THE IWILMINGTON MESSENGER, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1908 "4i LOOKS LIKE DEFEAT FOR THE , PRESIDENT. Several days ago there appeared in the Washington Post a communication on the railway rate fcill over the sig nature "Dickinson." The writer said it looked then as if the president had lost his 'fight for federal regulation of railway transportation charges; that a week previous it was announced that the Hepburn bill would pass the senate practically without amendment. Of course, said Dickinson, contingen cies may arise -which will swinj? ihe balance again in his favor, but at that moment there could be no doubt that the battle was going a'gainst him. Dick inson thus summed up the situation in the senate as it stood at the time of writing his letter: A week ago the chances were all in his (the president's) favor. That was before the breach on the democratic side of the senate chamber had be gun to widen. Now it seems almost certain that if a vote on the main proposition should be taken today, at least five democratic senators would vote with the forty or forty-two repub lican senators who are opposed to the president's contention for a limited court review. It has been pointed out in this news paper often that without a virtually unanimous democratic vote the house bill, amended so as to strengthen it in accordance with President Roose velt's views, could not get through the senate. At no time has there been a maximum of republican vote for it of more than fifteen. With thirty of the thirty-three democratic votes in the senate, this would give just the num ber of votes needed to carry the amended measure through the senate. Al! along it has been known that at least three democratic senators Messrs. Morgan, Pettus and McEnery were opposed to the proposition of a limited court review. In point of fact, these three veteran democrats are more nearly in accord with i-Vnator Foraker's outspoken antagonism to the entire policy of empowering tne inter state commerce commission to fix rail road rates than they Are with th-3 con tention of the overwh2lm:j maurity on their side of the chamber ba1 the relief sought from the ac.uai or the imaginary exactions of tlvj ra'oroads can he obtained only in the inan.ior in dicated by the presid nt'3 pi ogvE mme. Commenting on the above the Char lotte Observer has the following to say, which holds out no greater hopes for the president's success that does the article by Dickinson: It is further stated that the names of two other democratic senators who have joined the ranks of the so-called "conservatives" have not been given out, and the fact that Wall street is satisfied that no drastic legislation will be enacted is also cited as evidence of the real situation. The defeat of the rate bill would indeed be a severe blow to the president, who has appa rently staked nearly everything on that issue, letting the Philippine tariff measure and the statehood bill, which were evidently dear to his heart, go by the board in an effort to get the "par amount issue" through, and complete defeat would come near placing something- in the nature of a gulf between the White house and the capitol. The situation", with its kaleidoscopic changes and peculiar aspects, is an in teresting one. and there is no predict ing the final outcome with any. sort of certainty. The rate bill has hardly started; on its voyage through the senate and before the end it may en counter smooth sailing where only torm and disaster now seem to await it. The turn affairs have taken in the senate in the last day or two do not by any means indicate that the balance has yet begun to swing back toward the president's side or that plain sail ing for the bill is in sight. On the contrary, matters seem to be getting more complicated, the waters rougher and the pendulum moving -with in creased speed to the other side. It seems the success of the bill depands on thirty of the thirty-three demo cratic senators voting for it and that at least thre? are known to oppose the feature most urgently supported by the president. This shows how slim are the chances of success for the bill. It looks like the president is destined to another defeat at the hands of his own party though sup ported by such a large proportion of the democratic senators. With five million tons of coal stored In New York city at the opening of spring, what do the coal mine opera tors care if the mines are closed down for a few months They know who will suffer the most from a strike, or rather who will be the ones to suffer at all. That Chicago woman who willed all ber property to her attorney knew how to save her heirs from trouble. The fact that a Ush dealer of Xew Hern had to ship from cold storage in New York twenty barrels of trout in order to supply his customers shows how scarce are fish in the waters of eastern North Carolina. Very proba bly these very fish had been caught In the neighborhood of New Bern. "Judge" Hamilton should not keep those insurance men in longer sus pense. He should come out with all he knows and let the agony be over. May be he does not know as much as they think he does. A Ilaleigh newspaper says Governor Glenn is at his desk "preparing ma'ter for his message to the next legisla ture." He must be trying to rival President Roosevelt as to the length of his message. . -( . - ' - ' THE POLL TAX. The News and Observer comes out in an editorial in favor of abolishing the municipal poll tax, claiming it Is a hardshp on the man who has no property on which to pay tax. Con sidering the fact that The News and Observer was a strong advocate of the amendment to the state constitu tion requiring a man to pay his poll tax before he could vote, one of that paper's arguments against the injus tice of the poll tax is quite peculiar. Speaking of the combined state, coun ty and city poll tax it says that "nat urally the effect is to foster general discontent, to reduce the suffrage among a class fitted in every way for the exercise of the 'ballot and, in many Instances, to work real hardship and suffering." One day that paper says a man should be made to pay his poll tax before he can vote. The next it calls for the abolition of the poll tax because it keeps that man from voting. Because in some cities and counties the poll tax is too . high Is no argu ment against the principle. Every man should be willing to pay something toward the support of the govern ment, state and municipal, which gives protection to his life and his property. If he has no property on which to pay his proportional part of the gov ernmental expense he should be will ing to pay a reasonable poll tax for the privilege he enjoys and the pro tection he has under that government. One would suppose from reading The News and Observer editorial that the poll tax was a device designed by the enemies of the wage-earner and the poor man solely for the purpose of robbing them of their hard earned money; that