(a th orphanages of tha Stat tber li no provision for cripple ia body, aound in mind. North Carolina ha never given a dollar to th help, aid or sup port of crippled and deformed children The blind, the deaf motes, th children of unitound minds, th criminal, the wayward, and other are provided for in its scheme of philanthropy. And the cripple oftentimes does aot get hi share of th publie school because b cannot And a way to attend. Is it not time for a change' Take this matter of statistics and see. Forty eight per eent of crippled boys become criminals. That in itself ia a clarion call to tha people of the Stat to do Homethlng to end this eeaaelesa proee sion erimeward. W ar not being true to ourselves when w let this matter go on without attempt to relieve th situa tion, and etperienc ha give a proof that it costs less money to cur cripple than It doe to let them grow up charges on the community. In North Carolina thsr ar 6.718 cripples. From records upon th mat ter of treatment of deformed children it has been found that OH per cent of minor causes, such as club-feet; curved wrists, twiated hands, can , be cured About 90 per eent of the other case are being cured or aided so that the chil dren can become self supporting. That puts squarely up to our people the mat ter of taking up th business of provid ing treatment for such children. Private effort has made a beginning mid the Htate can well go ahead with it. Mr. K I). Babbington, of Gaston county, is the man who made the discovery thut there was no pine provided by the Stat for cripple and defonnitie,-and he has fathered th movement for an orthopaedic hospital,' in which cripples would b treated, and taught trades so na' to beeome self-supporting citizens In Gaston county a sit of 28 acres In being considered for ths location, Gas ton county h svlng r ised 1 1 0,f)0 of the 5f,n00 needed to build, equip arid start the North Carolina Orthopaedie Ilis pital, chartered in 1PU. Above 11.000 has come from .other sources, with many organizations of the fitato endorsing the project, among these the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference, the I'nited Commercial Travelers, the Travelers Protective Association, and the chamber of commerce of a number of places. The Btate can well afford to lend a hand in so needed an under taking. HAS BETTERED THE 8TATE.

Today there will begin In Raleigh the ninth biennial meeting of the organl zstion, having before it the purpose to take steps which will make more effect ive the prohibition laws- of the flute. The meeting will have presented to it reports of what has been accomplished, will hear KiliIreaHes from various advo rates of prohibition, and "ill take ac tion with regard to further legislation which will be sought from the General Assembly. This afternoon th orgunlr.atlntt will have the good fortune to hear an ad dress by William Jennings Bryan, wljose advocacy of the cause of prohibition bni been th means of rendering real service in many sections of the country, it being recognized that his Voice In the cnue of national prohibition is aid ing in the growth of sentiment favoring IbavdelvinjtutakUlquatwkfl! tire country. It will be a pleasure to the workers for prohibition to give wel come to Mr. Hrysn, a it will be for the people of Raleigh and of th State who are standing for the beat interest! of the people. Mr. Bryan is a leader in any cause which wins his support and we doubt not but that hi address this afternoon will b of real value. Tonight Judge 8. D. Weekly, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, will speak upon the legal pointa.pf, the,JcgjiUtip.nKbiFh..U to. .be, sought of th General Assembly. In his remarks it la to be expected that he will speak' of the recent great vic tories for prohibition in the action of the United State Senate la voting to hare prohibition ln the District of Co lumbia, and In the decision of the Su preme Court of the United State up holding th constitutionality of the Wfbb-Kenyon Law, as having to do with the proposed law for this State. Th meeting of the Antl Raloon Lesgiie are publie and there ia an open invitation to attend. Th session will elos Tuesday. AN ACT OF JUSTICE. Sometimes In life there has to be much cutting of red tape and smashing of precedents In order that Justice be done. The essential thing always Is that there be Justice, though just lee should ever be tempered with .mercy. And in -the request of Governor Craig, the eompli aae ef the board of directors of the State'a Prison, la th matter of gfring to the dependent families of State con victs 10 each from tie earning of th convict during th past year there I both Jostle and merer. Ther .should be no splitting of hairs about the matter la . the deliberations of ta GeasrsJ Assembly. Th kaadllng of the affaire of th State's Prison 1 put in charge of the directors of that institution. In their discretion if they And that things not forbidden by the Uw will Inure to the benefit ft ths prison, then they should do those thing. That the Christmas donation; of 1Q each to th families of dependent eonviet is as legal ia th commutation money allowed to convict when they leave the prison, as legal as the purchase of shoe and eitixen's clothing, w do not doubt The General Assembly eaa well ratify the action of Governor Craig ln making the request for the $"10 payment and the actlan of th director In putting th request into effect. Ia that matter Hoa. William M. Wilson, a prominent at torney of Charlotte, In a letter to the editor of this paper whleh ia published oa this rsge today take th view that the Stat in withholding from th de pendentand innocent families of eon victs any property which , belongs to them convicts itself of offense for whtrk many convicts are now being punished. It is to the view that the dependent families of convicts ar du mean of support from the labor of th convict that th mind of the people of North Carolina is steadily turning. In all his tory the Innocent have suffered for the crime of the guilty, and this will go on, but so fur as possible th State hould adopt a policy with regard to the earnings of convict which would In some degree take care of th dependent wimen and children of their families. IHity anL4ustiee demand humanity on the part of this fctnte. MORE MONEY FOR TEACHERS. r Letters To" The Ivlitor The question of larger salaries for school teachers ha been a theme for the press, a well as for general publie discussion for many years, and there Is no department of the educational ays tern In North Carolina that 1 affected so much as the State colJeges on ac count of the small salaries whlek m em - Iters of th faculties of our State Insti tutions receive. It has happened daring recent years that some of the strongest member of thee faculties hav re igned to accept more lucrative post' ions elsewhere, ' Of course all the State Institutions need more money for running et- pensre, aa likewls they need more buildings, but with these two needs there1 is also the need for a better paid caching force. No college can be greater than its graduates, and no body or graduates can oa Deyonn ths Instrue tion and association received front 'the teachers. " The latest ,,. from the edneatlnnsl life of JV.if state is Dr. J. I. nandley. nstuctor in physiology and pathology the A. and M. College, who has gone to Michigan Agricultural College to accept a better position at a larger salary. Within the past three years, no less than Ave of the ablest members of the A. and M. faculty hav left for broader and better paying fields, and aa equal number have gone from the other Btate colleges. It I to he hoped that a mors ade quate payment ei.n be secured for the teacher shortly, and when this comes, there will be a great improvement ln the effectiveness of the profession. When North Carolina has able aid gifted men and women in its institution it should hold on to them. J "ONE CANT LET GO, AND THE OTHER D ASSENT. "CONCRETE CRITICISM AND BEMEDT.

