A FITTING MEMORIAL.
The Raney library is a great In
stitution. It has been of inestimable
benefit to Raleigh. Her people have
gotten great pleasure and profit from
'' within its walls. The busy business
man and the thoughtful student have
alike found it an unfailing source of
recreation and information, while it
. is a fountain of knowledge to the
.older students of the schools. For
i all of its benefits the city is indebted
- to the late R. B. Raney. That the
city should show its appreciation of
what this man has done for Raleigh
v Is a most natural and appropriate
thing to do. And since the people' of
Raleigh are going to honor the mem
ory of Mr. Raney in some way would
It not be a most appropriate memor
. ial to the man to establish a child
ren's department in the library which
he loved so well and which he made
possible by his generosity?
The library is splendid in all its
equipment, but this one thing it lacks,
a place for the children, for as it is
now no child under 12 years of age
has the use of the reading-room be
cause there is no department for
them. Almost every day child
ren come to the library to
read or in search of informa
tion which has to be denied them
; because of this lack of a department
for them. It is one of the library's
needs and one of the city's needs. At
the meeting of the board last night
.Miss Coffin called attention to this
need in her report. It is a need that
must be met and supplied and it
seems that there could be no better
. way to honor Mr. Raney than to meet
that need in his name and meet it now
in the form of an endowment made
by the people of Raleigh to, provide
. for a children's department. Such a
. memorial would be perpetual and it
-would surely meet the wishes, if he
. could make them known, of the man
i; who Is gone.'
We understand that there isnow
a room In the library building that
could be utilized for this purpose and
. there Is already ' a trained librarian
.connected with the institution ready
to take up the work. She has been
'trained with this very end In view,
'taking charge of the children's de
partment when if was made possible
to have one. The room spoken of Is
not large, but would meet present re
quirements and the only Immediate
expenditure needed would be for fur-
nitttre for the department. But theuje Reflector.

THE SALARY BASIS.
. Speaking of putting county officers
on salary and abolishing the fee sys
tem the Salisbury Post says:
"That the salary idea is growing
In favor admits of no dispute ahd It
is due to the single fact that, changed
conditions have made it . feasible.
The fee system, we have contended,
is. desirable In those counties that
have not attained affluence but ; in
the larger and richer counties of the
state a salary basis is preferable,.
"There is a danger associated with
the compensation of public officials
at a stated amount, however, and U
Is found In a spirit of niggardliness
that would let out important public
stations to the lowest bidder. This
spirit is one of the weakest character
istics of the American citizen. The
salary of an officeholder is not by a
very great deal so attractive as it I
would appear on its face. To illus
trate, take the office of high sheriff
of Rowan county. Bonds are re
quired of this official for the handling
of the county's moneys and ' proper
conduct as an officer of the law.
More, he is liable at law for the con
duct of his deputies.
"The unthinking do not consider
the grave burden devolving upon a
public servant to whom primary res
ponsibility attaches. By them he is
rated as a mechanism who is given
specific orders which may be carried
out automatically. The fact of the
matter is the service rendered is not
comparable with the consequences at
tendant upon a lack of capacity or
negligence in. the discharge of duty.
"Wherever there is a willingness
to give public servants sufficient com
pensation for the responsibility as
sumed as well as for actual services
rendered the salary system is all
right: when otherwise, it is all
wrong."
Of course the compensation in all
cases should be a reasonable one.
The public servant should be paid for
his services and the responsibility at
tached be taken into consideration in
fixing the amount of his salary. Lot
the salaries be large enough by all
means to attract good men. But when
that is done it will still be found, in
the larger or more populous counties
at least, as The Post suggests that
there has been a clear saving to the
county, and if such is not the case
and no saving is effected the offices
will at least be put on a business foot
ing and an antiquated system gotten
rid of.'
The merchants of Asheville are in
terested in the commission form of
city government. At a recent meet
ing of the Retail Merchants' Associa
tion of that city a committee was ap
pointed to look into that form of gov
ernment and report the result of their
investigations back to the board.
Though nothing may come of this ag
itation in Asheville the movement on
the part of the merchants shows how
the idea is growing upon the country.
Those cities that have adopted the
plan and put their affairs on a busi-
ness basis are being watched by the
people of the cities and by thoughtful
students of the problems of city gov
ernment all over the country. And
as yet nothing has been found in the
administration of any of them to in
dicate that business methods in city
government do not pay there as well
as in private enterprises.

This is the same old squeal. But
the state doesn't do any such thing.

