It is powerful hard for some people- 10 recognize iairness wnen rtne snos begins to pinch.. Cold weather has its dreary aspects, fcut 'skeeters will stop zoonin' and flies will stop pesterin' bald headed men. The building of new railroads in the state means, among other things, more work for the corporation commission. Autumn has thrown the first splashes of gold .into the forest, and the carmine and Crimson colors are being mixed for tse. Business is said to be dull in Wall street. That may be so but it takes sharp man to figure in the handling of it. In throwing bombs the Chinese have Imitated the very worst thing they could find to imitate among all the na tions. A jay bird . filling a knot-hole with acorns, makes the man who does not try to lay up something for a rainy day look mighty small. Ifthe turbulent element in China becomes addicted to the use of dyna mite, a most appalling condition will exist in that great empire. Instead of losing time discussing the price of diamonds it now behooves the average newspaper man to cast about end see how much wood he can get on subscription. The Ohio Democrats are said to have begun the campaign "with a rush' Hope the guards and tackles and half backs and things wiU hold out. until the game is over.

Old; folks say that a bountiful crop Df acorns, persimmons and nuts is an Infallible sign of a severe winter. That l?ing so it Is time to begin to lay in a wpply of wood and coal, for the trees ire full. Editor Peterson of the. Lumberton Argue comes out like a man and con fesses frankly that he wants a chance to "rubber" at the president. And he's coming to the fair with the deliberate intent to do so. NOT; CRUEL, LUT JUST Te Charlotte Observer, In a recent roJtcence to Judge Thomas J. Shaw, said "he Is cruel as the grave." Judge Shaw has earned the reputation pf be ing fearless and stern, yet from an ac quaintance with him extending through a period of about twenty years, we know that he is not a cruel man. The riv.Qor.Trci - is mistaken. He has estab lished himself as a terror to evil-doers, is considerate' at all times, lenient to- ward first-offenders, ljut woe oe unco the ' habitual law-breaker who appears in the role of defendant before him. What is the law for? and what are the courts for? If men are not to be punished: for crime the laws providing penalties may as well be repealed. Judge Shaw is not cruel, but in our opinion he strives to be just. He has a Arm conviction that the laws should be so administered, or rather such ap plication of the law should be made by the judiciary, that men will con-, sider the consequence of . crime when about to commit it. We are at a loss to know how the Observer figures it out that Judge Shaw is "cruel as the grave." PROHIBITION AS IT IS PRACTICED It is a well established fact that laws are enforced in proportion to the de gree of public sentiment that is behind them. The Concord Times, in its last issue, referring to remarks made by Rev. E. 'K. McLarty, pastor of Central Methodist church of that city, said: The people of this town seem to be absolutely paralyzed so far as the en forcement of the prohibition law is con cerned. They sit supinely down while the law is violated a hundred times a day right under their noses. Violators have become so bold that they are al most openly defiant. It is a positive disgrace, and every citizen in town is responsible for it, in that he does not do his duty to change conditions. Let the people wake up from their danger ous sleep. Another paragraph in the same paper was as follows: The whisltey selling and whiskey drinking now going on in town is sim ply enormous, and the word prohibi tion is a delusion and a snare. This town has had a local option law for nearly twenty years, and for many years it was signally successful. Of late, however, it has been a farce and almost a dead letter. The reason is plainly apparent the people are asleep. When the people of Concord rise up and say illegal whiskey selling shall cease here, it will stop instantly. In any aspect of the question "eter nal vigilance" is the price of prohibi tion. We have heretofore known noth ing of the conditions in Concord, and do not propose to discuss conditions there now. But the same sort of report made by The Times is being made from other prohibition towns In the state. There is a reason for it. - What is it? - For the past twenty-five years this writer has watched the growth of tem perance sentiment in this state. Pro hibition has made progress by degrees. At first the localities were widely scat tered. As fast as a community was ready for it a united movement took ,place and ' the saloons were brushed aside. As long as this order of things was maintained all was well and the people were satisfied. Each locality felt an interest In upholding the law and prohibition was respected. The principle of local self-government was a live and effective force. However, sirce our legislature saw fit to outrage the principle of local self government, and pass laws that were away -in advance of public sentiment; in many communities, a lethargic condi tion has fallen in many other commu nities.. That this condition is the cause of indifference, and consequent blind tiger and blockade business, there can