YESTERDAY'S C1KCTLATIOX, 5,005. Here's to the knocker. May his tribe decrease. If there is an indi vidual under high Heaven totally un worthy of the consideration of decent people, a menace to progress and the foe of peace, entirely lacking in nil those qualities that go to make the human being lovable and helpful, it is the malicious knocker. Raleigh has a few of the class and in the new era that has Just dawned she has no place for them. Sit down on 'em! "Eternal vigilance is the price, of liberty." Raleigh has just won a great victory. She has freed herself from bondage. She has swept into oblivion her oppressors and a future of vast possibilities looms up before her. Will she rise to her opportun ity? If she would attain to the high est, free Raleigh must not forget Raleigh enslaved. The tyrants she .has dethroned are not dead. They will rise again. Remember: "Eter nal vigilance is the price of liberty." "An admirajftle trait of those Char lotte papers is that however far apart they may be on other ques tions,,, when anything touches the in terest of their- Home town they drop all differences and every man in their midst who ' does things becomes a king. It Is asplendid spirit worthy of emulation. ralisbury Post. To the abovSaralrably expressed fact is due Charlotte's high position among her sister cities today. The get-together spirit has made Char lotte what she Is. It has given her the best streets of any city in the state, the best hotels, a fine audito rium, sky-scrapers, etc. , aud is f.tsi making Charlotte the best-known jujaoutactuxing centre of the south. Commenting on the retirement of Dr. ft. H. Lewis from the secretary ship of the state board of health the Salisbury Evening Post says: "Dr. Lewis' retirement as secretary of the board is a distinct loss to the state. He is really the father of this board, having brought it up to a high standard' of efficiency. .His work has been tangefy Unselfish, for the re muneration tjrwjved by the secretary is insignificant. Tit is regrettable that Dr. Lewis feels constrained to re linquish this work through which he was rendering . the state such valu able service."', J;' Dr. Lewis has 1 done great thins? for his state. 'VTo bim is due much f the legislation 'for the protection of health in North Carolina now on our statute books. He has labored faith fully, receiving but little remunera tion, and has really accomplished wonders. The last legislature passed an act requiring all the time of the secretary of the board, and Dr. Lewis could not afford to give up his prac tice to continue the work. His successor has been selected. He is young Dr. Watson S. Han kin; dean of the Wake Forest School or Medicine. Dr. Rankin Is a ' young man of a high order of ability, ener getic and capable, and will make a worthy successor of Dr. Lewis. With yesterday's issue the New Bern Journal entered upon its twenty-eighth year as a daily paper. Twenty-eight years is a long time in the life of a newspaper especially In the life of a southern newspaper, for the pathway of a newspaper in the south is beset with many difficul ties.'' The story of the small daily may usually be classed with the "short and simple annals of the poor." This is the way Editor Stevens tells the story: "That these years have been full of work, anxiety, hardship and meager recompense for Its editors, needs no detail in the telling. There has been simply the spirit of local pride that has kept most of the Journal's own ers at the desk, grinding out an exist ence of poor returns, in a material way. And yet looking backward, no citizen of New Bern will deny that thoBe who conducted the Journal ' through years of leanness, when the commnnlty was in need of a spirit of optimism, that the Journal was on SUBSCRIPTION RATES: (In Advance) By Hall or Carrier. One copy one year . . . . 6.00 One copy three months . . 1.25 One copy one month . . . .15 One copy one week ... . .10 Entered through Raleigh, N. C, postofflce as mall matter of the second class, In accordance with the Act of Congreu. March I, 1879. hand to poiat the way to better times, and to give encouragement and per suade the down-hearted to take hold again." The Journal has ever been faithful tojhe interests' of New Bern. It has protected the morals of its people, watched' qver their liberties, fostered civie pride and. represented at all times New Bern's best interests. The Journal richly deserves at the hands of the people whom it has served so well the plaudit, "Well done, sood and faithful servant." Jlay The Journal survive many generations, increasing in prestige and usefulness as the years go by. WANTED A HOTEb. Now that the big auditorium Is a certainty it is up to the good busi ness men of the city to get in behind that hotel proposition; The audito rium will be worth but little to the city without adequate hotel facilities. If Raleigh is to entertain the conven tions of the future it is absolutely necessary that hotels be provided for the accommodation of visitors and delegates. When Raleigh can say to the peo ple of the state that she has an audi torium equal to the best of them, and that she has also hotels sufficient to accommodate tho hosts that gather at democratic state conventions, for instance, she will become the conven tion city of the state. Raleigh has everything else on her side. Cen trally located, . .with first-class rail way facilities, she has nothing to fear in the way of competition from her sister cities. . Cnni-kirn has the hotels, but the' Gale City is too far west and besides it has no-.auditorium.- To be sure it has a. big cily block covered with-. 'a sheet-iron mpnstrosity, but by the wildest stretch of the imagination the crazy structure could not be called an auditorium. Charlotte has the ho tels and the auditorium, but Charlotte is also too far removed from the cen tre of the state, and It will be dead easy for Raleigh to take the big con ventions away from both of these enterprising cities. Earnest men are at work on the proposition, and it is to be hoped the necessary capital can be raised. The future of Raleigh is dependent on it. We believe that when the business men of Raleigh realize that a big now hotel is absolutely necessary to the progress of their city it will be built. Our big auditorium without the hotel would be as much of a white elephant as is Greensboro's imported sheet-iron horse-barn though not In the same way. Is the Mecklenburg Declaration a Myth. -:.-'.- We cannot understand-' why.' the Chartestfin News and Courier takes so much delight In relegating; to the realm of myth and legend the great docu ment which is so fragrantly associat ed 'with .'the cause of liberty on this continent the famous Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence,, which Scott's Emulsion does all it does by virtue of one thing Power its power to create power. As fire turns water to Steam so Scott's Emulsion transforms thin, impure blood into pure, rich blood, giving nourishment and vital energy- to every organ, every tissue and every muscle.

