Senate Committee Does Not Sustain
Charge of Bribery Against Him.
By Wire to The Reflector.
Washington, Dec. 21.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
today submitted to the senate the
evidence taken in the investigation
of the charge of bribery against Sen-
and that in their
opinion his title to the seat in the
senate has not been shown to be in-
validated by the use or employment of
corrupt methods or practice. The
report fully vindicates say-
if there was any bribery there
was nothing to show that he knew
about it, and that if all charged with
bribery were guilty it would not have
changed the result. With this con-
and finding in their report,
the committee requested to be dis-
charged.

The approaching Christmas is

the fact that Sunday is distinctly

probably lend intensity to the
ons services which heretofore have
usually been held several days be-
fore or after the magical and en-
chanted 25th. The famous day will
fall on Sunday again until

natural rotation Christmas would
come on Sunday again in 1916, but

Out of Pocket
In fixing lower and more reason-
able charges for sleeping car berths,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
estimates that this reduction will
amount to nearly a and a half
dollars annually.
That is the sum which the people
of the United States have heretofore
been forced to pay the Pullman com-
in excess of the real value of
the service they received. Such is
the logical inference from the com-
mission's statement.
The fact that this million and a half
dollars has been over the
entire country and, as a tax, has
been collected piece-meal from thou-
sands of different persons does not
lessen its injustice or loss which
It represents to the American public.
Such Is the case with all excessive
transportation charges. Because
they are paid for in dimes and
they are none the less a bur-
den upon the people and eventually
upon the individual.
This is to which the public
is Just beginning to wake, as it is
Just beginning to waken the evils of
an extortionate government Any
that represents more than a
fair return upon the cost and value
of the service rendered is harmful to
the interests of every man, every in-
and every in the
nation. The injustice which the
people permit collectively, they pay
for one by one.
And so this million and a half
dollars which went into the Pullman
company's treasury when, according
to the commission it belongs right-
fully in the pockets of the traveling
public, has been a national loss,
vial perhaps in its individual Items,
but tremendous In the aggregate.

When the Earth Freezes to Death
The earth is slowly but surely
growing colder, says Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley, of pure food fame. There
will come a time, according to his
theory, when straw hats will never
be in fashion and when ladies will
carry hot water bottles instead of
fans. Finally, even that portion of
the race that dwells along the equator
will give the furnace a good-by poke,
curl up and freeze to death.
The terror of this prophecy are
somewhat softened by the fact that
its fulfillment is still a few million
of years away and before the long
cold spell settles down in earnest
posterity may escape in
to a more genial planet. But ac-
cording to known facts of science,
which are proverbially cold them-
selves, Dr. Wiley's prediction is far
from merely fanciful. The earth has
been steadily cooling for many
and so has the sun. Good
and true have reckoned that the sun
cannot supply enough light and heat
to serve man for more than ten mil-
lion years. Every second, day and
night, it Is throwing off its warmth at
a prodigious rate, and even the sun
can't expect to stand such
forever.
And thus run our mortal theories.
But we are reminded Just here, of the
story an old professor used, to tell.
There once lived a race of little
whose abode was on a therm-
and each of whom lived but
a second. They were an inquisitive,
lot and of a most scientific turn of
mind. And so they began making
a record of the readings of the In-
which was their universe.
For ten generations careful notes
were kept. At the end of that
period, the found
to their alarm that the mercury In
the tube was rising at the rate of one
hundredth or a degree each second.
Ten later, these read-
were formulated Into a theory
and when the sixtieth generation,
that is, a minute, was reached no
intelligent could any
longer doubt that eventually the
mercury would strike top of the
tube, overflow and wipe their race
out of But after the
lapse of three hundred generations
It was found, to the chagrin of the
scientists but the great Joy of the
populace at large, that the mercury
had actually started down again.
Whereupon, the story concludes, even
the wiseacres the
were constrained to admit
that there were more things in heaven
and earth than were dreamed of in
their Journal.

Why Cleveland Chose White.
Judge White was appointed to the
Supreme court while a senator from
1894 by President Cleve-
land Mr. Cleveland previously
nominated W. B. Hornblower, who
was not confirmed, and then named
Senator White, who, being a senator,
was at once unanimously confirmed,
even without reference to the
Judiciary committee of the senate.
The appointment was a gratifying
surprise. David B. Hill, then a
tor from New York, and William F.
then a Republican
tor from New Hampshire, opposed
the confirmation of Wheeler H. Peck-
ham, and so did George F. Ed-
chairman of the
committee and senator from
Mr. a Democrat,
had opposed Hill in this State. Mr.
Chandler, m a Republican, opposed
W. H. on party grounds.
Mr. however, went on
record with the statement that
Wheeler H. lacked the
requisite Judicial temperament. Mr.
however, favored the
nomination of Mr. Hornblower, but
the latter was rejected by the in-
of Hill and Chandler, and it
was then that Chandler, in a speech,
said he did not Cleve-
land could name any man for the
Supreme court whom the senate
ought to The very next
morning Mr. Cleveland nominated
Senator White, whose unanimous
confirmation instantly followed, be-
the power, either of Hill or of
Chandler to prevent it. Mr. Cleve-
land's grim comment on Chandler

