MonUrelio News Stand '(:".;: ftA s tM4Mia Vskttiannsni sTVa TUESPAY, JULY 80, 1907. A DECISIVE BATTLE. Since some of our exchanges are under a, alight misapprehension in the matter we may say that North Caro lina' victory In the rate law contest laoks nothing whatever of complete ness. Any contrary Impression found ed upon the fact that the whole con troversy'tes up to the United Skates Supreme Court for final adjudication ldeoldodly erroneous. There was never the least desire manifested by the State to do other than hasten this; the questions at issue all related solely to the Intervening situation. It was out of Judge Fritchard's unfortunate attempt to enjoin the State, nullifying a State law before it had been de clared guilty and while Its fairness was a matter of disagreement among reasonable men, that the entire ex citement arose. But for this there could never have been any serious talk of clashing iJtate and Federal Jurisdictions; and, in fact, there was no clash even as events turned. No process of any court met with a moment's disobedience. Jt was In ao that North Carolina won a victory which some able obnervrr's believe likely to prove a turning-point In American constitutional hlutory. The victory was alike complete and fairly won. North Carolina hw achieved something of which ahe may well feel proud. RIVAL FARMER OROAMZATIOXS. ,-AJfwho know anything about the Farmers Union an organisation whose name Is rather misleading know that it docs not affiliate with the Southern Cotton Association. There appears to be only Jealousy and dislike between them. The Hon. Tom Watson's Weekly Jf ffersonlan, which makes much of the Farmers' Union hammers on the Cotton AsHoclation as If ft were an anvil. During the re cent fitate convention of the Oeorgla Farmers' Union State Lecturer O.

In any vent, I want to say in the most positive manner that we will have nothing to ilo with this organization." It is needless to say that, this divid ed state of affairs I very unfortun ate, "but at present a remedy is not at hand. The Farmers' Union and the Southern Cotton Association will no more Jhave dealings with each oth er than would the Jews of old with the Samaritans. 'There is a good ohance to make htetory tn North Carolina," remarked Th Waefelngton Post of Saturday, "and from this conflict may come a para-mount political iwue States' right. - Thai would be a relief. The country is tired of the octopus chaao." History was made, but U was so made that States rights are likely to tie come paramount tosu In the States themselves rather than in a national campaign.

Since ts noble leaders were arrested the . federation has teen en Us good behavior the invasion or Minnesota appears to have been bloodless thus far but the public kwew only too well what might be expected - once the noxious thing: felt free to resume former activities. Minnesotans were treated to no worse spectacles than rioting, the beating and general intim idation of unwilling miners by import ed federationsts, and threats against business men 1 who withheld their countenance. ; Yet those strange Min nesotans, half of whom are Scandi navians, objected seriously even to these very moderate proceedings. Fill ed with an antiquated notion that even labor unions are not above Jaw and order, good citens In all ; the towns affected are organizing to assist officers of the law In putting down violence. The New York, Evening Post makes this wondering comment: "Who can fait to rui his eyes as ho reads? These revolutionary Minnesotans ar upsetting com of our most firmly rolahlfHliikl uncial nnd nolitlcal nrinclnlea. They positively believe in work! And with an effrontery which we had fondly hoped that no good Americans would ever again display, they arraign the miners' union for breaking its contract. ; let the very children in our schools knew that it Is now well settled that culy employers aiM bound by a contract. These authorities in Mlnnosota--mayors and sheriff and the Governor must be an ignorant set. And that they are ab folutely crasy, politically, any public man, from Oyster Bay to San Francisco, could tell them. Why, Uiere are a many as 10,000 strikers. Most of them have votes. That oughfto.be decisive. And as for running a labor leader out of town, did these rash cltliens of Mlnne sota once stop to consider that the man might soon be invited to a luncheon at the White House? They did not know but that he might be filled with states manlike Meas, changes In the laws or the constitution, which would enable us all to live without working. Yet this embryo (Jumpers or Mitchell had to leave amidst general Jeers!" , The Minnesota situation Is Indeed strange too strange toy half to re peat Itself In succeeding years. Those benighted Swedes and Norwegians have yet to acquire the ftpirit of law lessness which curses this otherwise great country. They came Tiere because of the impulse which sends people from old and crowded countries to new and thinly settled ones, not because they sought homes in a land whore homi cides are fully twenty times as numer ous and other lawlessness la propor tionate. Yet, they were not deterred by this lawlessness, else they would have .gone to-Canada or Australia. Perhaps they; were Ignorant that such conditions prevailed In this country, but at any rate, once here, they seem bent upon making an oasis for them selves in the midst of general lawless ness. We can only feel ashamed of the contrast whVoh their conduct pre sents and entertain a feeble hope that their example may go a little way toward, leavening the lump. Governor Swanson and other Vir ginia1 officiate are now talking boldly enough, but their words would have a better sound ad they not sat on the fence while North Carolina bore the heat and burden of battle victorious battle alone.