Paurs, N. C. WILL MEET A REAL NEED. .The proposed new Issue of one and two dollar greenbacks will meet a real lined. There are not enough small slied notes in circulation. It Is true that when you "bust up" a fle dollar note, only a little tiro will elapse before it is all gone, but when man make a- Ave eent purchase he ilocpn't want to be made to feel like a criminal by having to hand the vender aBveollar bll from which to get his money. And as for a ten3onar""br a twenty dollar bill ther ar times la th average town where such money is, for practical purposes, non negotiable. True, the small notes are. a trifle Milky "Hut there ts the comfortable feel ing of having a good-sized roll in one's pocket even if the intrinsic value Is nothing to brag about. But, whatever the reason, the demand for thr small notes Is undeniable. The Treasury Department announces that tlislri.maB4..ia..uapie(ie.atd,.It Icon of the concomitants of prosperity, the Treasury Department having always looked upon eueh a condition as an un failing index to sound business condi tions. It is an interesting fact that ao green backs have been issued since 18H5 and that the amout t of outstanding one and two dollar note of that variety 1 only a little over three million dollars. To meet the proposed new issue a portion of the (102.443,300 outstanding in TT. S. notes of $10 denomination and higher will be retired and cancelled dollar for dollar.

But I trust that I mnv he excused for making a few observe tione oa the subject. Those convicts are held by the sever eign State of North Carolina in pun 4 ishmeat for crime committed by them I take it that their dependents had' no part In the commission of those crimes or they too would be convicts. That being true. If th great Stat of North Carolina knowingly, and by virtue of it power, takes from those innocent dependents any property which belong to tfem. It mnst follow t lint the State I In danger of standing convicted be fore the world of one of the very of fenses for which doubtless many of these convicts are now serving time, to witt Taking by force that which be longs to another. This may not ! true in it technical sense, but viewed from the standpoint of higher and truer jus tlee, the rases are analogous. The earning of a man belong to hi" dependents. If he' foils to use them for their support, he Is guilty of non support. The fact that he Is convicted of crime does not alter the truth of thi legal fact. Therefore, If the Ntnte makes a profit out of the- labors of her convicts, and pockets th!s profit, she if pocketing something which belongs in law and justice to innocent women and children. The State has made a profit nut of their labor, amounting during the last four years to four hundred thousand dollars, over and above the coat of keeping them. This money be longs, not to the Rtate, hut to the de pendent families of the convicts. And now, thanks t the big heart of our outgoing Governor, they hare r cetved back from the 8tate At least a pittance of that which is their own. .....Bum. Senator has said that there Is no precedent for Governor Craig's ac tion. In this he is mlxtnken, for there ar already States ln the Union which recognizes the big truth that the earn ings of the convicts, after defraying the cost of thrdr-keep, belong to their de pendents. But, If the (Senator meant that there was no precedent in this State, then I cite him to the innumer able precedents of Individual citirrns who, happening to come into possession of the goods or money of another, in stinctively turn such goods or money oyer to the true owner. rsiling'.tD which, he stands in danger of becomina hlm'sTbne" of 'tnnTrcTs'fiouT' wKom" I am ipeaking.

Many people have a sort of vague im pression that a happy, constructive life is something apart rrom tno any a work, that it is a mystical something, dotei mined largely by fate or destiny. The truth is, as experience and obeer vatinn constantly show. It depends en tirely on how we manipulate our per sonal assets. The material of which success and happiness are built is in our own hands. The building is the work of every day. It consists In liv ing, life up to its maximum possibility of good. Tbers is no unnatural strain ing and striving in this. It is a simple matter of honest, earnest, persistent en deavor every day; of alway trying to better our best and to make our high est moment permanent. There ia no future in the spirit which approaches the day's work by looking on it as .drudgery, by dreading . it, hating it. Spoiling that which you might make a masterpiece,- which might be so well done that it would not only yield you mean a groat deal to the world, Is to put the biggest sort of stumbling block in the way of your own happiness aid advancement, . The man who does not find Joy la his work - has not found his plsc in life. The work w were mad to do is normal self -expression la the exer cising of our strongest faculties, aad this should be a perpetual delight. God did net mean labor to be a pais. but a pleasure.' The work one is bora ts) da is asTSt djrffdgsry.' It ia Ut do ing the thing we hate, the thing we ere not fitted for, thnt is drudgery to us.

But if you fizzle In what you attempt, if you peter out. nobody will have enough confidence in you to i give you a bigger Job, a better posi tion. ' I know a man who has made a re markable success in a business which was so disagreeable to him for years that he could scarcely endure it.