Christmas and Fireworks.
The man from a northern state
who comes into our midst seldom
fails to find a cause for amusement
in the fact that we expend our stock
of fireworks in celebrating Christ-
mas instead of the Fourth of July, as
is the custom in the region whence
he came.
Our own private opinion is that
works in the hands of the small
boy and irresponsible grownup is a
source of annoyance and often a real
danger, but if we must have this an-
and this danger once during
the course of the year, we see no
special reason why Christmas time
should not be selected as the time of
the cracker and the rocket.
Logically considered, it might per-
haps be said that fire works should
be a military or
a civil holiday in preference
to festival. But who ever
stops to consider this phase of the
question The ordinary use of fire
works is not of any special
It is a way that the
small boy has of amusing himself
by the indulgence of making of
noise that is dear to every small boy's
heart.
It is certainly a local custom, and
that, we think, is sufficient for its
justification. There may be no
cal ground upon which it can be
upheld, but we have little patience
with the iconoclast who is always
poking around looking for logical
reasons for local customs.
On general principles we are
against works, if we must
have them, then let it be at Christ-
mas time as well as at any other

Parent and Teacher.
A issue of The Gastonia
Gazette, in a column devoted to
school affairs, puts its finger upon one
of the greatest difficulties faced by
teachers in our secondary
a parent requires a special re-
port on his says The Gazette,
should thank the teacher for the
interest that sent it. It seems some-
times that the kind of interest which
tries to urge the pupil to higher en-
is not appreciated. Patrons
sometimes put a premium upon in-
difference and lax requirements by
failing to show appreciation for the
teacher who is after the lazy or in-
different boy or girl. The parents
often have no idea of how inattentive
to duty their children may
The trouble arises largely from a
mistaken conception of the
of teaching on the part of the
parent. When he calls in a doctor or
a lawyer he leaves the case entirely
in his hands, and there is a very wide
spread disposition to treat the child's
education after the same fashion.
The teacher supposed to

his hands of his child's education at

is that the proper education of the

One Lesson of the Election.
Through all the political cross-cur-
rents, one clear tendency, one strong
desire of the people, can everywhere
be made out. It is the strengthening
movement to tone up government
generally, to make it better in
pose, cleaner in and more
efficient in method. If any party or
any leader is looking for the real
elections of 1910, it may be found in
this.; There been much talk of
the determination of the citizens to
pronounce for or against certain
and to approve or condemn one
personality, or another. All this is in
the realm of certainty. What can-
not be questioned, however, is the
manifest intent of the voters to re-
degradation of the public
vice, and to sustain all who are
working to make office holding
honesty and capacity. The
of the highest court of appeal on
election day may have brought dis-
to one party and hope
to another, Joy or depression to can-
but it yielded only good
cheer to those who have all along
contended that the people will

In Day opinion the chief justice and

In the state. There labors should be
lightened. This can be accomplished
in one of two ways. First, by the
establishment of an intermediate
court of appeals. More than one-half
of the states in the union have such
courts, and when once established
can sit in the eastern and western
circuits, and the courts would thus
be brought nearer to the people, and
the expense of litigation decreased.
These courts should be empowered
to finally dispose of all but the most
Important eases. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals has saved

States from complete inundation, and
a of appeals will do the
same for the supreme court of the
Not only would the labors of
the justices of the Supreme court be
lightened; but cases would be much
more speedily determined.
The same result could be
though possibly in a less
desirable way, by increasing the
of associate justices from
four to six. The supreme court could
then work In two divisions, and by
the addition of two justices the work-
capacity cf the court could be
doubled. This plan has been adopted
in a number of the states in the
union, and gives entire satisfaction.
The general rule is that if all the
judges of one do not agree
the case is submitted in conference
to the entire court, but if the
ion that hears the case is unanimous
in its opinions, the ease is never sub-
to the other division at all.

