BHrhc "ay to argue down a vice is. not
i ■ tell lies about it, — to say that it has
attractions, when everybody knows
that it has, —but rather to let it make
out its case just as it certainly will in
the moment of temptation, and then
meet it with the weapons furnished by
the Divine armory.
HOW JUSTICE MISCARRIES.
In 1801 the Keystone National Bank,
of Philadelphia, failed, and President
Alarsh was found to have been guilty of
crooked conduct. He was indicted in the
i Federal court and gave a $20,000 bond
for his appearance. He “skipped" the
country, was gone five years, and the bond
I was forfeited. Later Congress gave the
I $20,000 to Mr. W. H. Wanamaker, who
■ had paid it. Then Marsh returned, en
■ tered a plea of guilty on three indict
ments, and was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for twelve years and three months.
He has served four years, and now Presi
dent Roosevelt has pardoned him, thus
requiring only a thirty-three per cent
punishment.
Such miscarriage of justice in the case
of bank wreckers, who are known to have
profited by their crookedness, does much
to cause the people to lose faith in the
equal administration of laws. Public offi
cials.misled by a natural sympathy for
men undergoing punishment, do much to
► destroy confidence in the courts. They
also tempt dishonest bank officials to
get rich by dishonesty in the hope that,
serving a short sentence, they may
putdoned and with pockets full of
s Kj oney, establish themselves in a foreign
liand.
China is as much too severe in its
punishment of bank officials —they hang
every officer and director when a bank
fails—as this country is too lax. The
punishment should be made to fit the
crime. The best way is for executive
officers, except in the extremest cases,
to let the sentence of the courts be car
ried out.
SEN ATOR QUAY’S CONSCIENCE.
Senator Quay is trying to get the Re
publicans to pass bills admitting New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma to State
hood. One of his arguments is that the
Republicans promised to make States
out of those territories in their national
platform. Here is the way Quay applies
the issue of conscience to his party:
“If the Republicans can lie to the peo
ple about the admission of the territories
in their platform, they can lie about
every other provision in the platform.’’
It is gratifying, even at this late day,
to sec that Senator Quay has a conscience,
and that he believes that his Republican
colleagues can be reached by an appeal
to stand by the party's solemn pledge. It
is too much to hope that they will fulfill
ary pledge that does not promise imme
diate party advantage, but it is a point
gained that a man like Quay puts it to
them clearly: The Republican party must
either admit the three territories or vio
late its solemn pledge. Nobody supposes
that any but the Republican territory of
Oklahoma will be admitted, but it is
barely possible that Quay may lash some
■who once called themselves “conscience
Republicans" into voting to keep their
party pledges.
The Republicans promised to suppress
the “bad trusts,” but they havn’t found
any. They told us they would perform
what Mr. McKinley declared to be a
“plain duty,” but so far they have failed
to do so because the sugar trust con
trolled enough Senators to defeat It.
They promised to extend and enforce the
civil service, but its abuse has been scan
dalous. Pledge after pledge has been bro
ken. Does Mr. Quay think that the Re
publican conscience is now hardened be
yond hope?
Senator Raion is right. The New State to
be admitted of Oklahoma should be named
Jefferson. The two greatest men Amer
ica has produced were Washington and
Jefferson. It is fitting that the capital
of the Republic and a State should be
named for Washington. The next State
should be named Jefferson and it should
be Oklahoma. It was Jefferson whose
wisdom and statesmanship made it a por
tion of this Republic.
The news from Washington is that all
the anti-trust bills before Congress will
be blocked. Republican hostility to trusts
usually ends with the election returns.
THE VENEZUELA SITUATION AND
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
The situation in Venezuela must give
pause to all Americans. The Monroe
doctrine, our pillar of cloud in our for
eign policy, commits us to prevent the
acquisition of territory by any European
country on this hemisphere. That doc
trine was first suggested in a letter from
Jefferson to Monroe and was afterwards
promulgated by Monroe. It has never
been affirmed by statute or acknowl
edged as binding by any foreign country.
But it is as much a part of our laws as
if it had been incorporated in the Con
stitution —our pillar of fire. Mr. Olney
truly declared of it that “the fiat of this
government is virtually law—on these
two continents.” The Monroe Doctrine
was thus enunciated by Monroe in his
message to Congress on the 2nd of De
cember, 1&23:
“We owe it, therefore, to candor and
to the amicable relations existing be
tween the United States and those pow
ers (any European power) to declare
that we should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety. With the exist
ing colonies or dependencies of any Eu
ropean power we have not interfered and
shall not interfere. But with the gov
ernments who have declared their inde
pendence and maintained it. and whose
independence we have on great consid
eration and on just, principles acknowl
edged, we could not view any interpo
sition for the purpose of oppressing
them or controlling in any other manner
their destiny by any European power in
any other light than as the manifesta
tion of an unfriendly disposition toward
the United States.”
