The current number of Harper's Weekly contains the follow ing editorial announcement: To our readers: 41 We make the, following reply to many inquiries from readers of Harpei's Weekly: "The name of Woodro w Wilson as our candidate for President was taken down from the head of these columns in response . to . a statement made to us direct ly by Governor Wilson, to the effect that our support was affecting his candidaey injuriously. "The only course left open to us, in- sample fairness to Mr. Wihon, no less than in consideration of our own self-respect, was to cease to advocate his nomination. ' 4 We make this explanation with great reluctance and the deepest regret . But we cannot escape the conclusion that the very considerable number of readers, who have co-operated earnestly and loyally in advancing a move ment which was inaugurated solely in the hope of render ing a high public service, are clearly entitled to this in formation." x - Princeton, N. J., Jan. 16. When seen at his home here tonight Governor Wilson re fused to make any comment upon the editorial which ap- 'peared in Harper's Weekly giving the reason for taking the governor's name, as a presidential candidate; Irom the head of the columns of that weekly.; A Hero In A Lighthouse. -For years JrS.

Rig Eients Reduced to Little Paragraphs - for the Readers of This Paper. The House judiciary committee of CongresB has formed a resolu tion to the effect of changing the date of the presidents inaugura tion from , March the 4th to the last Thursday in April. Former Governor James ! K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, was elected to the United Stat)0. sen ate on January 16th for the term beginning March 4, 1912, to take the place made vacant by Senator Leroy Percy. There was no dis senting yote in either the assem bly or senate of .the state legisla ture, when Mr. Vardaman's name was presented . "The fifteenth regiment, Un ted Statei infantry, whiob will guard the section of the railroad from Peking to the coast arrived at Chin Wang Ta-) aboard the trans port Logan, Friday. Bills to reduce letter postage to one cent have been introduced in both houses of Congress. There is . much talk recently that Senator Cummins, of Iowa, a progressive republican, will be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, but no definite -word has been given on the subject. The talk of Cum mins' candidaoy indicates that by no means all the progressives are back of the candidaoy of Senator La Follette. With a return of quiet condi tions in the mill' district of Law rence, Mass., through the pres- enoe oi eignt oompanitB ot militia, State and city officials nave busied- themselves to onng a bent a speedy settlement of the difficulties existing between the 5,000 striking textile workers and mill owners. It ii possible the striker may be settled by Arbi tration." Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief j of the chemistry bureau of the De partment of Agriculture, the storm center of the food law ad ministration controversy1 laBt summer, is given a olean bill oi health in the report of the House committee that investigated the charges and countercharges. The committee, in its report, which was presented to the House Mon day, sustained Dr. WiUy all along the line, except on technical un important detailj. The cabled appeal for recogni tion of the Chinese republicans, signed by Foreign Minister Wang Chung Wei, was received by the State Department Friday. It is regarded as marking a serious crisis in the important negoti ations now going on in China for the restoration of peaea to the distracted country, for the de cision of the State Department upon the appeal is certain to have great influence upon the five other powers interested in the situation. It is probable that the department will not move in the matter until it has conferred with these powers. ' The strike of the Lancashire cotton mill employes at Man chester, Mass., which was called December 27, affecting about 300 000 men, has been. i settled. The question - at issue between employers aud workers was the employment of non-union labor. All the mills were reopened on Monday, ine operatives by a two to one vote agreed to accept a truce for a year. This is regarded as a victory for tin employers. The rank and file of the opera tives-are satisfied with thesettle ment, but the anion leaders are displeased with it as their Jiffi- culties in persuading non-union ists to join the unioLs will be in creased. Death in the electric chair will be tbe expiration of O. V. T. Richeson's brutal murder of , his girl sweetheart, Avis LinnelL Hope of executive clemency that bouyed up the ministerial mur derer so that he was able to stand calmly and listen to Judge San derson's sentence of death was WHAT IS BEHIND THIS? , Posfmjster-Genera! Will Recommend 6ai eminent Owner - ship of Telegraphllness. When official at Washington and politicians generally read in th papers that the postmaster-general wou'd recommend to congress that the government take over the telegraph lines, a big stir was ereat9d. President Taft himself was mere or less shocked and summoned the postmaster general to the white house. Representa tives generally declined to discuss the subject -though a number of them spoke out -for'-and against it. The recommendation will go to congress and then it will be up to that body, ; The telegraph companies got a1 shock when they beard of the matter, and one and all expressed grave doubts about the wisdom of the government taking any such step. However, their opinion isn't to be considered because they are interested parties . Representative Moon of - the posfceffioe c ommittee of vhe house announced that the subject would be given careful attention, speaker Clarkr efused to discuss so weighty a proposition off hand, as did