INEXCUSABLE, BRUTAL IND1F ' FERENCE. On- the main line of the Southern railway yesterday passenger trains Noe. 36 and 11 were running some thing less than an hour late. The trains are due to arrive In Salisbury about 9 o'clock, and as No. 11 follows right behind No. 37, and as both car ry passengers and mail for Asheville. and the former carries a Pullman car for this city, a connection is made with No. 11, which is due here early in the afternoon. The connection is made, even when Jt is necessary to hold No. 11 at Salisbury for an hour or more, and It is sometimes held two hours. Yesterday morning, however, as soon as No. 11 on the Asheville division got the northern mall from No. 37 the train pulled out without waiting for about 15 passengers on No. 11 from the north, and the sick ened passengers could still see the smoke a few miles tip the line from the engine of the Asheville division train. It was a manifestation of the public-be-damned attitude with all variations which the peculiar circum stances seemed to afford. It is the rule, a sort of unwritten law, for the Asheville division train to wait at least' an hour. Yesterday the train did not wait that long, and if it had waited Just ten more minutes for the passengers it should have carried, it till would not have waited an hour. - The railroad people about Salis bury were inclined to agree with the left passengers that it was an unusual, a well as a brutal, thing to do. A good deal of effort was made to find out who waa responsible but of course, in the case of a large corpor ation, guilt la never personal. Pas sengers appealed to the ticket agent to see if it woulj be possible to get an engine to bring the sleeper on to Asheville. The ticket agent referred those complaining of the treatment accorded them persons whom he doubtless regarded aa a bunch of kickere and let it go at that to the yard master, and he, in turn, and in time, communicated with somebody In Asheville, who said the passengers would have io wait for No. 21, due to rrlys fa hour after dark. Some o( the sympathetic railroad people seemed to feel that the trouble lay In the fact that. In their opinion, this Asheville division m being run by two or three dispatchers instead of by the division superintendent 'Of. course there was heard the usual talk about suits for damages, from men who had business here, and who expected to make connections In Ashe ville for other points, and equally of Course, such suits will never be brought Apart from such consider- . ations, however, we believe that a railroad company makes a mistake In according the traveling public such treatment " If some railroad official, or some prominent railroad attorney, had been on board yesterday the com pany would not have allowed 1J or 15 passengers to be etranded at Salisbury yesterday. People realise these thing and It make them feel sore. There was1 not one of the passengers ye, terday who. If he la ever called to Jury' service, would not gladly hang the president of the Southern If one '. hl" worl1 tw'n should run over a dog. It was the Inexcusable, gratu itous and brutal Indifference of the performance that hurt. It could have been avoided, not only In one, but In wo ways, without the lose of a me Ttient of time. Moat of those who were left boarded No. 11 at Greens boro, or north of that point Both No. II and No. 17 atood In the yard at Greensboro for some time, and when passenger Inquired If . No. 11 would be certain to ronnect at Salis bury with the Aahevllle train they were assured by trainmen that It .would. The higher officials of the Southern probably know nothing about such In cidents and, aa before stated, It la al ways hnrd to place the renponslblllty. Tut eomebods' wm htiRlnciis It 1 to ,!a-u ku, ll r.fHM,nall.lty should trouble himself enough to perform this plain duty to the traveling pub lic. . '. f : ' THE DTESSEN "INTERVIEW." ' Of ; more than passing Interest is . the article published i yesterday in Paris Le Matin as an Interview of President Tjaft by Francois D'Teesen, in which tbie attitude of the President ' lowara - maaiy . international questions of moment was discussed. The. fact j that on it appearance a statement was promptly Issued at ' the . White House denying that the President au thorized the Interview and deploring the fact that one should so use Infor mation gained In the course of casual conversation does not lessen Its Inter est. , It has long been almost an un written hfw, very generally observed, that a President shall not give out direct statements in such form to the newspapers, and anyone would Imme diately conjecture that the writing was to that extent apocryphal. Some sage has observed that the unstudied utterances of men were more to be taken account of than though ted and premeditated emana tions, as revealing their minds. Added to Oiat tlie general tenor of the dis patch is so much In accord in most points with the known views of the president and so well In line with es tablished American policies that It reads '.wfcth much authenticity. THE FORTHCOMING MESSAGE. While the President's forthcoming message! to congress will deal almost exclusivoly with the trust question, this does . not mean necessarily that Mr. Taft Intends to minimize the tariff revision issue. Mr. Taft has repeat edly said that he would make his tariff recommendations in the light of the