PRESS COMMENT
? . .
To Fortify the Entrance of the Che
' ' " '-i :eake.
: According to our dispatches from
Norfolk., the Mayors of the Chesapeake
Bay cities, along with the commis
sioners of the District of Columbia, are
to be Invited to a conference In Nor
folk to consider the defense of the bay.
The invitation is to be sent out by the
Norfolk Industrial Commission, and
the officials to be invited are the com
missioners of the District of Columbia
and themayors of Baltimore, Norfolk,
Newport News, Richmond, Petersburg,
Alexandria, Hampton and Portsmouth.
In his recent speech In the waterways
convention in Norfolk the President ex
pressed himself as favorable to the
better defenese of the Chesapeake by
tne erection of a lortincatlon on an
artificial island to be made on the
Middle Ground in the mouth , of the
bay.
In his speech to the waterways con
vention Admiral Sperry said:
"In discussing the internal water
ways as a line of defense and as a se-.
cure passage for coastwise tramc in
time of war. it is imperative that your
attention Ehould be called to the fact
that In the present undefended state
of the entrance to the Chesapeake this
line can be cut In two and absolutely
blockaded by the enemy. Not a single
gun coultj be bought to bear upon a
hostile fleet passing from the Capes to
the head of the Chesapeake Bay, while
the great railway bridges are exposed
to destruction and an enemy with full
liberty to land in safety when he
pleases may also blockade or attack
Norfolk while his fleet lies comfortably
at anchor in Lynn Haven Bay."
The "Middle Ground, which was
mentioned by the president as thr
proper place for making the fortifica
tion, is a shoal in the very mouth of
the bay about midway betweeen Ihe
Capes and about five miles from Cape
Henry. The ship channel Is between
the shoal and the (.'ape Henrv side.
With : fort on the Middle Ground and
a battery at Cape Henry, it would be
almost impossible for a hostile fleet to
enter the , bav. The creation of an
Island on the shoal would be expensive,
but over portions of it the depth of
water at mean tide is not more than
seven or eight feet.
The proposed conference would be
interesting, and while the coast is be
ing fortified it seems unwise to neglect
and leave defenseless so Important a
strategic point as the Chesapeake Bay.
Baltimore Sum
Collootor Loeb's Wrk at the Port of
New York.
After a conference with treasury of
ficers Collector William Loeb, Jr., of
the port of New York, has returned,
announcing that with a dozen more
dismissals the work of housecleanlng
there will have been completed.
Prosecutions arc to proceed rigor
ously, and various steps taken to per
fect the customs service at ,New York,
but the greater part of the job of
overhauling has been done. The result-
of it has been to uncover vast
I sugar frauds and other customs frauds
of great magnitude and wide ramifi
cations through which the government,
has been muiced out of millions of
dollars.
Secretary of the Treasury MaeVeagh
has stood squarely by the efforts to
reform the New York customs service
and President Taft hr.s encouraged
them. The immediate t-isk of ferret
ing out f the frauds and finding the
dishonest men of the customs service
has fallen on Colecter Loeb to a larpe
extent. He has done this work well
and deserves cietKt for It.
As "the faithful l.oe!)," his capacity
for public affi'irs was not generally
appreciated, and a;- the buffer between
President Roosevelt and his clitics
and enemies Mr. Loeb frequently suf
fered for occurrences for which he
was not responsible.
The- value of the housecleanlng at
the port of New York is not yet gen
erally recognized, but It will bo great.
It means that the customs rervlce of
every port will be examined t" see
whether there is dishonestly and cor
ruption. After this there ought be no
need for periodical housecleanlng. The
treasury department ought to estab
lish a system with such riid safe
guards as to make them unnecessary.

