MORE ABOUT
THE BIG FEAST
RooSeveIt's Purpose in Giving
the Dinner to the Friends
of the Laborers.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Further con-
ferences at the White house today be-
tween the president and the men who
are prominent in labor matters made
the attitude of the administration to-
ward proposed labor legislation a sub
ject of keen discussion in Washington
tonight.
Among those who saw the presiden;
today were Charles P. ;Neill, commits
sioner of labor; United States Attorney
Henry L. Stimson of New York, Ed
ward J. Gavan of New York, attorney
for the labor unions, and Charles Fl.
Sheriff.. an attorney of New York, ali
of whom attended the labor dinner at
the White house Tuesday evening.
RooseVeIt's Object.
1t is learned from the highest au-
thOrity that the object OF the presi-
dent in giving a dinner to friends of la
Dor and in holding the subsequent con-
ferences. was primarily to bring about
a better understanding between repre-
sentatives of the government and labor
leaders and to impress upon the labor
interests OF the country the disposition
of the administration to receive its rep
resentatives in conference on an equal
ity with ali others. The desire Of the
president. il was explained, was to have
the laboring man feel that he has the
right To present his grievances and de-
mands and 10 demonstrate that Meth
er the labor leader nor the million
aire need come to the back door of the
White house at midnight in order 10
have a conference with the president.
While the president believes that this
attitude of the administration had been
demonstrated when the labor leaders
of Butte, Mont, were entertained at
the White house, it is explained that
he desired before he retired from Of
flee TO make this disposition of author
tiles even more evident.
Lesson for the Justices.
The reason members of the supreme
court of the United States and execu-
tive officials were invited TO be pres
ent was merely to enable them to learn
from the leaders direct what they re-
gard as their needs.
ire occasion is said to have afforded
a free exchange Of ideas and to have
been of illuminating value to the
president.
While he may not adopt a labor pro-
gram at the close of his administra-
ton lest he might thereby embarrass
his successors. it is believed he will set
forth his views ON the needs of labor
either in his annual message to con-
erass or in a special labor message, sub
n1itted subsequently,
The various conferences of the past
two DAYS are said TO have brought out
more plainly than ever before the de-
sire of the labor interests to elimina tie

PAYNE CAME TO
THE RESCUE Of
THE WITNESS
Starch Trust Under Fire Before
the House Ways and
Means Committee.
PRODUCT SOLD ABROAD
CHEAPER THAN AT HOME
CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS
ASK HIGH TARIFF ON
ORANGES AND LEMONS.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The so-termed
starch trust was under fire at the
hearing on tariff revision today before
the house committee on ways and
means. The cross-examination of j
B. Walton. representing the Corn Prod
ucts Refining company, which, il was
Grained, monopolized the starch bust
ness, formed the most interesting incl
dent az today's hearing on the tariff
schedule covering agricultural products
and provisions. Citrus fruits also oc-
cupled considerable attention.
Walton admitted that his company
sells corn starch in the United King
dom at a price 10 per cent less than il
is sold in this country. He also admit
ted that there was a loss in selling
corn starch in Great Britain.
A Poser" Asked.
Mr.. Boutell of Illinois wanted to know
why MIR. Hill. member of the COM
mttee from Connecticut who is inter
ested in the manufacture of an arti-
Gle requiring corn starch, could buy
the starch in Great Britain at S225 a
hundred pounds. pay the freight of IC
cents and secure delivery of the ar
tlcle at a saving of 80 cents over the
price demanded in the home market.
Where does the 80 cents go?" he
asked.
The committee can understand WHY
you desire a protective tariff" said Mr.
Gaines of West Virginia to the witness
but we want to know why you should
have it. You are selling your prod
ucts in Great Britain, a free trade
country, cheaper than here, but YOU
want protection here
Ion'f 4I,.a

inquired Mr.. Bonynge of Colorado.
To these and similar questions Mr..
Walton was evidently at a loss to re-
ply.
Answered by Payne.
Representatives Sereno E. Payne,
chairman of the conimittee and a
''stand-patter" supplied the answer.
The sales OF your products have been
falling off in this country for some time
past, said Mr.. Payne, land you are
selling at loss abroad in order TO

WHIPPING POST AND STOCKS.
Stood in the Raleigh Courthouse Land
Until the End of the Rebellion.

Up until the end of the war aud little
while after the whipping post and stocks
stood not far from the northwest corner
of the courthouse and between that
building and the present postoffce, and
there the last whipping took place,
though as it began it was sought to be
stopped by federal officer. The sheriff
was, however, simply carrying out the
mandate of the old court of pleas and
quarter sessions.
In those days the stocks and the whip
ping post too were special attractions,
notably to boys The latter were al
lowed to ridicule people who sat in the
stocks, which held their hands and feet,
but not to throw anything at them.
OF course this deprived the boys of
some degree of pleasure, yet they con
trived to get a good deal of fun out of
the thing anyway. 1t seems odd now
even to think of such scenes as these
must have been. Figure to yourself
passing by the courthouse green at Char
lotte or Raleigh and seeing gentleman
held by the ankles and wrists by wooden
bars, sitting there in the sunshine for all
the world to look at.
Those were the days of the branding
iron too. A set Of gives of iron, in use
for holding the ankles or wrists, are on
exhibition here, but of branding irons
there are none. These We're used here in
January, 1865, for the last time-Ra-
leigh cor. Charlotte Observer.

DESIGNED New Flag.

II may be interesting to know that a
Maine man suggested the new arrange
ment for the stars in the United States
flag which will become effective on July
4. With the admission of Oklahoma Ii
became necessary to place a new star in
the blue field Of the flag. This made nee
essary a Encouragement Of the stars.
Charles a. Tailman, Y. s. ~, retired.
Of Richmond, made sixteen-inch flag In
which he made the arrangement and for
warded it 10 the state department as
suggestion. The state department re-
ferred the matter to the navy depart
ment. for that department has charge of
the flag. A few days later Mr.. Tallman
received a letter from the department
informing him that his arrangement was
the one which the department had had
under consideration. Since then 1t has
been officially announced as the ar

GRAVE EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM.
Washington Ranchmen Will Wed Teach
ers and Break UP the Schools.


How to Keep the public school sup
piled with competent teachers is the
greatest problem before the people of
Douglas county. The greatest part of
the population Is made up of ranehers
who are bachelors, and their winning
ways and prosperous farms prove irre-
Sistible temptations to many of the fair
pedagogues who come into the county.
Within the boundaries of Douglas
county there are ia school districts.
Although the attendance in none is very
large, the teachers get good pay, ranging
from $50 to $40 a month. The member
ship of each school board usually in
cludes one or more bachelors at the
start. but before the end of the term the
benedicts are in the majority, and then
a search for new teachers must be made.
More trouble than ordinarily has been
encountered this year in getting good
educators for the hopefuls of Douglas
county, with the result that there are
openings for forty women. teachers IN
the various districts. Some of them
have offered premiums in the way of
bonuses. but the supply does not seem to
equal the demand.
Annual school elections will be held id
all parts of the county in March From
past experiences, it is expected that d
new lot of teachers will be chosen, only
to deplete the ranks of the eligible bach
elors once more. Because of this con-
dition fathers and mothers dislike to see
the elections come around because of the
dread possibilities in store for continuing
the sessions. School boards in Douglas
county have come to be regarded as
matrimonial bureaus-for the benefit of
their bachelor membership Walla