In the preservation of this doctrine, in
view of the acute situation in Venezuela,
we may be confronted with the most
difficult and delicate duty in thq history
of the Republic. This country, of course,
cannot take part in the contention about
debts between England and Germany on
the one hand and Venezuela on the
other. If the two great powers have no
ulterior purpose, desiring only to collect
what they believe is due them, this coun
try has no right or inclination to interfere.
The Monroe doctrine is neither a collect
ing agency nor an agency to absolve South
American countries from paying their
honest debts. There are some attendant
circumstances which seem to bear out the
contention of President Castro that “the
hasty and violent action taken without
awaiting a reply or vouchsafing time for
the framing of a resolution,” shows that
the collection of the debt alone does not
“warrant the summary action taken.”
If there is room for suspicion that tip*
claims afford a desired excuse to seize
the customs houses and gain a foothold
in Venezula, the occasion may arise
when this country must take steps to en
force the Monroe doctrine. The profes
sions of England and Germany will need
to be taken with many grains of allow
ance. Neither country has ever admitted
the right of America to enforce the Mon
roe doctrine. Both would like colonies
in South America, both would like to see
the Monroe doctrine abrogated, and it
may be that in the present instance they
desire to see how far this country will
go to enforce the doctrine. If they can
seize the customs houses in Venezuela
to enforce an unascertained claim, and
this country acquiesces, may they not
hold the purse-strings of that country for
years? If for years, when shall the time
arrive, under the Monroe doctrine, that
we may' demand their retirement? It
should be remembered that clreat Britain
enterod Egypt to collect a debt. It de
clared its purpose to be to enforce its
claims. Afterwards it remained to pre
serve order. It has never retired. It
will never retire. Egypt is in nearly
every respect a crown colony by pre
scription. If that happened irf South
Africa, almost in sight of France, Spain,
Italy, Austria, Portugal, Turkey and
Russia—if England could grab Egypt by
the indirect debt-collecting process, why
may not Germany and England do the
same thing in Venezuela? This pre
cedent in Egypt ought to cause this
government to see to it that the Monroe
doctrine is not set at naught by the in
direct method of debt-collecting.
It will be remembered that once before
in recent years Great Britain had trouble
with Venezuela. It was widely believed
then that a design, was entertained of
making it a colony if it did not involve
war with the United States. The able
letter of Richard Olney, bristling at
every point with vigorous Americanism,
showed England that the last man and
the last dollar of the United States are
behind the Monroe doctrine. It will not
rush to the defense of Venezula in any
difference arising out of contracts with
other nations, but if they use a debt as
the pretext for continued occupation,
then this government would regard that
as an unfriendly' act.
There is not room to doubt that Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Hay will
act with dieretion and vigor if necessary
to preserve the Monroe doctrine. It is
generally believed that there has been
an understanding between representa
tives of the United States with Great
Britain and Germany that they will do
nothing to impair the Monroe doctrine.
If there is such an understanding, it
should be remembered that even the best
of countries go further than they expect
if the results of war promise to give them
immunity in so doing. This country de
clared that it did not go to war to grab
territory, and yet it did like other na
tons; grabbed land for the purpose of
IRE NEWS AND OBSERVER, WEDNESDAY MORNING. DEC. 17, 1902!
owning colonies. England and Great
Britain, would do the same thing in
Venezuela if they dare. Mr. Olney not
long ago predicted what the present
action may foreshadow when, in a public
speech, he said that Germany and the
United States were joining in a sort of
handshake as a courteous but significant
preliminary to the combat before them.”
Even the clear-sighted Olney apparently
did not look to see Great Britain as an
ally of Germany.
The European powers, while never ac
knowledging the right of the United
States to exercise the power of domi
nating this hemisphere, have not been
disposed to resist it. During the years
of the comparative weakness of the
American navy they did not choose to
put us to the test of defending the doc
trine, partly because they were busy
colonizing those countries that couM not
help themselves without invoking the
help themselves, without invoking the
hostility of this country by seizing South
African territory.
