THE GASTONIA W. r. MARSHALL, EdtUr and PrMri.Lr. UEVUICU TO THE PROTECTION Of HOME AND VOL. XXIV. EMINENT UTTERANCES « 4 4 4 4 0.1 A A A A A TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Under this head will l>e printed from time to lime Noteworthy utterance* om tAomaa of correct inter***. They will be taken from public iddtnMt bookn. mafnetnee, newspapers. m fact wherever we mar find than. Some timee these sr led lass will accord with oar vltwt and the views of our read era. sometime* the opposite will be trne. But by reason of the anbject mailer, the styk. the authorship, or (be news expressed, each will have an element of timely interest tn make it a comepimoom utterance. Mara Csnvealaal lo tba Largasl N amber. J.locola Joarntl Gastonia is making a determined effort to have the county seat moved from Dallas to that place. An election will be held on April 22nd. Since Gastonia ia the center of the trade for the county, it teems that the court house at that place would be more convenient to the largest number of the citizens. • A Pact That Ought ta Imprest. aitkc Johnson In ProcrtMlvt Ktrnrr. There is one thing that 1 would like to impress on the uiiml of every cotton laiser, and that is, that it takes the same labor for an acre whether the yield is three hnndred or twelve hnndred pound*. * * * * Plant the best ground and let what is worn out grow pine timber for fnture generations. Tbs Morally Stunted Cam* Ua Smiling. Ctuuloll* ObNfttr. You never know how the Morally Stunted are going to look at a thing or what they are really thinkiug. Here in North Carolina when the Watts liquor bill was introduced in the Legislature and while It was under discussion they screamed as if they were being half killed. Siuce it has passed and the Legislature has adjourned you can see one of them grin a quarter of a mile. ——i-w i a 3—a— Adyke that Pleased the Devil. Ch&rtottt Pmhjignta SUndiid. We wonder if the devil does not appland the sentiment that the preacher should never preach politics, as that phrase is gen erally meant, namely, that he should never "cry aloud and spare not” such institutions of evil as the saloon and the lottery. It was a saloon politician who advised a Baptist editor the other day that it would l>e a great deal better for him just to edit his paper, and let "politics” alone. The Pater* al Ireland. Richmond Ncwa-leader, The British empire practically is an enormous republic-and the tendencies of its government and customs and of the spirit of its people are becoming more sttongly republican year after year. We do not believe the Irish people scattered all around this planet will celebrate many more Patrick’s days with the feeling that they are representatives of an unhappy aud a backward country. Prob ably Ireland never will be separated from the British empire but all the aigns indicate that before very long she will be given full rights and considerations and opportunity as part of the empire, and will be allowed to obtain the development to which her natural strength of soil, situation and population entitle her. Redact** the Tariff a Remedy Against High Price*. Kx-Scuiot Vwt. of Mluomri. "I do not think that taking the duty from anthracite coal has completely broken down the Dingley tarriff law, but it certainly baa caused the lowering of prices and committed the Republicans to the admission that taking off or reducing tariff duties on the trust article# is the proper remedy for the relief of the American consumer. They were compelled either to repudiate the recom mendation of President Roosevelt that the duty should be taken from anthracite coal or admit that he told the truth in his message when he said that taking off the duty would give a remedy, in the event of a crisis in coal prices. "If removing the duty in the case of anthracite coal is jthe proper remedy in order to escape from the clutches of the coal ba tons, the same remedy Is the proper one in the case of all other truat* and from thia there is no possible escape. The trusts are created and sustained by the enormous duties of the Dingley law, and the Democrats should make the fight in 1904 for a revision of the tariff." __» The Hot# •! Every Pei thief Preacher. Chariest* PreabnsrUa katiri a , We have always felt a warm admiration for Mr. Cleveland’* ciWc virtues. We are rather proud of having ridden forty-two milea on horseback to cast a vote for him. While we understand fully the opposition to him both iu Its strength sod its sincerity wc have hoped that with the pawing of the years and the certainty that be was beyond the reach of any further political activities or ambitions, he would reap this side the grave the reward of honor that history is certain to bestow upon him. However that may be the testimony which he gave lost