The Blight of
Popular Wrath,
(By Dr. John Franklin Crowell
.)
Some day that will arise a truly
great artist who will give to the
world a picture,, the theme of
which is the action of popular in
dignation putting out of the way
one of the victims. Within a
year or more the public has seen
strong men drop as if struck by
some unseen dart. Men who
only shortly before were regard
ed as mainstays of business great
ness, all at once fell like flies
from the wall and were swept out
with the main current of events
as if they never were.
v. The explanation of this is pot
wholly mysterious. It is to be
found in the operation of . the
mind of the multitude in whom
the vials of wrath have been tilled
only to bo poured out upon those
whom they have been taught' to
trust, but who, after all, consci
ously or unconsciously, have
proved themselves unfaithful to
the cofldence of the community.
In this material age we have
come to rest that there is little
force in the mental attitude or
our environment. But wl.en we
get a little farther along and the
scales of materialism fair from
our blinded eyes we : shall feel
that the worst thing that can
ever befall a man is to awaken
against himself that most real of
human forces the blight of wel
deserved ; popular indignation.
There is nothing in all the cate
gories of penalties, short of the
wrath of God. that croes home to
its victim quite so straight and
with such deadly effect as this
thing of hamanhate against those
who have cultivated the trust of
others an! some 'how or other
succeeded in betraying it.
If one can picture a strong man
proud of his own might, and ex
alted in the light of the public
attention, suddenly dropping into
darkness and surrounded by hye
nas hungry for the last shred of
his flesh and the last drop of his
blood, the sound of whose cries
and the flash of whose fierce eyes
were the only thing percoptible to
him. he would have some sense
of the tortue through which the
mnn of sensitive soul coes who
becomes the object of the injured
sense in popular feeling on ac
count of alleged or rea betrayals
of trust. .
The poison of public wrath may
not always manifest itself in such
violent bursts of fury. It ; may
at.pnl slnwlv unon a . man in his
pride of power and transform his
consciousness into a judgment
seat, slowly but surely coiling
around him the cords of convic
tion nntii self-surrender to the
th ough t su cceed s in accompl ish
inr his execution.! The man of
r .
nnwpr who has wroneed those
dependent upon him by betraya
can rpttd wrath in the faces of
men and women who pass him on
Mia atrpet. Even the smiles of
rhiirh-An ftrft mockery to him.
There is nothing ';. in human ex
nrnssion that voices aught else
than condemnation. His whole
environment conspires to convict
him asrainst his will. Gradually
the paralysis of helplessness
creeps over every center of 'per
sonal power, and the sword o
iudirment falls' upon his neck!
The widely-published man has
gone out, like a blasted leaf, iDto
the-'great unknown somewhere.
Would that he codld try 'again to
see whether he might live true to
things entrusted to him under a
new deal.
Blessed indeed is the man
whose last days are the fruitage
of righteous dealings with his
fellowmenl
Marshall to Have a New School
House.
(From New3 & Observer May 11)
Representative Plato Durham
Ebb9 of Madison County, the
democrat who wrought a miracle
n coming to Raleigh by Uie Nov
ember election route and J. II.
White, one of his republican sup
porters, came here yesterday to
borrow $3000 from the superin
tendent of public instruction
with which to extend Marshall
academy, the biggest public
school of the extreme west.
Thev irot the money and de
clared that between now and the
reopening of the school year they
will build enough to tako care ot
all the students who have been
uncomfortably . housed in past
months. The Marshall School is
one of the most advanced of the
high schools and carries twelve
grades. .
While here Messrs Ebbs and
White called upon the corpora
tion-commission and Mr. White
looked over the capitol which he
barelv escaped occupying 18
years ago and missed more easily
just a few years , ago. The fus-
ionists wanted to nominate Mr.
White as auditor but it cost $500
dollars to make, the race ap4Mr.
White did not feel like . losing
that amount. He eschewed poli
tics. And the man who did run
came along and was elected.
Mr. White was the republican
nominee for corporation commis
sioner against W.. T. Lee, of
Havwood county. The Marshall
man did not expect to win then,
but it did not cost so much to
lose. He wanted to see his suc
cessful opponent today but Mr.
Lee was down towu at the visit
ing hour.
Both Marshall men declare
that the west is overwhelmingly
with Judge Carter in his candid
acy for the attorney generalship.
Mr, White being among those
who think enthusiastically of the
judge's prospects. The visitors
believe that in a primary the
judge will run with great popu-
ar applause and the republicans
of the west are numbered among
the judge's best fricndsv Wbe4 ti
er these viould forego their party
to vote in such a primary is not
suggested.
When Ebbs left Raleigh ' m
March after making reputation
for originality in his few speeches
he declared that he was not com
ing back, bnt his companion, who
is a banker in Madison s capital,
savs he will and that the-.republi
cans will return him. Ebbs car
ried this county with its 1000 re
nnhlioan maioritv. by 600. The
epublicans will support lino.
Mr. Forester's Idea
(Greensboro Daily News.)
Secretary Forester's article in
yesterday's Daily News is worth
the careful study of every man
who believes in the future of
North Carolina, and who desires
to contribute to its prosperity
There is a certain sort of adver
tising that comes free, and North
Carolina has' had her share of
that. Only last week Mr. Hearst's
American published a vicious at
tack on the state vituperative,
slanderous, false in every sent-
ence--written by an ignorant ana
malicious woman. But it was
sensational, and therefore the
notorious "yellow" was glad to
give it a prominent position on
the editorial page. 1
That sort of advertising doesn t
cost the state a cent of actual
cash but it costs us the good
opinion of decent people who are
not informed of the true state of
affairs. It costs us hundreds of
desirable immigrants, and there
fore thousands and millions of
dollars which those settlers would
have put into our pockets had
they not been turned away by
the reports of slanderers.
It is doubtless regretable, but
it is a fact that more often than
not advertising that domes free Is
of the undesirable kind. If we
want people to know the truth
about North Carolina we must
tell .hem 4tbe truth ourselves
"He that tooteth not his own
horn, verily the same shall not
he tooted." We have endless ad
vantages, but in these days of
fierce competition otljer people
are not going to advertise them
for us. They are too busy ad
vertising their own.
Only a few weeks ago there
was in Greensboro a'special car
fitted up and maintained at enor
mous expense', advertising the
natural resources of California.
That car had been sent 3,000
miles for the specific purpose of
drawing North Carolinians to the
Pacific Coast and it is . drawing
them. The census department
calculates that North . Carolina
has already contributed 2,000,000
of her citizens to other common
wealths. We needed every one
of those men and women, needed
them desperately, to develop our
own resources, and we should
liave been drawing on the con
gested center of the North, in
stead of contributing our own
people to build up tho waste
places 'of the west.-.;' '
Yet the task of advertising
North Carolina is too stupendous
and undertaking for any one man
or any dozen men. It is a mat
ter that demands the co operation
of the sfate at large, and as Mr.
Forester points out, it is a thing
that should 'be attended to at
once, before the wave of prosp-
ertv that we all believe is , near
at hand gets well started over the
country. .
