rhaw in The Highest
Court.
If the example set by United States,
Judge Aldrich of New Hampshire in
the Thaw case shall be followed gen
erally by the Federal courts, two im
portant clauses of the National Con
stitution will be nullified by judicial
decree. One of these provides that a
person charged with crime in one
State who f'ees to another State shall
on demand be delivered up The other
says that full faith and credit shall be
given in each State to be public acts,
records and judicial proceedings of
every other State.
Under indictment for conspiracy to
escape from Matteawan, Thaw is a
fugitive to New Hampshire from New
York The Governor would have ex
tradited him, but his hand was stayed
by the assumption of jurisdiction by the
Federal court. To meet the proposit
ion that tbe prisoner was a dangerous
lunatic. Judge Aldrich appointed a
commission of his own, which, in con
flict with all New York authorities,
reported that he is sane and safe To
evade the new indictment for conspir
acy, the Judge holds that it is no crime
for an insane person to freo himself
from restraint. He therefore torbide
extradition.
By this amazing judgment every
thing that the ’accused Thaw money
has done in the way of bribery, bar-
retry, the bedevilment of the courts,
the corruption of public officials, the
intimidation of witnesses and the de
struction of professional reputations
seems to be sanctioned. The plot by
which Thaw brought his way out of
Matteawan was the culmination of
persistent criminality extending oyer
a period of years. To say that no
law was violated in that instance is to
applaud the triumph of money over
justice in the State of New York.
As a result of Judge Aldrich’s de
cision, the Supreme Court of the Un
ited States '^ill now be asked to admit
Thaw to bail and fix his legal status.

SOME DEMOCRAT MUSI
SAV^ THE OAYi
The following is a communication to
the Winston Journal from James H.
Holloway of Greensboro, N. C.
From present indications it looks
like the Democratic organization in the
Fifth Congressional District is going to
commit political suicide this fall by al
lowing Major Stedman to haye a re-
nomination. There seems to be no doubt
as to Mr. A. E. Holton's nomination by
the Republicans,’ and if St^man is his
opponent he (Stedman) will be wiped
off therface of the earth. The writer
firmly believes that Stedman’s nomina
tion will cost the Democrats of the
fifth District five thousand votes. They
would not necessarily have to vote the
Republican ticket, and probably would
not do so, but they will certainly re
frain from voting for Stedman.
Can you Democrats afford to take
such a risk just to please the Major
and Colonel “Bil” Osborne? How
about you gentlemen who were so
eager to enter the fight for the nomina
tion a short while ago? Why have you
so suddenly gt»tt^n cold feet? Is it pos
sible that Colonel “Bii” made you all
the same promise two years hence if
you would stay out of the field tnis
year and give the Major a clear track?
Surely vou do not think he «an deliver
the goods to all of you. So why not
strike now while the iron is hot.
There has been a vague rumor cur
rent to the above effect ever since Col-
onlel Osborne’s mysterious visit hMe
some time ago, and knowing his won
derful capacity for pouring oil on the
troubled waters so effectively, few peo*
pie doubt the truth of the rumor.
A deflection of only two thouaand
Democratic votes from last eleetion
would throw the Fifth Liatrict into ttie
Republican fold as surely as day fol
lows night. Holton is a strong man,
and he is also one of the most effective
stump speakers in North Carolina. Not
even his bitterest enemies will ques
tion his ability, for he has probably the
greatest record as district attorney of
any man in the United Statea today.
With this fact betore you will it not
be perfect folly to put up sucli a weak
ling as Stedman and allow the district
again to fall into the Republican col
umn It will simply be child's play.
Let’s analyze a little. In tbe first
place,"there are only four newspapers
in the district that will suppert Sted
man, and one of these is Republican,
and another is nondescript. Nobody
takes Colonel Fairbrother’e Everything
seriously, but they simply read it be
cause of the charming style the writer
has of expressing himself on every
subject under the sun. Not even
Coloner Roosevelt has a greater variety
of opinions on a wider r Ange of aubjecta
than has Colonel AL It is extremely
doubtful whether he knows himself
iust what his politics are. The writer
has never heard him accused of being a
Democrat, however. The support of
the Greensboro News, a Republican
paper certainly irill not be of any
material ^benefit to Stedman. The
Reidsville Review and the High Point
Enterprise neither has a very strong
influence in their respective com
munities by reason of their extrema
views and yindictive attitude towards
those whom they oppose
It is extremely doubtful whether
Stedman can. carry Alamaace coantr
by a majority of any respectable pro
portions, even without any opposition.
They just simply wi|l not vote for him.
Conditions are almost aa bad in Rock
ingham. His enemies are legion, and
they are not confined to any pfirt of the
district, they are in eyery country and
town in the district. Even in his 6wn
county he haa strong^ opposition, espec
ially so in High Point He appointed a
man postmaster there whom some of
the best people claim has not been a
regular Democrat, but has voted with
the Republicans in the not far distant
past. In Granville county his choice
for the Oxford postmaster was a kins
man of Colonel Osborne’s, and he made
this appointment over a very strong
petition for another man I who happen
ed to be a strong Simmons supporter.
With all the above facta in mind, it
ia the duty of some strong man to
come forwiird and take^the nomination
and win the fight this fall. Unlesa
they do so there will only be nine Dem
ocratic Congressmen from North Caro
lina next vear, for Stedman ia beaten
before be starta.
The above conclusions are baaed *n-
terely on a painataking canvaas of the
Fifth District covering almost two
months. ' Unless the Democrata of the
Fifth awake speedily to the trae State
of affairi the district will be lost to
them*