"Will Trusts Fight the Government?"
There seems to be a pretty general
assumption that the judical decision
in the Standard Oil Case will be sus
tained by the supreme court of the
United States. It will,-of course, be
carried up on appeal in order that n
final adjudication may be obtained.
That is desirable. The question that
seems to exercise most jninds con
cerned with the matter is what will
then be done, or what will be done in
the meantime, to bring existing com
binations Into harmony with the law,
either as it stands or as it may be
modified by amendment. There are
suggestions of trying -o resort to some
new. device for evading the law and
fighting against government authority.
Nothing could be more ill-advi?ed than
that,: and it wou!d be certain to aggra
vate the situation, for no government
can afford to permit Itself to be defied
or Its authority to be ignored by those
who live, or carry '.on business within
its jurisdiction, .'
The chief suggestion of this 'kind
that we observe is that a holding com
pany might be organized under the
laws of some other country, 'with Its
offices and its corporate action abroad,
which could bold a controlling Interest
t In all the constituent companies that
it was desired to nave work in unison.
As It could choqse the directors of all
the different constituents 6f the eomVi
bination it could keep it working to-'!
gether as If Informed with one spirit
and purpose In the conduct of a wide
ly extended bulslness. ; The main differ-'
ence between It and the plan, of the.
domestic holding company would be
oummic nyium - Kuiiiuwfj- "vuiu
lt meetings, Its Records and the
'evidence oC Its centralised action would,
. . ' . . . , .. . i f i
be out of - Jurisdiction of 'ojir govern-
ment una out of lcuch, while the .ex
ternal appearance would be that all
the different i companies which were
working in harmony were independent
and quite free to compete. It would
be altogether impracticable to keep up
any such secret arrangement and es
cape. Interference with its oiieration.
But the suggestion of any such "at
tempt at evasion or of keeping up any
antagonism or resistance to theygov-.
eminent or, fighting against public au
thority Is of evil Import and in the last
degree unwise. No corporation or con.
bination of Capital can exist in this
country without being subject to law.
and any combination that is made un
lawful will have to cease to exist.
There should : be no keeping up of
"fight" against the law or of schemes
of evasion, but there should be submis.
sion in good faith wherever the law Is
finally ascertained and established be.
yond further dispute. It would be un
fortunate for the business and the
peace and good order of the country
to have this antagonism-kept up, and
there should be a sincere effort on both
sides, on the side of men who control
and direct great industrial and busi
ness. Interests through corporate or
ganization td on the side of those who
represent the people in the making and
administration of law, to establish a
System of regulation which shall be for
the common welfare.
There Is no doubt that modern In
dustrial development tends irresisti
bly to large corporate organization and
to affiliations which will reduce the
friction of competition where powerful
interests are liable to come into con
flict with destructive effect. But the
working of such a system can not be
safely left to the will of those who de
vise and direct its operation. It must
he subject to regulatioi, to require
ments of prohibitions of law. at once
effective and enforcible. The adjus
ment of regulation has not kept pace
with the development, and they must
somehow be brought into harmony- by
adaption to secure the benefit of de
velopment wtihout an abuse of the
power that accomplishes it or the sac.
riiice of rights and interests that fall
in its way. If there is to be "fighting"
the people will see to it that thevgov-
ernment prevails over the trusts and
the makers of trusts, but there is no
occasion for fighting. Tin- best minds
ind best ability should work together
for the needed adjustment of public
regulation and restraint over the forces
of material development, to make them
subservient to the general welfare and
to the wealth and power of "mag
nates." Journal of commerce.
North Carolina Lends.
The annual report of the commis
sioner of international revenue shows
that nearly eight million dollars less
booze taxes were collected this -year
than last, but that tobacco has
brought in two million dollars more;
and the further fact tiiat tax receipts
tend to indicate a decrease in the
cigar trade and an increase in the
demand for snuff, cigarettes, pipe and
chewing tobacco.' The fact that whis
key consumption seems to be grow
ing less is encouraging, but that the
consumption of tobacco in (he form
of cigarettes, snufi.omoking and chew
ing tobacco is on the increase does
not indicate a very healthy state of
affairs.
North Carolina leads in t:ie pro
duction of chewing and smoking to

76,826.9881 pounds. In this class of
production Missouri comes second,

From Super to Suer.
The British Invincible, built in
1905-6 was the beginning of the
Dreadnought race that may yet
bankrupt Krropean nations. The
length of the Invincible was 530 feet
with a displacement of 17,250 tons
and 41,000-horse power.
Germany comes next, the boat be
ing the Von der Taun. She was built
in 1907. Her length is 550 feet, dis
placement 17,250 tons, horse power
45,000. And now comes the British
indefatigable. She is 555 feet long
and has a displace of 19,000 tons and
45,000 horse power. This was in
1908. In 1909 the Germans began
the construction of two ships each
to be 570 feet long with a displace
ment of 23.000 tons and 67,000
horse power. The British are not to
be outdone for the builders of that
country have made plans for a double
super to be built next year. She is to
be 6 J0 feet long, with a displacement
of 5,000 tons and 70,000-horse
power.
Dreadnoughts are like skyscrapers
in one respect they have no limit
except the size of the ocean. A
cruiser that had 10,000 tons dis
placement 10 years ago was a won
der, and yet no one how" stops to in
quire about one with 30,000 tons dis
placement. Fighting ships have been
been trebled in size in 10 years, and
The Age-Herald declines to figure out
the dimensions of a Dreadnought 10
years hence, or its cost' or the deficit
that will be created. , Projectiles too
have grown until the' British at least
are ready to hurl at an enemy shotit
that weigh 1,250 pounds apiece.

sentiment is all right, but there will
be scarcely any need for the use of
the slogan. This country has about

We fear our usually far seeing con

the ambition and wariness f Uoos.e

prominent republican to whom Sena

no Roosevelt partisan he is one of the
longest-headed Republican in the
country, a national figure who has oc
cupied high official position. The
thought that Roosevelt will succeed
himself is not an agreeable one to
this gentleman but he declares there Is
no escape.
There? is no telling. With all his

politicians in the country and he has
