SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
CHILD LABOR.

Charity and Children.
There is grave danger that the legisla-
ture will fell, after ALL to give the
children Of the cotton factories the pso-
lection their weakness and helplessaess
demand at their hands.
The plea is made that any legislation
restraining in any way the cotton mill
owners will have tendency to injure the
mill business which has assumed so vast
proportions in North Carolina.
An agreement has been entered into by
practically all the cotton mill men in the
State pledging themselves to abide by
the conditions named in the proposed bill.
This may be accepted by the legislature
as solution of the vast problem commit
ted TO their hands. But they will be
greatly mistaken, in our judgment, if they
pay the least attention TO this proposition.
If the mill men are willing to accept
the conditions the proposed law imposes
voluntarily what in the name OF common
sense is their objection TO accepting the
bill as the law of the land? They confess
that it is just and right by agreeing to
ali its demands in advance. That should
settle the matter with the Legislature for
good and ALL
The truth is. that agreementment is not
worth the paper on whcih 1t is written.
Some who sign it will adhere to every
line and letter of it: but they are the
very men who already treat their opera
tives kindly and Justly. No law is need
ed TO compel them 10 do right, for they
do right anyhow. They are honorable and
just men who are interested in the ment-
al, moral and physical welfare OF the
children they employ.

in taxes on manufactured tobacco.
CONGRESSMAN Swanson, OF Virginia, no
titled the tobacconists that if immediate
action was NOT taken in the matter it
might be deferred for a neriOd of live
years. Accordingly call was issued TO
the tobacco men of Virginia and North
Carolina, with the result OF the meeting
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved 1st. That we heartily FAVOR
the reduction OF the tax on manufactured
chewing and smoking tobaccoS from Il
to cents per pound as passed by the
Senate, including the rebate feature on
unbroken packages.
Resolved End That We respectfully in
wife the attention of Congress TO the fact
that when he late war revenue bill was
enacted that the tax on tobacco was in
creased 100 per cent, which was much
larger increase than the tax on any other
product.
Resolved 3rd That n justice to the pro-
ducers, consumers dealers and manufac-.
turers. we are of the oninion that this
reduction should be made for the reason
that tobacco is bearing q greater proper
ton of taxation than the tax on any other
product
The tobacco men are thoroughly arous-
ed and if given half chance stubborn
fight will be made to secure the passage
of the bill.

rMpEACHENT INCIDENTS.

The history the successful efforts of
the representatives of the people in the
General Assembly CT North Carolina to
be rid OF an offensive Chief Justice of
the Supreme court, is interesting just
at this time.
When George burlington was Governor
of the State, serving his term under APP
pointment by the Crown. after the sur
render of the government by the Lords
Proprietors he appointed as his second
Chief Justice, Mr.. William Little. About
1888 the Assembly passed resolution
charging the Chief Justice with official
oppression, and with taking unlawful
fees. The judges were paid fees in those
days in lieu Of salary, the fees being
fixed by the Legislature. Judge Titles
defence was denial of the charge OF
oppressive conduct as a Judge, and that
the fees he took were those prescribed
by the Legislature subject TO scale
which the court applied because of diff
ference in value of the kinds of money in
circulation.
When the Assembly passed its resolu-
ton Chief Justice Little presented long
petition to the Governor and his Council,
claiming that that body, as the upper
branch of the legislative body, which had
the power of appointment, was the only
hot fnr iaio mis-
conduct Governor burlington sent the
petition TO the Assembly. which theE
passed a resolution declaring that it
would prefer the charges against the
Chief Justice and establish their truth,
hut would do so in it's own time, and
would not do so then, as the Chief JUS
tice was evidently relying upon the
friendship of the Governor and his Coun-
Gil, rather than upon his innocence.
The Assembly did not stop at this, but
few days afterwards, it passed another
resolution. in which it was declared that
the petition of the Chief Justice was &
contempt of the Assembly, and the door
keeper was, directed TO arrest the CHER
Justice and put him in Jail to answer the
charge OF contempt. Immediately the
Governor, who possessed that power, dis
solved the Legislature and thus secured
the release Of his Chief Justice. But the
Legislature were not satisfied and carried
the matter TO London, with full descrip-
tions of the arbitrary action OF these Off
cials. When the Assembly again assem-
bled. about the second or third day OF the
session, and before any legislation was
undertaken, word was received that a
new Governor had arrived on the Cape
Fear, and thus ended the career OF Chief
Justice Little.

PRESIDENT IS DEFIED
BY HISTORIAN MACLAY

New York. Dec. 24.-Edgar Stanton
Maclay. whose connection with the
Schley case led President Roosevelt to
request his resignation as special Ia
borer in the navy, made formal de-
mand yesterday for trial by usual
naval procedure. He averred that his
case came under the civil service law
and that he could not be dismissed
without formal charges. trial and con
viction. The request for his resisna-
ton was sent to him by Rear Admiral
Barker. commander of the navy yard
at Brooklyn, and he replied at once by
letter, formally setting forth his posi-
ton.
Discussing the case Maclay said:
''The President cannot have me dis
missed under the law as l see it. | do
not see how he can force me out l
am protected by the civil service laws
enacted by Congress, whose enactments
the President is bound to execute. l
do not know positively. but l believe
my position under the civil service,
furnishes me complete protection so
long as | violate no rule of the service,
and that have not done and / have so
stated in my letter to the commandant
in answer to the request for my resiS-
nation. No. did not say the President
is as bad as the cZar of Russia.
Il have done nothing more than
write to the commandant and ask that
charges be preferred against me, and
will do nothing more just now. | have
not been suspended and am working
here to-day. as l have been doing for
fifteen months. | have tried to do my
duty here and have broken no rules
and shall simply stand by my rights,
more for the principle of the matter
than anything else. for my position here
pays me very little and is chiefly val
liable becouSe of the experience and in
formation it affords me as material for
my books"
Rear Admiral Barker forwarded Mae
lays letter to Washington.

SHAFROTH HAS HOPES
FOR SOLDIERS HOME

Washington, Dec. 10.-Representa-
tive Shafroth yesterday reintroduced a
bill to establish branch soldiers
home in Denver or within a radius of
five miles. The bill provides that the
home shall not be located on a tract of
land of less than 100 acres and shall
cost S2J0,OOO. Mr.. Shafroth secured Il
favorable report on this bill from the
committee on military affairs i'll the
last Congress. Owing to the large
amount of business then before Con-
grcSs 1t was not reached at that time,
but Mr.. Shafroth hopes to get the bill
through at this session.
Representative Bowcrsock Of Kansas
introduced Il bill for leasing the graz
ing lands of the country west of the
10th degree of longitude Under the bill
lands will be leased ut Il uniform rent
al of 9 cents an acre, leases to run ten
years, with privilege of renewal. Ten
acres of leasehold will be allowed for
each acre of freehold. All leased lands
are to be subject to homestead and
mineral entry and receipts from rent
ais are to 90 into a fund for the re-
clamation of arid lands.
Representative Bell has been advised
by the Geological Survey that its re-
port will shortly be submitted on the
Gunnison tunnel project, which is de-
signed to convey the waters of the
Gunnison river through the Mesa
Verde and irrigate n large area of
lands now nonproduclivc. The esti-
mated cost of the project is S60O.O00
and it is believed with this appropria-
ton the work can be finished in one
year
Senator Teller has been advised by
the Geological Survey that the pro-
posed plan of creating the Las .tnmaS
forest reserve in southern Colorado
has been carefully examined by the
geographer of the survey, ard that it
is deemed advisable to recommend its
establishment. Many protests against
the creation of this reserve have been
received.
