A good many towns that have es- tablished recorder’s courts have pro- vided that lawyers may be judges of these courts and may also practice law at the same time.The people ‘want to havé a care for that sort of ‘thing hereafter -if the construction laid down by jthe Asheville police court judge is to hold,He main- tains that it is not his business to instigate prosecutions,no matter how much he may hear about infractions of the law;and that if actual eyvi- dence of violation of law come to him in his capacity as attorney he cannot use the information thus gained in his capacity as judge.If that is the jdea,better get a hard-headed lay- man ‘for police court judgd.The combination of lawyer ahd judge is calculated t6 paralyze law enforc®- ment. With a fine record for \material progress and an encouraging ad- wance,it is believed,ip mental and moral achievement,we can,as a com- munity,a county and a State,at the beginning of the New -Year-—1914, thank God-and take courage.\The future promisee well.The oppor- tunities are many.With energy,in- dustry and enterprise we can—God willing—make a better record in the year that lies before us.There are many things to be done for the public welfare and the genera!betterment, which includes the welfare of every individual,locally and génerally,and it is our privilege to apply ourselves to the task.May all Fhe Landmark’s readers have the best year of their lives is the sincere wish of this pa- per;and better still,may we all 80 apply ourselves.that whatever hap- pens we can say,“I have kept my rudder truc.”tenetrtentmmnsntenner "The news a few days ago indicat- “ed ‘that they had about persuaded Gen.J.S,Carr to enter the guber- natorial race,but the general has settled the matter by saying that he is not a candidate.As the Charlotte Observer put it,he “has drawn his ‘purse strings tight together and made a double knot in them.”Sensible Gen.Carr...No man in the State has done more for the State and its citizenship or more for-the.Demo- cratic party than Gen.Carr.Thou- ~Sandsofhis~friends—throughout—the}State would be pleased to sec him “made Governor,pleased to see him honored for the good he has donc, But these honors are not distributed as a matter of sentiment nor do they always go to the most deserving;and the friends of Gen,Carr’s who.re- membered the past and knew he ‘would stand no show against the poli- ‘@enial sent out from Raleigh. ticians,did not want t6see himen- ter a hopeless race.Those will ap- plaud his decision,however much they may want to see him have what they feel he deserves.” A friend of The Landmark who has had experience in military mat- ters,insists that Mr.J.L.Alexander of Asheville is a member of the Gov- ernor’s staff,notwithstanding ©the He says that all military officers appoint- ed by the Governor,whose terms ex- pire with the term of the Governor, have always been accounted members of the Governor's staff,and it is such position that Mr.Alexander holds. It makes no difference whether Alex- ander is,strictly speaking,a mem- ber of the Governor’s staff or what not;he was appointed to his posi- tion by the Governor.and in view of *the fact that he has figured in a ser- jous antl aggravated violation of the law,this paper has contended that the proprieties demand his voluntary or involuntary retirement.So far as outward and vigible indications ;“go,Alexander is not going to be re- ann ce tired,but that doesri’t alter the situ- ation..The Landmark believes that his retention under the circumstances is a distinct discredit to the State and its citizenship.We present an a,spectacle,indeed,trying to prestige’as a prohibition State wand a record for.law-enforcement, when one guilty of open and notori ous infraction of the law is allowedi0continueinofficial:station.%,rte Lumber.Bridge,|Robeson »Tuesday,Carl Grakam and McMillan,young men,start-anting and enga:in «“friend-over a gun,Graham was}and it was derided thatwaspurelyack’ Th — 8. ee LIVE [TEMS OF STATE N |Accidents,Crimes arid Incidents ofLifeintheOldNorthState. land hospital in Asheville,committed suicide by pushing a toothbrush into her throat.Charlie B.Swaim of.Winston- Salem,according to the Journal,ate three pounds of marshmallows at one clip a few days ago and claimstheworldchampionshipinthat.line.E.M.Koonce of Qnelow is in the race for Congress im the third dis-~ trict.His entry is the fifth—Faison, present incumbent;Guion and Thom-as of New Berne and Hood of Golds- boro.Cotton:gin.and equipment of G, W.Earnhardt of No.5 township,Ca- barrus county,burned Tuesday by fire of unknown origin:Loss.esti- mated at $2,000,with $1,000 insur- ance.

Little Atheists Rule a Public School. The Continent. It is a sinister story which comes out of Brooklyn—the story of a group of boys and girls in eighthgradeofpublicschoolswhorefused in morning exercises of their school-room -to sifig-any songs.whieh,refer.red to God.And the still more sin- ister note of the story is the sup- plement which states that the chil- dren had their way about it; school authorities ordered all songs dropped which had any religious sug- gestion in them.The children-—as- toundingly precocious atheists—said callously that they didn’t believe any longer that there is a God and so they were not going to sing about Him. Could anything more startlingly exhibit the.pass of peril:to which the country has brought itself by stu- pidly letting go of morals and relig- ion in the public schools in order to protect—the schdols against sectari- ahism—the ignorant bigotry of the atheist?Does anybody imagine that a generation of such & who do not believo in ~Gcu could gee into citizens fit to carry.out the estiny of the republic?

We went up to an old temple in the mountains not,far from here,As we desired to do a good déal of walk- ing we hired one donkey for both. The temple was reached before dark. The priests and others’received us cordially,took us to the guest room and sought to make us comfortable. We went up to the top of the moun- tain to see the sun set'and the moon ingrebellion.The mountains are except for a few scrubby pine trees and a little grass here and.there.In the valleys below one could seeinvisiblysomefourorfivehundyedvillagesinwhicharemanytens.ofthousands.of souls,and the blackmistandsmokethathung.over.thoseVillageswasnotequaltothe.heath-en darkness in the hearts of —themanymen,women and children there.

