Will Oppose Confirmation Of Negro.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer
The New York Evening Post says:
at was rumOred at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel to-day that Senator's Platt and
Depew will try to hold up the appoint
ment OF Charles ". Anderson, the negro
whom President Roosevelt selected as
collector Of internal revenue for the sec
Ond New York district. They will not
oppose confirmation on the floor of the
Senate, it was said, but they will do all
they can to hold up Anderson's name in
committee. NocOnfrmation of the rumor
could be obtained, but it is known that
neither Platt nor Depew recommended
the appointment
The negro will doubtless be confirm
ed by the Senate in due time, as was
DIR. Crum, of Charleston. Senator
Depew, we believe. was one of the Re-
publicans whom Tillman for a time
counted on to help him defeat the
Charleston negro, but who did not
do so.

IT is now up to the constituted au-
thOrities to enforce the law against
Migrants. The excuse has been here
tofOre that the law was not strong
enough to get at this class. But that is
no longer the case. The law is strong
enough if those who administer the
law will only apply it. Let there be
an end to vagrancy There is work
enough for all to do and if any be
found who will not work voluntarily
they should be forced to do SO or
leave. Too many consumers who are
not producers are q curse to any
community and the fiat should be
work or move on.

CHILD LABOR UNNECESSARY.
Adults Should DO the Work that f.
Now Done by Children.
PHILADELPHIA Press


II all the children who hold Certificates
showing they are just 10 years Of age under
the child labor act OF 1901 were actually ls
years Of age Major John c, Delaney, chief
factory inspector, might be justified in his
answer to the Kensington textile workers
proposing not TO disturb these children in
the few months left before they reach IA
years, the age required under the new act
1905.
But 1t is notorious that under the act of
1901 host of children hold certificates
VINO were really only II or 70 years old or
younger. Moreover, the act of 1906 not only
raised the age to Il, but 1t required a new
educational qualification.
Children with only few months before
they are IA must, we fear, suffer the sad
and unmerited penalty Of labor and insuffi-
cient instruction But It is Major Delaney's
plain duty 10 challenge all labor certificates
under the act Of 1901 where children seem
too young (under 13 and require the record
evidence provided by the act OF 1906.
II these children have not enough school
ing let them go to school. Let Major Della
ney enforce the law instead OF lodging IL.
Neither need Major Delaney be so anxious
TO prevent child from having TO study
until he or she is l6. since the law requires
this OF children unsehooled. Who is Major
Delaney 20 put himself above the law?
1t is monstrous. TO, that the "chief fac
tory inspector" should speak Of this "neces-
sity' Of child labor. No child labor is
necessary. Every child whose work is
stopped Will be replaced by an adult.
! Necessary child labor may be TO employ
ers prohts. To this commonwealth It is
not only unnecessary, it is pernicious.
II night labor is still required OF mere
children In this state in glassworks, where
poor, stunted children are having their
strength sapped by working through weary
nights, II is not because Of any necessity %
but because Of the hardness OF mem
hearts, and one OF the hardest Of all was
Major Delaney's who surrendered the fight
against night child labor in gIasswogks be
! fore II had begun.

TIE BRITISH ATTITTDE.

Accepting as authoritative the state
ment from Washington regarding the
attitude of the British government
toward the coming peace conference,
Great Britain intends to stand by Japan
in whatever the latter shall demand as
terms Of peace The statement is that
the British government will offer no ad-
vice to it's ally, though 1t will be willing
to give counsel II 1t should be asked.
1t expects, in common with other gov
ernments, that japan will ask nothing
immoderate or unreasonable and it very
likely has good reason for this view.
But in any event, according to the re-
port, Great Britain will not be adverse
TO the japanese demands, whatever they
may be.
This is easily understood and there
can be no mistake as to its significance.
The alliance between Great Britain and
Japan it is the very earnest desire Of
the former TO continue and make
stronger. 1t is said that negotiations
are now in progress with this in view,
although the treaty has two years TO
run. In British politics there Is no ques-
tion as 10 the expediency of maintaining
in Asia. 1t is recognized as being alb
solutely necessary TO the security of
British interests in China and in India,
1t has been suggested that Russia may
seek an alliance with Japan. 1t is pos
sible, though il is hardly conceivable
that Japan would seriously consider
such n proposition. She has every rea-
son to be distrustful of anything pro-
ceeding from Russia. That power has
never dealt fairly and honestly with her
In all their diplomatic intercourse the
Russian government has sought to OBJ
/ tain an unfair advantage II has unit
| formly been uncOndid and perfdious.
On the other hand Great Britain has
been honest and straightforward. Japan
fully understands and appreciates the
/ fact that the British alliance has been
her chief security in the war with Rus
STA. There can be no doubt that but for
that Russia would have received sup
port from her ally, France, and possibly
also from Germany. IL is not TO be for
gotten that France has not observed
neutrality as strictly or faithfully as she
should have done, while Germany has
very distinctly shown sympathy with
Russia. Had it not been for the under
standing between Great Britain and
Japan the manifestations Of unfriendli-
ness toward the latter on the part OF the
continental powers would very probably
have been much more pronounced.
Thus 1t is that Japan is deeply in