week, regarding the influence upon bis life of one sermon, is well worth r«pasting and suggests its own lessons of helpfulness sod cheer. It is more thau probable that the sermon is one of the forgot ten sermon* thst Beecher preached, that the parable of the two young men that so seised the inlud and heart of a simple country boy, the son himself of a Presbyterian preacher, was bnt the ex sltation of the commonplace. Blit now, fifty years afterwards, this boy has become one of the famous men of America, thrice nominated and twice elected to the Presidency, carrying in all *“*?! V1,"** ™*Jorlty of the suffrage* of bis countrymen and leaving for all that came niter him traditions of Integrity in oflBce and the unswerving purpow. to do.the right ■■ he saw thy right, which is one of the heartening influence* in politics and government for this tweatieh century. And the man attriHoi • modestly, his own fixedness of character to the influence of an illustration of a sermon. What a reward that, for the praachcr of the Gospel I Who know* into what fertile soil the seed may fall! Here ia the hobe of every faithful worker (or Christ, that by the bleselug of God, in the yem to come, the corn of wheat that fell to the ground and died may bring forth fruit an band red fold. A NEGRESS IN “SOCIETY.” 0o« d tli* New York 406 Doee the Cake Walk Wilk a Colored Seokrette al Dolmsuico's. X*w York Proa. Gleefully ignoring the "color line,” Robert Hargou* wallxed with Mr*. Ada Overtoil Walker, a dark-skinned brunette, ut his dinner in honor of Mr*. Arthur Puget, !ii Delinouico's a few nights ago. A crowd of fashion able folk viewed the uuusual dance. To be sure, Mrs. Walker was there as a hired entertainer, but she acquitted herself as a "good fellow” so commendably that H argons ordered the orchestra to play a waits. He bowed gal* lastly to tbe dusky matron, aud with her wooly pate cushioned on his shirt front they danced. This recognition of the equality of the races was made in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. de Forest, Mrs. Frederic Ncilson, Mr. and Mrs. Jules S. Dacbe, Mr. Arthur Paget, -Mr. and Mrs. William Jay, Mr. and Mr*. T. J. Oakley Rhinelander, I Elisha Dyer, Jr., Mrs.. George I Law, James V. Pareer, Charles M. Robinson and Stuyvesant Lc i Roy. • * Not was the host the only one to honor the dancer. For an hour Mrs. Walker enjoyed the attention of all the guests, and before she bade farewell to tbe chivalrous Hargou* they danced a cake walk, that is, Mrs. Walk er dauced and Hargons manipu lated tbe cane and nis handker chief. DAKCED AT PARTIES. The dusky dancer followed up her triumph by appearing in Mra. Paget’s apartment in the Waldorf on the next afternoon, and when Mrs. George Law gave a dinner on the following night Mrs. Walker was again the bright particular star. Now that all society is aghast at the recklessness of elevating a colored actress to its own high level, public denials are forth coming, but Harry Seauion, of Hnrtig and Seaman, who escor ted Mrs. Walker to Delmonico's affirms that she danced with Hargous. She uow has a record that Paderewski, Hthel Barry more, Kate Barry or other pro fessional favorite* of society nev er have equaled. She will follow up her social conquest. She will go abroad soon—after she has finished teaching the fashionable women under Mrs. Paget’s auspices how to dance the cakewalk, the ser pentine and buck-and-wing. On next Monday afternoon she will have her first class in the Wal dorf. To belong to this class is a distinction barely overabad ed by being on Mrs. Astor’a in vitation list. Although Mrs. Walker made her debut in society only a few nights ago, she has acquired some high bred mannerisms. Her "a’s” have broadened. Her conversation is punctuated by ''Really now,” "Don’tyou know" and "Oh fancy!” In ber dress ing room in a Broadway theatre last night she was preparing for her soubrette role. Blise, a slightly duskier maid, was piling high the midnight "kinks" of the young woman. Mra. Walker waa arrayed in a white aflk eider down robe. "AM, VltRY PKOl'RK, YOV KNOW." "Really, now, thia is astonish iff-" 't JTby ,houM all thia fuss be made? I was Ur Hargons's partner for a waits, and we cake-walked together. It was all very proper and rather good aport, and I found the din ner company charming, yon know. My hatband was not with me. Thst is not fashion able you know. Mr. Searnon was my escort. When 1 came in they were playing bridge. Then I tang a bit and danced a bit, and there you are. I was there foT an hoar or more. No indeed I was not entertaining all the while. What was I doing? Oh, chatting—small talk, you know. "Do you know all thia notorie ty ia moat annoying to me? My rouge now, Klise. What gown did I wear that night? ' Aren’t yon rather inquisitive?

