Greensboro stole a march on Char
lotte yesteraay Dy ' putting in a oia
lor the state capitol. But In after
fears, when the Charlotte papers re
fer to the matter. It will be strange
if they do not speak of it as the time
"when there was talk of moving the
capitol to Charlotte."
. The other day in one of the west
ern states, we do not now recall
which one, some one introduced a
bill in the legislature requiring peo
ple who used intoxicants to have a
license, ttye license fee being J5.0U.
Now Mr. Morton, of New Hanover,
comes forward with such a require
ment for this state. He introduced
bis bfll in the house yesterday.
Vice President Fairbanks, It is
said, will become a fruit farmer in
California. For some time he has
owned a half interest In 225 acres of
land not far from Los Angeles and
now he has bought the other half at
an outlay of 70,000. What we can't
understand about it is, what a man
with that much money wants with a
fruit farm.
There es, and has been, some agi
tation in favor of moving the institu
tion for the blind out to the suburbs,
. where more room can be found. It Is
contended that the institution is al
ready cramped in its present quar
ters andythat there Is no further
"rdoTinoYSgrowth as the demands on
the Institution become greater. We
do not know as to this, but it is prob
ably true that if more room Is not
already needed for expansion, it will
be soon. We understand that mem
bers of the legislature are now look
ing into the subject and the matter
of removal to larger grounds may be
agitated before that body.
A Washintgon dispatch carries the
Information that the Benedictine
friars of the United States have de
vised a practical plan to aid in reliev
ing the congestion of population In
large cities. They have purchased a
large estate in Texas and will build a
town in the centre of the estate, with
abbey, monastery and such other
buildings as are necessary. The
town will be called St. Anthony's.
Radiating from all sides of this
town to a distance of two miles in
each direction will be laid out 150
farms, for which the friars hepe to
get earnest working farmers from
the congested Immigrant districts.
There will be schools for the chil
dren, clubs, and social societies, all
under the direction of the friars. As
the population increases, more land
will be purchased by the friars. AH
the latest improvements in agricul
ture will be given to the farmers.
BONDS I FNECESSARY.
Under the above heading The
Charlotte Observer discusses the mat

provements. The Cbserver does not
advocate the bond issue. It says it

the necessity or lack of necessity for
such Issue, and it neither advocates
or objects to such Issue. But if the
' conditions are such that bonds ought
to be Issued to erect necessary state
'buildings or to "meet the wants of
, the state's educational Institutions, it
sees no reason why bonds cannot be
Issued. We quote The Observer's ed
itorial In full:

ture, which will of course give it due
thought and weigh all the arguments
on both sides. All that we want to
say on the subject at present is that
there is nothing terrifying in the sug
gestion of an issue of bonds. The
present state debt, considered in re
lation to its quick assets, is inconse
quential. One suggestion is of an Is
sue of $500,000 of three per cent,
bonds to run fifty years. The annual
amount of interest on this debt would
be $15,000. Whether a larger or
smaller amount of bonds, if any at
all, were issued, this serves for a
basis of calculation. Certainly there
is nothing in the thought of an addi
tional annual tax burden of $15,000
that is alarming. The state now
rents several buildings and pays a
considerable part of this amount,
anyhow, and if the, improvements
named are needed there is no reason
why the men of today should bear
the whole expense. Some people have
a sort of sentimental notion that
states, counties and municipalities
should not go in debt, and yet these
people, if in- business, are in debt
themselves. Business is based on
credit and debt is a powerful incent
ive to energy in men. many of whom
would never have had anything except
for having gone in debt and worked
it out. No railroad would ever be
built, no Panama Canal ever con
structed, except for. bonds.
"We cannot be. said to have any
opinion at all at present about the
desirability of North Carolina issuing
now a half million, a million or . a
million and a half of bonds, but if
the legislature feels that the needs
presented are pressing it should not
hesitate to meet them by this method.
They will not panic the people and
the people will" not as' a' practical' mat
ter ever feel the difference."
Mr. B. Sj Robertson, of Haw River,
a successful cotton mill man and the
former confidential man of the late
Governor Holt, was in the city yester
day with friends, and looking over
the legislature. There are few cleverer
men than Ben Robertson, and he is a
useful citizen of his county, taking In
terest in the politics as well as the
business interests.
Representative Gibbs has had occa
sion to have somewhat to say this
week on different occasions, and the
gentleman from the county of Swain
who sits by the big column on the
right of the speaker has shown that
he knows what he Is talking about
when he talks at all. He is another
man who has been waiting for a time
to talk, not caring to speak without
a subject.
Ex-Senator O. F. Mason, of Dallas,
Gaston county, was here this week
looking at his former place of work
and Interviewing the three men In the
legislature from his county. Mr, Ma
son was considered one of the best
while here, and at home he has a fine
law practice and enjoys living all the
day long. He is no lobbyist, and it
seems that lobbying Is not worth
much at this session.
Mr. J. H. Weddlngton, of Charlotte,
one of the hospital commission for the
Insane, Was in the city yesterday look

to others.

