THE PRESIDENT'S WANING INFLIJENCF. We had occasion the other day to apeak of the President aa a crazy jin goist and monarchist. That is not very polite, but it expresses the truth in; dealing- with the recent acts of one in such ai exalted position aa- his acta of a charac ter so astounding- as to take the breath away ; the wretched Bel, larny Storer episode; the threat to uae the array and navy in coercing the State of California; the declara tion of the purpose to obliterate State HneR and -centralize the govertrmentr and so on. The Preaident has so many lovable qualitiea that people .have Overlooked his defects of temper and his want of training in the science of government. But he has lately per mitted his impulses to run riot even in dealing with the most serious and momentous questions of State. In a long editorial of great ability. the Baltimore Sun "reviews the'PrW deut s recent course, suggests that its effect must be the certain de cline of his influence with the people, and presents the following well-con sidered view of the manner of man who should fill the office of head of this great government : The popular conception of a states man of the first rank is that he is a man who ia wise in all that pertains to government; that he i8 discreet, self-contained and well-balanced; that he never allows bis prejudice to run away with his judgment; that he is dignified in manner and practices al ways that sobriety of speech which is most becoming in men of exalted po sition. This was the American ideal for many years. Perhaps it is the ideal even now of the majority of the citizens of this republic, albeit times have changed and statesmen seem to have changed with them. If, perchance, a statesman, who is also President of the United States, in the hurly-burly of political war fare or personal controversy, as Pres ident Roosevelt has done in the last year, give expression to extravagant and what by many are considered dangerous opinions, may there not be ground for the fear that he will lose a part of the influence which he is supposed to exercise over the peo pled The office which Mr. Roosevelt holds is the most exalted in tbe gift of the American people. The man who receives a commission from the people to be the head of this republic for four years its Chief Magistrate is more highly honored than the king who occupies a throne by the law of succession and not as the deliberate and voluntary choice of his subjects. The American statesman who is ele vated to the Presidency of the United States ought, by reason of the tre mendous responsibilities imposed upon him and the majesty of his office, to cultivate reserve, modera tion, dignity of speech and a proper restraint in his official and personal intercourse with others. He should be a man of light and leading in all that pertains to the affairs of the na tion. In the discussion of public questions he may be forceful and di rect if he choose, but always within the bounds of decorum and reason such decorum as is naturally associ ated with the office of a Chief Magis trate. The President who stands in this relation to the people, who is al ways identified m their minds with seriousness ol purpose, a juaiciai temper, gravity of thought and speech and unfailing regard for the dignity of his office, will always wield lnttu ence with the people. SOUTH CAROLINA WITHI HEM BIGHTS IN IMPORTING LABORERS. A Washington dispatth gives the following interestiflfajd important information concerning the recent importation of laborers by the State of South Carolina : An important decision that un doubtedly will attract widespread at tention, especially in labor union circles, to the effect that the prohibi tions of the contract labor laws nave no direct application either to a State, or to an officer of a State acting in its behalf and pursuant to its authority, was to-day made public by Oscar S. Straus, the new secretary of commerce and labor. The opinion was handed down by the solicitor of the department, and has the approval of Secretary Straus. TWo is thus settled, until further action either by the Department of Justice or the federal courts, a ques tion that has been a matter ot coniro versv between the government au thorities and labor leaders and others opposed to unrestricted immigration. The decision will be of special inter est in the South, many States in that section having passed laws witn a view to attracting desirable immigra tion. The decision of to-day was basea upon the action of the authorities of South Carolina in bringing from abroad oo or more immigrants for employment in various industries. It appears trom tne recoras, mi " some time the agricultural and man ufacturing industries of South Caro lina have been retarded and were in danger of material -injury because of the lack of labor. The South Carolina mills, it was shown, tried, in the State itself, in adjoining States, and in various parts of the country, to secure the necessary labor, but with out success. ' J - To relieve this condition, the South Carolina Legislature passed a law creating a department of agriculture, commerce and immigration, and ap pointing a commissioner at its head who was charged generally with the Danger in Asking Advice.

