WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON. N. C. Tuesday": BtoEiroro, May 19; MUST PAT THE PRICE OF GSEATH2SS. 1 Speaking about the part this country is destined to play as a con trolling factor on the Pacific, Mr. - Roosevelt in his San Francisco 'speech said: V "We need to understand the com manding position already occupied, and the 'infinitely more command-; ioar Dositlon which will be occapied in the future by our nation on the Pacific This la the greatest or ail me oceans; i rvhrf wMeh.durtn the eenturypen . in?, must pass under American influ ence and. as mevitaoiy nappens wnen a great effort comes, it means,, that a great burden of responsibility accom ' panies the effort A nation cannot be greaUarlthout piying the price of greatness, and only a ; craven nation will object to paying that price" Hf Half a century ago some American statesmen foresaw in part at least the part this country was to play in the affairs of that great ocean. One of Daniel Webster's speeches on this subiect - reads almost like an in spired prophecy; but landgrabbing constituted no feature of that horo scope. He believed that American energy, assertiveneas; and resojofce f olness would give 4 this country prestige oyer other nations. . It has done it, and did it without putting this country in the' class of; sea pirate or land grabber. That plan of achiev ing influence and greatness was left the expanders of a later day. With all their flamboyant talk of greatness, a "world - nower " an in flnence wielder, etc,, this country ranked as high a half century ago aa a world power as she does now, and her influence on that . and other oceans was quite as great. But con ditions have changed in the . past half century; land grabbing among the nations has become the order of the day, and we have done some of it ourselves, although we try- to dis- guise the grab under the name of purchase. When Mr. Roosevelt speaks of the "commanding position already oc cupied," as nothing compared with the position to be occupied in the future, he had without saying so the acquisition of the Philippines in mind, for. the possession of these brings us more directly in contact with that aide of the globe, makes as more interested in the move ments of other land grabbing na tions, and necessarily to some ex tent a participant in political and economic questions on Asiatic shores, the inevitable result of which win , in time be '.'entangling alli ances," against ' which we were cau tioned. , Greatness ; ia an 1 expansive ' word and may tjoyer many' things, i There is greatness in war, greatness in peace, greatness in development, greatness in commerce, greatness in other things, but whjn speaking of greatness and the price to be paid for it Mr. Roosevelt was probably thinking of commercial greatness, aided and hastened by territorial expansion, which it might be nee cessary to maintain by armies, and navies. This was the price he ! had in mind, part of which we. have al ready paid for bur grab of the Philippines. But perhaps he was thinking of something f else., t .Since he . started out pnJhia f wing ?rotfndi new condU ' tions have arisen in China; growing out of the game that Russia is play ing in Northern China, the portion of that empire in which this conn try is especially interested on ac count of the trade we did there and the greater trade we expected to do in the future. . There is no one who has studied the conditions there who has any ideathat Russia has any intention" of ever surrendering supremacy over Manchuria, or that she will be content ' with that and ' not take possession, under some pretext, .of more. The only nation that Is dis vposed to fight to prevent this is Japan, because she considers the establishment of Russian power on the shores "of ;the ' Pacific, , in ; her latitude, a menace .' not only to her commerce," but to' her power and prestige. The " European na tions, while they may talk, and pro test, have no idea of going to : war to prevent landgrabbing. in "China, and the probabilities are that they will come to some understanding by which each will be permitted to pick out his piece to grab, and thus avert aconiict.: 1 DilUUl " A suspicion already exists among the officials In Washington that there are understandings to this' effect be tween "England and. France and RuV- . m .vcj; Tim-. wis.eiaiB.caoice pieces and let Germany and Japan do thetett.f thef rcai on th&ir hook; These, suspicions seem to be founded ba "the reports of consuls. u anameaoaiemens 01 we aiarm some '. a. - 4) xl "R nor I? all afj.formnn ; inhved OVfiT f.Vio Russian? movements 5 IntJhina. .

