Entered at the Postoffice at Raleigh,
N. C, as Second-class Matter,
OIK KKIKNDS, THE ENEMY.
The republican hosts of .North
Carolina are gathered in the state
capital today. From every county
. and from every section and corner
of the state they have come. The
city gladly gives them welcome. It
is glad to welcome them within its
gates and to extend to them every
courtesy.' We of the state's citizens
who make our home ?n this fair city
want the citizens of the state, as a
whole, to always realize that this is
as much their city as ours. We
want our republican 'friends to
realize this and we want them to
feel that everything we have to offer
is theirs. The latchstring is on the
the outside of the door and welcome
is within.
But, of course, while this welcome
is sincere, and genuine, we don't
want our - republican friends to extend-
its snrrcatjon too far. For
; if they do that then they cease to
be friends -and become "our friends,
the enemy." We are mighty glad to
have them come here- and hold
their conventions but when they try
toj come, back here and hold the offi
ces and make the laws then we arc
welcoming the republican.; of tho
state to Raleigh and telling them
tho capital city is theirs, of convey
ing tho impression that they would
be welcome here in any legal capacity.
But since they are now our guests
it would not be polite to tell them
at this time why neither Raleigh nor
the majority of the people of the
state wants them here In au official
capacity.
But, their politics aside they are
good fellows. If they were not. re
publicans we take It. that the ma
jority of-jthem. would be just like
other folks, and since all of us have
infirmities or aberrations or lapses of
one kind or a.iothcr, we should not
be too hard on them because of their
party allegiance. It may be a dis
ease and if It is the democrats will,
of course, apply the proper remedy
on Novemhor 5. They never fail to
do lt-and though the republicans
suffer recurrent attacks every two
and four years, the democratic rem
edy keeps It from being fatal and
Way, sometime, cure it altogether.
indeed, were It not for infection from
national sources, we have no doubt
. the remedy would already have
proved wholly effective, and since
this year the democrats are going
r-ty, apply wholly effective sanitary
measures to the national sour es of
Infection, clean them up thoroughly
and fumigate them, we may suc
'ceed Ja- stamping out the disease
altogether. And with that done our
republican friends will get perma
nently over It and we hope ever
'' thereafter be just like folks.
SeriouBly, we welcome them here.
Our differences, politically, are funda
mental, but we are all, as citizens,
that Is the great majority of citizens
whether republicans or democrats,
a-lmlng at one thing for our state
and country, the best government

erate wisely and act with discretion
to the end that, if the democrats do
not succeed in carrying through the
sanitary measures they have under
way, the country will still be safe,
though in republican hands. And
we wish them a pleasant time in the
capital city and a safe return to
their homes and families when their
deliberations are over. " '
t'lVIIi -SERVICE PENSIONS.
Prospects for passage by congress
of a bill foT retirement on pensions
of superannuated employes of the
United States took on a rosy hue
when Senator Cummins reported his
bill for civil service retirement, with
the recommendation of the senate
committee on civil service that it be
passed. The bill was approved by
the committee practically as it, was
introduced by Senator Cummins and
described in detail at the time,
with one important change. In case
of employes now in the service who
will be retired within the next twen
ty years and who. therc-jre, cannot
contribute enough to make up a full
retirement fund, monthly pensions
are to be paid during lifetime instead
of a lump sum at the time of retire
ment. This was a compromise upon
which Senator Cummins, the author
of the bill, and Senator Smoot, a
member of the committee, agreed
after . Mr. Smoot had suggested that
the money to be paid employes al
ready in the service is a gift from
the government and should be paid
in the way it would do the most
good, in the opinion of .government
officials. Monthly pensions instead
of a lump sum was regarded by Sen
ator Smoot as the better method of
providing for the retired dorks. In
the case of clerks to be retired after
twenty years, or after tho system is
put in full operation, the employe
of t'ncle Sam is to be' paid, a-lump
sum of $,"1,1100. As tiiat is made up
entirely from contributions,'" taken
from tho monthly, salaries of the
clerks, the committee took the posi
tion that the money belonged to (lie
clerk and he should receive it, to do
with as wanted.
In general the bill provides for the
contributory plan of retirement. The
contributions of the clerks, It was
provided in the bijl as introduced,
could be deposited in savings banks
if the savings banks pay 4 per cent
Interest, compounded annually. The
committee amended the bill to allow
such deposits in national and stale
banks and trust companies, and pro
viding that the interest they pay is
compounded semi-annual'.. Another
amendment adds the solicitor or the
treasury to the board, composed of
the treasurer of the 1'nilod States,
the controller of the currency and
two persons selected by the presi
dent from the civil service employes,
which is to aid the secretary of the
treasury in caring for tho retirement
funds. And It wan specified that the
members of this board are to servo
without additional compensation.
The benefits of the retirement sys
tem were also extended, by a com
mittee amendment, to present em
ployes of the government who were
In the classified service for ten
years, but who have been appointed
thereforo to an unclassified position
in the government service and who
are still in such service. As origi
nally drawn, the benefits of retire
ment would have lieen extended, as
to present employes, only to those In
the classified service. Members of
the committee urged that the benefits
should aUo go to bureau chiefs and
other such employes not In the clas
sified service who did service in the
classified service. 1
The substitute provision for that
in the original bill fixing the pay
ment to present employes upon re
tirement provides: "There shall be
paid to every employe In the classi
fied civil service of the United States
at the time this act takes effect, ex
cept postmasters, who reaches the
rotlrlng age In the service within
twenty years after this act takes ef
fect, a further sum (besides con
tributions similar to those made by
new employes) determined as fol
lows: To each such employe wkf re
tires on account of, age within on
year1 after this Uli takes 'effect '$3.

