This time it is not for the purpose of making money out the former's state but in his interest in politics trying to secure a position in the cabinet for the North Carolinian of many political parties. We do not believe Mr. Roosevelt will appoint him to a secretaryship should there be a vacancy, and we hope, if he does, that his nomination will be turned down in the senate. Were the position offered to some man from this state who was republican in politics through principle U. S.

REP- If one would listen to Speaker Can non he would conclude that the senate had no other legislative duties than to approve of the action of the house of representatives. The speaker Is very angry because the senate dared to amend the statehood bill passed by the lower house. He seems to think that because the house has the exclusive right under the constitution to origi nate revenue legislation that it is par amount In every way to the senate. Has not Senator Aldrlch or any other senator as much right to oppose mak ing a state out of Arizona and New Mexico as has Speaker Cannon or any member of the house to vote in favor of such a proposition? Mr. Cannon claims for the house the right to "run things in the senate. It is absurd and childish for him to show such temper at the action of the senate re garding that and the Philippine tariff bill. His attitude and that of other members of the house toward the sen ate because of its action in these mat ters is calculated to make the latter body all the firmer in standing by its vote on the statehood bill. He Is pur suing the wrong course to bring about a satisfactory settlement of the differ ences between the jt wo houses. But it suits us. We say, "let the heathen rage." They are playing right Into the hands of the opponents of 'the state hood hill. These dictators of the house seem to think the senate shas; no rights they are bound to respect; that the senate is a mere .flgureheaA audi Is to be bullied and frightened- by threats Into doing their . bidding.. We hope the senate will consider . this a fitting opportunity to show the house that it knows what its rights are and that it intends to maintain them. We do not think any of the senators who voted against the Philippine bill or for the amendment to the statehood bill will be frightened into submission by the implied threat in the remarks of Congressman Watson about the house not standing for such treatment. The speaker of the house Has become to absolute and so despotic in his rule over that body that he has come to think that he has the right to master it over the senate also. We hope the leaders of his party in the senate will taxe tnis occasion lor teaching him a wholesome lesson. south. According to the paper quoted, the Alabama representative looks upon the civil war as he does the war of the Rosea in English history. Those wars. too. were civil wars, and the English people soon ceased to discrim inate batween the men who won and the men who lost. Mr. Underwood, as we understand it. desired that the gov ernment undertake the marking of graves of confederate soldiers who fell In battle in whatever section, while tne t oraker think the people generally of this state would take pride in having one of her citizens in the cabinet If he was the man. As to his qualifications for the position of secretary of the interior there are other men in the state, real republicans, just as well fitted for the place, men who have stood by their party through thick and thin and have tlon of headstones to those eraves lo- not swung from one party to another caieu In the north. Th Alahamlan's I Ja nrnsnwto rf fiyinnnlol TnH-Ho 1 view of the civil war is doubtless the proper one, and the glory of both sides is the common heritage of Americans; but we question whether any of us are really willing to so regard it Few. if any, of we southerners are enabled to glory in the achievements of any of the federal soldiers In the late war. and certainly we are not more preiu- aicea man those on the other side. This is one united country and so far as the present and the future are con cerned this section is as patriotic as any otner, hut time alone can wipe out all feeling. This being true, the matter of the government care of the graves of our soldiers should be volun tary, in other words,, while it is no more than right that the graves of ex-confederates be marked at govern ment expense, it should be done with out special effort on the part of our representatives in congress, and with out objection, especially of a captious character, to what is done. Repre sentative Underwood is" out of order. We do not think the ex-confederate soldiers and their friends should ask profit offered. If Mr. Roosevelt has all the admiration for asquare man and abhorrence of a trickster that he claims to have he will pass Marion Butler over in making his choice of a North Carolinian as Secretary Hitch cock's successor. ' In appointing him he will be conferring no honor on the state or strengthening his administra tion with any party or set of men in the state. Such appointment would be considered simply and purely as a personal reward to Marion Butler for whatsoever aid he may have given the president in the matter of North Carolina politics and in the hope that his political trickery might be useful to the republican party in the future. But Mr. Roosevelt 6bould know from Butler's past record that he cannot be the care of confederate cemeteries the south. the federal government to provide for I counted on; that his only kind of polit in J ical gratitude is that which has been defined to be a "lively sense of favors to come." We believe Mr. Roosevelt is too good a judge of human nature and knows Marlon Butler and his po litical record too well to be willing to have him a member of his official family. The Lumberton Argus of yesterday announced that as its last issue. The Argus Publishing company j has sold out to the Robesonian Publishing com pany and thus goes out of the news paper business. We are sorry to learn this. We shall miss the semi-weekly visits of this sprightly and cleanly edit ed paper to our office. Brother Peter son gave his subscribers a good paper. He worked through his columns for the good of his section and the advance ment and moral up-lifting of his peo ple. We are glad to know that his retirement from newspaper work will be only temporary. In this consolida tion of the two papers The Robesonian will- be greatly benefitted. It will now have the field to itself and with Its larger patronage will be enabled to Improve upon its already most ex cellent paper. It looks like Patrick is going to suc ceed in letting old age cheat the hang man in his case. BLACKBURN WORKS DUMB RACKET His any emergency the reports of serious anti-foreign riots in various parts of China have no ler ror for the members of the legation, who live in their fortified enclosures as in a city by themselves.

