The Charlotte Observer, in a care fully nrepared editorial, discusses the "Railways and the Public, and deals specifically with the matters of railroad ! Buitor Caldwell, legislation which will be taken up ana considered by the general assembly of North Carolina next year. Tho Ob server is rightly regarded as the most ably edited newspaper In North Caro- duceil u that can oe don Una, When it deals with matters of state Importance we are impressed with its wisdom and its fairness, and in the editorial in question we find much which suits us and much which doea not. However, we know that its motives are best, and above all things we know that it doea not belong to that class of newspapers which assail corporations simply to pander to dem agogues and the depraved taste. So we quote at length from its issue of Wednesday: The railroad question will bulk large before the next legislature. Persistent efforts have been and are being made to create prejudice against the rail road corporations, especially the South ern, in the minds of the people, and if the legislation enacted against them should be the outgrowth of such preju dice as exists or may be engendered, they will be the victims of grave in justice. It is important o the cause of right that legislators approach the Various propositions affecting the rail roads With minds free of bias, and wholly able to act with fairness upon facts as they may be developed; that this action be not upon the ex parte statements of enemies, prompted by malevolence, nor Upon the one-sided argument of demagogues seeking pop ularity, nor yet upon the urging of even sincere men who may be the un conscious victims of an unfair bent of mind. It is equally important, of course, that no legislator who wants to do right should fall under railroad lnlluence, accept the worse for tlie bet ter reason, and allow It to control his vote against the public interest. The public, which has granted them large privileges, should be protected from unjust exactions and ill treatment oth erwise by these corporations; yet it is to be. remombered that they are neces sary to the people, and that to hamper them unduly or to cripple them, will be to the injury of those in whose name such adverse legislation is en acted. They should be regulated, but protected; compelled to discharge their obligations to th3 public but not handicapped with laws born of a spirit of hostility. There will be propositions to reduce passenger fares. They are too high and should be reduced we may not say how much. This is one of the subjects that will call for grave consideration; for marshaling facts as to receipts from passengers and the cost of oper ating passenger truing; for figures as to passenger rates in states of ap proximately the- same population as North Carolina; for all facts which would Illuminate the subject. Because the present tirst -class rate of 3 1-4 cents a mile is niori than it should bi ts not a reason why it should he cut below the living point, it will be the part of wise legislation to find where that Is and to tlx a figure a, HUh' above It in order to afford a profit on the business. But the Observer is not satisfied with Interstate and intrastate freight rates. Few of us are. It does not see how freight can be shipped from New Or leans to Lynchburg more cheaply than from New Orleans to Charlotte, but it can hardly forget the matter of water competition which is the basis of all rate-making where water Is within reach. The most serious fault that the Ob server finds in North Carolina, is, as it claims, that the product of the furni ture manufacturing establishments at High Point can be shipped to New ' York and back to Elizabeth City at a cheaper rate than from High Point to Elizabeth City direct. If it had taken the trouble to investigate that, we doubt if the charger would have been made. The Observer, too, must ifitiem- ' ber that the furniture manufacturer would much prefer n rate b-v which he could serve the entire country to a rate vsimply for North Carolina. The High Point man is not making furniture for North Carolina. He could not live one day on that trade alone and If we seek lrtformation from him we would fina that he isnot complaining. What are the facts as to that New Tork-Eltzabeth City tariff? The rate from High Point to Elizabeth City, all rail, on furniture Is 50 cents per hundred pounds; less than car-load lots 57 cents. The rate from High Point to New York, all rail, is 49 cents per hundred pounds; less than car-load lots 62 cents. This looks like discrimina tion. But to the manufacturer It is not, and the Industry has been built up by the aid of the railroads. The New York rate is made by competition with the trunk lines In the west to put Hish Point on a parity with Grand Kanids. The Grand Hupids rate to New- York is made on a basis of lake and canal transportation, when, as a matter of fact, the product goes by rail. So while this appears to be un just, there would be no factories at High Point if conditions were other wise. The Observer makes its strong posi tion undignified by taking small things into account when dialing with a very broad subject. In Its effort to show that it wanted to be fair and independ ent we are afraid thai it leans just a lllllc too far toward the stand taken by others and a stand which has called forth its denunciation. The railroads have done a wonderful work in this state. They naturally want all they can get. and often it seems that they trample upon the rights of the people, although they are not as had as they have been painted by snarling editors. however, is not one of them, This newspaper believes with the Observer that passenger rates, particu larly on the main lines, should be re- witliout im pairing the service. We do not know what rates would be fair, but we do claim to know that a swoeping reduc tion to two cents or two and one-hall cents would be ruinous if made to ap ply to every branch of every system running through a sparsely settled sec tion. In January the legislature will take up this subject and others. In a ses sion of sixty days, with the volume of other work, it cannot with fairness ad just the Intricate question of railroad rates. If this is to he its mission it ought to abolish a department of the state Government which is costing a considerable sum of money every year. The government of the United States has just turned over to a commission the matter of rate-making and at its last session of unlimited length it could not and did not attempt to settle the problem. How, then, can the legis lature of North Carolina do as much in sixty days when It dare not meas ure its brains against the brains of the congress of the United States'.' out ?

