AGAINST THE ALDERMEN
According to the decision of Judge
Justice in the mandamus case yester
day, the board of aldermen were wrong
in refusing to call an election on the
whiskey question in this city upon the
petition presented. It has' been clear
to our mind all along that the alder
men did not have the power to amend
the laws passed by the general assem
bly, and in spite of the elasticity of
the English language as it is often
constructed, that they could not, in
this case, give an entirely new mean
ing to it.
The decision of the court is a corn
et p. vindication of City Attorney
Snow, who advised the board of alder
men against the course pursued. That
he was right The Post has not enter
tained the slightest doubht. The prop
ositidn"was so plain that it seemed to
us the average mind could easily grasp
It. The law is in plain language, and
it is simply a question of whether or
.not it means what it says.
We did not, and do not now, favor
the calling of the election, but we do
favor the execution of the provisions
of law when the conditions are m?t.
The conditions have been complied
with' in this case, and it should be
called however much we disagree with
those who signed the petition for it.
Th,e action of Judge Justice is in ac
cordance with the law and common

A REMARKABLE SUGGESTION
One of the most remarkable sugges
tion we have ever heard was made a
few days ago by the Goldsboro Argus.
In the course of a roast that paper
was giving a show that appeared there
the night before, the Argus said:
This show (?) was booked for the
Messenger Opera House by Klaw' &
Erlanger of New York, who are sup
posed to be reputable theatrical man
agers and send out only first-class at
tractions, consequently the managers
of the Messenger Opera House are not
directly responsible for the imposition
upon the 'Goldsboro public of "Reuben
in New York," which is absolutely'' a
disgrace to any boards and should be
suppressed by law in fact, the Argus
has before suggested the enactment of
a law prohibiting or indicting railroads
for hauling such through the state, as
th,e surest means of protecting an un
sophisticated public from such repre
hensible theatrical combinations.
The management of the Messenger
Opera House greatly regret that Klaw
& Erlanger subjected them and the
theater patrons of the city to such an
imposition as "Reuben in New York
Regrets, merely, are expressed that
Klaw & Erlanger sent out a bum show;
but the railroads should be Indicted
for hauling the aggregation! There Is
not a word of criticism for the man
agement of the opera house, whose
business and duty It is to see that pat--
rons of the house are not Imposed
upon. There is no suggestion that it
would be well for the opera house
management to investigate the merits
of so-called attractions, and see that
all with whom contracts are made are
worthy of the patronage of the people;
but the railroads should be held re
sponsible, they should investigate all
the theatrical combinations on the
road and ascertain whether or not they
are "reprehensible" and refuse to haul
any against which the people of any
community might possibly have a kick.
Let the schemers and the impostors go
ahead and prepare to rob the people,
let them make contracts with the local
managers of play-houses, and then in
dict "the railroad If it brings the show
to town!

a campaign got hot, as if our very
national existence depended upon a
single election and I wasn't lying
either, for, I vow, I felt as if it did."
"No better illustration has been given
in many a day, says the Boston Travel
er, of the ridiculous lengths to which
campaign exaggerations will carry a
man than the testimony given in tho
New York Life investigation by Presi
dent McCall, which evoked the ap
plause of the audience. 'When they
adopted ths free silver platform,' he
said, 'I determined that I would do all
in my power to defeat that candidate
and that platform. I had a duty and
a trust. If Bryan was to be elected
president I felt that we might almost
as well put up our shutters. I did
what I did to defeat . free silver, not
the Democratic party. I thank God I
did it.' And then, when Mr. Hughes
plied him further with regard to this
contribution to 'the Republican cam
's
paign fund Mr.. McCall remonstrated:
'I hate to have you characterize that
money as a Republican campaign con
tribution. It was given in behalf of
the gold standard.' "
There is good reason to doubt Mr.
McCall's sincerity in regard to this
transaction of 1904, but If he really
believed that he rendered a great ser
vice not only to his company but to
his country by his act, he was aiding
the development of a system of politi
cal corruption that is far more danger
ous to the permanent soundness of a
state and of all the institutions wnicn
depend not only for their prosperity
but for their very .existence on the
soundness of the state, than all the
financial heresies that have ever been
conceived by the erratic minds of men.
Parties are useful, necessary even,
to the proper operation of a govern
ment like ours. But the permanence
of that government does not, and, in
the nature of things, cannot depend
on the success of a given party in a
given campaign. We are a nation of
patriots. And while this party or that
party may, with the best of intentions,
tie up temporarily to this? or that eco
nomic or political heresy and even rids
to success at the polls ": upon it, the
mistakes cannot be irretrievable so long
as the hearts of the ; people are right
and the popular will is honestly; ex
pressed. Only the permanent triumph
Of corruption among all classes of the
people would be irretrievable and that,
God helping us, shall never be.
"A Doll House" was the name of a
theatrical attraction which recently
started out, but the name was too
suggestive, at least the houses it drew
were in keeping with it, and the con
cern disbanded and went home.

