AS TO CHILD LABOR IX 4fflS
SOUTH.
YVlien proponents of the proposed child
labor amendment we're spreading tlie:r
propaganda they delighted in making the
absurd assertion that the South voted
against the proposal because Southern
lieople wanted to preserve an unfair ad
vantage in competition with New Eng
land textHe mills.
This charge is answered in a recent is
sue of Natural Resources, the organ of
the North Carolina Economic and Geolog
ic Survey as follows:
"While stability of southern industrial
labor does not depend upon the exploita-1
tion of children, it is true that this com
petitive advantage has caused some New
England mills to move south, has driv
en others to the manufacture of special
ties. and in other instances has caused
widespread industrial stagnation, idle
ness and suffering. What bottoms til’s
better condition of adult, not child, labor
Sn the south?
“New England finds its labor ruinous
ly costly not only because it is so largely
foreign-born, not alone because of strikes,
not. alone because of agitators and clash
ing elements and a lack of sympathy and
interests in workers. These defects are
notable for their absence among the na
tive white labor of southern mills, but ■
they are after all, symptoms rather than ;
causes. New England labor cannot pro
duce as cheaply as that in the south be
cause it. cannot live so well or so cheaply.
"Thus, New England imports nearly
nil its food. Its farms are played out.
Its timber has been cut away. Its rural
population is scant, despondent, unpro
ductive. Os its natural resources water
power alone remains. It is living on its
nerve, its skill, its accumulated capital.
“In the south the mill worker is lately
from the farm and in close touch with
the land. He .is largely fed and housed
by home products. He has space, air. a
mild climate, a ehanee to foster his own
and his children's individuality. The
great water powers.whose energy runs the
mills are yet a new discovery, economi
cally a net gain. These are natural re
sources aud advantages making for the
advantage in labor which is conquering
New England competition.’’
WILL THERE BE ANYTHING BET
TALK?
President Coolidge in his inaugural ad
dress stressed two matters —radical tax
reductions and American participation in
a movement for world peace. The United
States alone is interested in the former;
the whole >vorld is interested in the lat
ter.
The Charlotte News expresses the hope
that l’residcnt Coolidge will do more
than talk in regard to the world j»eace’
movement. The News finds that “in re
gard to the participation of America in
such movements as will stabilize the
peace of the world, the Republican party
leaders have been chattering at length
ami often, but the trouble is that their
efforts stop at the end of the tongue."
That's a fact that cannot be disputed.
President Coolidge has always favored
the world cfurt pip yet durifig his reg
inijf in he, itas not been able ]
tt> met anything dptle about it. The News
sasa "what Mr' Coolidge should be able
to f|p during hSs term is to get the United
State* into the world court which would
be u decided step in the direction of the
world peace about which he speaks. TbeJ
fact that be is passively in favor of it is
'
/aot enough. He need* to use sledge
| hammer strokes of leadership to get his ]
1 party which now has things its own way
in Washington, to so something that is '
worth while.”
President Coolidge can' control Con
gress now if he can just arouse enough
spirit to do it. His New England cold
ness is a handicap all right, but since be
talks so much about the world court it
does seem that he could be able to get up \
enough enthusiasm- on the subject to
fight Congress to the finish. Scuta tor 80-1
I rah as chairman of the foreign relations
committee is going to oppose any par
ticipation by the United States in world !
I affairs. The President should realize
that fact when he lays his campaign !
plans. He should plan to overcome any j
opposition that . Senator Borah and his
followers cin-muster in the Senate. j
Theodore Roosevelt,' Woodrow Wilson
and other Presidents' of magnetic pec-1
sonalities and fighting dispositions fought j
Congress to the finish and they won. Pres-1
ident Coolidge can win too, if he will
just fight. He has talked enough about
the United States entering the world
court. Every time he has occasion he
comes out in favor of the plan. Still he
does nothing but talk. The people want
action on this most important question.
They want world peace and they know
full well that talking will not bring the
desired results.
JOKING IN THE FACE OF DEATH
Numerous Stogie Recalled of Criminals
Who Joked Before Executtion. -
New York, March 6.—The recent ac
counts of a condemned murderer in the
West who complacently smoked a cigar
ette while the noose was being adjusted
about his-neck serves to recall numerous
stories of erimiuals who have joked in
the facet of death.
One of the best of these stories, wheth
er true or not, relates to the late Sena
tor Blackburn, of Kentucky. When a
candidate for Congress. Mr. Blackburn
had to attend an execution in tin official
capacity. The condemned man was asked
if he had anything to say. He re
mained silent; so up jumped the future
senator. “If the gentleman does not
want his time, and will yield it to me.”
he. began. “'I should like to present my
self as a candidate for your votes. If
I am elected to Congress, I—” At this
moment the condemned nian found his
tongue. “Book lierie. mister;” he said.
"I was only condemned to death, not to
be tortured by your speeches." ’ Then,
turning to the man manipulating the
trap, lie added. “Let her go. sheriff."
Some years ago an enterprising New
York, hatter, by offering one hundred dol
lars to the wife of a man who had been
condemned to death, secured a startling
advertisements of his wares from the
gallows—it was before the adoption of
the electric chair. When the doomed
man was standing on the trap he asked
to be allowed to speak. Permission was
granted, and ill a loud, firm voice be pro
ceeded. "All 1 have to say is that the
best two-dollar hat ill America run be ob
tained of Mr. . the batter. No.
street.” A moment later lie was dead.
Still mere bizarre was the scene enact
ed in the French town of Dunkirk at an
execution that was almost without a
parallel in of crime. Jean
dan den liegaert and Charles Swartvaeg
er had been condemned to pay the su
preme penalty for a particularly brutal
murder. The official announcement that
the execution would be a public one at
tracted an enormous crowd to the town,
and large sums were paid in advance
for windows overlooking the prison.
Prior to the execution of the con-,
d -mned men attended Mass in the prison
chapel, Begaert breaking out into loud
peals of laughter at various stages. When
priest lias concluded. Begaert turned to
the warder and said. “Doesn't he talk
beautifully! I couldn't do it better
myself.”
Outside the prison gates he surveyed
the sea of faces with an amused smile,
and shuoted, “Good morning, messieurs
and mesdames! Y'our presence in such
rumbers fiHs me with pride. It is at
splendid tribute to my popular qualities;,
and it will be lily pleasure to do my best
not to disappoint you by mv perform
ance." Tiitih having drained a glass of
rout, he blew kisses to the crowd, tripped
gaily to file guillotine, and placed fcis
1 ead in the lunette.
When Alphonse Dindon was on his
way to the guillotine in Paris with sn
unlit cigarette in his lips, one of the at
tendants ucked him if he would like a
match. "No. thank you.” was the bland
answer, “I’ll light it when I get there.”
The shortest name in the world is pos
sessed by Mr. I, native of Hangchow.
China, who is a medical student in Johns
Hopkins Medical School.

