MUST MAKE THE SELMA CONNEC-
TION.

Elsewhere we print the full text of
the opinion of the Supreme Court, con-
Cured in by all the five justices, IN
the celebrated Selma Connection case,
in which it is properly held that the
railroads must continue the connection
at Selma which was maintained Tor
nearly twenty years prior to the
breaking of the connection last year. IL
occasioned great inconvenience TO the
neople of Eastern North Carolina, OPP
Grated injuriously toward Ralelgn'
and was an arbitrary defiance OF
inst and proper ruling Of the Corpor-
alton Commission.
The people of North Carolina Will
rejoice in this one evidence that the
people have some rights with refer
ence to transportation. The railroads
have so long seemed omnipotent that
most people have feared to hope that
the Commission could win it's conten-
ton, made and pressed for an impor-
tant and necessary connection.
The recent dividend of 25 per
cent by the Atlantic Coast Line and
the publication Of greatly Increased
earnings by the Southern show that
this order is no hardship. Neither
the travelling public and the Corpor-
alton Commission speaking for them
nor the Supreme Court would favor
or countenance any step that would
deny to railroads fair dividends upon
the money invested. The Selma con-
nected is Just to the travelling public
and not injurious to the railroads.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
no spirit of resistance to the decision
of the States highest court, but that
the railroads will promptly and cheer
fully yield obedience to the mandates
of the court, and restore the Selma
connection. There is no danger that
the Corporation Commission will ever
impose schedules that will be unjust
to any railroad. The people of North
Carolina would not approve such
policy and railroads have no reason
to fear the courts or the commits
sion.
The decision of the court includes
a final judgment ordering the re-es-
tablishment of the connection by the
tenth day of February. 1t is not I'M
usual for the Supreme Court to grant
such final decree when the public in
terests require 1T.
The opinion of the court ought to
be read by every man in North Caro-
lima. This case has been much mis-
understood by many because the rail-
road attorneys sought to try it upon
issues that were not germane The
Chief Justice has stripped the matter
of all extraneouS questions and dis
cussed it in a clear and sensible man
ner, so plainly that the ordinary citi-
zen can read it and understand it
as well as the ablest lawyer 1t is
enriched with such citations of au-
thority as will inform the average
citizen OF the power of the State to
regulate common carriers and is so
cogent and powerful as to entirely
cut the ground from under the con-
tention of those opposing the restora-
ton of the Selma connection.
Since Judge Connor wrote the de-
cision in the Superior Court and
Judge Clark wrote the affirming de-
cision in the Supreme Court, which
resulted in putting the Atlantic Coast
Line on the tax list no wiser or better
decision has been promulgated in
North Carolina.

Sunday Drunl>s Ought to Come High.
There IS some talk OF raising the

dissertation of the Sabbath it is no lit

church occasionally, and when they
are dressed for the occasion they do
not want to miss the sermon or soil
their clothes or ruffle their temper.

the police, and it is most probable
that in a very short time the mayor

to be liable to the state for penalties
