Why, the HeraId's Opposition?

The Harrison County Herald opposes street
RAILWAYS la this connection the Telegram calls
ATTENTION to the fact that number of enterprising
citizens obtained from the city council franchise
for street railway and also the same permission
from the county court to build line along the
public road. The construction of the line means
the expenditure of several hundred thousand dol
lars and its operation will prove of great benefit to
the city and county. The advantages following
its construction and by its operation are easily and
readily conceived by every one, so that we need
scarcely enumerate them. Any one at all familiar
with the operation of street railways recognize
them as an advanced step in progress and civil
izaton. The conveniences to be derived by way of
quick travel rapid transit of freight, quick dis
patch of business and in various other avenues of
living are equal to and really greater than those
afforded by railroads, and no one denies that the
latter are good for any country. Besides
there will be ample public road along the
route of the street railway. The city aud county
fully protected by the county courtiu the grant
of this right. The company is required by the
grant to put the public road in good condition and
is prohibited from obstructing or impeding public
travel When the line is completed there will not
be so much use as at present for the public road.
The necessity for repairs will be less and as a
creased, the same amount of money now raised
will put and keep the road in far better condition
Again, permit us to refer once more TO street rail
ways as great step toward modern progress and
Americanism. Noteworthy examples are the hust.
ling business cities and towns in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states, where street
railways form almost network over large areas of
country. An examination of these systems soon
convinces the opponent of street railways and
progress of the excellence of street railway lines
and demonstrates the fact that without them we
are behind the times. 1t s astounding in this age
of progress and activity why any newspaper should
oppose improvements, and We are led to inquire
why the Herald opposes the street railway. Is
it because of a distaste for advancement and
progress or because of personal spite against the
parties who used such earnest efforts to bring
about the greatestimprovement that has come to
Harrison county since the construction of the
Short Line railroad began?

rangement Of the prison house. civilized peof
pie should no longer suffer such an outrageous
state of affairs ana we believe, would rejoice over
the opportunity to pay the additional tax neces-
sary for the erection Of Jail in keeping with the
high civilization OF our county. We are told the
county court has the matter under serious con-
temptation and has gone so far as to look after
plans and specifications which will be submitted
at the June term Of court by various architects.
Speaking for the people, as we believe the Iele-
gram urges the court TO act favoraoly upon the
subject and to take immediate steps for the con-
struction OF a modern building.

30 Conclusions, many Of which, and we believe all,
have no foundation whatever. The bitter denunci-
lions INDUCED in by the leading democratic par
isans Of the country against the court because OF
he decision are sufficient evidence that the demo.
cratic contention has not been sustained and cor.

Three distinct classes OF action were involved;
one protesting against the collection of tariff upon

armed occupancy of the island and before the date
of the ratification OF the treaty Of peace another
protesting against tariff charges on imports be-
tween the ratification and the passage of the For
aker act and a third attacking the Foraker act as
unconstitutional The last named class was the

Cision is a triumph for the administration and the
republican party. And as Attorney. General
Grggs truly says "This country has the legal right
70 govern its new possessions as Territories, to
make special laws for them and to tax their pro.
ducts. This has been the contention of the admin.
istration from the very start 1t was the principal
issue in the last compaign for President. Our
Porto Rican legislation was selected by Mr. Bryan
as the main point of his attack in his Indianapolis
speech. The decision puts quietus on that sort
Of thing and takes the matter out of politics for all
time"
The decision says the Constitution follows the
Flag in broad sense but not in respect to the i'm
position of tariff and taxation. In that regard
Congress can apply the Constitution to our pos
sessions and territories. In other words the Con
stituton does not follow the flag in the sense dem
ocrats have tried to make it appear, but congress
has the plenary power to govern our insular acqui
sitions according to their needs and the presiden
may do SO, if empowered by congress.
The real meaning of the decision is that tn,
Constitution does not prohibit expansion and tn,
acquisition of territory by military occupation

The course of the Bell Telephone Company in
disregarding the wishes of any and every one in
the matter of placing its poles is not at all com
mendable for concern whose existence depends
upon public patronage. The company is arrang-
ing to place poles in front of the Traders bank
door, the court house and Judge Gotf's new hotel,
instead of placing them at points where poles al
ready stand. 1t appears to US that the Bell people
should have some regard for the rights of others
and not show such az arbitrary spirit. We are
informed all other companies which have poles on
our streets observe great care in placing their
poles and are supposed not to inconvenience any
one or damage any ones property, if they can pos
sibly avoid it. Why should not the Bell people do
likewise? Of course the poles are necessity, blu
this paper respectfully asks that company and otht
ers not to infringe the rights of Others and to
exercise disposition not to Inconvenience others,

The spirit of the first year of the twentieth
century is to settle all differences between capital
and labor by meditation and arbitration. The plan
has already been found eficacious in one or two
instances this year, and the suspension of extern.
sive industries by strikes have been avered Since
the plan in these cases has demonstrated its all
sutticiency, the leading representatives of both
sides have taken the the matter up and are seri-
ously advocating it as the only proper way to adj.
just differences between capital and labor, Cap
talist and laborer alike have awakened to the fact
that the interests Of one is interviewer with shose
Of the other, and neither 50 arbitrary as hereto
fore in demands a sense Of justice has entered the
Oosoms OF both classes The existence Of such a
disposition means far less friction in the fptura
and will ultimately develop into that close relation
between capital and labor in which the welfare Of
the one will be sacredly regarded the good Of the
other. Both sides should make such relation their
aim and work zealously to that end.