be little doubt. May not this have something to do with the "dangerous sleep" into which many people have fallen, and the reason they "sit supine ly, 'down while, the law is violated a hundred times a day right under, their noses?" What Is the correct idea of education? The Florida Times-Union .says it is "Mental training not mental stuffing. It should expand the mind, not crowd it. It is better to teach a boy to rea son than to know. The thinker will carry on his, education as long as he lives, and in the long run (and gen erally the run need not be very long) he will outstrip the man whose mind has been filled instead of being en larged.' All of which is well said and right to the point. The people of Raleigh and Wake county are glad to have Judge Justice here again. He is holding superior court here this week. The solicitor ex pressed the opinion yesterday that the criminal docket will run far into next week. The presiding judge is one of the most thorough and pains-takina: in the state, conservative and careful, yet firm In his decisions. ' Such men are always an honor to the bench. Senator Tillman's latest warm public utterance about those he charges with telling falsehoods on him, is beneath me ummiy or a ymted States, senator. and unworthy of a man uoon which il.. .I.' i- wm . . - ' such a high dtenitv has Wr, tmA Kut anmft rtf our newspapers have ptit themselves outside the realm ot consistent criticism by using similar language In regard to other things. ;-. ' m ' - Ex-Judge Sutton suggests that a board of pardons composed of men of both political parties would be the thing. Th idea is all right; but is it not a fact that the administration of all public affairs sould be free from partisanship? - i When a man rises so high in profes sional or other eminence that he thinks shafts of just' criticism cannot reach him, he should remember that the law of gravity wa3 merely discovered not made by man. All the conditions considered the higher price at which cotton has been selling (on an average) the past three years, is not such a boon to the farmer who does not raise his -own table sup plies at home. " -i THE GOVERNOR'S BURDEN A Solution of the Perplexing Pardon Question Suggested To the Editor of The Post: I have noticed in several newspapers, yours among them, the well-founded complaint of the press as to the great care, labor and responsibility placed upon the governor in disposing of the numberless and ever increasing appli cations for pardon and commutation of sentence. ; : I beg that you allow me space to suggest a plan which, I think, would in a great measure relieve the gover nor of this responsibility and incubus. If Is this: Let the next general assembly enact a law creating "an advisory board of pardons," consisting of three (or five) members to be named by the governor, from different sections of the state, east, west and center, and to be com posed of men in whom the governor and all the people have entire confi dence men of character and ability; and In order to remove their actions from the least taint or suspicion of favoritism, or partisanship, the board selected should be bi-partisan in their make-up. This board to meet quarter ly at the capitol, or oftener when re quired to do so, with the power vested in the governor' to call the board to gether at any time, by letter' or wire, should an emergency arise. This board should be charged with the duty of carefully and faithfully inquiring into the merits of each appli cation for commutation or '. pardon, hearing argument, etc., and, with their recommendations, report their findings to the governor. I am fully aware that every lawyer, beginning with the governor, on read ing these lines to this point, would say "Such an act would be unconstitu tional." Let us see. It will be observed that the bill is not intended to deprive the governor of ' any constitutionally vested right or prerogative, but merely to relieve him of the labor of search and Inquiry, for the board is only to report its findings and make recommendations. It takes no action does not pardon, commute or reprieve. It would be analogous to that of the legislative committees, ju-, diciary and the like, who Investigate the bills referred to them, and report, with their recommendations; and the legislative body in that case, nor the governor in this, are neither bound" by the recommendations, and may adopt or reject them, thus leaving the gov ernor with his constitutional power to act upon the recommendations made, or not, at his pleasure. It simply re lieves him of a great burden. Some years since, while a member of the legislature, I drew a bill of this character and submitted It to Governor Scales, the then executive, and it met with his hearty approval and sympa thy, and he also said it was in that character .free from constitutional ob jections, and Governor Scales was a profound constitutional lawyer. He further said it was the' thing which was greatly needed at that time; and t goes without saying, "' if needed then, with our increase of population and crime, it Is vastly more needed now. For one reason or another, this bill met its doom on. account of objections of one kind or another, and eventually found its resting place in the "parlia mentary