RAILROADS FIGHTING THE CANAL
Winston Sentinel

Senator Morgan of Alabama, is unfal-
teringly true to the Nicaragua route. But
why worry about the big ditch? Neither
Senator Morgan nor men younger than he
will live to see the canal cut either across
Nicaragua or Panama. The trans-conti-
mental railway companies have money to
spend and are putting it where 1t does
them good.

Ashehoro Courier.
Although born among Southern people,
he seldom, if ever comes among the South
ern people. His environments at least
have taught him to train with another
section, and if he has kind spot in his
heart for his former home and the tradi-
tons of his people we have never heard
of his expressing it.

No good deed. no genuine sacrifice Is
ever wasted. If there be good in it, God
will use it for His own holy purposes,
and whatever of ignorance or weakness
or mistake was mingled with it will drop
away as the withered sepals drop away
when the full flower was blown.

FIT RUNNING MATE.
winston Sentinel.

Our Governor Aycock is the only one
mentioned in connection with the vice
presidency on the Democratic side of the
fight. He would make fitting running
mate for anyone of the numerous gentle
men named for the presidential nomna-
ton, and he would do his full part as a
campalgner.

The report comes from Washington that
the President is consulting Judge Gray
about Federal judicial appointments in
Delaware. He would do well to be deaf
to Ball, Addieks and all the other Re
publicans in Delaware and take Judge
Cirays advice in all appointments.

EXEMPTED FROM TAXATION

H. II. DarneilIe. the Assessor. has
submitted TO the District Commissioners
an unfavorable report on the application
of the president of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union for the exemption
OF property occupied by that body from
taxation MIR. DarneilIe says that the
union acquired the property in question
in 1901. Investigation shows, he says,
that portions Of the house are used as
lodging, and other portions are used as
offices Of the body. and one room is de-
voted to q night school for boys.
Mr.. DaTneilIe admits that the union
dispenses much genuine charity. but be-
cause the premises are neither an eduCa
tional nor charitable institution with
in the meaning Of the law, he cannot
recommend that the property be exempt
ed from taxation.

Nevin and Parker Each File
Minority Report.
AUTHORITY FOR RAILROADS
Representative Nevin Opposes Provision
on Ground That Too Much Power
IS Given Concerns

Representative Nevin rep, Ohio and
Representative Parker tRep., y, j.,
members of the House Judiciary Com
mittee. yesterday filed separate minority
reports upon the Littlefeld antitrust"
bill recently agreed to as a substitute
for the original publicity bill.
Both voted to favorabIy report the
measure but reserved the right to file
exceptions as did the Democrats Their
views do not coincide with those Of the
four Democrats who submitted a min
oriy report proposing various amend
ments to the bill.
Mr.. Nevin objects to section Of
the LittIefieId substitute, which holds
railroads responsible for accepting for
transportation articles made or sold in
violation Of this proposed act or of the
Sherman antitrust law. He contends
that this provision places upon the com
mon carrier, the receiver or transpor-
tation company. the necessity of de
terminiug in advance OF any authori-
tative finding or adjudication what is
produced, manufactured, or sold in VIC
Iation of the law; and, secondly, that it
places in the hands of the common car
rier, receiver, or transportation com
pany the power, under color of law, TO
refuse to accept for transportation
property in its judgment produced, manu-
featured, OF sold in violation Of the act.
Mr.. Parker makes a general criti-
cism Of various provisions Of the
measure, especially directing to the re
bate provision, and also commenting
adversely upon other sections 40
amendments in the nature OF additions
to the bill are suggested by either
member, but they advise notifications.
