Alexander, a Dllworth politician who lias recently sprung In to prominence, to an Observer report er yesterday. ' i "No, I could not get out last night; was too .busy up town.' But Mr. Montelth 'waa kind enough to bring um a report of the proceedings." "Well, didn't we put up good men?" ''indeed you did. There are no bet ter to be had anywhere." 1 hardly ee how people could vote against men like those. Do you?" The candidates in Dllworth are par excellence," declared the newspa per man. "The election there will re sult In good aldermen and school com missioners. Either side Has good men. That Is the good of the contest now waging in our little city. The Busi ness Men's Municipal League has ac complished that much to say the least. All classes are forced to take a hand, mad that Is what we need here in Charlotte. I believe In the people, If you can get them Interested." "Yes," declared Mr. Alexander, fly ing the track," but that league didn't do what It should have done. It Is against Shannonhouse for recorder." "Now I have takeri a little Inter est in the Business Men's Municipal League, and, personally, I am for Frank Shannonhouse. I thought that he should have been made solic itor last fall: 1 am for him for re corder if he wants it. Therefore, I am Interested to know how the league has mistreated hirn." "Why, It should have ' endorsed film." "I don't agree with you about that. He Is not an Issue." "Why, you r-ndorscd Mayor Mc Nlnch." "The boyg asked the mayor to an nounce himself: the mayor Is elected by the people while the recorder is elected by the boarrt of aldermen. I like an alderman that you can trust Without being pledged. I do not be lieve In plrdglnp a lot of gentlemen. This, of course, is my individual opin ion. 1 was for Nell Pharr for the Senate. 1 did not care how he stood On any question for the simple rea son that I knew that he would do what he thought was right when he was face to face with an Issue. That Is the sort of men we want In of fice." "You admit that we put up good men last night," nail Mr. Alexander. "I do. The candldat'-s put up by the Business Men's Laguo an- all right, too. You cannot say thai Joe Garibaldi and T L. Kirkpatrick are not business men. Th'y had nothing to begin life with, hut by persistent efforts and hard work h has accu mulated property. They art good bus iness men. No one gave them any thing. Your men are (if the same sort." "Yes, our men are buslnesn men." "By the way. Mr. Alexander," kaUI the reporter, "did you all endorse Frank Shannonliouse at your meeting last night?" "No," was the quirk reply. "I knew that Mr. Montelth did not give me any u h resolution." "Why, Mr. Alexander, did you not endorse him?" 'That would have made an Issue," was the Innocent reply. "Consistency, thou art a Jewel," de clared the seiribe as he passed on, leaving Mr. Alexander to his own con science. The reporter traveled all day, gath ering Items here and there, hut his thoughts drifted brek to the conver sation on the street.

THE KJXXNT MILL CASUS. The New York Sun Goes to Die Hot torn "t tlie Prosecution of the Isouth crn Cotton 31111 Men and Makes home Interesting; Observations -Labor Agents Have the Ear of the ' President end He la PutUnK Out the WordA Trial That Wee Farce Pure end Simple A Story . Vigorous end Pointed. . ,t The New York Bun, always smart, fearlcti and deep, thinks that It has gone to' the bottom of the recent to do at Oreensboro, wliere number o repiKable citlnms were forced t pass through one of the greatest farces In the way of a trial fever heard In North Carolina. Thoso who witnessed' the la bored efforts of the 'District Attorney to make a mountain out ct a mole hill, saw the case Just about as the world has seert It since. The Bun printed the following editorial In Its Issue of the 18th: "N)t only the cotton mill men, but all persons Interested In that Indus try and In Southern labor condition generally, are still asking themselves why the government attorneys In chargo cf the prosecution at Greens boro, North Carollnu, ten days or so ago, made such an unnecessary exhi bition of themselves as they did on that jeeasion. The charge against the mill men was one of violation of the alien contract labor laws, but Attorney General Bonaparte's bright young men sav fit to lug In and endeavor to' establish the entirely ' Impertinent as sumption that the alleged Importa tion of contract labor was not only Il legitimate but gratuitous!? so, there being no scarcity of skilled cotton mill labor at that time. The government case waa weak enough at best. The Injection of this last issue simply covr cred it with ridicule. "Thj North Carolina newspapers ore btltlly speculating on fhe fact thst the government attorneys, obviously Ignorant of labor conditions, should have depended upon officials of the National Textile Union to supply them with the needed Information. Of course the prosecution was Inspired originally by organized labor. One would think, however, that the gov ernment had celebrated sufficiently Its loyalty to the unions by launching the prosecutions at their Instance; and surely the labor leaders might have stopped short of making their very obedient instruments a spectacle of mockery and derision. The Textile Manufacturers' Journal, of New York, hns shown a dozen times or more within the past 18 months that there Is a dearth of textile labor, unskilled as well as skilled, not only In the South, but In New England as well. It has published the testimony of lending manufacturers of high respon sibility to rubstantiato Its allegations. And yet, in spite of the notorious facts, the government attorneys turn up at Greensboro, srtlesg and Inno cent as so many sucking calves, ex ploiting a fantastically absurd hy pothesis and depending for its de monstration upon the easy testimony of thr.'c imported labor union witness es! Village Ingenues, In ribbons and olgtalls, dancing around the maypole, may he as picturesque, t'ertalnlly they cannot be e,ven approximately as pa thetic. "It is worth something to know that the Houtliern mill men will never be . permitted to take liberties so long as union labor has the large ear of a I sympathetic and submissive govern I ment. In the long run the facts are I always valuable. Even the most timid l and Invertebrate and elastic are bet ter off for an exact understanding of their predicament. And the predica ment, aw we understand It In the light of these recen1 revelations, amounts to an affectionate allium e of the govern ment and union labor against capital and free Industry."
