XOKTII CAKOMX.VS LEGISLATIVE
j NEEDS.
The Halcigh News and Observer
sues a catalogue of legislative needs
of the State, and if the general as
sembly should enact sound laws to
meet even a majority of these needs
it will be iho most noteworthy legis
lative body that has ' ascmblcd In
Xorth Carolina's history. Anions the
things to which attention is directed
are the election laws which It refers
t as ' of the past generation" say
piift century; lack of adequate protec
tion for women and children who
work in nulls: lack of laws for sup
pression of monopoly and prosecution
of men engaged in restraint of trade;
criminal laws r0 years behind the
times; hit k of criminal prac tice act:
ur-.tlquated measures for protection of
employes injured; improvement of the
fe'.iow servant act: unification ami bet

government too much of the property

heavy a proportion of the burden on
the poor;" care of youthful criminals;
employment of convicts exclusively on
the roads; and the Improvement of
coi ntry homes.
There may be many views upon in
dividual proposals, but this pro
gram ns a whole is one imperatively
demanded by the conscience and the
enlightenment of our times. Nor is ft
all Inclusive. There are the new
ideals and methods in penology: the
question whether the constitutional
burden of a double tax on mortgaged
property must always bo borne; and
perhaps most important of all, meas

of the people. There Is too great a
laxity in this State as to weights and
me-sures. And the Greensboro News
and the Statesville Landmark will tell
yon that any legislature that fails to
enact a "dog law" and one with teeth,
a? that, no matter what may be its
ac.'iivements, has signally failed before
a plain duly.

I.ITTI.K REALLY KNOWN OF THE
BALKAN WAR.
While dispatches from the Euro
pean capitals dealing with the diplo
matic crisis brought about by the
Unlkan war have been verp optimistic
and reports from the near eas nr
of an unbroken succession of victories
by the allies, the markets of the world
have not reflected the apparent Im
provement In the, situation as might
have been expected. The more opto
mlslic feeling In Europe was reflected
in London Friday when Crltlsh con
soli advanced three-eights. Then
Saturday they lost a part of this gain.
On the heel of this came the Infor
mation that no armistice had been ar
ranged between Turkey and Itulgariu
nnd now It seems that a battle Is ac
tually being fought along the Tchatal
Ja line, a short distance from Cormtar-tinopb-.
T( may, have been noted that
while UtiHsIa has refused to antagonize
Austria-Hungary In the n tit Id pitted
territorial adjustments, the emir's
army has been placed on a. war foot

erable expense.
All of these facts taken together
emphasize the lack of authoritative