pigeon-hole," where so many good and bad ones before and since are quietly slumbering. It is a meas ure that occurs to me is greatly needed at this time, and I make the sugges tion simply tor what it is worth. THOMAS H. SUTTON. Fayetteville, N. C., Sept. 26. A New Chapter in the Story (Charlotte Chronicle.) The story of the corporations and the election funds becomes more inter esting, the further it is unfolded. It now develops that the corporations at first opposed Roosevelt and favored Parker, but campaign developments stampeded them finally to Roosevelt. Bryan's support of Parker was the main thing that turned them from him. A Washinertnn the Baltimore Sun, exposes the whole IlalIway in the Passenger department business. After reciting the causes of he6' V . ' the .opposition to Roosevelt, he says f ' Guy Feruson J?as4 been appoint that the Belmonts had inaugurated a ed t0 succeed Mn J" A' Gorham as strong movement in the south In favor manaSer of Bradstreefs local agency, of Parker For n0 r.0o l and arrived yesterday to assume his j because of the identification of Judge marker wit& -e Belmonts-it was con- eluded that Jaage Parker would be the man " to nominate and elect Mr J P Morgan, it was fT,' a ' , ness associates in Finrnno that t j velt's nomination rnnM nt k U, ed. but that ho " - kw ucicaicu cl L : the DOllS. K- rfvrvrTTarl , tht .Tnn t. . r.;V ul T " j. o.Ati numu ( ue inenaiy to the corporation interests : which tooseveit threatened to antagonize. and that the nomination and election of Parker could be brought about. This information was conveyed to some of I If H T 111 - Xiuuaevea s earnest supportersvand alS men Proinlnent in the Bryan IL . .IT " r 'wuc party, the resoa being that some .of Mr. .Bryan's friend who had been In Ha ver' of jpaxKers nommauon iunwu and opposed him. - Mr. Bryan's op position to Parker's nomination may have been on account of this. Before the meeting of the Demo-oratlc-convention, however, something happened to convince the captains of corporations thaj -arKer was . iuj "safe man" they had thought him to be, and they became almost desperate ? in their efforts to prevent nis tion. It was intimated that from their point' of view he would be "even worse than Roosevelt," and that if the Dem- ocrats would nominate anyone except mKer or Bryan me rawiBy WUUIU furnished for Roosevelt's defeat. Mr. Perkins, understood to be acting for Mr. Morgan, was particularly active in this propaganda. When Parker was nominated and some further light was thrown on the situation, Mr. Bryan became an earn- est worker for his election and the captains of corporations all tumbled over into the Roosevelt camp, not necessarily because they thought any better of Roosevelt than they had before, but because they had discover - ed something about Parker which made them fear him "even more than Bryan" and because, it was said, Root might be able to hold Roosevelt down. Mr. Roosevelt's impulsive suggestion about returning the money received from the corporations is im practicable and is not well received anywhere, but the President may find it In his power to do more for the corporations and the trusts than they fAnroVi ParifPr would do for him. This coQ 0nnmt wa have ouoted. suggests that "he must keep the office, however humiliating may be the thought that such methods were em ployed (without his knowledge) to pro cure it for him, but he might apologize to Judge Parker for the heat of his reply to the charge of corporation campaigning, and join the judge, and others who want to improve political methods, in an effort to put an end to the use of corporation funds to cor rupt politics." POINTED PARAGRAPHS T (Chicago News.) Poverty A grindstone for sharpen ing wits. Love is a more or less troublesome case of heart trouble. Some men attempt to cure the blues by painting things red. Excessive politeness is seldom on speaking terms with truth. Beauty is apt to be one woman's thorn in another woman's flesh. In the hands of some people the pen is more dangerous than the sword: Somehow a married woman is un able to forget that her husband is made of dust. A man always dislikes another man who attempts to act as smart as he does. . Paradoxical though It may seem, the cradle of the deep is on top of the ocean's bed. When a young man begins to spout hot air it's up to the wise girl to turn on a cold wave. In most caa-es a man seems to think that his wrongs begin almost Imme diately after his wedding rites. : ' In the beginning woman may have been merely a side Issue, but with most men today she seems to be the main subject. The man who borrows trouble, un like the one who borrows money, is always ready to pay it back with In terest and then some. , In Praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy "Allow me to give you a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mr. John Kamlett, of Eagle Pass, Texas. "I suffered one week with bowel trou ble and took all kinds of -nedlcine without getting any relief, when my friend, Mr. C. Johnson, a merchant here advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose I felt greatly relieved and when I had taken the third i?ost was entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great remedy In the hands of mankind."
