GRIITH A BRUNSpN. r. , TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1921. Sheriff Jackson and 1-ees he objects to having his. office placed upon a fee basis, Senator Burgwin has clearly no recourse ex cept that of permitting, his bill to die. in the Com mittee. Forthe Senator is hardly likely to Insist upon the Sheriff's inclusion; and, without the ;. Sheriff, his measure would amoiint to' making)-the Clerk of the Superior Court the sole recipient of fees among all the co.unty officers. It is genuinely gratifying to' observe the reason ing by which the Sheriff reached his conclusion. He sees in the fee system the possibility of over- zealousness lea.dJng.to improper or oppressive con '; dltions.. His sole purpose .in1 acquiescing in the - avaiyi f . f ai f ana wo a tYlot- Ti A ovtA Art foliar from extraordinary burdens which, vender the .pres ent arrangement press upon him. That relief he now has no hope of, and so he prefers to remain : on a salary in the expectation that. the excessive ' demands upon him will qomehow be meti through ; some other plan,. -We congratulate Sheriff Jack- .

Senator Burgwin's attitude. : There is no objection to the payment of . adequate salaries to county offl l cere. If the Clerk ' is n'ot' 'receiving ' ample com pensation he should not, le made: to, suffer a. mo ment longer than may be required for the -passage-. ;jor necessary legislatiopi.. .But i that is- ao entirely. -: different thing from granting him fees. . . The main contention-' of the proponents, of the fee system is r that officers serving : papers . would became more active in the discharge of , their duties under the .urge of the expected fee. ' The Sheriff, upon whom the task of serving papers rests, now declares that he does not want fees. Apparently, the fee ..system,, which once seemed to be growing dangerously fat and recalcitrant, has now faded .Into, a lean and hungry thing, with out even a "dependable leg to" stand on. K , i The Baby BiB rv : One result of congressional delay is ithe. danger of failure tp actiipon tbe.Sheppard-,Jowner bill for the protection of mothers and infants. The women" voters Of the country have been exerting every . pressure in behalf of the measure. Not merely because of these efforts, Jfcut' because pf the obvious need of decreasing our appalling loss on mothers and children, opponents of the "Baby" billare hard to find. If there be "any such, they do not dare to speak their, infnds. Tr.r , - Yet the bill waits in the House. The Senate passed it in December. Until last week, the in terstate committee of the House had it under con sideration, finally reporting it favorably. Now it must win the favor of the house rules committee and that of the steering committee before It can have a chance, at a .vote, . Once given that chance, it is certainjjto pass. ; Ir, the;; meantime,' those wlb.o are convinced it would mean an untold saving in human life and ': national development are prayerful. : i ; . The bill has had ample discussion. Not the need ; for it, which is self-evident, but th,e method 05, carrying " out., its l-purposes has been .. carefully studied. T&e coriclusion has been that, as drawn, '1 it is admirably directed toward effective action, . sincehe Children's Bureau, which is to have its administration,-is in closer touch with the re quirements of mothers ' and children than any other federal agency. The par of the government . would be not that of -dictatof with fespect'lto medical care, but: that tJf Tan authority for 'the " .. gathering and dissemination of information. V . Such information has' never been more urgently " required. -There was a f ourt'een months', delay be fore the Senate gave the bill a hearing; in the -face of authentic statistics compiled by the Jdetro ' politan Life Insurance Company, to the effect that vtheanumberTof maternal,: deaths will ;this . year n- crease by rf16fper cent Professor Irvipg Fisher's" .figures show f money .valtfe' of more5 than $30,- -; uuu.vou iobc 10 me nauon. every year rough the . : mortalitjr anidS fiiVffiera and babies Y Ignoranee I Is-h'biijfoki wlstage- ahd tragedy, ; and it isfeorance which the Shejpb'ard-fowner ' .

The Keparations Question , In France, t it. has been pointed out,' there are two factions.' bne holds the view that Germany must be crushed-at any cost and would rather give, iip' th hope of indemnity than the desire to see Germany a permapently broken and disorganized country.

