Tell 'if to the world that Raleigh Is leading the procession. : .With a million dollars worth of Improvements under construction and ready to start. It begins to look as It - Raleigh was preparing to look back atjgome of her sisters and ask them why they are so slow. The ; beauty about Raleigh's wonderful development In the last two years and what is coming within the next year, is that it is on a sound financial basis. Raleigh is doing business in the right way. ' Sleepy old Philadelphia has stolen a march on New York. Philadelphia has a Sunday afternoon newspaper Munsey's Evening Times. New York has nd Sunday afternoon paper. In fact there are only three in the coun try, we believe all Munsey's, one in Washington, one in Philadelphia, and the other in Boston. Sunday after itoon the Philadelphia Times con taining the sory of Crippen's arrest was sold in New York by the thous nnds. Tit was a good story and the people wanted to read it and Munsey, with, his .Sunday afternoon paper, supplied their wants. New York has great newspapers but in this instance they let the Philadelphia paper get a big seoop'' In re-electing Chairman Eller without any opposition or the sug gestion of opposition the democratic party paid a well-deserved tribute to . the man who has directed the forces of the party for the past two years. He Is a strong, man personally, a good organizer, a hard fighter and a clean one. All these qualities were recognized in the last campaign, and Mr. Eller was seen to have such . splendid, qualification for the place that there was unanimous demand that he retainh.8; leadership. The election of Mr. W. E. Brock, of An son,"" aSsecretary;wllf, we believe, also prove a wise -choice. Mr. Brock is a young man of splendid qualifica tions and will be an invaluable aid to the chairman. ' . .. ' - ' Too much praise cannot be given the Merchants' j&splation for the fight they have-made -In behalf of the citizens and business interests of Raleigh,' It is a fact that had it not been for the Merchants' Association, through their f. committee, nothing would have been done as the matter Bad-tjeeiv effectively smothered. In union .there. Is , strength, , and the tasiness "interests , of Raleigh, are learning to. pull, together for what tbey want.. When: the ..depot has been changed' to meet the order as issued, thep lexus ss . a;city and . as 'business' Interests - join- hands with the railroads' and help to make this a tiUvgteaterxpInce :.for business, both for :the reads- and for the mer- "X1- 'nts.'. V ' - 'J ' " Col. . A. S. Felld introduced a resr olutiott! in the meeting of the state ( tnocratlc executive committee Mon v nisht pledging ihe party to a le 1 pri .r.ary law. The Resolutions however, was overwhelmingly defeat ed. There was but very little debate on the resolution,' but the basis for voting seemed to be that It was an inopportune tftae to act on. the mat ter. The opposition was probably well taken but' it cannot be denied that Colonel Feild has sounded a de mand that must be met In some way. His resolution only gave, voice for demand that is coming from all over the state for some kind of revision of the party, machinery. And while all are not , agreed as to the form' the revision should take, the major ity seem to favor a general primary law. The piece-meal, hap-hazard prl mary certainly is' not satisfactory The old convention method was not satisfactory in the old days, as the effort to substitute something bet ter for it shows, and where it Is still held on to it is proving even less sat isfactory now. This is true of each method where it is now carried on separately, but where there is a com bination of the two methods almost intolerable conditions prevail.: Some effort must be made at remedy and since the executive cimmlttee formu lates the party machinery, it would be perfectly right for that committee to make suggestions to the legisla ture as to what it thinks would be a satisfactory legal plan. As we said in the-beginning. Colonel Field's res olution may have been inopportune, but if so, the committee could do no better workthan at the proper time to take up this matter, thresh it out to finish and agree upon an accept able way of choosing candidates. WITHIN' THEIR RIGHTS. In handing down their opinion in the union depot matter, the Corpora tion Commission gave its opinion on one point that is not only of special interest to Raleigh, hut to all the state and should be read and re membered by those citizens of the state who feel that they should lay their complaints before the commis sion. The argument set forth by this particular railroad in this para graph is really ridiculous and it is well for the people that the com mission rendered Its opinion - on this point lest even the roads by con tinually thinking on this fallacy they had concocted, really come to believe it themselves.' The follow ing from the opinion of the com mission is of special interest on this point. It says: "Respondent, Southern Railway Company, in its answer, says: 'The management of the railroads are better qualified to express an opin ion upon the sufficiency of accommo dations than any committee of citi zens, which does not have to pro vide any of the funds necessary for erecting and maintaining such build ings.' , "We pause here to say that the subject of control of railroads by the states through legalized constituted bodies is no longer an open question, and the good citisens of Raleigh are well within their rights in appealing to the commission for relief from what hey believe to be an imposi tion in the way of lack of public facilities, and are not willing