glad to see them increase in number and
grow in prosperity; but there is no such
imperative necessity for the creation ana
accumulation of wealth as to justify us
in the sacrifice of child life to secure IT,
Indeed, the State will grow richer by
preserving the health and developing the
minds and hearts of these children than
it can possibly grow by the creation of
any values which their puny arms can
Win"
Nothing could be more just and true
than this The Governor refers to the
thread-b bare argument that children
should be permitted or compelled to work
their lives away to support widowed
mothers or infirm fathers. That is the
favorite argument of the factory man
who wants to coin the lives and intel
lects of children into dollars. But Gov
ernor Aycock intimates that such infirm
and INDECENT parents should be cared for
by the community and that their support
should not be put upon little children.
1t is sad fact that many of these ''in-
digent and infirm" parents are perfectly
willing to live in idleness while their lit
tie children are supporting them. If this
method of gaining a support were with
drawn they would generally find them
selves able to work for their families In
many of the manufacturing States child
labor is prohibited, and we hear of no
great hardship resulting to infirm par
ents.
The right of the State to intervene for
the protection of children, the Governor
noints ont is founded upon the duty of
the State to perpetuate itself by the
care of those who are hereafter to con-
stitute her citizenship. 1t, therefore, be-
comes the duty of the State ito protect
small children against labor which tends
to dwarf them physically, mentally and
morally"

The SOUTHERN TRIES TO DE-

The Southern Railway is determined to
defeat the efforts of the Durham people

while the Corporation Commission could
compel any railroad to build an adequate
depot, it was not clear that it had the
power 10 compel two or three railroads
tc join hands and build union depot.
On Monday MIR. Fuller, of Durham, in
troduced a bill 20 empower the Corpora
ton Commission to compel the construc-
tion of a union depot by two or three
railroads.
On Tuesday the Southern Railway sent
its architect TO Durham and it is given
out that ii will enlarge the big box. called
a depot, that now disgraces Durham. Our
correspondent wires:
''The Southern has hustled it's engin-
GERS here and are pushing work on a new
depot of their own in order 10 keep the

In the meantime, Mr.. Fullers bill was
made special order before the Commit
tee on Railroads Friday afternoon when
Judge Winston, Mr.. V. S Bryant and 9TH
er lassyers from Durham will argue for
its favorable consideration. Of course the
railroad will hire lawyers TO be on hand
to try 20 defeat the measure or to delay
it or 10 cut out its heart They have
delayed building depot ten years and
the Legislature Will not permit them to
use ii to postpone another ten years. AS
soon as the committee recommends the
Fuller bill it will go through the House
by al overwhelming majority, for this
Legislature will not be controlled or
guided by Southern Railway influence
Durham IS entitled to union depot as

Richmond NEWS.
The recent sensational railroad deal
by which the Pennsylvania and New
York Central secured control or the
Reading leaves the East absolutely bot
tied. Philadelphia is a one-railroad city,
the Goulds are shut out of New YORK
and, in fact all that region of enormous
wealth and commerce is deprived or
competition.
Notwithstanding the modern systems
of pooling and fixing rates, every business
man knows the enormous Importance OF
competition to commercial communities.
All of us have seen time after time one
community flourish and expand because
it was touched by competing transporta-
ton lines, while another dried up and
dwindled because all other advantages
it might have were made useless by the
fact that it was "bottled-up'-at the
mercy of a single transportation COM
pany.
In the South, so far, we have been
fortunate in this respect. Richmond.
Atlanta, Savannah, Norfolk, Mobile and
other Southern cities enjoy the advant-
ages of competition against the Southern
Railway Company given them by the
Seaboard Air Line. The policy of the
dependence and to show a, fighting front
to its gigantic adversary. There is every
reason to believe that this policy will
be continued. Our understanding of the
situation is that the Seaboard stock is
so held that no earthly power can wrest
control of it from the present manage
ment, and that the system has such con-
nections and alliances that it can main
tain itself perpetually, regardless of the
disposition or the policies of all other
systems and lines.
This situation gives the South a dis
tinct advantage over the East which 1t
has never before known The Eastern
section with all it's cities, is bottled up
securely The South has competing sys-
TENS and, so far as human foresight can
predict, will retain them. The difference
is bound to tell on the relative prosperity
and progress of the two sections.