Chapel Hill News
Chapel Hill, April—Numerous and
varied are the inquiries mailed the Bu
reau of Extension of the University of
North Carolina frorn many sections of
the State. The people are taking ad
vantage of the sources of information
afforded by the State University thro-
ugh its extension agency, guidance in
educational affairs and enlightenment
on everyday subjects being sought
through this medium. The informat
ion bureau has lately received an in
quiry from a citizen of the State ask
ing for the names of the six most con
spicuous men of the world today. The
reasons why these world-citizens hold
euch loftiness in the minds of their
fellow men were asked to be stated.
These names and brief reasons for
their world-wide recognition were for
warded the inquisitive citizen: Wood
row Wilson, as president of the United
States and ranked as one of the nations
greatest executives; Bernard Shaw,
foremost In the world of letter for
reasons of his literary talents and
criticism; Andrew Carnegie, a man of
world business interests and whose
amassed wealth is being used in the
cause of world philanthropy; Lloyd
George, English statesman, whose
economic reforms for the benefit of
the average man have attracted world
attention; Thedore Roosevelt, whose
personality is so dynamic as to fix the
attention of all men, and John R. Mott
of the Student Volunteer Movement,
as an organizer of a world movement
for the evangelization of the world.
“Foods and Floolishness” was the
theme that Dr. Woods Hutchinson
noted physician, author, and lecturer,
presented to a University audience in
a lecture in Gerrard Hall last week.
Wholesome food and fresh air were
declared the tonicF and preventives of
the ills and diseases of the future
American citizens, while drugs and
trashy foodstuffs were rated as dan
gerous enemies to the welfare of health
Dr. Hutchinson asserted that the use
of drugs had fallen off enormously
lately in comparion with their use of
thirty years ago, the decrease being a
third percentage. Patent medicines
and breakfast foods were outlawed by
the distinguished American. He 'de
clared that the nutrition contained by
many patent medicines, proclaimed by
their manufacturers as restoratives of
broken health, represented little more
real value toward the upbuilding of a
person than eating a label on the bot
tle containing the medicine. The phy
sician's hostility to breakfast foods
was the negative sort, since he main
tained that they possessed little nutri
tive value, though not injurious.

Well, there is a political phariseeism
that is scarce less destructive and al
most as odious. It says, “I am more
patiiotic than you.” Mankind has been
plagued with this vermin throughout
the ages. It is the dagger and the
staff of the demagogue; it is the food
and raiment ot that political miscreant
whose citadel is ignorance and whoEo
breastwork is prejudice.
It pursued George Washington, and
the little fellows in the congress of
his day denounced him for surrender
ing to Great Britain just as our fried
meat set in this day charge Wood
row Wilson with sycophancy to the
same power. There is nothing new in
it. It is the virus that corrupted the
blood of polices in all ages. In all
climes, among all races.

Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale
said of youth at a tea in New Haven;
I find youth modest, almost oyermod-
est. I don't agree with the accepted
idea of youth that is epitomized in the
anecodote. According to this anecdotc
an old man said to a youth: “My boy,
when I was you» age I thought, like
you, that I knew it all, but I have
reached the conclusion that I know
nothing.’ The youth, lighting a cig
arette, answered carelessly, ’H’m!
I reached that conclusion about you
years ago.”—Chicago Herajd.
Let us put on nothing, and we shall
never cringe. Let us assume nothing
and we shall not be mortified. Noth

as the consciousness. “I am what I
pretend to be. About me there is no
make-believe.” — Anna Robertson

If it had not been for the late Joe
Caldwell, a newspaper that dared to
express a conviction contrary to that
put forth by the would be boss of
North Carolina journalism would have
to stand for a lot of abuse in this good
old SUte. The Charlotte Observer
may have its faults, but the public
ahould never forget that its independ
ence meant the emancipation of the
North Carolina press. The people of
the State never could have advanced
intellectually as they have without the
leadership of Mr. Caldwell. Ple-chase-
ra never will attempt to throttle public
opinion again in this State,
