1T WAS 4 FINE EXAMPLE.

When employer and employee work
together In harmony, and there is
fellow feeling OF human interest in
each breast, with esteem for each
other which can not be broken by the
usual cares and worries Of the every
day yexations of life. il is a beautiful
scene to behold and is an inspiration
to business men as well as the daily
toiler. 1t puts brightness into the
prosaic duties OF our daily rounds Of
labor. be Il what it may.
This friendly relationship is beauti-
fully exampled in the account We
read a day or SO ago in the Dayton
(0hio) Journal, where the Hundred
Point club Of the National Cash Regis
ter company presented the president
of ,he company. Mr.. John H. Patter-
son. with a magnificent and massive
gold cup. the first one ever made in
the United States. Il was beautifully
done. and so tellingly showed the I'M
dying gratitude OF the donors. What
impressed US most about II was what
they put in part of the inscription.
IL was, We know We are better men
for having met him. He Is orr
teacher. He Is our true friend
In receiving It Ar. Patterson said.
among a great many other good
things: You are a part Of this great
company with all It's capital. all IS
machinery and all the people here.
Back Of you We stand ready to help
you. And We want you 70 feel that
the company Is YOU" This was
manly and breathes fine spirit Of
fellowship. We mention Il here be-
cause It has such fine business favor
about II.

LEFT IN COME QuICKLY.

With a scant three weeks of the
congressional session remaining, moi
one OF the important measures be-
fore congress when the session be-
gan has been disposed of. Reel
procity with Canada marked new
line of cleavage among the republic
can and democrats In Washington.
Early last week senator's were hope
full that they might solve the prob
lem by letting the reciprocity agree
ment severely alone, but latter II
was brought sharply to their atten-
ton that unless there shall be a vote
on this reciprocity agreement they
will be called back to Washington
promptly after the 4th of March and
compelled to remain until there is an
expression in the senate either for
or against 1t. With the president
away from Washington making
speeches mainly devoted TO this reci-
procity with Canada question. there
is strong impression that the coun-
try. except in isolated spots, is in
favor of the agreement recently
made between us aud our northern
neighbor.
The fact that the English papers
and the leader of the opposition in
the English Parliament are opposed
TO the RECIPROCITY agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States
will doubtless have some influence in
favor OF its approval by congress in
this country II will be many years,
perhaps centuries, before the United
States and british America become
one country. but the dividing line
must some time fade just as the
Mason and Dixon line has faded.
There are a hundred reasons for the
social and political
solidarity of North America. There
is not one valid reason in opposition. !
There is no possibility OF the absorb
ton Of Canada by the United States
or the absorption of the United |
States by Canada. Absorption is not
to be thought OF, but commerce be-
tween the two countries ought to be
as free and unrestricted as between
North Carolina and Virginia.

pRRIIs OF THE CITY.

Il The condensation of population and
the increasing number of vehicles on
the streets are making The thorough
fares Of our cities almost as danger
Gus as the zone of fire in battle.
In New York the number of per-
sons killed by vehicles on the streets
in 1910 was 21S. almost double the
number killed in 1900. OF these 30
were children under fourteen years Of
age. as compared with thirty-one of
like age sacrificed to traffic in 1900.
The figures seem to show that after
a certain point of density of traffic
the danger of the streets increases far
out of proportion to the increase in
population of the city. Although the
automobile is the chief offender, the
number of deaths due to horse-driven
vehicles has likewise doubled. When
there are added TO these constant
perils incidental calamities such as
perils of skyscraper construction.
falling signs and the like. it will be
seen that the situation is one that will
in a few years have to he dealt with
by something other than lille specula-
ton.
AS buildings are made higher the
density of temporary population. es-
pecially in business and financial dis
,ricts, is wonderfully increased. The
crush has as the one means of travel
only a narrow street, which must ac-
commodate also the constantly aug
mented streams of traffic. Whether |
the solution will be elevated walk
ways. with road rules for pedestrians
as we'll as vehicles, is OF course a
present conjecture: but that the city
Of the future must make some pro-
vision for the safety of the people who
make II great is as evident as that,
otherwise, It must speedily reach the
limit OF its development.

THE TORRENs.L LAND SYSTEM.

With the present lights before us Il
seems right and proper that the
"Torrens Land Registration Act
should be passed. and North Carolina
be given a chance to get out OF old
ruts and fogy And cumbersome meth
DDS in land registration, and adopt
progressive ways which will simplify
matters In this matter. The present
system, of title transfer is the slat-
ternly handmaiden of usury. 1t clogs
the channels of industry and depresses
the value Of real estate, and its bur
dens are heaviest on the small prop
erty owner. The time is coming when
"a change will be made. The people
will rise, up as one man and demand
1t. Why not make a change now?
The bill now in the legislature
which is said 10 be blocked by some
Of the lawyers---has been carefully
prepared by an able lawyer, after a
careful study OF the subject-matter
and conference with men possessing
the best legal talent in North Caro-
lima. The bill is practical and meets
the requirements of the people OF the
state. Its passage would mean grea.
saving to the peopl, as well as in
creased security in regard TO land
titles.
So let the judiciary committee re-
move their objection aud give the bill
a favorable report; else the masses
Of the people will want to know the
reason why. and II they do not act
now the people will send representa-
lives there who viii favor What they
want-that will benefit the many and
not rebound TO the interest OF the
few-andf those few lawyers.

THE SONG OF LIFE.

And lifts to the uppermost heaven
The name OF the song Is calhd Love,

II comes from the absolute source;
So put by your troubles. your doubts.
and your fears.
And lay by your griefs and remorse.
For love is beginning, fulfillment,and
home.
The source of all wisdom and power,
1t lights up the star In the infinite
dome,
And breathes thro' the breath OF the
flower.
