A TEN HOUR LAW.
Roxboro Courier.

Roxboro Courier.
Almost every other industry in the
State require 10 day. and there is no
reason why cotton mill operatives should
be compelled to work longer hours than
other laborers. The fact is, We believe a
lot of hands will do more work. and bet
ter work. in twelve months working ten
hours a day than they will working
eleven, and certainly they will work more
cheerfully. 1t would be only reasonable
to expect a more healthy class of citizens
if they had more time to take outdoor
exercise.

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress providing for the consolidation
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory and
their admission as State. Arizona
and New Mexico have enough popula-
ton for admission as States. They
would have been admitted along with
Idaho and Utah if they had been
strongly Republican. Senator Fair
banks wants Oklahoma admitted to
statehood but opposes making States
of New Mexico and Arizona. The rea-
son is plain-Oklahoma is strongly
Republican; the other two States are
generally Democratic.

Tribune, making an appeal for money
for negro church in Little Africa"
says: ''The continuous oppression of
the colored people in the South is
forcing them to come to New York

A special of the 10th instant says
that Northern workmen, employed in
work on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, struck because two negroes
were employed on the construction

The oppression in the South exists
only in the imagination of those who
wish to handle funds collected from
deceived liberal Northern citizens.

MIR. HEIDS EXPLANATIONS.

Everytime MT. Held opens his mouth about his betrayal of the trust reposed in him by the last republican state conven- tion, he makes his case worse. He flies from one falsehood to another, and then tries to set up his word against that of the other delegates who attended the Juneau convention.
 1t is we'll known that his resume of the Juneau convention is tissue of fabrca- tion, and the inference is that his story as to the proceedings at Philadelphia Is not nearer the truth. If his excuse that the only reason Mr. Price was not chosen na- tional committeeman was that the conven- tion required that only some one on the ground be chosen were made in good faith, he would have handed his resignation in to the national committee before he left for home, that the choice of Alaska repub- lcans could be appointed to the vacancy. This is so obviously true, that Mr. Grant, of WrangeI, and Judge Tustin who was chairman of the Juneau convention, said he would unquestionablv do so.
 There is only one solution of MT, Heid's strange action. He deliberately and with reconciliation betrayed the republican party of Alaska. The press accounts of the con- yention proceedings and the statements of delegates present leaves no alternative.
 1t MT, Held can afford to parade in stolen livery, Alaskan republicans can stand it. but they will know how to act in the fu- ture.

MASON ON THE ALASKA TAX

Senator Mason's remarks on the infa- nous Alaskan license tax are to the point. His position is founded on the basic prin' ciples of our country. So plain does he make the case that the strange part of the whole matter Is that such an unprecedent- ed law should get on the statute books.
 The reason assigned by Senat Mason for his vote no doubt will explain that of the majority of the senators and represen- tatives. Where so many matters are acted upon as come up before the national cons gross 1t Is impossible for the members to Investigate everything. They have to de- pend largely upon the members of the com. mittees who have charge.of the particular questions for their action. But that such d bill could ever secure the favorable action of senate or a house committee of an American congress seems beyond compre- hension.
 If Senator Mason acts as he says he will. there seems no reason to doubt that the abrogation of the unjust tax will be not later than the adjournment of the second session of congress. The question only needs to be presented to American states men in its true light to be repudiated. It is not at all probable that the majority of the national legislators will. like MT. Warner. consider 1t inevitable that pen altv should attach to doing business in Alaska unknown to any other American state, territory, district, province or colony.
