WILLIAM H. BB3WARD Editor and Proprietor. Fbiday, - - March 17, 1905. BSTAX'8 APPROVAL OP ROOSE VELT. The Hon, William J. Bryan In the lait Issue of his paper says: "The Commoner has had occasion to commend Mr. BooseTelt In seTcr al particulars, and now that he has ' been Inaugurated to serre during the term for which he was elected, It expresses the sincere hope that it may bars many opportunities for S ring its appioyal of his efforts, en of all political parties are it r ly ing for the same end good govern ment. The rank and file of parties may differ as to the methods to be employed in obtaining that end. Some of them may for a time be deceived and kent In ignorance con cernlng the real purpose of their leaders, but sooner or later men moving with a common, purpose will mass themselves against a common enemy, and sooner or later popular government, in tbe best sense or me term, will be restored. Then men who have thriven and grown fat through special interests will be re quired to remove the shackles they nave placed upon the limbs of the people." Referring to the above the Wash ington Post says: "In an editorial in the latest issue of the Commoner, the title of which la Theodore Kooaevelt,' Mr. Bryan continues his snuggling np to the President with a graceful ardor that Tom Watson cannot excel, gifted as he is In that particular variety of rhetorical eloquence which is best adapted to snuggllng-np purposes." "In the main that is about correct manly, patriotic thought express ed In good English. But a person Inclined to be critical might remind Mr. Bryan that the Constitution of the United States does not provide for 'popular government In the best' or in other "sense of the term.' On the contrary, the Constitution makes unalterable provision against 'popular government" a provision that cannot be abrogated without dissolving the Union and taking a new start. The Bouse of Repre sentatives is the only branch of our government . whose members are elected by the people. We never have had 'popular government;' therefore it Is a mistake to say that, under any possible conditions, It 'will be restored.' H." Another expression in that ex tract is open to criticism. "The men who have grown fat through rpeclal interests', assuming that sir. urjan alludes to tbe benefllci axles of certain tariff schedules that facilitate oppression of the masses for the enrichment of a few, are not responsible for any "shackles upon the limbs of the people." They are not the agents chosen by the people BttM to from a tsjrlffa F.m inent statesmen In both houses of several successive Congresses.states men for whose official acts or failure to act the Republican party is re sponsible, forged and adjusted those "shackles." "But many men in this happy and . prosperous country have "thriven and grown fat" by honest and lawful means since and by rea son of the defeat of Mr. Bryan and currency debasement In 1896. The Post expresses the general sentU ment of the people in congratulat ing Mr. Bryan on tho great pros perity that has come to him as the result of defeat. The Post and the people note with sincere pleasure that prosperity has not spoiled Mr. Bryan." Without reference to any politi cal tennet held by Col. Bryan, we can't see why a man of his ability and. virility could not bo prosperous .whether the Republican or Demo cratic party were in power. The men who think politics bring pros perlty except to those who profit from the emoluments of office, gov ernment contracts, or graft, had better study the law of supply and demand or learn to recognize the knock which Mr. Dooley says op portunity gives at least "wanst" at every man's door. However we may disagree with Colonel Bryan in his political ideals, hd is broad enough and big enough not to be grouchy. Looks that way to a man np a tine. Says the Durham Herald: "If tho man who edited the volume devoted to men of mark In North Carolina puts his name on the title page he may expect to hear from some body." Somebody going to throw mudat'lm because they were not men of cheque enough to be able to Igure in tbe pages of "Men of Mark?" It is announced that surgery has now reached such a state that a man's backbone can be doubled In strength. Most politicians whose backbones are so weak that they In variably take to the fence will surely be compelled to have an operation If they hope to stand before the peo pie in the next campaign. Many a man thinks he has a great head on him till he marries and finds out that his wife can mak6 his head swim without half trying. The situation . in Russia . now seems to be that if she can frenzy the finance she will send out some more soldiers to be sent to grass.

