GIVE HIM HIS TRAIN The New York Sun is proposing to give the president his own , train, a president's traiii, a United States train; that Is, to appropriate enough of the public money to enable our chief executive to -charter a special train whenever he wants to take a trip. That seems a good idea. As It is now, the president must either pay for his transportation otft of his own pocket, as we understand that Presi dent Roosevelt will do , on his coming trip south, or he must accept a favor from some railroad company, or sev eral of them o neach trip. That's not right. We don't pay our presidents enough to enable them to take many uch trips out of their own pockets after meeting the present-day heavy demands upon their private exche quers in the way of social entertain ment. Whether or not the incumbent of the office is possessed of a private ! fortune should not of course enter into : ba strled. It is dressed handsomely in the consideration for a moment. There ! neTV" tvPc n rules, nw borders In Is already far too much prevalence otjfat' a Scat many new and fresh the feeling that, in these days none!thla"s both from the macnanical and but a wealthy man can role of president. Away with am, Jof thing that might tend to further that thought. so much for the president paying his own traveling expenses. Now then, should he accept free transportation from the railroads? We think not by any means. In the first place it is not compatible with his dignity as the chosen executive of a great nation to feel that he is dependent upon the will of the railroad Wher b . . ..:rr: uppu&e Dy, vcuuiiitr concatenation of circum stances they were at some time to de cline to carry him free, and he did not have the ready cash at hand to pay his way, then we should have the spectacle of our president pain fully embarre 3sed. Of dourse, such a predicament is not likely to come to pass, but still the fact that is a pos- Bibillty should be enough to make us! see to it that it do not romain in the ! realm of the things ' 'that might be. I Courtesies extended are far pleasanter'j to receive than value for its equiva-I lent, hut i . ... yiuui iiuu aa me tender j of the courtesies is. sweeter, so is the denial of them more bitter. There is another thought underlying all this. While it is doubtless a very' beautiful theory that exa part of the people of the country, are only too glad to extend every pos sible courtesy to the man whose ex alted position is after all but their own gift, still it is nevertheless an undeniable fact -that the truest, most self-reapecting courtesies between man and man are those that do not par take even of the semblance of obliga tion. 1 : UNCLE SAM'S WAY The recent crime on the schooner Berwlnd, committed on the high seas, wherein it appears that several officers of the ship were murdered by a mu tinous crew, of whom three negroes are now in custody at "Wilmington, brings to the public notice the differ ence between the state courts and the United States courts in the handling of murder cases, for of course this crime, committed on the high seas, bs- I yond the jurisdiction of any state, on Inn ItnprlMn veafl r-nmps wifhin the I jurisdiction of the federal courts. The United States laws on the" con duct of murder trials are very simple by its finding of facts the innocence jv guilt of " the accused, but also fixes he punishment if the verdict is guilty the prisoner is guilty, but shall not suffer death, it only remains for the judge , to pronounce the life imprison- L m?T5t sentence. "1 his takes from the shoulders of the district attorney some of the responsi bility that the state solicitor must boar. and transfers it in part to the jury. It relieves the judge mightily, for he does not have to determine the length of the prison term, as doe the state judge in cases of second degree mur der or manslaughter. We are not exactly prepared to say that we consider the federal way better than our state laws, but we are ready right now to say that It Is our honest and deliberate opinion that there would be fewer killings if a man knew that, unless he could prove justification, he would either hang or go to the peni tentiary for life, that there was no chance of his getting off with five years, or two years. We think it would have a wonderful, effect in the develop ment of that great human power, self control. We are informed that there is no heat in the Murphey school building and that the chances are there will be none for another week, on account of the disarrangement or breakage of some of the apparatus. This is a deplorable state of affairs for a city like Raleigh.

That is vat! That makes our colleges breeding groimds of infidelity! Over against that one I put 101,000 Christian sons and daughters of bur colleges. My proof that cur colleges are vast breeding grounds of Christians is 10,000 times better than his. One is not "vast," Mr. Craven!

Col leges are to be judged not by the ex ceptions, but by the general run. What are the general run of college men doing in North Carolina? They are making the churches what, they are; they are our deacons, our teachers In Sunday school, our ministers, our leading laymen. All I ask of Mr. Craven is that he review his own facts; and If he is not indifferent to consecrated godliness he will take back his conclusions, drawn as every one must see from totally, from ridiculously inadequate data. He may not do much harm. But one can never tell whether a fellow is harmless or not. Here and there-some ignorant thoughtless parent might ac cept his dictum without thinking. Very truly yours, J. W. BAILrEY. Railroads and the South (The Journal and Tribune of Nash ville, Tenn.) If asked what has been the most potent factor in bringing the gratify ing progress made by the south in the last quarter of a century, what would be the answer. It might be that there has been a general awakening of the southern people to a rational consider ation of their own interests and that would be a good answer. It might be that following up this rational consid eration, the people of this section had been led to see the suicidal policy of selling all their raw material to other parts of the country, and to other countries, and buying it oacK m the shape of finished product. This would i also be the statement of a patent fact. But if called upon to point out the firm foundation, the prime cause, the . nas The presence of the railroads export trade of-the .country.

Such persons are ready to accept without investigation or question whatever any maMicrner of the roads and of their managers may say. We repeat what wefsaid at the out set: If there is any other part of the country that is more deeply interested in the fair treatment of the railroads than another, it is the south. In our neighbor stte of Georgia, there Is a ,m',0 .,- Z' , when in ofllce he will see to it that the p-ople of Geircia are no longer robbed by the railroads.
