CHEVALIER BUTLER.
WHEN" Senator Butler says that
"Mrs. Wilson is not one whom the
railroad would have selected" to run
the Round Knob hotel, he displays
the cloven hoof very conspicuously.
The man who will attempt to drag the
mubiitJi ui ins up puxiciiu iuuj at puuuuoii
controversy has fallen pretty low in
the scale. We think the senator has
blundered just there. North Carolina
politics has declined to a low level,
but we are pleased to believe that the
mass of North Carolinians have not
fallen quite so far. It is the politicians
not the people that are off colour.
Whatever may have been the fail
ings of men in public life in this
state hitherto, they have in their pub
lic utterances respected women. It
was left to this valiant champion of
reform, this up to date Roland, this
knight of the pie table round, to couch
a lance against her. How much more
of this sort of statesmanship will it
take to suffice? Truly, is not this a
valorous man ? He not only attacks
a woman, but, as an added proof of
his high chivalry and invincible valor,
he selects a widow.
Let us swell with a proper and just
pride when we contemplate this embodi
ment, this epitome, this double quin
tescence of North' Carolina manhood
that represents us in the Senate. Sen
ator! There is so much of courtesy
and of chivalery, of learning, of wis
dom, of ripe and rounded manhood
suggested by the name. Is this the
best we could do toward preserving
the dignity of the title?
Mr. Butler calls his paper the "Cau
casian." He should change its name.
It is a small thing to ask; the Senator
is facile at changes; it will be easy for
iim. Genuine Caucasians do not fol
low this method of warfare; mongrels
inight, but not Caucasians. In this
State Caucasian, like Senator, stands
or should stand, for a good deal.
Would Mr. Butler spoil both, at once?
In a recent editorial we stated that
information concerning the state had
never been put in attractive and ac
cessible form. Commenting upon this
the Charlotte News sets us rio-ht,. in Us
B -j -
usual courteous way, by pointing out
that the Board of Agriculture has re
cently issued a volume on "North
Carolina and Its Resources." We
have not fallen in with the publica
tion, but are pleased to learn that
something is being done to attract the
capital necessary to our upbuilding.
We are still of the opinion, however,
that the state has been poorly adver
tised as compared with other southern
states Arkansas, Florida, Texas and
Mississippi for example.
The railroads have claimed more
than their usual number of victims this
week. Two collisions in three days in
which nearly forty people have lost
their lives, suggests that there must
have heen an element of recklessness
or carelessness in the matter. Itis hard
to understand how, with the precau
tions taken by the road management
and the safeguards thrown around pas
sengers, such catastrophes can befall
unless railroad employes disregard orders.
j Who wrote "section 22" of the new
tariff law is likely to take its place as
an unsolved puzzle along with those
other classic querries , "Who wrote the
Junius letters? " and "Who hit Billy
Patterson?"
The energy with which Louisville is
trying to elbow St. Louis out of last
place, at the tail end of the ball season,
is'what the baseball editor would call
the "feature of the game." ...
Importers are declaring that, so
far as they are concerned, the tariff
law is squeezing all the juice out of
lemons.
A single boil seems to be -giving
Luetgert more trouble than all of Job's
did that worthy patriarch.
It is at last finally settled ' that
Paderewski has given up music. He
has had his hair cut.
The reports that come from the south
west now may be very truthfully term
ed somewhat yellow.
Can it be that Mr. Hanna has order
ed Gexeral Coxey to muffle his torn

ABOUT BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.
All books and magazines mentioned below
may be bad at Wbarton's book store.
Among the many excellent articles
in the Review of Reviews for Septem
ber are the foUowing: "Dr. Andrews
and Free Speech," "Canada and the
Klondyke," "Speaker Reed on the
New Tariff," -"Mr. McKinley as a Re
former" and England in the East.'
There is always an abundance of meat
in this magazine, and they who read
only one periodical will find it covers
the entire field, more fully than any
other. There is always the same ob
jection to it that there is to hash, how
ever. The staid old Atlantic will probably
always "gang its ain gait," as the
Scotch would say, but it is very sure
paced. It does not take up with any
of the wrinkles of the. periodical fad
dist, but it may be depended upon to
say something worth the attention of
serious-minded folks, always. It is
rather in a clags by itself among
American magazines, and while its
clientele is not so large as the illustra
ted monthlies, it may at least have the
satisfaction of knowing that it is much
more weighty. It opens with a contri
bution by Roosevelt on "Municipal
Reform," in which the latter gives his
views concerning the reform move
ment in New York. There is a second
installment of "Some Unpublished Let
ters," by Deane Swift, and "A South
erner in the Pelopensian War," by
Basil L. Gildersleeve. The finest pa
per of the number, though, is "On Be
ing Human," by Prof. Woodrow Wil
son. Mr. Wilson is one of the most
entertaining of our present day writers
and he is both thoughtful and enter
taining in this instance.
The Century, best of all American
illustrated, monthlies, all in all, is a
fair number this month. One thing is
noteworthy, the poetry of the number
is above the average. "A Chopin
Fantasy," by Robert Underwood
Johnson, has the classic beauty of
Mathew Arnold's verses, while "The
Violet Gate," by Clarence Urmy, is as
fresh and fragant as a violet under the
morning dew. The stories are average
only.
the Philadelphia Record critic says
the sedate William Dean Howells
has indulged in a Saratoga idyl in his
latest work, "An Open-Eyed Con
spiracy." The society that crowds
that famous American watering place
during the months of July and August
is submitted to an exhaustive and piti- j
achieved with a master hand at real
ism, and the same keen grasp of
character-drawing that marks every
novel of Mr. Howells is also revealed
in this light summer study, al fresco,
so-to-speak. The love study is started
by the "Open-Eyed Conspiracy" of an
elderly couple to interest a young girl,
who ishavmga dull time at Saratoga.
Their conspiracy leads to their own
confusion and a new wedding an
nouncement.
"The Painted Desert," by Kirk
Munroe, is another American story,
but one of adventure confessedly for
young America. It is notable for its
interesting description of that wonder
ful region of Arizona described in the
title, "It is a region," states Mr. Mun
roe, "almost as little known as the
deserts of the moon, and one shunned
with superstitious dread by the Indian
tribes who dwell on its borders as a
place of departed spirits. So desolate
is it, and so void of life or the means
of sustaining life, that not more than
a score of white men have ever gazed
on its marvels and lived to tell of
them." In this story a desert-wan
derer on the point of dying from thirst
suddenly discovers a hidden vallev
lying in the interior of one of the high
plateaux called mesas. In this valley
he discovers an old Quaker, who, with
his wife and an Indian boy, have been
obliged to live here for some years,
owing to the impossibility of their
crossing the desert to civilization
The book closes with a description of
a trip down the grand canon of the
Colorado. A picturesque feature of
the work is the snake-dance of the
Oraybi, the Moqui Indians.
Samuel Harden Church's "John
Marmaduke" is a romance of the Eng
lish invasion of Ireland in 1649. The
central figure is that of Cromwell.
Ella MacMahon's "The Touch
stone of Life' ' is a. tale of love and
politics, in which a novel revenge is
achieved by the hero. But what will
give it its chief interest to the modern
reader is its attempt to deal with em
pire-building in Africa. Some critics
have pretended to see in one of the
characters a reflex of Cecil Rhodes,
the dictator of Rhodesia.
Cy Warman, the engineer-poet, has
spun the story of "The Express Mrs-
senger and Other Tales of the Rail."
It contains the Kiplingesque story of
t i rrn r ,
xne locomotive That Lost Fter-slf "
Another tells of "A Locomotive as a
War Chariot."
