The friendsof the -Foederer syndi-
cate in Philadelphia assured the people
that their motive in asking for fran
chise covering all the streets. on the
surface. above and below, was not a
selfish one. since they desired simply
to give the people better service. We
notice that in the contemplated deal
with the Union Traction Company their
little franchise is valued at something
like s5.OOO.OOO. which shows tIhe value
of unselfshness.

Our contemporaries with practically
one voice. have denounced the recent
Wholesale raid instituted by the Law
and order Society. We haven't rush
ed in to champion side, because sew
eral nice points of law, ethics and ex-
pediency are involved But when We
are told that no good. but only harm
has been done. we are inclined to be
skeptical; we are told that many
houses that were formerly the haunts
of vice, are closed and are displaying
signs of "for rent" Isn't that an evi-
dence OF good? One paper informs u
that since strenuous measures were
taken in New York and in Philadel-
phia to break up the dens there, the
inmates have come to Wilmington, anC
that this Is responsible for the in

crease. and If it becomes necessar.
for us to employ the same methods
should we hesitate? 1t is an admis

did not tell the governor, but thought
q deeper impression would be made on
the natives in the islands if Gov. Dole
came on here. Accordingly he was sent
for.

forward way, started the conversation
with the governor. when he and Mr..
Carter called at the White House.

him for governor of Hawaii. He ought
to be a man that would as far as pos
sible be acceptable to the different fac

President broke in.

you told me- replied Mr.. Carter.