report of the tariff board, which has not yet been transmitted to him. When hte shall have had an oppor tunity to digest the findings of this body he will deal with the subject in a special message. In fact, it would seem that Mr. Taft is standing squarely behind the Sher man act;, wishing it buttressed by a federal Corporation law, and is dls posed to deal with the tariff In good faith. It is in other quarters that the effort is being made to paramount new. trust legislation to the neglect of the tariff. Perhaps In these quarters it is reflected that trust legislation is mostly wind-Jamming, anyway. Yesterday we attempted to submit a few remarks about "the bread of humility" and "feaster and feastlesa." The compositor thought it looked like "bread of humanity" and feaster and feasters" and it probably looked ae much like that as anything. Sporting gossip now begin to look again to the diamond for its topic. and the pennant contests will - be fought in advance wherever two or three fans are gathered together. It is wrong to put off your Christ mas shopping until the last minute. It Increases other people's burdens. Exit football. THANKSGIVING DAY. Let us look back upon the years, When first the Pilgrims came to this; Our native land. They left their homes amid their kins- .. men's Jeers, To find this land so full of bll Free from Oppression's hand. Amid the wintry winds they landed here, Upon our barren shore. Their only hope to worship without fear They ask'd no more. Then labor'd they with hearty might and main, Building their homes and towns with atrong elation. In such a manner thus they forged the chain That binds the basis of our nation. And In the Fall of 1(21 They held a meeting, very large and vast Thankful of tlielr dally victories won; And of their safe protection in the past In separate throngs they came at early morn. Each bringing something mighty fine to eat . . The maidens with the pumpkin and the corn The men with bag of dainty game (or meat Their quaint old tables, firm and very atrong Groan'd with the weight of dain ties highly heap'd. While they, with prayer and fervent song Gave thanks for their ."Harvest of Blessings'" rlghly reep'd, And so It Is, from then until the present day (No matter the mode of life we're living) With a loyal heart, we set apart in is day as a time of true "Thanksgiving." WILLIAM KEENER. The Mission Hospital. Editor of The Gasette-News: .' If the neonla of ialaviil. w. more about the Mission hospital, more of. Its work, of the Buffering that It relieves and of the comfort that H give to Buffering humanity, they would come forward voluntarily and spontaneously .and supply Ha every need. PeODla aanarallv in imI and stingy and selfish, at least we do not nave many of that kind in Ashe ville, but often ther fall tn nannna to a worthy cause for the reasons that they do hot have sufficient knowledge of It or their attention I hot properly uirertea to It . , , The Mlsalon honltl la not an . pirilent or a mere ronvenli.ru hni I. n neren.ity m this community. I huve had occasion recently to visit It often, and to - observe Its manage ment and its work, and I , have been brought to realise as I have never realized before the blessings it daily bestows upon suffering human ity.. - . i. ... What-we' need Is a new Are-proof hospital, 'equipped with all modern conveniences, which will accommo date several hundred patients, and cost not less than $100,000, to replace, the wooden structures which now oc cupy the hospital lot at the corner of Woodfin and College streets. No bet ter location can be found. It is ac cessible to the public and convenient for the doctors, and yet is sufficiently remote from the business center of the city to be free from disturbing noises. , . . ' -. . It would be very acceptable indeed if Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Rockefeller or some other millionaire would build for us such a hospital and donate it to the city, and it would pay 1000 per cent better dividend to humanity than many of the philanthropic schemes In which they are Investing, but it will no doubt be a long time before we get a new hospital from any such source. So let's build it ourselves. There are a number of people in Asheville whb will give $5000 to this enterprise and never miss ' it and many more who can give from $500 to $1000 and never miss it and thous ands who can give $100 and never miss it and everybody can give some thing. It would be an enterprise In which we would not be divided by politics, religion, creeds or even race. The prohibitionist and the anti-pro-hibitlontst could pull together In this undertaking. And when it Is com pleted and the stranger comes In our midst and asks who built that hos pital, we can say and say with pride "we built it" I would head the sub scription, but a I am one of the little fish In the pond, I wish for a few $5000 men to come first GEORGE A SHUFORD. Asheville, Nov. 29, '11. Dr. Balrd'8 Point of View. Editor of The Gazette-News. It seems that the small coterie of gentlemen who have been so zealously promoting the scheme for having a three thousand d llar physician for Buncombe county are still busy and that they have succeeded in getting the county board of health to adopt certain recommendations for the sani tary government of the county whk-h were prepared by the same committee that made a long and exhaustive