JAPAN's RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.

Japan IS fighting for her national ex-
istence, and IN a righteous cause. Rus
STA is fighting a war of aggression, and
to carry out her schemes for the ezten-
sion Of the most damnable desPOtism on
earth. It is commended by some that be
cause Russia befriended the United
States IN the revolutionary and the civil
wars, therefore, the. United States
should befriend Russia in the present
war with Japan. This does not follow
by any means, and for several reasons.
In our wars, referred to, in which
Russia rendered US a timely and an
invaluable service, we were right, eter-
nally right; now she is wrong, eternally
wrong. Then it was aid to the weak
against the strong. Now it would be
aid to the strong against the weak. In
the next place Russia's action was not
disinterested in the cases cited. It was
hatred of Great Britain, her ancient en-
envy, and her motive was purely selfish
In the present instance, Japan IS a na-
ton peculiarly friendly to the United
States, and is shaping her civilization
on the model of our institutions; and
throughout her entire domain there is
complete civil and religious liberty
Whereas Russia's system is the repres-
sion of all democratic ideas, and her
appeals are to the sword, the knOut and
the dungeons and prisons Of Siberia
In 1894 Japan waged war with China
in defence of Korea, which China had
attempted to seize China was beaten
in a brief war, and at its conclusion,
Japan, in the treaty of peace, safe
guarded the integrity of Korea, and
China was compelled to pay large war
indemnity to Japan and to cede her the
important fortress OF Port Arthur, and
TO recognize the paramount interests
of Japan in Manchuria The treaty
was signed April II, 1895. On Novem-
Der 8, 1895, at the instance of Russia,
Great Britain, Germany and France,
which had united with Russia to par
tition China, Japan was compelled to
relinquish Port Arthur to Russia, upon
a temporary, and pretended suzeranity
over Manchuria, and q treaty with
the aforesaid powers, and Japan, that
all should be restored to China on a
given date.

being the lucky one, he having guessed
that there were 8, 494 beans in the Jar,
which actually contained 8,49I- Seven

winning number. T. P. Leonard got
the beans with a guess of 1000, 600.
When he was making his guess, Mr..
Leonard volunteered the remark, eff

The out-of-dOor boy is the fellow for me.
Who finds companion in mountain and

Who likes to 80 camping, who likes to be

His good mother nature all through the
long year.
Who never complains when a rough spot
is met,
whose nag at the masthead Of honor is
Who's strong in his labor and strong in his
play,
Who has an ambition to better each day.
The boy who loves nature and all that she
lends,
And with all creatures living is bound to
be friends
He may be a huntsman OF fisher. and stiu

To Keep my baby the long, still night

A NATIONAL FIGHT.

A portion of the public is laboring
under the impression that the Char
lotte Typographical Union is individ-
ually' responsible for the demand for
an eight hour a day law. This is err
ror. The matter was submitted to the
thousands of members of the Typo
graphical Union in the United States
and upon vote large majori-
ty voted in favor of making the de-
mand for an eight hour law.
- In most places the proprietors
agreed to the change. AS to the
News and Observer it has long had
an eight hour law with all its limo
type operators, and early in the year
it agreed to a sliding scale of reduc-
ton in hours with the three other
men in its office so that after January
LIST all printers in the office,as well as
the linotype operators, will work only
eight hours each day. Here
tofore there were two standards
OF time i'll the printing office
of this paper-one short day for I'm
otype operators and longer day for
Ine other printers.
The demand for shorter hour af
ffected few newspapers materially
only the job printing establishments
and the newspapers that do job print
ing. 1t has been made in every town
or city in America where there is>a
local branch of the Typographical
Union. In some places the employ
l,1.t
and no change in price. In others,
the employers declined to agree to
the reduction ordered by the Typo
graphical Union. and under the rules
of the Union the men have or will
quit work in such offices before jan
uary first All such matters ought to
be settled by conference and united
interchange of opinion between the
publisher and the printer.

THE RHODES SCHOLARS.
Forty Sailed From Philadelphia fOl
Oxford. England. Yesterday.

To the Editor:-This morning ut
ten o'clock there will sail from Phil
adelphia by the American Line steam
ship "Haverford" 40 Rhodes scholars
from "the states" Last year they sail
ed from Boston by the Cunard Line
and there were thirty-five in that
party. This years party is composed
of both Rhodes men who have spent
a year at Oxford and new appolntees
going over for the first time. Each
State is entitled to two representa-
tives, but they don't enter at the
same time, in other words they dove
tan the terms. In the first appoint,
ment, 43 States were represented