We caa't consist ently object to that kind 'of : grab bing since we went grabbing in the Philippines, and . we cannot say much about "open doors" in those spheres of influence, for we have practically closed the door, as far as tariffs can do i by our tariff sys tem applied io those islands. But with the grab of the Philippines we have .-. put ourselves in a position where we must, if necessary,, buck up against o ther nations, ' for ' we will need ships to protect those pos sessions, although with , European domination of China they will be of little use to us. - As elements of "greatness" they will not figure much. Our greatness on that ocean will come from the ships that J. B. HOI and others are putting on it, and that kind , of greatness costs nothing but effort and perseverance. THE WOEST PRESIDBHT. A writer in the. Boston Herald, independent in politics, . quotes "a yery :j prominent Republican one whom the country knows well, the mention of whose name would be a surprising revelation" as saying that: 'President Roosevelt is i ' the worst President this country has ever had, that he has already done more harm than Bryan ever could have done and that he is a constant and dangerous surprise." This is a sweeping indictment, but he is not the only prominent Republican who believes that : way, in part at least, and there is ground for it. Mr. Roosevelt talks glibly about self-sacrifice for country patriot ism, and is given to proclaiming his devotion to duty and to coun try and yet there never has been more of a trimmer in the White House, nor one who more openly, persistently and boldly subordinated his administration to his own ambi tion. He does not believe in letting f the office seek the man" for ever since-he has been in the Presiden tial chair he has been playing for a nomination by his party, and doing it so openly that it is apparent to every one. Perhaps it would not be courteous to call him n dema gogue, but there is 'not among the. politicians of the country a man who plays more to the multitude, or goes further to make the masses believe that he is especially inter ested in them. There is nothing from messing with cowboys, kiss ing babies, and shaking hands with : negro policemen that he hasn't done. In addition to this he has vacillated and finally craw fished on great public questions to' placate the interests he had es tranged by the apparently aggress ive position he first took. The fact is that Roosevelt playing? for a nomination for the presidency is no more the Roosevelt when he - first took the vacant chair than the Roosevelt , of to-day is the Rough Rider of 1898. He was always im petuous, impulsive, but he had the reputation of being honest, a repu tation which has been sadly marred since the consuming ambition to be nominated for the presidency has taken possession of Turn. Yielding to that, he has done the country in calculable harm, and has done some things that have .in a gieat measure undone much of the good work that time and his predecessors had done. ,. HE LISCEEDITS HUtSELE. . Some time ago ex-cashier of the Washington Postoffice, S. W. Tull- och published a statement that much wrong-doing, of which the officers in authority in the Postal Department had knowledge, had been covered up, and that they had made no effort to expose the wrong doing or to punish the guilty. 'His charges went back - two or . three years. ." . - " :- -'- When Postmaster General Payne saw this statement he made light of it, called in question the motives for making It, and finally demanded that Mr. Tulloch present his charges definitely, in such shape that they could be Investigated, or "shut up" Mr. Tulloch has accepted this ban ter and presented his charges in writing, with names and dates, but Instead of taking them , for what they were worth and investigating them before he made a public state ment in reference to them the Post master General, In a published interview, ; pronounces someof them groundless, others : trivial and shows a decided disposition to discredit .Tulloch and thereby dis credits himself. ..Jf .he were a paid attorney for the defence he could not showmore zeal in arguing against the man who presents these charges, than he does in discussing them and in questioning the motives ' and sin cerity of the man who makes them- That is not a creditable course for man to pursue who occupies a position which should make him anxious to expose and punish wrong-: doers, , instead of trying, to screen them, as he seems to, be doing and to discredit testimony , of ered hefore any investigation is- made.

JAMmlngton. Nothing is more .dangerous, if neglected, than kidney disease. If allowed to run on, it attacks every organ and every part of the body. Here's a Wilmington case in point, in which a well known citizen points the short way out. . E. Poeiolt, merchant tailor, of 8 South Front St.', residing at 315 North Sixth street, says: "My wife used Doan's Kidney Pills and in her case they proved to be an effective remedy. She suffered with - her ankles and could scarcely get down stairs in the morning. We thought it was rheumatism and" her ankles would be all puffed up every morn ing so she could hardly hobble around. Since , obtaining Doan's Kidney Pills at R. R. Bellamy's drug store and taking them she seemslike another -person. Sbe is better In the morning, . the swelling left her ankles and from the great relict she obtained we are only too glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to others."

Y., sole agents for the United States. : - Remember the .name Doan's and take no substitute, my 17 lw object be to discourage others from makingomplaints or charges Post master General Payne is pursuing the right course, but Is he not doing himself any credit.' " If the ' Indiana preacher who in vented anon-refillablebottle,doesn't settle with his conscience pretty quick and close with that distillery man who offered him $1,000,000 for the exclusive use of it, those two South Carolina chaps who invent ed and patented one two ago years and forgot all about it may slip in be tween him and the distillery man. They haven't any conscience to wrestle with in a matter of that kind. At the last election for mayor in the town of Amesville, Ohio, 261 voteswere cast and a dwarf four feet one inch high was elected two to one over his competitor. He is small in stature, but looms up in other respects, for he is charged with being a tramp, a drinking man, ignorant and immoral. The men who voted for him say they did it for a joke on the other man. But a town with so many fools in it isn't entitled to much of a mayor. CURRENT UWMENT Gen. Miles might as well make up his mind to be content witlfseoond money. Is is officially announced that the German Em peror spends $25,000 a year on his uniforms. Washington Post, Ind. - Booker Washington has un- 4aken many difficult tasks in a very worthy desire to help his race, but his latest effort to stop them from knocking off on excursion daysis, we should say, the most unpromis of the lot, Norfolk Ledger, Dem. , The last Congress was ex ceedingly generous - with the peo ple's money, the total appropria tions being $1,553,683,002, or oyer $113,000,000 In excess of the appro priations of : its "predecessor. The only : extraordinary . item of this amount Is the $50,000,000 for the Panama canal. An analysis of this enormous, almost . incomprehensible expenditure will probably afford the Democratic campaign leaders a vast deal of pleasure preliminary to the campaign cf 1904 as .well, as some very convincing arguments for popu lar consumption in behalf of a change of administration.
