He wentln by accident and was encored amid noisy clamor, j He -was a "good fellow" with the Wlkall-etalned broncho buster, and he told the Mother's Congress how to rear children and bake apple pies He legalized the gobbling up" of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com pany, tn violation of law, and plead in defense, that his course was justified by "conditions." . s Those "conditions" were the cumu lative result of a period of agitation which bore , fruit in his greatest achievement one of the worst panics the nation has ever known. He founded an Ananias club and seen there was "Standing room only." Ha reprimanded the supreme court and taught the world to s&ze only at "Me" and "My Policies He defied congress and held the- con stitution in low esteem. He inaugurated a policy of milita rism which immediately ran appropria tions to army and navy up millions and millians of dollars, and yet he won fame as an advocate of "peace." He created endless boards, commis sions end cc-mmttteesand thereby pro vided warm berths for erstwhile friends. r ' lis kept the nation In an uproar, and furnished all the. scare heads for the newspapers. He contributed many new species of verbal invective to our language, and lavished weird epithets upon the heads of those who dared differ with "Sly Policies." He railed upon the "malefactors of great wealth," anj never secured a conviction of an octopus during seven years of noise and anti-trust bun combe. He apparently kept "big business", frightened, and yet accepted a cam paign fund of $260,000 from "My Dear Harriman." He traveled thousands of miles; de livered hundreds of speeches; jroasted here; praised there and honored the populace with- the smile which has become famous. Under the uplifting influence of his ministry the billion dollar congress fleveloped and his chief contribution - to history was a panic. He "retired to private life" amid tie clanging of gongs, and the sound ing of trumpets, and amid the fast nesses of African Jungles he sought peace by the aid of a coterie of re porters, a band of kodackers and sev eral phonographs. His "going away" was as quiet as his Lome coming. Aside from several hundred miles of advance press notices, nothing could to learned of his plans. Each time kn African lion or a flea was killed the 'Associated Press was covertly Inform ed, and his ardent admirers on this Bide of the water, managed thus to keep In touch with his movements re gardless of the secretive methods em ployed to conceal him. He returned to lead a quiet news paper life, and as "Contributing Edi tor has not been heard from more than once or twice per week. He now stands ready to accept, at ,the hands of the trained mob. "the nom ination and with a dee-lighted expres . sion will eay, "This is so sudden!" You ask, can "Big Business" stand another period of unrest? ' With pleas lire, "Big Business" has suffered naught at his hands. If a panic was averted at the psychological moment & "eras because "We cannot afford to Seur the- anger of tho Morgans." It Is the small business which will hear the brunt of it in the form of eteadily Increasing taxes. But so long as a nation may enjoy perennial vaudeville, why care who pays the freight? PROTECT OUR FORESTS. The . State Forestry Association held its meeting in Raleigh this week. The meeting was not without good re sults. Definite policies for forest con servation were adopted. State For ester Holmes a gentleman . who has rendered invaluable service is retain ed in office, and Mr. E. B. Wright, a prominent lumberman, was elected president of the association. Among the more important acts of the convention was the adoption of res olutions favoring a state-wide no-fence law which will take cattle and shogs out of the forests; urging state legis lation which will put North , Carolina on such a forestry protection basis as to procure federal aid in forestry pro tection. In addition, a state system of fire protection by a technical non partisan board was favored. Legisla - tion proposed in congress setting aside an appropriation of $80,000 to be used in combatting the chestnut blight was alo endorsed, , and the association pledged its support In. the effort to check the spread of this blight. The United States board of entomology in its war on the southern pine beetle is backed up by the state forestry asso ciation. This pest has already effected wide-speard devastation in this, and other sections of the state, and all that can be done to check the evil will be done. The work of the state geological survey was also endorsed North Carolina's forests resources are among her first assets, and every care should be taken to prevent them against damage from the pest and fire. Each year thousands of dollars In fire losses are reported. In many In stances these fires are preventable. The forestry association will exert Its efforts towards a checking of this needless loss. a The Manufacturers' Record has just issued an anniversary edition which depicts, in detail, the wonderful growth of the southern states during the past several decades. This edition is valuable as a book of reference. It contains an elaborate array of vital statistics having to do with every phase of the industrial expansion 'of the south, and it is a credit through out. The Record has exerted a pow erful influence in attracting capital to the south, and In promoting the re sources and advantages of this section. This greatly appreciated compli ment comes to The News from, its valued contemporary, the Winston Sentinel: , . - "The Charlotte News announces that it is to erect a home of its own and hopes to be installed therein with in a year. This is good news to that excellent paper's many friends. The News is a splendid publication and richly deserves the prosperity that it is enjoying." And by the way, we may say, "Same to you." The Sentinel itself is just now undergoing a process of expansion which will result in making an al ready good paper much, better. What Goeth On Impressions