Bone, for many years man aging editor of the Washington Post, id shortly to begin the publication of a new morning paper in the capital. Washington has a number of line news papers, but Washington had few news paper men of Mr. Bone's ability.

For the information of the charlotte Observer we might say that a Gate City is like a one-card draw in a poker game. It might he a winning hand or a stupendous attempt to bluff.

It would be line and refreshing. What North Carolina Demands. Governor Glenn has under consid eration a request that a conditional pardon be granted to Sudle Hannan, the young white girl who went to the penitentiary yesterday to begin a sen tence of five years; She shot and kil led a man who was attempting to en ter her room, and If she shot to defend her honor no jury in North Carolina would have convicted her. Therefore, the conditions, or the evidence, must have been such that the court was un willing to acquit her. At the moment we are not familiar with the details of the ease and sve shall express no opinion on th With those two jobs to his credit wi fail to see how Kdilor-l'ost inast, i Douglas will be able to spond the money if he has to remain at home. Now that Mabel Oilman, the actress, says she wilt not become his wife, Mr. Corey, the steel king, understands Un meaning of the double cross. When the Pittsburg man talks about the low morals of tho Now York man we are reminded of that old saw about the black pot and the blaek kettle. Since the close of the Haitje case the city of Pittsburg is preparing to give its Official attention to the condi tion of the sewers. "Hereafter better meat," remarks the mercial.

Since the coming the drought seems to away. of the dog days have been washed Secretary Cheatham can now late on bis own account. Thirteen years ago I tool; three weeks treatment at the Keeley In stitute for the disease of drunken ness. For more thaniO years before I took the Keeley Cfffe I had been a constant drinker. I had gone so far that none of. iffy acquaintances had hopo that there was anv earthly re demption for me, but finally, at the suggestion of a friend, 1 agreed to go to Keeley.?r?We had no money, but, as luck would have it, a neigh bor agreed to lend us the necessary amount. We gave him a mortgage on our little place and off I started for Keeley, feeling about as low in spirit and as blue as any poof mor tal over felt. I knew, however, that something must be done or all was lost, so I stuck to my resolution to try it. At the Keeley Institute I was treated most courteously by the officers, manager and physician, They were all deeply in earnest. They were so kind, so considerate, so pa tient and took so much interest in all the patients that I soon began to grow more cheerful: and thill aw ful despondency, which had hung like a mill-stone about my neck, he Kan to leave me. I grew stronger and stronger each day, and eaeh day my faith in Keeley became more steadfast. I left the Institute a new mail, thoroughly new. Four years work as store-keeper and ganger at a government still did not tempt me, and from that day to this good hour i have neither tasted nor desired to taste intoxicating liquors of an) de scription, I paid off the mortgage on our little place and we now enjoy all the comforts known to our com munity, besides have a snug little sum in bank for a rainy day. My wife say:- that Keeley saved us front everlasting ruin, and I well know that what she says is as true as gos pel. If all men who are afflicted w.'th the disease of drunkenness only knew the merits of the Keeley Cure they would pour into Greensboro by train loads. W. F. THOMPSON. Lexington, N.

At the proper time Governor Glenn will net and he ought not to be criticised for what he does. But there is another side of the case and one which should have the care ful attention of the executive. . That is the Imperative need of a reformatory for youthful criminals. It might believing j consent of all the stockholders, de guided in I posited in my office, that the Home Turpentine Refinery, Incorporated, a corporation of this State, whose principal office is situated at No. . ., Street, in the city of Ra leigh, County of Wake, State of North, Carolina (J. R. Chamberlain being the agent therein and in charge thereof, upon whom process may be served), has complied with the re quirements of Chapter 21, Revisal of 1905, entitled "Corporations," preliminary to the issuing of this Certificate of Dissolution: Now, therefore, I, J. Bryan Secretary of State of the be Grimes well for the governor to investigate along that line and urge the establish ment of the reformatory in his next message to the general assembly. He should not only urge it but he should work and fight for It. No matter what tile governor decides ill this Hannan ease it is his duty to impress upon the legislature of the state the importance of providing a half-way place for the criminal young a place half-way between the peniten tiary and freedom. The Evening Times received a letter from a subscriber in a small North Carolina town today in which the fol lowing appears: "I hope you will keep on sending the Times for it is the best paper I ever read. But I cannot pay for it, for I have to work today to pa; for what I ate yedtierday." We are sorry that we "cannot keep on sending it," because , this newspaper isn't printed for free circulation. Our friend doubtless finds that he cannot eat today unless the meTchant,"knows he will pay for it tomorrow, but that is a mighty poor rule for the merchant and his customer. The friendly mosquito has begun presenting his bill to those who are not particularly anxious to pay him just now.
