That would be bad enough,but the worst of it is.that the clerks don’t al- ways get themoney.Some members pay out only a'part of the allowance for clerical-assistance,but they collect italland put the remainder in their pockets.Sometimes two combine and hiré a stenographer to do the work of both for the salary of one and divide the rake-off On top of this extravagance,the House voted down an amendment of- fered by “Representative Page,of North Carolina,to reduce the mileage allowance from 20 cents a mile to 5 public road or highway,to take or cause to be taken or carriéd away any| gravel,sand,clay,rock,soil,stoneor | other material which maybenecessa- ry to construct;improve or repairsaidroads,together with the free in- arene and egress from said roads for e transportation of said material. That if any’owner of land,or the agent or agents of said owner having in charge lands from which stone, gravel,soil,sand,clay or rock oroth- er material was taken;as aforesaid, shall present an account for the same to the board of county commissioners or to the superintendent,‘it shall be and reasonable price for the same;and any owner,agent or agents shall have the right to appeal from’saidboardto'the Superior Court fo deter- mine the value of such.stone,sand, clay,soil,rock,gravel or other mate- rial;but said board of commissioner, vented-from entering uponany lands- as aforesaid,and using material.as aforesaid at any time desired,wheth- er the claim of.the owner is made ay to or after the entry upon saidndforsaidmaterial. The road law was published and discussed in the road bond campaign.| Objection was offered by:opponents of the bonds to these two sections,as the files of The Landmark will show, and it was pointed out that this part of the law was not.new;that it had been incorporatedintothe Iredell road law by the Legislature of 1909; that whether the bonds were voted and the road law adopted or not,that these two sections had been a part of the road law for two years.These identical sections are exact copies of sections 9 and 10 of chapter 638,laws of 1909,entitled ‘‘An act relating.to macadam roads’in Iredell county,”’ and this act was passed,as was the road bond law,by Senator Long and Representatives Turlington and Tom- jin in the Legislature of 1909. If,as reported,the road matter isfiguringinpoliticsandpromises,ofspecialfavors,so to speak,dre beinmade,the people of the county should $400,000 was voted to build roads and cents.The actual cost of the mileage does not .exceed 3 cents,'if it is so much,’and the rémaining 17 centsisa rake-off for the Congressmen.Old Jo Cannon led the fight against the reduction and it isa pleasure to say that all the North Carolina members voted for it./ .Fora set of brazen grafters,¢om- mend us to the majority of members of Congress.Republicans and Demo- crats alike,they are tarred with the same stick.So long,however,asthe people .permit such grafting without grow worse.The people have them- re to blame.The remedy is with them. A correspondent of the Salisbury’ Post who has been gathering:infor- mation on the important question of salaries vs.fees,has the following in Tuesday’s Post: ~The galary system for county of- ficers has been im vogue in Wake county for less than a year but.al-ready the county~ean see that there will be a saving of from $7,000 to $8,000 for the first year and’this amount to be greatly increased year after year. The allowance-for salaries,clerk hire,etc.,in Wake is very liberal. A gentleman familiar with,the gf- fairs of the county gaye the allowan- ces for officers could be.cut very materially for the betterment of :the service.If with a very liberal dalary list Wake has saved $7,000 to.$8,000 the.first year,it means |that the Baving will be greatly in- ;cereased later,for the saving the first year ig always less.The a- mount saved in Guilford.county Was very nearly doubled —increasing from $7,000 to 1$12,000—in three years.If the peoplé of Iredell want to abolish an‘antiquated method of doing \business and adopt a modern method at hess cost,they will adopt the salary:system.. Prof.Godbey,of the Asheville Ga- -zette-News,is moved to indignation because,as he is informed!and be- lieves,at least two men in Asheville, “alleged Southerners.or near-South- every taxpayer.is’interested in its .proper expenditure for that purpose.

