" - ' tr I i i- -i, i ; 1 THE COMMISSION PLAJi. , The commission form of govern ment seems to have caught the pop ular fancy and the next year or two will probably see it adopted in more than one North Carolina city. Ral eigh, Greensboro, Charlotte and per haps other cities are agitating the matter of changes in the municipal government of the respective cities - and in all the commission form or semi-commission form seems to have tne majority of advocates. In view of the agitation in this city the' fol lowing from tiie Greensboro Record will ba of interest here: "Action on the part of this city looking to a change in the form of government was to be expected. Lit tle has been said about it, though ever since the establishment of the board of education and the water and light commission, the authorities have 'seen how much more smoothly things have worked, observing which has led to thought of further or more complete action on this line. "Greensboro, as it. well known, was the first town in the state to es tablish a graded school. Its man agement was under the control of the board of aldermen and had it been leftthere many more years there would have been a riot. The trouble experienced almost drove the alder men crazy '.there was a Continual row.. The superintendent one day whipped a boy, the son of one of the aldermen, and maybe things were not hot! Things of this kind were always bobbing up arid there was no peace until the appointment of a board of education, to have sole control, was made. Only in recent years this step was' followed by a water and light commission and this has worked greatly to the advantage of the city financially, ami otherwise. A stated, these things led to the thought of a government by commis sion and properly worked Out tiie new idea will no doubt prove to be the best. It stands to reason that men cannot be expected to look strictly af ter matters requiring much time and more thought without the least re muneration, while at the same time their own business is neglected. The usual cry of creating more offices will be heard the ; expenditure of more money. It can be said that money is made only by spending money. If the right men are chosen and paid for their services, much more will be saved than is paid them. Thef waste in any business is a prob lem and without doubt there is more waste, more leaks, in any city govern ment than in anything else. It is an old saying that, when the cats are away the rats will play. The city has a large number of men on its payroll. Practically, wit j the exception of the water and light commission, there Is no head or boss over any of these men and time is wasted every dav for the want of a directing hand. "But" it all depends on what kind of men are secured to take these re sponsible positions. Practical, hon est, fearless men are needed; with these the commission plan will work out well: otherwise It will be a fail ure. Gentlemen with theories should be let alone to work out their own ideas at their own expense. We pre sume that before many days steps will be taken looking to a public meeting to discuss the question, but preliminary work was required so as to put the matter in shape, as an nouuced in this paper yesterday." WOBji OF COWARDS. ' Developments iu the trial of the Tennessee night riders, the alleged murderers of Captain Quentin Ran kin, reveal a state of affairs even more shocking than the brutal mur dor of Captain Rankin led one to sus pect. We thought perhaps when the shocking murder occurred that this was perhaps the only crime of that kind in that section and was the re suit of sudden passion arising from some grievance, real or imaginary, But the developments in this trial show that this gang of cut throats , undertook to regulate the affairs of every person In the community and that the murder of Captain Rankin , was not their first, crime by any . means. , Even domestic affairs tUey ; tried to regulate and the whipping of women and children Is one of the crimes charged, against them. What the outcome of tbt trlnl, or trials, j ... " .. ' will be no one can say. It would seem at this distance thai where those crimes were allowed to go so long without any attempt to punish, that it would be hard to get a jury- to convict. The only hope is that the better element of the community has been aroused to the frightful condi tions and that this aroused sentiment will find expression in the jury box. Commenting on the conditions the Baltimore Sun says: "The night rider stands out not as a vigilante, not as a Ku Klux pro tester agair&t injustice, but as cow ard, sulker, assassin. The trial at I'nion City, Tenn., has exposed him not only as tiie masked instrument of revenge, but as the 'terrorize:' of women and children. Brave in the protection of his dis guise, having the courage of num bers and the night, in the daylight of the courts he has shivered in pale fear when brought face to face with punishment and the law. "On the witness stand Mrs. Emma Jackson told how this murderous gang of masked men had in the night broken into her home and compelled herself and her 13-year-old-daughter to dress and go with them to see her father's home burned to the ground. They threatened to whip her, compell ed her to give up her sister's child, who was under her protection; whipped her aged father because hei testified before the grand jury, and threatened her with death if sue daed tell the authorities of what they had done. ': "In Tennessee, as in Kentucky and oher states, the night riders have left behind them a trail of burning home.; and barns, of crying women and mur dered men. And when the lignt is turned on tiiem we see not a band of brave men taking the law into their own hands to avenge real wrongs, but . a band of assassins who are as cowardly as they are criminal. The night rider is a menace and a dis grace to any section. No man or wo man or child is safe as long as he lives to carry, through the darkness. the torch of terror and the knife of tae assassin." JUDGE TIMBERL.AKE. Says the Greensboro Record: "The scramble for a successor to Judge Puruell is on in all its fury. How many candidates there; are we- do not know, but there are enough and they, are working as never be fore, for the position is for life . The republican party is a close corpora tion, however, and the successful ap plicant must have the endorsemnt of Mr. Carl Duncan, who, it is said, rep resents Judge Pritchard, the head of the organization iu the state. Fitness for the position seems to have been lost sight of: the predominant idea is to make an appointment that will do the party the most good. If the pres ident is conversant with conditions in the state it should not take him two minutes to make a wise and emi nently proper appointment, the se lection of a man at once qualified and one who would see justice done though the heavens fall. Every North Carolinian, except, perhaps, a few of those who want of fice, or would like to see the repub lican machine perpetuated, would like to see the best man the, party affords appointed as Judge Purnell's successor. We have no means of knowing to whom the Record refers for there is doubtless more than one who would "see Justice done though Most children eat too much, overtax the digestion, get thin, weak, languid, stop growing thatV malnutrition or non-digestion of food. Scott's Emulsion has helped countless thous ands in this condition. It is' both nourishment and medicine a most 'powerful aid to digestion. A small dose three times a day will work wonders, but be sure to get Scott's. paper In which it appear, your uUret and four I ccntt to coow putt-isr. and w will mm! you a "CoipteHailr Allatof taWorW n it SCOTT BOWNE. Am Frl .Stmt, htm York ' the heavens: fan,l)ut"or'our"ifart, we have no hesitancy in saying that we would like to see the appointment come to Judge E. W. Ttmberlake, of j Wake Forest. v. He at least is one man who ' will measure up . to the ' standard mentioned by the Record and is a gentleman eminently qual ified to fill the position. We belie v ; the appointment of no other man would give such general satisfaction- Will the editor of the Charlotte Obaerver go to Charleston to see the North Carolina "cross the bar?" Christmas was sompwhat blustery but we hope you had a pleasant day just the same. Now for stock-taking and getting ready for the beginning of the new year.' Medicine That is Medicine.
