As a matter of procedure, the sen
ate. will not consider it until the
house has acted. The subject comes
before the. senate not in the shape of
a treaty upon which that body alone
may sit In judgment, but as a legis
lative proposition requiring the joint
action of the two houses. It is a rev
euue question, and action must orig
inate in the house of representatives.
Whether the agreement be disposed
of or not in that body, it is the prac

leaders of the senate, among both re
publicans and democrats, that it
would be a waste of time to attempt
to consider it before March 4

House?
During the legislative session of
1909 a commission was appointed for
the purpose of selling tiic old market
house and selecting a site tor the
c.ection of a new btiilJing. It ap
pears that the commission was not
able to agree and things remain at
present as they were prior to tne act
ot tne legislature.
In considering - the subject, it Has
occurred to me that we could very
well afford to do without a central
market house. In the near future we
are to have a municipal building
which will include the guard house

tion would not be precipitated he
might be willing to call congress in
extraordinary session. The fact that
the democrats would not be prepared
for
early this spring might.. induce them
to eive a nledse to the executive.
Still the expressions relative to an
extra session are vague and hint at
it only as a mere possibility.
A dispassionate survey of the
whole situation may be summed up:
no reciprocity with Canada, at least
until another and totally different

Ohio, who has been fining vote-sell
ers by the hundred, Ijelieves public
ity is the most effective antidote for
graft. "I am a groat believer," said
Judge Adams, "in those newspapers
which print the facts concerning
their government, whether it be mu
nicipal, county, state, or national. I
believe we are getting too big a na
tion to allow the politicians to run
us, to think for us, and to run our
government for us. And just so
long as we have any newspapers who
will print the truth, regardless of
whom, it affects, we may have this
freedom. If such papers should pass
away we would have a terrible reign
of corruption and fraud."
A NEW DEUCACV(?)
The Waxhaw Enterprise Is expe
riencing ecstacies of delight- becaue
of a new dish It has gotten hold of to
tickle Its palate. Hear It rave:
- The people living In Wilkes coun
ty, Ga.,' are making rabbit sausage.
One of the Georgia, newspapers says
this news will be relished by every
one who has ever tasted the Joys of
either rabbit or .sausage. And who,
pray, Is so benighted as not to ap
preciate one or both of these zestful
diBhes? In the cooked rabbit there
Is a certain eluBive tang, a sort of
whimsical flavor not -to be found in
any bther offspring of the kitchen.
In sausage there is a bold, almost
pompous richness combined with an
Infinite variety that takes the appe
tite by utorm. What, then, must be
the potency of these two great diBhes
together! Jj ..' - . -
Any land would be blessed by saus
! "o alone.' . Any people should be
their line on to
thing for the business men to do is to
get together and act NOW, so that
we will have some assurance that
they will bring the road here. Such
a great electric railway connecting
up all the big Piedmont cities will
mean much to the people in many
ways, and as the Capital City of the
slate we cannot afford to let such a
road come to Durham and stop. We
should make a strong effort to get it
continued on to Raleigh. The Dukes
are going to spend millions in the
development of this Piedmont sec
tion, and we should give them the
glad hand and invite them to our
Capital City, and not only invite
them, but do as other business cen
ters are doing: take stock in their
railways and help them develop the
state.
Raleigh, but the and this attendance is surprising when
It i remembered that all those not
members 'of the present congress had
I,, io to Wnshimrtun at their o.wi
exnense. The sneaker was selected
Without division and there was piut
tical unanimity In selecting th.- ways
and men no committee and authorizing
that committee to select the other com
mittees. The democrats had gone on
record in favor of taking the selection
of cominitlees out of the hinds of the
speaker, and it is to their credit that
they did not repudiate their own prop
osition when they found themselves in
power.
The matter of the organization', of
the next house is practically out of
the wav and the ways and means com
mittee can arrange its programme for
tariff revision and be ready for business
when the new congress meets next
December. There will of course be
some disappointments when the com
initlees are announced, but if the dem
ocrats show the same spirit ot concili
ation In which they have begun they
will make a good Impression on the
country and will have a tine oppor
tunity to elect the next president.

THE CANADIAN TKKATY.
As the full significance of the re
ciprocity treaty with Canada, pro
posed by President Taft, is under
stood, stand-pat republicans are
dazed at the proposed Inroad upon
the protective principle, while re
publicans from the northwest, who
have been crying for six months or
more for a downward revision of the
tariff, and a relief from the high cost
of living, are raising their hands In
horror and trying to explain that
they have not meant tariff reductions
of this character.
The democrats are about the only
ones who can tell just how they
stand ' on - the proposed agreement.
With exceptions, they seem to be
pleased with it. 1
The disorganization of the repub
licans over the agreement makes it
certain what Its fate will be In con-
gress. Members or state aeiegaiions
are differing among themselves as to
the advisability or; Inadvigahilltjr of

