The railroads of this section have Jon tried the patience of some of their best friend very sorely by practicing the rankest and most in. excusable favoritism in freight rates as among different citlt and States, heavily oppressing all North Carolina through such discrimination, but at least theo practice were believed to top Bhort of according certain Indi vidual 6hlppra an advantage over their fellows. In other words, the rebate system, necessarily secret be cause of the clamor it raises on the very pot when known, was supposed to be almost or quite non-existent. Vet conclusive evidence has been ad duced to show that at least one large Richmond shipper has been obtain ing unduly low rates from the Sea board Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, not through any giiilty intention on the part of these roads but through complicity with the Chesapeake & Ohio. False waybills, by means of which grain shipments really originating at Richmond were turned over to the other roads as re- - consignments from Virginia valley points and' "consequently forwardable into-r the Carolina at lower rate than local traffic, was the device em ployed in defrauding the railroad companies directly and competing shippers indirectly. It is estimated that the" Seaboard and Coast Line were under-paid about $430 a month on this shipper's business,' all of which from west '6f Richmond, need lens to say, was obtained by the Chesapeake & Ohio. The method had the advantage of being rather less shameless than that of twelve years and -more ago, when, rebate were paid - in cash, but result from the favored shipper's standpoint were substantially the same. Names 7 II. O. Gates, an employe of W. R. John ston & Company, made the arrange ment for hi concern with .-Assistant General Freight Agent Alex. P. OI1 bert, of ,the Chesapeake A Ohio. Gate 'ha secured immunity from prosecution by making a clean breast of the affair. !i is a councilman of Richmond-and The Richmond Times Dispatch strongly Intimate that Ms ' resignation should be forthcoming. These) facta are substantially what was developed at a recent hearing before Inter-State Commerce Com missioner Lane, but It Is believed that other shippers may become Implicat ed later en. Mr, Lane having finish ed his Investigation' we await such further developments as prosecutions .In the Federal courts may bring. Though the Elklns anti-rebate act and similar legislation have been lit force for years, practices like those Just detailed. .are, atill . uncovered from time to time, jn the Mouth, where most conspicuously exist the open abuses at which the Hepburn rate regulation act Is aimed with such limited effectiveness as Senator Aid rich would permit, an aggravated caso of secret rebating has now been brought to light. Jir the light of revelations like these It seems to us mort wonderful that there should ex ist In the Fnitcd Ptatca to-day any people who oppose the exercise of supervision and reasonable control over public service corporations which not only possess the power of killing or making alive whole cities and conserving or debauching general. Dimmers morals nut nave shown themselves prone to nbuse that power even 'under fairly close oversight. What abuses, open and secret, they perpetrated when left entirely to their own devices let the early his tory of the Standard Oil Company nd many another trust bear wit ness. Kmall competitors have been crushed by xhousanda through cor rupt relations between great shippers and railroads both before, and after the period of attempted regulation Uran. Here are permanent condl-' lion where the temptation on each side Is immense and where the moral downfall of one railroad puts almowt Irresistible pressure upon the moral ity of another railroad: for in this manner of warfare unfair methods can be met only by unfair methods. J The problem. In short. Is to prevent th survival of the most unmrupu lous among both railroads and ship per by decreeing that iinscrupuloun nes shall be brought into court and punished. 80 important i this prob. Jem that if It had received no atten tion from makers or ministers of the Uw until now the whol. business community must have become Infect ed with rottenness. There are yet other and broader ground upon which reasonable public supervision ever railroads Is unshakably iased. With those who persist In regarding thl policy, as mere meddlesomeness we have very little more patience than with those who from reckless ness, self-seeking or ' vindictive ness would cripple the thief agencies of Bute and national prosperity and so render futile the many bira aspira tions which that prosperity alone can make effective. The Chesapeake Ohio I evident ly a thrifty corporation. It secured a large shipper' exclusive business la it territory by giving rebate at the expense of other railroads. To Col. Thos. R.

