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. "Ain't he grand?" The foundation of robust health is what is allowed to enter the mouth. The more simple the diet, the more perfect the health.

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 i Irrli Ann sin aI t. G AT, j J. ' t . i jv uie iwo parues nas ms 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. j j x 5 J J X 5 3rMC ! 5 Favor Mr. C. C. Mocre. MrP C. C.

NEWS FORECAST WEEK 11 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." "There's a Reason." Name given by -Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Washington, D. C, March 14 Apart from politics the coming week does not hold a great deal in pros pect in the way of. big news events. The American battleship fleet will being its target practice in Magoa lena bay, the leaders in the New York-to-Paris automobile race will enter the Rocky Mountain section, and there may be some interesting developments in the Far East. King Edward is cruising about the Mediterranean and Emperor William is due to start for the same region. The travels of these two monarchs will naturally afford grist for the J news mill and food for reflection j in the various chancellories of Europe. bile races at Savannah. The annual intercollegiate cable chess match be 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 eth, Twenty-first and Twenty-third 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. Rhode Island Democrats will meet in Providence next Saturday and will select delegates to the Denver convention and pass strong Bryan resolutions.
