That there is too much legislation foa lamentable fact not be gainsaid with any regard for truth. It is painfully apparent as the sessions pass one into another that the etutute books become burdened with statu tory requirements and prohibitions to which neither the public officials noc people pay the Blightext. regard, and much of this improvident enact- ment is so absurd and mischievous that disregard of it can scarcely be imputed to an intelligent public as a heinous offence. But if the practice of improvident legislation is to go on as of late, government itself will soon come into disrepute and the habit of non-observance will grow into eon tempt of all law. A member of the General Assembly who would arro gate to himself the thanking job of a censor and obstructionist of foolish and unnecessary measures would make himself verv uiiDooulur with the majority of his colleagues but he would ever deserve the graditude of the public. Whether he would ever r'Mp that reward i- another matter. If, however, he should essay the role ot actual executioner to the Solons who father improper bills, he would soon find himself oppressed by lone liness, lie would be in the fix" of the conqueror who made a wilderness of Poland and called it jeace. Even a suffering public can have nothing but sympathy for the tele graph operators whose fruitless strike has just been declared off. Their last state is much worse than their first, as many are forced to give up lucrative occupation for one less profitable, their places having been already filled.- The strike was ill advised and worse managed, and a predestined failure because of it.

In a certain western town lives a gentleman whose name is William Dollar. They call him Dollar Bill when they get funny. But Mr. Dol lar is' a dignified, enter prisingt good citizen. Xot every Dollar Bill is a good citizen. Manv of them are prone to ignore the claims of their own community and run away to a big city to be spent- Many millions of Dollar Bills have left the smaller towns for the overgrown cities this present year of our Lord. How many Dollar Bills have gone out of THIS TO WX left home and gone to some big pity, never to return ? Every time a Dollar Bill leaves town it takes a two-cent stamp with it, for it goes to a Mail Order Store. That helps the postmaster a little, but it doesn't help the local merchant. It mean3 just so much less trade for him. Which means just so much less cash circulat ing in this community. Which means just so much more social and business stagnation. Which means the stunting of the town's growth just to that extent. If vou could figure up the Dollar Bills that leave town in this'secret manner, like taking French leave which you cant you would know just hoAV much the town is stunted bv indulgence in this mail order stunt. If these Dollar Bills were really good and enterprising citizens they would stay at home and circulate around, help ing things along. How many of YOUR Dollar Bills take the midnight express out of town on the Envelope Route ? ) g Farewell to Milkmaid . Washington Herald. One by one the roses drop and die, and one by one the more cherished of our institutions give waj' to the pressure of modern commercialism. Today ses this new invention and that; tomorrow will see even more wonderful things than today. We do confess, however, that we re gret to hee the tune-honored po-n- cally ide;dizeL and sentimentally im- bjilmed individual, th1 milkn.Mi I, abolished aud s?nt at naught- f'f evermore. And yet this is just what has happened. Some enterprising gentleman has invented an instru ment that is a combination of rub ber tubes, asceptic bucket, and glans graduate- which milks th cows by means of an electric current and quite independent of any individual. All you have to do is to place the thing wherrf it belongs, press the button, and it does the rest so quickly and so satisfactorily that the users are won dering how they ever got along with- out it all these years This is till verv well if it didn't de prive us of our friend, the milkmaid. One of the first songs we learned was "Where Are You (Joing, My Pjetty Maid?" The song forms part of the foundation upon which hundreds of the day dreams of youth are build. The milkmaid, whose face was her fortune, is one of our juvenile ac quaintances whose image never quite fades from our heart. And now shi must go. We cannot teach our chil dren the song and never hope to illustrate it in real life again. Pans, rubber tubes, aseptic buckets and the like are poor substitutes for this maid of whom we have heard so much and thought so well in the long ago. Hut there is no use setting your face against the tide. The end of the milkmaid's glorious and honorable reirn is at hand. Henceforth she is to be a memory and a song.

R climt nl Times-DLspatoh. Judge Scovel, of Chicago, recently discharged a prisoner of his court who had committed an offense while drunk, on the ground that when sober he was a man of good morals and good character. According to the report of the case iu the public print the court laid down the doc trine that since persons are irrespon sible when intoxicated aud often do things which thev would never be guilty of in a sober condition, the fact of intoxication "may properly be taken into consideration bv a court" in determining not merely the sever- ity of the punishment, but the need of any punishment whatever. Here is more of the doctrine of personal irresponsibilitj. A man de liberately befuddles his brain and blunts his moral sensibilities by fill ing himself with mean whiskey, and while in that condition does bodily injury to a tellovvman or commits a more heinous crime; then pleads that he is not legally responsible for his act, because he was not intellectually or morally responsible when the of fense was committed. If that be a sufficient plea in court the man who wishes to commit crime need only to take a drink in advance, simulate drunkenness, "accomplish his purpose, then throw himself upon the tender mercies of the court on the plea of temporary irresponsibil ltv, and all will be forgiven. In the name of manhood and the public safety, haven't we had enough of this brain-storm foolishness? We should either kick the cowardly and contemptible plea out of court, or put all rational men on notice and iet them arm and prepare to defend themselves from the' irresponsible class The Stories in the January Idea."

