We are glad to note that CORE
sponuent of the Charlotte Observer
has found in the files of early news
papers some good evidence of the
truth of the Mecklenburg Declara-
ton OF Independence. At banquet
in Raleigh Gen. Lafayette proposed
toast to the State of North Caro-
lima "and the Goth of May, 1775,
when a generous people called for in
dependence and freedom" etc. An
other interesting fact is that on
November 1Ith 1925 at a banquet
in Raleigh John C. Calhoun offered a
sentiment :-"North Carolina: The
first to assert American Independ
ence" etc. The testimony of Lafay-
cite and Calhoun. added to what is
known of the Declaration, win estab-
lish it's truth in the minds of many
donbters.

THE GRADED SCHOOL.

The large audience which assembled
in the Opera House attested anew
| the esteem in which the people
of this city hold our public
school system and the interest
which they feel in the gradual
ing class. 1t is a happy event when
| the merit of scholars receives its re-
ward, and those who were the donors
of medals and other prizes are
entitled to the highest good will of
the community.
President Tdylor's address grew
| the moro interesting as it proceeded,
and the latter part of it was more
appreciated by the grown-up people
| than the beginning. We trust that
our people will never forget his words
or fail to realize his full meaning.
Life is a race or contest; competition
is keen; improved methods are de-
mGnded, and education is absolutely
necessary to enable a people to keep
abreast of the times. This view must
impress the-many business men and
manufacturers whose time and at
tention are SO much consumed by the
| affairs of the business world that
| they are not ordinarily apt to con-
slider the important work of our
schools.

THE USE OF TOBACCO,
There Is Good Deal of Prat1nR
About the Habit.

In ere is GOOD Deal OF Prat1nS
About the Habit.
From the Washington News
In speaking of the use of tobacco
before the Methodist ministers meet
ing Rev. DR.. Lucien Clark said: 81
think it unwise to exaggerate the
evils of the comparatively harmless
tobacco habit and fail to mention
other habits more dangerous to
both mind and SOUL"
"In taking this ground" remarked
Capt. Edward E. Marston, that
common sense preacher, Mr. Clark
struck lead which many of our So
called temperance and church people
would do well to follow. The worst
that can be said of tobacco using is
that it is a somewhat uncleanly
habit. No one ever heard of a man
committing murder, arson or any
other crime while under the influence
of tobacco There is a good deal of
prating about the horrible tobacco
habit which is the veriest bosh and
tW ddle.
IF a man enjoys a good smoke, /
say let him smoke IT he wants to
chew let him chew away know a
good Methodist minister in North
Carolina who is as devout a Chris
tian as ever walked on sole leather,
hut he chews a big plug of tobacco
every blessed day of his life, and adds
vim to his sermon when he ascends
the pulpit with a schaw.' as the
brethern there call it, in his mouth. :"

FIVE to three is the way the Su-
preme Court stood on the constitu-
tionality of the Geary Act. The
greatest lawyers may differ. The
main underlying idea in the decision
is that every nation has the inherent
right to keep aliens out OF its terri
tory, and order them to get out il it
wishes. So ifJohn Chinaman doesn't
get out a certificate he will be de-
ported. The Geary Act decision is
the first assumption in this country
that the deportation of persons law
fully domiciled here is lawful

AN awkward typographical mis-
take appears in Sundays issue of the
Charlotte Observer when it makes
reinstatement that in 1885 Lafayette
visited Raleigh. AS that French
patriot was born in 1857 and died
in 1884 we suppose he was doing
something else than visit Raleigh in
1885 However, we do not wish to
say that Raleigh is not a good place
for a dead man to visit.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.


Some of the Eastern newspapers
do not seem to fully understand the
Chinese Exclusion legislation. We
have on our books and have had for
some years a Chinese Exclusion Jaw.
The Geary law is merely a piece of
legislation to make that exclusion
act enforcea BILE 10 a greater degree
than it now is It's purpose is MOTTO
expel the Chinese that are now resi-
dent here. The Geary Act was to
compel the registration ofChinamen,
not to deport them; but to deport
them if they did not obey the man.
date to register
The Chinese are very much alike in
personal appearance. They have no
regard for our laws. They main
tain, so far as they can, their own
tribunals in San Francisco and in
other cities where the Chinese are
numerous. When the Geary Act was
passed the Chinese Immediately took
the stand that they would not regis
ter; they didn't propose to obey the
law. Now the Government of the
United States proposes that they
shall obey the law.
The people of California decided in
1879 by an overwhelming majority
that they were in favor of Chinese
exclusion. They had had the expert
ence with that heather race which
would not assimilate with the eau
casion race. They saw the Chinese
take bread from the mouths of white
boys and girls who, deprived of the
opportunity of making a decent
livelihood, became, hundreds ofthem,
a burden upon the community,
many became criminals. The Chinese,
| budding in their tenement houses
underbid white boys and girls in the
| labor market, and their earnings in
stead of remaining in this country
for its benefit and advantage. were
generally sent "a. The Chinese
never were 2 grants, nEy

OF her laboriDg people, and then go

But why should the Chinese object
to register? Americans sojourning
or travelling in China are compelled
20 register and carry a certificate or
| permit with them. Why then do
they object? What right have they
to object? If they require certifi-
| Gates OF Americans may we not re-

some 10000 Chinese in this coun

all to stay if only they would take

only 5000 obeyed the law. If they
had all obeyed the law as it was
their duty to do, there would not be
| the slightest trouble. Inasmuch as
there is but little money to deport
! those who failed to register their de-
| portation now is not to be expected
| The special session of Congress may
consider the Geary Law as well as
the tariff matter, and all will be we'll.