Ameng other things, the law em powered the commission to make such arrangements with steamship companies and immigration agenciea in this country and abroad aa would beat serve the interests oi successful immigration. On Nov. 4 last the steamship Wittekind arrived from Bremen at Charleston, S. C, having on board about 47s aliens destined to various points in the State. About 200 of these were Belgian mill opera tives, their wivea and children, tbe remainder being German farm labor er and women seeking domestic ser. vice. All these aliena were induced to im migrate to the United States by the State of South Carolina, tbe state act ing through the medium of its com missioner, who went to Europe in August to induce desirable immi grants to come to the State. The pas sage money of the aliens was paid by the State from a fund, a part of which was appropriated by the State and the balance being contributecUbv -Uvariong corporations and individuals. bucn an act, performed by an indi vidual corporation, however, would have been a violation of the contract labor laws. The immigration ser vice was duly notified of the expected arrival of the immigrants and the right of such aliens to land was left to the determination of the officers administering the federal immigra tion laws. The question was refer red to the secretary of commerce and labor, and by him to the solicitor of the department. After referring to certain proposi tions established by judicial decision, the solicitor's opinion proceeds: "If the State has undertaken by leg islation to prescribe - the conditions under which aliens might be admitted to her porta, to grant or deny the pri vilege of entry, to authorize measures which Congress has denounced or for bid measures which Congress had sanctioned, or to 'regulate' in any other way the immigration or impor tation of aliens, such legislation would be void." The solicitor then proceeds to show that the State has done none of these things. He continues: "She has enacted a law designed to encourage.and assist the immigration of foreign laborers to her territory on the assumption that this action on her part was not forbidden by federal laws, leaving to those laws the determina tion of whether any foreign laborers seeking entry should be excluded." The question to be answered, the solicitor says, is reduced .to this: "Has Congress forbidden the use of the particular mode of assistance for encouragement employed in the pres ent case notwithstanding that a State is the actor, through its authorized agent?"" After pointing out that Congress has distinctly authorized States and territories to encourage the immigra tion of foreign laborers, especially when such a policy should seem to be required by local industrial condi tions, the solicitor concludes as fol lows: "The plan pursued as it is shown to have been carried out, does not in volve a violation of the immigration laws of the United States prohibiting the importation of contract laborers." OUR PROTECTIVE POLICY HAS SO BE NUMBED US THAT FAST BRITAIN BEATS US IN EVERY NEU TRAL FIELD. An Example In Warship Building. Says the Baltimore Sun : The plans for the battleship which have been submitted to Congress, in accordance with a law enacted at the last session, are for a -vessel which will exceed the largest battleship afloat by 1,500 tons. The act at the last session required plans for a bat tleship to beaj powerful as any known naval vessel. The most powerful warship now afloat is the Dread nought, of the British Navy, which has a tonnage of 18,500 and ca.ries a main battery of ten 12-inch guns in five turrets, three on the center line and one in each broadside. The new battleship, tbe plans of which have been submitted to Con gress, will carry a main battery of ten 12-inch guns, arranged in turrets on the center line, and in this respect having an advantage over the Dread nought. This arrangement will per mit a broadside 25 per cent, greater than that of the big British ship. The secondary battery will consist of fourteen 5-inch rapid fire guns, to repel torpedo boats, and a number of smaller guns. The length of the ship is to be 510 feet, about 50 feet longer than the largest ship no inournavy, and with the enormous beam of 85 feet. The designs call for a speed of 21 knots. The cost of this powerful battleship will be about $10,000,000, exceeding that of the Dreadnought by $2,500,000. The opinion of naval experts as to the wisdom of concentrating sea pow er in this manner is not unanimous. Some believe it wise to have a greater number of smaller and lesscostly ves sels. Until two great navies engage in actual warfare the whole modern scheme of warships is more or less of an experiment. All of the engage ments which have taken place since the present type of naval vessels was adopted have been more on the order of target practice than battles. These engagements were those between Ja pan and China; the United States and Spain and Japan and Russia. In none of these wars was there any real re sistance to the victorious ships. While our naval constructors and shipyards have made marvelous advance since the beginning of the work of the corps of constructors of the United States Navy on the Texas in 1889, the British are far ahead of us in one particular, and that is in the rapidity of construction. The Dreadnought was completed within a year from the time the keel was laid. In. this country the building of battleship requires several years, and the cost is much greater than that of English ships of the same site.

