The News and Observer contain? a half-column editorial on th
absurdity of the wrist watch. Still, you never can tell. Wo may
walk into the ?auctiun of the News and Observer in about a month
or two and tind ihc editor sporting a cunning little chronometer on
his daintv wrist.
"We arc unusually glad that wo are not a Texan," comments Ed
itor Bigg?? of the Greenville Reflector. The remark will probably
find heart v endorsement bv all Texan*.
Probably more than one citizen in this country of ours is wonder
ing today whether the armie* of Europe have declared a truce
account of its being l.al>or Da v.
WAITING FOR DKATll.
in the various papers, during the last few days, there have I ven
numerous account!? of execution* of criminals, that have taken place
in various States. Most of the accounts have gone into detail, d"
scribing how the condemned men conducted thcmsclev* during their
la?t hour oil this earth. None of them, however, can describe the
sensations or the thoughts of the unfortunate victims of justice,
Nouc of them can depict the agony or the mental torture that t lies ? j
men mint experience. In fact, who can tell u? the innermost!
thought* of the man who realizes that in a moment he will havo
left this world and entered into another i
Imugiiic how veu yourself would fee! if you were in the plac
uf the man who is about to In- executed. Imagine the prison scenes
?the hushed tones of the oth-r inmates and the wardens. Th
minister feebly attempts condolence, but his words are but u atronge.
reminder that the end is close at hand. Then comes the approach
of the death guard. You realize at once their mission, and you ris
from your U?nch and leave your cell without a wor?l. The guard
tails in In-hind you. You walk through the door of the death
ehamU r. A small gallery of spectators are present to witness your
execution. The chair, in which your life is to be snuffed out, is at
the end of the room. In a moment you are seated in the chair.
The lu ad. leg and arm straps are made fast. You realize that th
end has come. In a second, you will face your Maker.
What thoughts would flash through YOl'R mind during tho*'
last few seconds? What do yon imagine that the REAL man would
think of? No one can give the answer, but the .'train must be ter
rible un.J the anguish ami pain lieyond description.
A DECIDEDLY WRONG. VIEW.
It is seldom that wo are treated to a genuine, whole-hearted laugh,
but we were allowed to enjoy this pleasure Thursday evening when
we happened I-} can our eyes
from th? editorial column .ot

have d"ue thai; it isn't at all in Imping with his uiual digniW)
and oumplaccnt rnitn. It was positively naughty. However, let
us not stop here,- there are further phrases in the article' Teat merit
attention. ' ;
'"The hit one always hollows!" shouts Jake. That sounds 'like a
rather "hollow" statement. Further along, we eome to the wonf
"escupados." A careful search through the dictionary ftiledia
reveal to tu the presence of thia word. You didn't mean
trades," did ,vou, Jake? Toward! the end of the article we
the word "vampire." It winds m>- Jake's effervescence and
that lie is a student of Kipliilg flvwell a* 0f Pilgrim's PxfrM'S
Kcbinsou Crusoe.
Probably seme of our readers, who were not fortunate enough
to have read thin week's Progreas, are 'wondering by thia time what
wo are driving at. For their benefit, it may be wis? to explain p
little before proceeding further.
The editorial in tho Progress appears to have been written be
cause of the fact that this paper published news accounts and edi"
torial comment on an unfortunate incident xhat occurred in Waah
ini!ton a few weeks ago. The Progress appears to think that this
imitt(>r should have been kept out of the paper?; at least one it al
lowed to pain that impression from the following? jA
"The Progress is not in th<v habit of repdiOratoj
cases in the recorder's court, but if it were, and had
faile?l to report this ease, it would not feel that it j
had eoiutnited a crime, because we did not care to
wound the feelings of his relatives."
This declaration is in direct contradiction of the laws and cus
t. mis of every conscientious newspaper in this country today. The
Progress openly admits that it is willing to play favorites attd ready
'o make discriminations through its columns. It deliberately an
nounce* that it is not an organ of the PEOPLE, but in orgau of
I fish interests. . -? -J
Tin re was probably no one in Washington who felt as keen* sym
pathy for the relatives of the young man as the writer, bnt never
t holes*,. it was his duty to publish an account of the proceedings of
1 ho unfortunate alTair. and lie did so; trying to stick to the facts
i'.ii'l omit any unnecessary scandal or sensationalisms. The' policy
ii jt tin' Progress would pursue in these matters is decidedly the
wrong one, and that it is such, will l?e conceded bv every ? member
? t lie newspaper profession, who is conscientious in his work.
As m ion as a paper logins to discriminate, it loses whatever in^
tint nil* in the community thai it might have enjoyed before. People
demand the news;?not part of the news, but ALL the news.
We are sorry that the Progress has taken this stand in the matter.
As for the personal attacks which the Progress hurls forth,?
fhcre is little use in making mention of them here. The Progress
viden t Iv is desirous of starting a quarrel between the two local
iapers, but as we have neither tho time nor tho space to enter ilito
irirumcuts of that kind, we will leave the remarks of the Progress
'?ass without comment.
