The Charlotte Chronicle, to satisfy the expressed curiosity of The Even ing Times as to what kind of a plat form It would be willing to go before the country on in the next election, gives us an outline of its ideas about the matter. It says if the building of the next platform were left to It that Instrument would be a corker. Says The Chronicle: "The Times wonders what sort of a platform The Chronicle would go before the country on in the next campaign. Leave the matter of the building of the platform to The Chronicle and it would be a corker It would declare for national aid in the upbuilding of the merchant ma rine (the ship subsidy); for forest preservation and the establishment of national parks; for the develop ment of inland waterways and the deepening of rivers and harbors on the Atlantic coast; for public build- lags tor every town in the south that needs one; for whatever sort of a tariff, high, low, Jack-in-the-game, thai would benefit the farmers and the cotton mill industry, and, as long as protection is in existence, to give the south as much of its benefits as New England, the north and the west are reaping and' have been reaping fotfi years, That would be the main . planks in our platform. Beat it if you can." ' : .. We couldn't beat it. In fact wp think it is a good enough platform for' anybody. We can heartily en- dorse all of its planks except the last one, and as for that one anybody could stand on It and fall on any side of the fence. We don't think much of a "Jack-in-the-game tariff", for that is the kind we have now, but still as The Chronicle expresses it, we believe we can whoop it up, when takea In conjunction with the other ' planks if The. Chronicle succeeds in Setting any one of the old parties or - any new combination to adopt its suggestions. But while Brother Harris's plat form is all right and worthy of adop tion by any party, we don't under stand how he is to get its provisions enacted into law. When the party adopts it and the candidates who run ' on It are elected it has served Its purpose, according to the philosophy that Brother Harris and others are teaching right now. Let the plat form be hanged and vote as you please, is the doctrine for which our senators and congressmen are being commended. So what assurance will The. Chronicle have that its platform Will he carried out. The men elected Upon it will not be bound by it. Of ipeurse not. They will he sensible men, able to dOrthelfc own thinking and It will be perfectly all right for them to think differently after get ting selected from what they did be- - fore.-" T 'Z Yes, The Chronicle's platform is all right. But will The Chronicle's candidates stick. If The Chronicle j 'can, assure us that they will it can count on us for help. 1 V THE EARLY CASE, lithe Washington Post aeemB to be Jsomewhat of the -opinion that the reason the health authorities of Washington' do not want John Early tplear to'New -York I because Jhey TRADES WEgf COUNCIL I! ' . ' ' , ' -.':' ' ., .'., ,.ttich section or ine constitution . are afraid they bvn .Pade a mistake provldeg that "the Govtrnof shall have J If be Is taken away it will be even tually shown that they are wrong. North Carolinians especially remem ber how anxious the district author ities were' to get rid of Early, because they made every possible effort to send him back" to this state. But now they are holding on to him as if he were one of "their most cherished possessions".' The Post says: "The attitude of the Washington health authorities toward the alleged leper Early has developed a most pe culiar, situation, and one in which the authorities do not appear to great advantage. A few months ago, when Early first made his appearance in Washington and was supposed to be afflicted with leprosy, the authori ties tried to find some way by which he could be sent out of the city and back to the state he came from. For several weeks the question of what should be done with him bothered the officials greatly. Washington did not want him, and North Carolina would not take him. Now a very eminent specialist has declared that the disease of Early Is not leprosy, and offers to take him away and cure him. The health ae thorities of New York have signified their willingness to admit the pa tient to' their jurisdiction. If he has leprosy the people of Washington do not want him here, and if his disease is curable he ought to be permitted to go where he can receive proper treatment; but when thtf opportunity Is offered for Washington to get rid of him our authorities hang on to him as if he were one of their most cherished possessions. Possibly there may be some good reason for this, but to the uninformed person it has the appearance of being a desire on the part of the health officers to prevent Early from proving that they were mistaken when they declared his dis ease leprosy. Having said it was lep rosy, they are disposed to stick to It, thereby justifying their action toward him. If Early is willing to go away and no longer trouble the district, and some other jurisdiction is willing to receive him, and if by-going away he will have an opportunity to be cured, it is in the nature of a great wrong to him if our authorities throw any obstacles in his way." NEW BOOKS. Is Immortality Desirable? By O. Lowes Dickinson. . Cloth, 12mo 64 pages. 75 cents net, 81 cents postpaid. Houghton Mifflin Co., 4 Park St., Boston. This Is the latest of the Ingersoll (not Bob Ingersoll) lectures, delivered at Harvard this spring and published In book form last month. The author who has been' described as a good deal pagan is one of the most distinguished writers of the day In England. Mere continuation of life, and parti cularly of such a life as people live in their old age, Mr. Dickenson says, is not worth while. Life beyond the grave is desirable only on the supposi tion that it is to be better than the life here. As for a repetition of life without memory of the preceding life such a scheme as Nietzsche has imagined it would be desirable to those who find life valuable, but to the pessimist quite otherwise. Of the Christian view "in its simple un compromising form," he says, "most geed men who might with reason ex pect heaven would, I suspect, prefer to resign It if they can only have it on condition that others no matter though they be the most wicked are enduring hell." But supposing a heaven "the ultimate term of a process in which we are engaged, of the end of which we can only say that it is Good," Mr. Dickenson says that he believes Immortality to be desirable. In answering the question. What is this Good? Mr. Dickenson says that we are to find this out by experience, and that is Ideal should not be station ary; that the real heaven "lies always beyond." "The whole strength of the case for immortality as a thing to be desired," he says, "lies in the fact that no one in this life attains his ideal." He considers life infinitely more valu able If one's ideal may be pursued be yond natural life. The writer's definitions of the word "soul," from two pdints of view, not his own, lead us Into deep waters. Does perpetuation of the soul means perpetuation of influence and memory, or perpetuation of a substance, perhaps without continuity of consciousness.' Such an immortality might, in Mr. i Dickenson's view, be desirable, but less ; desirable than an Immortality Imply ing continued consciousness and a pos sibility of . continued development toward perfection. In "toncluslon, Mr. Dickenson ex presses the hope that the continuance of life after death may after all De demolrfitrated scientifically, and that people may In the meantime take a real Interest In the Important question of immortality.

As to be expected, the "scouts" for the Herald and the Atlanta Journal will not recommend the Capital-to-Capltal automobile highway. We are quite willing they should -please them selves in this matter, but it is now squarely up to the advocates of the Washington to Jacksonville highway tr, take care of themselves. We must get busy. The Washington Post and the Rich mond Times-Dispatch are enlisted in this project, and will vote their ener gies particularly to getting the high way from Washington to Richmond. Their encouragement and moral sup port will be given, of course, to the whole line, but it is the active coop eration by every community through which the highway will pass that must be .depended upon to bull it. Local activity; self help. Is needed. Mr. Potts, of the Ttmes-Rispatch writes the editor of The State that is is proposed to call a meeting of all Interested at some central point in South Carollpa that being Columbia early in October, all the delegates from five States and the District of Colum bia to come, in their motor cars. Co lumbia will be ready; South Carolina will be ready. . In the opinion of Mr. Potts this au tomobile highway from Washington to Jacksonville wil cause millVms of dol lars to flow into the Southern States. But it will do more than bring money here. It wil cause the stimulation of a movement In saving milionsmmffwy a movement for good roads that will result in saving millions of dolars to Southern farmers. Columbia State.