to ad mit that all knowledge of what these requirements are and should be is concealed In the- breasts of the rail road officials, who do not always pro vide even what they know and ad mit are '" public necessities without gentle reminders from the public." Press Comment. Earth Cavinx In. . Another "sink" on Alachua Lake. Just cross the chain of 'sinks'' south of the city, developed some time dur ing Wednesday night, and as a result the trains over the Atlantic Coast Line were annulled after the Leesburg- Jacksonvllle train, , which reached here Thursday morning at 8 o'clock. The first report that reached the city was brought by Conductor Fred erick, who was advised of the trouble by Section Foreman : Thlgpen, who made the discovery early In the morn ing on his way to the Bouth ' end of his (section. ' When Mr. Thlgpen first 'discovered the new sink it was not more than 10 or 15 feet in diameter, but it spread very rapidly during the morning hours and by the arrival - of the Leesburg passenger train It had grown to about 40 feet, one large chunk of earth fol lowing after another in rapid ; suc cession, and the' ground cracking for" space pf Beveral feet around the entire hole. i ". At about noon hour the place pre sented a rather Interesting scene, for at this time the 'great loads of earth were rolling In at, intervals, and with them the water would boll and sinle as though It was hot Iron being struck in place. The great pool resembled' the waves of the seas, , for during all day It was In motion, sometimes be ing greater than at others, and up to last night the eprtb was still; falling. Reports from the place last night were to the effect that the hole had covered a distance of 125 feet running north ' and i south. while the ' east to west bank the distance la fully 109 feet i . - This 0infc developed sow . JOQ yards this side of the one that occurred there a few years ago, when a, local freight tram and many cars fell to the bottom of the place, "but ; fortunately there was no water in this one, and It-was easily filled in, and Is used today the same as the old roadbed. 'J.. "Just how' deep the water in this new place is cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy, for during the forenoon a large tree1 that .was fully 30 or more feet tall was In the middle of the place and In the afternoon It liad disappeared, "as though nothing but a bottomless bole was. there to re ceive anything that came Its way. There are a. number of old sinks In the vicinity, but the new one .Is larger than any - of the others. Gainesville (Fla.) Sun.' . ;'-.; -.;;..;.'; ?,;;,', -. Preserving Crippen's' Rights. ' V American police officials were' given an effective lesson in official proceedure and ,etiquette by Inspector Dew, of Scotland Yard, when he boarded the Montrose and arrested Dr. Crlppen and MlsS LeNeve. Under the orders of Dew, the police officials of Quebec in placing the suspects under arrest, declared specifically: "Anything you say will be taken down In writing and . may be used against you at your trial." Under the provisions of the laws of this country the same protection Is supposed to be given to every prisoner. Under the actual working of our sys tem, however, the warning Is frequently forgotten or given in a manner that is concession to the letter rather than the spirit of the requirement. In England, where courts are run with clocklike precision where In the civil branches, a suit may be begun In a lower court and disposed of on appeal within a few months', time the presumption of Innocence, iintll guilt is proved, is a literal fact. No prisoner is harassed Into confession, no third-degree methods are used. Inspector Dew announced that ie would not try to force a confession from, the suspects. Moreover, he in structed . them clearly and emphati cally as to their rights. His rranK course Is all the more remarkable In view of the fact that without a con fession in this present case conviction will have to be obtained solely on cir cumstantial evidence. It will not be easy, In view of the mutilation of the body and the use of lime in destroying the evidences, to obtain a conviction unless the prison ers make incriminating siaiemenia. Nevertheless, the English government Is determined to preserve' the spirit of the law at all costs. The prisoners rights, will be preserved, and If they be convicted, there can be no charge of injustice. Moreover, although the prisoners ex pressed their willingness to go back to Eneland for trial without fighting requisition, the government Instructed its representatives at Quebec that the fifteen days allotted by the law ror appeals should be allowed to elapse before the suspects be deported. In the observance of these formalities, so essential to a true adminlstdatlon or Justice. England teaches a lesson not only to the police officials of America, . . . .. . .1 A hut to tnose or ine .tnure vivimbw world. Washington Post. The Coast Survey. It Is very greatly to be hoped that the senate committee on commerce will take up the case of the coast and seodetic survey and conduct and m nulsitlon that will lead to a final dis position of the conflicts ana recrim inations that for a long time past have centered about the devoted bureau. As far back as four or five months ago attention was directed to the com plaints and - scandals in Washington and to the settled conviction In the minds of experienced navy officers that the service had seriously degenerated since its transfer to civilian auspices. was- obvious - then that the whole subject should be reviewed by compe tent and impartial authority to the end of perfecting