When the temple was reached a} lunch was eaten amd Dr.Gaston went | back to Laichowfu to meet his Sun-| day treatment ‘of patients and to be| on hand for any special cases that might be brought for treatment. When those at the temple had eat- en their supper they gathered in the} guest room where I was to sleep,and I preached to them and sang some hymns for them.They gave good attention.The old cook,who had heard the gospel in Manchuria,seem ed especially impressed.The priest is well.acquainted with us.all,for we sometimes go up to the mountain for a few days’rest each summer.| Knowing him well I preached to him ||plainly and showed him that no,trust could be put in the idols,but that he| must turn to the living God if he| would haye eternal life.My prayer| that night was that God might use the message to the salvation of some |of those men,who doubtless have no faith in the gods they would have others worship-and would.reluctantly give up/their office because of the good living afforded\by the large tracts of farming land that have in err past been donated to the tem- ple.t Smoked Out. It was my purpose to get up.early next morning (Sunday)for an early start to some villages over the moun- tain,but an incident aroused me earlier than I had bargained for.Just before 4 o’clock I was awakencd by smoke and found the room so suffo- cating one culdn’t endure it.The wind was blowing “hard,so I supposed the smoke was blowing in from the out- side,I covered up my head,only to!find that under the covers it was even | more unendurable,for the smoke was coming up through the thin mat of the bed beneath me,on which my | bedding had been pluced.There wag| nothing to do but grab a:few clothes,| run out in the cold and put them on} in the moonlight.A poy was mak-| ing a fire under the “goa,”-a kind | of kettle,in 9 room some distance| away.I called him to come,and up- on seeing the smoke he said:“Wh the qasons forgot to stop u hole there under your bed.”B from one room to another to hgat the| dirt beds that .re used in wjAter.1 was sleeping on a kind of.wgoden bed put in the room temporar#fy.It had been placed,just over a Hole through which all the smoke was coming from | the big kettle arrangement some dis-| tance away where the boy was mak-| ing fire for breakfast.My clothes|and bedding still smell from that| smoke,for it kept ‘up more than an | hour,_and.was-very-.strong,weeds.and|grass being burnt in the “goa.” Worship in the Temple. No sooner had I got my clothed on than-daily worship began in’the\bigtempleroomadjoiningmine.“The head priest and the two boys who aré studying to become priests were con- ducting worship.Of course I went in to.see...Worship was begun.by first falling prostrate before the:old image of Buddah mounted upon a large lotus flower.Then there were three taps on a big drum,the lighting of incense,and beating of ~drums, cymbals and a hollow piece of wood, and the singing of chants.This was kept up for three-quarters of an hour.At the close there was a piece of musi¢ Dur-ing all this time there were repeated bows before the ‘idol and replenish-ing of the incense.This old temple was built 1,100 years ago,and I supposé that wor- ship has been kept up continually thewholetime.In front of the temple are two large trees said to be some two hundred years old.One of the inscriptions reads:°“He who would have Lepateens let him worship,”but a great deal depends on what andwhomoneworships..The Chinese have a sense of reverence and wor- ship.May God help us to turn their worship from graven images to a true worship of Himself,but He is aiding us,and the time will come wheh “every knee shall.bow and every tongue confess that Christ isLord.”In the temple.court was a flock of pure white chickens in whomthespiritsofdeceasedpriestsaresupposedtoexist, View From Mountain Top.\we LsBysthriseIwasmaking my WaypPsmountain.Along the way could~be seen bird cages with trapdeors.to catch song birds for themarket.~(The Chinese are fond of song birds.)Ones updén the moun- tain top a beautiflil sight was to beseen——several “mountain ranges totheeastandsouth,plains to thenorthandwestandtheseainthe trecitation, }the school and a |gathered in the afternoon to hear the Pe off Lamusing -to greetings and talk to them about their soul’s salvation,Some had heard the gospel and believed,One man had received a tract entitled, “Truth Seught and Found,”and was much impressed with it.

There was a 30 to 40 million ton increase in coal production in the United States for 1913 despite-labor disturbances in Colotado,the inter- ference’of the Ohio floods last spring and a general complaint on the part of_coal operators.that they were uh-able to work their mines at full ca- pacity,because of shortages in thelabormarket. According to estimates made pub- lic tonight by Edward W.Parker,coal statistician of the geological survey, there was_a total production of be- tween,565,000,000 and 575,000,000 tons at the end of the present.year. The increased output is said to be normal—“an index of the general in- dustrial activity of the country.” Coal:mining in the Ohio Valley States was handicapped by —spring floods and probably from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons of coal would have beén added to the year’s output “but for the great disaster,”Mr.Parker asserts, The decrease in the production of fuel oil in the midcontinental oil fields and the strikein|Colorado,Mr.Parker says,has resulted in an in-creased output of coal in the South- west and Eastern Statés.

What shall we say then of the guar-dians of the homes and fiorals of the community who sleep at the switch, or divide with the midnight criminal the toll he exacts from the communi-ty? In almost every community there is more or less laxness. not be downright there is carelessness and favoritism; neglect.to enforce certain laws through carelessness or through fa- voritism.It is the favoritism that breeds corruption.If it be under- stood that the offences of certzin peo- ple are to be overlooked;pr:that if cognizance is taken of the offence the offender is to go ‘with tight punish- ment or po''punishment,because he has g.pull”or friends-at court,then é’whole structure of law enforco- ‘ment fails.It is but a step from corruption;but favor extended is for a favor receiv- ed and any -sort of favoritism is in a sense a bribe..Bribery in the mild form by natargl-evolution soon be- comes bribery the worst form.

Mr.Rosenwald is co-operating with Andrew Carnegie and Vincent Astor and others,Dr.Gould said.It is prob- able that Dr.Gould will be head.of the system of.banks,the first of which is to be established in Chicago with a capital of -several hundred thousand dollars.“I have ,studied the systems abroad,”Dr.Gould said,“and confer- red with others as to the practica- bility of its adoption in America,In reality it is not @ banking system but a system of:credit and loan. There are 15,700 institutions in Ger- many of this kind and they are con-trolled by a central institution.The whole idea is to establish credit for the small man on the basis of cbar-acter just as is done in Italy,Aus- tralia;Germany and Ireland.” The -banks .will make loans of small amounts—as low as $10—as is done by Italian banks of the same character which were founded by Signor Jussot,the Itahan minister of finance,who is a close friend of Mr Rosenwald.An attempt will be madc, as is done in Europe,to encourage only such patronage as is too small for ordinary profit-making,-the inter- est rate only sufficient toepay actual expenses of handling the account. rding to Dr.Gould the found- ers aim to eliminate*the loan ‘office evil all over the country,which en- courages the small man to borrow beyond his means and which extorts such high rates of interest that a borrower is seldom able to repay the debt.No loans will be made with- out evidence that the money is to,be used for legitimate purposes. Another feature will-be the issuing of certificates in small denominations purchasable on small weekly or monthly payments and bearing 5.pers cent interest,which is a rate far above that ordinarily allowed by savings banks.These certificates will Ac be redeemable on demand.A work- ingman is thus encouraged to invest I savings.