DIES OF DEATH THOUGHT.
For Years Perfectly Well, Complained

Death by auto-suggestion, in much
the same manner that Mark Twain
made famous in a serious

Islands, is reported from
the Kings County Hospital, Brook-
in the case of Daisy
fifty-five years old.
The woman had snow-white hair,
a vigorous body and was healthful
in appearance. She had no known
ailment although she had been -an
Inmate of hospital for two and a
half years. She entered the

examined her found her to be per-

she suffered from ailments and
came to be an expert in defining
symptoms. Specialists examined her
several times because of the
rate descriptions of symptoms of

Her vanity for prettily be-ribboned
night robes was inordinate. Once she
was sent to the observation ward for
the insane. But she could not even
prove the possession of mental

committed. She was at worst merely
eccentric.
For the first time in her long stay
at the hospital the woman developed
a real malady Sunday. Yet it

and not a serious cold at that. But
she brooded over it, magnified it into

doctors and nurses, without any real

Mr. C. Hooker, a former cit-

remains were brought to Greenville

The Small Farm.
The organization in this city of a
company to purchase plantation
acres of land, then divide them into
small farms and offer these to hens
farmers of more or less
pendent, but limited means, is the
of the execution of a long
cherished theory that the South
would prosper most when the old
plantation could be sub-divided and
occupied by proprietary farmers in-
stead of depending upon colored and
other tenants. The best stimulus to
the white farmer, native or
grant, is open door of ownership
of a to acre farm. The best in-
to the colored man ts the
open-door of ownership of a small
farm of comparatively small area
a number of acres that he can
care himself.
Big plantations have meant, ever
since the civil war, a dependent ten-
and a helpless poverty for the
owner. The tenant system on the old
plantations practically precludes that
diversity in farming that makes for
the best success. Cotton cotton cot-
ton and poverty poverty spiritless
poverty have been the rule. Small
farms, owned by their occupants,
mean increased population and great-
increased thrift among tho own-

Parent and Teacher.
A issue of The Gastonia
Gazette, in a column devoted to
school affairs, puts its finger upon one
of the greatest difficulties faced by
teachers in our secondary schools,
a parent receives a special re-
port on his says The Gazette,
should thank the teacher for the
interest that sent it. It seems some-
times that the kind of interest which
tries to urge the pupil to higher en-
is not appreciated. Patrons
sometimes put a premium upon in-
difference and lax requirements by
failing to show appreciation for the
teacher who after the lazy or in-
different boy or girl. The
often have no idea of how inattentive
to duty their children may
The trouble arises largely from a
mistaken conception of the
of teaching on the part of the
parent. When he calls in a doctor or
a lawyer he leaves the case entirely
in his hands, and there is a very wide
spread disposition to treat the child's
education after the same fashion.
Tho teacher is supposed to
her and the parent washes
his hands of his child's education at
that point. The truth of the matter
is that the proper education of the
child cannot brought about except
through close and harmonious co-
operation between parent and teach-

One of the Election.
Through all the political cross-cur-
rents, one clear tendency, one strong
desire of the people, can everywhere
be made out. It is the strengthening
movement to tone up government
generally, to make it better in
pose, cleaner in and more
efficient in method. If any party or
any leader is looking for the real
elections of 1910, it may be found in
this. There has been much talk of
the determination of the citizens to
pronounce for or against certain
and to approve or condemn one
personality or another. All this is in
the realm of certainty. What can-
not be questioned, however, is the
manifest intent of the voters to re-
degradation of the public
vice, and to sustain all who are
working to make office holding
honesty and capacity. The
of the highest court of appeal on
election day may have brought dis-
to one party and hope
another, Joy or depression to can-
but it yielded only good
cheer to those who have all along
contended that tho people will
ways rise to intelligent leadership,
and that their deepest wish is to
pluck their government from the
hands of the and the
Century.
Fire in Bethel Township.
On Sunday night the home of Mr.
J. S. Brown, in Bethel
with nearly everything in the
way of furniture in the house, was
destroyed by fire. His children were
away a visit and Mr. Moore was at
home alone. He was awakened
about o'clock by being almost stilled
with smoke and found the house
burning rapidly that neither the
building nor contents could be saved.
It is not known how the fire started.
He had about insurance, but this
will hardly cover a fourth of the loss.

Christmas Day Meeting Well
Attended.
There was quite a good attendance
at the Christmas day meeting of the
Men's Prayer League that was held
in the Presbyterian church. The sub-
for the day was Christmas
and the leaders, Messrs. J. S.
Norman, B. B. Thomas, and J. G.
Latham, all discussed it interestingly,
others following them in short talks.
The speakers all urged more of the
Christ spirit and a saner observance
of Christmas, also the doing of
Christ-like deeds the year
as well as at Christmas.
On next Sunday, new year's day,
the meeting will be held in the Chris-
church. The subject for the day
is the Year With Text,
part of Gen. and John
Leaders Messrs. J. W. Bryan, B. W.
Moseley and J. L. Little. There
ought to be a very large attendance
at the new year meeting, for It will
help those there to begin the year
right.

It seems that there is a proposed con-

occupy the attention of the members,
and giving them ample time to prop-
consider such matters as are of
State-wide importance. Under that
amendment, the recorder's court
might be established by the county
commissioners or other local
ties upon a vote of the qualified voters
affected, thereby relieving the
