Now that the federal supreme court
has declared the constitutionality Of
that part of the immigration law which
provides for keeping out of his coun-
try all avowed anarchists we hope the
Officials intrusted with the enforcement
of this law will do their duty to the
fullest extent. This country should not
be allowed to become the dumping
ground of the refuse Of European popu-
lation or to be made a place of refuge
for the enemies of law and order Of
other countries. Because this is a
of.free institutions is no rea-
son it should become the home Of regi-
Icides and OF enemies of government
and society. We should have enforced
laws long ago against all anarch-
lists and nihilists of Europe. 1t should
mot only oe the law that such persons
|%cannot land on our shores, but when
lever foreigners holding such views are
found here they should be shipped to
the country from which they came.

1t was q pretty warm time in the
court house at Lumberton Monday
while the contempt ase was up before
Judge PEBBLES. The Judge overruled
Jail the motions of the respondents
then intimated that he may grant them
as a favor. There was some fine fenc-
ing on both sides. Each side is playing
for position. 1t looks now as if the
Judge would eventually allow the case
to be tried before some other judge,
although it was said at first hat no
one but Judge PEBBLES could hear and
determine it. The judge does not seem
Ito be as positive of his position as
he was at first.

There was the right ring to that ad-
dress of Governor-elect Blanchard, OF
Louisiana. Equal rights fair treat
ment and justice to the negro. with no
approach 10 social equality. Education
Eof h negro along industrial lines, with
encouragement to become thrifty, in
ldustrious n relfreliant in providing
a livelihood and improving the condi-
ltion OF his race. This should be the at
negro; and we believe it Is OF a large
majority OF our white population. The
higher education of the negro is not de-
sired by the white people. We do not
believe they are in favor OF heavily
taxing themselves to give the negro an
high school and collegiats edulation.
The News-Leader Of Richmond in an
editorial On the Ogden movement said:
The masses OF the people-the white
lpeople-of the south will continue to
WELCOME them (the members Of tn Ed

lcome them If they sought nothing but
the education of the negro, for the
masses Of the white people want the
negro educated"
The Leader is correct in one respect,
but not I'm the way dn which it meant
Tits words to be taken. The white peo-
lple Of the south do want the negro ed
lucated along lines which will make him
industrious and a good citizen in his

HOW MODERN STEEL PIERS
STOPPED a GREAT FIRE
Testimony of Experts on ValuC of
Steel Structures in Staying Con-
flagratiOnS

A special correspondent who had
unusual opportunities for observing
the recent burning of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western piers while
plying on the North River in front of
Hoboken, reported that every spec
tator was impressed with the efficient
manner in which the adjacent steel
piers arrested the further progress of
the fire and prevented its spread along
the river front. Without in any way
minimizing the need of modern fire
boats and the good work of the met
ropolitan fire departments, property
owners and public officials realize the
necessity of building all new wharf
structures with fire-reSiSting materi-
ais, and steel, in conjunction with con-
crete, has proved its wonderful eff
ficiency in preventing and retarding
serious conflagrations. Gustav H.
Schwab of the North German Lloyd
Company recently stated to the New
York Tribune that the steel piers
which they built after the 1900 dis
aster were not only constructed as
fireproof as could be devised, but they
have also been an advantage in an
economical way, as they Withstand the
elements and reduce the cost of re-
pairs to minimum. Dock Commits
sioner Featherson approved the con-
struction of the eight new piers in the
Chelsea extension, as we'll as the other
piers built within the last seven years.
all of which are constructed with steel
sheds. L. T.. Loomis, vice president
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railway, stated that his road
intended to replace the burned prop
erty with modern fireproof structures
which will undoubtedly comprise
much steel. 1t is also understood that
other cities are following the lead of
New York in the erection of steel
piers and wharf sheds, among which
may be recalled Montreal, Canada,
and even such distant ports as Tam
| pico and Progreso, Mexico.-Balti-
