AMERICAN BATTLESHIPS.
Another man has risen up to defend
the American battleships. Admiral
Capps says that ship for ship the
the American vessels are the equal of
any In the world. Comparing the
English battleship Dreadnaught, with
ten heavy guns, and the ; American
battleship South Carolina, with eight
bis Kuns. the admiral declares that
in action he had rather command the
8outh Carolina. :
Admiral Capps found some faults
with the United States warships, but
his comparison on the whole was fa
vorable to our ships. Everybody
knows that our little brush with Spain
was nothing more than a dress pa
rade, and, in view of the unfavorable
criticism of our navy by magazine
writers, It is good to hear an old war
dog say what he thinks.
There may be flaws In our vessels,
but like Adlmai Capps, we would pre
fer to risk them. ' They have proved
effective in the past, and will doubt
less continue to take care of them
selves. ..
THE DEATH OF A MARTYR.
The death of Father Leo Helnrlchs
In Denver was the death of a martyr,
says the Charleston News and Cour-
. ler, discussing the assassination of the
priest. Generally, continues our
Charleston contemporay, "the anarch
ist' has struck against kings and other
temporal, powers. His desecration of
tne sanctuary to commit felony Is a
lesson that no restraint known to the
human heart stands between him and
hS deadly enmity to humanity

celved. When the anarchist strikes

and hopeless.
Whatever may be the strength of in
fidelity and so-called liberal thinking
In a materialistic ago, the human race
is as far today as it has ever been from
the thought that It can survive with
out the acknowledgement of God."
Secretary Taft's manager has an
nounced that the labor leaders of Ten
nessee are for the big secretary. They
may be, but what good will it do the
big secretary for Tennessee labor men
to be for him? It might do him as
much good, though, as It does Bryan
democrats to hear that Maine will send
a solid delegation,
The paragrapher of the Charleston
News and Courier says that "the Den-
ver convention hall Is said to be one

distance will not be a serious obstacle
to the Georgia delegation.

on their part to keep up

"By . the existence of a doubtful
south in place of the hitherto solid
one, four changes are the inevitable
in the political situation of the future
"First, a dimlnlshment of the pres
tige long enjoyed by New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiana at
national conventions 1 is plvotlcal
states. They will have to share this
with some of the southern ones In the
future.
"Second, .the reply of that section to
the solid south.
"Third, greater influence of the
southern states in the councils of both
parties, one that ought to prove ben
eficial in character; and, '.
"Finally, the breaking down of ill
barriers which since the close of the
civil war have prevented men from
the south being candidates on the na
tional tickets of both parties.
"An answer to the question whether
the solid south has really become the
doubtful south involves a consideration
of the republican party in that sec
tion, and more especially whether it
has now made Itself acceptable to the
great mass of voters there who sup
ported the democratic ticket at the
polls In the past merely as a protest
against the manner in which the op
position party was conducted. This ?s
the purpose of the present article.
Continuing:
"Presumably existing to dispute
control with the democrats, the repub
lican organisations in most of the sec
tions of the south have been content
to allow election after election to go
by default. This perhaps v. as as in
strumental in keeping the democrats
In power as anything else. The local
republican leaders were satisfied with
the merect skeleton of a party, not
designed to keep alive before the vot
ers republican principles and policies,
but rather as a basis to the claim for
federal patronage In their sections.
Small wonder, therefore, that Secre
tary Taft said in his Greensboro,
North Carolina, speech, It would be
better for the republican party In the
south if federal offices were filled by
democrats."
We are chiefly concerned, however,
with what this writer has to say of
republicans in North Carolina:
"The situation mentioned exists In
Virginia at the present day. The im
pression prevails there among the peo
ple of all parties that no real desire
exists on part of a majority of the re
publican leaders to make a showing
at the polls excepting In the ninth
congressional district. Their real ob
ject Is to keep the republican party
a close corporation for use In the dis
tribution i of federal oOVes. As one
rums It up, the larger the coterie, the
longer the division. Republicanism
suffers In North Carolina from much
the same cause. There are more vot
ers In the .western part of the state
whose principles elan toward the party
as they are understood than go to the
polls. The claim is made that North
Carolina has 87,000 white, republicans,
though at the last congressional elec
tion the party vote was but 67,000. The
cause of this apathy Is very simple:
the dissensions among state and local
leaders over the distribution of fed
eral patronage. Their quarrels on the
subject are constant. It Is not to bo
Inferred, however, that the entire re
publican leadership of that state i
based on the foundation of federal pa
tionage. This would be unjust to
some of the men there who write and
talk for the party principles, though
they refuse to have anything to do
with the organization so long as it
means a squabble for office and noth
ing more."
After discussing conditions In Ten
nessee and Missouri the writer come
back to Virginia and North Carolina
and Is found saying:
"The republican stronghold In Vir
ginia is In the southwestern part, ths
mountainous section of the state, lying
next to southern west Virginia, east
ern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, and
the western part of North Carolina,
this territory forming the ninth con
gressional district. The better classei
of the native population are over
whelmingly democratic. The republi
cans are mainly from the element
which furnished Union soldiers during
the civil war. This class has always
been opposed to what It terms tha
aristocracy, especially of eastern Vir
ginia, and hatred, it is charged, plays
some part in Its vote. The republican
strength in North Carolina, the same
as in Virginia lies also In the moun
tainous section of the state. The unlor.
spirit prevailed here In 1860 because
there were few negro slaves, and tha
people at that time were opposed to
the dominant eleemnt of the state.
The bulk of this vote is white. Theie
republicans stand as well socially as
the democrats, but in the east there
is, practically speaking, no such thlnd
as a decent white republican."
At this point Mr. Llssner is a little
confusing. Does his last sentence re
fer to eastern Virginia or eastern
North Carolina? The former, we hope.
As a matter of fact there are quite n
number of "decent" white republican
In eastern Carolina.
Here Is a rather startling paragraph;
"The character of republican leader
ship throughout the doubtful south Is
no better or worse than the demo
cratic. It may be said that the old re
construction type of leader has be
come extinct For those unfamiliar
with conditions in the south, it Is only
fair t add that the republican lead
ers of today are all white. The day
of the negro boss has also passed."
Mr. Llssner's reference here is to
his "doubtful" south; if it were to his
"debatable" we should feel constrain
ed to enter an emphatic protest. To
return:
"Marlon Butler, former United States
senator, who now lives in Washing
ton, claims to be boss of his party in
North Carolina. Its other leaders are
Jeter C. Prltchard, United States dis
trict judge of the western district; his
son-in-law, State Chairman Thomas
R. Rollins, of Ashevllle; Judge A. Q.
Adams, of Greensboro; 'Thomas W.
Settle, a leading member of the Ashe
vllle bar,' whose pamphlet on his party
in the south attracted much attention
some months ago, and Walter A.
Htldebrand, editor of The Industrial
News Greensboro." , '- . j '
Judge Prltchard is not of th district
court but of the United States circuit
court. Three of the names above are

