TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1904.
-The editor of The Commoner was

ference last wek in New York.
We've nothing but kind words and
sympathy for those who were defeated,
and those who were successful are
feeling all right any way. v
While the Jap authorities are figur
ing on the cost of the war the tax
payers may begin to calculate the
stunts expected of them a little later
on. '
Adventurers are said to be flocking
to Panama. Noting that statement
the Florida TSmes-Untfon" says: "A
new word for the great American
grafter."
Another recruit for the Statesboro
band wagon is Huntsville, Ala. It is
time for all such occupations to wake
up and unharness the nightmare they
are driving.
Some of the newspapers are suggest
ing that straw hats and oysters don't
go well together. That ought not to
trouble you, brethren. The polite trick,
is to take oft! your hat when you cat.
It looks like the Russian emperor
has lost his head. The idea of Issuing
peremptory orders to his troops to re
take Liao Yang sounds like he ought
to be sent to the bug-house for re
pairs. If all the editors who went to Rose
mount will convince all their readers
that . Mr. Parker is the right man for
president as thoroughly as he convinced
the editors It will mean much on elec-.
tion day.
The stunts performed by Kurokl the
past two weeks on the eastern war
map have outstarred the recent feats
of Togo, and it Is now up to Togo
to go to work and (keep pace -with
his land lubber ally.
; Here's a chunk of truth from Puck:
"You needn't expect the world to give
you much of a chow unless you are
prepared to pay the price of admis

fellow Tvith the complimentary ticket
Is often a poor judge, anyhow.
The name of Grover Cleveland was
the signal for the greatest applause
produced at the editorial confer
and banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria
m New York last week. No use talk

of magic before a real thinking Demo
cratic audience.
In the recent army maneuvers at

