TO PKOTTXT THE CHILD RKX. The Charlotte public. 'ami special ly the parent of children attending the public schools, IU be much In terested In the communication, pub lished in thin paper; by Mr. D. B. 6mith. a member of the school board. In which i embodied a letter to him from Chief Orr, of tho fire depart ment. The chief, at the request of Mr. Bmlth, ha made a special ex amination of the principal public tchool buildings', with reference to fire protection and recommends that all outside doors bo hung so a to swing outward and all Inside and connecting doors to swing both ways; that furnaces, boilers and steam pipes and wood-work near them and also wooden, walls of furnace rooms r covered with asbestos and that a heating: system be substituted in the South school for the many stoves now In use there. All these sugges tions are practical. Whether of not they go far enough may be open to question though Chief Orr thinks that their adoption would render the school buildings reasonably safe from Are. There Is comfort In Mr. Smith's statement that the mayor will be re quested to call an early meeting of the scnooi ooard ror action upon inn recommendations, because steps for safe-guarding the school children cannot bo too promptly taken.' ' We note once omission In . Chief Orr's report he did not recommend fire escapes for the public school buildings. Jt occurs to us that these are ltal. It mstters little that Char lotte's school structures are not sky scrapersthe Lake view school, where 174 little ones Inst their lives last week, was a small, two-story build ing. Fifes may occur despite every precaution to prevent them, and When they do some other method of egress than one or more stairways must be afforded fear-stricken chil dren. Let us hope the school com missioners will see fit to so equip our public schools. DAXfiF.K OF PARTY KXTLVCTIOV. It will be recalled that one of tho planks In the Ohio Republican plat form," adopted last week, favored a reduction In the congressional repre sentation of such States as have disfranchised the. Ignorant negro. Wa are reminded that when tho Ohio Republican convention of 1903 adopt ed such a plank Mark Hanna ad mitted that It was dona In order to hold th negro vote of the State; and the declaration of last week was made presumptively for the .same purpose, there being more reason for It now, by reason of more or less ne gro defection on account of Fora ker'g Brownsville activity, than there was five years ago. But there Is an other and more serious consideration wnicn in sew lorn wona suggests by th . reminder that the national Republican convention has twice gone on record In favor of this re duction. "Some day," The World mains Impotent a Republican Presi dent and a Republican Congress will make tbls reduction an accomplished fact" "Thanks to Bryanism," it con- imueo, ,-cw jura iiy in inn only Democratic stronghold left In the North, and even her Democratic ma jorities are dwindling. Excluding the representation from this city there ,ro 0017 uniny-einni ajemocrats in both houses of Congress from all the Northern and Western States. The , Republican Inaslon of the border States is begun, and If the blight of Krynlm continues the South will bo left alone to fig tit its political bat- ties." , , - The reduction of the fiouth's rep resentation In Congress would be fol lowed, a a matter of course, by a corresponding reduction of Its voting 'strength In the electoral college, and It Is as clear a the light of day that If it and the country persist in their Bryan Idolatry It will soon find Itself without any friends at all to rpvak sf In PnnfrTM 1 , 1 m .. - t . a.. - that, exclusive of those from New Tork City, It has only thirty-eight now. If through the execution of the Republican threat It should lose a- proportion of Its present strength la that body and In the electoral col leg and the Democratic strength !n other section should continue to de cline, . as Is .seen. "the party would eoen cease t be except as a mem-cry- H is time for the application of com.v.cn eerie to the situation. " THE SOCTH CAROLINA MCTDLE . We" pretend to' no understanding of all the Ins and outs of the legal complications which, have grown out of fho settlement of .'the affairs of the late State dispensary - of - South Carolina but can understand the com mon sense of some ' of the proposi tions Involved. For instance, a non resident holding a claim against a citizen of a State, may sue on It In a United States Court, though an Indi vidual may not sue a State only an other State can do that. But South Carolina did not buy and sell liquor In the exercise, of any attrlbuU of sovereignty but established a com mission to do that and did not carry the funds as a part of the State Treasury account. The purchase and sale of liquor was not exercised as a State function per se, but these trans actions were by the dispensary com mission which. If we understand, turned over to the State Treasurer the Bute's