The strength of the Monroe doctrine
has been largely due to the fact that,
in declaring that no European country’
should “extend their system to any’ por
tion of this hemisphere,” w, have not
entered into any scramble with other
nations for the African or Oriental pos
sessions, but have confined our operations
to this hemisphere. As long as we did not
grab colonies in other parts of the world,
we had a logical strength in maintaining
the Monroe doctrine which all the world
recognized in the forum of right if it did
not in terms acquiesce in it. But the
Philippine policy of this country has
greatly weakened our moral right to
dictate the political and territorial poli
cies of North and South America. One
of the reasons that impelled this paper
to antagonize the administration in buy
ing the Philippine istands was because
it weakened our position on the Mon
roe doctrine and our unrivalled position
everywhere as the arbiter of the des
tinies of all America from Cape Horn
to the North Pole. This generation may
not fully realize how the new colonial
policy has endangered the Monroe doc
trine, or our ability to maintain it, but
in the case of a serious conflict with any
European power, then the weakness
would appear. If the present trouble in
Venezuela has been precipitated with
any hope of getting territory, this gen
eration will have cause to regret that the
Monroe doctrine was put in jeopardy by
the unwise policy of buying “shooting
privileges in the Philippines.”
THE SECRET OF HIB SUCCESS.
That was a remarkable service in Win
ston on Sunday, participated in by the
pastors of all the churches and Confed
erate veterans, the occasion being the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the pastorate
of Rev. H. A. Brown, D. D., pastor of
the First Baptist church. One of the
notable addresses was by Hon. Cyru3 B.
Watson, who spoke of Dr. Brown's ser
vice to the Confederacy. Mr. Watson
said “Dr. Brown has realized that this
great race Is one great brotherhood” —
a fact that largely accounts for his
marked success. In the course of his
modest and admirable address, Dr. Brown
is thus quoted on one point by the Sen
tinel:
“Dr. Brown said there had never been
a pastor of any denomination here that
be did not love, and for whom he did
not pray and co-operate with. We have
no little Jealousies—all working for the
glory of God.”
The secret of Dr. Brown's success is
told in these two sentences —Mr. Watson’s
statement that he believed in the broth
erhood of man and Dr. Brown’s state
ment of his abounding love for his breth
ren of every faith and order. His breadth,
his charity, his Christian fellowship have
been a blessing to his town, to his
church, and to his State. It is a lesson
for every young minister of every church
—to be true to his own church upon broad
lines, to co-operate with good men of
every church and of no church in every
good work, and to win men by living the
gospel of broad charity and the faithful
preaching of Love as the mud-sill of the
Christian religion.
Every good man in North Carolina is
blessed by the life and long service of
Dr. Brown and every one will hope that
he will be long spared to illustrate in his
life the religion he preaches.
After the next Republican National
Convention, the Southern delegate will
be like the poor boy at a frolic. Senator
Fritchard, who, for years protested
against the injustice to the South, has
now joined hands with Quay and the rest
to reduce the standing in /the South in
the councils of his party. “I am glad
you have taken that position at last.”
The words “at last” are good.
That's good news coming from Greens
boro that the Proximity Manufacturing
Company has cut down the working hours
in their cotton mills from 66 to 60
hours per week, without any decrease of
wages. The Record says this is equiva
lent to a ten per cent increase of wages.
Good for Mr. Cone, president of these
mills!
The coal trust is no respecter of per
sons. The furnaces of the Interior De
partment at Washington had to be shut
down for awhile because of lack of coal.
The Greenville Reflector thinks Greens
boro must be getting jealous of the fre
quent mention of Wilson in the date
line of the press dispatches.

THE VICK-PRITCHARD CONTEST.
Washington Star.
Wilson is a small town in North Caro
lina, and the postmastership is of course
in keeping with the size of the com
munity. But a contest has arisen over
the office which has attracted wide at
tention, and the President’s decision in
the premises is awaited with much in
terest far beyond the locality immediately
concerned.
The incumbent's name is Vick, and he
is a man of color. He has discharged the
duties of the office satisfactorily, both
to his official superiors and to the peo
ple of Wilson. The records of the Post
office Department and the testimony of
the vicinage are in his favor. Naturally
he wants a second term and bases his
application on his demonstrated capacity
to serve in the place and on his char
acter as a man.
Senator Pritchard opposes re-appoint
ment, and gives as his reason the atti
tude of Mr. Vick in the recent North
Carolina campaign. The charge is that
Mr. Vick did not support the Republican
ticket. Mr. Pritchard, it will be re
membered, was a candidate for re
election to the Senate, and made loy
alty to his ambition the test of Republi
canism. But as he had openly repudiated
the colored people in the Republican
State convention, a great many of them
afterward repudiated him either by re
maining away from the polls or opposing
him there, and he was overwhelmingly
defeated. Mr. Vick’s offense, therefore,
if he committed one, was that he refused
to lick the hand that had scourged him.
There are people of that disposition,
both white and black.
The attitude of the people of Wilson
is creditable to them. Those who are
Democrats cannot but enjoy the compli
cations, but they are not improving the
occasion to add anything to the difficulty.
They prefer a white man for the place,
and frankly say so. Such an appointment
would please them on personal grounds,
and, besides, they have an idea that their
party in other States would benefit from
it. The story would go out that the
President had thrown a sop to the “Lily
Whites.” But no attack is made on Mr.
