audience at the Y. M. C. A. a year ago

considerable attention because Presi-

the Imperial University of Japan, situ-

hooks on the Eastern question - have

the East Trade street incline at a
rapid rate of speed. As he neared Col
lege street a small negro boy, also
riding a wheel, came directly in his
path and before either could change
'tnemrectron of" their wheels they col

against a wagon, receiving, what physi-. young people on last Monday night

IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Ann Emerson Worsham, wife
of Mr. Thomas S. Worsham, died Feb
ruary 14, 1905, at 1 o'clock A. M. She
was stricken with paralysis about 4.30
Monday evening and about midnight
lost consciousness and motion entirely,
continuing in that condition until she
died She was born October 25, 1849,
and was among the last of the im
mediate descendants of two prominent
families of this section, the Sloans and
Emersons.
When a young woman she united
with the A. R. P. Church at Coddle.
Creek, under the pastorate of Rev. J.
E. Pressly. Her connection with this
church continued until the Presby-
erian organization at Shearer's Chap
el, when she was dismissed to go with
her husband into that church.
Having spent the last years of her
life near Coddle Creek, she was a reg-
lar attendant and took an active part
in Sabbath school work, bein-z for
some time a teacher in one of the
classes. Mrs. Worsham was devoted
to the church and to her family and
will be sadly missed in both these re
lations, as also by the community in
which she lived. She left a husband,
a son, a daughter, one brother in
Texas, and other relatives here and
elsewhere to mourn their loss. .
"Write, blenscd are the dead which
dir. in the Lord from henceforth; yea
srJih the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labors; and their works do
follow them."

ECHOES OF THE NEWS.
Roosevelt A Schemer.
Much has been writttn of late about
President Roosevelt's "about face" on
party measures; his partizenship has
greatly weakened they say" his ar
dor for the old "Radikil" party cooled
down," they tell me. It Is said that
he has discarded much of the spirit
of sectionalism, etc., and just because
he has been honest enough to agree
with the Democrats upon a few very
important measures needed in the
way of relief for the people, he has
been accredited with being liberal
minded and a great diplomat, etc. Mr.
Roosevelt, while he has some admir-!
able traits, is an intense partisan,
and with all his seeming Democratic
leanings, he is "holding to the hare
and running with the hound." a sort
of "a dog in the manger," so to speak.
The word diplomat describes his doc
trine to a T, for he is one in the ex
treme, and in pursuing the doctrine
of diplomacy he goes to extremes and
shows himself in this to be a "riad
ikil died in the wool," and a great
schemer. The case of the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona to a state
hood furnishes proof positive of this
fact. If the statement made by the
Democratic press be true, and we
doubt it not, he and his backers in
Congress are trying to work a ruse
to strengthen the "Radikil" party by
yoking New Mexico and Arizona to
gether. This shows Mr. Roosevelt to
be a schemer.
The Charlotte Times-Democrat ex
plains this trick very nicely as fol
lows :'
"New Mexico and Arizona are in im
minent danger of being forcibly yoked
together into joint statehood. Mr.
Roosevelt is bending every nerve to
consumate the incongruous union.
The Republican contingency in the
Senate is of the same mind, for they
see clearly the power and strength in
the entree of two Democratic sover
eignties into the imbroglio of national
politics. Seeing as as they do the
strength (hat would thereby be supple
mented to the Democratic representa
tion in Congress, they are strenuously
attempting to form a union between
the two territories, regardless cf their
say-so in the matter.
But a glance at the two territories
in question, New Mexico and Arizona
were promised statehood when they
were admitted as territories. It is noth
ing hut just and right .to them that
they should be admitted into the union
as separate States. While they are
not made up of the same class of
people and not of the same advance
ment and ability, still they are both
thoroughly capable of admission, as
separate States But the question ari
ses are they willing to the marriage?
There is but one answer, they are not.
They are not congenial. They are
made up of a different class of people.
Tliey have different interests and as a
whole, the union would be distasteful
to Arizona especially, since she is
of a much higher standard of citizen
ship and advancement than is New
Mexico.
Realizing this the Republican con
tingency in the Senate, willing to re
sort. to any subterfuge to carry their
point, have decided to advocate a de
cision by a popular vote the two
territories concerned.
Under this seemingly willingness to
grant fair play is couched the scheme
to secure the union. They well know
that New Mexico has a far greater
population than Arizona and they
know also that it is Arizona that is
really adverse to the union and would
vote unanimously against it. If left
to be decided in this manner the vote
in New Mexico will, no doubt, greatly
outnumber that of the other territory
and the union will be consumated,
regardless of the protests of Arizona."

Banks Versus Saloor.s In North
Dakota. ,
I traveled a thousand miles up and
down these Great Northern extensions,
visiting thirty-one towns in their swad
dling clothes, and found every one of
them' ablaze with confidence that it
was certain to surpass in population
and prosperity all of its sister infants.
In their main essentials they were be
wilderingly alike. There was the main
business street laid out like a boule
vard for width, vastly' expensive to
pave whenever that step in develop
ment should be reached. There had
not been time to build "residence sec
tions" in most of them. The workers
lived in the hotel or over their their
stores, and the few dwellings clung
close to the clustered beginnings of
the town as if reluctant to scatter over
the bare and wind-swept prairie. There
were xio saloons for North Dakota
is under the sway of a prohibition
lav. Whereas the saloon is the pioneer
enterprise in the mining camp, the
bank took the lead in this wholesome
kind of ' creation. There were towns
with a dozen stares, four hundred
people and three banks. In fact, the
nucleus of such a town is a group of
elevators, the "general store," and the
bank. There was one town. Munich.
whose history ran back some twelve
months, in which three of the four
corners of one block on the main
street were occupied by banks. It is
an upside djown condition of pioneer
settlement when banks are so ama-
f zingly numerous and saloons so con-
spiciously missing. Ralph D. Paine in

A Card From Mr. Asbury.
To the Editor of The News.
Referring to a recent editorial in
which you say any tendency towards
socialism is dangerous and anarchistic,
I would respectfully ask you to give
your reasons for this superficial asser
tion. The bare statement of a con
clusion makes no appeal to a logical
mind; the steps by which it is reached
must be shown. False or pernicious
doctrines should never be allowed to
pass uncensured; and if it can be
demonstrated that the doctrines of
Socialism are such, the sooner they are
revealed in their true light the better.
If, on the other hand, it can be demon
strated that Socialism will make for
liberty, justipe and equality of oppor
tunity in economic and political life;
that the age-long dream of brother
hood can become a reality only under
Socialism, then the dissemination of
its teachings is a public duty.
Possibly your opposition to Social
ism is due to lack of information on
the subject. Will you kindly give a
lucid exposition of what you believe to
be the cardinal principles of Socialism
and follow it with constructive criti
cism. Yours for Socialism,
RISDEN S. ASBURY.