I. - - lear to an Put up the Bars Against Undesira ble Immigration. Raleigh Times. The Times has often expressed its opposition to the opening of the doors of the country, especially in North Carolina and the south, to a class of foreign immigration whose coming into our "midst" must have but one result. Senator Lattiraer.who went abroad to study the immigration question, has come back with views. He says if this country is to preserve its civili zation it will have to put up the bars and shut out a great part of this flood riumanity that is pouring in upon us. There are several thinirs that he will recommend: Let no one in who cannot read aud write; require immi grants to bring certificates of good character from some officer corres ponding to our clerks of court; not allow over oO.OOO immigrants from any one country in a year. these are reasonable suggestions.

Asa moral questionthere is no doubt of t he policy. As an eco nomic proposition, we might trv for a while to see if we cannot get along better with intelligent , than cheap labor. The senator inquired of Sicily and other regions, what had become of the brigands that once infested those lauds, and he was told they had all gone to the United States. That is a very probable story, in view of the rumor of the Mafia, the Black Hand and the anarchists that fill the newspapers. Our country has been exceedingly generous to all peoples. but it has discovered that it is best to be discriminative, not so much as to race, as to individuals. We should draw a line at indiscriminate immi gration, and even at this there should be sorne limitation upon the quantity. This is an asylum for the oppressed and unfortunate of the earth, but we should take care and not spoil the asylum. In leasing Magdalena bay to the United States for a coaling station, Mexico has shown a friendly spirit that will be appreciate. As Mexico has no navy, it will be comforting to the people there to have a few big American warshms stoo now and then, anfof course, we would not auow any territory grabbers to inter fere with our friendly neighbors, for Mexico will one day'be a part of us in one way or another.

Cut 0a! tfes Gun Fcr tU Bsy. Kaleigh Timo , When you select your Christmas for the ''kids," foDd father, pass over the gun for the boy. Just simply don t buy a pun for your boy. and don't allow him to carry or ase one till he arrives nt maturer years. - If you lived in a newspaper omce and necessarily became advertent to the large and evt-r Increasing number of accidents and casualties. due to boys carrying guns, you'd cut your boy's gun out without hesi tation. That is why we are adver tent to these tragedies so heart rending usually, for in most cases it is some one dear to the boy who is killed or wounded that is why we are taking time to give you this ad vice at this particular season. A grave responsibility is assumed by those parents who intrust fire arms to sons who have not reached the age of maturity and prudence. Were a little more vigilant super vision exercised in this respect there would be less of sadness and mourn ing to be endured as the consequence of foolishness and carelessness on the part of boys with guns. An instance which should afford a striking lesson occurred in a neigh borhood city on Thanksgiving Day. Four lads went hunting with two shot-guns. Two of the boys were seventeen and eighteen years of age, respect ively, while the third was but fifteen and the fourth a mere baby of thir teen. A stumble on the part of one carrying a gun resulted in an ex plosion that caused the death of a companion. The one kulsd was seventeen years od, while the guu which exploded was carried by the youngest in the party. Ouns even m the hands of experts are dangerous things at best, and; the annals of the hunting season nrel always filled with chronicles of mcu brought to an untimely death through accident or carelessness. Boys have no business with guns, aud parents should exercise greater care. The general public is always iu danger at the hands of a youth witu a gun, and an observance of the law of common safety should require mac boys seek their amusement through a less daugerous medium than firearms. The number of boys who habitually carry pistols would be surprising could an investigation be made. Boyhood, fired to a love of the masculine and the heroic through a perusal of the accomplishments of Dead wood .Dick, instinctively turns to the,, revolver. Everyone wluijiaw ever! been a boy knows that.and there. caii scarcely be a man who does not recall the time when he carried a pistol about with him in hisyouthful days and attributed to . himself the stern qualities out of which heroes are made in dime novels. Boys are to be discouraged in such practices, however, not only for the common safety but for the protection ot themselves and their unsuspect ing famliies. Why the Sudden Change. Wilmington Messenger. For some unexplained reason the State eeems to have lost all interest in what the Southern had been payintr out as compaign contributions and to the sup port ot tne newspapers. Durham Her- aia. We are along with the Herald in our amazement at the sudden change of the attitude of the State's repre sentatives as to the heretofore great interest displayed by the counsel and some of those backers in the ques tion oi what the southern has been paying out for campaign pur poses ior toe support oi newspa pers and in the way of the free passes i-o otuie uuiciaia anu politicians. For awhile there was a great howl from the anti-railroad camp. The crowd there demanded that all the light 6hould be turned on. It wanted the name of every man who had ever ridden on a free pass issued bv the Southern, it wanted Colonel Andrews forced on the stand to tell all he knows. Colonel Andrews was, amid a great blowing of trumpets, and beating ot drums, subpoenaed as a witness. The whole State was wait ing to hear what astounding revela tions he would make. It was expect ed mat ne would, by his admissions, swamp the case for the railroads in the rate suits. He was going to be iorced to give most damaging testi mony against his own side testi mony that would show the rotten ness of the railway systems in this btate and their meddling m politics. ix-1 . neu 10 was announced tnac tne "counsel whom the Governor had em ployed to represent the Stats's at torney general m t he rate case had successfully served the process of the I .

