' CHARLOTTE DAILY. OBSERVER, l FEBRUARY 21, 1909. A VARIETY BY AL FAIR This morning I am in hilarious mood. Not that J should foe. but lMt night I iaw th "glOTtous climate" of Calif ornU receive what lacked little of being a solar-plexus blow. When I left North Carolina I felt that all the lightning flashes and the reverbera tions of the thunder toad been left de nied. It had been the boast of the 'Frisco people -and those living along the shore for most of the eight hun dred miles of California that the air was heavy out here; that too much. density Interfered with lightning; that tistur abhorred a vacuum and that consequently you never saw an elec trical display. Of course there are exceptions to all rules, and the exception last night, or early this morning, about I a. m-, was a sublime and impressive excep tion. For two hours "heaven's artil lery," which we read about In book, waa to tfce front, and never before anywhere was there brighter lightning or louder thunder. Those who had never seen or heard anything like it concluded an earthquake was trying to invade the town but it was lust simply an old-fashioned thunderstorm ' Vltrt colored ribbon and decimal tab ulator. Visible, too, and ball-bearing. I stsplled down town after the storm was over and among others who discussed tit with me was Frank Krug, secVetary of the Native Sons Society, endlwhlle he li not as old as joms other men, he gave me to un derstand that never in all his life had he witnessed anything like It. In handing me this package of informa tion he wore a smile that waa bewitch ing and impressive and as he is in ths real estate business I reasoned that the customs of the timea gave real estate men more latitude for word painting than is enjoyed by a grave and careful chronicler of the doinga of the day. j However, because It has rained here every day since Christmas; because some twenty more Inches of water have fallen In six weeks than fell all last winter; because thunder and light ning and other things have done stunts awe-inspiring, I am not going to knock the climate I am going to insist that when the sun does shine the wwather U simply out of sight. Human nature la a queer old girl. Thlo has been observed before by phil osophers of all ages, and seme people who were not philosophers have been constrained to make the same remark. I dropped In upon an auction sale the other day and purchased an article for $1.20 that was well worth 14. I congratulated myself upon securing a bargain- I felt that what was my ga'n was the other fellow's loss The next day, however, a friend wAt to ths same auction store and purchased a duplicate of the article I had bought, and secured It for 65 cents. And nat urally enough I felt that my bargain was not any bargain at all. So it shows that all the way through It Is by comparison. Had my friend paid 10 cents or 20 cents more than I had paid I would have felt better. Thla point Is well illustrated in a story Judge Boyd, of Oreensboro, related to me. It was his own 'experience. He said that one time when he was prac ticing law In Greensboro a man came (town from New York who had a case of considerable importance, because it Involved quite a sum of money. He employed the judge to look after his interests. The Judge, as was usual wttli htm. squeesed all the juice out of the question in a few minutes; pre sented his case; won It, and- the whole transaction didn't occupy olrer two or three hours. The client was very much gratified and explained that he' would be at the judge's office after dinner and settle with him. The judge didn't take into account his splendid stock of general Information which he always carried; he figured on no fixed charges because his stock was not I physical property; he had It in his iiead. and he was wondering whether to charge the client $25 or $50. He returned from dinner and was still In doubt but the $25 fee seemed to be about right and he concluded to test the matter by saying: "Oh, $25 or 50 " After dinner the client came bust ling into bis office, and pulling from his pocket a roll of money, the shucks on which were hundred dollar bills, he wet his fingers and counted off three of them and looked up to the judge, asking: "Is that enough?" The Judge looked at the roll thought rapidly, and in an Incidental and Inconsequential way said: "Peel off another one!" The client "peeled it off," thanked the judge profusely and left the city within an hour for New York, Instead of feeling that he was at least $350, if not $376, ahead of the game, actually the possessor of that much more coin than he would hove been had the client asked him to name tils price, the judge told me that he thought about that thing for three or four days and regretted that he had net told the fellow, with, much feel ing, that he guessed he would charge him only $500, aa It didn't take much of his time. So runs the world away. We are all Inconsistent. W can't help it, and things wouldn't be at all interest ing if we were dWferent. Speaking of the long rains here as administered by Jupiter Phivlus, It may be of interest to some of the younger readers of The Observer to learn that Jupiter piuvlu is a native of North Carolina. I have a Utile bone morning, and therefore to pick this I arise ' to a J Question of pereonal privilege. When i left North Carolina, or a few days before I left. The Observer In making an announcement of my departure said In as many words that I was not a colonel. It seems that-' its editor had forgotten the proposition once laid down by me that journalism had Its colonels