Beptcscstatlves' tress Towss All Aloef the Propose Use Met Yssterisy at Fsrijth Metropolis--ML 9. H. Fries Bcklal ths Icbeae. Special Star TeleammA WiasT0Br8aXJEK, N. O.,- March 15. The building of tbe Winston-Salem Southbound Railway, from Wlnaton Salem to a connection of the Atlantic Coast Line straight for Charleston, B. O., seems now assured. At a largely attended mass meeting at the Elks auditorium in this city to-day, where delegations from a dosen cities and towns along the line of the proposed road set forth their claims and offered aii!stance, it bectmo evL-env that there is bo looser any doubt of tbe success of tbe project In a nutshel'. there la back of the scheme a wonder ful plan looking forward to tbe con struction of the Panama Canal.- The plan embraces the connecting of the Norfolk and Western, the great coal ' hauling road, with both the Seaboard acd Atlantic Coast Line tystems, and the entrance Into Charleston, o. OL, a city : south oi Uape Uatteras. By connecting with the two great ays ttms mentioned, it means the delivery to them of their entire supply of coal for their Southern points OTer the Southbound railway, and it means the conduction of a great coaling station at Oharleatoo. where all TeneU bauod for Pacific points through tbe Panama canal can coal south oi tne areaaea Cape Halteras. Yet the Norfolk Western denies any connection with the olan. It la evident, however, that Charleston Is only S3 miles further from tbe csnal fields than Norfolk; that It Ilea south of Halteras and that the Norfolk & Western the coal hinting, road. Col. F. H. Fries to day in bis speech before tbe mass meeting decliredtbat the men behind him assured him It was an Independent line to be built to taka advantage of the situation, and thatit waaonhlapait tbe fulfillment nf Ma original nlan when he started the work of building tbe Boanoke and Southern. But it makes no difference who is behind the plan, it Is evident that the construction of tbe road would open up a country and afford connec tions for tbe people along its lines that would make it tbe great deliverer as a freight-hauling road. It will afford connection here with the Norfolk and Weitern and Southern for all points to tbe cities of tbe North and West and connections near th Rfluth Carolina line wun tne nor forlk ft Western and Seaboard Air Line for all points South .and South west. Three things seem evident: irirat. tha backers require a halt mil lion dollars to be put np by the com mlttees along tbe line - of the road. Second: the communities along tha threa routes being eonsiaer- mI r tumbling over one an athar in their offer of aasiatanee. and. third, that Col. P. H. Fries, tbe mmm mi thii head, who has already created so much for the development of the of the Boutb. president of the Wachovia Loan and trust Com pany, tbe largest financial institution of this State, president of a half doxen hit cotton mills and director of others. and the man whose creative genius put Wlaaton-Salem In touch with tbe coal fields, has said he will dohla level beet to build 1L and this means that tha road will be built . The man meeting bere to-day waa held for tbe purpose of getting an ex presslon of people along the three routes being considered and to get information concerning the resources of the different sections. Tbe three routes nroDoaed are as follows : One from Winston 8alem, via High Point: down tbe Moharrie river and along the left bank of tbe Pee Dee river to Rockingham and Hamlet; thence connecting with the Atlantic Coast Line at Gibson for Charleston. Another route via Lexington and Wadesboro. connecting with the At lantle Coast Line at the latter point for Charleston. A third route via Lex lngton. ML Pleasant, Monroe, Jeffer son, 8. C, McBee, 8. C, connecting with the A. O. L. near Sumter for Charleaton. Still there Is another route bidding for the road by Salisbury. Concord and Monroe. Delegations from all the points In this Bute and from severs South Carolina points, were present at the meeting, which was presided over by W. T. Brown, Esq., president of tne Board of Trade, and was very en thuslastlc. Mayor Eaton delivered a splendid address