In the perspective of the ycirr, Ioosevclt la seen as a man of peace, despite his readiness to fght for bt corlci:one.' He rendered great service to the cauo of International peace, and his countrymen must rcilize today that, the world tclnj what It is, ho never wrought hotter for the peace and safety of tho country than when aa Assistant Hccrct.iry of the Navy he labored for Hie strengthening of American I sea povi er. ' The I'nlted States has nccn'ly taken tho leaucre hip in a movement for reduction of naval armament, and there is nothing In that objective inconsistent with tho determination of cloar-vinioncd Americans not to let the pas bion for peace make them blind to tho necessi ties of th,: world's condition today. Uoosevelt would ha've supported disarmament by agrce- r.unl; he would have opposed what tho Navy League calls disarmament by example. Tho possible dangor now is that the pcoplo and Congress will takeTTltcrally tho proposals for reducing tho Navy's strength and at tho same time neglect the cause of perfecting those in ternational peaco agencies which must replace armaments. America can best promote peace' on oarth by maintaining lis ability to take Its own part, as r.oosevelt would have expressed it.( This nation does not need a great army or a hug0 navy; but. until the country gives its allegiance to a league of all nations, it niuiu bo prepared to enforce its will upon those who aro still willing to defy civilization's principles of ju- tlce and honor. VOICO Ut Ihe reoplfcjl , i THAT BAD BORAH BOY IS UP TO HIS HALLO,WE'EN PRANKS AGAIN. Tim rUBLIC AND FOREST DESTRUCTION. Editor of The Cltisen: A party took the beautiful trip to the top of Mitchell last Sunday. I was along. It was my third trip and I enjoyed l morev than the nrst one; li is that wiy villi in mountains. Juat bifor; starting d-nvu I read a notice which waa posted by the Stat or Federal Government, it Is immaterial which. This notice eautlonud joplo and requested them not to destroy timber and the final centence read like tills. The rest of It (meaning Uio timber) w-aa destroyed by flro utid the' lum erman. That last teemed' rather unfair and especially out of pHco on Mitchell. I could not help thinking that tha motor road which made it po slblo for thitiantls of people to travel comfortably to the top of Mitchell was built by lumber men first as a loosing railroad over which the millions of feet of log wont out to ho tawed Into lumber to build homes." Was It destroyed? The flro destroyed but did the lum berman destroy In turning this timber Into lumber ljr homvs or Mero they not doing a service? I have beet? a lumberman for. it years and always nave regretted the necessity of cutting line timber. Wonder if ull tho folk would be willing to get along without lumber and If not and they .-uk the lum berman o servo them la it the lumberman destroying the limber or all of us, or la It destroyed at all?

About the only tourists who don't, coma Saei here the seond time are those who stay ad, iter the fitwt time." I A t-burch in the city or Netr-TorU wfe ar informed by press dispatches, has established a "matrimonial parlor." The "parlor" la the gathering place of the National Lonesome Club, formed to meet the profound problem In the formula "that tor every boy that's lonesome. there's a girl that's lonesome,' too." So far, three meetings have been held, the "seeds of romance sown," and "several couples, who first became acquainted at the, club's opening are now 'going together' and being watched with great interest." Several years ago there ad heard In many quarters a gi-eat hue and cry to the effect that tho church was backward, that It did not ap peal to the imagination, of the masses suffi ciently. From such propaganda, camo things like this "matrimonial ; parlor." alarmingly cos.ly concessions to "the imagination of tho r.iasaos." These undignltled and at times ridi culous experiments by churches are too costly. They amount to assaults upon religious faith, because they utterly destroy the individual's confidence in the high Idealism and lofty con-1 secretion of the church and its ministers. Tho church can not be too careful. For bearance of press and public from outspoken criticism and condemnation :a not always evi dence that clergymen earn the people's -ap-prova'.. This patience under shock is ut tinier more harmful than belpl'ul to the prea-l-.e-n. of the gospel. A far more cenous oitense than tie levity Of the "matrimonial parlor" was the action of more than a score of New Jersey Episcopalian clergymen who, tho day Dr. Edward Wloc!. Ha.Il waa buried, held a fdrmal meeting for the express purpose of declaring their confi dence In tha work and character of the man. They did this when tho town of New Brunr wlck was humming with the scandal of ad sordid an ah'ilr a, has ever come Into tl;e columns of the nwpapera. Since then, with the publication of the dead clergyman's "love diary" and letters proving his guilt beyond ail j question, they have done nothing to withdraw1 their clerical olefins on t'-.e offender's croaer. If this had happened in pol;ta injtad of in the church, public condemnation of it as an unjustifiable "whitewashing" would have been long and loud. There lj sucb a thing as tbe public's being too kind for Its own good. : Tha American farmer will have UtUe eur- plus la his bank account aa long as Republican tariff-makers hinder the sale of bis surplus products abroad. ; i Tho organisation of high tariff clubs al ways means that the consumer Is going to be clubbed. ; ' 1 - Lloyd Cleorge is ondor.e, toi dooe.

