In spite of the opposition of the big manufacturing interests, the child labor problem is going to be investigated. The committee on Judiciary of the House report ed adversely, very Jadversely on Senator Beveridge's billrprbpos ing to control the products of child labor through the Inter state Commerce Act. ButthePres ident had'made up his mind that if there Were close to 2,000,000 child bread-winners in this coun try, many, if not most of .them, employed in unsanitary worlc; it was a matter thatought to. be investigated. So he directed that the investigation proceed, and now there has come another hitch bver the 'matter.1 lleprsentative Tawney of the House Committee on Appropriations wanting to put the labor on the, Census Bu reau, and the President claiming that it naturally , comes within the province of the Commission er of Labor. It would not seem at first sight.that there could be very much question about this, but there is some reason behind the demand of the House.. It so happened that , both the Census Bureau and ; the Labor Commission are under ; the De partment of Commerce and La bor, and on an appeal being made to Secretary Strauss of the De partment of Commerce ad La bor, he naturally agreed with the President that the Commissioner of Iabor was the man who ought to do the work.. The matter was even submitted to Director North of the Census bqreau,' and hesaid that while he had the machinery for doing the work it was d mat ter that naturally belongs to the Commissioner of Labor, and he hoped Neill would be assigned the work. Charles P. Neill is the man by the way who in company with J. B. Raynolds did the original inquiry in .Chicago that, stirred up all the trouble over the Pack ingtown situation. He is a young man, very quiet, but one of the sort that does things, and he is a frend of the President, which counts for a good deal in the reli ance that IrT Roosevelt will put on his report. So it is likely that after .all Mr. Neill wiil have the job of looking into the child-labor situation, and there is not the least question that after he has made a report on it there will be some energetic motions made from the White House that will force legislative action at the next session of Congress. ' - vTlit federal government has a nice little problem on its hands in the case of one Mr. Nilarea, a cit izen of Mexico, who is now being held at'Elpaso Btibject to depor tation under the immigration reg uiations. There has been more or less written about Mr. Vilarea in the papers lately, but the delicate position that the govenment is ploced in has never been explain ed. It seems that Vilarea headed one of the, numerous unsuccessful revolutionary movements in Mex ico recently, and is badly wanted by the Mexican governmeat. The Mexican government jhos an ef fective if not very nice way of dis posing of political agitation by taking the agitator out and shoo. ting hitn and saying ; nothing more about it. Of course this country does not give up politi cal refugees' to Mexico or any oth er powerV That is one of Our hab its and hasgotten us some desir able and' more undesirable citi zens who; had left their country for their count ry 's good. ; But in the present case, the sit uation' was complicated by : the fact' that th? unsuccessful revolu tionist had, killed' a man s o m e time!'dbwn: fin Mexictv and" had Jbeen jrtjt in i jail for it, ' Just hp ustifiable the circumstances were has not developed, but Vilarea was convicted of a crime involv ing moral turpitude and hence was not admissablo to t h i s country under the immigration regulations. Then the question arose. If he was sent back to Mexico he undoubtedly would betaken and shot as a revolu tionist. Of course, we did not want to give up a political refugee but he could not come in as an immigrant. So what were . we to do. The State Department hand the Immigration bureau have been chewing over the matter for some months and Mr. Vilarea is still id jail. It has been suggest ed to them that if he is to be deported, it had better be about midnight and nothing said to anyone till the next day. Or he might be taken a few hundred miles west' of El Paso and shoved over the border, in which case he would stand some show of get ting away. But in the interest of pure sport, it looks as though he ought to be given "game law'' and this he will not get if he is turned loose in the grasp of the Mexican Government, Southern educational institu tions will be a good deal disap- Dointed at the decision of the Peabody Trustees who met in Washington this week not to release anv of the funds now in V their possession in aid of south em education. The money a- mounts to about $2,300,000 and was left bv Geo. Peabody of Lon don, his library fame, antedating that of Mr, Carnegie. Thefuudhas been accumulating . since 1867 and now ' amounts bo a goodly sum. The trustees will eventually distribute it educational institu tions, mostly in the south, and it was thought that this would be done at their meeting in W ash ington this week. But they re mained in session all day and then announced that they would keep the matter under advise ment till their next meeting in November. So the schools and colleges that had hoped to benefit will have to wait awhile. But the money will eventually come to them, v . There is now a little appropri ation of $50,000 but of very great interest to everyone held up in .Congress. It is to enable the Interstate Commerce Com mission to make practical tests of railway signals and safety devices in general with a .view to reccom mending their adoption by the railroads. The Commis sion yias never' before had any money to experiment within this way, but the increasing frequency of railroad collisions and the attendant loss of life and property has made it almost im perative. that, something should be done in this line. The chances are that the appropriation will be defeated at the present session but there is hope that it will pass in the next Congress and inven tors of safety appliances will have, a chance to get their sys tems of protection tested free and given the stamp, of gqvern ment approval if they (prove worthy." ' "i- 'l . r .: Doctors are Puzzled. 1 1' The remarkable recovery of Ken neth Mclver, of Nanceboro. Me., is the subject of much .interest to the medic' 1 fraternity and a wide circle of friends.