"It la miarepresentation to say there was any familiarity with the girl who sang," said Mrs. ; Arthur Paget. "I u« no on? dance with her and all this* gos sip is tnost ridiculous.’' "1 know nothing of Mrs. Walk er or the occurrence iu Dcliuou ico’at” said Robert H argons. "Beside* it W a subject I ptefer not to diKru**." "The colored' woman w«» nt my house as a hired entertainer, and no more," said Mrs. George I.aw. "Ofcouise, she wns treat ed with politeness by every otic. How else should a servant be treated by men aud women of breeding? This girl danced and sang amusingly, and that is all tlie'c is to it. Naturally we re sent the avalanche of gossip her managers are rousing. "1 call this unmitigated impu dence” said one of the guests. "It will teach ua to select our en tertainers with care. I know the girl is not responsible for the hurrah-’ It was her manager who brought her to the dinner and who will reap the benefit* of this nauseating notoriety. It would be an injustice to our host to ssy whether he waltsed with the young woman. Some per sons left tne dinner, yon know, before Mrs. Walker did.” PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS ON II Opus la Claclaoatl. a Pad Which Kekody Caa Deay. Kew VoA nvoatas Pox. It it astonishing how early and at how many different, places the Presidential campaign of 1904 begins. We intended to claim the real starting point for New York, by showing that the fate of both parties would depend up ou the success of some candidate for mayor next fall, but Senator Foraker baa anticipated us by announcing that Cincinnati baa superior claims. The Democrats of that city have nominated Mr. Ingalls, the well known railway maoager, lot mayor, and the Re publicans have named a Mr. Fleischmann, not believed by Foraker to be "eqnally as good.” The overwhelming reason, ac cording to Foraker, why Fleisch inann should lie elected is that "this is tbe beginning of the great campaign of next year.” He says "it is impossible to dis guise this fact,” from which we infer that tbe Democrats are do ing everything possible to con ceal it, and are pretending that nothing but municipal Issues, such as tbe rule of Boss Cox, ore fit to be considered. Foraker will tear off that mask. He will show that not only in Cincinnati but in all the cities of the Union the Democrats are making lie lie ve that they trre trying to re form local abuses while they are actually aiming to defeat the Re publican party next year. The proof of this is that "everywhere they are preaching harmony and perfecting tbeir organization.” What better evidence could you have than that? If they were everywhere preaching dis cord and allowing their organiza tion to fall to pieces there might be some ground for saying that the nomination of such a man aa In galls was intended for tbe sole benefit of Cincinnati, but when they are avowedly harmonious and energetic their designs must be dark indeed. In sbott, For aker thinks that if Ingalls is elected mayor he will be'inline (ot the governorship of Ohio, and the Presidency.” Thstwonld be awful. Fianderfbi Um Fribltc Bnxli. UotUn UmM. The secret of some of the hos tility to the President that has grown up iu the far Western States is due to bis inclination to prevent the "rustlers* and land robbers of those States from doing tbe nation a vast amount of barm. Tbe mountain States are opposed to making national reservations of fovest lands so that the plunder of them may be regulated. Tlidr politicians are as they always have been, the allies of the pluuderers of tbe publie domain. No measure looking to the effec tive staying of the ravagera of mountain slopes that are public land can be proposed in Congress without encountering tbe prompt hostility of Western Senators and Congressmen, who are indiffer ent to the public iuterest iu pub lic propeity. Also, there ia go ing on in some of the Western States an organized system oi fraudulent Imid grabbing by ob taining fake settlers to take up land in order to trgnfer their holdinga to syndicates who design controlling it ia a mouopoly. Sills aiming to put a stop to this and similar plundering schemes bad no show in a Congress con trolled by Republicans. William Holt and auegr o umn were killed IMdey at Midi Point by the bursting of a fly wheel on a feed cutter which they were operating. EASTERN AND WESTERN MEN. Tie Will la Always Prepared la Supply tho Demand lar Eat An* ■issm. Chirac* Tribute. President Hliot, of Harvard College, ban of late been c*. posing tlic weak spots in polili* cal life, in tlic Krliool admiiiistra •i°n. iu tlic religious situ at ion, iu the domestic economy, and iu racial responsibility. He bus announced tit a n v theories, floated several airy speculations, sonnded many keynotes, and kindly pointed out ualional aad individual incompctencies, big and little, sometimes in an airy and dalightfnl and sometimes in a grave and sorrowing manner. As a rule bis strictures have beeu cheerfully received bv the public, the only fault found, peiliaps, being that they follow each other so rapidly that one is not digested before two or three more are tendered. Usually deference has been Paid to President Eliot’s sug gestion*. Once in a while, how ever, protest has to be made, aud such an occasion is mow at hand. The whole "wild and woolly West" will rise np in protest against bis latest declara tion that "Eastern men seem to get things done and accomplish their purpose* quicker than Western men. The difference between Eastern and Western men, 1 notice, is that Eastern men bottle np tbeir enthusiasm, while Western men let it pop ont. Enthusiasm la natural steam. It doesn't become effective unless it is coufioed. It most be coufioed in the cylinder and not let out except to do work." This is a most extraor dinary statement. Has Presi dent Eliot been much in the West? Does he know much of the Western cyclone, the West ern rough rider, the Western cowboy, the Western hustler, the promoter, aud the Western busi ness man? Bathsuiasiii? Why, enthusiasm is the natimd product of the West, as it is of all new places. Who looks for euthasiacin in old, conservative communities, where routine is religion and tradition is law. and precedent dictates action? There is so much enthusiasm in the West that it will not stay bottled. It is working all the time, and the ferment is so strong that if it did not find vent the bottle would have to go. The boundless rural West is manufacturing enthusiasm all the time and supplying it to its cities. Wheu the cities get- an oversupply, a* happens every now and then, it is sent to the East. Chicago alone has stocked Mew York, and Boston, aud * Philadelphia w ith enthusi asm. It has seat them enthusi astic students, professors, minister*, lawyers, politicians, merchants, financiers, and pro moters. They are the men w ho, according to President Eliot, are "getting things done and ac complishing their purposes quickly." The West is the great supply depot of enthusiasm for the East. That efft-ie section might get stagnant were it not for the supply of "I Wills" which the wide-a-wake West is con tinually sending to it. Even the country's President, streaa ous as he is by nature, comes West every chance he can get for a re-enforcement of err Uuai asm. If the president of Har vard would follow his example more frequently the pace of Harvard would be greatly ac celerated and the president would have some difficulty la keeping (he bottle corked. 0« Ike Point a!
