The Charlotte Election.

The city of Charlotte has just
held an election of more than usu-
u interest. Theelection involved
the principle, new in application
to political affairs in North Caro-
lima, of the recall of officials. The
petition calling for the recall Of
the mayor and two commission
erS for the city grew out of the
recent trouble between the own
arS and laborerS of the Strct car
system of the city. On the 26th
of August five Sympathizers with
the discharged operatives were
shot and killed in a riot at the caI
barns. 1t seems that shot was
fired by some one, whcreupon
the police squad fired into the
crowd. The labor leaders claim
that the shot was fired by Chief
of.police Orr, and thecity admin
istration was charged with in
competency and failure to pre-
serve law and order. On the 9th
err hand, the supporters of the
administration, led By the Char
lotte Observer, claim I'd to be the
supporters of Law and order.
The contest was hotly waged an,
resulted in a substantial victor
for the city administration. In
mediately after the election Jak
+. Newell, attorney for the labo
executive board announced tha
warrants will be issued chargin,
Chief,of,police Orr, thirty G
I more policemen, and aboutfiftee
strike breakers with murder.

The Printers Strike.

For several weeks those of us
who depend largely for our know
ledge of what is going on in the
world on magazines and other
periodicals published in New
York have been without reading
matter, owing to some sort of
strike that some of us have found
it hard to quite get straight. The
Literary Digest is the first of the
magazines to find a way to pub,
lish at least one issue without
the aid of printers. The maga.
zine has been reproduced from
typewriter pages by photo.
graphic process. The other per
iodicals have declared their de-
Termination to go to press in New
York or somewhere else. So We
may hope, it seems, before lont
to be getting our favorite in ont
form or another.

Free AntitoIin,

One thing the State Board of
Health has done for the people
of North Carolina that deserves
more publicity than it has re-
ceived is to secure through legis-
lative action free antitoXin for
the treatment of diphtheria, as
we'll as typhoid serum and small
pox vaccine. The fact that this
act alone saves the people more
than $4,000 a year justities the
existence of this worthy institu-
ton, not to take into accounthun-
drcdS of lives saved and other
benefits derived each year that
cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents. The State now man
ufacturcrS it's own antitoXin and
furnishes it free, charging only
- cents to- cover wrapping and
the cost of the hypodermic nee
die.
Unfortunately q great many
people who are uninformcd in the
matter of free antitoXin are taken
advantage of by druggists and
some phySiciens and caused to
purchase antitoxin, manufacture
ed by private concerns
and put on sale at handsome pro
fits both to the manufacturer
and the druggist. Some families
have been known to pay as high
as SD to Sl5 for the same treat
ment that thedruggiStcouldhavt
supplied for one dollar or less D
course there is no profit for the
druggist in handling the free
treatment and as there is no law
prohibiting the sale of the high
er priced antitoxin in cast cares
they will do so unless the stat
manufactured goods are deman
dcd. 1t is the duty of ply sician'
> to let the people know what ha
, been done for them along tn i
, line and let them have the flu
: benefit of it. Deaf CarOlinian.

The Labor Conference.

AS this is written the confer
ence called by the president to
try to settle the differences be-
tween labor and capital seems to
have failed. The forces of capi-
tai and labor have split on the
principle of collective bargaining
and the labor delegates have
walked out. The President from
his bed appealed without effort
for harmony. Since the begin
ming of the conference there has
been little ground, in fact, for
hope that anything worthwhile
would be accomplished by the
groups composing it. The capi-
talist group seems aware of the
unmistable drift of the world -
or progress of the world tone
may take his choice of termS)-
toward industrial democracy -
or industrial radicaliSm or in
dustrial bolSheyism (again one
may take his choice); but instead
of showing any spirit of concila
ton, they seem determined to
fight to the last ditch. On the
other hand it is significant tha
the spokesman for the labor
group in it's decision to withdraw
from the conference should b'
the veteran leader and great con
Servative in the ranks of labor
Samuel Gompers. "You hav'
defeated the labor group in it
declaration" said Mr.. Gompers
but we will meet You again il
conference and when we do NEE
you there you will be glad total
collective bargaining"
In the meantime, despite tn
efforts Of Secretary Wilson to AT
feet a compromise, the prepare
tions for the great coal strike
goes on; and it seems probabl
that the only way to prevent th
paralysis of the coal industr
with the consequent sutferin
that such paralysis would enta
is for the government to tax

Section of the Constitution and

One other thing Democrats es-
pecially should do, and that is
find out if they can, how the va,
rious candidates for the Demo

stand On this question of taxa,

either candidate. Certainly Nor
rison, Page and Gardner have
views, very decided views, on
this big issue. 1t is much more
important to the people of Nortl

individual, no matter how good
hand. shaker he may be or hoy

pocrite, and determined to write
the truth one time and published
the following statement:

Just Try Democracy Once.

The Saturday papers chroni-
cled a clash of labor and capital
over the collective bargain"
And still men wonder what is
the matter with the country, why
are so many men loafing, why so
many demands being made, why
are so many men discontented?
The elements which demand a
voice in human affairs are called
radicals or progressives, and
those who do not believe in pOpu.
lar government, whether that
control be in church, industry or
state, call themselves conserva-
tives, though in reality they are
reactionaries. There isn'ta thing
in the world mysterious about
this whole stupid business. One
group believes that italone should
do all the thinking in religion, all
the directing in industry, all the
governing in state affairs.
The number of people who do
not believe in popular govern.
ment in this, the greatest of all
popular governments, isamazing-
~ large. Plenty of them trust a
government for the people; but
they do not believe in govern
ment BY the people. They be-
lieve political wisdom has been
vouchsafed to the few and that
the few should rule. This few
should govern in church, in state
and in commerce. This few
should be allowed to run rail
way just as it desires because
this few knows more about rail.
roads than the many can know.
This few never recognized the
right of governmental regulation
this power was rammed down
its throat. They believe men OF
individual enterprise will de
velop a country better and that
The people in it will be happier il
there be no interference with it.
This handful, this remnant be