No one knows, but the natural supposi tion is that the counsel whom the Governor employed to represent the State's legal counsel found that it would not do to put the Colonel on the stand that were it to do so he might say soraethinr which would make some one now or heretofore high up in power feel uncomfortable and that therefore it was best to drop the subject; therefore the law yers whom the Governor employed to advise his constutionally ap pointed legal adviser, the attorney general, deemed it best to keep Col onel Andrews off the stand. W hat a disappointment this is to the people. I hey want to hear what V ice-Fresi-dent Andrews has to say, and they do'not think that the attorney gen eral's law advisers should have so abruptly closed Ihe case for the State.

Sold by Kerner-McXair Co iphe Kaiser's Christmas. TD' EQUABLY no European court sires Christmas presents on so If extended a scale as the kaiser's. I. very one gives presents to ev er' one else, and for weeks before Christinas secret inquiries are made about the most suitable gifts to be stow. The empress and her seven chil dren mysteriously dash about Berlin and rorwdatu, visiting Jewelers, tor- shops and other establishments where something new or striking is to be had. Mnd ihey hold a levee every morning ot tradesmen whom they Lave no time to visit, o The kaiser does no shopping him self, but he is the greatest Christmas box giver of all, and his presents iu Tery case exactly fit the desires of tho happy recipient Early In December he makes n list of the persons to whom be Intends making presents, nis wife heads the list, and at the foot Is usual ly rone old pensioner or Invalided housekeeper who has served the Ho henzollerns for half a century.

Ills majesty tills his pockets when he goes walking in the parks nt Potsdam, and the little children and old men and women who are fortunate enough to meet him or soldiers standing sentry, stamping In the snow, are certain of a gift, accompanied not infrequently by a joke. The - kaiser's best side is seen at Christmas. There is a story current that once near the palace of Bans Soucl the kaiser came upon a half frozen sentinel with very red nose and eyes. The sentinel, w:h stlfT fingers, brought his rifle to the salute. "Cold day," said his majesty. The Eontinol did not reply, but his teeth .-nattered. "How long have you been on dutyV lsked the kaiser. Still no reply. "Stupid!" said his majesty. "Wh don't you speak when 1 address youT' The sentinel moved his jaws and lips, hut no word escaped. The kaiser burst out laughing and. turning to his ad jutant, said: "Take this chap into the palace, put him before a fire, thaw him out, par ticularly his jaws. Bee he gets a big hot drink and a big feed, and, here," turning to the sentry, "take this and drink my health and the empress'!" The soldier found voice at last. He bellowed out the one word "Majes tact!" The empress Is always practical with her gifts. Every year her majesty grows more popular among the best el ements of the people. Her unassuming ways, entire freedom from hauteur, consideration for servants and kindly lii'.erest In the welfare of the poor and he'pless endear her in ever widening circles of'Gcrmans. She is fond of pre senting ladles with costly lace. The young princes, headed by the crown prince, show little discrimina tion in their gifts scarf pins, rings, doxs, cigarette cases, matchboxes, and so on, being their staple gifts, varied sometimes by a book, a picture or a statuette. Victoria Louise's gifts of dolls to her friends are numerous. To favored friends she does not mind pre senting kitchen rnnges and furnished dolls bouses.