the System If abuses were found to exist or refuting the accusa tions if they were found to be un warranted. ,' There is no doubt that many persons in and out of the naval services be lieve that the survey of today Is dis tinctly inferior to that which was con ducted under the control of the Navy Department previous to 1898. It is dominated by gentlemen of high scien tific attainments, but apparently not by gentlemen bred and educated to life upon the water. It Is topheavy In the matter of purely 6'vlllan offi cials and much too lightly equipped In the matter of trained mariners, and there Is no doubt that outside of the navy, in mercantile marine circles, for example, there Is a definite and an ncreasing dissatisfaction with the work , of the bureau. Not only to do admirals and captains, of the line, of course. Impeach the accuracy and au thority of the latter day charts, -but sailing JTJSSters have begun to grumble and the representatives of maritime organizations to protest. , As for the smaller scandals, that the bureau's steamship, the Bache, has been used for weeks at a time as a pleasure yacht by survey officials and their families, etc., these are questions of fact which may easily be determined by investigation. We see the stories with some vehemence, but this Is not ecessarlly convincing, because Prof. Tlttman Is not supposed to survey things In person on the Bache, and further because he spends a good deal of, his time :,: abroadof course, on scientific missions. ' ' But even If these allegations be true, they will be lost In the larger and more Important questions, of the organization of the toast amd geodetic survey, the change to civilian -management, and the consequent relaxation of that strict military discipline which prevailed under old dispensation. Congress should take the matter up as soon as It reassembles. The navy Is Sow joined by the merchant marine Interests, and that combination Is not to be disregarded. NeW York Surt. Perpetual Motion 4 Clocks. : . ' An astonishing claim comes from Burton-on-Trents, England,: where a Mr. P. Bentley says that he has solved the problem of perpetual , motion . tor stationary clocks. .. - v He has awarded a gold metal at Liverpool Jn M0Z -for a clock which lias not been wound In ten years, and Is still going, v The latest invention. which eclipses that clock, is actuated by electricity, secured direct from the earth; without battery; and 'it -Ul depends on the almost frlctlonless working parts. , The clock Is undoubtedly a marvel of Ingenuity, and '. the invenior, Who has spent much time in considering methods of applying negative and pos itive . currents, Is an electrician . of some note, - The Clock, which started many months: ago,' has never stopped once, and It Is the marvel of all 'who see It, for without the usual working parts of a spring -timepiece, the pen dulum swings merrily--on . without ap parent, cause, being driven baqk from side Ip side' through electrical agency, the vwlres going direct Into the .earth, Mr. Bently: will' not, disclose Jiow. he acnieves me singular result, ana awaiting full patent recognition, but there the clock is, and if any attempt is made to stop it instantly the pres sure is released the ticking goes on as before. ; Mr. Bentley asserts. that the fact of ine . motive power' remaining constant and unchanged should insure absolute ly correct time, . Making every allow ance for1 wear and. tear, the inventor is convinced that it Is no exaggera tion to state that the clock will run 90 years With ease, provided that the few wheels within it do not wear down.

VENTILATING THE CAPITOL. Correction of Erroneous , Statement About Installation of Ventilating System. To the Editor of The Times: ;. Dear Sir: I have before me an item from The Evening Times of August 2d, headed "Ventilating at Capitol." This article is. .ver, misleading, to say the least, and does an injury to the - contractors on: the work and to the state official -i who have the matter in " charge,! IparQcuiarly the last paragraph of the article. I learn from the contractors that they did not give out, any Information or statement in reference to the work. s . . Aa architect and engineer for the state, in charge of this work, I would have been glad to give you any in formation desired 'in reference to same. ' . " Messrs. Young & Hughes, of this city, aave a contract .to heat and ventilate the house and senate cham bers. The Carolina Electric Com pany have a contract to wire the capitol for electric lights, and also have a sub-contract; to install the ventilating fan and motor for Young & Hughes. ' -l ; The fan referred .to in The Times as being too large to get in the building without "opening the roof" of the capitol was shipped, in ac cordance with the specifications for the work, bolted together in such a manner that it can be readily taken apart, and at the proper time will be so taken apart and .carried up the stairways to the attic where it will be set up ready for use. The mat ter of opening the roof has never been considered in this connection. The ventilating system being in stalled, is the most; modern that could be devised and is practically a duplicate of the system lately in stalled In the U. ,8. capitol at, Wash ington. I have no doubt, that when the system being installed is .com pleted in accordance with the pres ent plans and tested, that the state authorities will be glad to accept it as a long-needed improvement. As I said, I , am always glad to give correct Information as to any work in my charge and will be glad to be of any assistance to you in getting such building matters straight.