It is not aoe to learn that Reptesentative Glass of Virginia,the author of the currency bill,is not a banker or a lawyer,but a newspaper man.The average newspaper man has to devote more study to the mon- ey question than to any other,for it is always a serious problem with him to.get enough of the “needful” to make “buckle and tongue meet,” Mr.Glass’bil!will not be the means of money being handed to any of us on a silver waiter,but here’s hoping that it.will make.it easier for all of us who deserve it to get what is com- ing to us.2 The Charlotte Observer.learns that Mrs.Ella Flage Young,who was re- cently deposed as superintendent of Chicago public schools by a hostile school board and ‘then reinstated in Yesponse to the public demand;\has laiddown the law that children pu.t be taught in school.That is to say, hercafter in Chicago,if Mrs.Young’s orders are-observed,as no doubt they will be,the school teachers will do what they are paid to do—teach the children in ‘school instead.of merely he>-ing the children recite the les- sons their over-burdened parents have been compelled to teach them at me.Gloty to Mrs.Young!By _that one act she has proved her fit- ness for the job sheholds. * A friend of licitor Hammer says the opposition to Mr.Hammer for district attorney is because he was one of the original Wilson sup- rters.From the viewpoint of the North Carolinians who labored earn- estly for the nomination of Mr Wil- son,it is a strong fact in Mr.Ham- mer’s favor that he was an earnest supporter of the New Jersey Gov- ernor.But in view of the fact that many—or most—of the importantFederalofficesintheStatehavebeenfilledbymenwhodidnotsupport Mr.Wilson for nomination,and thatthe-same influence which placed these erstwhile anti-Wilson men in office is supporting Mr.Hammer,theideathatheisbeingopposedforhis pré-convention Wilson proclivities,would seem to border on the absurd. *** The monthly session of.the board of commissioners of Buncombe coun- ty,Monday,was opened with prayerbyRev.Dr.C.B.Waller,pastor oftheFirstBaptistchurchofthatcity.The Citizen says this is an innova- tion on the part of the Buncombecommissionersandthatitisplannedtohaveeachmthlysessionoftheboardopened\with prayer by someeneofthemiristersofthecity.IfonemayjudgebyrecentoutcroppingsinAsheville,no people in the Statearemoreinneedofprayer—the fer-vent,effectual prayer of ‘the right- “eotis—than the officials of Asheville,and Buncombe county;and probablyiftheywouldextendtheprayefser--wice to the opening..session of theboardofaldermenandthepolice wrought in the mountain metrop-olis.*+# It isn’t wise to dare too much. Sometimes the other fellow calls thebluff.In Virginia the other day two men fell out and one expressed__a desire to shoot the other if he had a gun.The other fellow got a gun,handed it to the man who professed to be itching to shoot and dared him to proceed:The fellow who was so .Accommodating as to get the gun fortheothermantoshoothimhasbeenburiedandthemanwhoaccepted the challenge is in jail.In Spencer Sere Sree ae nnn OCS,Andy t éwkirk and Sam Barber,foughtaboutawoman.Andy took Sam’spistolfromhim-and.beat his headalmosttoapulp.Then to furtherhumiliatehisunfortunaterival,Andy handed thepistol to Sam and dared him to shoot..Sam had strength enough to pull the trigger and_suffi- cient motor power to hike for the tall timber.The ball struck Andysquarelyintheforehead,but theskullwastoo.thick and it.ploughed around and came out at the top of his head,leaving him in such condi- tion that agfuneral may be necessary.If an indjidual expresses a desiré to porfor, lets,you are absolutely sure hasn’t a “weepin’”handy,you -might casually remark that he _wouldn’t shoot if he had the gun.But‘unless you are anxiots to quit this Mundane sphére,don’t be fool enough to put.a gun in his hands and dare him to fire.Many a man’talks threateningly about shooting whohasn’t the slightest idea”of burningpowder;but even the sorriest coward alive will ordinarily do somethingif | he is handed a gun and dared to pro- ceed,just when he has been Reaathinn of what he would do if he had a gun. .*7 The Attorney General of Minne- sota has decided that it is a violation of the State constitution to read the Bible inthe public schools of thatState.His opinion was based uponYhatofanotherAttorneyGeneral,who had previously ruled that open-t.the public schools of the State:prayer was unconstitutional,and»that he could #8@ no ‘constitutionaldifferencebetweenreadingthoBibleandpraying.enemne absurd6meneminentinChurandeducationalcircleskilledrhe d ofNorthCarolinaallowingtheBibletreadinthepublicachools,—-Chris. the at such a condi- Mnesota is onentsin’North forthe better.might | your hide with leadey) ere geredenetieeeereraeeetaenanne support f consti amend-the.Sat sated;Pnotbeprohibited,The purpose was toarnt to therevgtethe right.if they choose to ex it—to havethegreatest.ofall books read in theirschools.‘The“late Judge ArmfieldofStatesville,admittedly.one of thetestlawyersofhistimeinthetate,expressed the opinion yearsthat—reading-the Bible~in thepublicschoolswasaviolationofourconstitutionasitthenandnow,ex- ists.Many others hold the same.view,although little has ‘becn saidaboutit.It was to prevent the le-gal exclusion of the Bible from theschoolsthatpromptedmanypeopletosupporttheamendmentthatthe Legislature defeated.The LoudmarkisoftheopinionthattheMinnesotaAttorneyGeneralwhoruledthatthepublicschoolscouldnotbe“opened with prayer was following the logi- eal course when the Bible was ex- cluded.If reading the Bible in the schools is teaching religion -and tends to a union of Church and State,as some profess to believe,then op- ening the schools with prayer or sing- ing any sort.of religious song in the schools,should be ‘prohibited;andopeningsessionsoftheLegislature or of Congress with prayer would also come under the ban. **@ The people who think the “money power,”the trusts,etc.,who are ap- parently surrendering and coming in« to camp with promises to be-good;have “done quit all their worldly ways,”have another thought comingtothem.The New York Journal of Commerce,whose statements,as summarized by the Greenshoro News, appear in The Landmark today, makes it clear that New York has conceded nothing...Failing in their attempt to defeat the currency bill, the Wall Street crowd are now bend- ing their energies to control the ad- ministration of the lew,and the great- est danger to the success of the new currency law is yet to be overcome. If the same interests that have for se-long dominated the-finances of the country.control the administration of the’law,there will be little real change in conditions.The hearing in New York before Secretaries Mc- Adoo.and Houston,with reference to the location of the regional banks, has brought out evidence to support the statements of the Journal of Com- merce.The New York bankers are demanding that their territory be giv- en a regionc]bank that would rep- resent 40 to 50 per cent of the capi- tal of the entire system.They have so lang dominated the finances of the country that the idea that the gov- ernment should be administered in their interest is inbred.So far the Wilson administration has defeated the interests -at-every-turn.The tar~ iff and currency laws were enacted over the protests of the people who have so long fattened at public ex-pense.The danger is that the Dem- ocratic party ‘will weary in well do- ing;that it will take up the idea’that it has done cnough for the present— an idea expressed recently by VicePresidentMarshallandsomeofthe members of Congress—and will be content to rest on its arms.There is no danger that President Wilson will be obsessed by this delusion.Hewillkeephisruddertruetotheend.But the danger is that his support may fall away from him;that the emocratic majority in Congress may ke up the idea that no further leg-islation is needed.The *apparentyieldingoftheintereststopublic sentiment is obviously.for the pur- pose of furthering this idea.But thecountrywillnotbesafefromtheevilsofthepast,io inatter-howfair4thepromises,until such legislationisénactedaswillcompelthefulfill- ment of the promises;and,more im-portant still,there will not be safe- ty until the carying into effect ofthislegislation“is placed.in the hands of those who sympethize ‘with its aims and purposes;who have the capacity and the will to so,ad- minister the laws that the people shall receive the full benefits intend- ed for them.

