Thursday, May 1, .1913 WHY IS ORTKR XOT MAINTAINED IS Tilt; I'lTY Ol' ASHKVIIjLK? In their statement and appeal to the public, their solemn prayer to this "great court of equity and of eonsei . ence, the representatives of the street car men say: "We deprecate any and all violence, Injury, disorder or bloodshed, ami we discountenance, and will continue to rilwnuntenaee nil such tilings, and we hereby most earnestly appeal to all our sympathizers and friends, and to the citizens generally, to refrain from any act of violence or disorder." The Asheville Light and Power company have In accordance with their rights under the laws of the land asKed the mayor and board of alder men of the city of Asheville and the constituted authorities of Buncombe county to afford them protection of their employes and their property. Yesterday morning Chief of Police Lyerly issued instructions to both reg ular and special police officers that no crowd was to be allowed at any place, that the people were to be told to "move on" one time, and if they did not obey they were to be arrested and tolten to headquarters. The party having the most at Btake, the most to fear and the most to lose, the ge' ;ra public, would like some I explanation and understanding. What is the status of the police offi cers of Asheville, regular and special, todny, after the Instructions Issued to them yesterday? Instead of no crowds being allowed at any place, crowds congregated In the public square in the center of Asheville, practically the whole day. Crowds marched through the streets at will, hooting and yelling. A crowd for hours invested the prop erty of the electric company, and commlted deeds of violence; It finally dispersed at will. Will the men who have been placed by the people of Asheville and Bun combe county at the head of their government erplulri these things? Why do you not keep order and seem ly decency In the streets of Asheville? Is it because you desire to assist the strikers? Is it on account of your sympathy a natural sympathy, which many feel for them? But they have asked you to maintain order; do yon mean for the general public to under stand that you consider the peaceable protestations of the strikers as a ghastly hypocrisy? Are you actuated by ' a desire to aid the company? Well, they have asked you to pre serve order. Are we to understand that you consider them hypocrites, too? Are you actuated by your concep tion of duty and obligation to the gen eral public? Do you think that the people of Asheville are engaged In the deliberate attempt to wreck their town? j Is your failure to keep the peace due to inability? If by any reason of extraordinary circumstances you are inadequate for the performance of your solemn vows and obligations, do you not think It Is the public's right to know this, and your duly to warn them? The people mn then adopt one of three courses th. y can submit and take the risk for the company and the men l u compose their differences, they in mov-,1 elsewhere or they can ask l-'o lo protect them. 1 t PRESIDENT'S EXTRAORDINARY , TASK. As leader of the Democratic party and a citlsen of New Jersey. Mr. Wll son is putting aside his Presidential duties for a day or so to enter the lists for a reform measure In that State: and his experiment will be watched with interest throughout the country Where the New Jersey Jury system Is understood, the President's insistence on a charge is sympathized with as to the political expediency of the move there is more doubt To Mr Wilson, however, his duty seems clear. When his elevation to the Presidency removed him from New Jersey politic he left unaccomplished several New jersey reforms to which he was committed, among them the jury re form bill. At that time prospects seemed to favor the enactment of this bill. With Wilson removed, however. the Smith-Nugent forces got very busy in their accustomed way, and "now claim to have the legislature com mittedto them on this project Mr. Wilson believes that their ascendency In the legislature would mean the party's defeat at the polls. The Republicans and Progressives already are finding much comfort in conditions in the State that last year gave the Democratic party its success ful candidate, and there is even now talk of a coalition. The Smith-Nugent people, furthermore, claim that they already have the situation as regard.s coming legislation in hand and say the President is merely inviting hu miliation by throwing himself into this local scale. The manner in which he fares will be watched by the whole country. WORKING TO A CLIMAX. Home Secretary McKenna's policy of handling the militant suffragettes is now working toward a much de sired climax. Passivity has become activity and energetic measures art under way to suppress or drive from the country these hysterical and notoriety seeking women. And, not withstanding Mrs. Belmont's predic tion that such means cannot avail and that "persecution" will help the mili tants the British public seems disposed to take their discomfiture very philo sophically to beai- up under it with remarkable complacence. The fact seems to be that the mili tants have alienated suffragists and opponents of suffrage alike. Militancy has been growing more distinct from the general suffrage propaganda. It has been charged that the organiza tion upon which the police descended has virtually been appropriated by Mra Pankhurst and her relatives and allies, and converted to their eads. If the government, as has come to be suspected, let matters drift along un til the militants so completely lost popular sjmpathy that the law might deal with them as It saw fit, Secre tary McKenna is hardly deserving of all the reproach and invective heaped upon him. He seems to l.ave accom plished his end very neatly. Inciden tally woman suffrage in Great Britain has been delayed man yyears, at the best.

AlilN TO GENIUS Senator Work's effort to establish a federal censorship over the news papers of the District of Columbia, to the end that publicity may not be given crime and that sensationalism may be toned down, will fall for an other reason than that the people do not want it. The district commission ers are not convinced that the Inno vation would be desirable even should the people want it Say they In a report to congress: ihe publicity given by the press generally tends to lessen evil condl Hons and thus renders a nufni ur vice to the public.' That dread of pub ncny nas a deterrent influence upon those disposed or temnterl to rrlmo may be inferred from the fact that most offenders seek to avoid exposure or tneir misbehavior in newspaper re ports- There is simplicity akin to genius In this confounding of Senator Works Probably one of these excellent com mlssloner has had newspaper exper lence .