At that time, there Is everyTeason to believe that George will change his mind and hold that the tax on exports is un desirable. His argument will probably be that it. is unsound because it would defeat its own end by depriving Germany of the oppdrtui&ty to make ; her exports exceed her imports and thereby estab lish her only means of-making the direct payments required of her. He will say, in the second place, that. It would, destroy any incentive which the Germans might have( to work hard, because the harder they1 work the more they will 'have to pay. He wjll, 'finally,, discover an, additional objection in, the. probable effect which the" levying dfsuch'a tax' would"' have upon America',' because ' it would raise the price of German- prddiiCts sold to con sumers Jn the United States, a fact not likely to niake! for the generosity and consideration which the'English and the French would like to deceive from a government to which they are indebted in the sunV bf, about seven billion dollars'. " l' Attrrexpert, waiting ik thj NeW York EvenHhg Pqst, directs attention to the fact that whatever Lloyd v George's 'pre-election , pledges . might have been he uas' more recently maintained ' that while Germany ught;to have' to' pay for kll the damage she lias done, yet she has not the. capacity to do so. Indeed, in.h'is address xtpon recefving' the freedom of tthV.Ci'ty-ot Brmingtiami he1 lays down the fol lowing principles with respect to reparations: that Germany is morally bound to pay for all the 'dam age inflicted, by her wanton acts; that it is funda mental common sense that' yda can only recover from another what ;he is! capable ot paying; .and that Germany must not be allowed to pay in a way. rwb.icnTwbula Inflict greater daniagiipori the ?counV ttrjr reeelvlngjpayment than not !to. pay kt mXi' ilor is clearly laying the ground work for the attitude which"; he expects'' to ' take "at 'the London -ronf er ence. -iMe realizes- that ?thV 'repatationsf question nrustbe settled without delay, and he proposes to settle it in. terms of JEngiish. common sense and not" ihf term's of 'French chauvinism Briand, re ceives his "country's support in his policy of con ciliation and moderation, the cleavage In "the" Anglo-French relatlops is certaiu to be- bridged over, Eut If Brland falls, It will mark, as arr ob server has put it, "the beginning of anew breach: between them and the British, a breach that will jnenace the prosperity, and. the peace of. the whole world, nd lu the, loqg run, bring jWell-p!gh ruin to France." .

It is not admissible to say that these cases show mistakes bf administration which should be , corrected. It is because the rules of the labor schedule are fulfilled, and that the unions demand that they should stand. -No amount of money will supply railway service " . if these practices are not corrected. The x ; briefest epitome, of the railway labor situation ; is, that, the Adamson law has t come home .Jo. roost, ? The railway men demanded ten hours pay for eight hours' work, and got it.

Speakers had been summoned from every section' of the State and they all testified eloquent ly and convincingly to the superior merits of this measure. ' It was a mass attack and if the mem bers of the General Assembly were laboring under any delusions as" to the sentiment of the people, they were speedily, and completely disillusioned. - Colonel Kirkpatrlcfc' was called' upon to deliver the concluding argument; Promptly on the zero hour he "leapfrogged" the other speakers and launched the attack on the fleeing enemy. He spoke for 20 fleeting minutes. , He .mentioned roads twice and his references then were very inci dental. He fought all the battles in which Nortli Carolinians have ever , engaged from an expedl- tion sent in the early colonial days to save Vene zuela to the breajking pfthe HJndenburg line. The burden: of hift apipeal was that he was very proud of jMotth, Carolina but that he thirsted for a chance to be proudr still. Afterail, we are about per suaded that he probably made1 the most effective speech of the occasion- . He did not lather his jury with facts and figures'. But he infused the matter-of-fact subject with State pride and State pride is a rather ennobling companion for those charged with' legislative responsibilities.

The second consil- oration is the question of extendlm the game into darkness. .- Of; late years, very few prames lw run into the twilight becaase tho im portant games are called promptly ard there is one element that" became ."mi:- what apparent last year, and is bki to be of greater importance, and that is, that undr the present rule of tak ing -out time on the forward pass . teamu using, the, forward pass very fre quently .extends the actual time of play considerably. Two minutes of ordi nary football play grow into eight min utes if forward passes are used on ac count of the time taken out. . It is probable that under the prpser. rules, therefore, just as teams now an likely to. take big chances with the for ward 'pass ill the last' few minutfs c: a game, so with an extra period tlier would be even .a greater proportion forward passes used. Thus it migh easily, happen that a grame would t' extended more .than the officials lia anticipated when they; started t!v game 'and it might run into darkn and have to be called.