Rey.C.E.Raynal’s Stirring Sermon —First Presbyterian Pastor Re- proves,Rebukes,Exhorts—The Punishment of Hell Awaits the In-different and Unrepentant—The Sins of the Day and the ThingsThatStandintheWay.¢ A sermon that attracted much in-terest among the con tion—asermon.that peprowne and rebukedpresentdayevilsandwarnedofthealmostforgottenpunishmentofhellforsinnersandpromisedtheloveandmercyofGodtothosewhoobeyHim—was that preached at the FirstPresbyterianchurchSundaymorn-ing by the pastor,Rev,Chas.E. Raynal.he Landmark is printing -}herewith a\gynopsis of theItisnotsensational,but is a plain,forcible and able presentation of the Truth:.Reprove,rebuke,exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine—II Timo-thy,4:2.: I come to you today with an im- portant matter.What I have to say is a great,imperative thing.Myauthorityisinthe-command set forth in these words,“I charge theethereforebeforeGodandtheLordJesusChristwhoshalljudgethe quick and the dead at His appearing’ and kingdom;Preach the word.” What I bring is a message about an urgent God.You must see,a8thewordsofthisScriptureunfoldbeforeyou,that while the world rests in its indifference today,above it is a jealous God calling upon you to be saved.He is a great,strong God.In His hand are the sanctionsofhAvenandhell.“He is a God of judgment and by Him actions areweighed.”He speaks with authori-ty.If you will not hear,He is’able to damn.The glory of the universe is as nothing before Him,and yet today,if you will hear and hzrden not your hearts,His message is a word of hope and love.tigTheGospelisthismessageandit is an.urgent Gospel.Sometimes when you read the Bible its appeals and entteaties,its reproofs and re- bukes,its calls and visions,become one great word.The onlyword..you can hear is the voice of God saying, Come!Caught up into a _great rhythm—beating in with a divine in- sistence,unquenchable,and refusingtobesilenced,is the pulse of theeverlastingmercycallofGod.“Turn ye,turn ye,for why will ye die?” i am commanded to “reprove andImustspeak with “all longsuffering.”The pa- itience and love of the God that will not let us go,must be in my heart, and yet I must speak with authority with the insistence of “liné upon line and precept upon precept.”In love I am to reprove,and rebuke,and exhort,until you hear.With - tience and humanity,because this Scripture applies to me before itdoestoyou.But I am commandedtoreprove,and rebuke and exhort.IfyouwillreadthepassageyouwillseethatthewholeBibleisgivenfor the same purpose.All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,and is profitable for reproof,for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” And now I must tell you what it is that God wants.This God that is so urgent—this Gospel that is so im- perative,this command that reproves and rebukes ‘and exhorts,is for this, God tells you:“That the man of God mav be perfect;thoroughly furnish- ed unto all good works.” IWalkingthrough this earth with hell yawning beneath your feet,with daily life endangering -your eternity, with the small claims of the life that is no life destroying your glo- riots destiny,God calls to you. “Thou shalt come with me through shadow and sun-I will lead thee;with dreams will I write upon thy faco, ever the glory that dwells with me.” If you are ready to hear,you mustfirstofallheartherebuke.~The perfect man furnidhed unto every good.work must first clear away the things that stand between God and his heart..I speak only in broad out- lines,but you will know your ownsin. your way is money.Getting it:and jspending it,we waste our days.

God made it and He knows how to do the zood and perfect thing.WhenGodwasshowingthislife,jn a cov- enant with Noah,He took’the rain- bow 2s a symbol of its beauty. When He was talking to Abraham about what He wanted to do for him, He told him to,look at the stzrs. When He was putting power into the hand of Jesus Christ,Christ was able to say,“Behold all power is de- livered unto.me,in heaven and in earth.”God gives you this.power to make you a man—a perfect mon, “furnished unto all good works.” 3.My message is not from an old book.It is a message of a living God.He is able to do what He saysHewilldo.Here is a true Bible.

Getting a Woman Out of a Job is a Proposition,Charlotte.Observer. Depend upon the woman postmzs- ter to give trouble when it comes to ousting her from her job.The case of Mrs.Longstreet is'famous in the annlas of the department and now comes another Southern woman,Mrs, Tillman,at Geneva,Ala.,who is.re. sisting ouster proceedings.Mrs.Tiil- man has been asked to retire in fa- vor of another party,but like Holton, she is in no hurry to take the hint. On the contrary,she tells the depart- ment to come along and put her.out if it can.It seems that she owns the building in which the postoffice is lo- cated and draws rent in addition to her salary-as postmaster.Of course the government can rent a new place of business and place Mrs_Tillman’s successor in charge,but it will add tothe red tape complication and tie up matters until both Mrs.Tillman and the party after her job are gray haired and palsied.Woman is a smooth proposition when slipping into a job,After she “lands”she is an angel with side curls and a fist. (Years ago a prominent North Car- olinian was asked by a friend about the advisability of taking a woman into,his office as helper in his work.The answér was:“Don’t.If you hire @ man and he doesn’t suit you can discharge him.But discharging a woman who wants to keep her job is something any mere man wants to mine to search for him were killedTheminewasclosedforatimeandattemptsmadetokillLopezbypois-oneus gases.It was later opened andsearchmadeforhim,each compart-ment being closed after it wassearched:The mine was Sgain clos-ed in the hope of starving Lopez in-submission,poisoned food beinginthemine.When search beganagainthefoodwasfounduntouched.After killing two deputies in anundergroundbattleonNovember28.making six in cll he had killed withineightdays,Lopez called to his pur.suers that more than six men wouldhavetosacrificetheirlivesiftheyexpectedtocapturehim.That hehadmadegoodhisboastbyescap-ing,although no more men werekilled,was conceded by his pursuers.Sheriff Smith declzred —“that~hissuddendeterminationto.abandon thesearchwasreachedonlyafterhewassatisfiedthatthedesperadoeith-er had eseaped or had been-crushed avoid.She will not only give troubleherselfbutshewillhaveallher friends and kinsfolk after.you.Whether she can do the work and your convenience will not be consider- ed if she wants to stay.”This ideaseems_to hold in.the case of the lady postmastersNin ‘these days whet the sisters are claiming “equal.rights” with their brothers,they should learn to accept the “right”to be fired from a “job.—The Landmark.)

