Governor Kitchin.
His Inaugural Address a Paper
of Many Excellencies Whose
Temperate Tone Falls
AgreeabIy Upon the Senses
Will Command Attention
and Appreciation of the
People of the State.
Charlotte Observer. 18th.

1t can be safely said. in general
terms, that the inaugural address OF
Governor kitchin will command the
appreciation of the people OF the
State. There are features OF it, we
think, from which there may be proper
dissent but they are few compared
with the many excellencies of the
paper, and its temperate tone falls
agreeably upon the senses. 1t is fine
in construction, which is another way
of saying that it is uncommonly well
written; it is not too long and is
readable from first to last.
All will agree with what is said in
criticism of the present primary sys-
tenn, the expense of seeking nomina-
tions under it and the many evils
growing out OF it, but whether a le-
galized primary is proper substi-
tute for it is open to serious doubt.
Governor kitchin appears to favor a
mandatory primary but we believe
that the alternative plan which he
outlines would more nearly meet the
ideas OF the people.

the new prohibition law, to yield
obedience to it and aid in its enforce

On the subject of education he rings
clear in every sentence, in none better
than in that in which he declares him
self strongly impressed with the i'm
portance that in addition to regular
instruction in hygiene there should
be special instruction upon typhoid
fever and tuberculosis, and especially
upon precautions to limit and avoid
them" Or the other in which be lays

and will make them feel that they
live in really big and growing
State. His contention for a wider
space between elections and meetings
of the Legislature strikes uA the
most sensible thing in his message.
The business of the State is too
often interfered with by the necessity
of giving attention to the politician,
and once every four years is often
enough for the disturbance from
Raleigh. Any dire necessity could
be met by the calling of an extra ses-
sion. Governor Glenn's idea seems
to be to get business divorced from
politics and in that he is pointing
out the safe course to pursue. Ii
politics and politicians could be once
forced into .'the background, the
farmers, manufacturers and the
States army of general business men
would soon demonstrate their capac-
ity as developers of diversified inter
ests and producers of wealth. Less
politics and more business is what
the State needs.
Governor Glenn endorses Superin
tendent Mann's idea of cutting out
the county convict camps, requiring
all convicts to be sent to the peniten-
tiary. May be these gentlemen have
something up their sleeves not seen
by the ordinary man, but we should
like to have them tell us where the
economy comes in. At least third
of the convictions are for petty Of
lenses where the defendant is sent up
for only thirty days. 1t would be a
fine business proposition to send
these prisoners to Raleigh, paying
their way and that of an officer or
two. 1t costs practically nothing to
send such prisoners to the roads in
the county where they are convicted:
Perhaps Superintendent Manu- would
have these short term prisoners con-
fined in jail at the expense OF the tax
payers, as in the old days. But the
most absurd thing is the expectation
that the various counties would hire
the convicts from the penitentiary ut
$1.OO a day. 1t costs the county OF
Guilford about so cents a day to
work, feed and guard them. Adopt
this plan and the penitentiary would
get in debt worse than in fusion days.
There are wheels in Mr.. Mann's head
and Gov. Glenn seems to be almost
in the same fix. It's all bosh, like
wise rOt-tommy rot.

Gov. Glenn's Message.
Message Of Retiring Governor
to Legislature a Strong Doc
ument Breathing the Right
Spirit-Exhaustive Review
of Work of the Various De-
parments of State Govern
ment.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record
With one exception Gov. Glenn's
message read to the Legislature yes
terday is a strong document and
breathes the right spirit The excep-
ton is in falling in with Superinten-
dent Mann s recommendations about
abolishing all county convict camps,
sending all prisoners to the peniten-
tiary to be farmed out to the counties
at $1.OO per head. This might
prove remunerative in the State
could farm them out, but how many
counties would pay this price when
it costs those who have camps just
half that sum to work them?
The message is an exhaustive re-
view of the work of the various de-
partments of the State government,
and is replete with recommendations.
1t is very agreeable to read that in
his Judgment, the prohibition law "is
ample to prohibit the sale and man.
ufacture of strong drink in the Snate,
and, unless there is some defect in
the machinery" he would advise no
further legislation. This means that
if the Governors advice is followed,
there will be no further agitation
along this line and the State will
have a season of peace and rest, OF
which it stands much in need.
Governor Glenn would give the
Governor the veto power, a power
exercised by the Governors of all the
States except North Carolina and
Rhode Island. He would have the
Legislature meet only once in four
wears, and he wants State, county,
city and township officers elected for
four years, instead of two, as at
present. He wants the salaries OF
the Governor and Commissioner OF
Labor increased; he would have a
legalized primary, and solicitors put
on salaries. His tenth recommended
tion will meet with the cordial en-
dorsement of every loyal North
Carolinian. Governor Glenn's re-
view of the educational and indus
trial advancement of the State will
inspire a feeling of qualification on
| part of the people of North Carolina

ter work or one closer to the hearts
of us all is being done by the State.
The State should no the prOfligate but

ter work or one closer to the hearts
of us all is being done by the State.
The State should no the prof1igate but
it should be liberal with these insti-
buttons. With liberality for such
worthy purposes should go the clos
est scrutiny into expenditures, and a
constant determination not to be
careless with taxes willingly paid for
meritorious purposes, and not to be
extravaganza in public generosity"
In this the Governor is entirely right.
Our Legislatures have in the main,
been generous with these institu-
tions and the people, whose charity
has been as ample as their means, are
entitled to have such safeguards pro-
vided and such scrutiny with regard
to expenditures applied to them as
will insure that the public charity is
not abused.
The Governor does we'll to call for
the enforcement of the child-labor
law and to suggest, theoretically, that
present conditions be not otherwise
disturbed. The existing law, proper
as it is, loses much of it's value in the
absence of factory inspection.
Tho Governor is well within reaSon
in his discussion OF corporations and
his discussion of the railroads is just
and conservative. The present pas
senger fares, he says, should be left
alone, but he cries aloud, with ample
reason, against the outrageous and
indefensibIe discriminatory freight
rates.
We do not believe that public opin-
ion is with him on the guarantee of
deposits in State banks. The senti-
ment of the banks, State and national
appears to be adverse to this PROPOSE
ton. This of itself may not consti-
tute a valid objection to it but We
have failed to note any indication of
demand for it in the press or among
the people.
1t would be a pleasure to discuss
the inaugural more in detail but this
is enough. The Observer begs leave
to congratulate Governor Kitchin
upon his utterance yesterday and to
wish for him successful administra-
tion-one which will rebound to his
own credit and to the honor and
glory of North Carolina and increase
, its already atproeperity. APRON
ising assurance Of snch administra-
ton is given in bis inaugural.

ton; was promoted captain of chief
engineers in 1888; was in the Mexican
war as first chief engineer on the staff
of Gen. Scott; won high distinction,
and was regarded at the close of that
war as the one officer best fitted to
succeed Scott as Commander-in-C Chief.
