No doubt the greater per cent of the
girl babies of the future will be named
"Alice."
The Blackburn trouble seems to be'
somewhat like hot taffy "The longer the brotherho0(j of mankindsounds
you chew it the bigger it gets." preUy doeg,nt u?
If you can't" use a pair of wooden . But by way of parenthesis we would
skates' with proficiency these days : state that few people in North Caro
you are counted a back number: ' Ima are ready to set sail in the bark
? of Socialism, where individuality is
It must be a source of great jollifica-' an unknown quantity; where the es
tion to father Rockefeller to think how tabiished American social relations
he has them fooled as to his where-;
abouts.
Blackburn may be innocent of the
allegations pending against him, but ...
we should not care to be in his shoes '
just at the present. .
"This is so sudden" has lost its
weight. The Federal grand jury on
yesterday returned another true bill
against "the drummer boy."
The News correspondent from Ashe
ville tells of the conviction and senten
ce of Louis Charles Pauline de Recar
do, alias Ernest Orvia. Ye gods! Is
anyone surprised at the decision of
the jury?
In speaking of the finale 4 of the
"White House wedding the Daily Econo
mist says, "The great agony is over."
The great agony! And what would
Teddy 'say to that?
Since the death of John A. McCall,
his "Friday," Andy Hamilton, will
probably now return from "gay Paree"
and declare that he was only doing
with all that money as his dead mas
ter bade.
The anniversary of the birth of
George Washington was appropriately
celebrated at the University on the
22nd. Several excellent addresses were
delivered. We give, in another part of
the paper today, a good account of
the entire celebration.
Occasionally we hear of some ne
gro or friendless white man getting a
penitentiary sentence for stealing
"some trivial article or other. One is
almost' led to grow sceptic of Justice
when they sea this and then hear of
men like McCurdy who can steal '
thousands of, .the, people's money ;,and
go scot free.
Oh, the innate suspense, the mortal
terror, the thousand pangs that rack
ing nerves must meekly bear at the
sight, of some fearless youngster zig
zagging to-wards you on a pair of
skates! There is no surcease, and one
can only "grin and bear it." If you get
run over just quietly get up and apolo
gize to the youngster, or the skates
either one. It makes little difference
as far as appreciation goes. .' ,
. The Louisville Courier Journal says
that Queen Margaret of Italy is think
ing of coming over to the United
States for the purpose of making a
tour of our country in an automobile,
and the editor fervently adds, "God
save the Queen!" We should like to
submit that it might be more appro
priate to say, "God save those mortals
along her route!"
On yesterday the notorious wife
murderer, Johann Hoch, was executed.
For sometime it appeared that Hoch
would either be acquitted, or that his
sentence would be changed to life
imprisonment, but not so. The Gover
nor remained steadfast and refused
to interfere. Even while the death
march was in progress Hoch's attor
neys were vainly attempting to get an
extension of time. Justice triumphed,
however,and the state of Illinois has
given the lesson out that a murderer
in that state cannot always go free,
even though he has influential friends
and able attorneys. , ,
A lot of the people who are raving
and pulling their hair over the fact
that William. J. Bryan chose to with
draw his connection from a college
that accepted what he considered taint
ed money, would have : been equally
ready to rip and snort if he had re
mained . with the ". institution. They
would; have then I accused him, ; no
doubt, of being untrue in his fight
against the corrupt money powers.
One "beauty, c about it, however, the
feeble denunciations of Mr. Bryan only
fan the flame, and Mr. Bryan contin
ues to grow in popularity each day
among i.he : thinking, conservative men
of America. v
A SOCIALIST HIT.
; WW print today in another part of
the paper a letter from Mr. Risden S.
Asbury, of this city, protesting against
an editorial we wrote sometime ago
yarning against any tendency what
ever towards socialism, , . .
It is not the custom of The News to
pay any attention whatever to letters
signed, "Yours for Socialism" or in
! fact any other kind of "isms" save
Americanism, but we hope later on,
when time and space allows, to give
some attention to Mr. Asbury's letter.
