TAKE ACTION

The Y. NJ. c. A. question is being
discussed by the people OF this city
and in all probability it will be de-
termined to establish one here. 1t
can only be done by hard work and
by personal sacrifice, but surely there
are enough men in Fredericksburg
who see the wisdom OF such move
ment to give it impetus by taking
the matter up and beginning work.
We can't make this fight alone, but
we are willing and ready to render
aid in every possible way. What
more worthy cause can men enlist in
than such a one as furnishes an adj
ditional moral and religious prop to
the community in which they live?
The ministers OF Fredericksburg can
do much to aid the project by calling
attention to it in their respective
churches, and this we trust they will
do. Once let the movement be start
ed by the organization OF a \. NJ. C.
Association and the raising OF the
necessary funds for building can
be accomplished. We believe there
are enough people in our midst inn
pressed with the value OF such an in
stitution to start this movement.
They should take up the work, the
consummation OF which will reflect
40 much credit on themselves and on
the city. Don't delay, but start
now and before the year is ended we
will see substantial association

THE LATE CONGRESSMAN
RIXEY

The death of John f. Rixey will
bring sincere sorrow to many hearts
in the Eighth Congressional district,
whose people he served in the Con-
gress OF the United States with
marked ability, fidelity and earnest
ness. Rixey was essentiallya man OF
the people. DisdaiDing show he was
Democratic in the extreme and made
friends where another man would
have passed unnoticed. He was a
congressman who believed that his
duty in Washington lay in the path
of serving his people, and hesoon be-
came known as a tireless. energetic
aud successful worker for his cOnstit-
uents. Hecould in allprobability have
been reelected as often as he chose
had not death stricken him in the
midday OF his life. lie was devoted
to the interests OF his State and
he loved Virginia withall the loyalty
of a whole soul. He will be missed
in Congress where be won the respect
and love ofall by the cleanness OF his
life and the honesty OF his character.
The Eighth district has lost an able
public servant, but worse still, its
people have lost an earnest friend.
John F. Rixey was man OF whom
Virginia will always be proud. He
was in every sense OF the word-the
true man.

CHILD LABOR AND STATELINES
Here is a sample OF the contents OF
the reports OF the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the lower house of Congress on
the Beveridge anti-child labor bill,
and although it emanates from a
committee composed of a majority
of Northern men and Republicans. it
sounds pretty good to Southern men
and Democrats. and is as about
as strong a procurement on the
question of States rights as its
most ardent advocates could wish to
see:
"The agitation OF such legislation pro-
duces an uneasy feeling among the peo-
pie and cOniuses the average mind as to
the power OF congress and the power OF
the States. The lives, health and prop
erty OF the women and children engaged
in labor is exclusively within the power
of the States, originally and always be-
longing 70 the States, not surrendered
by them TO congress. Such is the en-
phatic language OF the supreme court
II O question OF good order and morals,
it is the same. The argument has long
since been made by Others, and the COM
mittee cannot add to il. The assertion
of such power by congress would de-
stroy every vestige OF State authority,
obliterate State lines. nullily the great
work of the trainers of the constitution
and leave the State governments mere
matters OF form. devoid of power, and
ought to more than satisfy the fondest
dreams OF those fayOring Capitalization
OF power
1.-The national government is too weak
to undertake the exercise OF the Dolce
power OF the States. In shOrtt time this
great nation would be wGrse than aship
in mid-ocean, in a g.eat storm. without
rudder or Compass The division OF
power VS. wise and beneficial Time,
sGJ and experience approves IL, ana we
should not attempt in an uncOnsutu-
tional way the destruction OF the sub
structure OF our government. liz then,
these two great powers OF police anG
commerce are separate and independent,
the power of the States sovereign, where
is the authority for saying that congress
can invade and impair that power entire
aud independent in the States? The
right aud power of both the States and
nation must be respected and upheld.
After the above report was made
by the Judiciary Committee. Senator
Beveridge INDUCED in a TRADE OF
abuse and criticism of the commit
tees action, but nevertheless it puts
an end TO the proposition to inter
fere by national legislation with the
rights OF the States to determine
who shall labor within their borders
for the time being at least. The
question of child laborin some OF the
States may be ever so bad, but 1t
could never be half as bad as an at
tempt by Congress to obliterate
State lines and undertake the regu-
lation of labor problems within the
States.

MAURfIAAlAINDs BRIDAL TRIP
BIGGEST SHIP AFL DAT REACHES
NEW YORK AFTER FIGHT
With STORMS.

New York, Nov. 24-Poking he.
nose through a dense curtain Of fog
that hid the coast, her topmasts lost
from deckview in the enveloping
shroud, the biggest, the most luxuri-
Gus ship ever launched on any sea,
finished in safety her bridal voyage
when at 1903 o'clock a. m. yesterday
the Cunard line steamship mauritania
came to anchor off the Sandy Hook
lightship, five days, five hours and ten
minutes from Queenstown.
Bearing a fortune Of $12,500,000 in
gold for the money marts Of the West,
she fought her way through 5000 miles
of storm-swept ocean, battling every
mile of the course to meet and defeat
the worlds transatlantic speed record
of four days, eighteen hours and forty
minutes, erected and held by her Sis
ter ship, the Lusitania.
Breaks One Record.
Head winds and tumultuous cross
seas baff1ed the attempt, yet the Maui
retania won the coveted right to fly
one blue ribbon" at her peak. On
Thursday, Nov. 81, Capt. Pritchard
drove the ship 624 knots (671 miles)
by the favor of shift in the wind
to north-northeast-s knots better
than the best days run sof the Lnsi-
tania and breaking all records.
The Mauretania left Queenstown
Nov IL at II a. M and arrived at
quarantine, New York, at 3.54 p. m.
Nov. 49, The average speed for the,
passage was 22.21 knots, or 1888
miles an hour. Her average speed on
her record day run of 624 knots was.
!, 25 .83 miles an hour.
Though the new liner demonstrated
her ability to develop a higher speed
by day under favorable conditions,
than the Lusitania has thus far
proved herself capable of, an uncom-
monty stormy passage and fog en-
forced caution off the coast, combined
to increase her record time ten hours
and thirty minutes beyond that estab-
j.lished by her sister ship. Capt. Pritch-
ard Believes that in fair weather
passage he can beat the Lusitania
from coast to coast.