Vick. They certify to his good character
as a man and to his business-like ad
ministration of his office, and object only
to IPs color.
Here, it may be seen, is a case which
upon its face seems to put the President
to the test on. a recent deliverance of his.
He said in his letter to a South Caro
linian on the subject of appointments to
office that no discrimination would be
made against a man solely because of
his color. Mr. Pritchard's charge is
really an arraignment of human nature.
Outside of that nothing remains against
Mr. Vick but his color. Mr. McKinley
appointed him. Should Mr. Roosevelt in
the circumstances re-appoint him?
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT THAT WILL
CARRY A BLESSING EVERY DAY.
Greensboro Telegram.
The operatives of the mills of the
Messrs. Cone will have a nice Christ
mas gift in the form of a reduction in
hours which will mean an increase of
ten per cent in wages. Indeed, from the
limited observation which we have had,
it has always seemed to us that the re
lations between the employer and em
ployed in the Greensboro cotton manufac
turing business have been unusually
pleasant. The operatives are loyal and
the manufacturers are liberal. Th f s is
as it should be and we venture to hope
that it may always be so.
WANTS TOTAL STATE PROHIBITION.
Greenville Reflector.
If the coming session of the Legisla
ture of North Carolina would pass a law
prohibiting the liquor traffic in every
form in this State and then adjourn, it
would go down in history as the greatest
and wisest law-making body that ever
sat in the Halls of Legislation of North
Carolina.
Politics and Politicians.
In Joseph Ernest Erwin the people of
Burke county will have a capable and
conscientious representative in the next
Legislature. To the end that he may
legislate to the very best interests of
his people, Mr. Erwin his given notice
that he will ask for conference at his
home, sometime between Christmas and
New Year's, with representative men
from every section of his county.
Through the local papers he has given
notice that a full representation and ex
pression from the people of the county is
desired at this meeting, so that he will
know their desires when he goes to
Raleigh. This is the action of a man who
wishes to know the right that he may
do it. It is an example worthy of gen
eral imitation by legislators-elect.—

The Virginian-Pilot says Captain J. W.
Simmons, inspector of hulls for this dis

No reason has been stated as to the
cause. Capt. Simmons was greatly sur

removal. His successor has not been
named by Mr. Oast as yet. Captain
Simmons is well known in this city, and
was for years the commander of the

Among the Railroads.
Writing of Capt. Mortimer Fleming,
who died in Baltimore after an operation,
Mr. John Wilbur Jenkins says:
“He was for a number of years in
charge of the Louisburg branch of the
Seaboard Air Line, and was the personal
friend of nearly all the persons who
travel over the road. Captain Fleming
was one of these old time conductors
that are fast passing away to the great
regret of all the men they joked with
and the women and children they helped
by their kindly courtesy. They were
personages in the olden days, and not
mere collectors of tickets—men who
were known and liked by every person
who lived in the stations along the line
of traveled by the railroad.” Every
word true. He was one of the best of
good men —the sort of men that men ad
mired and who was loved by women and
children.
The News and Observer has received
a letter from Major F. K. Huger, super
intendent second division of the Sea
board Air Line, in which he says:
“You will see from the attached that
with your kind assistance something has
already been accomplished.”
This refers to the publication of the
matter concerning men and boys climb
ing on trains, and the remarks made con
cerning it. The enclosed letter is from
Mr. A. T. Yarborough, the agent at Os
good, who writes Major Huger as fol
low's:
“My Dear Sir: I exhibited your kind
letter to our church yesterday and all
joined in sending you thanks for the kind
expressions and also for The contribution.
Our church treasurer is myself.
“Now as to keeping boys off the trains.
All have agreed to act as a court aud
you need not fear another epidemic of
car riding by the Osgood boys. I am a
Justice of the Peace and have now gotten
two citizens to act as police, they agree
ing to arrest every offender and bring
him before me for punishment.
“We have not had one to board a train
now in eight days. Again, I thank you.”

A Notable Legal Victory.
(Washington Messenger.)
Mr. E. S. Simmons, who appeared in
the case of B. J. Smith vs. Joseph A.
Paul, that was given to the jury Thurs
day night aud who did not render their
verdict until Friday afternoon, won one
of the most remarkable victories that has
occurred in Beaufort county since the
late F. B. Satterthwaite appeared at our
bar- Though he had two of the ablest
attorneys opposed to him, and the judge
charged the jury directly against the
contetions of Mr. Simmons after he had
contentions of Mr. Simmons after he had
diet in his favor. It was a great victory
for Mr. Simmons, even if His Honor did
direct the jury to retire again and bring
in another verdict.