What “It Meant to a Governor's Grandson—Importance of Vital Statistics.: *Bulletin State Board of Health. North Carolina's sons and daugh- ters are frequently embarrassed be- cause they cannot prove their age ordescent.Such an instance has just come to light in the case of a notable amily.me Sterling Manly,the grandson of former Governor Manly,is in the employ of the United States navy.Itappearsthataftera-man has been in the service a certain length of time atid attained a certain age,he is en- titled to an increasé in pay.Mr. Manly became entitled to his pay,and upon ap»lying for it he was requested to furnish proof of his age in the form of a birth certificate.He of course wrote to the authorities of the State of his birth and asked them for his birth certificate.Being a North Caro- limian,he had to be informed that until the last few weeks North Caro- lina‘has kept no record of the births and’deaths of her citizens.An ap- peal was made to his Church for rec- ords of his baptism,but according to the last reports none was found. Such a thing should never hap- pen to a North Carolinian born since 1913,for since that date our vital Statistics law will not only register the date of birth,but it will settle many tegal-questions,such—as-inheri- tance and descent,right:to marry,to vote,to pay taxes,to hold office,to attend school,to work in factories, and so on.: Every one has a right to have at least the two essential facts of hisexistence,his birth and his death, officially recorded.The vital statis- tics law does this and much more. It is even more valuable from a pub- lic health point of view.The thing for every one’of us to do right now,how- ever,is to see to it that everyone takes advantage of this tiew law.In a few years we shall no more think of letting a human being come.into the world or go out of it without recording the facts of his birth and ‘death officially,than we now think of allowing a marriage to go un- recorded._ Negro Preacher's Fool Talk—Incit- ing His Race to Violence. Negroes were urged to spend their money for guns and military educa- tion by Rev.L.N.Ross,pastor of a Washington (D.C.)negro church, speaking at a celebration of the birth- day of Charles Summer,in Washing- ton Tuesday night. The preacher pleaded with the au-dience t6 prepare for war for their social,political and industrial rights.Cries of “‘we are with you;that’s right,”greeted the sneaker. When Oswald Garrison Villard cfNewYorkvigorouslydissentedfrom Ross’advice,the preacher again roseandrepeatedhisdeclaration,draw-a_i ora outbufst of approval.lard made an address attackingtheattitudeoftheDemocraticad- ministration toward the negro,de-_elaring that the position in which the Democratic party finds itself to-“day,with its President preaching “anewfreedom”and a number of.re-actionary Senators,Congressmen and cabinet officers urging a new clavery, “4s indeed extraordinary.” “There are no bosses today-likethem,”he continued.“The Varda-mans,Tillmans,Hoke Smiths,and ‘all..the rest of the negro-baiti +forts..now-—should.be concentrated. NOW FOR CONSTRUCTIVE W Important Matters to Which the Péo-ple of the State Should DevoteThemselvesThisYear, J.W.Bailey in Raleigh News and Ob- server,t The year 1913 will long be remem- bered as a year of very great na- tional achievement:Under the lead- ership of President Wilson the UnitedStateshasenactedtwogreatcon- structive measures,the tariff and the currency acts;.and jnfiluences have been set up under which the.abuses of the trusts and the combines are disappearing. It was a great year for the Ameri- ean people—-the greatest of a gener-ation.The year 1914,should be devoted by North Carolinians to ‘similarly con- structive work in behalf ‘of North Carolina. It is an off year politically;we can, therefore,give predominant ~atten- tion to State affairs, And we have,moreover,the inspir- ation of the President’s achievements to hearten us in our endeavors.We have not only that inspiration;but we have a specially created opportunity, The money power has been broken for a time in America.The special interests were never since the great war so powerless as they are today. We have now,therefore,the best op- portunity we have ever had,perhaps the -best we shall have for years to come,to enact legislation in bchelf of the people.There is none to say usnay.7Andtotheend-that-the-people may. have definite objects in view,I am here setting forth in order those measures upon which I think our <; propose that we shall demand of all candidates this year that they stand whole-heartedly for the following measures;I propose that we-shall make the adoption of these measures paramount to anybody's election in North Carolina: I.Legalized State-wide primary, covering all elective offices and all parties,with a powerful corrupt prac-tices act. il.Revision of our system of tax- ation—an absolute recasting of our system,along lines..contemplated ‘in the constitutions!amendment.pro-posed on this subject.

It-is an evasion to say that he is a member of the State Guard and leave the impression that he is a regiment- al officer,which he is not. .>* While the actual cost-of food andtaimenthasof-course

THE ANTI-TRUST BILLS ANDWEAK-KNEED DEMOCRATS. The news comes from Washington that the Democrats are not!agreed on the ‘plan for framing anti-trust legislation;that some members of the House judiciary committee and some Senators have indicated that they are averse to hastening the trust legislative programme;and that some of the Congressmen contend that there is no great demand for imme- diate Tegistation.This was expected. The Senators as a rule are always pposed to hastening anything;and The Landmark has heretofore men- tioned the!fact thet some Democrats in Congress have expressed the opin- jon that the party has done enough fof the present.Carrying out plat- form promises does not appeal to them.They,look at the situation from the standpoint of party politics rather than the public good,and,as the President said not long ago,study so much about re-election that some of them are net worth re-electing. The President didn’t say this about any member of Congress,but he did say that any public official who studied too much about getting re- elected.was usually not worth re- electing,which is true. If the President and the Democrats} in Congress had taken counsel of the timid,or of those who would not have a Democratic administration differ- ent from a Republican except in the matter of filling the office,-it is doubtful if a tariff bill or a currency bill would have been passed;or if they had been passed the medsures would have been so mild that the change in conditions would hardly have been noticeable.

Union County Man Wanted to Be PutontheChainGang. Monroe Enquirer. Usually a man tries his “levelest’”to keep off the chain’gang,but Capt.B,T.Fletcher had the novel experi-ence of having a white man beg him to let him go to work’on the chain gang.The man walked.five miles to where the chain gang was at work insouthMonroetownship.He said that he had been in.a fuss with his wifeandthatshehadthreatenedtoput him on the chain gang,and he evident- ly knew that the old lady usually hadherway,for he put out for the chain gong and begged to be put to work. Before going out to where the’con-victs were at work the man went to the stockade,irispected the bunks andquartersandaskedanumberofques-tions about the fare,etc.Mr.Fletch- er could not givé the distressed manajob,but told him that he would have to go te the recorder and be tried and get a commitment before he could be put on the gang.The man.had not fought his wife,he said.‘They had just had a war of words and the old man hiked it to the chain gang as a city of refuge.

