According to his biographer, every
step in the negotiations, extending
ov y q period of three months, s
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt without the
aid of any of his most trusted coun-
sellers, John Hay, his secretary of
state, being critically i'll: Secretary
Root having resigned from the cab

rotary Taft being absent in the Phil
ippines.

his correspondence with amazement
bordering on Incredibly" writes
Mr.. Bishop. at is incredible that
one man could do so much and so
well. In no other task of his life
was the abnormal energy, mental
and physical, OF Theodore Roose-
Welt put to a evere test and from
none did he emerge more triumph
antly. His activity was as tireless
as his resourcefulness was mex
haustible."
The presidents activity was di-
reeted, he said, to mot only steadily
and irresistibly forcing the two
warning nations into a conference
but bringing other nations like Eng
land, France and Germany to sup
port of his efforts. If Russia
baked and showed signs of refusal,
he persuaded the kaiser to bring
pressure upon the car in the in
I~terest of peace. If Japan showed
similar signs. England was appealed
to, to bring pressure upon her. In
the end Germany alone really
helped. and Roosevelt gave un'
stinted praise to the kaiser evei
Iafterward for what he did then"
In all of this correspondence the
colonel wrote without restraint oil

GET DOUGHBOYS' GOAT

KEN, Russian Lapland, Aug. 26.
American railway forces and
other allied troops operating on the
Murmansk front this summer found
the Arctic mosquitoes worse foes
than the B%olsheviki. "After the war
is over" one Yank recently told the
correspondent, we're going to come
up here and organize an expedition
to hunt these mosquitoes for their
ivory. They're not like ordinary
mosquitoes. They buzz up, bite a
piece out of your leg, and then fly
away into the trees and eat it,"

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Joseph
Bucklin Bishop, for 80 years a per-
sonal friend of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, and who, five years be-
fore the former presidents death,
was commissioned by him Ito write
the history of the period which COW
cred his public career" presents in
the September issue of Scribner's
Magazine, the first of a series of
papers which gives for the first time
many interesting sidelights on the
life of the famous American.
The paper, entitled Roosevelt
Peacemaker," selected and arranged
from the former presidents public
and private correspondence, amount
ing to more than 10000 letters,
deals with Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts
to end the wal between Russia and
Japan and which resulted in the
Portsmouth peace conference of
1905.
For the first time, apparently, is
revealed the fact that Japan made
the initial overtures for peace. Four
days after the great Japanese naval
victory over Rojestzensky's fleet in
the sea of Japan on May ~, 1905,

President Wilson proposed an in

hours work, retroactive to May l, in

therefore was inauvisable.

SUPER.
INTENDFNT FILES
CUSTER SUIT

On Monday of this week,
Miss Jennie E. Kelleher, the
retiring County Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction,
filed suit with the Clerk OF
the District Court against
Mrs. Margaret Burnham,
Superintendent-elect, to re-
strain her from holding the
position.
The complaint alleges, a.
mong other things, that the
defendent cannot legally
qualify for the position, on
the grounds that she does
not hold the state certificate
of a grade necessary as re-
|quired by law.
This action was fle1 after
q complaint had been filed
with the Commissioners al
lodging as facts the above,
together with the request
that the Board refrain from
swearing Mrs. Burnha II in
to Office.
The Commissioners decid-
ed, however, that the ques-
ton of Mrs. Burnham' quail
lhcatlons was a. matter for
the courts to decide and that
lady was sworn into Office,
the Board taking the posi-
ton that she had been duly
and legally elected to office.
Much interest is manifest
ed in this case which will
probably be heard at the
term of the District
Court.

CUSTER COUNTY
JUSTLY PRAISED

efollowing is taken from
the report of Harvey Alfred,
director Of the State Farm
Markets Bureau and is of in
terest to all our citizens:
"Custer county, situated
almost in the central part of
the state on the headwat-
ers of the Salmon river and
its tributaries, is one of the
chief cattle and sheep raising
counties of the State. 1t has
excellent range and an album
dance of water and contains
21,900 acres of. agricultural
land of an average value per
acre of $21,5O. Custer coun
ty has a population of g.
700.
Challis, with a population
Of 600, is the county seat.
Mackay, the principal bust
ness center, has a population
of about 1900. Large oper-
ating lead and copper mines
are located there.
Agricultural products are
not grown in sufficient guam
titles for export, although |
the climate and the soil, es-
pecially on the Salmon river,
is very favorable for produc
ton of a much greater guam
tity than the people OF the
county would require.
One of the most beautiful
and frequently visited sum-
mer resorts OF the state is To-
Gated on the headwaters of
the Salmon river, in the
Stanley Basin of this counto
Here many hot springs are
found.

Dutch Form OF Golf.

Where and when golf started no
body knows of a certainty; whether
or not it comes from Holland or Scot
land matters little, perhaps, except to
the seeker after the truth and nothing
but the truth. To him we would say
that some sort of a game resembling
golf was played in Holland oftentimes
on the ice with stakes instead of
holes. No rules for such play have
ever been discovered, but from pic
lures we learn that the f2ish of this
Hollandish form was somewhat after
the fashion Of croquet, with the ball
being hit between tTo sticks.

THE LAW SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE

THE LAW SHOULD BE EFFECTIVE
The fact that employees Of children
are opposing the COnnor-siaunders
child labor bill says the News & 0I:-
server should commend the latter
measure TO the advocates Of effective
child labor Legislation. Senator II.
G. Connor directed attention to this
situation in his address 10 the Social
Service Conference in Raleigh on
Friday afternoon AID stated that the
opposition Of manufacturers and IIUhe
representing their views had led him
to the conclusion hat the bill ought
single modification.
So far as the cotton manufacturing
industry and other factories are cell
cerned, the passage OF his bill Will not
make the slightest difference to them.
The Federal law will be enforced re-
gardless OF State aCtIoG. There are,
however, some ether occupations
covered in his bill which Will not be
covered by the Federal law and upon
which there should be State legisla-
ton
Seeing that this is true, the defeat
of the Connor-Saunders bill vii
amount to nothing except to further
advertise throughout the United
States that the people of North Caro-
lima are unwilling to enact and en-
force laws for the protection of chill
dren. This black mark against the
State has stood long enough and We
commend the efforts ID have it rubbed
out. Now that the question is squar-
ely before the General Assembly, and
if, knowing all the conditions, the
General Assembly declines to enact
good and sufficient law for the pro-
lection of children, it will he All open
statement of the fact that our people
do not desire to give this protection
1t will be so Interpreted, and being so
interpreted a very bad reputation for
the State will 4fSy be made worse.
We have examined the other bills
which have been Introduced III the
Legislature regulating the employ
ment OF children, and they do not ut
all meet the situation. Our opinion is
that none Of them except the Labor
Departments bill will be recognized by
the Federal government. Fhe author
of it, in our opinion, made he best
form of administration, in that the
Department of .Labo~ and Printing
would have the cooperation of the
superintendent Of Public instruction,
and of the Secretary OF the State
Board of Health. We cannot conceive !
that either SuperindenL Brooks. Com

dertake the enforcement of Caild'