Robert Aldrlch ran down here on Monday from his summer home at Saluda to drink this water for a couple of weeks as he does every summer. He was present at the habeas corpus hearing in the railroad cases before Judge Pritchard at Asheville. These cases Jbeing of much interest te South Carolina as well as North Carolina the correspondent of The News and Courier requested an interview from Colonel Aldrlch on the question for publication. Colonel AldrUh Is an able lawyer and his opinion will be read " with great interest. Colonel Aldrlch eald; "The conditions existing in our sis ter state of North Carolina, growing out of the recent railroad . rate law passed by the Legislature at its last session, and which went into effect on the first day of July, are unfortunate In several of ita aspects and not Justi fied 'by the circumstances . as ' they really exist. It 1a always a misfor tune and rarely ever Justlflab'e to force a State and its courts Into real or apparent conflict with the Jurisdic tion of the United gtates. The. two sovereignties, ''both supreme in their respective spheres, need never col lide. State. pride -need never toe wounded nor the dignity of the Stated ever compromised. - If the railroads in the present Instance are really injur ed In any of those rights which the constitution and laws of the United States are made to protect, a. resort to the United States Court for their protection Is no offence to the State of North Carolina. The constitution and laws of the United States - were mad by North Carolina and her elster States in convention nd - Congress and could never have had any force or effect in North Carolina, except toy her consent and the United States Court fitting in North Carolina la in theory and in fact a court of North Carolina and therefore, all 'that has been aald and written calculated to create the Impression that the laws and authority of North Carolina have heen offended, is unfortunate and un justifiable a well as injurious to the State and the country at large. "I had the good fortune to be pres ent at the argument of this cause before Judge Pritchard In Asheville, and was struck with the great argu ment of Judge Merriman on the part of the State, It was complete and unanswerable on the point that there could be no inteaference on the part of the United States Court with the administration of a State law in the State court by habeas corpus. This was practically conceded by Mr. Al fred P. Thorn, the general counsel of the Southern Railway Company, ex cept for the flact that there was a suit pending in the United States Court in volving the subject matter of the con troversy in which a temporary injunc tion had ifeeen issued toy Judge Pritch ard -restraining the operation of the State statute until such time as its validity could be Inquired into by the orderly methods of the law. For these Indictments to have been brought and these convictions "had, and these sentences imposed in ob vious violation of that injunction or der, was a setting at defiance (by the authorities of the State, the Jurisdic tion and authority of the United States Court, and that court was obliged to uphold Its Jurisdiction and enforce it order or simply go out of business. "Certain rights ' are 1 guaranteed to the citizen of the United States by the constitution of the United states, among which are the equal protection of the law, the taking of private property for public uses without Just compensation, the right to be released from illegal arrest and Imprisonment, and certain processes aee recognized by the constitution as affording relief, among which lg this great writ of right, and It does not follow by any means that every one who Invokes protection does so in a sound tause, but he must have the opportunity to show whether or not he has a good cause, and until he haa had his day In eotfpt and the question tried It can not be known whether hWas a Just cause or not. 'The decision of Judge Pritchard is not only sound in law, I view it, but it la dignified, considerate and breathing that wplrlt of comity which should at all times prevail between the courts and magistrates of the State and Federal Courts. The posi tion aumed by the Governor of North Carolina since Judge Prltch ard's decision of carrying the cases forward on appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and there hfwlrur the nuestlon at issue finally de elded. b very highly to be commended and in striking contrast to the attl tude he assumed prior to the decision of the Circuit Court of the United Ktates. "It imuft not be overlooked that the authority of the United States Court, now invoked by the railroads for their protection, has but recently been signally employed for the pro tection of the people against the rail road. The wheel of fortune Is con stantly in revolution, the side which la up to-day may be down to-morrow, and while ft Is natural for people to complain when they are on the under wide, they had better cnaure tt witn Calmness, an n may urum mum iw the top at the next turn."