Tn!t Is a day of widening activities for the church. In our complex society, the character of a "good parson" Is revealed not only in pointing from , the pulpit the way of eternal life, not alone by Godly example, but by direct ar.'d aggressive leadership in all movements which build up In a community a better environment for human culture and materia botte.-ment. Dr. McLarty has not only inspired Ills church, to larger achievement, but haa kcSt in touch with the civic agencies which supple meat the worluof the church. Ills sympathies are.?Qad and his zeal for good works is bal; lasted by.sturdy common sense. There will be widespread regret over his departure. j . .

"It Shows North Carolina'" was adopted as the slogan for the State Fair this year and those who at tend it are-agreed that It is a very fitting slogan. There are -more ex- nibiu than ever, more prizes to be given 'than any previous year and the whole tone and scope of the fair shows it to be on a higher plane than it has been heretofore. Tho riddance of gambling Joints on "midway" was commendable action on tho part of the fait- officials. We have enough Interesting industrial resources In the State to make a fair without tho continuance of these objectionable attractions (?). If the fair can't "go" without them, w-e do not deserve a fair. It is inspiring to consider that the real power behind the high standard and notablo success of the fair this year Is a woman, who because of her interest in the State of her adoption, is giving un reservedly pt her time and talents to the office of President of tho State Fair. If there were any who thought that Mrs. Vanderbllt would be a mere figurehead at the head of the organization which promotes the fair they cannot t)"t own that tney were mistaken.- through it li there are evidences of her fine personality, her womanliness and net- interests in the development" of tha resources of the state. (Raleigh Times.) Had you, too, been overlooking the fact that tho election this fail in North Carolina will bring with It a referendum on tbe hire of those who labor and belabor at the biennial business of .making, cur laws? We had about forgot it, but as usual somebody thought of It one day when his typewriter was Inclined to loaf on him and tho pa pers throughout the Stato are dis cussing the "proposal' to aniend the oonstitutlon so as to oay nvmbere of the legislature ten dollars a day, The newspapers, without excepj tlon so far as we have' read, favor the proposition. They think a good lawmaker worth then dollars a day and a poor one worth far less than nothing. A majority of tnom prob ably know, too, that teu dollar has become the diem of the members of all commissions inatabd by; le legislature. " ' ' - I If the result of the referendum ls.favorable to the Increase in pay, it will be due almost wholly, to the things written in its behalf in the press. Candidates fbr office ars go ing to talk about something else. Especially is this true of the candi dates for tho legislature. A man of capacity hates to publicly dis cuss the price paid htm for his services; a man without capacity doesn't dare. It ought to be a simple matter to roll up a tremendous majority for a living wage for tho lawmaker. People have tried ,to get somethl-ig for nothing often enough to roaliae that a man who comes to Raleigh for sixty days ought not to be ask ed to sacrifice the time and money lost by dropping his home Job and have to go in his own pocket for his bed and board at the same. TUP FAT.FRYINP. I of the sum it is expected to , J-" 1 1 ll'tVJ i to,, tno public treasury Is only J TARIFF t. By. Savoyard). 1- That grand old Ecamp of Special Privilege, a Protective Tariff, sails under the pirating flag and wears many disguises. When it r.rst ap peared In our ' glorious Union It made excuse for its existence and its Hie of a -century and a third has been one of .excuse and nothing but excuse. Its logic la that Amer ica Is inferior and must be pro tected against superiority that lurks at all quarters of the world's compass scheming for our' destruc tion. . The excuse for ' xhe ' Harhiliton tariff was that our industries were "Infants," and must bo "proiecp-rt" from the full grown Industries abroad. That served tori a score or more years, when it wae .suddenly discovered "that the sole mission or the tariff was to give tha farm er a "homo market." That was the stuff, the lying stuff, that foOled the farmer for a decade and until ha cot sense enough to lear.i that it mattered nough to him whether his surplus was sold at home or abroad. , And thus that excuse waa exhausted. . Old Tariff did not muster the impudence - in those days to even pretend- that he was not a hardship visited on all the neoDle: but he contended the hard ship was necessary for the common weal.