We regret that the "bare statement
of our conclusion," and by the way the
conclusion long ago reached (for So
cialism is no new creed) by the great
majority of the American people, fails
to set well with the "logical mind" of
the brother; and that he desires some
facts and figures in the case before he
can get over the" idea that Socialism
is the onlv doctrine that will ever
a.nnt ..Q ' 0kir h nf
are uprooted and where men and wo
men live in blissful keraoot, everybody
minding everybody else's business. In
i fact our good orthodox people care lit
tle about a disquisition upon the doc
trine,for they, are satisfied with the
government founded by their fathers.
GROSVENOR DETHRONED.
The fate of the politician is as
treacherous as the sea. There is never
much assurance of anything. Political
popularity, like riches, has wings, and
you can never know when the huzzas
and plaudits will give place to criti
cism and ostracism. .
One thing that brings to our mind
more clearly than ever before the in
stability of popularity is the report
of the ignominious defeat of Congress
man Grosvenor of the eleventh district
of Ohio. He has been a member of
congress since the forty ninth with the
exception of the fifty second congress.
For twenty years he has represented
his district in the halls of congress.
Consequently knowing his past popu
larity it is with a feeling somewhat tin
ged with regret and sorrow, that we
heard the other day of his absolute
defeat. The old man was unable to
carry even his own county.
For years Mr. Grosvenor has been
one of the guiding spirits in the nat
ional congress, and this sudden re
versal of political fortune must surely
go hard with the old man.
As we stated in the beginning, it
is . impossible to know when the
wheels of the political band wagon,
that have borne a man for a time,
will turn "suddenly .and grind him be
neath them in the dust.
This is, however, one of the most
unexpected, reversals wo have heard
of in sometime, lest it be in the case of
the veteran Joe Blackburn of Ken
tucky. We cannot but feel sorry for both
Blackburn and Grosvenor, to be de
throned and forgotten in the fall time
of their public careers. It all teaches
the uncertainty of political prosperity:
, Rafting On The Wisconsin. '"'1'
At the mi.'ls they made up the big
rafts according to a certain system.
A crib. was made of boards, say six
teen feet long, and was built in layers,
cob-hOuse fashion, until -.' it was per
haps a couple of feet deep,- all fasten
ed by . long hard:wood pegs. Seven - of
these cribs made a "piece"; and three
pieces, side by side, lashed together
by . lines fastened to the boats, made
what was called a "Wisconsin river
raft." That was about as large as a
raft could be and run safely the va
rious dams and bars and rapids. After
they got to the mouth of the Wiscon
sin the men would shift these pieces
and bunch up a number of Wisconsin
river rafts into one vast, slow-moving
snake of sawn timbersa thing of ter
ror to all the steamboats on the river
until at last it found its destination,
perhaps tying up at some bayou far
down toward St Louis. Once such a
raft piled up on the middle pier of the
Dubuque bridge, and ran. up the abut
ment to the bridge floor, frightening
half to death some three hundred gap
ing folk who had come out to see the
wild men go through. But that was
merely an incident. It was merely an
incident if at night the men, .asleep
and forgetful of the green lights which
ought to show that they wererunning,
awoke under a volley of profaniity and
saw looming before them the bow of
some river steamer, whose iaptain
and pilot objurgated them by all the
saints of the river to have a better
care for . the observance of the : law.
Emerson Hough in "On the Little
Bull Rapids," in The Outing Magazine
for March. .
New Religious Sect.
. The Charlotte News say s "It is
stated "that there is a new religion
among the negroes of Atlanta. The
new sect have as one of their funda
mental principles that all female com
municants must hug and kiss the
preacher and the elders of the church.
The police of Atlanta are to investigate
this new brand of religious kissers and
huggers. The "trouble about it would
appear to us to be that there "would
be danger of superfluity of preachers."
