REMEDY FOR N c Il

We think the remedy for lynching
is the establishment of a civil court
analogous to the military drum head
court martial, which can try and pun
ish such criminals on the spot, without
delays incident to the ordinary cOurs
of the Law. The reason for such lynch
ings is that the people are not willing
TO RISK the law to ado qIateiy punish
the crime, and go to make sure, they
proceed to mhi3t the punishment them
selves.
We have before made this sugges
ton, and now that this horrible iECi-
dem has taken place, the need OF some
such court is emphasized. and the new
legislature being abont to Assem- Die,
makes this an opportune time for re
nswing the suggestion. Lot all the
establish such courts. Thus the
people will know that such crimes will
be promptly and fly punished, and
aIl excuse for IyDchIng will be taken

POVERTY AND PROSPERITY.

There is nothing in the condition of
the rich to excite sympathy, whether
the rich be individuals or corporations.
The people who labor and who are poor
are the g to be considered.
There ia a shout of prosperity from
many, but it comes because the monied
interests are waxing fat and the bond
holders and stockholders are clipping
coupons, not because the mass g are
finding an improved condition of
things These earn their bread by
daily toll, when they can get it, are
ofTimes overworked and i'll paid, with
poor surroundings and with children
growing up with little chance OF edu
cation and with scsDGy hope
DYER North Carolina we find higher
institutions OF learning reporting in
creased attendance. But what about
the children of the poor. Are they
crowding the free schoote7 Hardly 70.
we think. 1t looks as if education and
prosperity we're alike, in that they go
TO the rich while the poor are frozen
out.
Ole reason is that the children Of
the poor must labor in order to help
feed the family; without their aid
absolute penury would come. The
necessary money for clothes and books
and shoes is lacking. The parent and
Child alike dread the gibes OF the
public, and un5aught and idle the
young girl or boy stays at home rather
than face companions who are better
dressed and groomed than they.
The average wages of labor is about
a dolla- a day in the city and fifty
cents in the country. How far this
goes towards caring for wife and
children is a problem. Yet this is what
the present heralded prosperity is
doing, but it is a case Of prosperity for
the prosperous and poverty for the
poor. It'll such things are remedied
We cannot claim that the golden JUL
lee of national prosperity is being cele
brated IN the United States. Wilson

THs GOVERNMENT AND THE

Tde power to deal with the ''truss"

general Government If il is ever TO be
effsctiveIy exercised. At present the
power is divided between forty five
State L3sis'a'uEe7, with q residuum of
power In Congress applicable where
Interstate commerce IL directly in
volved. No doubt Congress could
enact a law which would cause an
nOyance to some OF the trusts; out it is
absolutely powerless TO deal with the
trust question c0mpr9hensively. State
Legislatures may deal with some
phases OF the q g~estion; but they are
apparently equally powerless to deal
with it effectively. M3nitestly, the
first thing to be done is to get the
power to deal with the problem lodged
somewhere. at the present juncture
the rational aud practic Il thing for