William P.Wagner,a prominent farmer of the St.Timothy section of Catawba county,has been missing from his home,sinee Wednesday night.Wednesday evening just before dark he took his team and hauled a load of wood to the Lyle’s Creek dredge, about a half mile from his-home.He returned,put his team in the barn and ate supper.He then told his family that he was going to St.Tim- othy school house to the local Farm- ers’Union meeting.

The news that Asheville is to lose the headquarters of the revenue agent will not be learned’with sur- prise in this city,it having been gen- erally believed that the office would be moved after Marshal Webb an- nounced that he had been authorized to bring his office to this city.For a while it was believed that the office would go to Salisbury in view of the fact that that city is Agent Vander- ford’s home.However,the orders from headquarters designate Greens- boro.as the place to which the office shall be taken.The Gate City is the home of Commissioner Osborn. The work of Agent Vanderford covers the two Carolinas and it is stated that Asheville is not well sit- uated for the office.Greensboro is a more central point.The office was brought to this city January 1,1909, shortly after R.B;Sams,who re- sides here,was named as ‘revenue agent.

Saved From War By Sober Second Thought. New York World. A year closed in peace might eas- ily have witnessed the nation in arms but for the firmness of President Wilson.While but:little has been saidaboutit,the fact is that during the last few months we have had a dem- onstration of the effectiveness of theolicyastowarwhichSecretary3ryanpresentedtothepowerslastApril.In that proposition there was noth- ing but a recurrence to rules of con-duct for nations that have long beenacceptedbyindividuals.Its sub- stance was the sober second thought.It embodied the wisdom of the oldcopybook:“When angry count ten; when very angry count.one hundred.” Wars are easy to start and hard to conclude.The idea is that nations be-lieving that the use of force is nec- essary shall consider the matter for six months before taking action. Six months ago most peoplethought.war with Mexico was emi- nent and inevitable.The intereststhatusuallyfindprofitinstrifehad made everything ready for it..There |had been successful appeals to pride,| anger and resentment.If aggres-siveness had appeared on the part ofa -occasion would have been found some- where along our Southern frontier for the beginning of hostilities.Reflection seems to have convinced| even our jingoes that war in this case |is not called for.The national honor | has been maintained.The moral in-|fluence.of the United States in Mexi-| co was never stronger than it is to- day.The Mexicans themselves are |less inclined to extend-their troubles|than they were six months ago.It is the sober second thought that has done the business.

However,a number ‘of the bodies|were not exhumed and moved,and at | a recent meeting of the board of al-| dcermen it was ordered that thesebe |taken up and transferred to the ne-| gro cemetery.When the work was| started the first grave opened was| that of a negro preacher who came|to New Berne direct from Africa| about 100 years ago.The predcher | remained here until his death about|80 years ago and was buried,Whenthegravewasopeneditwas’found that,although the coffin and its con-| tents had+laid in the ground for ncar-| ly a century,that complete decay was | not evident: y }! -_oOoooO |The Snow in Watauga.|Boone Democrat.

This curious relie of the civil war is not,however,to be seen by in- quirers,according to Mr.Pittman, which raises a doubt whether it still exists.Nevertheless,available evi-dence points to Major Orren R.Smith as the designer of the Stars and Bars,which,was adopted as the flag of the Confederacy by the Pro- visional Congress at.Montgomery, Ala.in March,1861.Major Smith, a native of Warren county,N..C., the Mexican war and an ardent State’s rights man. Telling the story of his design at a Confederate reunion in Norfolk in1910,Major Smith said: “The idea of mY flag I took from the vLeimity;;*Three in One.’The thrce bars were for the Chirch, State and press.Red represented State,legislative,judiciary and ex- ecutive;white for Church,Father, Son and Holy Ghost;red fdr:press, freedom of speech,freedom of con- science and liberty sof press al) bound together by a field of blue(the star heavens over alt),bearing a for each State in the Confeder- ation.The seven white stars,all the Same size,were placed in a circle, showing that each State had equal rights and privileges irrespective ofsizeorpopulation.” This aecount shows Major Smith to have been a man of ideas and sen- timents,but fanatical in his devotion to the cause of the South.In his old age he had the shrewd,kindly face and the white locks and beard of a Federal veteran from the rural parts of New England.There was no- thing typical of the South in his ap-pearance.From Major Smith's de- sign Miss Rebecca Murphy,t.ow Mrs. W.B.Winborne of Wilson,N.C., Sewed the flag,which was sent by the hand of a.messenger to Montgom- ery,A large flag,nine by 12 feet, mide from the same design,Major Smith raised on March 18,1861,in the court hotise square at Louisburg on two tall saplings spliced together. Bill Allen,then a stave and stilt tiv-ing,cut the saplings and helped to give the Stars cand Bars to the breeze.North Carolina did not leave the Union until two months afterMajorSmith’s “hasty adventure in secession,”as apprehensive relatives called his flag raising. Major Smith’s claim has been c@atested by friends of one “NicolaMarschallofLouisville,a native of Prussia,who as an artist settled atMarion,Ala.,some years before the war.It is said that at the request of a@ Mrs.-Lockett he submitted two designs to the Provisional Congress,one of them identical with Major Orren R.Smith’s.The evidence ofMarschall’s authorship is very slen- der,while a great many.affidavitshavebeensworntoinsupportofMa-jor Smith's title.It is not likely to i r..di vol-ume of designs supposed to be lost]it the mass of civil war docymentsdepositedwiththeWar-Department sees the light.It has been said that almost all the drawings -submitted were inspired by the Stars and Stripes,a pathetic testimony to the nnate love of the designers for thejoldflagofgloriousmemorywhich they rejected.

