To the Editor of The Observer; la his letter in The Observer of yesterday giving the Washington as pects of possible contests for Con gress in this State, Mr. H. E. C. Bryant used these words; A - poor man cannot run for Congress these days. He cannot af ford to put Up the necessary money.' ' Every well-informed man in the Seventh district knows that that idea has been current in the dis trict for some time. It may have been cultivated cr it may net have been. It is the most dangerous and paralyzing allegation that can be made aginst the Democratic party that none but well-to-do men who can afford to spend money may seek honor and sen-ice at its hands. It makes no difference whether the statement rests upon so-called nec essary expenses provided by the organization or upon extra neces sary expenditures lately introduced into our politics and against which the demand for a corrupt practice act is a protest the effect is the same, the man who has fidelity to party principles, to correct public service, desire to express in pub lie office the concrete effect of the lifelong study of questions affect ing the common weal If he has not money to spend he need not apply. I say that this is the most seri ous thing that confronts the Demo cratic party in North Carolina, and for one I propcee to put the issue to the test. I shall net offer the fact of being a poor man as a mer it, but I shall offer myself as a can didate for the Democratic nomina tion for Congress! n the Seventh dis trict in 'spite of the dictum that none such may apply. I shall send to the papers of the district a statement to the voters embodying fully the ideas that I stand for on public questions and request its pub lication. I shall make Some public speeches sufficient to inform the people as to the grounds upon which I seek their suffrage, and leave it with the .voters who believe aa I do to say whether or not they will stand with me. And I invite any other candidate for. the nomina tion, to join me in such public ap pearance. It is of no great cones quence whether I am nominated, or pearance. It is of no great conse quence to know whether or not poor wan" need apply. .1 pick up that ' earuatlet and ..shall ppaeal to the people to pass Judgment if the other things for which I stand suits tnetn. , , R.

I have often read of allthe ancient build ings and strange historical thines but never thought that I would hava the pleasure of seeing them. We went to see the iPone while there The stairs in the building where 1 r.e pope stays were lined with solid gold and they keep guards every five feet apart. I guess that is to keep any one from carrying away any of the 'steps.' Well, we wore to see the Pope at 10 o'clock on Monday morning, so we were on time. We walked in and started to walk up the steps just like I would at home, when one of the guards made us understand that we were to walk i:p cn our knees. This seerd to be quite a joke- in fact I ti. flight the guard was trying to play a joke on us, so I decided that I would not let him joke Hal. 1 be gan walking up the stairs in the good old North Carolina fashion, somewhat surprised that the other fellows did not do likewise, but the guard soon gave me to understand that if I didn't go up those stairs on my knees that I would go out the door on my head. I decided in favor of the former. The Pope gave us an excellent talk and praised the American sailors most highly. "On our way over to Europe we stoDned in North Africa and also in Snain.