of welcome and Hon..C. B. Watson spoke with great effect for Wlnston-Balem. pledged ber support. recalling the fact that since Forsyth county had voted ber first rrllrosd subscription her taxable property had Increased from two to fifteen million dollars. He was followed by OoLF. H. Fries, tbe president of the road, who said "This reminds me. gentlemen, of an occasion in April, 1888, when a npm ber of ns met at Boanoke, va.. and de elded to build the Boanoke and Boutb ern Railroad. The result was that Jn 1893 we bad the road completed aa far as Winston-Salem and bad It not been for the year 1893 and Its trouble, we should have continued South. It Is folly to expect any other system to build this roaa. xnree months ago a gentleman made the nronoaitlon to build the road from Winston-Salem to Charleston. I have confidence In this man and . I believe be Is Independent of existing railway systems and is fully able financially to to buna it. xnere are inree conoi tlons imposed: The representations made as to tbe cost of the road must be borne oat by surveys; the counties shall furnish free tbe right of way along the line, and that the sum of 1500.000 shall be raised bysubscrip tlon. Gentlemen, It Is left with you. The engineers are ready to start out to-morrow morning on their surveys. In tbe words of tbe street. It Is 'up to ns.' I believe this road will be built. (Applause.) - I'm not going to build the road, but I . am going to do my level best to have It put through sue ceaafnllv." (Annlsusr.) " "I hava told too all except the name of tbe men behind the offer to build the road. It would not be wlae for me to do this. . He tells me be can bntld tha road In nine months. Pay thamonev when the cross-ties and iron hava been laid: that is tbe best, gentlemen: this road will be built." Then foltowed speeebee by repre sentatives of the seversl delegations.

The Raleigh Post Saya the startling discovery Is made that Chapter 73, Acta of 1905, just msde effective, re peals the general statute for the elec tion of county commissioners all over the 8tate and leaves the counties ab solute! v without any method of choos ing these important boards, with the exception of Warren, If the Supreme Court adheres strictly to the prece dent laid down In the famous decision of the accidental anti-jug law of 1903. Tbe Pott has high legal authority for e statement that there isnoleral machinery left for electing commis sioners In probably aM, save one, of the counties of the State. Ia the opinion of able lawyers the Supreme' Court would have to reverse its for mer decision, if the matter is tested, la order to escape this serious conse quence The idea is advanced that If such a state of affairs prevsils ac extra seuion of the legislature will be nec essary because without this machinery tbe government of every county in the State will be thrown out of tear and demoralized, all the old boards holding over. . .

It is worth considerable to any cit izen of Wilmington to know how to be cured of painful, annoying and Itching plies. Know then that Doan's Ointment ia a positive reme dy for all itchiness of the skin, for piles, eczema, etc. One application relieves and soothes. Bead this testimony of its merits: V. S. Hollen, printer on the Morn ing Messenger, residing at 419 Grace street, says: "I had nsed several remedies to get relief from itching piles but without any good results.

Observer: If the best tbat the detractors of tbe Legislature can do is to try to make them ont either knaves or simple tons by publishing weird stories of gross mistakes by which bills intend ed as looal laws are heralded as hav ing disastron general application, they had better swallow, their dis content in silence. The attempt to figure a general law ont of a town ship bill and do away with boards of commissioners with the provisions of an act giving the people of Warren county tbe right to elect their own officers, ia showed np in all ita ab surdity in onr local columns. The "jug-law" seems still to stick in the oraw; but the law upon whloh ' it is based cannot be invoked to make rattlesnakes of tadpoles, or govern mental lava of county and township bills.