The Other Sid! At Kust.
Our friends of the northern maga
zines have a fashion of sending out to
publishers advance notices of the lead
ing features oT their current issues.
In the February number of McClure's,
Edith Wvatt and Sue Ainslce Clark
have an article on the tough times the
women employed in the New York
laundries have.. It is pretty much an
offset to the stock stuff the magazines
have been running about southern cot
ton mills, and reading It, we caine to
the conclusion that the advance slips
would save us from mutilating the
magazine Itself, with the scissors. Hut
behold! The editor of the advance
slips had many other things of over
shadowing fmportanco and he con
densed the whole - laundry story in a
few lines of small type under the
heading: "Working- From Seven In
the Morning Until Midnight Without
Overtime Pay." One has to dig Into
It to learn that It does not refer to
southern cottoji mills, but to New
York laundries and It skips the matter
of the fabulous wages paid, altogether.
The Magazine article. Itself, Is full,
grown women get froti $3 to $8 a
week as a general run, the more skill
ful operators making higher wages
during certain seasons . of the year.
The magaslne articles, Itself, is full.
fair and candid. It tells of laundries
where the best conditions prevail and
where the worst conditions prevail, and
there is not a cotton mill woman in
th south who on reading It, 'will not
thank God that she earns her living In
ft southern cotton mill, Instead of In
the best New York laundry.
- tut we will throw our. printed, slip
when I sav her -she was in .such te
rible despair with' her low wages, her
long 'hours of 'Standing: that she was
considering whether she should not
swallow her: weir ., founded terror of
the misery his dissipation'-might .bring
upon them hiuT marry linn after all."
The , alr and . light, conditions'- are
necessarily bad. hut how about food
and drink'.".. At one lanndrv, the story
goes, "the women at lirst kept bottles
of soda water. Some old women had
beer. But on a series of hot day
with hours from halt past seven lo
twelve, and Iroin one to anv tune up
to ten at night, ten cents worth of
beer or soda water .did.; not- go far
to alleviate thus! anil soon drank
big hole in a wage ot a week. ' Th
was an account of culminated wattr
and for weeks the women, not able
to pay for their beer or soda water,
had to drink this had water. When
the women work over- time at night
they cannot go home for supper, but
buy it at neighboring stores. 'I heir
average supper costs seven cents.
Four girls have been known to ' dine"
on a one-cent piece of cake. The fa
vorite supper is bread and sausage,
cheese or .meat.
How Is it about living quarters?
The general puhln- lias an idea of
what life in a .New York tenement is.
Some of the hotels ami hospitals con
duct their own laundries, winch arc
generally located in the basenfeiit.
They have donni tones up under the
roof for the help. In one room In
the dormitory of an expensive hotel,
there were twenly-seven beds In tiers,
aired only by three windows on an
inner court. The room looked fresh
and pleasant because of the white
paint and blue beil-spieads; but it was
badly ventilated, both bv condition
and because- the girls would keep the
windows closed for warmth." The
scenes In these dormitories and laun
dries may be imagined from the com
ment of .Miss Wolnslnifcr: "In look
ing back on this past week. It seems
impossible It could have been true.
Watching these women has been like
seeing animals tortured."
Then there Is u feature of wage
earning in the north unknown to the
south. It Is discrimination. The wri
ter of the story says: "Mangle work.
as a rule, is done bv Italians. In two
laundries I found, working side by side,
wjth American and Irish girls. Italians,
who were u,oing exactly the same
work, and were paid less, solely be
cause they were Italians. The. em
ployer said he never paid the Italians
more than $4 a week." v
There Is much more to the same
effect, but the Chronicle does not like
to deal in human misery. It has given
so much substantiation .- or us
claim, -often repealed that there is
enough of the labor problem, so call
ed, at the doors of the north to keep
the philanthropists up there, busy at
home. The south Is fast solving Its
own problem in a satisfactory way,
and It Is time for' the north to begin
the work of .cleaning up its own back
yard. Charlotte Chronicle.

the city. The question of locating
the market is one'that calls for al
most theV power of divination. ; If It.
is located at exactly the right place
It may pay its expenses, but if It Is
located at a point not accessible or
agreeable to the citizens, It will be
come a burden upon the city, Sev-t
eral towns In the state have Uad'tW
experience-a market houses with
practically no tenants. v -i.
Having in mind the feeling aroused
among our citizens., at the various
public hearings of the committee. It
seems Impossible to reconcile the dif
ferent factions and we have no pros
pects of a united front in selecting a
suiahle site for a new market house.
There is another pnase of the ques
tion to be considered, namely: that
of realizing sufficient funds from the
sale of the present market house to
buy the land and erect such a build
ing and silo as will meet with the
approval of this or any other com
mittee having the matter in chargo.
The minimum price estimated for the.
land and building of a new market
vary from $70,000.00 to $80,000.00,
from which the city can only realize
the income derived from the rental
of the stalls: If the market is sold
the price named will guarantee that
the present buildings will he torn
down and a substantial edifice will
replace it, which will bo ornamen
tal and imposing. The money deriv
ed from the sale can be used to retire
the old market house bonds which
will cut down our interest rate be
tween $3,000.00 and $4,000.00 the
property having passed Into private
hands will be subject to taxation and
add from $600.00 to $800.00 to the
city treasury. As we have provided
an ornate municipal building, provid
ing a city guard house, commodious
offices for our city officials, and the
finest auditorium in the state, may
we not take plenty of time to coll
ider our future action towards a
market house?
The city of Charlotte, the largest
ity in our state, has no market
house. Atlanta, the biggest city in
the south, has none. Birmingham,
Ala.; a very large city, has none, and
it does appear that if these cities are -not
inconvenienced by the lack of a
-.arket house that we should not.
