nEyER1DGE.s CHILD LABOR BILL

Senator Beveridge GENES to the front
early in the session OF congress Win
bis anti-child labor bill. This measure
is direct blow at the cotton mills oil
the south. Whether so intended or not.
its massage would work them great IN
iurv. It's object is to, in an lndirect
vav give the federal government
control of the question of child labor
n factories-a matter clearly belonging
tn the police powers Of the several
states. 1t prohibits the shipping from
tho eta+e in which a mill is situated
into another state of the products OF
tha. mill if children under fourteen
wears of age are employed IN tnat
mill.
In a number of the states OF the
scuth il Is not unlawful to employ
children under that age In the fac1o-
ries. In several states which have
statutes regulating child labor the age
limit is below fourteen years. Should
Senator Beveridge's bill become a law
and it's constitutionality be sustained
by the courts, mills employing children
Under that age in states which have no
statute on the subject and in those
having such statute with the age limit
below fourteen years would not be al
lowed to sell their goods to customers
outside of their respective states
Their trade would be confined within
boundaries of their home states, Ine
consequences of such law would be
to take the regulation of the subject
of child labor in mills-an entirely To-
cal matter-out of the control OF the
states and to put it in the hands OF
the national government. Every mill
in the south would either have tc
close down or comply with the act o1
| congress, even if heretofore complying
strictly with the laws of its state IN :
| matter purely of police regulation.

BRYAN AND THE NOMINATION

Some democratic newspapers have
awakened to the fact that Mr.. Bryan
is going to be the democratic nominee
for president. They seem to have found
this out only since he declared his
willingness to accept the nomination.
They do not seem to be aware of the
fact that the willingness has been
there since the closing of the polls in
Nov. 1904, or, perhaps it would be more
accurate to say since the setting
Of the sun on the Tuesday after the
First Monday in November 1900. That
Mr.. Bryan will be the nominee no one
can doubt, and there is equally as
small doubt about the fact that he
has been scheming for the nomination
for the last four years. We cannot
understand why some people should
only now realize the fact that with the
ontrolling element he is considered the
logical candidate" or the "only avail
able man. for the place. 1t looks like
the southern democracy has been hyp-
noticed by the name of Bryan. There
are several men in the party, at least
two of them in the south, who won
| poll larger popular and electoral Ste
| than will Mr.. Bryan; but Tor bme
| unaccountable reason the southeIu de-
mocracy feels bound to make hiiE the
party's nominee.

ENGLISH SOCIETY NEWS

A friend, who is native of the "old
country hands us d copy of Lon
con paper of recent issue. The items
under the heading Social and Per-
scnal' are of a kind not seen in any
American paper. Of the nine personals
there is only one in reference TO per-
son of less importance than countess
and that is about a member of par
lament, who, it is stated, is confined
TO his bed by an attack of gout The
paper's readers are told that King Ed
ward. after seeing The Swasi chiefs on
the day before left st. Pancras on
short shooting trip; that the prince
and princess of Wales have left York
cottage for castle Abby; that the prin-
cess royal has arrived in London from
Sandringham, where she has been on a
visit to the queen; that the king and
queen of Spain were at the Prince Of
| Wales theatre the night before; that
the queen of Spain on the day before
visited the Messrs. LibertysS store.
where she remained half an hour and
| made several purchases. (The reporter
| was so derelict in his duty as not to
state what those purchases were).
Surely the inability Of society editors
on some American papers to pub
lish such personals fills them with
! modification. The time may come,
however, under the reign of Theodore I
when they can publish similar import
| ant items as to the doings of kings.

AWAKENED BY HYPNOTIsM.
Girl in a Trance Regains Her Mental
Powers i'm Strange Way.

