President Wilson has shown by his quiet and firm manner in which he is guiding the reins of our government that he is one of the greatest men as well as the brainiest that has ever occupied the presidential chair. Before his inauguration Mr. Wilson had outlined plans for some very radical legislation. In present ing his first and subsequent mes sages to Congress he made his plans clear to that body of states men, and everyone could see that he knew what he was talking about. The tariff bill and the currency bill were both the di rect outcome of the recommen dations made by the president in his personal messages to Con gress. "Legislation is a busi ness of interpretation, not of orignation," is a favorite maxim of the president and he has made a deep and careful study of the sentiments of the American people, to bring this legislation about in such a manner that will be to the best interests of our nation. After the passage of the currency and tariff laws. Mr. Wilson has now turned his at tention to the trusts, and the anti-trust law will be the next great law to be passed by Con gress, acting on his recommen dations. The sound and deliber ate polices which characterize Mr. Wilson's administration are carried out in the following points made in his recommendations for anti- trust legislation: 1. Effectual prohibition of the interlocking of the directorates of great corporations—banks, railroads, industrial, commercial and public service bodies. 2. A law to confer upon the inter-state commerce commission the power to superintend and regulate the financial operations by which railroads are hence forth to be supplied with the money they need for their proper development and improved trans portation facilities, The presi dent made it clear that "the prosperity of the railroad and the prosperity of the countrv are in separably connected" in this re gard. 3. Definition of "the many hurtful restraints of trade" by explicit legislation supplementary to the Sherman law. 4. The creation of a commis sion to act as clearing house oi information in helping business to conform with the law. 5. Provision of penalties and punishment to fall upon individ uals responsible for unlawful business practices. 6. Prohibition of holding com panies and a suggestion that the voting power of individuals hold ing shares in numerous corpora tions might be restricted. 7. Giving to private individuals the right to found suits for re dress on facts and judgments proven in government suits, and providing that statute of limita tions should run only from the date of conclusion of the govern ment's action. Commenting on his recent message Congress to the New York Wosid says: "His programme involves no new and startling exercises of governmental power. It involves no| dangerous centralization of authority. It-involves no care less experimentation with theo riea born of ioose and wayward thinking. It creates no respon sible bureaucracy with the power of Jife and death over the busi ness of the country. Mr. Wil son is not working under a new nationalism but under the old nationalism, and he is employ ing the powers and precedents of that old nationalism to carry in to effect the principles upon which he came into office." Mr. Wilson not only suggests, but practically commands his viewsjto be carried out in legis lation. This may look to some as a tyranical form of government but such is not the case. He knows what the wishes of the people are, and he has grit and stability enough to see that legis lation benefitting the great mass of people is carried out; and he is doing this in such a manner as to cause only a minimum of dis turbance to the intricate work ings of the financial system of our country. i Paid For by Dogs, i Charlotte Observer. Mr. George F. Ivey, sec retary and treasurer of the Southern Desk Compa ny at Hick ory, sends the Observer a copy » of a letter which his factory re » ceived frem Dr. H. L. Souther -1 land, chief health officer of Bolivar County, Mississippi Mr. Ivey thinks we mißht find in it r materia! for an editorial, and after reading the letter we think ; so, too. Doctor Southerland says that the board of commis , sioners of that county are to meet on the 19th and spend $3,- > 300 on school house furnishings. > He wants the Hickory concern ■ to send samples in competition ; with other firms for an order made up of about 200 double 5 desks, a number of single desks, i blacirboards, teachers' desks, re » citation benches, window shades I and other school house furnish ings. The point, however, most worthy of passing along to the ' people of North Carolina is that ■ the $3,300 which this Mississippi j county will expend in furniture . for its school houses, was raised (. from a tax levied on the dogs of that county. If each county in : this State would do the same, - our school houses might be sup ■ plied with an equipment equally . as good. Bolivar County, Miss., is leading the way. It is a good idea to make the dogs pay for " furnishing the school houses. " Building Laws. » The recent decision of the Su i preme Court of North Carolina in i State against Lawing is of State ' wide interest and of the greatest importance. It affects every 1 city and town in the State, and 1 says the State, city, and town r regulations govering buildings f in their erection and inspection can and should be enforced. The ' Chief Justice, in his able opinion, - not only says that the frame 2 buildings cannot be erected or t repaired in the fire district, but shows the great value of this to the city and its inhabitants. Let every chief of fire depart - ment and building inspector in 3 North Carolina get busy and en a force the law. The Supreme s t Court says it is a good law and can be enforced, and that the 3 protection of life and property calls for it. The old shacks must Q go, to be replaced by buildings that are not a menace to other i property, but a credit to the city as well as the owner. The Insurance Department is having the opinion of the Court e in State against Lawing printed J in pamphlet form, and will take 1 pleasure in furnishing a copy to s ail who nay desire it.