Hearst's Independence League, which baa branches in many States, Is to hold a national conven tion, organise a new national party and put out a' ticket If the Demo cratic party were not foredoomed this would be bad news to It, for off it will come the bulk of the vote which the new party candidates will receive, and they will be not a, few, for Hearst 1 a man of strength, aa was demonstrated by the vote be re- ceived In the State of ?w York at the last gubernatorial election, and the alleged "principle" for which he stands have large and Increasing strength, especially In the Cities. He thus defines hi platform: ' The first nurpose of our platform I to restore the power of government to the people, to make their will supreme in the primaries, in the elections, and in the control of public officials after they have been elected. "Our second purpose Is to destroy the power of selfish special interests by wresting from their hands their main weapon, the corruption fund, and by pre venting absolutely the uoe of any money at elections except for literature. for meeting, and for legitimate appeals to the Intelligence and patriojism of the voter. "Our third purpose Is to correct some of the obvious financial and economic evils of the day. to promote not only the creation of wealth, but a more just and equable distribution of wealth, and to prevent the interruption of the mighty march of national progress and prosper ifu v h ertmtnnl methods of the hlgh- Iwsvmen -of high finance. "Our fourth purpose is 10 uwme i-mum schemes of constructive legislation to de velop the resources of our great country, to Increase national and International facilities for trade and commerce, to re store confidence and employment, and to encourage all legitimate business enter prises." "To carry thee principle into practice," say The Washington Her ald, "the Independence Leaguer de mand two very radical change In the American political ystem. both of which directly traverse the main body of belief entertained by the leader of existing parties. The first of these Is the broad application of the initiative and referendum to na tlonal, State and municipal affair, and the second, the extension of the principle of public ownership of pub lic utllltle as rapWIy a our govern ment, municipal State and national, shall demonstrate their ability to conduct suoh enterprise for the pub lic benefit While tne 'platform standi for a number of other, thing that may be termed radical, most of the other proposition advanced In it have already been appropriated by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan, and they do not Involve any serious modi fication of our political or industrial system." This new force In politic. If It ma terialise, will not be on to bo de spised. The "Populist party and Mr. Bryan already Wave a large section of the people educated In the' initia tive and referendum and government ownership. It would appear, then, to be the proper thing for the Dem ocratic party fend the new Independ ence League party to strike hands at Denver. Mr. Bryan could not object to this and no one else has a right to. UOOX FOR MR. HARSHAW. Mr. M. N. Harshaw. representative of Valdwell county lo the Legislature and ft Republican politician of the eighth district with supposed aspira tions lo the Republican nomination for Congress this year, furnishes The Lenoir New with a copy of the for est reserve lull for which he lmd written to tho Secretary of Agrlclil turo. and bh In a communication to the editor of The News: "I do not see how, any one can oppose the bill Inasmuch ns It meap so much to our section of tho country." In view of the sentiment against this most meri torious measure which has been so Industriously worked up In the eighth district It I very much to the credit of Mr. Harshaw that Hie ha taken this manly and patriotic stand. Our Lenoir contemporary, asking Its readers to carefully study -the bill, observes; "We have read It and we cannot understand how any thinking man can oppose o beneficial and Im portant a measure." Nor can we. The bill confiscate no property but provides that all lands must be "ac quired by gift or purchase" with the free consent of the owners; and we all know that the government rarely ever buys anything without paying; two prices for It.

Observer Bureau, . . The Bovlll Building. Greensboro, Feb. 21. Among the visitor here to-day are Messrs. J. P. Cook and Walter Thompson, of : Concord, who are glying much of their time and at tention to the Stonewall Jackson Manual Training and Industrial School. Mr. Cook, who waa the first man In North Carolina to publicly advocate a reformatory for youthful criminals. Is chairman of the board of trustees, and Mr. Thompson, one of the best eq dipped practical educa tors in the State, is superintendent of the institution. . The school is. to be located at a point two and a half miles south of Concord, on the main line of the Southern Railway. The people of Concord donated 227 acre of land for the use of the Institution, and the site I said to be ideal in every respect. In the near future Chairman Cook will call the. board of trustee together to determine upon the preliminary plans, and during the summer one or more buildings will be erected. .The Institution will be opened early In the fall. . In response to a question from The Observer correspondent as to the attitude of the public toward trte Institution, Mr. Cook said: "During the past two months I have been from one end of the State to th other, and It is a fact that every day from six to a dozen people have asked me. questions in reference to the school. , I am grati fied to know that the people gener ally appreciate the value of such an institution to society and the State, By Its very nature the school will always stand aa a product of the benevolent spirit of North Carolina, and at the proper time those who are so Inclined will be given ah op- portunity-to-asslst the-cause-m a j substantial way.' PRESENT , FUNDS SUFFICIENT. Mr. Cook says the trustee have about $14,000 as a working basis, and this will be sufficient for present needs. Ot course,-after the school Is established much more money will be needed from time to time. ' " Superintendent Thompson ha Just returned from a tour of Inspection of similar Institutions In the North. He visited the reformatory of the District of Columbia, the Pennsyl vania school at Glen Mills, and the New York school at Dobbs Ferry. He spent some time at each of these Institutions, studying Us system and gaining much valuable Informa tion. The Pennsylvania school, which has been In existence for over 80 years and represents an Invest ment of more than $800,000, Is con ducted on the cottage system, and this plan will bo adopted by the North Carolina Institution. In speak ing of his visit Superintendent Thompson said: OTHER SCHOOLS VISITED. "A casual visitor to one of these schools sees nothing to Indicate that it is a reformatory, the idea of the management being to get as far away as . possible .from the appear ance of physical restraint. That this plan- works well is shown by tho fact thut desertions amount to practi cally nothing, as shown by actunl statistics. The average of escapes is less than the average desertions from our schools and colleges." "What about the boys after they leave the Institutions?" asked ' the correspondent. ' "Kach of the schools that I visited keeps an accurate record of all their Inmates,' both during the period of their sojourn In the school and after they are released and sent out Into the world," said Mr. Thompson. "Statistics that are unquestioned show that ' at leant $0 per cent, of these boys grow tip to become good and useful citizens. Thus It Is seen: that the value to the State of such 1 an Institution la Incalculable." "IVw will your schools bo recruited and what are your plan for handling! the boys while they are under your care? PLANS OF HANDLING BOTP. ! "Hoys between the ages of 9 and 16 years who may be, found guilty of Infractions of the law will be sent to us "by the municipal and Superior Courts or North Carolina, and when we get them our purpose will be to train thein-Jo become useful citizens. Our object t to -convert vagabonds Into producers of wealth, to take youths from the paths of crime and make of them uneful members of so ciety. Our Institution Is to be a nchool In fact as well aa name. I shall maintain my relation with the teach ing profession of the fctate and strive to give tho boys sent to use the right sort of mental training. The boy will be required to divide their time between the study of book and learn ing some useful trado. Messrs. Cook and Thompson are en thusiastic over the work into which they have entered With s much earnestness. They are firmly convinc ed that the Stonewall Jackson Msnual Training and Industrial School-Is to he a power for good In North Caro lina. Kx-Judge Thomas J.