Meither Cotton Weigher Nor Tow Responsible.for Los.of Cotton. Raleigh News and Observer. A.somewhat unusual case was de-cided by the Supreme Court of North Carolina last Wednesday. of Gastonia for:the loss-of two balesofcotton.The town of Gastonia had an official cotton weigher and requir- ed all cotton to be weighed by:him. ‘These two bales were brought to,the platform,weighed and were left on the platform for the convenience of the North State Cotton Co..and some-how the-twe balés-disappeared.’It is iy alleged in the complaint that-eith- r Mr.Wilson.or the town of Gas- ‘eae took the bales,but it is alleged that the bales were lost through their negligence and the suit is for the val- ue of the two bales. The Supreme Court,ina percuriam‘opinion,states that neither the weigh- er nor-the town assumed custody of the cotton or in any wise became bailee thereof.The plaintiff might well have stood by while his cotton was being weighed and immediately have taken it away.Neither the weigher nor the town held itself out out a8 bailee nor agreed to furnish warehouse facilities.Their entire duty was done when the cotton wasweighed..It was the plaintiff's fault, and at his own risk,that he left the cotton on theplatforin instead of tak- ing it away. A Defect in Our- |Baltimore Sun. |-The Titanic wreck has again direct- led attention to the fact that the gener- jal maritime jurisprudence of the Unit- }ed States affords no right of civil re- jcovery for the death of a person onithehighseas.Lawsof variousStates of the Union and those of some of the maritime countries of Europe afford this right,butin an American court of admiralty no suit can be maintained to recover damages for the death of a person. The facts have been called.to:the public attention in articles recently published by Mr.George Whitelock,of the Baltimore bar.Mr.Whitelock is one of a committee of the Maritime Law Association that is formulating a law to remedy this flagrant omission. The association will meetin New YorkonFriday,and at this meeting the sub-ject and the draft of the proposed law will be considered.When the.draft has been approved it will besubmitted to Congress for enactment and its en- actment should be assured.We can see no just reasen-why common.car- riers on’the sed’should be exempt from the penalties for negligence any more than common carriers on the land..On the contrary,as human life is considered more in jeopardy on the sea,the laws should be so framed as} to compel every.care and safeguard.

Every yearwhen the graded school, “lets out’®there are numerous boys on the streets looking for work.‘A few ofthe boys want work because they are disposed_to -be fndustrious ‘and want to make something;others look for work.because their parents send them,as they know it will be bet ter for them to be at work;’that loaf: ing’on<the street,assailed by the temptations that meet’an idle boy a evéry turn,is distinctly bad for them Not all the boys are really anxious to work of course.‘Few,boys are zeal »ous inthatmatter.:Allof them should ‘have;however,some sort of employ-| -ment to keepthem out of mischiefand |,\fox the additional reason’that ‘early. “straining in habits of discipline and in- :dustry—a.realization that hemust toil : is invaluable to the boy:- Unfortunately:work can be found ‘«for only a small proportion’of the |' boys.In addition to the boys from the graded school a number of youths ‘come in from college who want work Summer is the dullduringvacation .season in business.’Mostof thestores and offices,and sometimes theindus- me trial-plants,lay off employes instead of taking them on during the summer. In other establishments,like The Landmark effice,for instance,,where ‘applications are frequently made,a full quota of men must be employed all the time and itis rare there is a vacancy. The great difficulty then is to get work,but the trouble isthattoo many ‘of the boys are too choice about the character.of the work.What The Landmark is going to say wort please| the boys nor some of the parents,but it is sensible.Only a few of the boys can get the easy jobs—the sort of barrested at Omaha,Neb. _work’that all boys in all-ages have looked for.Only.a few will be want- ed at the soda water.fountains,in the stores or in the offices.Some wil work in the factories. The Landmark asks,Why not garden “jing,mowing lawns,ete,if nothing better offers?That isa field that is! not overworked.Nine-tenths of the Statesville people have work about gardens and yards for which it is al- most impossible to getadequate labor. Why don’t the boys who profess t want td work and can find none,lear to tend a garden,to.trim a hedge, mow a lawn,etc.?A good,active boy,who.showed that he .wanted t do something and meanttodoit,could soon get all the work he could do; and while doing this work he would be learning something.Knowing how to cultivate a garden,tritn a hedge or ‘keep a lawn in order is valuabl knowledge—knowledge that would b .worth while to the boy inafter years, even if he should become a million- aire. This suggestion is not of course in- ‘tended for the high-toners,who rate _their services at $2 or $3 per day:be- fore they know how to do anythin but smoke a cigarette and read th baseball score,but it is for{the bene- _fit of the boy who has ta make his way,who'really wants to do-some- =thing and who isn’t above any sort of It is just as well to re- cessful men begin at the foot of.th ladder;that some of the greatest men and some of the wealthiest men th country has knownbegan life inhum- ble capacities.