AACE Secretary Daniels seems to be sdlv- ing the high cost of living in the navy when at one blow he savés a million dollars on the annual expend- iture for projectiles.The neat little trick was turned by simply threaten- ing to give the contracts to foreign bidders if the domestic combine did not come down to reasonable figures. The difference in the bids is indicat- ed by the fact that the ‘Bethlehem Steel Company,which last year se- cured contracts for four-inch cannon shells at $9.50 each,this year offered to furnish the same shells at $5.46. Mr.Wilson seems to have made a good investment in Mr.Daniels.The men that can make one million do the work of two is worth while to the taxpayers.—Baltimore Sun. Secretary Daniels is a newspaper man and in North Carolina a news- paper man learns,by practical ex- perience,how to make “every edge cut.” Referring to Ford,the Michigan automobile manufacturer who has de- cided to share his profits with the em- ployes of his factory,the Durham *Herald remarks: *—~—Old man Ford saw to it that he was feirly well provided for on his own account before he decided to cut a melon for the benefit of his employes. Yes,but let’s give him credit for decidingtodivideatall.Whenitis remembered that so few do this,Mr. Ford isentitledtoall thebenefits he gets out of it.Hundreds,probably thousands of men,have made mil- lionsand if they let any of it getout- side of the family,they gave to edu- cational and cheritable institutions. It is all very well to give to these in- stitutions,but Mr.Ford is beginning charity at home by first dividing with the men who help him to make his millions. —~-With-the Statesville Landmark-at} its elbow,the Asheville Gazette-Newsisstillstandingpatonitscttitude toward the judge-and his attitude to- “ward the enforcement of the prohi- bition law.—Charlotte Observer. ‘As The Landmork views the case, the Asheville Gazette-News should have at its elbow every paper in the State that believes in the impartial enforcement of the law.The case at Asheville,in which a prominent hotel proprietor and a major on the Gov- ernor’s staff,was allowed 'to have a bar operated in his hotcl,while the common herd,who retziled liquor in small quantities,were sent to the roads almost daily,is of more than local intercst.The same conditions exist in some degree at other places and unless we want to invite cnarchy later on,not only every newspaper but every good citizen should be aroused to the seriousness of the sit- uation.

Dr.Howard A.’Kelly,the famous Baltimore surgeon,whose name is now attracting attention in con1,eéc- tion with the use of radium for ~the treatment of cancer,was in North Carolina recently.searching for ra- 'dium,very scarce and valuable |yyineral that it is believed will cure cancer.‘Dr.Kelly visited Shelby and Hendersonville.So far it.seéms doubtful if he was encouraged by his visit,although it is probable that.ra- dium exists in this State. In a recent lecture in New.York city,discussing the use of radium in the treatment of disease,Dr,Kelly said: “A ‘very large per centage of ra- dium being sold is a fake.I purchas- ed two tubes and found that orie con- tained only one-fifth of a milligram, the other one-tenth of a milligram. Real radium the size of a pea,is val- ued at $125,000.: “There is no questiqgn in my mind but that radium will oxtend surgery in.the ficld of cancer:It will not cure all cascs,but it will cure a great many.I am working to get enough radium to test thoroughly its possi- bilities.It is my hope that I may aid in putting it at a price that will be within thc means of all. “Cancer in many cases is caused by immorality or filth.It is immor- al for men to burn their bodics,yet in the large majority of ccses concer of the lip is due to men’smoking short pipes and burning cigars to the butt.No man has a right to be an invetcrate smokcr. “In the case of women who have cancer of the lip,it is invaricbly those who smoke ‘cigarettes who are the victims.es “Ag to the fake side,I am willing for Father Time and the facts to I know of cases whcre imitation radium has been palmed.off.on.the unsuspecting.

WRECK ON THE A.T.AND 0. Engine Turned.Over Near DavidsonSundayNight—Fireman Wilson Killed and Engineer Curlee Fatal- ly ‘Scalded —Passengers HardlyDisturbed—First Person Killed onAnA.,T.and O.Train in a Gen- eration. Charlotte Observer,19th. Southern passenger train No.15 on the Atlantic,Tennessee and Ohio road. was wrecked within 300-yards of the station at Davidson last night at 8:30 o'clock.Fireman Avery H.Wilson of Charlotte was killed and Engineer Jonah E.Curlee,also.of Charlotte, was so fearfully scalded that doubt is entertained his recovery.The accident occurred in a deepcutjustnorthofthedepotandwas caused,it is supposed,by a spreading rail.The train,en route south,was running about 40 minutes late andwasslowingupforthestop,the sta- tion blow having been sounded and also the blow for the crossing.Sud- denly there was a shock and a jar, the engine leaving the rails and whirling at right angles to the track, where it fell over on its side.The tender followed and the combination baggage coach was twisted’at an angle of about 45 degrees.The tworearcoaches,where all the passen- gers were seated,did not leave therailsatallandthe”peoplehardlyknewwhathad un- til they went ont to investigate,Sev-eral were heard to remark that the shock was only a very slight one and that they had thought the train hadsimplystoppedrathersuddenlybe- cause of the fear of overrunning thestation.~.Captain’Claude Morrison, the conductor in charge,who waslookingafterhispassengerswhenthe sudden stop was made,rushed to the front.The first object seen by him‘was Engineer Curlee crawling away from his cab,which was enveloped in a cloud of hissing steam.Nothing could be seen or heard of the fireman. Within a minute a grect crowd ofpeoplehadgatheredandthewound- ed man was quickly carried to the office of Dr.J.M.McConnell,where medical attention was given him.Dr. McConnell was assisted by Drs.W.H.Wooten,E.Q.Houston and several helpers.On .investigation it was found that eer Curlee was notbadlybruisedbutthathisburnsweremostserious. Fireman Wilson,in addition to be-ing fearfully scalded,was caught be- neath the engine and also badly mangled.It is présumed that his death occurred..within a very fewminutesaftertheengineturnedtur-tle.His body was not extricated from the wreckage for -a half hour.Mr. Curlee has a wife and family who re- sidé at No.401 North Pine street. Mr.Wilson is survived by his widow and two children.He cathe to Char- lotte from Mocksville,where he has many relatives.He had been rail- roading for some time.Mr.Curlee had been an engineer on the A.,T.&O.for some 12 or 14 years. A noteworthy feature about the accident is the fact.that Fireman Wilson is the first.person aboard anA.,T.&O.train to be killed within the past 30-odd years.Captain Mor- rison,who has been on the road for 28 years,stated last night that he had never known .a passenger or trainman to be killed by the train and Mr.S.C.Scofield of Davidson gave the same testimony,the lat- ter’s recollection going back about 40 years. As soon as General Superintendent G.J.Foreacre’s office was informed of the accident<an automobile wasrequisitionedand*a surgeon and nurse were immediately dispatched to Da- vidson to look after the wounded man.A special.was also made up and_.ordered to.run up to Davidson to bring down the passengers.Thisspecialreachedthecitythismorning at exactly1-o'clock.Engineer Curlee and the dead fire- man were brought to this city on the special train,which was compelled tomakethetripherewithenginere- versed.Mr.Curlee was taken atoncetothePresbyterianHospital. (Engineer Curlee died a half hour after reaching the hospital.When told he could not recover he said he could have saved himself by jumping but thought it:his duty to stick to his engine and save the passengers.)