The American legation in thi Mtr'ie a acsuiar lorxress and is the first of ficial residence owned by the Ameri can government in any country. The buildings were constructed by Sydney W. Meeley, assistant supervis ing architect of the treasury depart ment, who was sent to China after the Boxer uprising more than three years ago for the purpose of building a" safe retreat for the members of the Ameri can legation. He completed his task recently and returned to the Uniited States. . The buildings are of brick and stone and of very solid construction. Th largest building is for the use of rh minister. Surrounding: it are hniiiiinov xor tne secretaries, the chancellory Dunamg, and a number of smaller structures. They are all built closelv together and are surrounded by a for midable wall of masonry. A short distance back of the wall on on aide is tne great city wall, on which has been constructed an American fort, equipped with small guns. The Ameri can legation is now as well protected as any of the other legations. In a case of emergency the American resi dents of Pekin could find refuge in the 1 N If . , itrgauon quarters. The present garrison of the Ameri can fort is not very strong, but should it oecome necessary, there are enough troops available in Manila and two transports are in the harbor of Manila ready to bring a strong force of Ameri can soldiers to Pekin in case of trouble Pekin Dispatch.

NEW YORK CITY. MR. GROSVENOR ON TERM. THE THIRD After a vielt to the White hous Congressman Grosvenor declares in favor of a third term for Mr. Roose velt. He sas all this talk about a third term makes him tired; that Washington never said anything against a third term, and that he can not see any reason why the people can-cot- elect a man to the presidency as long as they ivant to. All this may be very true, and' 6till there stands the unwritten law against a third term for a president, which the people have rigidly enforced for over a century. Even President Grant, with all his rep utation and popularity, could not se cure its repeal by popular consent in his partyj If a majority of the people j wanted to keep a man in the presi dency for his whole life they could do so. No one denies Mr. Grosvenor'a proposition, but the obstacle In his wav U mar be Secretary Taft does Is that the people do not want It and I not want to on the bench' and that wont have it. Mr. Grosvenor thinks Xhe Paet does not want him in Watson's Magazine for March de votes much of its editorial space, twenty-eight pages in all, to the Georgia gubernatorial campaign. It goes for Clark Howell 4ttooth and toenail." In reply to the charge by Mr. Howell that the magazine is owned by Town Topics, Mr. Watson admits that com pany owns a majority of the stock in bis magazine, but savsr "I nm thin magazine. Not a line can go into it to which I object. Not a line can be kept out of it to which I put my ap proval." There are fourten pages de voted to letters praising the magazine. The balance ds composed of miscellan eous articles. Massachusetts has more laws for the protection of children than any other state in the union such as child labor laws, compulsory school laws, proba tion officer laws, etc. still, according to the report of the state prison associ ation the number of children between the ages of seven and seventeen years arrested for offenses is about ten thou sand annually. Caleb Towers case must go back to the state courts for final disposition, says the federal supreme court. Hope the Kentucky courts will get him in the penitentiary after awhile. He Has Stopped Talking About Many Proposed Stunts Representative Blackburn has changed his tactics very materially since his last visit to North Carolina. When he left here he was talking of doing a half-dozen different stunts, one or which included a speech on the floor of the house in denunciation of his political adversaries. Since his re turn his vocabulary is almost limited to that of a dumb -man. He does co to the extent of saying "good morn ing," an greeting friends, and on one or tw ooccasions last week was heard to make response of "yes," and "no," Silence is Mr. Blackburn's guiding thought since he talked over his case with his attorneys at Greensboro and Asheville. When the congressman returned to W ashington he and his friends consid ered the advisability of calling a mass meeting at Wilkesboro, in which Re publicans from every township in the district were to be present with the object of tendering him another nom ination. Vindication by mass meeting was not considered the advisable thing by a number of Blackburn's friends and the idea was abandoned, although some of his enthusiastic supporters said three thousand people could be gotten together. Washington Special to News and Observer. A FACT ABOUT THE "BLUES" What is known as the "Blues" is seldom occasioned by actual exist ing external conditions, but in the great majority of cases by a dis ordered 1VCD - Glenn and Insurance. We hope the News and Observer has not correctly quoted Governor Glenn in regard to his attitude towards in surance companies. Our Raleigh contemporary says the governor is pre paring his message to be submitted to the legislature of 1907 and after adding that insurance will be a con spicuous feature of the message quotes him as saying: A large number of the Dremiums paid by the citizens of North Carolina go elsewhere, and in my judgment the insurance companies doing business in this state ought to be required to in vest a large per cent of their premiums in North Carolina; and, too the amount paid by policyholders to the insurance companies is said to be too much."
