A Wise Decision.
Catawb ba News.

The House Committee on Judiciary
of Congress have submitted state
ment which says:
Congress has no Jurisdiction or
authority over the subject OF woman
and child labor, and has no author
ity to suppress any abuses OF such
labor or ameliorate the conditions
surrounding the employment OF such
laborers.
This committee holds that the reg
ulation of woman and child labor is
within the police power of the respec-
tive States. We are sure North Caro-
lima can and will look after her own
women and children in this respect.

Statewide Landmark.


Somebody has introduced in the
Legislature a bill to prohibit the use
of profane and indecent language on
passenger trains. 1t ought to pass.
On every passenger train there should
be at least two men-tle conductor
and one other-clothed with police
powers, and they should be conf
PEELED to exercise it. If the hoodlum
who goes on a train to drink liquor
and carouse and shock the ears of
decent people with his profanity and
vuIgarity, knew that he would he
promptly arrested and punished,
Just MS he would for the same offence
on the streets Of any we'll regulated
town, he would ut least not indulge
in that kind of thing SO often. PeO-
pie who travel know there is more or
less of the tough element on about
every other passenger train; and this
element, believing that it is safe from
arrest and punishment for such Of
fences on trains, not infrequently
runs riot. BY common consent the
second class cars are often given
over TO the toughs. just why any
body familiar with such conditions
would abolish the second class
car, as is seriously proposed by some
members of the Legislature, is a
mystery. keep the toughs off the
train.' they say. 1t is easy to say
that. But who is to do it and by
what authority; and the average
tough who drinks liquor aud makes
himself nuisance on the train is as
quiet as Il lamb before he gets on. He
is afraid il he's boisterous beforehand
he will not be allowed toget on. Even
now, with the first and second class
cars, people who want comfort, quiet
and the association ofpeople who con-
duct themselves properly when they
travel, not infrequently have to 60
into Pullman car, when one is at
tached to train, and pay extra for
the comfort The legislators who
want to make one fare could not be
doing more to help the Pullman car
trust if they were paid to do it.

the Indictment weather. In the class

dog, Cheyenne, again reached the
final. She was to have met the fleet
Princess LiglFtfoot in the deciding
course. but darkness set in and the
race was postponed Cheyenne has
been in the finals the last three times
she has started, and Sharman has a
great money getter in this young
greyhound.
There were many fiuky trials during
the day, but as whole the sport was
good. The unfinished stake was di
vided between the fast black dog,
PRESTO, and Miss Emily Two rounds
of the open event were run and the
remainder Of the card will be finished
next Sunday.
Favorites won with consistency. The
rundown of the open event supplied

The final match for the Hammond Cup

Contrary to expectations. the match.
as far as 1T went, was all in favor of
Gustav Lisser. the f1fth-class champion.

RAIN iNTERFERES
WITH PLANS OF
POLOISTS

The Indictment weather Of the mast
two weeks has completely upset the
plans of the poloists of the Burlinpame
Country Club, as the members have
been unable to use the two fields in San
Mateo County. Both players and Monies
will be out of practice when plav
opens again, but they will soon round
into form after a few days of activity
on the field.
High hopes are being built on the
coming tournament-that in February
on the c. w. Clark field and the cham
pionship affair on the grounds of the
Coronado Country Club in Southern Cal
ifornia.
The players have had to face one
great disappointment in the decision of
Frank ]. Mackey not to bring a crack
team of English poloists to this coast
this season. The Burlingame men
could not conscientiously say that con-
ditions were favorable here for a bril-
liant season and the trip of the English
horsemen was postponed.
1t is far cry from London to this
city and the English players do not
want to make the pilgrimage unless
assured of unlimited opportunities for
play. Owing to the unsettled condi-
lions resulting from the April disaster
this could not be guaranteed.
When the visitors come next season
they can play on different field nearly
every day in the week. Ell Cerrito field.
pronounced one of the finest in the
world, will be ready at an early day.
The new field of the Burlingame Club
will be built as rapidly as possible.
Work will be commenced upon 1t as
soon as the weather moderates. 1t will
be located northeast of the clubhouse.
The old trapshooting grounds will be
moved to make room for 1t and the
course of the golf links will have to be
slightly altered to provide the needed
space for the new field. The latter
will be built on the most modern lines
and will be provided with an artistic
pavilion. from which the games may be
club field, which is in a sense a public
one, has been noticed particularly by
the foreign players who felt a delicacy
in coming over to play on nothing but
private fields.
the infield at the Golden Gate Park
stadium will have been completed and
be available for exhibition games. This
would be a great treat to the people
here, who seldom see the game al
though it f1ourishes so near at hand
There would be no difficulty in bring
ing the ponies to the scene, as they
could be landed at 1ngleside from the
electric horse cars and led thence to
the stadium.