This has been a moat successful session In every respect and especial interest has been taken In missions and Sunday schools, It is belevod that the entire mission asaettsment will be raised In full. The entertanment given the delegates and visitors by the people of Balm Grove church has been all that could be desired. AH visitors ho attended the Sun day school yesterday were highly pleaded. This is one of the 'best in the conference, nishop Atkins claims that it Is one of the beat country scnoois in southern Methodism. At U o'clock Rev. C. F.

The following resolution of appreciation was unan imously adopted by the conference: "Rev. c, F.

Char'.- ' '1 ; -a at; I Couiltr. To the i: : r of Tlia News and Courier: Itc-cnt exception tdX'ii and entered cn.the record becomts the basis of securing future Judgment in the progress of law suits. Simi larly, it seems In order occasionally to renew statements of truth long suppressed or ignored. Already the North Carolina case has brought a recrudescence of nullifica tion arghment: and discussion. It makes so "much difference whose ox is gored, whose wiU la nullified. So much difference does It seem to make that, in this instance of nullifi cation, the opponents and critics in the very act of denouncing or belit tling South Carolina's rightful exer cise of the power of nullification, are betrayed themselves into wrongful ex ercise of the self-same pQwer. Some time ago I saw in the edi torial columns of a newspaper a stats ment to the effect that the South Car olina ordinance of 'nullification "did not nullify anything." I wrote to the paper, protesting against such a state ment and representing that there was a very different side and view of that atory, which should fn falrnesa receive equal hearing and consideration. I do not think the paper published my communication. To aupppesa free and fair discussion, to take advantage of what may seem at the time to be security of position to claim and as sert one side and refuse hearing to the. other, what is this but palpable, obvious, dangerous exercise of the power of nullification? One of the points which I wish here to make la somewhat to this effect. It has been my observation that the critics and opponents of South Caro-J una nmuncation are apt to noia to that shade of opinion that nullifica tion is gone and settled, a dead Issue, deep in the irrevocable past, and that sort of thing. They seldom omit to represent that it Is dead: More than this. They usually display some vig or of expression, there is usually a certain warmth noticeable, diffusing a glow through the forms and phrase ology adopted. . Now, if a thing is dead, why repeat so often that it is dead,, and what reason, can be assign ed for display and betrayal of emotion in such a case? To assert, with damnable Iteration, that nullification Is dead, to display warmth, and emotion in the iteration, to suppress and refuse a hearing: to any meeJc or feeable asseveration, even, that perhaps it is not quite wholly dead, what can philosophy make out of such a set of facts? why detonations from so many and such imposing large bore editorial and historical batteries, all directed to the mortification and death of that which is already dead? ' 1 I respectfully submit that in our American polity the question, What la the Constitution? What is constitu tional? is always important, always alive, ever recurring. Who is to an swer this question, who Is to be the Judge of it, is the most vital, the most difficult problem of our system of laiw. Til be Judge, I'll be Jury,M Said cunning old Fury. "I'll try the -whole cause And condemn you to death." Some such sentiment perhaps might be appropriate as a motto. For whatever individual , or tribunal un der the American eystem might be vested with the final exclusive power of deciding what Is constitutional and whit is unconstitutional. ; Mr. Madison, in his celebrated report, ar gued, I think, to the effect that if the Judgment of the Federal government or of any of its departments, was al lowed to be final in the matter, that uch Judgment would thenceforward become the measure of constitutional power and not the constitution. If I have the right of Judging and decid ing how much money yon should be paid for your work my Judgment is the measure of your wages and not the justice of the matter. Whoever decides this question what is constitutional nullifies the Judgment and opinion of all other parties. If the Federal government thinks some act la constitutional and some State think the act la unconstitutional, whoever makes good nullifies the oth er, unless Indeed, toy rare' good for tune, 4here Is equality of nullification on bsth sides, and both are forced to do right. But the important point here is that somebody is nulli fying somebody, any way the thing is arranged. If exclusive right of Judg ing what, is constitutional rests with the State, the state nullWes the Fed eral power. If the - Federal power, through any of its departments, in cludes this exclusive 'right of Judging what is constitutional, then It seems to roe te Federal power nullifies wholly the rights and powers of the States. Now In such a view It might be argued that the Federal govern ment, by Its officer and administra tors,4 has been nullifying the constltu tlon for 60 years or more. Here is nullification In heaps and bulks. Yet it goes almost unnoticed, and on the other hand the little temporary amount of South Carolina nullification on the ether side still continues the efciect of more than occasional rhet oi leal bombardment ejid attack. As bstwen two, say Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the thing might be ummea up tnus: If y Will prevails over vmtr. I decide I nullify you.' That is liber ty, lasv, progress and dvllljatlon. "If you nullify me, that is ajiarchy, rebellion, treason. "It is Wicked to diMOHNM tra Therefore. If you nm nullification. I will nullify even your effort to name 'A. hut ott debate.

