TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1908. the sornrs obloquy. The yew York Evening Post Is au thority for the rtatement that the "trowing disorder" In this section la one among other reasons "why the Italian and Austrian government are advising their citizen to ettle any where In America ' except in the South." We are well aware that it will be said at once by ome of those who read this that the South will not be the loser If the advice Is taken by some of the subject of the gov ernment of Italy, the turbulent and murderous Italian element of the cltie being unjustly regarded a rep resentatives of all the people of that nationality; but not stopping to ar gue about that, the South may see from thl item of information what impression Its lynchers and night riders and murderers have made upon the government of two foreign countries and may well auk if. the same impression has not been made, in greater, or less degree, upon , the governments and people of other - foreign countries. The answer would naturally be in the affirmative, the more readily so because we all know that the opinion that the South la lawless and unsafe is largely preva lent even in other sections of our own country. That it is cruelly un just does not alter the fact of it ex istence; that there Is any basis at all for it Is to our shame. That it is damaging In high degree' to the sec tion doe not admit of a doubt, but we will suffer under this reputation until our lyncher are restrained, night riders suppressed and murder ers hanged. The responsibility for the better regulation of society is upon the law-abiding. The duty of this clan is clear. reoulatixo tukm to ikatii. It would aeem that a man of aver age good sense, having money to in vest, would about as lief have any thing else as a railroad Investment. Here we have the general superin tendent of the Seaboard Air Line ap plying to the corporation commission for permission to discontinue what is known as the shoo-fly train between Raleigh and Wcldon, on the showing that the company Is losing $24.75 a day on' It,' and the people interested rising vp in protest against Its dis continuance. Under the law. we be lieve, the commission can compel the running of the train whether it makes money or lose it. Some month ago- the Southern discontin ued a convenient train on the West ern North Carolina Railroad, for the ireaaon that It did not pay to run three double-daily passenger trains en. that line and the commission or dered It restored. This has not been done as yet but we suppose It will be, When the law ran fix the rates that railroads shall charge, and com pel them to continue to run non-paying trains the presumption Is that If they paid the roads would not want to discontinue them there seems nothing left to do to them ex cept to make schedules for them and to own them. Regulation within rea sonable bounds 1 proper and neces sary but regulation may run to seed. We have a comfortable hope that the Democratic State executive com mittee, which Is to meet at Raleigh to-morrow e-enlng, will decide upon Charlotte ks the place for th meet ing of the State convention but that assurance can be Increased by the ex hibition of an active Interest on Char lotte's pare The attendance of a representation of twenty-four from this city at the meeting of the com mittee is already aawured but a sub rtantial increase in the number of volunteer .by, i.ao o'clock thl morning will secure a special train of Pullman ear, with ached ule for Wring here and leaving Raleigh on th return trip to be directed by a rpoeial committee of seven appointed at the gclwyn Hotel meeting last flight. It Is hoped that by the hour named there will be a considerable Bomber of additional enlistment. Our new column give detail.

MOLLYCODDLES By a vote of 11 to 17 the New York City board of education baa re jected the report of a special com mittee recommending the restoration of corporal punishment In Ihe public school. Thia course, doubtless prop er enough If girl alone had been la question, relate equally to boys. ' It appear to have been largely dictated by numerous protest from molly coddle organisation and Individual against the restoration, . After the vote, however, the board decided that the same committee be asked to take up the matter of establishing" dis ciplinary school la various part of the city. Under the contemplated plan lady-like boy or boys who Show promise of becoming littte la dle under Judicious coddling will bo kept In nice, soft cotton-wool; while the busters, along with the very mall proportion of Inherently vi cious boy, will be put In the way of good old-f aahioned larruping. If some member of the board have their way all active sport will un dergo at least partial abolition . be cause, by breeding red blood and hardihood In the-participant, they create problem of discipline." it i remarkablo how misanancyim for school boys ha become the shining Ideal of many of the perloi' ma chine-method educator. In thl connection the view of Dr. O. Stanley Hall, president of Clark University and an educational phll- osophsr of International reputation. are hlr,? y pertinent Dr. Clark .re cently (lit'lired In a magaxino article that i.w'cr present condition boys are lom,r in manliness, vlrnlcy, pus- nacity and all the qualities which lead men to subdue and posses the earth. Commenting upon . the fact that boys are more and more left to be reared and -taught entirety by wo men, he used these expressions: "They infuse a spirit of sugary be nignity which does not make the best metal In the soul of the boy. A coward and milksop, who cannot and will not fight against Insult, in justice and humiliation cannot by any peradventure become a complete specimen of hi sex. Women see clearly and feel deeply the vir tues of peace, but did any one of them ever appreciate those of con flict or war?" Dr. Hall, though an able and conscientious student of such questions, doubtless over-states the case. He Is led too far by the clearness with which he sees that the world will alway need , the charac teristic virtue of .both sexes and that among us one ct bids fair In time to become greatly weakened. The small majority of the New York education board which voted to spare the rod may be wiser than Solomon, but -we don't think so. While eity-bred boy are under Rn immense disadvantage at the best, it is a safe prediction that well-nigh all the New York public school male youngsters who in future amount to anything for good or evil will have made the acquaintance' of the disci plinary schools. ' , The fire loss of the United States and Canada for the month, of Feb ruary, according to the records of The New York Journal of Commerce, amounted to $18,489,700. The fig ures for the same month of the three years 1906, 1907 and 1908 run strangely near together, those for the two Februarys preceding the last having been 118,249,350 and $19, 876,600 respectively. The fire loss of the year 1906 amounted to $459,710,' 000 and of 1907 to $215,671,250 an encouraging decline of 60 per cent. But at best what staggering totals! The Ions by fire last year wa ap proximately one-fourth the value of the cotton crop; of the year before, approximately one-half It value. Secretary Straus, of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, sub mit, to the cabinet figure which Show that in January there wa a large decrease in the number of Jap anese Immigrant arriving In the United States, the total number of arrivals for both the mainland and Hawaii having been 971 as compared with 5.000 for January, 1907, Tho Immigration from other countries In January, Mr. Ftraus said, totaled 2.760, a decrease! of 50 per cent, com pared with January, 1907.
