A Bad Break.
Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer.
That was a bad break Prof.
Malachy Dryer made out in
Montana, when he got up to lick
a divine healer and then dropped
dead before he had started in on
the job. It does not matter that
the coroner's jury found that
death was due to "heart failure
produced by excitement. He was
about to hit the divine healer,
the latter 'scalled on God to pro-
tect him" and Malachy dropped
dead. The divine healers all
over the country have been given
a boost for which they wouldn't
take any amount of money. Prof.
Malachy no doubt meant we'll,
but he would have done better
had he kept his temper.

evening with our sick, and came
near losing their buggy by the

thought the buggy was smashed

the only damage done was a brok-

Thore are too many useless

many dogs in North Carolina. If
every dog in the State were taxed
at the rate of about two dollars a

a wholesome provision. More
schools and better schools would
be the result, bringing wider and
ever widening blessings to the

As an illustration of the value
of advertising we can cite a little
incident which occurred last week
with Mr.. A. T. Griffin, the pro-
prietor of of the single mill on
the banks of Neuse river. Mr.
Griffin advertised a s'shingle
schools IN the ARGUS. 1t must be
admitted that a "shingle SCHOOL,
is a rather new departure along
the line of education, but new as
it is. Mr.. Griffin had such a large
number of attendants on the omen
ing day that he came up to the
city that night and said that he
would have to leave his advertise
ment out of the ARGUS, as he all
ready had pupils than he
could accommodate. The object of
his single school was to educate
the people as to the quality of
shingles and at the same time sell
to the retail trade at wholesale
, prices when application was made
in person at his plant.

Mauila, Feb. 6.-Careful esti-
mates place the Filipinos losses up
to date at 1000 dead, $500 wound
ed and 5000 taken prisoners,
The American loss was not heavy
either in killed or wounded. Our
blue coats showed Uncle Sans
metal and the Filipinos will now
know that they have some one to
fight. Dewey and Otis are capable
of holding their own until reinforce
ments arrive. The battle is now
on and we must keep it up until

The suit brought by the prosecuting at
torney of Madison county against the pro-
POSED combination of window glass COM
panies is Of public interest because it in
wolves principles of general application. The
suit is brought in the name of the State
and makes defendants the Indiana window
glass works of Elwood. the Clyde window
glass works. the Union glass works of An
derson, the Anderson Glass Company and
the Victor Glass Company of Anderson. The
Anderson Bulletin gives the following out
line of the complaint:
The State charges that the defendants are
corporations organized and now existing un-
der the laws of Indiana; that they organized
ard procured their charters and franchises
and sell window glass. The State alleges
that the corporations have abandoned and
are now in the act Of abandoning their
charters and the objects and purposes for
also alleges that the glass companies are
applying their franchise for Illegal purposes
that by so doing they surrender and forfeit
their rights and privileges as corporations.
1t Is also set forth In the complaint that
they have exercised powers not conferred
by the law of Indiana because they have
entered into an agreement to bind them
selves into an unlawful and illegal con-
SplI dly. Il 10 dlicScu ina Tic COIlpdIltS
have entered into a contract and an agree
ment with one another and with other per-
sons. firms and corporations by terms which
they pretend to sell for a cash conSidera-
ton all their property and franchises. rights
and privileges as such corporations. 1t is
also alleged by the State that the COM
trust. BY doing this it is charged they are
doing a great damage to the citizens of the
State. IL Is also alleged that the companies
have secretly entered into a contract COM
hitting an Illegal contract and conspiracy.
The State asks the court that each company
be dissolved and a receiver appointed TO
take charge and close up the business and
affairs of the company.
From this 1t appears that the complaint
alleges that the corporations have forfeited
their charters by violating them to do some
thing that they do not authorize. and that
they are also about to violate the anti
trust law. Whether an injunction will lie
to prevent a corporation from violating a
law which is not yet violated. and without
an averment of damage or threatened dam
&c TO somebody's rights or property. may
be questioned. The other ground, however.
seems to be well AIKEN. Corporation char
| tiers should be strictly construed and the
| exercise of unauthorized powers should
| work a forfeiture Of the charter. The right
to manufacture and sell window glass does
Lot include the right to erect plants for
sale or TO enter into agreements with other
corporations for restricting product or rails
ing prices. A corporation that derives its
existence and all its powers from the State
has no right to do anything not clearly en-
braced in or covered by its charter. There
should be an adjudication of all the points
| involved in this case by the Supreme Court.

street.Car suggestions.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
l read with much interest the letter in
Thursdays issue or the street car question.
The suggestions, 1t seems to me. are all
good and feasible, particularly regarding the
senseiess knockouts of lines running north
west, more especially the North Indianap-
oils line. Twice this week 1 was unfortu-
nate enough to see the SIS p. m. car going
past as 1 got to the corner of Meridian and
Washington streets. The next car came
along at ten minutes of Z. Very few people
got a chance TO board IL, for the reason
that the car was behind time" Inquire
the cause Of delay and you will invariably
find out there was a car off the track just
over Fall creek bridge or there was a
car in the ditch out East Tenth street" L
think such a run as North indianapolis and
East Tenth street ought TO be dissolved.
Let the North indianapolis cars run 10 the
depot or else connect with some line where
the cars won't be in the ditch all the time.
But the boss idea is the turntables at Ken
lucky and Virginia avenues, and let all car
lines simply feed into the center of the city.
transfers ought to be accepted on any line
with a good time limit. III our particular
line is knocked out let US take the next best
nearest to our destination. There ought TO
be another step on the summer cars. 1t
must be irritating TO the conductor for an
old. feeble lady 10 board his housekeeping
time schedule. II seems presumptuous for
ordinary mortals to suggest to street-rail-
road moguls. but this Is a public question
and suggestions may do some good.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Since the proper committee of the inter-
national Epworth League convention. which
met here recently, has given the public no
proper and adequate explanation of the fail
ure of General John B. Gordon to appear

you would publish the following letter
from General Gordon:

Dear Sir-The announcement that / was
to lecture at indianapolis is to me a great
mystery. / had never heard of 1t until long
after the occasion had passed, when some

munication with me on the subject by any
person. / was in absolute ignorance or the
fact that / was expected there at all. and.

In justice TO General Gordon it is no
more than right that the people should
know that his failure to come was through
no fault OF his. but through the inexcus-
able bungling of some official or committee
