JTo abuse of an Inherent and absolute ly necessary right can Justify total deprivation. But it Is not the South ern Railway which has mont at Rtake In thig matter. If States ihave pownr, . y threats of outlawry, to enforce " boycotts of the United States courts the fat of those iiourts, from highest to. lowest, is easily foreseeable. No mean Would be lsft whereby contro versies between different States or citizens of states could be arbitrated. The Supreme Court of the United States itself, the greatest tribunal on earth and bearing to 44 limited sov ' erelgnties that relation of vrecognlzod arbitrator -which many tthinkers hope .will some day '-xist for independent nations at Th Hague, would be jronght to naught, it i clear enouffh that tlho American Union must go to! pieces if such a state of affairs we rt ; long tolerated.

"No State in the Urion during the entire exis tence of this nation," confidently asT SerU Tho Messenger, "had ft , finer judiciary than did North Carolina tip to the time of the, change by'constl tutlonal amendment In the .manner of choosing our judges." We quote at more length. "The charges made against the system of an Appointive JudiclRry are a r;ilee tion on such men ss Iredell, Kaywood, Henderson, Ruflin, Toomer, Nsrh, Man gum, Badger, Strang. Settle, Pearson, Battle.

On the contrary did not our State haw, as ft. rule, a tet ter judiciary then than we luve had Mnce' The claim that we can eet tend Jftipes only when they ere elected by the people Is a. plea of demagogues who play to th gallery for popular favor.

This popular election of Judges is one of th few innovations put upon our people by the Canby constitution which the Democrats have not, thrown off 1 ince coming into power, and tt should l ave tcto one of the first-repudiated." The Messenger reasons forcefully and with knowledge. During the gen erations clvered by the appointive system North Carolina's Judiciary dU her name an honor that extended be yond seas. It was really illustrious and every Intelligent North Carol linlan to-day feels a pride In It. But presto! enter the demagogical plea that judges must be elected by pop ular vote, and all is ohanged. From a well-maintained high level our ju diciary sinks to the commonplace and remains there. The presence of good and, able men on both the Supreme and Superior Court benches to-day only serve to modify the rule. He is a bold man who can say that popular election of Judges has vin dicated itself in North Carolina, fctate Sovereignty Instinct. Richmond News Leader. Comment by newspapers and public men throughout the country on the recent clah between North Carolina! and a United States circuit tourt illus trate vividly, and much to our com fort, the truth of th assertion we have thad frequent f-caslon to print thdt the instinct for State rigths and resentment of further aggressions by the general movement la about the strongest In the hearts of the Ameri can people. The case and the position of Gover nor Glenn, of North Carolina, are far from being perfect. His declarations of purpose and his acts .may be called Violent and jraturally incurred the disfavor of conservative and cautious people. Neverthless, we observe that the vast majority of the newspapers of all shades of political opinion every where In tho Union express strong sympathy with North Carolina. The general position seems to bo not that that. State was right but that the United tafUse court in undertaking to interfere wun state legislation and to nullify State laws summarily went t)o far and should be restrained. (lovernor llaniy, or Indiana, In a (pperh printed to-day, speaks out strongly for the .maintenance of the sovereignty of fthe States and for stern rebuke of any attempt bv the Federal government, even ihy Presi dent Roosevelt himself, to invade or impair that sovereignty.

