Poor but Honest.

| The other noon down town by street
where a crowd OF men gather along
the sunny walk after their trips to
near BY "quick lunches" there was a
little scene enacted which illustrates
vividly the attitude Of Give and let
live" which is the mark current Of
the ordinary New Yorker
A young, smooth faced, sharp eyed
chap climbed upon an empty box where
the crowd Of idlers from the shops aud
offices was thickest, and began In a
perfectly calm way to harangue those
who would stop to listen to him. He
gathered number TO him with his
/, first few sentences:
my friends, ask you to pause for
a moment and listen TO my narrative.

motto is Excelsior with accent on
the second syllable. MY parents are
dead, and | am lone orphan.
These personal facts are not re.
lated here To arouse your charitable
instincts. / do not ask for charity.
All ! desire Is fair show to make my
way 10 life, and, having walked these
pavements for several days In search
Of work, have come to this desper-
ate pass.

trousers. aEa going TO pass among
you with my hat and ask You to chip.
In nickel apiece; and then my
friends, shall attempt this wonder
full feat. / shall try to turn a quad
ripple somersault In the air.
He jumped down from the box,
gravely passed hts hat around, paying
no attention to the chat addressed
him, and actually collected score Or
more Ut nickels. When he was conf
dent that no more were to be OBJ
tanned, he returned to the box, put 1t
aside, carefully buttoned his coat, spat
on his hands, and turned a pretty fair
somersault. He turned another and
another, and then rem0Hnted the box
and again addressed Che crowd.
"Kind friends, / have tried 10 turn
a quadruple somersault, as said, but
/ cannot do It,. Thanking you one
and all, ! remain yours truly
And not a man IN the crowd uttered
a complaint as he faded swiftly from
their midst. Elk.

The eye is constructed so won

been able to construct as delicate
an instrument. 1t is like camera
the lens to focus, the lid as a
shutter, the iris or color as the dia-
phram, the thick coatings of the
eyeball as the dark room, the nerve
as the sensitive plate; and strange
as it may seem, the images are bot
tom side up, exactly as the image
in a camera. Now, so delicate and
sensitive an instrument as the eye
should have good care. Let us ex-
plain more fully to you how to care

THE LAWS DELAY

The lawyer referred to by The Robe
sonian in the following extract We take
from that paper, knew what he was
talking about when he made his criti-
cism on, the manner often followed by
attorneys in the examination of wit
nesses. 1t does seem sometimes that
it is the object of the examining law
yer to prevent the witness from tell
ing what he knows instead of trying
to get from him all his knowledge
about the matter. The Robesonian
says:
There must be something wrong
with our method of trying cases." re-
marked g. lawyer who had been at
tending Robson superior court the
other day. There's a man who is
suing railroad company for dam
ages. If / take this man aside and sit
down on log with him and give him
chew of tobacco, he'll tell me in fif-
teen minutes all there is to tell about
how he got his leg broken and how
he was injured in that accident, but
in this trial they have had him on the
stand two whole days!' And there you
are. THE laws delay Yes, sir,

THE LAW NO RESPECTER OF
PERSONS

There is q law in Massachusetts,,
passed by the legislature only a year
or 80 ago, which prohibits the So
liciting of positions with public SER
vice corporations by state officials.
1t seems the Massachusetts, peo-
pie are not going to let this law be
a dead letter. The grand jury in
Boston has indicted several officials
for it's violation, among them being
two state senators, two members of
the lower house of the Legislature
and several city aldermen.
That is the way to do it. Let the
people. high and low, rich and poor,
know that when they violate the
criminal law OF their state they will
be prosecuted There is no other
way to make the law be respected
by all classes. If the lower classes
see the law violated with impunity
by those standing over them in the
order of society they lose their re-
spect for the law and for the men
whose duty it is to see that the laws
are enforced and the guilty punish
ed, and the members OF any class OF
The semi-weekly messenger., 1907-10-18

society hold in contempt that law
which they find they can utterly dis
regard. Besides. it is but right and
just that the same law should be
meted out TO all classes. A law prop
erly enforced recognizes no class in
society, and the official whose duty
it is to enforce the law violates his
oath of Office IL he allows class dis
tinctions weigh with him in the per-
formance of the duties of his of

THE TROUBLE AT THE BUNG

, We published a statement from
the Charlotte Chronicle a few days
ago. that the Charlotte Trousers Com
pany. with headquarters in that city
would move to New York. No rea-
son then was assigned. On the sub
ject e. latter issue OF The Chronicle
| contained the following editorial un-
der the heading The Trouble at the
Bung:"
The Chronicle has d ON pretty good
authority that the removal OF the
, Charlotte Trouser Company to New
York Is due In q great measure to dis
elimination against this town IN
product over a large southern terri
! tory, hut ths claim Ss male that IL oan
ship from New York to Atlanta, for
| instance. TO better advantage than 10
can ship from Charlotte o Atlanta and
other southern points. This discrini-
nation may not have been the impen-
ing motive for the move OF the COM
pany from Charlotte, but that il was
| largely contributing factor there In
NO doubt. This incident Is sufficient to
show the seriousness of the situation.
Tie states lawyers are making q
great fuss over the matter OF passen-
ger fares. matter OF no great conse-
quence to the public. while the far
more important mater of freight
rates Is being ignored and the manu-
featuring and commercial interests OF
the state are being permitted to Ian
guish When will this matter be takea
up? That IS one thing the people
like to know.
If The Chronicle is correct in the
reason it gives for its removal it is
surely time that something is being
done to stop such discrimination
against North Carolina cities in the
matter of freight charges. This
freight question should have been
taken up by the corporation commits
sion before that of passenger fares
in which the people are much less
interested.
