Specialization of Our Modern Indus trial Life. The Aims of Labor Legislation and Its Accomplishments. THE RIGHT TO REGULATE CON DITIONS OF LIFE AND . WORK IN FACTORIES AND TENE- ME NTS SHOULD SQUARE PER FORMANCE WI'lxx PROMISE ATTEMPTING THE IMPOSSIBLE. iChdcag-o, Sept. 3. Governor Roose velt of New York, candidate for vice pjreeldeint, delivered an address ..ere to day at the labor day celebration, before an immense audience. He said la part: By far the greatest problem the most far-reaching in its stupendous importance, is that problem, or rather that group of problems, which we have grown to speak of as the labor ques tion. It must 'be always a peculiar privilege for any tboughful public man to address a body of men predomin antly composed of wage workers, for the foundation of our whole social structure rests upon the material and moral well being, the intelligence, the foresight, the sanity, the sense of $uty and the wholesome patriotism of the wage worker. This is doubly the case now; for, in addition to each man's individual action, you have learned the great lesson of acting in combination. It would be impossible to overestimate the far-reasMng in fluence of, and on the whole, the amount of good done through your as sociation. In addressing you the "one thing which I wish to avoid is any mere glittering generality, any mere Mgh-sounding phraseologoy and, above, all any appeal whatsoev er made in a demagogic spirit, or in a spirit of mere emotionalism. "When we come to dealing with our social and industrial needs, remedies, rights and wrongs, a ton of oratory is not worth an ounce of hard headed, kindly common sense. The fundamental law of healthy political life in this great republic is that each man shall in deed, and not merely in word, be treated strictly on his worth as a man; that each shall do full justice to his fellow, and in re turn shall exact full justice from him. Each group of men has its special in terests; and yet the higher, the (broad er and deeper interests are those which apply to all men alike; for the spirit of brotherhood in American citizenship, when rightly understood and rightly applied, is more important than aught else. The more a healthy American sees of one's fellow Americans the greater grows his conviction that our chief troubles come from mutual misunder standing, from failure to appreciate one another's point of view. In other words the great need is fellow feeling, sympathy, brotherhood; and all thi3 naturally comes by association. Our prime need as a nation is Uiat every American should understand and work with his fellow citizens, get ting in touch with them, so that by actual contact he may learn that fundamentally he and they have the same interests, needs and aspirati ns The specialization of our modern industrial life, its high development and complex character, means a corre sponding specialization, in needs and interests. While we should, so long as we can safely do so, give to each in dividual the largest possible liberty, a liberty which necessarily includes in iative and responsibility, yet we must not hesitate to interfere whenever it is clearly seen that harm comes from excessive individualism. We cannot afford to be impirical one way or the other. In the county districts the sur A W -w -w -w -w Valuable Mineral Property. !

In our cities, or where men congregate In masses, it is often necessary to work; in combination; that is, through asso ciations; and here it is that we can see the great good conferred by abor organizations, by trade unions. Of course, if .managed unwisely, the very power of such a union or organization, makes it capable of doing much harm; but, on the whole, it would be hard to overestimate the good these organiza tions have done in the past; and still harder to estimate the good they can do in the future if handled with res olution, forethought, honesty and sanity. It is not possible to lay down a hard-and-fast rule, logically perfect, as to when the state shall, and when the in dividual shall be left unhampered and unhelped. . ., We have exactly the same right to regulate the conditions of life and work in factories and tenement houses that we have to regulate fire escaped and the like in other houses. In cer tain communities the existence of a thoroughly efficient department'-'of fac tory inspection is just a essential as the establishment of A . fire depart ment. How far we shall go- in regu lating the hours of lahor, or the lia bility of employers, is a matter of ex pediency, and each case must be deter mined on its own merits, exactly as it is a matter of expediency to de termine what so-called "public utili ties" the community shall itself own and what ones it shall leave to pri ate corporate ownership, securing to itself merely the right to regulate, sometimes one course is expedient, sometimes the other. In my own state during the last half dozen years we have made a number of notable strides in labor legislation, and, with very few exceptions, the laws have worked well. This is, of course, partly because we have not tried to do too much and have pro ceeded cautiously, feeling our way; and, while always advancing, yet tak ing each step in advance only when we were satisfied that the step al ready taken was in the right direction. To invite reaction by unregulated zeal is never wise, and sometimes fatal. In New York our action has been along two lines. In the first place we determined that as an employer of la bor the state should set a 'good ex ample to other employers. We do not intend to permft the people's money to be squandered or to tolerate any work that is not of the best. But we think while rigidly insisting 'oil- good , worx,f we should see that- there is fair play n return. Accordingly we have adopted the eight-hour Jw for the state em ployes and for all contractors who do state work, and we have also adopted a law that the fair market rate of wages shall be given. I am glad to say that both measures have so far, on the whole, worked well. Of course there have been individual difficulties, most ly where the work is intermittent, as, for instance, among lock tenders on the canals, where it is difficult to de fine what eight hours' work means. But on the whole the result has been good. The practical experiment- of working men for eight hours has been advantageous to the state. Poor work is always dear, whether poorly paid or not, and good work is always well worth having;; and .as a mere ques tion of expediency, aside even from the question of humanity, we find that we can obtain the best work by paying fair wages and permitting the work to go on only for a reasonable time. The other side of our labor legisla tion has been that affecting the wage workers who do not work for the state. Here we have acted in three different ways: Through the bureau of labor statistics, through the board of media tion and arbitration and through the department of factory inspection. During the last two years the board of mediation and arbitration has been especially successful inf settling many strikes after they were started, but they have succeeded in preventing a much larger number of strikes before they got fairly under way. Where pos sible it is always better to mediate before the strike begins than to try to arbitrate when the fight is on and both sides have grown stubborn and bitter. x The bureau of labor statistics has done more than merely gather the (Continued on fifth pape.