unteered the further information that
the railroads had been exceedingly
stealthy in working up rates and that
the work had been done so cleverly
that the public as a whole was still
in ignorance of what had been going
on, although shippers understood the
situation thoroughly. If this state
ment is true, the fact as given will go
a long way to account for the extreme
bullishness of the powerful financial
interests behind the leading railroads
of the country. These interests have
been steadily adding to their holdings
and have almost exhausted the float
ing supplies of stocks in some cases
The ton of stocks in the
hands of insiders has been one of the
marvellous features of the market dur
ing the last three years Broadly
speaking, there has been practically
no public in the market since the
liquidation of 1929 but prices have
continuously advanced for year or
more. Manipulation has been given
as the reason for the uplift in prices
but this explanation is shallow and in
sufficient. The stocks have simply
gone into the hands of the rich men
who run railroads. They have posi-
tive and accurate knowledge of the
extent to which rates hav been moved
up and they know precisely what it
means in increased revenues and en-
larged property valuation"

of North Carolina. who wish to
have their lives insured and who
are insuring their lives will give
me the premiums for a year they are
paying northern corporations to in
sure them, l will agree to pay all pol
icies that become due during the year.

insure with me one million dollars as
a bonus for insuring with me. Where
will | get so much money? Why. I
will get it from the people who insure
of course l will be fully able TO do
this. for at the close of one year, after
paying all policies and bonus of a
million dollars to the kind people who
insure with me, | will be a million
aire. Yes. | will have made clear a
million dollars in year to invest right

lima. l will then indeed think life in
surance a good thing-for mo.

A CORRECTION.
WesIey's Humes Lead All the Rest in
the New Hymna1.

To the Editor:-In your issue of
yesterday it is said: THE new hyrhnal
of the Southern and Northern Meth
odist Episcopal church will soon DC
held in the churches of that Genomi-
nation in this city" by
a process of elimination the best of
the old and of the modern hymns
were selected. In the new volume
there are but seventy-five hymns OF
Charles Wesley, whereas, in the old
his works predominant"
There are in the whole book 71I
hymns. representing 800 authors. OF
these Charles Wesley leads the whole
with 100 hymns, Isaac Watts has 81,
Dodridge 21, Montgomery IS, John
Wesley. Faber and Bonar IL each, and
there are but 4 of the remaining au-
thors who have more than 5 hymns
in the book.
The ritual of the two churches is
materially different. and except for
the hymns, each church will need its
own hymnal.

IMPORTANT LITIGATION,

The impression has gone abroaC
that the differences 5etU cen the straw.
berry growers and the Armour Com.
pany have been settled and that the
truck men have been paid for the
losses sustained by reason of the fail.
ure to supply cars TO transport the
crop. 1t seems that this understand
ing is incorrect, for the Truckers
journal of this week says:
The truckers have by NJ means
given up the idea of inst;tuting suit:
against the Atlantic Coast Line, Fruit
Growers Express and Southern Ex-
press Company for damage caused
by the lack of cars AMI tfanspcrta-
toll III the handling of the berry crop
last May. 1t is true that an agree
ment was reached with the Armour
Car Line by which many claims were
settled, but there are claims still
pending. Some 80 or 40 cases are to
be brought and they will, in all prob
ability be brought in the same county.
The majority of the suits will be
brought by Messrs. Rountree and Carr,
which firm represents the Truck
Growers Association. The suits may
be brought in New Hanover county,
but no matter in what county they
are brought the governor will be pc
titioned to call special term of court
to try them. For the past three months
those who intend to bring the suits
have been collecting data in regard
to the special shipments on which the
suit is to be brought. There will be
several points regarding transporta-
ton brought out in these cases that
have never before been passed upon
in the North Carolina courts. If
these points prove to be well taken
and the truck growers are sustained,
il will be of great advantage to the
truckers in the future. These suits
will very likely be brought in the next
few weeks
The greatest robber in the way of
transportation in America is this re-
frigerator car trust. 1t holds up
railroads that are not in league with
and shippers often lose money for
the lack of adequate service. Luckily
for the strawberry shippers, whose
crops rotted last spring, they have
the Atlantic Coast Line between them
and the refrigerator car trust and d
statute passed by the Legislature of
1899 provides heavy penalties for fail
ure to furnish prompt transportation.
That law and the Atlantic Coast Lines
liability alone saved the strawberry
growers last spring. And yet some
fellows come about telling us that it
is dangerous to try to regulate trans
portation corporations by law, and
that owners of railroads ought to be
permitted to run their own business
as they see fit" If that doctrine had
prevailed, where would the strawberry
be today?

Meanest Thing In The World.

Selling liquor contrary to the law
is the meanest thing in the world.
The man who sells it expects so
much of the man VINO buys. He ex-
poets him to swear to a lie. and Of
ten that is what's done. If not, the
seller feels a grudge against the fellow
who did not protect him. Where you
have lawful method of selling liquor,
those engaged in it ought to be re-
quired to live by the provisions of
the law and keep within its limitations.
