Our "Anchor to Windward. +"
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
''Ii there was any one thing more
than another that the people OF the
United States had reason to be
thankful for this week" said the New
York Commercial, writing Saturday,
lit was the fact that the trainers OF
the Federal constitution had the wis.,
dom and the foresight to provide for
Federal Courts withpowers aud func-
tons distinct from these of the State
tribunals-powers clearly defined and
| nOn-assaila ble-and that the Judges
presiding over these Federal courts
are appOintjve by the President, not
| elective by tie people,. and cannot
therefore come into existence and au-
thority as the result ofpassiny polit-
ical fads and prejudice" Chief JUS
tice Clark, OF North Carolina" the
Commercial goes on in another para
graph, wants the constitution
amended SO us to make Federal
| judges elective by the people of the
several States. Imagine the power
less, the helpless, position in which
the owners OF the Alabama railroads
would now be, were the Federal Courts
there the creatures OF Alabama poll
tics and Alabama politicians like
Governor Conner. = Then it quotes
from an address OF Hugh Gordon
Miller, of New Yurt, before the stu
dents of New York University law
school last Wednesday night:
The visiting and distinguished South
ern jurist whom have mentioned [refer-
ring to Judge Clark need have no fear
| that this or any other national udminis-
tration will be able to Influence in any
undue degree the Supreme Court of the
| United States in constituting the Federal
constitution. An examination OF all the
great quasi-political cases that have
come before the Supreme Court of the
United States during the entire history OF
the country shows that a majority have
been decided against the political incli-
nations OF previous party affiliations OF
a majority of the justices composing the
court at the time OF such hearings
Upon which the comment of the
New York Commercial is that "ihe
| Federal courts are our 'anchor to
windward.' Bnt for them Il good
many honest and law-biding men
and women would be i'll Jail to-day
under State-cOurt DEGREES"
Time was whom a Federal Judge
breathed life into the uostrils of the
dead writ OF habeas corpus in North
Carolina and released il lot OF our
best people from foul iails when the
power of the State judiciary Was ex-
hausted. But we forget. We should
know, however, and not forget. that
the Supreme Court OF the United
States is our ark of safety, and that
so long aS it Stands upon the basis
on which the fathers established it,
high above the clamOr OF the hour,
needless of the passing passion OF
the people. it will safeguard Their
lives, liberty and property, and
above all, protect them against
themselves. Let Us bow in reverence
before this greatest tribunal OF the
world.

title OF an interesting article on the

ana upon the country at large the inn
portance and value OF connecting up the
chain of interior Waterways which ma

To this end he has from the first per-

the Philadelphia convention OF last

President Winston Brave Enough
to Acknowledge Mistake.
i.ittlntOn News RpDOrter

iittIeton News Reporter
The News and Observer, ofSunday's
date gave expression why we should
be thankful from many distinguished
North CarOlinians. 1t will be rernem-
bered that only few weeks ago Dr.
George L. Winston, president of the
A. and NJ. College, Raleigh, was Il
subject OF pretty severe criticism by
many OF the newspapers of North
Carolina. President Winston saw
his mistake, and was brave enough
to admit it. Being big man, of
large mental calibre, he did not sour
on the press and make an attempt to
throttle it, nor to have any of the ed
ltors before courts, nor put any of
the editors out OF business We
quote his answer to News and o.
server as to why we should be thank
full.
For freedom, free schools, free
speech, free religion and guardian of
them all, Il free press To those we
should seek to add free trade, free
dom to buy and sell at home and
abroad; to enjoy a fair share OF the
wealth that we make.
GEORGE 7. WINSTON,
'President A. and NJ. College.

Under the circumstances weregard
the above as evidence that President
Winston is the right man in the right
place. worthy to have in his care the
training OF part of those who are to
have the rei@ns OF government in
their hands in the near future. This
paper having criticised him for allow
ing the boys to have Il fight, wenow
lift our hat to this man, towering so
high above many of his fellow men,
and bid him God speed.

Tragedies of Life for which Parents
are Responsible.
MarshyiIle Our Home.

Marshville Our Home.
We read almost every day OF the
tragedies OF life and many OF them
are extremely sad, but the saddest
tragedy that comes across the lives
of school teachers, is to see parents
"take up for their child when it has
to be punished in school i'll order to
compel obedience. When boy
starts to school he is entering the
formative period of his LIES charae-
ter and it is the most critical period.
As he grows up if he learns the les,
son of obedience the laws OF school
government he is in therOad that leads
to q respectable and honorable life.
If he rebels against the laws OF the
school room and is not i'll some way
made to obey, he is in the road that
leads to lawleSsness, shame aud dis
grace. And the parent who foolish
~ takes up for IL son who has been
punished in school for rebellion and
disobedience is surely and unmistaka-
bly, training that son towards the
life of a lilw-breaker and IL criminal,
and an act of that kind will do more
TO shape the character ola son for the
| worse than all the evil associates he
has ever come III contact with And
the part that makes this II pltla bic
and sad tragedy is that the parent
who thus takes up for an erlnS boy
acts under the delusion that he is do
Fling the proper thing. Many a man
| who has done that way has livel to
see his bov land in the penitenti Try
or upon the gallowS.
Ii your boy gets punished at school
| it might he we'll to give him another
dose to taper off when he gets home.
If you don't whip him again. but on
the other hand you get in de p troub-
lie because your boy has ben whip

be better to send him II good Or

him and thereby encourage him in
his rebellion and disobedience.