Hypnotism was the means of re-
storing to complete control of her
mental faculties yesterday Miss Sa-
die Garetsky, of West Grove, near
Asbury Park. n. j., whose cataleptic
sleep of nine days had baffied the
skill of half a dozen physicians.
Miss Garetsky's case was peculiar.
She is nineteen years old. Her pa
rents are poor and she worked in
shirtwaist factory near her home
On November 21, while at work
she had violent quarrel with an
other young woman. At the end OF
the war of words she rushed home
and flung herself on a sofa. She
seemed hysterical and was able to
say no more than hat cruel words
had been spoken to her and that she
desired only one thing in life-tc
forget them
Almost Immediately she fell into
heavy sleep, from which she die
not awake until last Thursday

Some weeks ago the Barlow Cour-
ier-Informant announced that MT 4
l.. Walter Weed, representing a
company formed in Washington, ID
c., for the purpose OF culttvatinG e
camphor trees on a large scale iu
this state, with the ultimate design
of producing gum camphor In mar
ketable quantities, was prospecting
in this vicinity with the view OF To-
eating such a farm near Barlow.
Mr.. Weed returned to Barlow last
week and is now actively engaged In
carving on the work of establish
ing the camphor farm. He has Sc
cured a section, 640 acres, OF land,
known as the Hancock place, near
Lake Garfield, thirty acres OF which
is being cleared and fenced and put
in condition for settingS the trees,
which will be done WITHOUT delay.
This part of the work is in - rye
of ]. B. Pylant, which is a ran
tee that the work will be thoroughly
and intelligently done, and that thtre
will be no failures on this score.
Owing to the fact that much OF
| the seed planted last winter failed
to germinate, Mr.. Weed has only sue
! ceeded in securing about 5000
plants, but he is securing the coun-
| try round about for more and VIII
probably be able to add largely Ia
this number before the present sea
sons planting is finished.
1t is understood that the agricul-
tural department at Washington Is
| interested in this experiment OF Mr.
Weed and will give II every en-.
| couragement in it's power. That II
! will prove a great success no on
who has observed the luXurian'
| growth of the camphor tree in this
section will doubt for moment W.
! hope some day to see camphor farms
as numerous and as proftabl" ln
| this section as orange groves are

They have a different way of do
ing things in Europe from what we
have here when it comes to the pros
ecution of women for murder. This
is shown in the case of the woman
Goold, indicted with her husband
for the murder of Mrs. Emma Lewis
at Monte Carlo for the purpose OF
securing her jewels. The woman
has been convicted Of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to death
by the guillotine, while the husband,
who actually committed the crime,
has gotten off with a sentence OF
Imprisonment for life, the mitigating
circumstances in his case being that
he was drunk at the time of com
hitting the crime.

moments and again passed into o.

On Saturday she became semi

intervals OF heavy sleep unu,syes-

ested when he learned that besides

brought on by her overwhelming de-
sire to forget the harsh words. He
concluded that she was self hypno-

motto suggestion could restore her

rermission 10 treat her by the meth
ods OF modern hypnotism. A re-
Dorter was in the sick room while

Miss Garetsky lay staring vacanuy
| at the ceiling when the hypnotist en-
tered. She made no replies TO his
| first questions The pupils OF her
eyes were greatly dilated and the
eyeballs were drawn back so that the
iris OF each was partly covered by
| the eyelids. The patient seemed TO
have no control over theul/A
DR.. Gayer began by pts Z his
hands lightly on her brow. n kept
them there fully FIVE minutes With
out speaking or attempting 20 make
her speak Then suddenly with
drawing his finger tips fror1-ker
| forehead, he took her hands h hs
and said:
DO not try TO forget any more.
II is better TO awaken. and TO for
give and be forgiven.
The Young woman's drawn eye
lids futtered and her eyeballs NOV
ed until her eyes were level with the
hyptonist's But she said nothing
and Or. Gayer waited several min
utes before he said:
Come. awake, Your mother. who
is very dear TO you, desires IL. Your
friend with whom you quarreled
wishes your forgiveness also.
Light seemed TO dawn slowly in
the sick girls eyes. Then smile
began to play about her lips and she
spoke.
II am better than ] have been.
Tell me that you want 10 live
and that you have put away your
hate" he said gently as the girl
seemed to hesitate.
Say It," he said again.
In perfectly normal voice the
pale young woman replied:
"Yes, want TO live. hate no
one | forgive"
After a few more words DR.. Gayer
left her. Miss Garetsky seemed 10
be perfectly normal as she hade DIR.

for coming.

