s0uJHERN's WAGE SCALE
MEN GET NINE HOUR DAY UNDER
RECENTLY SIGNED.
AGREEMENT.

Spencer, N. c., Feb. 19.-Announce-
ment was made here today that an
agreement has been reached betWeen
the officials of the Southern Railway
Company at Washington and five diff
ferent crafts concerning a wage scale
throughout the entire Southern syS-
tenn. Under the new arrangement,
which has been under consideration
at Washington for several weeks, the
employees Of the company are to have
a nine-hour day instead of q ten-hOur
day at the same scale heretofore in
effect.
The employees stood for a nine-hour
schedule while the Southern officials
wanted a ten hour rule. The en-
pIoyes feel that they have been treated
very generously by the management
in that all they lave asked for has
been granted. The machiniSts are to
receive thirty-two cents per hour. The
other crafts effected by the new scale
includes the b~Oiler-makers, black
smiths, carmen and pipemen. Gen
eral satisfaction is expressed that the
matter has been amicably settled for
another year over the whole sysytem.

Circuit Judges remain in office until the expiration of their terms
There are seven of such judges, with an aggregate annual salary OF
So, 500. They also overlook entirely the salaries of the four new
judges of the Pardons Court, which will not be less than S2o,oo0
annually. Thus the saving to the State disappears and increased
expenses come to. light. But the real increase lies elsewhere. AT
present there are employed in the Court of Chancery a Chancellor
and seven Vice Chancelors. Under the new system seven justices are
allowed for chancery purposes. Is there to be a failing Oh IN
litigation, or is it believed that the new scheme will simplify pro
ceedings to such an extent that a less number of judges Vail pe
required in the equity branch? With the present number it $ CLAIMED

Court. They will have one less judge, and we are asked to beleVe
there will be no need. of further judges. The experience OF me
past proves the contrary, and the assertion is. made that IL II
amendment be adopted it will not be long before other Justices are

further proof of the foregoing objection. There are now nine JUS

but claim their duties elsewhere prevent this. The new system pro,
vides for seven Justices only. They will be relieved OF all appear
work. But will this so lessen their labors as=to give ltigants the
benefit of their services at circuit? Again experience says no.
What, then, is to be done? Simply invoke the provisions OF the pro-
posed amendment, which provides thatTHE NUMBERo OF JoDufo
MAY BE INCREASED BY LAW, AND FOR EVERY JUDGE 81
ADDED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR SHALL BE PAID.
The amendment further provides that when the number OF causes
before the appeals division shall be SO great that the division cannot
promptly hear and determine them, THE GOVERNOR sHAblt
WHEN AUTHORIZED BY STATUTE, TEMPORARILY ASSIGN
FOUR OF THE JUSTICES OF THE OTHER DIVISIONS III SIT

power in the hands of some Governors elsewhere condemned the
ASSIGNMENT of such justices will further diminish the number OF
justices required to attend to the vast volume of business falling TO
the law division. Will such diminished number be sufficient? NO
one seriously believes SO. This objection may be summarized as
follows: Twentyone judges will not be sufficient, More Will pc
needed, and their appointment will mean increased State expenses
and further inroads upon moneys that extravaganza and mismanage-
ment have kept from our public schools. Will the people submit to
this further imposition?

A REHABILITATED
DEMOCRACY

national Democracy is to be rehabilitated on its traditional lines.
The movement is to be entirely independent of party faction and
free from the rancors of State politics. The declaration of prin-
ciples set forth shows the scope of the league. Protection of the
constitutional power of the State against Federal encroachment
tariff reform, equal and uniform taxation, home rule and local
selfgovernment, economy in the public expenditures, election of
United States senator's by popular vote, electoral reform, taxation
Of State corporations by the State alone, etc. These are propo-
sitions IN which all Democrats can agree and that appeal to no
factional spirit. Last spring the STAR in several editorial
articles suggested to the Democrats of the country that, if the
party expected to have any show in the next presidential election,
it was necessary for the leading representatives of the party to
get together and adopt a plan of reorganization. The STAR fur
tber suggested that the movement begin in the South. 1t has
now been begun at Saratoga, N. Y, and at Montclair, in New Jer
sy, and it's echoes will be heard in every State. A great Demo
cratic revival is not only possible, but probable, in view of the
outlook in national politics.

THE AMI
THE AMENDMENTS

bers is cited to show that all who so voted, together with their
political organizations, should consistently support them. This
logic is in keeping with much that has been argued on behalf of
the amendments. Various amendments to the amendments were
offered in the Legislature last winter, and were voted down.
When the amendments were on final passage the question was
whether the people should be permitted to say at the polls
whether they wanted the amendments. Legislators who had
tried to change them o add to them and failed took the correct
view that they had no moral right to oppose the amendments
going to the people, and they voted accordingly. The legislative
duty in the matter was not like that of passing a new statute,
but only to open the constitutional way for the people to vote on
propositions to change the organic law. And it is a fact that
the majority of the members of the Legislature are today opposed
to the amendments.

MARKED BALLOTS FOR
THE

state, as a means of procuring the adoption of the amendments.
This is in keeping with the trick of punching the amendments
together, to compel the voter to vote for propositions he is op-
posed to. AS all that is required of the voter at the polls is to
cross off one of two words on each amendment, the device of
sending out marked ballots cannot be defended on the ground
that it is intended to educate the people and is part of the Nedu-
cational campaign" Voter who receive marked ballots will re-
sent the impertinent reflection on their intelligence.

THE SUPERVISOR OF
THE CENSUS

the last census year, and his appointment, therefore, is in accord
M with civil service regulations, although in this ease the selec-
ton is partisan. Mr.. Smith has not been active in politics for
some years, however. The Essex district, with it's great manu-
featuring and other interests, is the most important one in the
State, and it is we'll that the work of the census should be COM
mitted to a supervisor thoroughly well qualified by intelligence
and experience.

A Blue -Blooded Youngster.

1t is not every town the size of
Cresco that can boast of such we'll
bred colt as is owned by Enoch Strother.
1t was foaled June 9th, and is hand
some, dark bay horse colt as active and
frolicsome as one could wish and
admired by constant stream of men
who love and admire good horseflesh.
The sire of the colt is Arion, owned
by w. M. Savage, of Minneapolis, who
charges service fee of $125 for this
great stallion. Arion has two-year-
old record to highwheel sulky of
2:lOa and has a record of 2:O7a as a
four-year-old. He was sold by Govern
or Stanford to Mr.. Forbes of Boston,
for $125,0OO, the highest price ever
paid for a harness horse, and later
passed to the ownership of Mr.. Savage.
Arion was sired by the great Elec-
tioneer, sire of 166 in the 2:3O list, and
traces to such aristocratic sires as
Hambletonian 10, Nutwood, a sire of
III in the 2:30 list, Abdallah, Henry
Clay, Belmont and others.
The dam of the colt is Dot Sprague,
standard bred mare purchased about
four years ago by Mr.. Strother from
Judge Mcneil of Illinois. She has
never been driven for speed but used
simply as driving horse but is one of
the famous Sprague family. Her sire
was Count Princeps and she was out of
Flossie Sprague. Through her sire she
traces to Woodford Mambrino, of Dan
Patch relationship, and to George
Wilkes, and through her dam to Gov.
Sprague, Golddust, Mambrino Chief,
Abdallah and Hambletonian 10.
