CALL FOR THE ROUGH RIDER.

Tho recommendations of President
Roosevelt to give the Interstate Com
ynerce Commission power 20 fix rail
road rates was the best thing ne mas
ever done. An exchange, referring to
the opposition to the Recommendation,
says:
."This proposal of President Roose-
velt'S has, of course, aroused the most
determined and systematic opposition
among interested parties. IL is salC'
that twenty-nine railroad systems.
comprising practically every railroad
in the country, are being merged into
Il concrete unit for the specific pur-
pose Of overcoming legislation Nfiicf
would throw the power of fixing rates
into the hands of the government. The
roads are burving their individual an
tagoniSns in order to join forces
against the common zoe. The COM
bined strength OF the railways Of the
country IN Washington is hello to be
greater than that of any other COM
bination of interests. With ali OF Their

single purpose, fight is expected that

result will be watched with deep inter-
est by all shippers and consumers in
America, and they will uphold the
hands of the President if he will press
measure that will do the work to a
successful issue.
The opposition is divided into two
camps:
/. Those railroad presidents who
declare that they agree with the Pres
ident but oppose any drastic legisla-
ton. They hope TO get him to agree
to a bill that will turn out to be as
weak and inffective as the Interstate
Commerce Act. II he consents to these
friendly suggestions of the Trojan
horse stamp, he will fall down and let
the Delilah tie his hands.
2. The second class is composed of
men like J. Pierpont Morgan who OPP
pose giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission or any court the power to
regulate rates.
The second sort of opposition will
know what it can do through the lobby
it has sent to Washington. II it can
defeat everything it will do so. If it
sees that it is safer to help to frame

NO CHILD LABOR LAW.

Two years ago, after much discus
sion, the first law regulating child
labor in North Carolina was put upon
the statute books. 1t was the resu;i
of a compromise agreement and has
been in operation only one year. AT
the hearing yesterday the speakers
against the pending bill amending the
law took the ground that no new
legislation should be enacted until the
present law has been in operation
long enough TO test it's value. Besides,
they said there had been a tacit un-
Outstanding that there would be no
further legislation at this session. The
committee evidently looked at the
matter in that light and no legislation
will be enacted at this session of the
General Assembly

Il HAPPY YEARS

Once a Much Emaciated Specimen of
Humanity Takes Pleasure Now
in Aiding His Fellow
Men.

This interesting letter has been re-
ceived by Kelley Institute, Green's
boro. n. c.:
"A little over twelve years ago
entered the Kelley Institute at
Greensboro N. c., a much emaciated
specimen of humanity: having been
under the influence of liquor ten or
more years. During the first three
days | ate next to nothing; had no
appetite whatever. The manager of
the dining department seeing that
| did not eat kindly. took me aside
and told me where / could get milk
at al hours. Milk was al [ wanted.
The fourth night at supper my appe-
tite gradually came to me, and be-
fore leaving the table, / had eaten
very heartily. Arising from the table
| went directly to the doctors room
and told him / had eaten enough to
satisfy three men and was afraid 1t
would make me sick. He gave me a
spoonful of pepsin, and assured me
that. ] would suffer no Inconvenience,
and l did not. Slept sweetIy and
soundly that night, and rose next
morning feeling like q two-year-o d,
as some of the boys used to say, and
am proud to say that at no time since
the return of my appetite on that
eventful night have l had the least

not tested anything that would in

Wonder, wonder, how SO much could
be accomplished in SO short time!
The remaining portion of my stay was
one of pleasure. My advice to all I'M
fortunates is to go at once to Green's
boro, n. c., and take the Kelley

and the cure permanent to those who
want to be cured. Don't think as ! did
that YOU wi | have to be thrown in
with a lot of rOughs. Far from it,

THE SITUATION AT ADVANCE.

The Senate has passed a bill amend
ing the charter of the town of Ad-
vance, Davie county, forbidding the
sale, manufacture or rectifying of
liquor in that town. The bill is before
the House. Whether that bill shall
pass or the Legislature will pass one
bill that will knock out all the still
and saloon cross roads, called towns
only in the statute books, seems now
to be the only open question. The
still house towns must go.
Elsewhere we publish a letter from
Mr.. w. G. Hammer, Solicitor of the
district in which Advance is situate.
telling the true history of Advance
and the conditions prevailing there.
1t shows q state of affairs that ought
not to be permitted in this good State.

WHAT CAN 1T INVESTIGATE?

AS to the bonds held by Schaffer &
the jurisdiction and their determine
ton to try to force the State to sell
the North Carolina Railroad SO the
Southern can buy it, this Legislature
can do nothing because It is instruct
ed by the Democratic State Conven-
ton to forever oppose any and all
attempts from any quarter to set aside
the settlement then made Any day
the holders of these bonds can get IS
cents in the dollar for the bonds
every cent which the State received.
But, if the State platform had not de-
creed against another settlement With
these Shylocks than was made with
its other creditors, what could the
State do? Neither Schaffer, nor the
Southern Railway behind him. has
made the state any proposition. Is
the Legislature to appoint commit
tee to go about begging for offers and
dicker,ng with attorneys? IL they have
propositions to make, they should ad-
dress a letter to the Governor of the
State, stating their proposition, and
he would transmit it TO the General
Assembly. Until that is done, the
State would be doing a foolish thing
to appoint a committee to go around
begging Marion Butler, the law firm
of Russell & Ricaud, and the Higher
Up powers for a conference.
Dnly ind
the State twill abide the mandates of
the court" South Dakota has a judg-
ment that gives it right when it can
get it to sell $4,000 worth of stock in
the North Carolina Railroad, now
worth $1,000. The judgment reads
1927 500 and costs" but the collateral
is worth, if it can be made available,
only $17,500 at the highest market
price, and there is considerable doubt
whether the purchaser could obtain
the collateral before 1919.
There are no other facts to be in
vestigated. If South Dakota asks the
State to settle this Judgment without
sale by paying $17,5o0 for the col'at-
eraI it hopes to get by another action,
that would be a matter for the Legis-
lature to gravely consider. Ii South
Dakota asks for no adjustment or
compromise, are we to send commit
tee to Russell, Ricaud, Butler, Petit
grew and the Higher Up crowd (the
power behind the whole tight) and
sask them to get South Dakota to agree
to an investigation that would add no
light 10 the transaction?
If this Legislature does moth
ing at all7-"abides the mandates of
the courts''--South Dakota will get
whatever the $4,000 of stock brings,
provided the Supreme Court orders
the issuance of the stock tho special
stock has ever been issued as collat-
eral for what South Dakota holds) by
the North Carolina Railroad. No
body knows what South Dakota can
in rehearing the Supreme Court
would hold to its S to 4 decision if
called upon to go further and step in
and make orders for the issuance of
certain stock. In the absence of any
body authorized to speak for South Da-
kota, is it not wisest to "sit steady III
the boat" not run to open a Pan
dora's box of Ills, but "abide the man
dates of the court with that dignity
and wisdom that should characterize
the conduct Of great State. con
scious that it has dealt honorably and
fairly with all it's creditors?