To the lSdltor of The Observer: While reading The Observer this morning I was very much surprised to see that you had republished a production from my pen. I am very sorry you did o. Especially a a Joke, for that is what you did it for. You must bear in mind that what is written for a county paper will not alwavs do to republish In a State paper. If I had written It for a State paper, It would have been a very much different thing, but as I only wrote It for a county paper, and as It served Its purpose, I am very sorry you republished It. - I do not consider myself a poet of any class. Not even as high as to "hold fort" at the foot' of the class In which the dlstlnguiaed author of he following lines Is a prominent members of "I seen pa come stepping high Which was of his walk the way." " When you can't help a man up any do not push him down by any means. I do not mean that you have pushed me down, but you know sometime a Joke does a ' great deal more .harm than good. Furthermore, I do not mean to say that you lare due me an apology for republishing the produc tion from my pen, for I know you had the right, lo do so. I am only asking should, it ever happen again for you to see something from my pen please do not republish it a a Joke. I am sorry to say that The Ob server has a tendency to ridicule un fortunate members of the poetical world who do , not get .sufficient in spiration from the muse to produce a classical poem, although I am not "knocking" The Observer, ror l con sider myself a friend to the publica tion. 1 would walk a long ways to get to read It If it was essential to do so. You know that the uperlor sometimes make mistakes, and can be "called down" on It by th infer ior. So I take It upon myself this time to "call you down." .As I hap pen to be the unlucky person In this Instance who failed to produce a classical poem through . th want of help from the muse, it does not "'gree wld me apitlte" to have my "unlucky production" "ridiculed. What has been done cannot be al tered, but If you will comply witn my request, as far as I am concerned any wav. I will greatly appreciate the favor. However, it Is probable that I am mistaken that you repub lished the poem ss a Joke, but the "head line" you had "hung to It" suggested that you did so. If I am wrong, I humbly beg your pardon, and "let It go at that." JAM KS H.' WARBURTON. Rockingham. Feb. 24.th. Things That Joe King Thinks. Durham Herald.

A a former resident of Charlotte, I am anxlou that your reader be un deceived as to Mr. Lawrenx's re marks, which to anyone who ha read the newspaper In the last three year would seem to be a figment ot hi imagination. . He says, among a number of untrue thing, that- Mr. MacDowell died "forsaken by hi friend" and "In the "utmost poverty and misery " Ha he not read of the large fund raised by the Men delssohn Glee Club and the many MacDowell societies of this country, which ha been added to by the proceeds of concerts given for hi benefit both in this country and In Europe? The fund at the time of hi death had reached 138.000, .and through it Mr. MacDowetl wa cared for not only comfortably but with every luxury that his Invalidism called for. Since hi Illness he has spent hi winters In a delightful apartment at the Westminster Hotel In New York and hi Bummers at hi Charming summer nome in . Peter borough, New, Hampshire. There wa absolutely no material comfort which he lacked he had a private car In which to travel back ana forth, the most capable and devoted nurse to anticipate ill every desire, end the devotion and loyalty of un numbered ' friend and admirers. Their attention to him and to hi family have been constant and the one bright pat In their time of trial and grief. When Mr." - MacDowell wa first 111 one of his literary friends moved from his home to the West minster Hotel so that he would al ways be at hand when Mr. MacDow- j ell needed him. Another friend, one of the moat prominent men In New York, put hi carriage at the Inva lid' service. These things I men tion a example of the many beau tiful thing done for him by his friends. People came from far and wide to offer any and every service and every summer there were many pilgrimages to Peterborough by friends who longed to ee him once more even when he, alas! no longer recognized them. ' Individual sympathy for him and hi family was added to by the sym pathy of the press and the magazine writer, and wherever he was men tioned tribute wa always paid to the great love that he inspired as well a to hi wonderful genius. It seemed to me to be a great pity and a great shame that anything a beautiful a the love, tenderness and loyalty shown to Edward MacDowell by all pf his friends should have been 80 grossly maligned in a paper which la as widely read a The Charlotte Observer. I speak In loy alty to the MacDowell Society, of which I 'am a member, and in the Interest of your reader who I know want the truth. CARRIR GOLDBERG. 4(5 Central Park. West. New York. Feb. 24th.
