Does Not Straddle Tlie fcllowinfi taken from H. E. C. Washington letter to the Char- Kitu Ob?crv(?r. Mr. Sitrunons has an understanding vJiJi Se.iator Cummins, leader of the } i i^ressive Republicans, and they will w 1 k to one end, that being to reduce i tain tariff duties for the benefit of tiie consuming public. The Penator has, by force of char- acier and sheer ability, compelled the Si nate to respect him. He is not a grand stand player, but a worker, full (f information and fight. He* is not afraid to take a position and support it. He does not straddle the fence on anything; his colleagues know where he stands on all public questions. No man in the Sen ite devotes more time to official duties than Senator Simmons He prepares a speech as he would a case for trial in court.

And caueht within the glory Of your earth-colored strain Man dreams along the highway And lives with God again. —Lawrence .Hodgson. The Durham Herald says: “Of cmrse the publication of the Laughing- house letter at this time would hurt Mr Kitchin, and that is why it was published.” That is news to us. We didn’t know the letter had been pub lished, and don’t believe it has been But if it has, that fact does not change the original purpose for which it was written. The coarse character and cruel determination that was back of the reasons for its origin is what needs a stern rebuke at the hands of North Carolina voters.—Greensboro Nfcws. Ended the Dry Spell.

Singular as It may seem, elephants Tvhiclx have associated with men en tertain the notion that, under special circumstances, they are not responsi ble if they utilize another to commit ail illegal act. The following is an In- t-tance of this elephantine morality: A man In Rangoon bought three >oung elephants to send to England. ' bey were tame and playful, but cun- 1 Mg. Knowing that it was wrong to ' al paddy (unhusked rice)—the idea iiad doubtless been impressed upon tiiem by punishment for stealing They -^ould not touch it themselves. lUit If a boy went to see them, he "ivould be seized by one, the little trunk would be coiled around his arm, rmd ha would be led to where the l.addy was kept In bags. The elephant would make a cat's i aw of the boy’s hand to take up a iiandful of paddy. Then, letting go, would turn up the end of his trunK, len it, and coaxlngly Invite the boy To drop in the paddy. Should the boy, however, put it i.ack in the bag, his arm would again e seized by the trunk, and his hand aid be again inserted into the paddy j fT The boy, anxious to be released, ■uld usually drop the paddy into the ’ link, and the elephant would blow 'lie vice into his mouth. ' After re- ; ating the operation several times, te elephant would scamper off, feei ng that he had got the paddy with out stealing it.—Harper's Weekly, THE McADOO A most delightful home in Greensboro N.

Flum-i’ke i.pou ttivi iiiouncjiin’scragged laco Gloweil the Great Carbuncle; beneath the nioon A rival i-o -Liie bun’s eye, and when night Qnluiued all the sprangie of itsi stars, A crirnson lur;j that leaped from ledge to ledge. Glinted like dancing marsh fires thro’ the tree>i, C'imbed the sheer heights, and hung above the crest A beckoning splendor. To the vale below At shut of summer twilight came the Man, And raised amazed eyes, for while the shades Empurpled all ihe valley, far o'erhead Flamelike upon the mountain’s crag- geJ face Glowed the Great Carbuncle, and burn ed and shed A double sunset. Through his mid night dreams Pulsed the irradiant vision as a forge Pulses what time the metal’s molten mass Gushes from out its maw. And when the dawn Flowered, and he saw his dream was not a drf“am. Haste hung upon his footsteps while he fared Up still and up, like many another led By the false |gleam of avrice. In his brain Lights leaped and throbbed—rich imageries of power Like those that swept the thought of Tamerlane And Alexander—the broad world his fee Could he but grasp the jewel. So he came. As noon had come in all those elder days. Though nameless ones had striven madly, where Flamelike upon the mountain’s cragged lace Glowed the Great Carbudcle. His trembling arms Outyearned to clasp the cincture of the stone. When, like a breathing thing, it loosed and leaped From the bedrock, cleft, as the light ning cleaves, A deep girthed pine bole, then the awaiting lake Embosomed it forever, while the Man Stared, fraught wi^h frenzy, then too poised and (eaped. Now in the wan ^late watches of the moon Mysteries ripples as of ruby run Across the hill hid waters, nor are lost Until they mingle wirh the rose of morn. —Clinton Scolland.

As a work of art that statue of the late Dr. Mclver, unveiled at Raleigh may be fine, but it resembles Dr. Mclver about as much as a June buc does a horse. Perhaps the artistic eye does not €xpect to see a resemblance in face, but surely it is in good taste to say that there should be something about it in keeping with the subject in hand. As shown in one of the Raleigh papers, it looks like a man at least seven feet tall and exceedingly slim, while Dr. Mclver was the reverse in both particulrrs —Greensboro Record. sfai in order to get readv for-work on our NEW BRICK ^ STORE.

TAFT, ROOSEVELT, UNDERWOOD. Tariff tiie Oeclding Issue of ttie Presidential Campaign. “The attacks on Mr. Taft’s tariff record by the Roosevelt brigadiers,” says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Independent, “would be more effective if Mr. Roosevelt had any tariff record at all except one of abso lute negation." That one sentence exposes the absolute weakness of the Republican party and the absolute strength of the Democratic party pro vided the latter organization develops the homely gumption to realize its Impregnable vantage ground. The tariff will be the deciding issue of the approaching campaign. Attempts to sidetrack It will be as futile as would be efforts to Invert the tides. Taft’s tariff record is shot ridden. Conceding even the far flung contingency that he may approve bills passed at the current session, Democracy will get the cred.lt for them. Roosevelt has no tariff record at all save of “absolute negation.” Through seven and a half years of opportunity he could never “see” the tariff save as a possible trap to treat gingerly. Who stands out of the Democratic hosts as irrevocably embodying the party’s interpretation of the tariff?