share of the profits. So, then, when outside creditors applied to Judge Prltchard for Intervention In the collection of their claims. he took Jurisdiction and appointed re ceiver There Is now a great hub bub about State's rights and violent and ailly-things are being said about Judge Prltchard, especially by an At lanta lawyer of the name of Felder, who has some sort of connection with the matter, and by the State's Attor ney General. But Inasmuch as two of the three receivers are members of the dispensary commission and the third a distinguished lawyer of Greenville, all three Democrats, It looks as If there is tittle danger after all of the world's coming to an end right awsy. This proposition of The Charleston Xews and Courier Is also understandable, even by an outsider: "W nre areat stickler for the rights of the State acting within their consti tutional powers, but we weaken Just a little bit In our loyalty f this funda mental principle of Demoerstlo govern ment when we sr called upon to defend the State In Its ranncitr as a dealer in whiskey, not In the exercise of Its police powers, but for the profits it could make out of the business." XO MORIS HAXGIXO IX VIRGINIA The bill substituting electrocution for hanging and providing that all future executions shall be conducted at the State penitentiary has passed both houses of tho Virginia Legisla ture and only awaits Governor Swan son's signature. A special provision Is that no t details, of. tho criminal's death can be furnished to newspa pers. Henceforth the horrors some times attending the inexperienced ef forts of sheriffs at county seats will belong to tho past. No longer will the opportunity to cut a dramatic figure on the scaffold, an opportunity which deprives the death penalty of much of Its deterrent effect upon some negro criminals, exist In Vir ginia. About the only adverse argu ment and this possesses little valid itywas that the execution ; would lose much of Its value as a warning if not held at the place of the crime. An amendment ' provides that bodies shall be returned to relatives upon their application and the payment of transportation costs. The act as a whole Is closely In line with the ten dencies of the age, and we have lit tle doubt that North Carolina will be one-of the next States to go and do likewise. Mr. Bryan's Omaha platform Is differently viewed by- the press, ac cording to the standpoint of the pa per. It I generally regarded as a forecast of the Denver platform, as Is the Taft Ohio platform of that of Chicago. The Washington Post draws a close analogy between the Omaha and Columbus -deliverances and draws tho conclusion: "The cam paign next summer evidently will bo ono of men, and not of policies, If the Ohio and tho Nebraska platforms are faithful harbingers, any Repub lican nominated could stand without difficulty on the Democratic plat form, and vice versa. Since Mr. Bry an has tried twice to draw votes from the opposition, and failed, there Is no reason to suppose that he will accomplish the feat, next fall." Still. Democrats who feel that they will havo to vote for him will bo comforted with tho thought that they will vote for 1 to 1, government ownership, the Initiative and refer endum and all such, only as Incar nated In the candidate not-as writ ten In the platform. The election of Mr. Frank B. Gary to the unexpired term of the late Senator Latimer, of Smith Carolina, seems to be variously regarded In that Stute. To. quote only three pa pers, The Charleston Post says he Is "a man of ability and character;" The Columbia State, that "there Is no reason to believe that the action of the Legislature Is popular;" The Anderson Mall, that "It Is a thing to be ashamed of." But anyhow. It is not for long. It was a matter of course that the fearful calamity at Colllnwood, O., should give th head line artists an opening. Besides typographical atro cities galore, we find such ancient friends as "holocaust" and "caught like rat In a trap" disporting them selves for all th world like new. Surely there should be some society for the prevention of cruelty to al ready over-worked expressions. Japan Is threatening war upon poor, helpless old China, which will no doubt avert It by an abject apolo gy, whether an apology la due . from her or not. Nearly bankrupt as Ja pan Is, she can Bet trained squadrons In the field. Is furnished with first Class fighting ships and capable sail ors to rhsn thm, and Is skilled In the srts of war. For her to make a quarrel -with China would be as If a grown man should attack a child. We could bet that at leasf half the Northern press have presented South Carolina's nwSenator to their read ers Mr. "GrVy.T ' CHIXA, GEB3IAXT AXD AMERICA, . AGAIXST JAPAN- ' There Is apparently no room ' for doubt that the United States govern ment fully intends, as recently re ported, to make a formal protest against Japanese encroachments and usurpations In Manchuria. This pro test will presumably take tho form of