HrcHER THAN THE LAW

Long should be overruled in the SOUTH
.arn railway indictment. OIL coul DC
that paper thinks its opinion Oh 'ne
law is better than that OF those lou'
leading lawyers of the state' or ra'h-
or il seems to think that they shouio
aoo,ore tho law to be what it wants
them to say it is.
VIC think our people are to be con-
GRADUATED that the court or last re-
sort in this state does not consist o.
the editor of The News and observer
.nd the man who occupies the position
80 obiaf iustice They should rejoice
+o know that there are four men OH lhe
hencb who are as "up in the law as
are those two in literary attalnmehIs
and that they are men VINO, 10 Ihe
best of their legal ability, search out
the law and declare, IN their unp "E
oninion what that law is in cases
which come before them for their M
al decision, and that they do not let
personal animosities or extreme pollI-
ical ideas interfere with their inter-
pretation of the law.
The News and Observer also de-
clares that "the people" are unable to
accent the constitution of the law IN
this case as set forth by those four
associate justices. Will that paper
show it's authority for it's claim to
speak for the people when 1t says
they will not accept the courts con-
struction of the law in that
case? Are the people prepared to say
end have they authorized The News
and Observer to say for them that they
Dut more confidence in its opinion
than in that of the four associate
justices as to what is the law in
case involving such study and investi-
cation that it took them two months
to come to conclusion on the ques-
ticns involved in the case?
When these cases were first started
The News and Observer was the loud
est howler for their trial in the state
courts; there was the place, it con-
tended, for the railroads to get proper
Justice The first of these cases to be
finally determined was the one in a
state court, and because that court
decided in favor Of the railroad that
paper kicks against the decision, crit
icises it and attempts to ridicule it
ali because the four associate justices
would not yield to the anti-railroad
ideas of itself and Chief Justice Clark
That is the quality of law and the
class Of judges that paper would like
to see in this state.

It is up to the balance OF the
states of the union to follow the ex-
annie of New Jersey in the effort
to give the whole country uniform
marriage and divorce laws
This question of marriage and d.
yorce is one that all the Christian
churches and all the moralists ad-
NIT needs greater attention from
both the churches and the legisla-
lures of the country. Our readers
remember that some time ago the
governors of forty states sent dele
gates to a convention proposed by
the governor of Pennsylvania for
the purpose of securing the enact
ment of uniform divorce laws by the
states, and that that assembly
through a committee made report
suggesting such law. New Jersey,
we believe, is the only state which
has adopted that law, and 1T is TO
60 into effect on the first day OF
next month
The terms of that law We cannot
now give. Some of them may be
Objectionable to the people of our
state; but it is on the principle or
a uniform law of marriage and dl-
yorce we wish to speak. All such
matters in final settlement must be
by compromise. Each party to the
proposed agreement must give up
| something; else no such general
agreement could ever be brought
about. That the country needs uni
formity in it's laws of marriage and
divorce no one can deny; and it is
as clearly undeniable that in most
of the states the marriage tie is too
lightly considered by the legislatures
and the courts-divOrces are too cas-
| lily obtained, marriage considered too
much a matter of temporary sentl-
ment and personal convenience.
| These conditions make it too easy
| to secure divorce by stepping across
a state line Marriage binding IN
| one state will be declared void by
a court in an adjoining state at the
| solicitation of one Of the parties who
will step across the line and bring
suit. And it is a remarkable fact,
| in this connection, that the one state
| in the union which permits no dl-
vorces has the loosest marriage laws
| of all the states.
We will here say nothing about
security of inheritance and the es-
| tablishment beyond all doubt of the
legitimacy of offspring to be secured
The question from a moral view
point is of Importance enough to
| cause a general advocacy of a uni
form marriage and divorce law by
all the states in the union, unless
there are some features in the pro
posed law antagopistic to the inborr
feelings of the people and tc
state constitutional provisions con
sidered necessary to the preservation
of the integrity of the different race:
making up the citizenship of certain
| states.