Thinks State Institutions and Schools

j Raleigh. March 6.—Governor McLean
does opt believe that any state institu
tion, consolidated office, University, State
College, North Carolina College, East
Carolina Teachers’ College, the equaliz
ing fund, or any other will have to stand
. still. stagnate or retrograde by reason
iof the economies instituted under his
first sixty days of governing.
| The governor, moreover, believes that
they will make their best progress. They

I somethng about personal economy, ales
-1 son that the whole populace needs, he
, fee’s. Hi* excellency said nothing this
I afternoon that- confirmed the legislative
| stories of his slashes on the appropria
tions bill. He had been quoted two
i ways and he denied that either represen
tation was correct.
| Raleigh departmentalists were red hot
' today over Raleigh rumors that his ex-
I cellenoy had taken the appropriations bill
and dessicated it as he saw fit. The
governor says lie has felt it improper to
project himself into every little affair of
state. He conferred with many legisla
tors near midnight of Thursday and had
many more in to see him today. But
beyond insisting that there be an equa
tion between revenues and expenditures,
be has not carried himself into the fight.
The governor is confident that there is
too much gloom. He sees no exeuse for
the pessimism that he observes in the
capital. He admits that the texttile
business isu’t the most promising activity
that he observes. He does not know
how much improvement is early to be ex
pected. But all State institutions, he
feels, will be able to do their very best
on the appropriations and maintenance
afforded and instead of being blue lie
thinks the State should be lo.xv.
The governor did not discuss legisla
tive action that lias run counter to his
wishes. He showed evident satisfac
tion with the difference of some measures
making special appropriations aud open
ing new sources of taxation. But he
carried on no executive lobby.

WILL, HORTON GET
THE TARPON OFFICE?
Forecast That Jude* Horton WIU Retire
to Become Pardon Attorney.
News and Observer.
Retirement of Judge J. Lloyd Horton
from the Superior Court bench and his
appointment as State Pardon Attorney
i by Governor Angus W. McLean was
forecast here yesterday as among the
possibilities that will develop within the
next few days. Nothing has emanated
from any official source to lend color to.
the rumor but during the day it gained
strength enough to be taken seriously.
Close friends of Judge Horton have
known for some time that he contemplat
ed retirement from the bench during the
year to resume the practice of law. He
is undnerstood to have discussed a part
nership with two well known lawyers of
Raleigh. Neither of these negotiations
have yet developed a formal agreement
thus far.
Judge Horton desires to leave the
bench. bn his five years’ service he has
held court in fifty counties and he has
been compelled to be away' from his
family almost constantly. The impell
ing reasons that move him are a son
eight years old and a daughter five years
old. They are growing old and they
are almost strangers to him. Judge
Horton was thirty years old a month
ago. >
Governor McLean lias made no an
nouncement of his selection of the pardon
attorney, but to friends with whqm lie
has discussed the matter he has indi
cated that he desires a man with judi
cial experience, and a man with youth
and Strength enough to give full justice
to the burdens tj»*t the office will lm-|
pose.
