TODAY'S ISSUE OF THE NEWS.
In the opinion of the editors, to
day's issue of The News is the best
ever turned out from this shop, and in
special features, live news and artistic
get-up is not equalled by any after
noon paper in this section. It is pleas
ant to hear, from many sources, comp
limentary expressions of opinion regarding-
the gradual improvement re
flected in The News. It is growing
rapidly, both in circulation, already
leading all afternoon papers of the
two Carolina?, and in the quality and
quantity, as well as the arrangement,
of its contents.
"We have not space here to review
the various features of today. Read
for yourself.
A new venture, and one which, by
the way, has met with wide praise, and
which has been copied, is the atten
tion given to sports, a page being
given in each Saturday's paper, and
liberal space each day in the week.
The News was the pioneer in this line,
and a glance at today's sporting page
will convince one that it still leads.
Right here we desire to promise the
sporting fraternity a full and fresh ser
vice through the summer, arrange
ments being now perfected to give, by
special wire service as well as local
effort, all the news of interest from
this section of a sporting nature. Spe
cial editions will be issued, which will
contain baseball results, as well as
other news that happens too lrte for
use in most afternoon papers.
Tli? afternoon paper has every
ehr.i'.e-."1 to lead, and none appreciates
this i'-ict more than The News. A
glance at morning papers is proof that
the afternoon paper tells that the news
has happened (which is all the reader
usually cares to now), while the morn
ing paper gives details a littleymore
fully in some cases.
We ask pardon for so lengthy a dis
course oh our progress, which has at
tracted much attention of late, and
close by offering the assurance that
we have no idea of letting this growth
stop. It is the ambition of the editors
and the managers of this paper to
make estch issue the best, and we sin
cerely believe this is being done.
more careful to do his or her duty
than to exact duty from the other par
ty; but each must, in justice to the
other partner no less than to himself
or herself, exact the performance of
duty by that other partner. Let each
of yon !o his ov her duty for each oth
er: but do not lose your self-respect
by submitting to wrong."
It is safe to say every mother pres
ent returned home itching to "be more
careful in doing his or her duty," thus
or so. now or then; and it is safe
further to say that in justice to himself
or herself or themselves, the exact per
formance of his of her duty will be
followed more earnestly at this or that
time in the future than the perfor
mance of this or that duty by himself
or herself or themselves has been per
formed in the past.
It is possible, too. that those moth-
-a
ers who are not mothers, but who are
delegates to the Mothers' Congress,
will, after this illuminating discourse
become more deeply absorbed in this
or that duty and will hereafter con
sider said duty in the light of a pos
sible situation where the aforesaid
duty would confront not herself alone,
but himself, or herself, or possibly
themselves.
The National Mothers' Congress con
sidered many matters of deep interest
at their meeting, and is. no doubt, do
ing a great lot of good; but just now
that sitech of .our president outshines
all other features.
Man of parts, we hail thee patron
saint, or is it honorary member, of the
Mothers' Club, we bow low in admira
tion! Whether it be to referee a jiu jitsu
contest; lead a forlorn hope in a
"you're a liar" bout; play end-man in
an East Room vaudeville; calm the,
pulsating spirits of frenzied financiers,
or tell a band of mothers how it's done,
our ineouore is mere.

MR.
BRYAN AND THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
ROOSEVELT AND MOTHERHOOD.
One of the most notable gatherings
of the week just closing was the In
ternational Mother's Congress, at
tended by delegates from most of the
states and numerous and sundry "for
eign countries." It was strictly a
mother's affair Fathers were left at
home to chop stove-wood, wash the
dishes and tell little Johnnie about the
"ideal home!"
As we have remarked before, this
was a mothers' m- :ting in the strict
est sense of the wc :'d, and, being such,
of course the presence of the president
of these "United States of America, and
the Philippines, was imperative. Never
failing, therefore, to be cn hand when
his presence was needed, and especial
ly whsre there was an opportunity to
appear before persons at ail connected
with the propagation of the race, Mr.
Rossevelt was there with the rest of
the mothers there "loaded for bear"
with advice, suggestions, counsel.
And why not? Have we a citizen
in all this broad land of ours who
knows more about motherhood? True,
we may not claim for our president the
distinction of having had any person
al experience in this line, but let it be
said to his everlasting credit that,
though barred this pleasure, in reality
he enjoys its every meaning in theory.
So eminently endowed, therefore, with
information on matters held in com
mon by mothers, it is not strange that
our president should have been called
upon for a few observations; .neither
is it strange that this man of such
ineffable versatility should have found
himself ablo to talk for an hour on
taotherhood.
We cannot spare space for the presi
dent's discourse to these assembled
mothers, hut y-ou must not miss this
much, at least:
"A marriage should be a partnership

