The Democrat is not responsi ble for Roosevelt's present occu pancy of the Executive Mansion and certainly is not advocating his occupying it the third tenr. ROOSEVELT. That our President is a man of remarkable powers no one will hardly deny. He has a boldness and courage which the American people admire. He does things. But there are times when his most ardent admirers wish that he would not be quite so brave and that he would not rush in where his duties do not call him. One of these times is when he rushed into the controversy on natural history. In the first place it was not a questian which he was called upon to decide and in the next place it was not in harmony with the dignity of the office of the President. Mr. Craig's Prospects. The formal announcement of the candidacy of Locke Craig for govenor has brought a flood of endorsements from all sections of the State. His prospects for capturing the nomination are now very bright indeed, and, must grow brighter as the days goby. The feeling is strong thai this mountain warrior in the gr®at battles of the democracy should receive honor at the hands of the party he has so long and so ablyand unselffishly served Stronger still is the feeling that, he is eminently qualified for the high office. Mr. Craig needs only to be seen and heard to be liked and admired. Those who have seen and heard him are rallying to his standard with eagerness. He possesses those qualifications that go to make a man gubernatorial timber. He hails, too, from a section that ought this year to have the gov ernorship. True democrat, un fettered by any clique or combi nation, a man of the people, able, brave and clean, he is our choice for the governorship and we pre dict victory for him. —Lexington Dispatch. Whiskey Versus Education In Boone, Davidson county at an educational rally Mr. Cooner of Raleigh was the speaker aud in demonstrating some point gave reference to Mass in comparason with condition in North Carolina. This gave offence to one Mr. H. Grubb, a noted distiller of the community, who did not hesitate to contradict the statements of the speaker in terms more force able than elegant. The whiskey man had notreconed well and no soon were the words spoken than the speaker made for Mr. Grubb and a fierse fight followed. It was whiskey against education. It is always so. The liquor busi ness does not only foster educa tion, but instead takes from children not only the bread, but also the opportunity to improve life's conditions. Mr. Grubb will be remembered as the slayer of Obe Davis som few years ago. Mr. E. B. Cline and Mr. T. M. Hufham spent Monday in New - ton, \ A girl in Hickory got out of bed, took a slat from her bed, and smashed a mouse that was annoy ; ingher. You don't have to beleivej i t unless you want to. The Graded School Faculty." The School- Trustees after a long and careful consideration o r many applications have elected Prof. Staley principal of our Graded School. Mr. Staley is no doubt competent and well quali fied. His corps of assistants are also persons well prepared for the places which they expect to all. The Trustees have done their part and done it well; we have every reason to believe that the faculty elected will be faith ful and conscientious. There is another party the success of the sQhool arid that is the public. This school must have the hearty support of the patrons and the people of the town. Let the pub lic stand off and says, "It is re ported that the school is not sat isfactory. " 'lt is said that some thinfis are done at the school which ought not to be done." "Some say the teachers use par tlality.'' "lhere is something wrong with our educational sys tem." Just do this from to week and Prof. Staley ai*d his assistants will have a hard tim to succeed with the school. It is so easy to undermine the influ ence of a person in public and to hurt the influence of an institu tion that one should be careful of the things uttered. The Graded School is the pride of onr town. It does not belong to any class or clique in the town. It is not the school of the common people, it is the school for all the people. It does not belong to any church, or party, but is for all churches and all parties. It is not the school of the Junior Order any more than it is the school cf the Masons and other orders in the towp. Let no class, church, party or order delegate to themselves the responsibility of running the school, but let this be the tem ple in which there will be neither Greek nor Jew, bond nor free, but r schoal in which every one, rich and poor, high and low will have an equal chance to secure an education. Let the children of the land lord and the tenant sit side by side and recite in the same class and you will have a democracy so pure, so simply as to become the nation's bulwark. The Reformer. This is the age of reform and the voice of the reformer is heard in the land. It is remarkable how this spirit of reform takes hold upon persons. In religion it is prominent. Occasionally a person of intelligence by numer- j ous tests becomes a convert to spiritualism, or some other strange doctrine and when he has onc6 taken the first step it is strange into what vagaries and bold deceptions he will soon be led. He is ready to accept every thing and identify himself with anything. What is ttrue in re ligion is true in politics. In the political world there are reform ers and reform movements on every hand. In almost every city there is the reform club and in every election there is the re form party. This being true it would be well if the second bet ter thought the sober judgement should be called upon to decide certain things before they are adopted. A movement should not be endorsed simply because it is labeled "reform." Certain principles should always be called into question before accepting all that is offered. In becoming a reformer it should be borne in mind that ex isting conditions should not be changed without good and suffi cient cause. A law may have some defects and in certain cases work manifest harm, but in the main it is a good law. Is it wise to be in too great haste to change that law? No reform should be undertaken which is wrong in principle. No reform should be undertaken so long as the doctrine underlying that movement is open to question. It is well to let the time limit come in as a factor in reform move jments. Certain evil ought to 'be corrected, but the opportune time has not arrived. These reflections are given be. cause of the tendency to fall in with everything new coming be fore us these days. The reform er is not necessarily a blessing and everything labelled Reform is no necessarily good. The old maxims "Look before you leap." ' 'Be sure you are right, then gc ahead" will hold good in testing many reformers and many re form movements. Much in the Method We can't all be beautiful, it ap pears, but we can all make BEAUTIFUL We make the sort which are in teresting and lovely, whether or not yoar proportions are abso lutely correct or your complex ion faultless.
