A FORWARD MOVEMENT.

No matter what else the Legislature
does or does not do, one thing is GER
tain: 1t is pledged by the most sacred
promises to devise such measures as
will give better public school facili-
ties to the children of the State.
Specifically It must give at least a four
months school to every school district
in the State for that is the pledge in
plain words in the platform which is
the chart for all Democratic legisla-
tors. In the larger counties which
contain large towns, a four months
school is already provided, and in a
few there Is enough money for a six
or seven months school, but in the
smaller rural counties there is not
enough money to have four months
school which the Constitution requires
and which the Democratic platform
promises to give at once.
The legislative committee of the
Teachers Assembly, which was in ses-
SLUT III las III It's pOIulS OuI
two good ways to carry out the Con-
stitutional mandate and party pledge.
l. To appropriate 100000 to sup
plement the public school fund, $780,
900 of which is to be used to help the
poorer counties increase their school
term.
2. To secure a more general resort
to- local taxation, not alone by the
larger towns and cities, but also by
the country townships.
The paramount issue" is to educate
the people. Thelegislators will think
of minor matters, but unless better
public schools are provided the party
will fail of its solemn pledge to the
people, and the State, now foremost
in manufacturing enterprise, will lag
behind in the nurseries where men
are moulded who are to make the State
rich and powerful if it is ever to be-
come so.

MR.. ROBERT O. BURTON.


The death Of Mr.. Robert o. Burton
in this city yesterday morning will be
heard with deep regret throughout the
State. He was easily one of the most
learned, most studious, most pains
taking and most successful members
of the bar in the State. He was recog-
nized as the equal of any man at the
Raleigh bar, which is noted for it's ver-
>satile and able practitioners. Indeed,
we do not thinlWit is too high praise
of the dead man to say that many re-
garded him as the very best lawyer
at the States capital. He had been
a resident of Raleigh about ten years.
Upon obtaining license, he settled at
Halifax, where he was long a leader
of the bar. Desiring to practice law
in a larger city he moved to Richmond,
but soon thereafter moved to Raleigh,
where he almost within year came
into a large and lucrative practice.
His first notable case after coming to
Raleigh was as leading counsel for the
State in the litigation to end the eX-
emption from taxation claimed and
enjoyed by the Wilmington and We'll
don Railroad. 1t was a. case where
most lawyers thought the State could
not win. Mr.. Burton's success was a
signal victory and at once gave him
Statewide reputation He has APP
peared in many Important suits and
his reputation as a lawyer has steadily
grown.
He took no active interest in poll
ties in a public. capacity because his
professional duties engrossed him
thoroughly, but was an earnest Demo-
craft, deeply yersed in Democratic
principles snd a thorough believer in
the policies for which that party
stands. One Of the ablest political
speeches heard in North Carolina in
this generation was made by him in
Wake county in the campaign of 1896.
Mr.. Burton was judicial in tempera-
ment. He would have made great
judge. He was not only learned
lawyer, he was more than that: he was
an honest and an incorruptible one.
He made .he noble profession more
respected wherever men knew him.
Mr.. Burton was more than a great
and an honest lawyer; he was Chris
tan man whose life and conversation
proved his profession. He had the
true humility of spirit that marks the
man who has walked with God" His
life told of his faith, for outside of his
intimate friends he spoke seldom of
those things that he held most sacred.
But those who knew him best knew
that he believed sincerely and saving
ly in the Redeemer. The son of
preacher; he lived the gospel his dis
tinguished father proclaimed.

NOT LIKE JEFFERSON.

w. E. Curtis in Chicago Record.
President Mckinley is not like Presi-
dent Jefferson. He loves to receive pres
ents. Nobody has ever offered him any
thing of great value, but he is continually
receiving remembrances from both ole
and new friends, and, like everybody who
has blood in his veins, it makes him feel
good to be remembered Jefferson would
never receive a gift from any one for
fear it would cause him to forget his duty
and place him under obligations. Mr..
Dawkins once dared to present him with
a walking stick. Mr. Jefferson returned
it with letter so virtuous that it ex-
cited suspicious comments from his politi-
cal enemies. Mr.. Jefferson said he made
it a rule not to accept presents from an.
person except pamphlets or books If his
ghost haunts the White House it has dis
covered that his successor now in power
has more confidence in himself. for ex-
press wagons have been driving under the
oortico all day and leaving packages by
the hundreds. and the President fears
neither the sense OF obligation to those
who sent them nor the danger of being
swerved from his dut-' to all mankind
thereby.

COST OF SCHOOL BOOKS.

Wilmington Messenger.
When We were preparing the recent
editorial in The Messenger upon the
school book question, we had some figures
before us showing what was paid in some
Southern States for certain books and
what North Carolina paid, and it was
largely against the latter. Why should a
county in this State pay SSH for a set
of books that the other Carolina was
procuring for $517? Is there any horse
sense or wisdom in that way of doing?