Their tlm. Is oftentimes unnecessarily taken up by -would-ba contributors, ' In most casea it would be better II the contributor did not see the editor at all. His manuscript would receive more careful attention, because the editor would hava more time to give to it. There are many Instances, however, where it is profitable- to a contributor to see the editor. He receives sugges tions, Ideas, advice. It Is aiwaya profitable to contrib utor to see an editor. It ia almost a ioss to an editor to see a contributor a loss in time, in nervous energy. In view of these facts, -why not have It understood that editor throughout the country charge an offlCe fee when ever a contributor wishes to see them ? This will p.ut a atoy to all superfluous visits by would-be contributors to edi tors. As a rule, would-ba contributors are not overanxious to spend their money. When they have to pay for an editor' time, they will do so only in cases of necessity. If, for example, a contributor de clares that he wishes to see the edi tor on a matter of "utmost impor tance," he should be willing to back up his assertion with cash. This will at once place the whole matter on a business basis. When this Is done there will always be a small proportion of would-be contributors who are -willing to pay to see the editor. They will be sin cere, .because, when it comes to put ting one's hand in one's pocket, only those will l.o It who have a pretty strong conviction that they are going to get tt back. The following schedule of prices is suggesed: For submitting a manuscript in person, not to take over nve minutes of the editor's time $ 2 For an interview lasting fifteen , minutes .. s 00 00 fFor reading a poem, In addition (not over fifteen minutes) .. 25 00 All lady contributors, Jl.OO a minute extra ; No Interview to last over fifteen minutes. There are about flve thousand edi tors In the country who are constant ly trying to avoid being Interviewed by -would. be contributors. Say they are visited by would-be contributors one hour a day for five days In the week. This would be on the average of about ? 500,000 a week an enornvr ous Income, almost sufficient to turn a presidential election. What shall be done with this money? Many .ways suggest themselves Some of It might easily be set aside for the support of broken-down liter ati. Perhaps, however, the best way the money could be wed would be to create a fund for all persons who wish to become writers, to prevent them from doing It by contributing to their support. Telephone to Mexitw. Mexican Herald. Within the next six weeks the Mexican r-eniral will have another copper tele graph and telephone wire stretched be tween Agu.isenlletites and this city..

We hope there w no foundation for this report. ut should tne seaboard order a dls continuance n( the morning train the management will have a fight of very large proportions on Ms bands. Nel tner tne people or Wilmington nor those on the line of the Carolina Cen tral are willing to go back to the an liquated schedule.

Playing Cards From Austria, London Globe. It is a curious Instance of the way n wnicn particular industries settle In paracnla pots without any oartic ular reason tnat. Austria should have beome tho centro of the manufacture of playing cards for almost the whole world. Each large cafe In Vienna will con sume about 600 pack a year, and In Austria there were sold during 1908 about two million packs, all of home manufacture. The export trade still larger, especially to Asia and North Africa, In which Austrian cards .appear to enjoy a virtual monopoly, They range from Turkey to India. Last year 2,500,000 packs were sent out, and tne' government duty amount ed to 660,000 crowns. Saving Fhrthrr Trouble. InJlanapolls Star.

A record of the number of arrests and assists at ar rests made by each officer was read.

But Merely a Change of Kuergy. North American Review. ; ? What we call death, ia not annihila tion, it is only a change of energy, Decay ia simply the hreaking up of life into new and more multiplied forms, of life. 1 The i lateat ; science recoghlaes at least nine different forms of energy Into hich a single force may ass and repass without diminution or loss. That of course is the great discovery of modern science, that energy may be .'transformed from one form into another, but cannot be destroyed. -Not immediately was the bearing of thla scientific law on the 'doctrine ..of Immortality -recognized. ' And yet,, as the mind adjusted Itself to the almost protean forma of energy. It.. 'became apparent that life itself which la the highest form of energy we know, must Inevitably become subject to this law. 1 i ' ' i , - . Death, when It touches a human life, is not destruction of energy, It is simply a change through which life passes into some hew form of activity. Your candle, for instance, burns down to the socket, and after a flicker or two goes out To the eye of sense that is the end of your candle, and It has been used over and over again as the image of death. s But according to the law of the conserva tion of energy the light and heat of that candle are not lost. " They have passed into ether forms of energy more subtle, but not less real. A log is alowlv consumed unon the hearth untlj pothlng remain but a heap of filmy ash, but the light tand energies of that log are not lost. r-. The life which was In the tree deposited In that log certain forces, and the fire hag liberated these forces in oth er modes of activity; . The whole universe is a vast area of ceaseless, Indestructible energy of which life ia the highest type. within the last half aoxen years science has emphasized still another fact, namely, that the mora powerful a force is the less visible it Is to hu man sight, the less susceptible of rec ognition. The energy of radium, for example, is so tremendous that the hundredth part of a grain of radium dropped into 1U own weight of water will chango the temperature of that water from the freealng point to the boiling .point In a single hour. It is of course admitted that this does not prove the immortality of the Individual soul by any means, but It does prove the Indestructibility of life. Religion a surely gained a magnificent trophy from science when science tells her that life la an inde structlble element In the universe. .
