, CHIEF ORB'S STATEMENT
Chief Orr, of the Charlotte police,
has Just issued a statement in connec
tion With tho nrriniiiir nf thrPA lillnd
timers by Governor Bickett and in this!
' , . ,
statement the Charlotte Chief points
out the disadvantages the police work
under when such leniency Is shown by
. the Chief Executive, or any other offi
cial who have the power to pass sen
tence on prisoners. . The Chief seems
to us to be right. What is the use of
the police working hard - for weeks
convlctng a blind tiger only to h.re;i5; ,7. waSoriSnlTed Vi
him pardoned, and in many cases par-; friend of Trinity and of : Mr. . South-
doued without serving a day How
.can we expect the laws to be enforced
with nothing behind them. We haven't
read the Governor's reasons for par
doning these particular prisoners, but
we know some of his reason for par-
, doning other prisoners, and we be
lieve he is. too lenient.
The major leagues have opened for
their 1020 baseball season, aud every
one predicts the greatest year in the
history of the game. - Baseball - de
serves the, patronage of the public. It
'a a business organized solely for the
purpose of entertainment; a business
dependable upon public sentiment, for
its living ; and a business that does
more to bring happiness to Americans
than any other Vnyyvn. it Is an Amer
ican game, played in an American
fashion, aud it should prosper always.
Congress, if It passes the soldier re
lief bill which will give one dollar
for each day's service to the ex-service
men and women, will put on the stat
ute books legislation that will be ac
cepted favorably . generally. No man
or woman volunteered for service with
hopes of pecuniary reward,' but since
It is all over, and successfully so, there
will be few who will hesitate to take
their share.
- The announcement that Congress is
! give all ex-service men and women
a dollar a day for each day's service
v. ;.l bring a howl from the "slackers"
;iid "conscientious objectors."

Cotton Exchange which has just been

suspension or tne uw tunning twiiy

may not be resorted to again In the
case Of maturing contracts.- ; !
This -.fluctuation, .rule, was suspenu-
ed by the exchange In the case or
March contracts irom .taarcu z-uu. i
March 25th inclusive, owing to appre
hensions that it might , give rise . to
claims of an unintentional failure to
make deliveries' of actual cotton or
properly complete ' the terms of the
contract It seems that such appre
hensions had developed out of a mis
understanding of the exact character
of the New York contract ana traa-
inir rules Drovidimt for a penalty -ot
25 points above the spot price In the
case of an unintentional default The
existence of the; impression m tne
South and elsewhere, that shorts or.
mur urine contracts .might avoid dellv-
eries without, incurring severe penal
ties, was brought to the attention of
the exchange autnormes Dy tne uu-
reau of Markets in a letter requesting
pnHot information.
Replying to the inquiry, Leopold &
Bat-he, Vice-president of the exchange,
emDhatically denied any possibility
that a member of the exchange short
of the maturing month, who waited
until the last day and then, failing to
find contracts for sale at the maxi
mum price, would be given the bene
fit of this provision, and added that
in his opinion "such action would sub
ject the member to a severe penalty
as the proceeding, under no concep
tion' of the rules could be considered
as an unpremeditated and uumtentlon
al default, - unless there were som
other nnalifvinz conditions.'
' This official statement from th
Vice-President of the Exchange, wht
also informed the Bureau of Markets
in order to eliminate the possi-
I trading limit, the limit would be re-
; moved on March contracts ror tne po-
rtiid March 22 to March 25) was av-
knowledged by George Livingston,
ehlef of the Bureau of Markets, as

Not "Sedalisiie Despotist."
Concord Observer.' -
Mr. Cameron. Morrison says that
Mr. B. Newton Page .in his speech
here was advocating "socialistic des
potism.' We heard Mr. Page and sanst
say that we got no such impression
from his speech. The fact is that un
til the close of bis speech no one could
have told what party he belonged to
as his ideas were - original and we
could find no fault with them. He ad
vocates good roads that reach the ut
termost sections of the country so ss
to keep the people on the farms. Ha
advocates a profit-sharing plan as
solution of our industrial trobulea. He
advocates a better and more econom
ical administration of the laws. . He
advocates more pay for the ' school
teachers. We can see no germs of
"despotism" in these ..things, as M.
Morrison charges. We hope J no. X
Parkers will be governor and If he is
and he puts into effect the things ad
vocated by Mr. Page, be will do the
state a good service and he won't be a
'socialistic despot" either In so doing.
Scramble For Shoes.
Sale of 70.000 pairs of American
shoes was stopped In Stockholm, Ewe
den," the other day, because they had
been found to contain horn fibre in the
heel and, toe. Use of substitutes for
leather in shoes is forbidden by the
Swedish law.
Pnbllc indignation has been express
ed over the stopping of the sale, ow
ing to the alleged exorbitant prices de
manded by domestic manufacturer.
The selling firm has arpealed to the
government to permit the shoes to be
sold.

definite campaign to ' complete the