JOSEPH PULITZER'S LETTER
The letter written by Joseph Pulltier
and read at the editorial conference in
New - York last Wednesday evening if
worthy of being read and carefully
meditated upon. It was greeted with
much enthusiasm. The last paragraph
contains a personal appeal to Mr. Par
ker to rid himself of small politicians
and take his place as the real , party
leader in the present campaign! This
letter was addressed to Chairman Dan
iels and is as follows: : .
-My Dear Sir: Accept my thanks for
your urgent invitation to speak to my
brother editors of the Democratic faith
upon the issues and duties of the presi
dential campaign.
, It would give, me great pleasure to
be with you, but physical infirmities
forbid. You meet as the representa
tives and instruments of publicity, the
greatest moral force. No other body
of men can do' so much in this cam
paign for truth and publicity as the
independent and Democratic editors of
the country.1 I firmly believe that this
year the Democracy has the truth and
the right art ;its side, and that if suffi
cient publicity; shall be given to the
trutn ana eo senous misiaices are maoo
in the campaign at vital points, Judge
Parker will lb "elected. '
The result in "Vermont reported to
day should be -accepted as a warning1.
not as a discouragement. Remember
that the largest total vote ever cast in
Vermont is only fifty-six thousand,
about one-tenth of the vote of New
York City alone. The Democratic vote
is usually ten or twelve thousand and
was never more than twenty thousand,
which is less than the'Democratic vote
in single w,ards in New York. It is
absurd to suppose that the result of
the presidential election is decided, or
even foreshadowed, in the fastnesses
and farms of the little Green Mduntaln
State. The contest is to be fought out
in New York, the Empire State, whose
habit it is to vote independently: In
the rich and populous industrial cities
of Connecticut and New Jersey, on the
wide plains and in the bu- marts of
Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois, and
in the doubtful states of the farther
west. There are signs of a reaction
against protection, privilege and plu
tocracy; against personal government,
militarism, extravagance and the po
litical power of the trust.- Mr. Roose
velt's weakness as a candidate In his
own state has been demonstrated at
every election. Should he carry the
country in November, as it is possible
that he may, the adverse vote of New
York would serve as a salutary check
on his usurpation of power, and no
effort should be spared to secure this
result. The lesson of the Vermont
election is that the independents and
the Democrats must work with in
creased vigor and under la more thor
ough system. Truth may be self-evi
dent, but it Is not self-enforcing. Truth
is mighty,' but it will not prevail with
out all the aids of publicity. Truth
must be proclaimed, illustrated, estab
lished, enforced. Most important of
all, truth must have a leader.
The result of the Vermont election
makes it, inmy judgment, all the more
imperative that' Judge Parker shall
realize and perform his duty to the
millions of honest voters who seek no
office, look for no personal gain in this
election, but Who see in him an ideal
and a hope, and aspire to preserve
through him the institutions they love;
The people need a judicial chief magls-
trate.'but not too judicial a candidate
The Judge is trained to look at both
sides of ,a case; the candidate should
have his hands full in looking after his
own. From the judge is expected cau
tious deliberation; from the candidate
inspiration, energy, promptness and
aggressive impulse. It Is the part of
a leader to lead In the combat of Ideas,
in the conflict of principles. In the de
nunciation of - public wrongs. In the
presentation and enforcement of truth.
It is because I so strongly desiro
Judge Parker's election that I speak
so plainly on this subject. I admire
his judicial temperament. I appreciate
the great personal sacrifices he has
made in accepting the nomination.
But, haying accepted it, I earnestly
beg of you, when you see him tomor
row at Esopus, to urge that he accept
alfo the full responsibilities of his po
sition; that he will not permit the cam
paign in New York the pivotal state
to be mismanaged by the small politi
cians who beset him; that he will in
the next sixty days be even more than
heretofore the people's leader and
teacher, their tribune and advocate.
COLONEL HENRY WATTERSON.
Here's aw-ad of silly looking stuff
from the Maiden Evening News, a pa-
P,er supposed to be printed somewhere
1n Massachusetts, though the date
line doesn't mention it:
Henry Watterson who attacked
President Roosevelt so bitterly at the
Waldorf dinner in New York isn't
rated as one of the great and success
ful newspaper men of the land; though
he has . a capacity for flre eating edi
torials that flash with pedantry. Wat
terson,, after a life time at journalism,
doesn't, own his paper nor a controll
ing interest in it. Of the three dailies
in Louisville, Watterson's, the Cour
ier-Journal, has the smallest circula
tion. There are a -dozen papers right
here In Massachussetts, outside of Bos
ton, that, have circulations larger than
the t paper that employs Watterson.
The old man Is a sort of a curiosity
because he is the last of the old school
of. warlike-editors:- If the rest of them
were alive today we shouldn't hear so
FOR TORPID LIVER.
. A torpid liver deranges the wboU
system, and produces
SICK HEADACHE,.
Dyspepsia, Costrveness, Rheu
matism, Sallow Skin and Plies.
There Is no better remedy for those
common diseases than DR. TUTT'S
. .LIVER PILLS, as a trial will prove.
Take No Substitute.
Itfsli
touch wmfodoralo eolonoLTJty
wore all Wgger men tfcaa ho. WhAt
he says about the Frtllfent f of the
United States amounts to but very llt
tlo anyhow. v ., V -
What boots It if Henry iWatterson
doesn't own his paper? And suppose
there are other papers In - Louisville
with larger circulations, how does that
effect Colonel Watterson's right to say
things or his standing as a moulder of
thought? The colonel is getting along
In years now. and has been Jumped on
many times by small fry, but he keeps
right on thinking, writing and talking,
always saying things with pith and
point In them.
We are told that Colonel Watterson
is a "sort of Curiosity because he Is
the last of the old school of warlike
editors," and that "if the rest of them
were alive today we shouldn't hear so
much of' the confederate colonel." The
last of them, eh? Well If he is, more's
the pity, because most of them were
warlike enough to fight at the drop
of a hat if a . mater of principle was
Involved.
This is not written for the purpose
of defending WatterBon he is able
to take care of himself anywhere but
as a rebuke to the spiteful, sectional
spirit which is behind such silly at
tacks as yiat made by the small scrib
bler who -scribbled the foregoing quo
tation
PRCS jt EftT ROOSEVELT'S ACCEPTANCE
President Roosevelt's letter of accept
ance has been given to the public. It
is a wordy document, yet vigorous and
strenuous all the way, through. It
bears the distinct "'Roosevelt stamp,
and Is strong on the stand-pat policy
of his party. It is well written from
a literary standpoint and running all
the way through tl is a vein of confi
dence in the result, showing that he ex
pects to beelected.
Whatever else may be said of the Re
publican candidate for president, there
Is no evidence in his letter of accept
ance that he is dodging any of the
positions his party has taken or any
policy he has himself inaugurated
since he has been: in office. Mr. Roose
velt exhibits aggressiveness and bold
ness in a degree that seems excessive,
If indeed it may not be properly term
ed vicious. The letter is not calcu
lated to change the opinion of any who
have already decided that he is not
the proper man for president.
Just think of a mob In the Quaker
City of rock-ribbed Republican Penn
sylvania trying to lynch a negro. It's
too horrible.