(StatP(ville Landmark.) ,l In a recent issue of The Land- mark expreswu the omnion, which It has long entertuiund, that there is entirely too much tolerance, too much ftush, tor the man who diiul8 to excess, while all the. indinirrmtion is poured on the nmM who makes and sells liquor to huijiiK the demand of those who drink. In commendation oi that position The Landmark is 'pleased to have the following letter from Rev. Dr. J.C. Rowe, of Concord, one of the most promiupnt and beet known, as well as one ol t h e ablest Methodist ministers in t lie State. The letter is printed by his permission: MI have just read in the Char lotte Observer 'Too Much Uuli Over the Poor Drunkard" taken from the Scatesville Landmark. I am seized with a desire to write and commend the editor lor that article. The logical inference from the temperance teaching as I have it and heard it for 25 year has been that if liquor is within easy reach of a man he is excusa ble for getting drunk in fact he i&expected to get irunic. Tem perance teachers don't intend this inference to bo drawn from their teaching, but the logic of sentitneut points thiti way. Con sequently the liquor pellers nre denounced as engaged in the low business of debauching men and making drunkards. The liquor- makers and sellers are accused of being the sole makers of drunk ards. Therefore the remedy in to abolish the making and selling fof liquor. So fur very good, JBut liquoris made and sold tosupply a demnnd. Stop the demand una the supply will stop. "The best remedy is to make drnukeness disrupt abie. If social sentiment was strong nnd intol erei.l. against drinking liquor many men who drink liquor would let it alone. Public sentl men t will not allon certain classes to drink. A preacher or a woinau drunk on the streets is u public disgrace. Public sentiment will not'toWare if, Suppose he same intolerant sen timent existed toward everybody else Uris a man any more right to be drunk than a woman? If a man gets drunk and commits n crime let it he an aggravation of crime instead ol an txcuse as is usually plfndid. I have oftn said thnt we needed an apostle to redeem the peopls from the frroreous teach ing of temperance,. Perhaps this article of The ' Landmark is the begiuning of that redemption A man's tern per a ncs is in his self- control and hot in his environ meut. Perhaps it would h a v i been better not to have had any tree of forbidden fruit, in the Garden of Eden. ' Modern- tem perance teaching would have said. "D:g it up nnd remove it evond I he reach of man." The Lord didn't do it. But he held man responsible for rating the fruit. . ' ' . "Distillenes, barrooms, dispen saries and 'blind thrers'! are discredit to our civilization am ought to re abolished. Uut thi'j never will lie while man can drink liquor and hold any politicnl or judicial office from township con stable to President of the nation or serve as jurors, or belong to the whurcli or move in the so called best society , I am glad you Sounded 1 be right note in this great complex question ot drinking. I hope you will keep it up." ; i OABTOtlXAi BwitLt Tb Kind Yw Haw tw3y Soagllt ' As to the Beforniattry 1 . . (Charlotte News.) Referring to the News as the paper "That perhaps has made the strongest, most relentless fight of all for the reformatory," and commenting on a recent edi torial in the News, the 'Wilming ton Dispatch has the following to say with regard to the refonna tory: "If the Senate stands by the louse's vote of 78 to 6, better still by all thepeopleoftheState, who understand the matter, the reston bill providing for the es tablishment of a reformatory will become a law. There is but littlo doubt but what the Senate will adopt the measure, and when if. (biPH hrin-btor rtn.vn will rlawn for; North Carolina, -because it will o j - " mean the beginning of time when children of the State who have done wrong.the majority of them through inattention and thouht- essness, will be shown the error of their ways and an attempt madpato teach them to be better in future, thereby not only bene fitting themselves but helping to uphold their State. The refor matory fight has beenalong one and in many respects a hard one, but victory, as generally, is no doubt, to perch upon the banner of those in the right. The estab- ishmenti of a reformatory was sought at the last legislature, but during'the interim since then and the present session much mission ary work was done and the -wo men of the State entered into the fight and besought that the legis lature do something to rescue youthful criminals. - There has been opposition; in fact the six negative votes in the House show ed that there was opposition to the bill at the time of passage, but this opposition while meant in good faith, we know lacked un derstanding." We agree with the Dispatch in the above in every particular. And we, too, believe the reforma tory is safe with the Senate. As we have: said before, the public eye is fixed on the Senate in its action with regard to the matter and we trust the bill will, shortly pass that body. 1 On the fight waged for the in stitution there is cause for pride throughout the state. Scarce ly ever were so many persons of all classes lined up in support of a good measure. And now that victory is in sight there is still greater cause for rejoicing. Torture By Savages.