a circular note to the powers and have as Its basis the complaints of American textile manufacturers against the serious blow which has been Inflicted upon their trade by Japanese administration of the Man- churlan railroads. It la probable that the note will also take Russia to task for similar conduct n northern Manchuria; Including her more by way of company for Japan than be cause her alleged misdeeds have oc casioned substantial grievances.. The most interesting fact In connection with the whole matter is that our government's intended action has been directly inspired by China. About a week ago the Chinese minis ter at Berlin laid before the German Foreign Office representations re garding Japanese policies In Man churia and suggested that the United States and Germany enter Into a spe cial agreement for the maintenance of equal trade opportunities in all Chinese territory- England. ' being Japan's ally, wa not approached. It does not yet appear whether Germany will Join the United States in formal protest, but her Influence can safely be relied upon. Our old friend Mr. Wu, the newly re-appointed Chinese minister to the United States, is ex pected to deliver an important diplo mafic message on the subject shortly. Under .these circumstances it should be easy to frame a protest which Japan could hardly put aside with po lite assurances and at the same time to avoid giving the Jingoes any ex cuse for renewed activity. What are Mr. Willie Hearst and his Independence League going to do this year? This is a question of growing interest, especially as af fecting New York. Mr. Hearst's principal paper and the principal or gan of the League tells in an article which is printed in another column three thlntrs that they are not going to do and one that they are: They will not endorse for President Mr. Roose velt. Mr. Bryan or Governor John son, but will nominate a candidate out of the League's own ranks. Who? Presumably Hearst himself. These announcements are more important than It is agreeable to admit, for while Hearst and his League cannot elect anybody there are several peo ple whom they are strong enough to defeat. If Mr. Bryan had lacked no more of uttering wisdom in the Nebraska Democratic platform than In his con vention address party prospects would be decidedly brighter. But then Mr. Bryan undergoes queer changes in hi mental .states almost a Democrat one day and more Pop ullstlc than any avowed Populist the next. TUB CITY TO TAKE PRFjCAUTION. Chief Orr Examines School Bulldlne and Make 1re Inspection Board of School (mml-wl oners to B Called to Take Action on nis Re ommendat low. To the Editor of The Observer: Tho burning of a larje number of public- school children In an Ohio city has shocked the feelings of the people, and has not failed to Impress upon school authorities everywhere the need for extra precaution against fire In our public school buildings. I have read your timely editorials upon this subject. anJ, for the Infor mation of yourself and other cltlrens, It may be proper for me to say that Chief W. 8. Orr, of the city nre de partment, has made a special exam ination of our principal school build ings with a view of recommending such changes and Improvements as will make the same absolutely safe. I am to-day In receipt of the following letter from Chfef Orr, which I will thank you to print for the informa tion of the patrons of our schools: Charlotte, March 7th, 1108. Mr. D. B. Smith, Member school Board. Charlotte, N. C. Dear Sir: At your request I have made a rpeclal examination of the principal public school buildings of th city with a view of rendering them more secure from fire and have the following recommenJations to make; That all outside door be hung so as to open outward, which is not the case at present; and that all lnlde and connecting doors be hung so as ti swing both way. I also advise that all furnaces, boilers and te-am pHe leading therefrom be covered with ashestoa, and that all wood work be carefully protected from the same; and that any wooden wails of fur nee rooms be lined with abestjs in order to render the same as nearly fireproof as possible. The Installa tion of a heating system In the old school in the place of the large num ber of stove now in ue there would greatly lessen the danger from fire In that bulldln. and I recommend that th same be Installed If possible. With tb change msda which I have here suggested I believe your school building wou'd be reasonably safe from all fire damage. I understand that you have fre quent fir drills In the schools and I tron,flr wrge the continuation of the same, and careful lntructlon to th children In regard to what they should do In cje of fire. Yours very trmr, W. S. ORR. Chief City Fire Department. It Is only necessary for me to ad J here that the mayor of the city will be requested to call a special meeting of the board of school commissioner st an early dste to take action upon the recommendations of the fire chief.

