THE $CHILD4LABOR BILL

The conference committee on the va
rious child labor bills finally decided to
recommend the passage Of the Lyle bill,
which provides simply that no child under
the age OF twelve years shall labor In any
mill or factory in the State. r 5 4 r
We were In favor. of the Cabell bill,
but all reforms must be by gradual pro
5cesses, and the Lyle bill Is certainly q
long step in the rigEs direction. Mr..
5Cabell made splendid fight for his bill,
and we have no doubt that IN the course
of time the essential, features of It will
become the law Of Virginia. But 1t Is
perhaps we'll enough to go slow and
educate the people by degrees
The report Of the Committee on the
Lyle bill is a decided victory for the
friends Of legislation in this direction, for
It is a recognition of the principle
involved. The South now has a new
problem to deal with. There was no
factory problem before the war because
there were + mo- factories OF any conse-
quonce In the South. But now that the
factories have come and now that they
are growing from year to year, we have
the problem which the North wrestled
with for SO many years We have the the
advantage over the North, for we have
the benefit OF its experience, and IT Is
sensible for us to profit thereby. 34f ";
Everybody knows that this paper Is OPP
posed to the interference Of government
with private affairs Of life, but all gov
eminent is In a measure soclallstlc. and and
there must be legislation to meet social
istic problems as they arise.
The Lyle bill Is not paternalistlic. II as
some contend, for It does not interfere
with family discipline. It does not pre- pre-
vent parents from putting their children '1'
to work. 1t simply says that factories factories
must not employ children under twelve twelve
Years OF age. 1t Is q good bill and IT
should pass,

OVERLAPPING AN ERROR.

It having been stated that pr. walter
III. pare, 4 North Carollnian ~ birth. and
other members OF tho Southern Edu
Board. had dned with negroes i, New
Yorlt, we wrote TO n prominent member
OF the board to know II It was true, and
received tho reply that tho only foundn.
tlon for the report was that after the
dinner was over one negro came In to
hear the speeches. ~ Rs. Ia 3, (, N
K The Charlotte Observer prints a Letter
from Rev. q, q. vardell, president Of the
Red Springs Seminary, IN which he also
denies the report Mr.. yardell was the
guest Of Dr.. Page and asserts that there
were no negroes at the table and that
none came into the dining room until
after the dinner was over. N 55i4.$
we are sratifted that a number Of the
North Carolina newspapers printing the
original story have now printed the denial,
nnd have expressed thelr qualification
that the report was untrue. AS a3rule IL
Is difficult to catch UP with an error
when 1t has started to run, but this one
has In d largo measure been overtaken
and throttled 3&
In this connection we think It we'll
enough TO correct another error into
which many people seem to have fallen
in connection with tho Forthcoming Con-
ference for Education to be held in this
city They seem to think that 1t is
purely an affair Of the Northern people
ana that the visitors and speakers will In
the main be Northern men. On the con-
trary, tho greater number og visitors and
the greater number Of speakers will be
Southern. There Will DO prominent
Northern educators, but there will be
prominent Southern educators also, and
they will meet together in a spirit Of
conservatism to talk over the situation, to
exchange views and to arrive, as far as
possible at the truth. Al
h For our part, we believe that this move
lnent Is doing more, !. than any ever In
augurated to clear UP misunderstanding
and to remove sectional differences. The
Northern people who come here to see
tho situation as it is go home with very
different views OF the negro question and
Of related questions. It is one thing to
view the situation from afar. It is quite
another to SEQ 1t face to face. The pur-
pose OF this conference Is, first Of all in
vcstigation, and honest Investigation al
ways brings men and women nearer to
the truth. After all It IS the truth that
honest men and women are searching for.

THE TRANSFER SYSTEM

The main point OF contention between
the majority Of the Street Committee tee and arlt
Ia Passenger and Power Company In the
ottor OF transfers Is this: The majority
demand that the company shall give
transfers at points OF divergence as we'll
as at points OF intersection according to
the wish Of the passenger, whereas the
company takes refuge under Its fran
chise and declines to give transfers except
at points OF Intersection.
The provisions OF the ordinance bear
ing upon this question are In the follow
ing language: Each passenger having
paid his fare shall be entitled to ride
to tho end Of the line on which he takes
passage, or, at the option OF the passen-
ger, he may demand and receive from the
conductor OF the car upon which he first
took passage a transfer ticket, without
additional charge. which fare and trans
fer ticket shall entitle such passenger
to ride upon such car upon which no has
taken passage to the point whore the
said line intersects with the line to which
said passenger desires to be- transferred,
and after arriving Mt sald point OF inter-
section, such passenger may take passage
on the line indicated on his transfer
ticket, etc, L.
To illustrates; passenger boarding

der this ordinance to transfer to the Clay
street line at Twenty-flrst Street, the

be no question on this point, and the CITY
Attorney Is clearly OF the opinion that
the company cannot be compelled by the
Council to Yield 1t, He says that the
company has the right to insist that q