Memorial Service
Durham, N. C Sept. 12. Special.
The Craven Memorial Hall at Trinity
Park was packed yesterday morning
with a vast throng that gathered to
pay a last tribute of respect to the
memory of the late Prof. J. F. Bivlns,
who one week ago fell from a train
on the Seaboard road and was killed.
The memorial service was conducted
by President J. C. Kilgo, who delivered
a eulogy on the life of the deceased.
It Is estimated that twelve hundred
people were present on that occasion.
This service took the place' of the regu
lar opening sermon, . and Dr. Kilgo
took occasion to hold up ; the life of
the deceased as a worthy example to
the students now in the college. He
referred to the time ten years ago
when he preached his first opening
sermon to the students of the college
and at that time Prof. Bivins was a
freshman and heard, the first sermon.
"We miss him today. We miss his
happy face and his magnificent erect
form." "Today his Alma, Mater stands
by his grave and holds up his life as
an example to others.' "Joseph Biv
ins had his creed. It was a high creed
and to it he was always obedient. His
reach of thought, his strength and
vigor of character told of the man. His
was a high life lived on a high plane."
These were some of . the tributes paid
to his memory by the speaker.
Dr. Edwin Mlms read a lengthy reso
lution passed by the' faculty in which
tributes were paid to the life and
character of the young educator. He
was raferrsd to as one of the leading

130 CLUE YET
Negro Who . Stabbed Young
Whito Woman Not Taken
AsheyiU N. C, Sept. 12. Special.
The police have so far failed to And a
Clue that will lead to the apprehension
of the negro who Saturday evening so
villainously assaulted Miss Ida Bias, a
vnun? wnmin nf this rit-v. with a knife
while on her way home from work. The
young woman says that she would not
be able to identify her assailant should
she see him again; that all she saw of
the man was that he was large and a
negro. The affair created considerable
talk on the streets here Saturday night
and had -he been captured that night
there would probably have been trouble.
The boldness of the attack and without
cause so far as known has puzzled the
police, j The knife used by the negro
was e-iJently a small one as the blade
penetrated only a short distance and
not sufficiently far to cause any serious
results. The blow that the man strucK i
when he stabbed Miss Bias was of suf
ficient force to knock her to the pave
ment and she was not aware that she
had been cut until after reaching a
nearby house. Miss Bias had been in
the employ of the Swannanoa Steam
Laundry for the past several years and
Proprietor Brown today said that there
was not a more modest and retiring
young woman in Asheville than she;
that she was a? person of high character
and the only theory assigned f or the
assault is that the negro contemplated
robbery and lost his nerve or that he
was mean drunk. A reward has been
offered for the negro's capture, dui
there Is little hppe of the man being
taken.
ANOTHER SUIT
-r - 0)
Private Johnson's Father to
Sue A. & N. C
Durham. N. C, Sept. 12. Special.
There Is to be another suit against the
Atlantic and North Carolina road on
account of the accident that befell the
soldiers near Goldsboro while they were
returning from Camp Lee. The pre
liminary steps were taken this morning.
The father of George H. Johnson, one
of the deceased soldiers, qualified as
administrator and was then allowed by
the clerk to sue as a pauper. The pa
pers have not been filed as yet and the
amount to be asked for could not be
learned this afternoon. -
This is the second suit on account of
the killing of two soldiers and wound
ing of two others. A short while ago a
suit was brought on account of the
death of J. Bun Warren, and now the
second suit follows. It is said that the
two men who were wounded will also
sue for the damages they sustained.4
Both of the suits already brought will
be docketed at the approaching term of
superior court which will convene next
month. 1 i ;
EVIDENCE ALL IN
Judge Montgomery Opens
Argument in White Trial
Salisbury. N. C Sept. 12. Special.
The evidence in the White brothers'
murder trial, which has been in prog
ress here since last Thursday, was con
cluded today when argument by the
counsel began. The opening speech
was made by Judge Montgomery of
Concord, for the defense, who laid down
the law In the case. He was followed1
by T. C. Linn, Esq., of Salisbury, of
counsel for the state. Others who will
oDkiik fnr ho rtotenne are Senator Lee
S. Overman and Hon. C. B. Watson
of Winston-Salem. Capt. R. B. Glenn
will close the argument in behalf of
the" state. A verdict is not expected
before Wednesday.
The trial of the White brothrs has
attracted perhaps more attention and
larger crowds than any murder case
heard in this section of the state for
ten years. All parties connected with
the case on either side are prominent
and well known in this part of North
Carolina.
