BWILMINGTON,N. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1907 ROOSEVELT' AND RRYANv Carrying out the John Temple Graves idea of political amity that Bryan should place in nomination before the next democratic national convention the name of Mr. Roosevelt for presi dent dt has been suggested that Mr. Roosevelt place Mr. Bryan in nomina tion for the same office in the republi can convention. We have an amendment to make to those two propositions, which is that one party nominate Roosevelt and Bry an as its ticket and the other put up , tha names of Bryan and Roosevelt res pectively for first and second places on the ticket, and that after the nomina tions have been made the two men cast lots to determine which shall take first place and which second on the two tickets. We do not think advocates of those ' two propositions could seriously ob ject to our proposal. We think that would be the fairest way of settling ilia contention which might naturally be expected to arise after the conventions of the two parties had accepted the suggestions as to the nomination of the head of each ticket. Surely there is as much sense in our proposition as there is in either of the other two,-This would have to be done, of course, with the understanding that there would be no bolting- in either party and that all democrats and all republicans would stand by the final results of the two conventions and the subsequent cast ing of lots to settle the differences be tween the two men, put up for the two places. We hope Mr. Graves will give our suggestion serious attention. We feel sure he will be inclined to accept it after doing so. CHEERS FOR BRYAN. The papers are talking about the magnificent ovations given Mr. Bryan, by the populace wherever he goes. They talked the same way prior to election times in 1S96 and in 1900, but when the (time came to count the votes the Bryan" admirers were not there. . If all the people who shouted: for Bryan in those twcr campaigns had voted for him Mr. McKinley would hardly have received the electoral, vote of a single state. The people yelled for Bryan during the campaigns and voted for his opponent on eleo-tabn-day. Judging by the yelling of the campaign crowds he was going to carry such states as Iowa, Ohio and Minnesota; -when his votes were count ed! his friends were glad he had car Tied such as South Carolina and Geor gia. His friends have again begun the same old cry of the crowds everywhere being enthusiastic for him. Yes, we suppose they are, just as they were in 1S96 and 1900, and give them a chance to vote for him in 1908 and as many, if not more, will flunk as did in those years. It is nonsensical, in face of the records of those two election years,, for his friends, to try to stir up the feeling that h would stand any chance of election if nominated, just because crowds are cheering him wherever he shows himself in public. Mr. Bryan as the democratic nominee in 1908 would not secure as many electoral votes as he did in 1900. Then he carried the solid south; as the dem ocratic candidate in 1908 he would break it,, and the election of the re publican candidate would" be more unanimous than it ever has been since - - presidentia?"e2ectors have een chosen by popular vote. SOUTH AND THE PRESIDENCY. We are sbrrr.to see the Raleisrh Times take Kiir;h ctrnnf rmsitfrm' against, the nomination by the demoj crats of a southern man for president. Does The Times think that the party stands any better showing for electing a man, from the north or the east or the west than, from the south? Why should not the party have as much' right to select its candidate from the south as from any other section of the country? It would hardly be pos sible for a southern: man .to secure fewer electoral votes than did the can didate from Nebraska in 1900. If we are to be defeated anyhow let's go down with our colors flying and every man at his post on the old democratic ship instead of striking our colors al most before the fight.! There are more staunch supporters of the true princi ples of democracy among the promi nent men of that party 'in the south than are to be found in any other sec tion of the country. . There are in the party at the south men as capable as in any of the other sections. Why then should our section be tabooed and none of her public men be con sidered eligible? It is time for th9 democratic party to wipeout section al lines and it should not be afraid to show to the country that it is will ing to do so. If the democratic party, which has its chief strength in the south, is opposed to recognizing it as a part of the union we cannot find fault with others for trying to keep the southern states in political thral dom. In the Sunday school of a certain church an this city while, just before Easter, the vote of the scholars was being taken for the choice of one of their number for crucifer of chorister boys a little tot of a girl was asl:ed by her teacher who she wanted to vota for for the position. Her prompt reply was "Springer". Evidently she had Sieard mjuch talk about the recent heated campaign for the nomination of mayor of this city. Another amusing story from the same Sunday school comes to our ears. A very youthful scholar, on being asked what were the Epistles, answered that they were "the wives of the apostles". Evidently that little one did not believe in clerical celebacy. We believe those negro troops of the Twenty-fifth regiment were dismissed from the service without honor by President Roosevelt, Secretary Taf t's superior and the commander-in-chief of the army. Does not that leave to Mr. Taft the privilege to say either "I did it" or "I did not do it"; just as political conditions may seem to re cuire? v . Mr. Graves does not take water on his Chattanooga speech. He backs it up with a double leaded editorial in The Georgian. Wonder if Mr. Graves expected that speech to put him in the forefront for the second place on the ticket? V - Governor Glenn lost no time in set ting himself straight before the public in his Pinehurst speech. He is right in not wanting the people to set him down as a supporter of the John Tem ple Graves idea. i - We suppose the country has got to be afflicted with a repetition of the Thaw trial unless District Attorney Jerome can be induced to admit that Mr. Delmas got the better of him in the former contest. The Durham Herald thinks there is small chance for conservatism until radicalism has run its race. Doesn't The Herald think radicalism has about reached the end of its rope? The mistrial in the Thaw case works one blessing to the country. It post pones for several months his taking to the rostrum. While Mr. Carnegie is doing so much for Pittsburg can't he help its reputa tion by adding a few names to that "white role 2" Durham is to have a two weeks carnival. Wilmington tenders that city her deepest sympathy, Mr. Roosevelt has not yet given the country the simplified spelling of "liar."

The Most Useful Flower. The florist was still pale from the Easter rush, but he had earned a great deal of money, and that made him talk ative. "Roses and lilies yield," he said, "co logne, and violet petals, candied, are edible, but the most useful of all flow ers is thepoppy. "Tlie juice of the poppy gives us opi um.

Phonograph for Primitive Man While on a visit to the Jittle-known transtanna districts, the Governor of British East Africa, recently gave a phonograph concert to the natives. He found that these concerts had a great effect in promoting good understanding with the wild and primitive people. While the governor was in the Kenia forest great difficulty was experienced in persuading the natives to approach the white men, and it was only by means of the phonograph that they were induced to leave their retreat. On the first occasion; when they did so the sound of the bugle call so terri fied the warriors that they bolted like rabbits. l4ondon Echo.

The Southern ; railway is; having I 80-pound rail put down on the North i Carolina railroad bet wen Selma and dreensDore and the rail has been strung all along the line, and the work of laying it has already begun. At the present time CO-pound rail is In use being entirely too light for the heavy trains that pass over it. Work of lay ing the heavy rail was begun at Selma and a large force of hands are mak ing rapid progress in the direction of Raleigh. This will make a wonder ful difference in the j smoothness of tthe road, and when the new rail lis down passengers will at once j perceive the great improvement. On the main line of the Southern 90-pound rail is used, but there enormous engines are used and a heavier rail is necessary than onl the line between Greensboro and Selma. No complaint whatever can be made now in regard to the service between Greensboro and Goldsborb, and when th .avy rail is put down it will equal tho trunk lines. Four trains each way a day gives a service -that dispels all complaints, and now a par lor car is operated on one train in each direction and a Pullman at night. There is no comparison in the service at the present time and a very few, years ago. Raleigh Times.
