republican side that I mign becomn the real apeaker of tne nouse." Browne said he first met Charle A. White about a month before the legls- laiur convened at Springfield, In January, 1107. Browne said K.lwsrd D.
