Charlotte Observer. Tbef in The Washington Poet several days ago an editorial under tbe above heading, which we with all of our people would read. The election is over and they should be able to con after it calmly. "The inevitable drift of the campaign into personalities this year, in spite of all the good resolutions of its nrincinal candidates, and after the orators on both sides had held themselves in check through eeveral months of eager work, recalls the fact that for the last forty years no such contest has escaped the taint. There seems to be a streak in human nature which demands that sort of thing as an accompaniment of really active electioneering. Even in years when there have been big issues enough to satisfy every require ment for an impersonal struggle, it has seemed impossible to keep shut entirely the floodgates of abuse. 'A particularly flagrant example was tbe warfare made against Mr. Lincoln when he ran for re-election in 1864. He was represented ss a buffoon, a libertine in speech, a heartless ghoul, who would crack Jests on a battlefield strewn with dead and dying soldiers; while McClellan was only a carpet soldier, a traitor, who wore the Union blue while conniving with the Con fed eracy, a coward who would buy peace at any price. "Four years later, Grant was a popu lar hero, but that did not prevent his detractors from assailing him as a brainless clod, a political general purely, and a confirmed drunkard; and as for Horatio Seymour, he had been a copperhead throughout the war, and had begun his address to the mob which he 'ried to disperse in the draft riots of 1863 with an appeal to 'My friends.' "In 1872 Grant was a dissolute wretch who had turned the White House into a dive, a speculator in gold and stocks, who used the people's trust as a common asset in his business, and a nepotist, who took care of his own, even when he knew them to be corrupt and worthless. Greeley was a hypo crite in his war record, a fanatie in his views and temperament, and a hum bug in his .'make-up' and manners. "In 1876 Tilden was a railroad wrecker, a blackmailer of canal thieves, and an auction bidder for electoral votes, while Hayes was a weakling who madebargains with the Southern lead ers, buying his seat with the pledges of immunity to tbe Ku-Klux Klan. "In 1880 Garfield was a purchasable statesman and a crooked lobbyist, while Hancock was the tool of Tammany Hall and an ignoramus on all the fin ancisl and fiscal questions then before tbe country. In 1884 Blaine was all that 'Garfield had been and worse, while Cleveland was a moral leper, a hater of Irishmen and Catholics, and a 'trimmer' on vital issues. . "In 1888 Cleveland was a free-trade bogeyman, while Harrison was a raiser of corruption funds and seeking the White House as the only alternative of the poor-bouse. In 1892, Harrison was responsible for the Sherman silver act, and a financial kiter who was Just keep ing the nation out of bankruptcy by methods which would no bear inspec tion, while Cleveland had played hocus-1 pocus with the Democratic platform, and did not mean to do a solitary thing that his party had promised in his behalf, to say nothing of the scandalous stories about his land speculations and his former goings-on in the Executive Mansion. "In 1896 Bryaa was an anarchist, and McKinley was owned by the cor porations and his creditors; in 1900 McKinley was a tyrant who played at 8iAan in the Philippines, and main tained polygamy and slavery there of his own deliberate accord, while Bryan was a paper - colonel, an oratorical windbag, and false to bis friends. "Vet history will teach our posterity to think that Lincoln and McClellan, Grant and Selmour, Tilden and Hayes, Garfield and Hancock, Cleveland and Blaine, Harrison and Bryan and Mc Kinley were men who loved their country and deserved well of ber. 'And we doubt not that after the reversed amenities of the pending campaign have passed out of mind, even the champions of Parker will look with complacency upon Roosevelt's aspira tions to second term, and the devotees of Roosevel will admit thtOParker possessed . some virtues that decent young, men could afford to emulate. So wags the world of politics!" All this deserves to tinklffleeply into tbe heart of every man who has a bal lot and is worthy of it. It is too late to say it if it were merely for dema gogy, bat we are honestly afraid of Mr. Roosevelt and wrote about him during the campaign no word that we would now recall. Yet we repeat that which we have so often said, that tbe people of tbe United States have never elected ss their President a liar or thief, nor ever will. Mr. Roosevelt is a man of honor, of truth, of patriotic impulses Tbe danger from him is in bis utter ditregard of race distinctions; his couf tempt for written law; his belief that the will of the executive should be the 'aw of the land; his defiance of prece dent; his impulsiveness; his imperious ness; his hot-headedness; bis rough rider temperament. "Such men be very dangerous." God forgive us if we do him wrong. As for falsehood, dis honestly and kindred vices away with these accusations! These and worse were charged against George Wash ington. Tbe Pope'. Watch. The story of the watch which Pope Pius carries is well worth telling. One of the cardinals was at the Vatican re cently and while talking with pope, Pius took his watch from his pocket to see what time it was. The cardinal no ticed that the timepiece was a cheap nickel affair with an old shoestring at tached to it in place ot a chair. The cardinal drew his own costly cb.ro from his pocket and asked the pope to take it as a gift, and give him the nickel one. The pope's face lit up with one of those smiles which if one has been fortunate enough to see, can never be - forgotten, and Baid that the old watch was quit good enough for him. He added that it was given to him when a lad by his mother, who saved up her hard earned coppers until she could buy it but there was