re port to the board of county commis sioners some weeks ago upon this same subject and which was accompanied wlthi a long didactic poem of some what doubtful metric beauty, but tend ing to show the necessity of having an other high salaried officer for the county. It seems that these gentle men, while succeeding In getting the board of health to adopt their recom mendatlnos are somewhat troubled as to how they are going to provide for paying the Increased salary of this new officer. I submit that it is hardly fair to Mr. Erwin W. Patton for these arentlemen by their action to place him in a somewhat embarrassing po-, sltion being a member of the county board of health and at the same time -hairman of the board of county com missioners he would necessarily have :o- pass officially upon a matter of his own recommendation and this I am sure he has too nice a sense of pro priety to do. But it is suggested that possibly the board of education may come to the rescue and pay the ex tra salary of this county physician now if Mr. Chairman Powell and his board of education can find any law authorizing them to throw away a part of the seventy-five or eighty housand dollars of school money which they have this year for any such purpose as contemplated by this com mittee then I would like to know where they find it I doubt If they will be willing to use the school mon ey In any ouch way, they certainly have too much respect for the tax payers of Buncombe county to squan der their money for any auch unnec essary purpose and now while on the ubject of salaries If you will take the trouble to count up you will find that the people of Buncombe county u-e now paying annually to salaried officera nearly if not quite thirty thouaand dollar and thia doe not in- lude the aalarie paid to city offi cers which 1 perhaps aa much aa that paid to county officials. If you are going to continue to create new offices with high salaries then let us have their Incumbent electable by the people No amall coterie of men In Aahevllle or anywhere else no mat ter how progressive have a right to Impose such unnecessary . burdens upon the tapaver. of the count and they will And that the people are not rolng to submit to It If this scheme arries and this high salaried office is fastened upon the people then there win be a demand made upon the next legislature to make it Incum bent aa well aa that of county super intendent of education and all other salaried officer electable by the Deo Pie when the time come that the people are no longer credited with having sense enough ,to rule their own Affair then M will be time to change out form of government some men seem to think that the time for that -hange la now her. at it n it n n n k t k k it . FhEbI COMMENT. n, 5 K n K It n at It H tt H K K 5 WHAT DESIGN LCRK8 IX THE COLONEL'S MINDT A glance over our exchange list from day to Mny serve to show that the political world has perused with uncommon care the recent editorial of Colonel Roosevelt In the Outlook. Obviously, the Contributing Editor Is ued the pronunclamento for a pur pose, but whs', waa the ultimate pur pose? . The Immediate Intent, It Is equally obvious, was to credit Mr. Roosevelt and discredit Mr. Taft, but we are not prepared to accept the interpretation put upon the article by a part of the metropolitan press; that the colonel himself is hoping to be the benrficla-J ry. in tne wma way that Jefferson named Madison, and Jackson named Van Buren. Mr. Roosevelt called Mr. Taft to the presidency. That Colonel Roosevelt I highly displeased with the result of his handiwork one can not longer entertain a reasonable CHENEY'S HXPnCTOUANT Ooubt. The creator does not loot, with favor upon .olthrr the means or the methods em ployed, by the crea ture in dealing with the probJcms of national in. fort, andjt is a-noticeable circumstance that; -in his,' efforts to make out a ens against the' presi dent, the former president makes use of a letter written to. him by James R. Garfield, My great friend, whon Mr. Taft has set aside Cor Balllnger. But, as we have hitherto 'remarked, it Is by no means clear that the colo nel expects to be the beneficiary of an article .which got a rise out of the poMticat World, and bulled the stock market '' If. 'one feels warranted In ow.imU'g that Mr. Roosevelt is him self bpproaching that state of mind which miy be described a receptive, thon it must be admitted that he did a brill thing in diiectly Inviting at tention to the success which, has at tended the efforts of Senator LaFol lette in dealing with problems' Inci dent to the trusts and corporatipna in Wisconsin. Senator LaFollette Is un der flrej a Are dioected upon him mainly by the pro-trust newspapers In New York as a sort of iconoclast, a disturber of the peace in a way that tends to the destruction of legitimate business. Friends of the senator have Invited the attention of the business world to the fact that business , has been conserved in Wisconsin as it has been safeguarded perhaps in few other states; ;but It Is doubtful wheth er the effort of these active friends of the Wisconsin candidate' have borne the fruit that will InevitaTaly be borne by the Roosevelt editorial in the Outlook. If Mr. Roosevelt could make the country believe aa he man ifestly believes In the salty and san ity of Mr. LaFollette, then it is doubt (Contlnued on page 7) " ..