Osborn, of Greensboro, better known in the early . days of Durham as "Bill" Osborn. was in the cuty yesterday shaking hands with his numerous friends. CoL Osborn lived In Durham from 1ST to 1193 and no one enjoy bis trips to Durham more than he himself. A reporter dropped in on him and listened to him talk about matters of business and politics generally. He asked Col. Osborn ' what be thought of the gubernatorial situation. "Well." he said, "it is too earlv to telL We have three candidates who are very popular men and I do not believe any on can tell Just now who will win the race. - Mr. Kltchin will carry Guilford county, but both Craig and Horn will get a- good many votes there." - "What about th congressional race, colonel?" "That Is as uncertain as the guber natorial race.

Mr. Reid will go there with Rocking ham, General Royster with Granville and Brooks and Holt with GullforJ. I believe the balance of the counties will be so divided that it is going to be a hard contest." Colonel Osborn smiled and said: "Prof. Holt is very strong in Guilford and in other counties of the district and he win run tho balance of them to the throat latch it he does not de feat them. "Prof. Holt wa born and reared in Guilford and has built up one ef the most prosperous ' educational Institutions-in the South.

In speaking of the financial con dition of the country Colonel Os born said that he believes that thing are gradually getting better; that th farmers are getting a good price for their tobacco and cotton and tor everything els they raise. THE CASE OF DR. NEYMAX. i An Autobiography of Lehmanowsky In Existence, Though Dr. Weston Perhaps Never Saw It To the Editor of The Observer: , I notice in The Observer of 'this morning your very interesting article on the subject of old Doctor Ney man's claims. In It is a reference to Colonel Lehmanowsky.v- J have con cluded that you were not aware of the existence of the autobiography of Lehmanowsky, who was' colonel of the Tenth Polish Lancers under Ney and emigrated to this country after the battle of Waterloo. If I am right In this inference, I think that this book would be of great interest to you and extracts from it would prove highly interesting to your readers. When Dr. Weston died I am satisfied that this book bad not been brought to hla attention. Lehmanowsky came to this country, settled in th middle West and became well known In In diana, Ohio and adjolalng States. I suppose hla book must have been written about I860. He Bays that he had not heard of the i tory of Marshal Ney, until the latter heard of hint and came to visit him, coming as one from the dead, and , confiding his story to him. I have never seen any writing that bore more the earmarks of truth and sincerity, and If you have not seen it get St and read it Dr. Burnhelm, a Lutheran minister, now living In Charlotte, owns the copy which I read, and it he does not ftow have It he can fc'ive the address of the publishers. If you have information of this very Interesting book already, why, no harm has been done by my call ing attention to it. " R. F. BEASLEY. . Monroe, March 7th. , Dr. Neyman Wrote Many Letters to Dr. Weston. ' To the Editor of The Observer: - I read your article on Dr. E. M. C. Neyman In to-day's Observer. Dur ing the latter years of Rev. James A. Weston's life he made two or three visits to see this Dr. Neyman, and he told me that he was :t a loss to know what to believe about him, but that the doctor told him he had some pa pers that he . would will to him, and that he wanted them published after his death. In settling up Mr. Wes ton's estate, I found quite a lot of letters from Dr. Neyman to Mr. Wes ton, but never read any of them; they are still in Mr, Weston's effects, as his personal property has not been sold. Mr. Weston tried to get these papers to publish along with his book, but failed. , I thought I'd let vou know the above facta, as they might lead to some discovery in the matr FRANK A.