Mr, ; Ashley Home for In dustrial Governor. ' To the Editor: One sees from the newspapers that the GovernorshiD o North Carolina is again, though early, in growing dis cussion. The State Is fortunate in its pres ent Incumbent. I haVe heard tlia raises sounded from South Carolina to Virginia. Over a march larger area has his good name gone. In some re spects Governor Glenn has, perhaps, not a superior in the chief executive of any State of the Republic. He is a man of noble parts, clear-cut In his convictions, boldly on the side of what he believes right, able to teach a Bible class, preach a sermon, make a great speech and tell the foes of righteous ness what he thinks of them. He la loyal to his political party, devoted to all the advancements of the interests of the State, beautiful In his home life, and ever the genial, consistent Christian gentleman. Fortunate is the Commonweath that has such a man in its highest place of honor and re sponsibility. But according to the terms of the constitution when Governor Glenn has finished his term of office a new incum bent must be chosen to occupy his chair. What manner of man should the next Governor be? Ail things considered what ought to be the dom inant element of the succeeding ad ministration? ' - , After the splendid work done In the uplifting of the educational stand ard of North Carolina by the wise, ac complished and eloquent Governor Aycock: and after what Governor Glenn is now doing, the worthy sue- cessor of such men as these, need not be, as they are, a college graduate. an able lawyer, and of eloquent speech; oa ne snoiua te a man of consummate business ability. It is the one thing needed (Tor the future of North Carolina, namely, Governors who ehall be masters of economics men practically knowing how to lead the people Jn the develop ment of their own material resources; that is, how to iproduce, preserve and distribute the State's largest possible wealth. The oducatlonal and ethical welfare of the people must of necessity be pro moted; for without intelligence and character all hope must be abandoned. But so far as the State is concerned, these should be means to an end an end that would liift North Carolina out of her material Infancy, Into ac tual manhood. The State Is great in territory 60,000 square miles of land the bulk of it largely non-productive; with a handful of population less than 40 people to the square mile. It is a matter of public talk by the press of the nation, the growing pros perity of the South. For example, the Southern cotton milts, in the last ten years have increased their output from $40,000,000 to 1100.000,000. In the general advance North Carolina stands well In the front But its possibilities are in the future, and the realizing of them is purely a business question. That is the work of the government of North Carolina, If there is to be true normal development of farm, fatf. tory, mill, merchandise, and -all re sources, must foe the conduct of busi ness on a very large scale. Who, therefore, should lb the next Governor of North Carolina? I ans wer, that splendidly-equipped business msn, Mr. Asniey Home, of Johnston county. Mr. Home hae achieved a fortune out of his farms, his cotton mills and his country store. In practical eco nomics, he la one of the foremost men ef North Carolina and of the South. He has in fovty years demonstrated what practical, thorough-going busi ness prinopllos, when applied to the fawn, mill and store, can produce.