no less renowned than war. Anyway, It was printed that' I was called colonel principally for the reason that I was not a colonel, and truly tt la true that "conscience doth make cowards of us all." What I am approaching la the fact that had It not been for the publication by The Observer that I was not a military sna o. X. mlsM Jj avebf e n interested outjNichl Nicht, a Tokye newspaper, an tills way. In one of the morning pa per of this day and date X read the following personal ad: "LONELY lady and stranger ia city would like- to meet military offi cer; object matrimony- Box SS11. Chronicle." Imagine what a strain my gallantry underwent; imagine my sympathy for tha 'kmelv lady" and a -stranger In the city and I waa powerless. True, I argued, maybe The Observer ia not largely read on the Pacific coast but how did I know but what the lonely lady and a stranger were right from North Carolina? In restraining my motion I said L some' bitter things OF THINGS BROTH against thepress and against The Ob server In Particular, because .there la no tellinatftrhat might have happened could-hcve boldly maintained my military title of which The Observer ruthlessly divested me. X mention this to show that the libel law needs changing. There are many Callfornians who maintain that the Japanese question In its present alleged acute stag is simply a personal fight between Sena tor Perkins and President Rooaevelt. The conservative people out here are in favor of letting the Japanese ques tion alone, but the grandstand people Insist that If Japan wants to fight the time is now. The agitation reminds me very much of the Jingoism ram pant in North Carolina a couple of years ago. Those who wanted to make their voices heard la the world's loud chorua were Insisting that the railways were robbing the people; that con fiscatory laws were the real thing; that corporations should be demolish ed; that "the pee-pur should swing Into line and run things and out here tho alarmist wants to defy Japan; pants to get the United Statea mixed up Internationally If possible not so much because the Japs are disturbing any one, but because' the spell-binder wants to see results when he uses his lungs. If the germ theory la correct, that pesky microbe which carries a banner labeled the Pure-ln-Heart, is certainly spreading across the continent. The fact that a California Legislature has passed a law prohibiting racing Is considered the greatest triumph for morality ever achieved on this coast. To put -money on the ponies was some thing that everybody did- The rich and poor, the high and low, would lay down their money on the ponies Just the aame as the people of New Orleans in other days took lottery tlekets. Once in awhile there was a winner; once In awhile a man with a few dol lars made a stake but "most ln glnerally" the gambler lost. When be could lu afford o lose It was bad busi ness and tho moral wave which has run so high In all sections the past three or four years lashed Itself Into a furry concerning the races and Cali fornia will now be better at least tha; far. On every corner, In every city and little town the slot machine still flour ishes and Is not disturbed. In North Caiollna the law was enforced and slot machines were all taken out a year or ao ago but here the machine pays about 10 or 15 per cent, to the man risking his coin In North Caro lina you always got your money's worth the machine only gave you a chance to get more than your money's worth. If you drop a nickel In the slot here you get nothing unless you win; the chances are many againat your winning but the people play 'em. The license Is high, but every cigar stand has from one to four ma chines and there never was any bold er gambling and there was never any thing a surer thing than one of them. But the people who held up their hands In holy horror because the ponies were played say nothing about this more nefarious game. The bar rooms run Sunday and all night; hun dreds of them and the Pure-ln-Heart saw only .the races and maybe now with the race track cleared they will see something else and go after it. To a man who has lived in a com munity where Sunday was really ob served. It looks odd to see grocery stores and many other kinds of stores open; It seems strange that red likker is sold at all hours and Sunday is not regarded but I am not one to enter protest. I am here to say, however, that the gambling machines are a greater evil than the pony runs but Inasmuch as I am not on the board of aldermen; Inasmuch aa the supervis ors nave ail been bribed and there is nothing doing In the rake-off line at this time, I am not going to stand for election -so I take it if things do not suit me out here I know how the trains run in other direotiona But when I think of the great struggle now on in the South over the question of a dispensary to fill doctors' pre scriptions, and think that here a man can order a dray load of the ardent by telephone any time Sunday or at any hour of the night, and then compre htnd that we are all children of the same parentage, it strikes me as being a little bit strange. And the funny part Is, where the lid is on, red likker squlrmeth just the same. It has been suggested to me by a gentleman Who sometimes does a lit tle thinking for himself that the policy of California boomers Is to beat their tom-toms on the side Issues. He says that whenever a moral wave gets In motion out this way all of a sudden the Chinese question, the Japanese question, the bubonic plague, the earthquake hobby, the grafter Indus try or something else breaks