or her rights, where each should be
Any effort to construe the ac
tion of the democratic executive
regarding the matter of endorsing the
candidate for the presidency and vice
presidency, as being hostile to Mr.
Bryan is not warranted by the facts.
The Xews does not believe that this
matter should have been presented to
the committee at all, and it believes
that this was the feeling that actuated
the majority of the committee in pass
ing a resolution, offered by a strong
supporter of Mr. Bryan, declaring it to
be the sense of the committee that it
had no power to endorse any candi
date, national or state. This resolu
tion received the support of a number
of Mr. Bryan's ardent friends and sup
porters. Notwithstanding this fact it
only received a bare majority of five
votes.
The original resolution endorsing
Mr. Bryan for president and ex-Governor
Aycock for vice president was in
troduced by Mr. Scales, of Greensboro.
Mr. Clarkson, of Mecklenburg, offered
as o. substitute a motion that the en
tire matter be referred to the next
state democratic convention. After
considerable discussion Mr. McMichael
of Rockingham, with Mr. Clarkson's
approval offered as a substitute for the
original motion a resolution to tho
effect that this committee has no
power to endorse any candidate, na
tional or state. This substitute was
adopted and it was understood by all
parties that it was not expressing the
sentiments of the committee as being
for or against Mr. Bryan, for, as stated
above, this substitute was introduced
by a strong Bryan man and voted for by
a number of those favorable to his
candidacy, but it was the conseusus of
opinion of the members of the com
mittee that they had no right to any
endorsement and that that was a mat
ter for the state convention.
In view of these facts it is hardly
fair for the Anti-Bryan people of the
committee, or off of tho committee, to
make any claims of an Anti-Bryan, vic
tory. This is a matter that the state
democratic convention will pass upon
when it meets.

A DREAM
The Awakening Reality Less Rosy.
"Radiant Reflections." by the noted
Henry Blount, is another feature to
be found in today's paper. Here is
one of Mr. Blount's reflections: "Re
ciprocal love is that God-strung harp
of life from which flows, in ecstatic
ripples, the sweetest strains of earth's
most thrilling raptures." There are
others, even more radiant.
The pessimistic News of Greensboro,
thinks "Those members of the demo
cratic state committee will rue their
decision of Wednesday night once they
get a look at our hippodrome." Sup
pose they die of old age before they
have that chance?
"A Chicago man," observes the se
date Georgian, "counted seventeen rob
ins in one yard." Drive out the water-wagon.
Says the Newbern Sun: "The violet
is the best of all the spring poets."
At least it makes the least noise.
The Winston Journal tersely puts it:
"S'long. Meet you in Charlotte June
24th!" O. K. See y' later!
"Far back in my childhood I hold
pleasant memories of the coffee berry
in its natural state, and its grateful
aroma when roasting over the kitchen
fire," write a venerable N. II. lady.
"Although the old house is gone and
a new one stands in its place, I often
see in my dreams, the little coffee
grinder by the window, and grind
again the coffee for breakfast.
"But time passed on and the pleas
ure of indulgence in coffee was whol
ly lost in the ill effects on my ner
vous system. I was troubled with fre
quent and severe spells and headache
which sadly interfered with my work.
"My sleep was less sound than for
merly and nightmare often disturbed
my fitful slumbers, until at last in
somnia held me in its relentless grasp.
I would lie awake nearly all night.
"Other troubles set in until I was
pronounced incurable by several of
our best physicians. They all pro
hibited the use of coffee. I was in
deed like one-under the spell of the
drink habit, but I obeyed implicitly
my medical advisers, for I had become
a great sufferer.
A friend who had been greatly bene
fited by changing from coffee to Pos-
tum, gave me a cup of this health bev
erage to try. I found its flavour pleas
ant, while at the same time it agreed
with me perfectly; in fact, seemed just
what was needed to build me up.
T ordered some at once, but was
disappointed to find mine did not taste
like my friend's I had not 'boiled it
long enough. After I had learned this
fact and made my Postum according
to directions I had uniform, satisfac
tory results.
"Well, to make a long story short,
I seemed to have found Ponce, de
Leon's fountain of youth, for my
friends remarked that I was growing
young. My mind became clearer and
more vigorous, and I took up the work
which I had reluctantly laid aside,
and much more with it.
"If my case was incurable, as the
good doctors had said, I had at least
found something to allay my insomnia
sufferings, and serve for real nourish
ment when appetite failed. Nearly
five years have passed since I drank
my first cup of Postum and I am as
much in love with it today as ever."

tween Oxford and Cambridge on the
one side and Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton and Columbia on the other is
fixed for next Saturday, lae event
of the week for ring followers will
be the international bout in Dublin
Tuesday night between Jem Roche
and Tommy Burns, the American
champion.
The next seven days will form a
critical period in Republican nation
al political Affairs, witnessing further
progress of the Taft boom on the one
hand and more thorough organiza
tion of the opposition on the other.
The conventions, state and district,
to be held next week, will for the
most part be in Secretary Taft's
favor. The state convention will be
held in Des Moines, Iowa, which
state is practically conceded to Taft.
An expression in his favor is likewise
expected from the New Mexican ter
ritorial convention to be held next
Saturday.
The Taft managers likewise expect
favorable results from district con
ventions to be held during the week
in Ohio and Virginia. Secretary Can
non is expected to capture the dele
gates from the Eighteenth, Twenti

districts of Illinois, all of which
will be held during the week.
Governor Johnston of Minnesota,
Secretary Taft and Governor Hughes
are listed as speakers at the annual
banquet of the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick in New York city Tuesday
night. Senator Knox will he heard
at a similar function in Philadelphia
the same night. If Governor Johnson
decides to keep his engagement and
make the trip East the event will
probably have important develop
ments in regard to his boom for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