Received on The Streets, by a Charlotte News Staff Man. Rafn and Restaurants. Did you ever notice the increased number of people who take luncheon at the restaurants on a rainy day over the pretty, sunshiny days? Take a look the next rainy day and notice how many men and women you see there who do not ordinarily stop 1 nthe city over the noon hour. And the restaurant men know this and take it into consideration when they make preparation for the mid-day meaL It Is estimated that not less than 75 per cent more people will eat at the restaurants jn bad weather than would be there were the day pretty. This is not the entire estimated num ber of people who fail to go home on a bad day but there are a few who bring their lunch with them and eat in the office or store and there are also a few who refuse to go to a res taurant through the rain. Dead Streets-Cars. People become so thoroughly accus tomed to the conveniences of street cars that they do not realize just how much they depend on them and when the power went down yesterday morn ing owing to a break in transmission lines, many people' were forced to walk through the rain to make en gagements else hire a taxitfab or other conveyance. The operating department of the street railway bent every energy to ward the repairing of the- lines so that there might be no more inconvenience in geting home at the. lunch hour, than was absolutely necessary. The lines were connected just before 12 o'clock, and it was with a sigh of re lief and a feeling of Thanksgiving that the general public noted the moving of the cars and head the hum of the wheels under the conveyances which they are often inclined to criticise for one reason or another. Ordinance Enforcement. What the Looker-On would like to know is why pass a new ordinance to compel street work contractors to put the highways in traffic condition after laying sewer pipes and the like when there is a similar ordinance on the books, and the city engineer reports that it is. not enforced. ' Of course the contractors should clear the streets afte r they are through with their work, in order that people can use them. There is an ordinance now on the books to this effect. How much more good is a new ordinance covering the game condi tion going to do?. J ' It may be that two ordinances on one subject Is stronger and more easi ly enforced than one, but why t&ke up the time of the board of aldermen to pass another when there is one new In force.? These are questions which are be ing asked by many Charlotte j-esfdents today. THE LOOKER-ON.

Aside from its interest as a mu seum, the Palace of the Louvre in Paris has a great charm , to all who are acquainted with the history of France, for it has been the setting of some of the most thrilling scenes that have taken place in that nation. Centuries ago the commanding, posi tion which it occupies on the north bank of the Seine, now in the very heart of Paris, was taken advantage of tor the erection oi "a fortified castle The main keep was built in 1204, and later Charles V added a number of towers. Here were enacted many mili tary encounters, and in these stone towers and dungeons lived, and often died, many of the political prisoners well-known in French history. It was also used for 'some -time as an arse nal. In 1541, Francis I, having torn down the ancient keep, decided on an entire reconstruction. For this purpose he employed Pierre Lescot, one of the greatest architects of the period, who designed a beautiful struc ture In the form of a hollow square, with four 'facades and four comer pavillions. Lescot was extremely for tunate In having as a fellow-worker Jean Goujon, the greatest sculptor of the French Renaissance. His sculp tures for the windows, doorways, and Interior are famous the world ""over. These two geniuses evolved the finest example of the Middle Renaissance In France, although their designs were never entirely carried out. The re mains of the westfront still form a portion of the structure, but the Lou vre has been Increased to four times the size of the original plans. Henry II added a long gallery connecting the Louvre with the Tuileries, another fa mous building nearby. Richelius adopt ed the plans of Lemercier for the quadrangle. Of this portion the Pa villion Sully has remained. The Louvre, however, owes one of Its finest features to an amateur ar chitect named Perrault, who was a physician. Perrault entered a com petition which Louis XI held, and sub mitted a beautiful design for the East ern facade, which was accepted. Napoleon I was responsible for the turning of this great building into a museum. The vast art treasures which poured into France as a result of the Napoleonic wars were housed there. Napoleon I caused the building to be enlarged, and in the reign of Napoleonv II it reached its present enormous magnitude. It is the largest structure 1 In the world, covering fifty acres, and having cost $15,000,000. Much of this amount wa3 the result of private generosity, however. , The museum Itself consists. of seven departments. They are Egyp tian antiquities, Oriental antiquities and ceramics, Greek and Roman an tiquities, Sculptures, Works or Art, Prints and Manuscripts, and ' Marine collections. Many modern architects have turn ed to the Louvre for inspiration. One of the welKknown buildings obvious ly modeled on the old French- struc ture Is the City Hall of Philadelphia, although the tower on this building is from some other source. ' An admirable feature which has been adopted by the French Govern ment in connection with the Louvre Is a course of instruction for students of historical art. The course Is care fully planned, under the direction of competent instructors, and covers a period of three years. Many students take advantage of this valuable means of education. To the visitor every section of this immense building, every object of art wrested from other, nations by the mighty Napoleon, speaks eloquently of the stirring history of the great na tion of France. .