"The president has favored both fac
tions at different times in North Caro
lina, and each has set up the claim of
his resperesentatlve. Both have car
ried on a spirited contest to win his
favor by shouting .loudly for him.
There is nothing, however, on which
an opinion may be based as to whether
Mr. Roosevelt has been a factor in the
present condition of his party in that
state. There is no doubt, though, that
If the president had been Inclined to
lend more of his influence to those re
publicans already mentioned who are
members of the party for the sake of
principle," . It , would be better off.
"The negro is not a great fac

olina, though his vote is accepted on
election day;wheriever he can qualify,
The colored 'Vote in the western coun
ties is hardly enough tb count The
only election carried for the republl
cans in recent years have been entire
ly through the white vote. There was
a strong effort for years on part of
the better element of the party to
break away from the negro, and when
the constitutional convention was call
ed, mainly for the purpose of disfran
chising him, the white republicans in
the western part of the state declared
their acquiescence on the ground that
they wished to build up a white party
in the state."
The statement that the only elec
tions carried by the republicans of
North Carolina has been by the white
vote is erroneous. .The period of Pop-
ulist-republlcan-fuslon dominance was
anterior to the adoption of the amend
ment. There was no convention to
adopt It but it was submitted by the
legislature to the people and by tnem
ratified.
Mr. Llssner finds little tariff senti
ment of any character In North Caro
linalittle either pro or ant I. .
His general conclusion, after a sep
arate review of the field in each of
the states named above is that "there
is no doubt that the present occupant
of the white house has failed to exert
all the Influence for goed which he
might have, and In consequence the
solid south is not so near being broken
up as it should be." In the opinion
that It Is not near being broken up he

That paroled convict who begged
to be sent back to prison because he
could not bear the jerrlng cries of
Jailbird!" with which the world
greoted him has tasted the dregs In
his cup of punishment. The brand
of his crime was upon him, and he
could not escape it. He was paroled
to lead an honest life and given hon
est work to do but the honest men
about him, who had neTor been in
prison, taunted him with his shame.
He was given no peace by day or
night, no rest from the barbed

It is a regrettable marginal com
ment upon the pages of our modern
history. The world is growing bet
ter, we say; it is becoming more vir
tuous. This is not worth much, un
less it Is growing more kindly also.
History is full of the records of peo
ple whose virtues were their highest
pride, but who burned heretics at
the stake. Cultured, virtuous, moral
and self-righteous those people might
have been, but at heart they were
savages none the less. Are the hon
est men who taunted the paroled
convict with his prison stripes less
savage?
It Is crnel, It is merciless, to hold
up to them the mirror of their
crimes. We cannot blame them if
they become only Worse criminals,
then, and prey like wild beasts upon
the society which has scorned them.
The dominant note of the twentieth
century is co-operation In Industries
and in governments; it should be so
with Individual relations. But it is
not the strong who need the help of
the strong. It is the weak, the ex

who will life themselves out of the
gutter if only a helping hand Is
reached down to them.
Fat is An Offense.
"The female form being capable
of expressing a supreme degree of

an enemy to the artistic uplift, for
she Is entirely too heavy-for any