Town Proposes lo Build Concrete Side-walks to Cost S40.00. Qaitonla Gazette. ' " j''?.'" .. ' In last Friday's issue The Gazette quoted a Gastonia citizen, as faying that this town might do well to adopt some such plan aa that inaugurated at Rock hill, S. C, for prohring concrete side-walka both in business and reaidential sections. ;;f In line with that suggestion. hich more than one Gastonian has spoken ot favorably, The Gazette copies be low from The Yorkville Enquirer of a recent -dal . .resume .of the.' 0an, Here it ia ; The commission appointed by the citv of Hock Hill to push through the side-walk ocheme recently adopted by the chamber of commerce and the tfity council, has outlined tbe proposed undertaking as follows : - i , ,4k', "From the best information he commissiun has at present, such ride? walks as are proposed will costonj Sr. 25 to $1.50 per Aquata-yatj; or from 76'to 85 cents per lineal foot. To be plainer, it may be stated that a five foot pavement will cost from $70 to $85 per hundred feet. Cheaper construction will, of course, cost much less than these figures,. but the com mission believes the best work is the cheapest in the end, add therefore has determined to have the work done thoroughly first-class and by experi enced contractors in this line, who will be required, if necessary, to give bond. The very lowest figures will be obtained, and if the estimates above noted can be reduced, the com mission will see that the people will get the benefit of it. The city council will pay for the work and allow the property owners to reimburse it in twenty semi-annual installments without interest. This will cover a period of ten years, and the semi-annual installment to be paid by one owning 100 feet front will therefore amount to $3.50 to $4.25, depending upon the final cost of having the work done. Perhaps installments will be less than the amount stated. The figures are ap proximate and are simply given as a matter of general information to prop erty owners. It, however, may be positively stated that the higher amount is well within tbecost. Those who desire to pay all cash down will be allowed a discount of 25 per cent. "The commission at its first meet ing appointed a number of citizens to circulate petitions among the proper ty owners residing on the various streets, and it urges these gentlemen to get to work at once and be ready to make their reports by December 1. They' will wait on no further notice from the commission. Their names and the streets to which they have been assigned will be published in the newspapers." SPOUT SPRINGS DOTS. Mr. N. A.

' 1 It has already been mentioned In The Times-Dispatch that Newport has returned -to the old New England town government system, and the first election under the new charter was held last week. According to one of our New England contempo raries, two principles are emphasized In the new plan, or, rather, the old plan revived. Administrative power Is concentrated In the Mayor and five Aldermen, much in the manor of the Galveston system; but there is also created a very large Council, com posed of 195 members, or thirty-nine from each of the wards. ; ' The charter provides that any voter may attond a 0ounell aeseion. and par: ticlpate in Its discussions, as In a town meting, although the voting pow er is confined to the 195 Council mem bers. It is also provided that every vote of the Council Involving an ap propriation ot $10,000 or more shall be tested by a popular referendum, if within seven days ot the Council's ac tion such a referendum Is requested by 100 voters at large and ten voter The Mayor and Aldermen are di rectly responsible to the Council, al though they are elected by the people. Ail Uher city officers, except the school committee, are chosen by the Council. - The. charter further provides that no party names or emblems shall ap pear on the official ballots in the city elections, the theory being that or dinary .politics has nothing to do with municipal housekeeping, and that can didates for city offices should be chosen on their personal merits and the merits of the municipal policies they embody. The prime object of the reform Is to restore Democratic government in its original simplicity, to arouse individ ual interest in affairs of local govern ment and to divorce municipal gov ernment from national and State poli tics. The theory is good, but In practice it will be next to impossible tu. elimi nate politics. Party lines are hard as prejudice to obliterate. Newport discovered this for her self In her first election under tlu new regime. True, no party cand dates were nominated, but both the demo cratic committee and the Republican committee were smartly in evidence during the campaign, and the malls were filled with circulars addressed to the voters urging the election of this or that party favorite. However, the newport experiment is worth watching. He Must Envy the Kaiser. When President Roosevelt read of the way in which his great and good friend, Kaiser Wilhelm, handled the German Reichstag, his anger must have risen at the battered old Con stitution of the United States, which contains no provisions for dissolving Congress when it fails to enact the will of the country's ruler. True, there is the public patronage, the national party committee and the Uig Stick to be used on rebellious Con gressmen, and these seldom fail to bring the Insurgents to terms. Hut the President seems to chafe under the idea that there should be any lim itation to his- power, even though it is a mere verbal expression in an an cient document that he seems to con sider entirely out of date. While most other nations are placing addi tional limitations on the power of rul ers, members of this Administration are urging centralization, which leads to one-man government. Like the horseleech's daughter, the President and his Cabinet are ever crying "more, more." From Mississippi. Correspondence of the Observer. MCHENRY, Miss., Dec. 19.