no money left for a chain. One of his sisters gave him the shoestring for that, and he was so pleased with his gift that he promised his mother he would carry it as long as it kept time. The pope ba never had another watch and says that he never will. Par of Lreglelatore. The overwhelming defeat of the pro posed amendment of tire constitution of Maine increasing the pay of the mem bers of her legislature from $150 to 1300, denotes no disposition on the part of the people to treat their lawmakers with lavish prodigality. The compen sation of the Maine legislators is the smallest lump sum paid by any state in the Union. New Hampshire comes pretty close to matching it with $200 salaries, while Connecticut pays $300. Other states are more generous in this respect,, Massachusetts pays her legis lators $750 for the session. New York and Pennsylvania pay $1,500, though it is not so many years ago that New York paid only $3 per day for a session of one hundred days, Illinois $1,000 and Ohio $600. Five other states pay all the way from $200 to $550 for tbe session. All other states pay their legis lators a per diem to figure up to about the average of the lump sum payments in other states, tbe average length of the legislative sessions in these states being about sixty days. Down in Texas, when the session exceeds that number of days, the per diem is reduced from $5 to 2. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He yjrites "a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulcera tion of the stomach. I had often fonnd Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescrib ed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack n 14 months." Electric Bitters are positively gnaranted for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation and Kidney troubles. Try them. Only 60c at all druggists. How Harold Wis.

Various Georgia newspapers are now discussing the urgent necessity for rural police to be utilized for the protection of country folk. This necessity has appayled to my mind from tbe start, for two reaftns: First, because the distances between farm houses are much greater in the country than between houses in town. If there is anything in being in touch with one's neighbors it grows out of the prompt relief that can be gen to a fam ily in distress or to answer to an urgent call in time of conflagration or accident. Therefor! the fact is understood that town or city people being always near at hand there is less need for providing po lice or guards to insure such service or assistance in towna or city, while rural actions are more exposed and by reason of distance almost helpless in time of fires or sudden accident. -' Second, It is the rural district where rape violence almost invariably occurs, and ot all dangers which afflict the farming classes there is nothing which so completely demoralizes their con tentment or menaces the continuance of farm life as this. It has been aptly stated that this spe cies of violence does as much to upset the calculations and serenity of innocent and law-abiding blacks as it does for tbe white families where it occurs. We must protect them in their rights to live and make an honest living so long as the two races live together in this country, and this rural police would be a guard for the innocent as well as a defense against the guilty. Under exietiug conditions tbe next legislature must arrange for this rural police for these two reasons as well as others that could be named in this con nection. It has reached a place wheretfarming interests are most seriously jeopardized by this helpless and unprotected situa tion, in which the farm white women of our couDtry are placed by viciouB law breakers. " These women must either go to the field with their pro tectors or persuade these protectors to abandon agriculture and get to other businete where these helpless ones can find neighborly protection in towns or cities. This prevailing condition has made many farmers sell their farming lands and get away to more protected locali ties. There will be more of this deplet ing work unless the exodus is stopped by some protective or defensive process. It is granted that such rural police men should be prudent and painstaking persons. It would not do to turn over any authority into the hands of wild, reckless or hair-brained officials. There must be checks on violence everywhere, and it is the part of statesmanship to place proper restrictions on the author ity of the local police. This rural police would deter ciime if their existence was properly adver tised. The lawless and vicious would be careful, if there was a force to cur tail their lawlessness. The very unprotectedness of farm houses is an invitation to rapists, and when the rural police is properly estab lished there will be danger for these vi cious ones in their attempt before there is more serious consequences. The best governed places are those where there is but Utile show of rude authority. Where standing armies are kept, as in Russia, to hold down the masses, there will be always senous dangers of insurrection and revolt in spite of force. A rural police in tbe State of Georgia should not be always in evidence, but it should be sufficiently well organized and disciplined to be ready at a mo ment's warning. The vagrant law passed by tbe legis lature is a dead letter because nobody is empowered to enforce it in tbe country places, where it is manifestly needed as much as in towns and cities. The houses rented by many of our colored people are crammed with other persons than those known to be em ployed or who pay the rent. These idle ones harbor in such places, and not only do they consume the profits of other and more industrious laborers, but they demoralize the better ones by their presence and theW idleness We need the rural police to be able to deal with these vagrants. The next legislature will be asked very emphat ically to pro4?e the police. The Best Llalaaftat.