PRESS COMMENT
.Senator Pick Should Report This
Bill.
A bill creating a bureau of mines
was passed by the house last session.
That measure provides for the only
practical means of safe-guarding, as
far as possible, the lives of our fel
lows who work under v ground. "And
there are at this moment risking their
lives to explosion, to cave-in, to as
phyxiation, to death in any of many
forms, no less than 1,000,000 fellow
Americans. The bill has hung fire in the senate.
The upper house has been too busy to
give it consideration. Yet In the two
months of this session alone, while
this body has neglected this bill, 350 of
those fellow-Americans have lost
their lives because mine owners either
would not protect them or did not
know how.
If a bureau of mines would save one
life a year and it were possible to put
that one man before the sennte of the
United States, It is hard to believe a
single senator would then be Indiffer
ent to this legislation. He might not
vote for it; but he would demand to
vote upon it. What, then, can be said
when 350 times one man are killed In
two months? When more than 3,000 are
killed in a year? Only this that Sena
tors must be brought to realize by
every means short of producing the.
men- themselves that the nation cannot
afford to lose five out of every thou
sand men employed In any Industry.
Twenty states have endorsed the
Huff-Bartlett-Wilson bill. The 300.000
members of the United Mine Workers
have endorsed it. The owners of the
mines have endorsed it. And the 1,000,-
000 men whose lives may be made more
nearly secure have a right to demand
its pussage, and as reflected in prac
tically every newspaper In the coun
try, the groat body of their neighbors
have demanded It. The senate com
mittee on mines and mining have in
dorsed it. All that remains, apparent
ly. IS that Senator Charles Dick, of
Ohio, shall report the bill to the sen
ate. In the names of 350 whose lives
have already been lost while the senate
has waited, the nation looks to this
chairman to act. Washington Times.
Follow Carolina.
We of Virginia are sometimes dis
posed to dispute North Carolina s
claims to primacy, but there is no
room to question that the Old North
State has been first to inaugurate a re
form which ought to be effected In
this anil everv other state of the Union.
We refer to the aoollttou, trr part, of
the fee system of compensating public
officials. This system is a cancerous
sore upon the body politic, the weak
ening and corrupting effects of which
extend to every department of the
government. It makes for inefficiency
in public office, adds to the cost of
government, encourages political cor
ruption and pollutes the administra
tion of justice. The removal of this
evil would mean a healthier condition
of affairs in every respect-j-a more ef
ficient government, a more economical
government. For years all this has
been recognized, and now and then
protests have gone up against the con
tinuance of the evil. But so far the
demand for reform in Virginia have
been feeble and spasmodic. Let us
hope that the time is not far distant
when Virginia will have a general
assembly possessed of the backbone
and moral courage to follow In the
footsteps of North Carolina and rid the
state of this Incubus. No greater ser
vice could be rendered the common
wealth. Vlrglnian-Pllot. ,
Would Make Educational System Top
Heavy.
There has been a bill Introduced in
the legislature to make one million
and one-half dollar bond Issue to equip
our state Institutions and the ridicu
lous feature of the bill is the naming
of the heads of these institutions to
say how the money shall be spent. We
sincerely hope no one of those men
asked to be placed on such board, we
know some of them did not.
We want to see our educational in
stitutions grow with the progress of
this great state. They may all need
all they are asking for, but we want to
go on record here and now as opposing
the giving of millions of dollars for
the head of our educational system
unless the heart and soul of the sys
tem Is to have some nourishment. A
finely adorned head Is not necessarily
a sign of a sound wholesome body.
The public schools of North Carolina
are the hope of nine-tenths of the chil
dren, these schools form the heart
and soul of our educational life. ;
Gentlemen of the . legislature, you
have heard eloquent pleas from the
heads of these state schools, but you
have heard no pleas from the repre
sentatives of the thousands of little
tow-headed boys and girls in the
hedges and by-ways of thTs state. It
is for these little ones and for the
thousands of young men and women
who will never enter the halls of our
great state schools that we plead.
Look out, gentlemen, of the legisla
ture for the heart and soul of our edu
cational body. See that the feet of
this body are well provided with shoes,
as well as adornement of the head. We
have no objection to Improving the
head, but we must insist that our edu
cational body Is not all head; If It is,
then It Is not a natural body and will
sooner or later die and go the way of
all the earth. Catawba County News.