C, Dec. ntb, 1906. Mr. Editor: Thanksgiving day has passed in review and Christmas day is drawing near. The first mentioned is presu mably a day set apart annually for returning special homage to the Cre tor of all things for the manifold blessing that are flowing from His in exhaustible stores for their comfort, peace and happiness in this life and the hope inspired in that which is to come. Now it occurs to us to ask, is there an earnest resolve in this ado ? See the advertisements of the shrewd speculators i 'i fl nr. in;; colors in the columns of a i the religious and secu lar papers. Extraordinary efforts are put forth to further strip the already very poor and add to the stocks of those already in affluence. Give the glory to the great God by upholding our protective system against the paupers of the outside world, and on these annual occasions we wjjl allow you.a free lunch at the soup houses. Is that what the Great God meant when he instituted the golden rule? To me he said, "Ye are unprofitable servants; I am an independent God, but you I created free and equal; en joined you to obedience, to help one another, and not to prey upon one another; you can deceive one another, but I will know you; nothing will be plucked out of My hand, and My judgment will be just." Christmas will be celebrated along thesaine lines as Thanksgiving Day. As a rule the great rascals, who are stealing the common given to his creatures by the great author of tittle and space from under the foot of the silly goose, are the nlost conspicuous on these occasions, The great barba rous games will li? played baseball, football, pugilistic encounters, fire works of every sort, will be manifest on every hand ; autos, crowded with intemperate pleasure seekers, will be racing along the same streets where poor laiiK 1 clestrians, partially deaf and blind, uni he striving to cross, and a thousand . ii i r things will oc cur through carele .ssuess of the most criminal nature. All this will be given to the reading public by the reporters as accidents of the occasion, and the manufacturing of the imple ments of destruction will go on unin terruj' ed until the next occasion for using them. See the Rockefellers, Carney ies, J. P. Morgans and Ar mours, ns captains of industries, all charged with violations of common laws m me of them convicted and fined a paltry sum, but going on ith the same business at the old staud. It is said the meat packers arc .'till allowed to can garbage; RockefelU r is hammering down stocks to fon t the little ones to the wall or compel them to jump into the band wagon. And, now, we want to ask some one who is able and willing to answer : Did these corporations get a charter from the national or State governments to do whatever they are doing under specified rules, and if they have for feited their right to proceed by viola tion of the contract ? Is the State or nation powerless to annul that con tract? Is That so? Some crank startles the world once in a while by asking, is life worth living, or is marriage a failure ? Now, the answer to these questions depends on the honor of the contracting par ties. So with the privileges granted by the one and accepted and lived up to by the other nation or State on the one hand and the corporation or individual on the other. But so po tent a factor has money become that many of the advertisements inserted in the public prints are headed thus: Ginsing. $$ Swamp Root, Kodal, Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky, and cartoons representing old men, barefooted and barelegged, in knee breeches, footracing, and owing it all to the healthgiving elixir, pure cop per distilled.