After calling the committee to order Mr. Holton tendered his resignation as state chairman, which read as fol lows: "Gentlemen of the State Republican Executive Committee: In view of the fact that my time will be occupied in the court 'during the month of October hereby tender my resignation as chairman of this committee. I desire to return my thanks to the committee and the republicans of the state for the manifestations of confidence and uniform courtesy shown me during my entire connection with the committee. "A. E. HOLTON." The resignation was accepted 'and upon the suggestion of Mr. Holton Senator Pritchard was unanimously elected his successor as chairman of the state republican executive com mittee. A committee of three, consisting of E. C. Duncan, Tyre Glenn and Thom as S. Rollins 'was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions thanking Mr. Holton for the splendid service ren dered the party during his career as chairman. The committee retired and in a few moments returned with the following resolutions which were unan imously adopted: "Resolved first, That it is with deep regret that we accept the resignation of Hon. A. E. Holton as chairman of our state republican executive com mittee, and do so only because it will be impossible for him to devote his personal attention to the approach!!? campaign, Inasmuch as his court will be insession during the entire month of October.

Moody left Saturday for Robbinsville, where the congressional campaign will be opened tomorrow. Hon. W. T. Crawford boarded the west-bound train at 5:10 this afternoon. He will spend the night at Andrews and meet his republican opponent at Robbins ville at 12 o'clock tomorrow. This western tour of our congressional can didates will be watched with much in terest. It is but truth to say that Mr. Crawford starts In this campaign with doubts as to the result, and well he may for Judge Adams carried, this dis trict by more than 500 majority, and it is only fair to presume that the men who voted for Adams will support Moody. On the other hand many men who voted for Mr. Aycock on account of the race issue will support the na tional republican administration and Mr. Moody. The campaign in this district is going to be a very hot one, and Major Moody is confident that when the ballots are counted he will have a handsome majority. Haywood republicans (and there are more now than ever before) are highly pleased with the Hayood Journal, the new republican paper at Clyde. Mr. H. C Shook is one of the best edi torial writers in this section and he and his paper deserve and will receive the hearty support of loyal republicans in Haywood and adjoining counties. THE WAYNESVILLE SEASON- An Unusually Prosperous One The Canton Postoffi.ee Robbery. Waynesville, N. C, Sept. 3. Sum mer visitors are leaving here rapidly. This has been a prosperous season for Waynesville and her hotels. More vis itors spent the month of August here tha"rrever before.

The vessel iwas giv en a clean bill of 'healith and permitted to proceed to her dock, and her passen gers were allowed to land.

MISTRUST OF RUSSIA Seems to be General Feeling Among the European Powers- Kack of Confidence Shared by United States. Withdrawal of Troops From Pekin Would Strengthen Russia. United States Should be Left to Deal Alone With China. WHICH IS CONSIDERED BEST AND QUICKEST WAY TO ATTAIN PEACE, AND IT IS DESIROUS THAT POWERS AGREE TO THIS PLAN. Washington, Sept. 3. At the de partment of state today it was said that no replies had been received from any of the powers to the notification made last week by the United States in its response to Russia's proposition to withdraw from Pekin and none is expected for several days at least. Unofficial advices received from rep resentatives of the several powers show that these countries desire some time to consider the question and to consult with their officials in Pekin before making any reply. These re ports show there is a g-eneral mistrust of Russia among the European pow ers. That this lack of confidence is shared by the United States is admit ted here. Russia's reason for proposing the withdrawal of troops at this time was declared by one official today to be that she would be in a better position six" months or a year from now to dic tate alone to China than at present. In refusing to accede to Russia's proposition the United States govern-, nreit Adheres, to the policy that, if the United States, was alone in denianding peace and reparation from China it would not give up Pekin . pending the action of the government but would re main there and tell the Chinese offi cials they could have the city when they accepted the Americans' terms. What the United States desires is that the powers agree to this plan as it is considered the best and quickest way to attain peace. NEGROES A88AULTE0 .

Not a dozen men in 'the whole crowd knew what the trouble was about nor why they wanted to asault the negroes Had it not been for the speedy arrival of the police and the liberal use of clubs murder might have been commit ted.