TRESS COMMENT was drafted by the Scotch-Irish pa triots of North Carolina on J4a. 20, 1775. It is true that the authenticity of the document is to some extent in dis pute: but the challenge has proceeded from critics who were far removed from the scene of the celebrated pro test against British oppression. Years ago the state of North Caroli na undertook the most rigid Investi gation of the evidence upon this sub ject; and not only In deference to oral tradition, which has always tieen pro nounced In favor of the document," but on the warrant of certified records, the legislature of the commonwealth settled the question by designating the the L'Oth. of May a legal holiday in the state of North Carolina. Thus the Old North State signalized an event in American history which antedates by one whole year the kind ling of the bonfires in Philadelphia. On the next anniversary of the his toric day. no less a guest of honor than President William II. Taft will beliv er the address of the occasion: and the announcement of this fact contains the provocation which has called forth the editorial satire of the harleston paper. Against this higher criticism we Peg to protest. If there were no warrant in truth for the faith which we hold in the .Met'klentHirg Declaration of Independ ence, we. -would not le .letcrren lrtiin giving it up on the mere ground that it has long bven one of the traditional glories of this section. Hut since it is a matter of pride to the southern people, we purpose to cling tenaceously to the evidence, and until the Charleston News and Courier can cite better proofs than we have heretofore been ahlo to discover... we must continue to marvel at the note of skepticism '-which comes from tne ancient City by the Sea. The Georgian Special Cars For Women. 'I always gave up my seat to wo men when the oars were crowded un til I came here. But New York wo men don't thank one for the courtesy and New York men don t do It any more, so I've quit too." This is a sample of the explanation that every adopted New Yorker gives to his out-of-town Visitor as .they ride down to the office together on tne morning trains. It accounts for the recent establishment of special cars for women on the rush hour trains run ning through the tunnel system oe- tween the city and the Jersey .shore, and it serves also as the basis for a rather general belief that New York men are not chivalrous. Chivalrous the dweller in 'mighty Gotham may or may not be. hut he will gladly forego all claims to chival ry if any conduct of his will lead to mi abatement of tne strap-nanging nu isance. And he will have plenty of fellows in other cities to echo his sen timents. No man who has worked all day until hi is ready to "drop from. weariness, counts it a blessed privi leges to have to give up his seat in the street cav on his way homeward to some woman who has been out leis urely .'.shopping and chosen the rush hour to go home in.. Men offer their ats to women because they have been taught they ought to, because it is a conventional, courtesy, or because they are ashamed not to. Occasionally they offer the courtesy because: they want to. but not often. And when it Is ac cepted by the-fair recipient as a right of hers .which it is unnecessary to ac knowledge with a word of thanks the donor justly feels agrieved. . In all cities street car traffic is con gested at certain nours, aim tne in discriminate crowding is unpleasant to both men and Women. If separate cars could be provided tor tne sexes during the earlier hours of morning and the hours for going home, a good deal might be done to relieve the un pleasantness of the congestion. It is said that the plan has worked well where if has been tried and that all the pas? enger lines in New York may adopt it. There are reasons,' how ever, whv it blight fail. Women in the mass are not unselfish. Those who should arrive late and llml they had to stand in the cars set aside for tlvm would be likely to push on into the men's ears, as they have been accus tomed to doing, well knowing that they would be given seats. Also women are not fond of being herded together. If it were necessary many of them would rather give up the -opportunity for seats than the companionship. f men. And what would be done with man and wife? Would they be separated? .Washington I'ost, Kitcliiii of North Carolina. .' Representative Kiteliin. . i)f , North Carolina, is evidently one : of the olrl fuslilonert democrats: who still hold that a hiph protective tin Iff is mi eco nomic unwisdom and un ethicnl ini'iul ty. He thinks, as his 'party - used to think, that the tariff is a "bogus" friend: that Its benefits are specious heivfl!: thnt Its prosperity is nn artl- nrh:l p:o; :ity Ahieli does not nearly pay its v ay; and that the allcued 'need" of protection within his party if- ie;l!y only a kind of unthinking friKht. dmandins costly shelter from I fantastic dangers which do not exist, lie .ilys, too. that democrats who ask protection ..in the interest of their con stituents can no longer uttack republi cans for doing the name thing: that they must either sit In rather awkward silence while the republicans ate grab bing, or else frankly admit that the republican pot itton has all along been right, and the democratic position has all along been wrong. He is quite right In this. When reformers pnsslonately insist that the evils they net out to relieve Is both right and necessary in their own particular cases, their rela tionship to reform may be said to be over. No one na succeeaea in rx- plalnlng the conduct of some of these democratic congressmen by any argu ment which commands the assent and approval of Intellgcnt and disinterest ed observers. I We hear too few of such protests against the dissolution of the demo cratic party on this Btaunchest and solidest of Its principles. The silence of those who should speak has been the most significant and discouraging feature of the- situation.