A fad is a deep-seated halluciua

a descendant of
the old-fashioned

more expensive
and painful in its
operation. A man
used to be able
to entertain some
harmless hobby

it costs more to
take a fad into your home and keep
it in good working order than it
does to maintain a hired girl in the
state of affluence demanded by the
union. The physical culture fad is
one which makes the interior ot
the home look like a Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium, and is designed to make
two biceps grow where none grew
before. ' JT is accompanied by a text
book showing what the human form
would be like if it had been inter
rupted by highballs and the straight-
front corset. The cold bath fad is
a variety which is intended to keep
a man's circulation from fallng sev
eral degrees below par, and is pur
sued with great abandon by people
whose feet never get warm enough
to blister anybody. The fresh air
fad is a species of delirium which en
ables its devotees to sleep in the
teeth of an open window and a bed
which is inlaid with four Inches of ir
ridescent hoar-frost. The sleeping
porch fad is one strongly recom
mended by the medical fraternity,
whose members, however, prefer to
sleep in company with the apoplectic
steam radiator and the silk robe de

of armor in the form of slewing
bags, ear tabs, wool mittens and
super-heated stopstones. and in
order to enjoy It properly, should, be

Press Comment.
The Morton Case.
Tho Sun and Tribune both tiiiffer
from a lapse of memory hen, refer
ring to the case of Paul Morton, they
say that when President- Roosevelt
gave an immunity bath to a member
of his cabinet who. confessed to hav
ing violated, knowingly and repeat
edly, tho federal statutes against re
bating. The caso was worse than that.
The offense of Paul Morton was
committed when he was a high offi
cial of one of the trunk line rail
roads. Confronted with the accusa
tion he made no denial and made no
plea in extenuation except that the
Interests of his road necessitated the
offering of rebates in order to obtain
a fair share of the business in the
face of sharp competition. On this
the president, in tho face of protests
from the prosecuting attorneys in
tho employ of the government, or
dered the proceedings stopped. The
attorneys, indignant at Roosevelt's
action resigned their special com
missions; and not long afterwards
President Roosevelt called the con
fessed lawbreaker to a seat In his
cabinet, thus offering to the Ameri
can public the object lesson that
lawlessness and dishonesty in a cor
poration official constitutes no bar to
political advancement In the eyes
that are too prone to look upon

Why Hanna is Putting I'p.
Dan Hanna is the son of Mark
Hanna, one of the bosses with whom
Mr. Roosevelt was on very good
terms when the bosses could be of
use to him, and he is now one of the
most active and influential men en
gaged in the fight to wrest Ohio
from President Taft. The Cincinnati
Times-Star, which is qivned by
Charles I'. Taft, brother of the
president, has explained why. Mr.
Hanna is interested In steel.: He was
caught some months ago rebating
it Cleveland, In violation of the law
and he was indicted by old Wicker
shani, uiioii the complaint of the
interstate commerce commission.
That was more than : M.v Hanna
ould stand and, he determined, if
be could not have his way in the
matter of rebates, he would "get
even with the , adventuresome ad
ministration that would direct his
prosecution. He has great gobs of
money and he has been putting it up
in the interest , of. the colonel, who
regards Mr. Hanna, naturally, as a
good trust. Not only has Mr.: Hanna
plenty of money but he owns two
newspapers, and. i .these., have been
turned loose in 'the Interest of his
candidate, M. Hanna also controls
another newspaper and it is the only
other republican' paper In Ohio, in
addition to the two he owns out
right, that 16 backing Mr, Roosevelt
for the presidential nomination.: It
is further reported that Mr. Hanna
Is putting up for the two bo-ses in
Ohio who are particularly '.active-in
the interest of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr.
Hanna is doubtless a very nice fel
lowhis father, 'In spite of all that
was said against- him, was one of the
best fellows in the world, barring
his politics: but he would have bad
more sense, wo believe, than to have
shown his hand quite bo plainly as
the son is showing his.
Ohio is a very corrupt state, prob
ably the most corrupt state in the
union. Out there the people think
that the ballot is a thing that can be
sold without any loss of respect by
the voters who may be in the mar
ket : and in financing the present
campaign il in very clearly xuiider
tstood by the voters 'that .their votes
are worth i;n much money if they
care to take it. In the- meantime,
the proceedings in the case against
Mr. Hanna are proceeding. With
the whole country advised of the
character of the republican voters in
Ohio and the means of the campaign
managers of the colonel, it remains
to be seen whether or not they will
sell out with everybody looking at
them. The only way the colonel can
get the state is by purchase. Char

