Move Them Out in the Country.
Charlotte Observer.

The usual summer story comes
from the tenement districts OF the
cities-that little children spoken of
by a contemporary as 'the most
helpless of all young animals are
dying like flies under the influence of
the heat, unsanitary conditions and
ma[nutrition. 1t were better to
bring them to the country, where the
air is fresh and the waterpure. Then
they would live and live to be some
bodies, at that Ii they survive the
conditions under which they we're
born in the crowded and unhealthful
city surroundings they cannot but
grow up enfeebled in mind and body,
mere travesties of men and women
and likely, before they reach old age,
to become burdens upon society,
having in the meantime too often
propagated Il second generation of
their kind.

Laxity Of the Law.
RoanOke-Chowan Times.


The subject of law enforcement is
one Of grave Importance to the peo-
pie of North Carolina at this time
The laxity that has prevailed in SO
many of our courts of justice has
brought about a serious condition of
affairs which should be freely dis
cussed in the public prints that Il
remedy may be found. The only
remedy is in creating a strong,
healthy sentiment in favor of en-
forcing the good laws and repeating
the bad, if any, and electing judges
who will regard that sentiment.
The people, as we'll as the judges, are
to blame to some extent for the con-
ditions that prevail. Some time ago
one our best Judges stated in his
charge to the grand jury in North
amptOn that many citizens appealed
to him wherever he held court to
stay the hand of iustice-to let the
criminals off without punishment
and that in all his experience only
one citizen had asked him to uphold
the law.