Tt is said that the appointment may not be made until March Ist.The fermer Governor should make them give him a due bill for the job if he wants to be certain.It would be aw- ful if he were kept on the waiting list until too late for him to enter the campaign for the Senate and should then fail to land in a Federal berth.The Landmark isn’t intimat- ing that anybody is trying .to play the ex-Governor,but there’s nothing like having the job nailed down. Says the Salisbury Post:- “One of the most important things before the people of North Carolina today is law enforcement,and it is the duty of every good citizen to de- mand certain things of those they put into office.To this end we ought to know and to take nothing for grant- ed.and every man who offers for place,especially a plece which has te do with operating the machinery ef the law,ought to be put to the test,and led out to tell where he stands and what may be expected of him in case of his election.” All candidates will make fair premises.The important thing is to select men who can be depended on to de the right under all circumstances.

While fine progress is being made in agricultural development in Ire- dell;some things.are lacking,or at least do,not receive the attention their importance demands;and the most important of these is to inter- est.the boys in agriculturd One method of arousing this interest is by means of the boys’corn clubs. Last year more than 40 boys in the county agreed to enter the corn club work but at the finals only 22 made reports.This year the interest is far from what it should be.County Agricultural Adviser Arey,who goes up and down the county advis- ing and encouraging the promotion of agricultural progress,is impress- ed with the lack of encouragement given Iredell boys,at home and in school,to engage in-farm work.Mr. Arey realizes that we can never ap- proach the agricultural progress in this county that should be ours un- til the boys reared on the farms take hold of farm work instead of leav- ing the farms as they are doing yearly and leaving farm work to tenants. To keep the boys on the farms they must be shown that it is to their interest .to stay there.Naturally they will go elsewhere if they think they can do better.It is not a mat- ter of sentiment but of business.The boys must be shown that farming is a good business,a profitable busi- ness and that life on the farm is bet- “ter for them than life in a factory or a store or some other business.If they are to be shown this their.in- terest must be aroused in farm work and in the wonderful agricultural development now in progress that is fast placing the tilling of the soil where it deserves to be—in the very first-rank ofall business, Mr.Arey finds in visiting the schools,in his efforts to interest the boys in the corn clubs,that few of the teachers have mentioned the corn club work to the boys or tried to en- courage them to take an interest.In this the teachers are falling short in their duty.They need to “get the vision,”to enlarge their horizon. All these years the rural schools have educated the children away from the farms by teaching them nothing con- “nected with farm life.In recent years an attempt has been made to change this by requiring the teaching of ag- riculture in the schools,but it seems that many of the teachers are slow to catch the idea.It is important that some enthusiasm be put into this work and the teachers are failing in their duty to the children unless they encourage them to take an interest in their home life and work—the work on the farms.oe Parents,‘and especially the fathers, are also “standing in their Own light”if they do not encourage the boys and help them to become inter- ested in farm work.The boys should be encouraged to join the corn clubs and the fathers should give them every opportunity to fully develop the acre and make the best yield pos- sible.The boy deserves to have an interest in the work and should be en- couraged to develop the best that is in him.

President Lays Down the Programme ForDesling With These—No Tear- ing Up By Roots “But Conquest @ne of Peace.. President Wilson personally laid before a joint ‘session of Congress Tuesday the.fundamental principles ef the Democratic _administration's programme for dealing with -trusts and “big business.”The President resented the case,he said,“as it fies in the thought of.the country, reiterating.“that.private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable,”and declaring that conscientious business men throughout the nation would not be satisfied until practices now dep- recated by “public opinion ‘as.re- straints of trade and-commerce were corrected.“We are now about to write the additional articles of our constitution of peace,”sald the Pres- ident,“the peace that is honor and freedom and prosperity.” Besides suggesting the scope |of legislation,the President made a personal appeal for an atmosphere of frietidliness and co-operation in Congress while handling the prob- lem.“The.antagonism,”he said, “between business and government is ever.We are now about to give expression to the best judgment of America,to what we know to be the business conscience and honor of the land.The government.and business men are ready to meet each other i balf way in.a common effort to square business methods with both publie opinion and the law.” The chief points which the Pres- ident.singled out as a basis for leg- islation were:i 1.Effectual prohibition of the in- terlecking of the directorates of great corporations—banks,railroads, industrial,commercial and _public service bodies. 2.A law to confer upon the Inter- StateCommerce Commission the pow- er to’superintend and regulate the financial operations by which rail- roads are henceforth to be supplied ‘with the money they need.for their proper development and improved transportation facilities.The Presi- dent made it clear that “the prosper- ity ef the railroads and the prosper ty ef the country are unseparably cennected”in this regard. %.Definition of “the many hurtful restraints of trade”by explicit legis- latien supplementary to the Sherman law.4.The creation of a commission to aid the courts and to act as a clear- ing house of information in helping business—to—conform with the law. 8.Provision of pénalties and pun- ishments to fall upon individuals re- sponsible for unlawful business prac- tices. 6.Prohibition of holding compa- nies and a suggestion that the vot- ing power of _individuals._holding shares in ‘numerous corporations might be restricted. 7,Giving to private individuals the ‘right to found suits for redress onfactsandjudgmentsproveningov- ernmen’.svita,and providing that statute of limitations should run onlyfromthedateofconclusionofthe government’s action.

The secretary ofthe.Young Wo- man’s Christian Association of Greensboro asked Dr.Clark,pastor of the First Presbyterian..church of that city,to request the members of his congregation to read an article in the Sunday morning paper—theNews—about the association,“but I want to ask,”said the minister, “that you read it tomorrow (Mon- day)instead of today”(Sunday.)The doctor then rapped the Sunday morn- ing issues of newspapers generally, and inferentially the Daily News in particular,saying in effect that among the forces of the land tending to destroy the sanctity of the Sab- bath the—-Sunday—-newspapers—-are about the strongest.Dr.Clark said that people attend- ing church.after reading the Sun-day morning newspapers are not in a properly prepared state of mind for worship.He offered a criticism of some of the stories that frequently find their way into morning newspa- pers on Sundays as being of a quality that is not elevating,and suggestedthatitwould’be much better if the people would leave off the SundaymorningpapertillMondayformore elevating matter.

For a week representatives ofthe railroad lines in the State have been pouring a tale of woe into the ears of the rate commission at Raleigh—the special commission appointed to de- cide whether the Justice act reducing intra-State freight rates shall apply in full to all the railroads.With one accord these representatives declare that ‘the act would be ruinous to the railroads;and if one could accept at face value their .report of the condition of their business,in- stead of reducing rates the proper caper would be to take up a collection for them;but about the time we get our sympathies aroused for.the rail- roads they are often guilty of such seeming ingratitude and lack of good faith that we begin to doubt.How- ever,we hope the commission will be able to see through the matter clear- ly enough to do exact justice to both the railroads and the people.