it was especially insti tuted to bring hardships upon them: that it was iniquitous class legisla tion aimed by the rich against the poor. The object of that editorial may not be to pander to a certain element of our population or to stir up class ani mosity; t)ut its, tendency most surely is in that direction. No good can come, to any one by such attempts to create discontent and ill feeling be tween the different elements of society. If it is dangerous to pedestrians for vehicles drawn by horses to turn certain corners of the city streets fas ter than a horse's walk is it not equal ly so as to automobiles? The city or dinance as to the former should be amended so as to include the latter class of vehicles. They are frequent ly seen to turn'v street corners at a speed which would result in the arrest of the driver of a horse were he to go at the same speed. We saw this done twice yesterday afternoon by the same machine in the course of pass ing from Market to Princess street by way of Second. A school district committeeman in Mecklenburg county so far forgets his manners and good breeding as to abuse a lady teacher and refuse to hear her side of the case when she had whipped one of his children at tending her school. The board of ed ucation very properly dismissed him from the board. The young lady may have been in the wrong; but If so that did not justify the man in acting in an ungentlemanly manner toward her. Had it been somebody else's child no doubt the committeeman would have told her she had done exactly right The Gastonia News says that if President Roosevelt does appoint Marion Butler secretary of the in terior he will not raise himself in the estimation of the people of North Carolina. The Winston Sentinel says in reference to" the same report as to the president's intentions that it can well be supposed it was circulated for advertising purposes. Few North Car olinians are pleased at the Idea of But ler being thus honored by the presi dent. Wonder if it makes Marion Butler feel any bigger to have the papers of his state criticising the president for even thinking about giving him a cab inet position. The comments of the I state press on this rumor have not been at all complimentary to the ex-senator; but we suppose he had rather have the papers abuse him than not to be be- I fore the public at all. Extra Session of Kentucky Legislature. Frankfort, Ky.k March 14. The ex tra session of the legislature which called after midnight fry oGvernor Beckham convened today. According to the governor's message, the extra session was called to pass a law as sessing a tax on rectifiers of spirits, a tax which the legislature failed to include in the revenue, frill passed by the session which ended . last night. The governor places the .blame for de feat of the rectifiers' tax section to the alleged whiskey lobby. - DTOB Beant&e The Kind You Have Always Bosga Mayor Gibbs Re-elected. Columbia, S. C, March. 13. T. Hazel Glbbs, mayor of Columbia, was reelct ed today by a substantial majority, defeating State Senator J. Q. Marshall. According to Senator Foraker the Hepburn bill is no good, any way you may look at it. He says it Is unconstitutional,- but if it 13 not, then it is a cheat and a fraud and will not give shippers the relief they have been led to expect from its provisions. Senator Tillman declares himself as being "suspicious of the paternity of the bill, even of the brat itself." Hardly any two senators agree entirely in their views of the measure. The natural re sult of such conditions 13 defeat of the bill. In order to get even with the Ohio legislature for passing the bill fixing all passenger rates at two cents a mile the railroads in that state will no longer issue round trip tickets at re ruced rates or give special rates for conventions or any kind of public meetings. Clergymen will be charged full fare and rates for excess baggage will be raised fifty per cent It looks like the people are going to get the worst of it in that fight with the rail way companies. HOLTON SEEMS SAFE Sub-Conimittee to 3Iake Favorable Re port Blackburn Wants 3Iatter Postponed The Goldsboro Post- mastership. Senator Foraker, chairman of tb sub-judiciary committee to which was referred the charges in opposition to the confirmation of District Attorney Holton, has notified Representative Blackburn that a meeting of the mem bers will be held Tuesday to take ac tion with regard to reporting the nom ination. Belief prevails that the sub committee will report favorably on Hoi ton's nomination to the full judic iary committee, Senator Foraker and members of the committee have indi cated as much in conversations with the North Carolina senators recently. The nomination would have been re ported favorably last Monday, and that was the program, but for the fact that several of the members were very much occupied with reference to the railway rate discussion. Mr. Blackburn wants the committee to make a further investigation and would like to have witnesses examin ed. The members of the committe feel that the district attorney has com pletely answered Blackburn's charges, though it is possible that action may be deferred to give Mr. Holton time to answer the congressman's latest con tribution, which is said to be a repeti tion of former accusations. If the sub-committe decides in fa for of confirmation, it is said that Blackburn will have his attorneys come to Washington to join in a re quest to the full committee that con firmation be delayed until after Black burn's trial. Ex-Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson talk ed to the senator today about defeat ing Grant's confirmation. He had no charges against .Grant, but said he thought Dobson should be given an other term. Senator Simmons said he could not ask that the confirmation be held up longer without a more im portant reason than the one assigned. Judge Robinson also met Senator Carter, of Montana by appointment made by ex-Senator Butler with ref erence to the Grant nomination. The judge did not receive much satisfac tion, and left for home tonight Wash ington Special to News and Observer.

Bellamy give a guarantee w;tb every Hyomei outfit that the treatment will cost nothing unless it cures. To Take Human Life to Prevent suf fering. A doctor in the Ohio legislature has introduced a bill requiring physicians to take human life in cases in which there is great suffering and death is certain to result and also to prevent the rearing of children who are hid eously deformed or hopelessly idiotic In speaking of his bill he rightly said: "My measure is a humane one. It may be that it is too revolutionary to pass this legislature, but the time will surely come and that, too, within the next 20 years when some such law i will be on our statute books." We doubt it. We don't ''believe the time will ever come when such law wiii J be placed upon the statute books of i this country. Charlotte Chronicle.