licliring Moderator, Rev. Russell

liver First ' Important Message
"Fleet Infant" t'jwses General
Discussion Change of Confession
to Occupy liarge Pari of the Time
of Assembly.
Bristol," -Tenn., May 15. Repre
sentatives of tlie Southern Presby
terian church, who have been assem
bling here during the week past, will
enter today upon the actual ses
sions of the 52nd general assem
bly of the church. Again this year
the "Elect Infant" clause of the con
fession of faith, will come before the
assembly probably in the course, of
a movement to have the expression
Meet Infants omitted altogether
from the confession. Six ad interim
committees will make their reports
and the standing executive commit
tees will account to the church's rep
resentatives their doing and accom
plishments of the year.
The address of the retiring moder
ator, the Rev. Russell Cecil, D. D., of
Richmond, Va., is to be the first
of the important messages delivered
by leading ministers to the assembly.
The proposed change of the "Elect
Infant" clause has been the occasion
for much discussion recently. The
Louisville assembly of 1911 approved
and sent down to the Presbyteries
"for their advice and consent" this
proposed, altered wording of the de
batable clause:
"Infants, dying in infancy, are re
generated and saved by Christ
through the Spirit Who worketh
when and where and how He
pleaseth. So also are all others who
are included In the election of grace
and who are incapable of being out
wardly called by the ministry of the
Word."
H is said to be probable that a
sufficient number of the Presbyteries
have not given their consent to the
proposed change to make it effective,
although to quote from a recent edi
torial by the Hev. D. M. Sweets of
Louisville, "The objectionable ex
pression "Elect Infants" has. caused
a great deal of unreasonable preju
dice against the Presbeterian church.
If the amendment is defeated, the
assembly probably will be asked to
omit the expression altogether i'rotn
the confession." ,-"'-..

posed amendment now is virtually

adopted, he affirmed, by the assem
bly of 1902:
"We are persuaded that the Holy
Scriptures, when fairly Interpreted,
amply warrant us in believing that,
all infants who die in infancy arc
included in the election of grace and
arc regenerated and saved by Christ
through the Spirit, etc."
It is said to be certain that Hie
revision of this clause in the confes
sion will occupy a large part of the
attention of the assembly. :
The ad interim committees whose
reports will be received are that in
marriage and divorce, that charted
with suggesting a changed basis of
representation to the assembly, that
which sent out a pastoral letter on
worldliness in the churches, that to
consider the establishing of a great.
Presbyterian university in Atlanta
or vicinity, that on the home and
school at Fredericksburg, Va., and
that charged with considering the
growth of the Romanistic church and
some practical method's of meeting
it.-.
In connection with the women's
missionary unions, the assembly will
have to consider at least one asoect
of the suffrage question, described
as "the loveliest question before the
church just now." The women are
asking for the appointment of a wo
man secretary "to labor in conjunc

committees tinder the control and
direction, of course, of the church
court and without in any cense
assuming authority outside of the
regular established channels of

HARD CAMPAIGNING.'
Rains Take Stump Speakers Trip
Has Sympathy With Fanners.
Atlaita, May 15. Jiih Price, of
Ocsnee, says the rainy weather with
which Georgia has recently been af
flicted is not only hard on farming,
out especially tough on campaigning.
rt few days ago Mi. Price was in
Atlanta te'ling some of his friends
what a great time he was having
campaigning through Georgia in an
automobile. Just about that time a
couple of days of hard rain set In.
and. the Price automobile is still tied
up in Atlanta, while Mr. Price has
taken to the railroad, temporarily at
least, as a surer means of letting
some of the people know that he is
running for commissioner of agricul
ture. Mr. Price took the train over
to Macon where he spent this week
wi... the Confederate veterans.
among who he numbers' many
friends.
"There is only one encouraging
thing on the farm in connection with
the weather We have been ..aving,"
says Mr. Price today, "and that is
that when I got i.ome after leaving
my automobile here in Atlanta, I
found the grass growing so fast that
the cows and sheep and hogs had
more of it than they could eat. .One
of the things I hope to help impress
upon the farmers of Georgia is the
importance of keeping live stock, not.
alone lor the money there Is in them
directly, but from the very valuable
standpoint.' of animal husbandry -
the returning to the soil of those ele
tnents which make it most produc
tive. It is just as important for the
fne-ihorse farmer as It is for the
big plantation. I propose. If I am
elected commissioner of ugriculture
in fact whether : I am elected or
not to push this principle for all it
is worth."