tor, Mr. Tillman, recently said: "Any
body can sign a petition, even a free

People can better be convinced of
conditions, if they are brought into
touch with the material results grow
ing out -of them. The land and Indus
trial department of the Southern Rail
way, realizing this, has been exhibit
ing for several weeks at fairs in the
northern and western states a collec
tion of products from the territory tra
versed by its lines. These exhibits
have attracted marked attention, and
have been the means of informing
thousands of people of the opportuni
ties offered by the south to the farmer,
stock-raiser, manufacturer, etc. Print
ed matter descriptive of lands and
business openings of all kinds along
the Southern Railway has been dis
tributed from these exhibits amons
people earnestly seeking information
concerning the resources of the south
and the advantages offered. Among
the various products displayed were
some fine specimens of apples, the su
periority of which is shown by the fol
lowing: :
New York State Fair,
' Syracuse, N. Y.
In recognition of the fact that the
apples exhibited by Mr. J. E. Hall of
Waynesville, N. C, and the Stuart Or
chard Company, Stuart, Va., In the
Southern Railway exhibit arrived too
late to enter for award, we wish to
express the opinion that these apples
are the finest specimens exhibited at
the New York State Fair, and had
they been properly entered, .would have
received the highest award.

To appreciate the force of the above,
it should be borne in mind that the
region surrounding Syracuse is one of
the 'oldest and most important apple
producing sections in the United States.
Senator Tillman said:" "That hell
bound in Columbia who is editor of the

manhood no longer can be a home pro

discussion so familiar that the details j chemist, complaining that his throat

the advocate of another belief may not , Titbits;
be able to grasp. One may reach ms
goal, thus vindicating his theory, and
not be near the other goal, where his
opponent already rests, serene in the
consciousness of triumph.
However, Professor Butler's elimina
tion of the so-called "self-made" man
must be attended with difficulties. The
man is likely to remain and hold to his
non-collegiate degree. The assertion
that this man succeeds by reason of
superior ability suggests no dissent. In
countless array might be summoned
examples sustaining it. His career does
not seem to depend upon hi3 genesis or
environments. He is created with that
in him which carries him farther and
faster than his fellows can go; and be
cause, without external advantages, he
goes farther and faster, he is classified
as "self-made." The injustice of this is
in the notion it causes that the person
who develops into a central figure in
any field of endeavor has depended
upon a process known as "self -making,"
and has not been actuated and
borne along by inborn qualities. The
secret Is not mere Industry, although
some who have reaped their reward in
profit and praise really take such view.
Edison is the incarnation of industry,
but in this he is one of an unnumbered
throng of toilers. He also is a genius.
In this he stands alone, or at least
notable in a small group. He could not
have risen to the place he occupies by
virtue of any teacher's instructions, nor
could he have risen through the uplift
of mere application, or there would be
nothing strange or solitary in his
status.
The man who Is labeled "self-made,"
elate in possession of the title,' has been
misjudged and misnamed. The title
simply is that tagged to any Individual
of mark, indicating to the critical ob
server nothing more than that the in
dividual essayed to do something, and,
because blessed with peculiar adapta
bility for the task, accomplished the
end sought. With a different mental
equipment he never would have
thought of the plan, or his efforts
would have been futile. He thought
from an impulse as natural as that
which caused him to breathe, and he
wrought because the passion for labor
was among his gifts, and a strong arm
or cunning hand was ready to heed the
mandate of his intelligence. Perhaps,
however, to the end of time it will be
termed "self-made," and Accept the
characterization with a modest convic
tion that he merits It.

Stop Corrupt Practice
(Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
Defenders of corruption in politics
will be branded as corruptionlsts by
the public, regardless of their station.
It has been learned that sdme of the
men who have great financial trusts,
and who have professed great interest
in the welfare of the country, are be
low the level of the common thief and
embezzler, and there is nothing now
that will protect any man if his ras
calities should be discovered. Having
learned that a thief may be called a
thief, the general public is not in
clined to mince matters, and would
go after a president of the United
States as readily as they would go
after the janitor of an office building.
If there should be any further attempt
to buy or steal the presidency and the
j matter sh.mld be discovered, the origi
nators of the plan would be likely tq
have personal regrets.