Men in the liquor business In Europe, who must of course have plenty of confidential sources of in formation about how ;,ohlbition is working in the Unite.. States, are evidently not told by their corre spondents here what the. bootleg ging interests give out through channels of publicity at home.- An Associated Press dispatch from Berlin reports a snecially called convention of German and Swiss brewers summoned to decide on immediate defensive measures to prevent prohibition from "sweeping Europe." If their private advices indicated tbat. prohibition was sub a hopeless experiment In America ! as wet newspapers and wet orators I here pretend to believe, thev sure- ly would have no dread of Europe i following so disastrous an e-mpie. i Similary if it is, as often alleged, 1 just as easy as ever to import ! liquor Into this country, tho wine producers of France are badly de ceived in the premises. For they have been holding at Paris a na tional consultation to consider how they are golns to recover the g-ound lost J.O their bualnos by "the collapse of the wine market in America." Meanwhile there are indeed plenty of reason in Europe itself for the tramcners jn intoxicants to be worried about the future. For one sign, Virgil Hinsiiaw reports that he found President Hainis.:h of the new rapublio of Austria an avowed root-and-brenca prohibitionist.- The President .wrote lor K visitor "mag to America" With the death of Theodore Roosevelt there passes from earth its greatest man. In every corner of the world ho was known, loved, and honored The -children - of every clime heard the magic name Teddy with Joy of heart and hope of soul, for he was tho nrophet of all that yearn for a bettor day. Eut now we behold him but dim ly. We stand too near the lofty peak to paint Its colors or measure its height. Wo can not grasp a globe of sucb illimitable, propor tions. The countless millions who loved him gazo after him with sad dened hearts like children bereft of a father. Now inscrutable that one so divinely potent fbr good should so suddenly lie down to remorse lesa death and pathetic dust; Vet for him It ia not the day's end but the morning's dawn, the beginning of s life nobler and fuller, tor as the unreturning snows of yester year hasten the coming harvest, so the patelng of a prophet marks the day of divine fulfillment. Of all the men of history he waa the most universal and many-sided. Masterful in the home, he gavft new meaning to father, mother and child; exalted to the highest pin nacle of human glory, he walked humbly with God; powerful in the forum, he spoke the plain words of the man of toil; mighty with the pen. na wrote or things or a work- After the "home r.iarket" hypo- crioy wore out and no. longer tool ed anybody, old Tariif' took 'on' an other disguise and proclaimed that his sole mission in political ocon omy as it applied to our glorious Union was to Increase the wage' of American labor. fhat was the stuff and the gullible swallowed it. Manufacturers flocked to Washing ton, and were Importunate In the demand that Congress employ tho taxing power to force them to pay higher wages to tho labor they employed, in "A Tale of A Tub Dean Swift ventures to say that the happiest state that one of us mortal can attain, the supreraost delight he can entoy, Is to be "a fool among knaves. ' l o gods, what oceans of ' felicity our glorious Union has been engulfed In for nearly .a, century, as is manifest when we contemplate the millions of Tools we have had who believed the knaves who preached that the tariff "protested'' labor! Instead labor paid the protection or a great Dig cnunK or it, for labor consum ed the article of merchandise pro tected. The tariff duty was levied on- the product of labor that was the property of a very few. There was iree traao in labor Itself and manuiact'frers imported free ot duty miUlons of foreign laborers to increase tne supply of labor and reduce the wage of labor. Well, the electorate persisted in me gran a error that protection was for labor and It was not tiU me last quarter of the last centurj that the public mind began to dis cover tho lying sUberfuge it was. Then it waa diaclosed to the genius of old tariff that his real mission In the realm of political economy ..in tve .no ai L.eiea protected cheaper to the consumer! This aosuraity was a preachment of the late William MoKlnley. who was first to fancy the miracle. At the time Mr. McKlnley was creating an industry known as as "tin plate" that cost all tho peoplo many mil lions of money and was owned by a handful of the people, less than two score in number.

S. 1 b waa in love with animal and plant forest and -stream. He climbed all heights, sounded all depths, and strove for all good. Tbe last measure of human cour age, he knew no fear of men or things. He apoke from an open soul, and left his words to soothe or kill as they would; he challenged men and nations with the daring of a. gladiator,' and proclaimed rigmeousnecs aa me law of life. With Washington's courage, Lin coln's goodness, and McKlnley e gentleness, - his Americanism rce to a height never equaled. He wor shipped dally at hla country's aurtne, and offered for Its altar the blood of himaelf and son. Ana now mting was the end! Aa life waa strenuous, to death was harried and merciful.