Leader Underwood and Mr. Mann, the republican leader, handled it gingerly. Others, both republicans and democrats, came out strong for government ownership ancf strqng againit the government's doing a thing that individuals could do. One congressman sees politics in it, and declares that Hitch cock is only trying to draw atten tiog away from Taft and the ccm- ing election. Cot In Express Rates Expected. Washington, Jan. 16, Ex press charges throughout ,the United States, it became known today, are to be mas terially reduced by the inters state .commerce commission, as a result of a number of hearings before Commissioner Lane of New York and other places. An opinion by Mr. Lane in the case was made to the commission the latter part of December, in which he attacked the system of express rates as excessive and unreasonably high in nearly every respect. abandoned Fridiy by his counsel and his few remaining friends. A horrible butchery took place at Sian Fu, China, some days ag". A mob surrounded the school es tablished by the Scandinavian missionary,' R. Beckman,' who.was injured severely but escsped later to Hankcw. His wife was killed. The . school was fired on three sides and theumoh butchered the fleeing children with axes and j9 pears, ine oity gates were closed for four days while the mobs murdered ten thousand Manchus. : The State Dapartment has served notice on President Gomes that the United States will inter venemCuba if further attempts are made by the veteran- org am zation to nulify the law prohibit ing the interference of the mill tary in political affairs in Cuba. President Taft Thursday after noon pardoned Charles W. Mors, the banker convict. .The pardon is to take eff est immediately. Secretary of War Stimson called upon President Taft has to discuss the Cubian situation The president informed Mr. Stim son he did not believe that actu al intervention in Cuban . affairs would t be necessary 1 but that the warning note sent several days ago to the Cuban government through Minister -Beaupre, the American diplomatic representa tive-in Havana sumcient tore move i all objections of this country. More than 18.000,000 letters and paroels were reoeived at the deal- letter office in Washington last year, the daily reteipts aver aging 44,600 pieoes, an increase oy6r the previous year of8 per cent. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE JO MEET.. The Friends or Temperance to Rather In Raleigh and Discuss Matters of Interest, Anti-Saloon: League Head quarters, .Wilson,. N. C It is the opinion of 'the Executive Committee of i'.the AntN Saloon League ,that' the time has come when it is wise for the friends of prohibition and temperance to again assemble in Convention at "our State Capital and counsel together for the advancemet of the cause that has proven such an unbounded 4; blessing to our State and tcH the welfare of humanity. The liquor "interests are watching night and .day for any signs of laxity bl interest or effort on the part of the friends of temperance any where in the whole country. Wherever they : find or im- agine sucn signs xo exist, they at once concentrate their strength to reeaj ture that section for the exploitation of their bellish business The first great battle forthe cause of civic righteousness, the, overthrow of the license system, has been won by a large majority in North Caro lina and the voice of tbe people ought to be final. Two objects now demand .our attention, une is tne growing evil of the interstate traffic. We are glad to see that the time is approaching when the National Congress is likely to take cognizance of this evil, and it is desired that we, with' men of like faith all over the nation, take counsel together on this sub ject. In December a great National . Conference met at Washington, D. C, to con? sider this evil, the influence of which has been very wholesome -The other ob ject is the better enforcement of our State laws, along with line teaching and preaching oi personal aosunence. Ihe Executive Committee at its meeting in Raleigh on January 4th, called a meeting of the. temperance forces to assemble in Raleigh in Con vention on January 26, 27, 28, 1912, and in the . name of this committee, we therefore invite the friends of temper ance throughout the State- to be present on this occasion. Local Anti-Saloon Leagues, Law Enforcement Leagues, Churches, Sunday Schools, Boards of Trade, and in fact organizations of all kinds, are requested' to send dele gates. Speakers of National and international reputation have already been secured; among them lion. John (i. Wooley, author, statesman and orator of international fame, at one time the nominee of the Pro hibition party for President of the United States; CaDt.

Harshaw, rugged son of a rugged eec tion or. a rugged state, m a communication to the Greens boro News: "We think -we know something cf the senti ment of the Repubiicaner in the mountain counties, and we assert that" ninetenth of the Republicans of western North Carolina are opposed to ' the renomination of the president: and we predict that should he be the Re publican candidate for presi dent every congressional dis trict in North Carolina will increase its Democratic majority. All the cloe" counties will go Democratic and the Republicans of the stat6 will bo known by their mistakes j and blunders." Well, Moses, old chap, you are probably right, but the fact that you're right doesn't make any difference, fot President Taft will have a solid delegation from North Carolina to the convention. The trouble you see, Moses, is this: The president is the dispenser of the good things of lite, and even if licked for the nomination,, he will still be president for nigh onto ten months after the con vention, and a president, if he be so deposed, con do a raft of things in ten months.
