The board of ald rmen, a appears mora fully In our ntw column, vot ed 6 to 4, at Its mctfng last night, for a city extension modified from that agreed uron heretofore this be cause the county's Senator and Rep " resentatives In the Legislature aTO toot united a to what the boundary should be nor In agreement with the previous action of the board. The result Is a compromise proposition, and, It Is hoped and expected that It will be accepted by the community Interested and the county' represen tation at Raleigh, an the bent solu tion of the problem, under the cir cumstances, since It Is a proverb that all differences upon Important ques tions, in communities and legisla tive bodies, are finally settlud by com promise. That of last night was pro posed by Judge Burwell, who, Indl-e vldually and as the leading repre sentative of the committee of one hundred. Is In favor of a two and one-half mile extension. It contem plates a boundary of two and a half miles In certain designated directions and two miles In all others. Independ ence Square being the basis of meas urement. It would seem that the non-voting members last night are not especially opposed to the bound ary for which the majority of those voting declared themselves, else they would have gone on record with an adverse expression. The limit contemplated by the de cision Of last night Is practically that 'suggested by Representative Preston. It means an Irregular line, under which would be Incorporated the Im mediately adjacent suburhn "the built-up section." ins the HeH was Expressed In the letter of Messrs. Pharr, Dowd.

Inasmuch 'as child labor and the alllod problem, of compulsory educa tion are up tor discussion and pos sible legislative action In North Car olina th results of ome Tcctsnt so ciological expta-lmenta of thl nature In Chicago may prove instructive M a warning what , not to do. These The Chicago , Chronicle editorially sums up a follows:. ' f ;:iV'". ' "ProfeiiswGrahiim Taylor regretfuny frtmlts that th present child labor law ha resulted In keeplr a large propor tion of children between th.ge utM and 16 yeara In WleneM. and placing mem under- vicious- influences - it ; t!i most ImpresalonsWe period of their lives, "It was certain that most of the boy of 18 or 18 would not' go to school; th law wouW not eermlt them to go to work. Professor Taylor Instances thai 'In lngl gang of seven or eight boy charged with twenty-eight .burglar all were between the se of 14 and H. The circumstance tells Its own story "After boys have reached the ago ot 14 a large proportion of them find schooi life Intolerable. If they ere forced to at tend school they-learn 'nothing: It they plsy truant a tney raumi u,r-"T-' leii.rn burglary and other unschcfarly '"One of the greatest corses of this city is the existence of organized bands of young hoodlums who might be learning something of real us to them and earn In s living besides, but who are forced Into deviltry by the law." Of course. The last itaW of any community which heeds such propo sals as these Is sure to be worse than the first. It will be observed that a compulsory school attendance law failed to operate a a corrective; that husky boys who are not permitted to work have proved more apt to learn crime than anything else. Even the sociologists, wo learn from The Chronicle, now admit that the law Is s failure. The Observer makes no question that child labor furnishes one of those cases In which reasonable Inter ference by the State Is Justified. It Is convinced that the present North Carolina child-labor law Is Insuffi cient. In the first place, there Is no provision for Its enforcement. If a statute stops short with declaring the thing which must be done or must not bo done and specifying penal ties, It Is Ineffective unless the gen eral legal machinery suffices to secure obedience to It. In some cases spe cial means must be provided for bringing violations to the knowledge of prosecuting officers and grand Ju ries, and the child-labor law is one of theie. There Is need of an Inspect or, under the fllate bureau of labor and printing, clothed with all neces sary authority, whose duty It shall be to visit factories and see whether the law Is being observed. A further emendation which would commend Itself to The Observer provided It Is Judiciously drawn Is one making. In the vicinity of the age limit, a dis tinction between children attending Hrhool or who have attended a certain bngth of time, and those not attend ing. In short, we nre In favor of more mid better child-labor IcrMi tlon such as will benefit and not In jure the child, society or the conscien tious manufacturer. This question of child labor Is an Intensely practical one and legislators woulH do well when they approach It j to consider It as practical men, basing ! their action- upon conditions and not j theories, sociological or otherwise. If this Is done and we confidently trust ! that It will he there neod be no ap- j prehension Bs to the outcome. i TiiF. Komrs wfmth totton and ITS OTlIFIt KOrnfFN.

The committee flnda the director guilty of the charges preferred bv Commissioner Tatum that it Jaa been stocking up the dis pensary with great quantities 01 un salable goods,, on which there were profit- running aa high aa iuo per cent, to the sellers, this over the re peated protests of patrons, as well aa of Commissioner Tatum and county dispensers throughout the Stat. These goods members of the board had the shipping clerk send out in place of goods the dispensers called for. The most sensational feature of the report is the finding that MaJ. John Black, of the board, went out to Peoria and made a purchase of about $126,000 of bulk goods from Clark Bros., which are the same at tl.fiO to 11.75 a gallon, which the new blender the dispensary has em ployed, Mr. Norfolk, of Richmond, says ia only high wine, worth about 11.33 a gallon. The testimony shows that while Black alone made the purchase, Messrs. Wylle and Chair man Rawlinson both acquiesced. This was a caah purchase, the drafts com ing in as fast- as the liquor. After Clerk Mobley had paid $30,000 on this, he wrote Major Black to hold up the balance, as the draft were coming in too fast to be met Major Black, who is now at Hot Springs, Ark., where ' he is being terated, Ark., where he Is being treated, suspended all further payments. The report also says: 'That the State dispensary is overstocked, and that there was on hand in the State dispensary on Janu ary 15, 107, about $669,000 worth of stock. "That $400,000 worth of stock Is sufficient to run the State dispensary. We find that this overstocking has been going on both' under the old board of directors and under the-new board. "We further find that In the pur chase of liquors for tho dispensary, the law has not been observed In a number of Instances; that liquors have been bought contrary to the rule established by the board Itself for the purchase of liquor. "We find that the present board of directors passed a rule on or about the 8th day of March, 1906, that all orders for the purchase of liquors must be signed by at least two mem bers of the board of dlrecters. but said order was subsequently modified so as to allow the clerk of the board to order the bulk goods. "We find from the testimony that tho liquor thus purchased by Mr. Black from Clerk Bros, ft Sons at $1.60 to $1.75 per gallon, Is a very Inferior quality of liquor, being what Is known as high wipe, and Is not worth more than $1.33 to $1.35 per gallon, and can be bought in the market at that price. "We further And that the board of directors failed or refused to buy In sufficient quantities X corn, X gin and X rye. although there was a big demand for tills class of goods and frequent requests made to the board to order that claws of goods, and that the board claims that certain firms refused to ship out this class of Roods, when ordered, but we find on examination that there nre on file many bids from other reputable firms offerlna; to furnish these goods. "We And that since the meeting of the General Assembly the board of directors bun adopted a resolution that all orders for liquor must be countersigned by Commissioner Ta tum. "We have not been able to ascer tain the number of cars of liquor on the sidetracks in the city or en route In tho dispensary at any particular time. Mr Tatum stated In his evi dence that he was Informed by tho railroad authorities that on a cer tain day in i he firsi, week In January there were ;i6 car loads on the tracks here. Mr. Mobley testified that he made an examination three or four duys later and found 12 cars on the Iracks, mime of which wer ' loaded with glass "Under the authority vsted In your committee, ue have Instructed the dispensary mill lals not to pay any more mnnev t,, Dark Bros, or to Lehman. .m, wo submit the matter to your hoiionihip body for such ac tion as in voiir opinion may be neces sary." 8KNATK HODGES DEBATE.
