should Not Wait for LeSiSlature-The
Governor Has Power to Act NOW.

Greensboro Record.
The Raleigh News and Observer
talks like it was getting on hot trail.
Governor Glenn has been looking into
the provisions for the insane which
as every one knows, has been made
ouate for years. Jails and poor houses
are full of the INDECENT insane. The
News and Observer says that the law
is being violated in that the aSylums
for the insane are filing up-haVe
been filled up, in fact-with pay pa
tents TO the exclusion of those who
cannot pay; in other words that the
duty of the asylums is to first care for
the INDECENT insane. and if any room
be left then look after those who can
pay FOR treatment. We do not know
the provisions of the law relating to
the caring Of insane-those who can
and those who cannot pay-but one
thing is sure, more room is needed
for them, and it should have been
provided years ago. Now that nov
ernor Glenn has taken hold of the
matter he will lay every fact bare be-
fore the legislature and the people
will be able to see the inside.

Too Much Talk

Providence Or. ID Journal.
The President must be thought to
be giving too free rein to his indigna-
tion when he charges Mr.. Henry NJ
Whitney with deliberately misrepre-
senting him in the recent MaSSachu-
setts campaign. If he had said that
the Bav State tariff reform leader was
circulating an incOrrect version of the
views expressed in an informal inter
view a year ago no one would have
doubted him and no hard feelings
would have been caused. MiSunder-
standing of the often incompletely
framed opinions expressed in general
conversation is always easy; and Mr.
Whitney may have as readily fallen
into error as another. But few Will
believe that q man of his character
and standing has been deliberately at
tributing to Mr.. Roosevelt statements
which he knows the latter did moi
make. To be called a liar publicly and
BY name IS a very serious matter,
and the man who has the power thus

more careful! about using il than Pres
ident Roosevelt was IN this case.

JAMES O. LITCHFORD.

The shocking accident which re-
suited in the death on sunday morn
ing of Mr.. James o. Litchford hap
pened under circumstances which rem
der it one of the saddest in the history
of the city. Walking along on a quiet
street in the bright light af an autumn
afternoon. death came upon him sud-
denly and without hint of warning.
Starting from his home with promise
on his lips to return in short while
to take a drive with his wife, he was
stricken down without another known
word to die within a few hours from
his injuries.
Like so many men who die so in the
unguarded moment. Mr.. LitchfOrd had
everything to live for. He had made
the best of his life, rising from boy
hood of poverty to an important posi-
ton in the leading savings bank in the
state, through his own effort and in
tegrity. He had the respect of all his
business associates and the love OF
many friends. He had been married
but az few years. His home he had
but recently built and furnished. He
was young. His future was assured
for good, and full of possibilities. In
a moment ii the glare OF day, death
found him before he could even look
it in the face.
For his stricken widow. for his de-
voted brother and sisters. the SYM
natl,v of the entire citV goes out along
with a deep regret at the untimeiy enc
of a useful life. Somewhere. in the
warp and woof of time. the reason
lies secure; in the face of its lnscru'
liability there remains but sorrow
unalloyed except as there Is meaning
in a life well spent. in the record OF a
man who went the quieu way of his
duty making and keeping friends. and
was true TO the trust reposed IN nm.

No State in the Republic is more
aroused over the insurance scandals
than North Carolina. It's people can
stand for a good many things. Out
they do not tolerate any tamperinS
with trust funds. If a man falls a
victim TO strong drink. we lift him up
send him to Kelley, and try to put
him on his feet; if he strikes another
man i'll the heat of passion and re-
grets the result of his temper. we are
not severe upon him: if he handles
the truth somewhat carelessly In a
horse trade, that is set down as a
weakness to which flesh is heir-but
if a man is made guardian or truS-
tee and robs widows and orphans,
for such man there is no forgiveness
and no letting up until he makes res
titution 1t is because of this inbora
hatred of robbing the weak and tine,
helpless that North Carolina people
have been deeply aroused at the evil
dence showing that the trustees of
the big life insurance companies have
been robbing widows and orphans i'll
order to make themselves rich be-
yond the dreams of avarice.
Elsewhere we print a letter from
Governor Glenn in answer TO inquiries
that have been made as to why North
Carolina has taken no action. The
Governor has been diligent TO study
h. Low ho ha nnI1l1 for
the protection of the people of the
State, but there is no law giving any
official authority to do anything. He,
therefore gives his view of the insuS-
ance wrongs and states that he will
recommend legislation that will en-
able the State Council and Insurance
Commissioner TO exclude from the
State all companies that do not have
clean hands and clean records. His
letter rings clear and shows that he
only lacks the power to move in Il
manner that would compel reform and
restitution. Unless the lobbyists, who
get a deserved lick from the Governor,
get i'm their work in the next Legisla-
lure, the 1ONeTuOI WISE lcCollIiIicii-
dation will be favorably acted upon.
The insurance legislation of North
Carolina has been written too much
from the view point of the companies
and too little from the view point of
the policy-holders. 1t will be of the
highest Importance to have legislators
who will study the insurance uucs-
lion and make laws for the protection
Of policy holders as well as the insur-
lnce companies.
The people will applaud the Gov
ernorS reference To our honestly
managed and safe home companies.
When they began to get large business.
an attempt was made TO destroy con-
fidence in them by comparing them
to "the Staunton companies assess
ment concerns organized upon plans
wholly different. Our home COM
oanies are worthy of the warm praise
Jhey receive from The Governor. and
his commentator should convince al
that it is safe to insure in North Caro-
lima companies, thereby keeping most
of our insurance money at home ana
building up our State.