There was no harder case than that of Abel Giddings inl the lumber diJ trict, and that was saying much. He was a drunkard, a gambler, and much besides. A life so riotous and unworthy could not last long, and when the end drew near no one was very sorry. A hard winter, in which he had spent several nights drunk out in the storm, hastened the inevitable. Spring found Abel Giddings moneyless, friendless and homeless. Then, partly because he was lost to all sense of shame, and partly because he had nowhere else to go and must get out of the camp, he made his way backftp the wife whom he had deserted a dozen years before, believing, in a dogged, unemotional sort of way, that she would see him through somehow. And, such is the miracle of woman's love, she did. Yet it did not quite seem like love at first. She was sorry to see him again, and his presence on her threshold woke many bitter memories. She took him in as a duty rather than as an act of affection. And through the weeks that remained est his wrecked and hopeless life she cared for him with hands that had earned her own and her children's bread; and he accepted all this with a soul that was dead to appreciation and to gratitude. So at last it seemed for several weeks. And then one day, as she brought bis food, and turned patiently and uncom plainingly again at his petulant bid ding, there came over his stolid and stunted soul and unwonted feeling and wonder. What was it in the heart of this gentle woman which led her to do all this for the man who had filled her life with sorrow T For the first time be thanked her for ber kindness, and when he did so her face lighted up with a sudden look which he had not seen there before. Then for the first time there came to him something that might be called remorse. He lived over again bis worse than wasted years; lived in imagination tbe years that his wife had spent; and he cursed himself that he had not crept off into the woods and died like the dog that he called himself before he ever cast his black shadow across ber path again. But he was too weak to creep away again. There was nothing for it but to stay and die; and to pray, if ever he could bring himself to pray, that it might not be long. But from that hour he watched her with a new interest, and hourly grew his sense of shame and of gratitude. With it, too, as he tried to pray for death, rame another feeling. He tried to force it back. It was bad enough to impose on bis wife; he would ask no favors of God. Bat one day his feelings overcame him. "0 Mary," he cried, how could you ever take me back ?" And when she wept the answer she could not put into words, he found courage to ask, "Mary, I didn't suppose there was a living soul that M good enough to love a wretch like me. Do you suppose God is as good as you are f" And so a hardened, wicked man awoke again to the desire for better things, and a darkened life went out with a tremblings hope, awakened with in it by the miracle of love. 9 Turnip, tram New York. Charlotte Observer. "What are you doing out this time of night f" asked an Observer man of a wholesaler, who was on the street late Saturday evening. "Do you want to know. Well, I have a shipment of turnips and cab bages thatfs just come in from New York, and I'm looking after it." "Turnips and cabbages brought here from New York T" "Sure. Turnips are worth 60 cents s bushel, too. There has been so much dry weather here that our crop has fallen short." And turnips are about the common est kind of vegetables, too. ' A Bare Thine.

Pittsfield, Mass., Nov. 11 By hid ing her playthings and teasing her al most into desperation, a nurse in the North Adams Hospital has restored to Mabel Vitalis the power of speech. The little girl at last cried out in "I know where it is," and her rage, the nurse had done what doctors had despaired of doing. m The little girl fell from a piazza and fractured her skull from ear to ear, For weeks her recovery was considered? impossible. The surgeons removed much of the skull and slowly the child began to mend and showed every indi cation of returning mental faculties but she was voiceless. Lip language was practiced and artic ulation of words was tried daily without result. The surgeons were about to dis charge her as a mute for life when the nurse tried her experiment. When her voice was restored the child showed that she had been cognizant of everything which bad been going on about ler. She knew the names of the nurses and the surgeon and astounded the house doctor by bidding him good morning when he arrived. First-Class Accommodations to Fastidious People.