As a devoted pupil of. Dr. William Osier, of Baltimore, I deem it my doty to endeayor to correct some of the f also impressions which have arisen from re ports of his recent valedictory address. In the first place, Dr. Osier was a stu dent in an old university and was doubt- leas familiar with the cramping effects of retaining men beyond their period of usefulness. Many of us have seen thia in our student days. In the second place, the address was delivered at a yonng on versity, most of whose work ers are young men and whose elder pro fessors are young In their symyathies and are in close tonch with their young er associates. One of the strongest proofs of tho wisdom of the advice in the address was its enthusiastic recep tion by bis older colleagues in the Johns Hopkins Faculty. Morever, th ' address was delivered at an educational institu tion where naturally . the students are younger men and women, and for that reason can best be reached by teachers young in their sympathies if not ia years. . A rain. Dr. Osier has devoted his life to a growing profession which in a ite of its boasted advances is still in its in fancy. I hav i heard him hold up the great unsolved problems to his students for their consideration." It might be well to note in this con nection tbat the policy of relievin. men from the active duties of life at definite periods has been adopted y armies, na vies, great transportation companies, etc In closing we should consid -r the In calculable blessing to the world in gen era! and the medical profession in par ticular if men like r. Osier would re serve tbe last ten year's of the Psalm ist's "three score years and ten" for rounding out and polishing a., the grt' mass of their scientific achievements and thus give it in a complete form to their professional children. Often has be spoken to small groups of ns around his library table of how he longed for the time to come when he could lay aside the rontine of class, clinic, etc., and shape up the work of his life and occasionally consult with young r mem bers of the profession in regard to spe cial cases. The chloroform clause was, as will be seen from the text, simply a quotation from a novel. The following ia a copy ot the text of the portion of the address which has evoked so much comment: Joseph Aeebmak. fixed term fob teachees. I am Koine to be very bold and touch on another question of some delicacy .but of infinite importance in university life, one that has not been settled in his country. I refer to a fixed period for the teacher, either of time of service or of age. Except in some proprietary schools, I do not know of any institutions in which there is a time limit of, say 2u years' service, as in some of t e London hospitals, or in which a man la engaged for a term of years. Unusually the ap pointment is aut vitam aut culpam, as the old phrase reads. It is a very eerl o s matter in our youn univen-itives to hate alt of the nrof essors rowing ol i at the same time. In some olaces oulv an epidemic, a time-limit, or an age limit. can save tne situation. MBIT V DEB FOBTT OBS1T WOBKBBS. I have two fixed, ideaa welt known va my friends, nannies obsessions with which I sometimes bore tnem. but which hare a direct bearin on this imiorta t problem. .The first ia tbe comparative uselessness of men above 49 years of ae. This may teein shucking, and yet read ar.ght the world's historv bears out the statement. Take the sum of human achievement in action, in science, in art, in literature subtract tbe work of tbe men above 40, and, while e should mis great treasures, even priceless treasures we would practically be where we a e to day. Ii is difficult to name a great and fas-reaching conquest of the mind uhich has not been given to tbe won I bra man on whose back the sun was s ui Buininav The effective, moving, vitaliz ing work or tbe world is aone between tha ages of 23 and 40 years these 15 golden years oi plenty, tne anabolic or constructive period, in which there is always a balance in tne metal bank : nit the credit is a ill good. In the science and art of medicine there has not been an advance of the first rank which haa not been initiated by young or comparatively young men. Vesalius. Harvey, Hunter, Bichat, Laennec, Virchow, Later, Kech-ihe green years were yet In their heads when their epoch-making studies were made. To modify an old saying,, a man is sane morally at 8U, rich mentally at 40, wise spiritually at 50 or never. The young men should be encouraged and afforded eyery possibles ance to show what is in them. If taere is one thing more than anotuer upon whicbf the prelessors of the university are to be congratulated, it is this very sympathy and fellowsaip with tneir junior associates, upon wnom real, ly in many departmentsjn mine certain. ly, has fallen tbe brunt ot the work. and herein lies tho chief valne of the teacher who has passed his climacteric and is no longet a productive factor; he can play the man mid wile, aa Becratea did to Thesstetus and determine wht ther the thoughts wbich the toung men are bringing to tbe light are false idols or A T 1 L!L. true sou nouio giruw.