out with great force and people who might want to legislate against slot machines or all-night houses or Sunday dese cration are at once engrossed with greater questions questions set out In box-car type by the argus-eyed and venal press and all the little things are rorgotten. He avers that this Japanese sensationalism Is on only to Knights of Labor, the only labor or- make people forget other, things. He I onization in North Carolina, was or- may be sailing right to the port In ! gmiaed and he entered into the spirit fact, his theory looks good when youlof tnls movement with much enthu- slt down and put a few together. ! ?tam ,H V'y, Sm!!A wnnr -,iT k- xt.Tk .h leader of both thought and action Morally Stunted dldn'i Tdo Something itk that. Th. nA ..,. like that They could have gotten uo a few scarecrows that would have aroused the millions and thus won the day. Instead of that a railway "care got the Legislature together and m fiviiiuuiuu tiBCHga wu nanaea oui before any one knew that the house waa on fire. Of course It all depends on how we feel about it, but sometimes when the Legislature does strenuous stunts be fore high heaven the- conservative man, the fellow who ia not fond of red fire and stuffed clubs in legisla tive halls, naturally concludes that some law-makers are lacking In wis dom. And It may depend on whether or not the bill being considered Is to you; way of thinking.. But I was Just reading In the last number of The Literary Digest a translation from the rticinTwhich the aTmonfl-eye'eTn: tor suggests that 'The American gov ernment has certainly a riotous lot of blockheads to deal with in California. -A riotous lot of blockheads!" That strikes jne as Ming - very good, and that word riotous comes In for sll it is worth. I have often felt constrain ed to Intimate- that a Legislature, viewed as a collective whole, Is some- Net-stag- Mothers and Malaria. v .

And to know that in far-off Japan a UtUe Brown 7Bx took a snapahot and developed It so perfectly suggeeU to me that distance has at last been overcome. ' Footpads desperate ones who use the blackjack and the lead pipe are so thick In San Francisco that peopie venturing out at night leave their false teeth at home through fear that they might lose them. Detectives and plain clothes men and uniformed officers are doing all they can, but the reign of terror contlnuea The papers each day contain a list of from twenty to thirty victims who were knocked out the night before. I mention these things o my readers may fully understand why an earthquake or a tidal wave la considered Inconsequential. And yet, with all these things, we have the glorious climate of California so what's the odds? San Francisco, Feb- 6th. 1909. C. F. KING AS A BOY BY JACK ALBRIGHT. C. F. King, who Is now serving a term In the penitentiary at Boston, Mass., and who rote from a factory boy to a frenzied ilnancler, is a na tive of this State and while in his mad chase for dollars he may have deviated from thj paths of rectitude, his career has been a remarkable one and demonstrates what pluck, en ergy and self-confidence can accom plish. It is not the purpose of this article to discuss hi guilt or Inno cence or discuss his wonderful ex plolu as an advertising agent, mine operator or financier when he lived In splendor In Boston and enjoyed the confidence of men of Intellect and wealth it is sufficient to say that the mighty has Indeed fallen, for he has In one short year dropped from a modern mansion to a common cell, from the esteem of his fellowmen to the distrust of those with whom he had dally associated. Every news paper reader Is familiar with how he rose from an ordinary newspaper re porter to a great advertising agent who conducted some of the leading capitalists of the world over the far West, how he is reputed to have made large sums of money in oil specula tion In the Southwest, how he be came or was supposed to have become a millionaire In Boston, how he one day closed his palatial offices In that great city and disappeared aa sud denly as If the very earth had swallow ed htm, how he almost circled the globe and came back aa mysteriously as he disappeared, gave himself to the authorities, protesting his innocence of any wrong-doing, and was ready for trial. The courts believed him guil ty for a bond of $35,000 was required for his appearance at a higher trlbu nal. The last chapter recorded is the fact that his bondsmen gave him up. no doubt believing In his guilt and as a result he was sent to Jail to await the action of a grand jury. It is not of tl.e man I would apeak, but of the boy who, no matter what may be the outcome of his present dif ficulties, first saw the light of day in North Carolina about the year 1865, which would make him 43 years old now. He was of humble parentage and was born in Alamance county, somewhere on Haw river, and was tho youngest of several children, all of whom, except himself, were girls. His father died when ha was an Infant and his mother, left with several children to support, was forc ed to move to a cotton factory where she could find employment for her children. She moved to what was then known as swepsonvllle, on Haw river, where George W. Swepson, of Kalelgh. had Just completed a large mill on the site known as Ruffln's Mill. It was here that young King spent hs early life In idleness, for his mother ran the factory hotel ana his sistersNworked In the mill, thereby giving him an opportunity to go to school on the "factory hill and ac quire the rudiments of an English education. The writer remembers him well