The verdict OF the jury in the

the source OF much adverse com
ment. Every one OF the Jurors.
40 we learn, was impressed WIN
the guilt OF the defendants, but
they were not clear on the sub
ject and gave the prisoners the
benefit of the doubt. The out
come of this trial is a most pecu
liar and unfortunate one and is
indeed q serious blow to t n Q
cause ofgood government. When
a verdict OF mot guilty OF any
crime" is possible with such con-
elusive evidence it has a tenden'
cy to make good people lose con-
fidence in the law and encoura-

lynching. Is it possible that un-

can resist officers with guns and
pistols, commit homicides, defy
the law and then hope for release
under the law?-Lenoir Topic.

No Baby, No Ballot.

80 Tar the leading adyOC1teS
Of women suffrage have been so
dazed by Father Phelan's propo-
sition as to the right to the fran
chise that they have not discuss
ed it. There are some things a.
bout it they donot like, and they
regard it rather as "Greek's bear
ing gifts than as a real advoca-
cy of woman suffrage. Indeed it
is rather a family suffrage plan,
if it is seriously put forth. 1t
gives one vote to every member
of the family, male and female,
but puts a premium upon those
families where there are the most
babies. Father Phelan t h II 8
makes explanation:
"In some States, woman SUI
frage il based ON the question OF
whether they are property own
ers. A man or woman OF proper
ty is supposed to have more in
terest in the welfare OF the State
than one who has no such stake.
But the giving of u new citizen to
the nation offers q greater pledge
than the richest Landowner. PO-
litical economists could tell us
the value in dollars and cents to
the commonwealth OF q new born
babe. On this principle he would
have three kinds Of suffrage
manhood suffrage, family SUI
frage and property suffrage,
Il wonld give every family an
additional vote for every child
born into it. Ii a couple has ter
children we would give the fami
ly twelve votes. In case the cou
pie agreed politically, We woult
permit the father to- cast all the
twelve votes. II the couple wer
divided in their views OF politics
we would give the wife her owl
b vote, and the votes of all h e
daughters, and the husband hi
own vote and the votes OF all hi
sons
."This would give the woman
suffragists all they now deman
and more, but it would not dis
franchise the children. 1T woul
Z. encourage large families"
Most advocates OF female su
frage are not mothers OF lare

ly one vote while the mother

ther, would have ten times 6

Vacation and H Olldays.

A little editorial paragraph
in the September number OF the
Uplift strikes a responsive chord
in the heart of the Chronicle. 1t
bears on the matter OF school
vacation, and these vacations
seem to take in the larger part OF
the year. Says the Uplift: "lt
does not appear that there is
much lost motion and time in
the school days of the average
boy. Alter all, does an educator
need any more vacation than a
farmer or a banker? Does a
young man. need any more yaca,
,,on from school than q clerk,
a bookkceper or IL mechanic? up
TO a few years ago no one ever
heard OF q preacher taking a. va
cation. Now some OF them are
using two months, one sixth O
the year. This vacation business
is increasing on us at a rate tha
seems unwise." This. is in lin
with the position taken SOM
time ago by The Chronicle and
barked up by Charity and Chill
dren, oyer the multiplicity OF Ie
gal holidays in North Carolina
There is too much vacation am
too much holiday to suit the re
quirements OF the business worlt

COOKS "Trip q joke in ..Our set.v

Mrs. leary IS naturally great
" disappointed because DR.. Cook
discovered the North Pole q year
before her husband She is repor-
ted as having talked nnwisely.
1t is always prudent thing for
q great mans family not to talk.
They are apt to say things best
left unsaid 1t is wise for the pnb-
lie also to take the. publication
of what they do say with grains
of allowances, for same journals
are imposed upon and some fake
statements never>made.
The New York American prints
what purports 10 be an interview
with Mrs. Peary, at South Harps
well, Maine. She is quoted assay
ing:
81 have been expecting to hear
this report ever since | knew DIR.
Cook started for the Pole. 1t has
been a standing joke at the Ex-
plorer's Club and in our set in
New York.
1T is a great surprise to me
that DR.. Cook has been able a.
lone and with but. two Esquimau
boys to accomplish in SO short a
time what so many Others OF
much greater experience and bet
ter equipment have failed in do
ing.
II am sorry DR.. Cook h a 8
wrested the honor OF discovering
} the Pole from my husband, but
l congratulate him.
EDr. Cook has discovered the
Pole he will have to bring bark
some OF Mr.. Peary records to
prove to the world that he has
been further north. 1t is custom
+. airy for all explorers to leave rec
S ords in their own handwriting in
cairns built of stone. The follow
ing explorers must copy t h a t
record, place the copy in the cairn
and bring back the original.
II can't helprecalline the sto
ry OF DR.. Cooks ascent OF Mount
Mckinley, about which he wrote
u his book In that book he says
he asscended the mountain, look
ed at his aneroid and then CANT
down again. When the scientists
wanted to know how high t b
mountain was he said\he was il
such a hurry he couldn't stop t.
If compute the altitude.
II "AJ that time DR.. Cook was a
lone, too. He had gone out witt
the expedition in charge OF Pre-
: fessor Parker, of Harvard, an
was in the party that failed ]
their attempt at scaling the sun
NIT. When Professor Parke
came home he. left. DR.. Cook i
q charge of thesupplies for the mex
attempt.
"Dr. Parker has hardly reach
= ed the East when the news cam
of DR. Cooks ascent OF the mou
: tain.

in but five feet of the Pole an
N did not reach it he would say e!
"a act'y where he had been.
Gas for confirmation ofany r
ports from Fskimos, they coul
not tell it from a harbor pole.
"Ihearl that when Dr. Coo
started for the Pole he said,
use his own expression, he wa
going to sneak it on the grour
floor. When he went up the
RI and bought all the dogs that
- knew Mr.. Peary would need |
:, ter, it showed what kind OF ma
- he was"
u 1t is to be hoped that Mrs. Pc
ry did not make the remarks u
tributed to her, and we look
: see her repudiate some OF thr u
terances. But there are EXPIRE
sions that show somebody HI
1h the caste feeling that nobot
outside OF tour set" can do gre'