as a broad-chested and stur dy youth with a splendid head above his eyes, the picture of physical health, and an eye keen to every self-interest. In demeanor he was quiet but a good talker when engag ed In conversation and seemed to possess certain qualities of leadership among the bars of his own age and even men of little' education with whom he dally associated. At this time he went by the name his mother had given him. that of Clyde, and It was years afterward when he pre fixed "Cardenlo" to his royal-sound-Ing surname. He was about 17 years old when his Influence began to be felt among his small circle of acquaintances, for at that tender age he had developed Into a thinker and rarely ever partici pated In the festivities of mill life, which consisted of a dance each Sat- urday night. About that time the rLntSSStto labor element by addressing the the meet- Ings at the various cotton mills In the county. This movement no doubt is whst gave him the Inspiration for greater deeds, for shortly afterwards, with--out any newspaper experience what ever, we flndhim publishing a pe riodical devoted to the Interests of labor In Charlotte, Where he spent several years He was not a suc cess as a publisher but made good as a correspondent of an Atlanta paper, especially when he scooped everything with a slorv of the famous Boston bridge wreck. Without education or opportunities he .conceived great plans'- and had the nerve and energy to execute them and -no doubt would have proven a success had he been contented to move along In the more conservative chan nels of life and not allow his greed for both, prominence and money to make -a- criminal of .JUmsslL Every Hour oi the Day tnilsh-McLerty Co.. the reliable Druggists of Charlotte, are having call for "HTNDIPO." the new Kid ney Cure and Nerve Tonic that they are selling under a pealtlve guar antee.

There will be no change In the plan of the Panama canal. It will be completed according to the lock plan, within six years, and possibly In less time. The total cost, Including the original purchase of the French title and the lease of the Canal Zone, will be considerably under $400,000,000. The cost of a sea-level canal would be something over 60 per cent, more than, the lock type. The engineer ing difficulties In the way of a a level canal, chief of which would bei the construction of a dam 170 ffet high, to control the Chaares river, as opposed to the Oatun dam, which will be Only eighty-five feet high. will, in i the opinion of all who have seriously I Investigated conditions In the Canal I Zone, prevent any change from the lock plan. These facts and various other became known to a high official of the administration here. 1 The consulting engineers declined to talk for publication, saying that, as they were busily engaged in complet ing their report for the President. It would not be proper for them to make a preliminary report through the press. The engineers discussed the situation, however, with their super iors, although the discussion was In formal. All the engineers agree with regard to the general plan of the canal, and It Is doubtful If their re port will contain a single recommen dation In favor of the sea-level type. The engineers regard as almost too obvious for explanation the proposi tion that the Chagres dam, which would be made necessary by the adoption of the sea-level plan, would be as much more difficult to construct with safety as the proportion of 170 to 85, although the novice may need to be reminded that only the height of a body of water controls the pressure of the dam with which It Is sought to restrain it, and that the pressure on the Gatun dam, despite the fact that It constitutes the retain ing wall of a lake twenty-three miles long, will be no greater than If the lake were only a mile or half a mile long. The result Is that the pressure against the Oatun dam would be S, 312.6 pounds a lineal square foot, as againat a pressure on the Chagres dam, which would be made neces sary by a sea-level canal of 10.625 pounds a lineal foot. The argument that an earthquake may destroy the Oatun dam or other works of the lock type, while not regarded as particularly forceful by the engineers, becomes. It Is pointed out by them, of Increased force when applied to a sea-level canal which would Involve the construction of a mansonry dam 170 feet high. 'WOMAN SCFFRAGE. Victory for Feiiiinlntwt In the Swedish LrglHlature. New York World. The favorable vote of the Swedish Die on women suffrage, by 120 to 98 In the lower, Is much the greatest victory the movement has gained. , Australia and New Zealand have full woman suffrage, but the latter has only a email population, and the former lives under colonial conditions, which largly exclude International problems from consideration: Too much haa been made of woman suffrage In Finland and the twenty five women members of Its Parlia ment. Finland la only a dependent ritrchy. and the bills In which the women members were most Interested have been vetoed by the Csar. But Sweden Is a factor In world politics quite out of proportion to Ita five million and odd Inhabitants, though these are the greatest number yet admitted to equal suffrage under one flag. She is wholly Independent, highly educated, perplexed by all the problems of modern Industrial life, and most Important of all she Is the vanguard and champion of the Norse race against Russia. As New Zealand Is the world's prov ing ground for woman suffrage In advanced social legislation, so Sweden and Norway may become In Interna tional relations.
