LET US HAVE PEACE.

There is not a single argument in
favor of a For Saloons" election in
Raleigh except that a score of men
want to reopen saloons here to make
themselves rich. The long agitation
shows that there are only about one
third of the citizens who favor saloons.
1t is believed that one-third favor pro-
hibition while about one-third prefer
the dispensary to saloons and doubt
whether prohibition would be enforced
under present conditions The saloons
cannot hone, if they can get an cleo
ton to fairly win victory at the polls,
and they have not a shadow of chance
of winning except by getting negroes
registered and debauching a number
of voters to their own undoing.
The best sentiment in Raleigh is
that, no matter how men may differ
as to the best plan, the interests of
Raleigh will be best promoted by hav-
ing no exciting election at present. An
election would arouse bitter feeling,
would be troublesome, and would do
no SOOQ. Inc IldJoIlty OI the people
of Raleigh will not permit the return
of saloons. Why sign a petition for
an election just to please those who
wish to reopen saloons? The bus

Leader Williams made mistake in
objecting when Representative Lamar
wished to state his grievance to the
House. 1t may be that Mr.. Lamar had
no real grievance and certainly it is
not pleasant to hear of divisions and
dissensions among the Democratic
minority But if differences do exist,
the day has passed when a leader can
suppress allusion to them. 1t is bet
ter to LET the matter be aired before
the public without objection and an
swered than try to put the lid on"
The people can safely be trusted to
take the right view when they hear
both sides, and in this instance the Il
object" of Mr.. Williams only added
notoriety to the difference which he
thought ought to be settled in DEM
ocratic caucus and not on the floor of
the House. He is, perhaps, right in
in trying to deny Mr.. Lamar a hearing
when the Florida member was deter
mined to speak. Turn on the light"
and the public will usually decide who
is right. The man who airs a griev-
ance unless It be a real one in which
the public is concerned, must prove
his case or the public will say I'VE

CITY SHOULD OWN WATER

There is no single good reason why
the people of Raleigh should be taxed
as heavily as they are for water or
why the city should not itself own the
water system. Hundreds of business
men and others in Wilmington, en-
bracing the leading men in the city,
have signed a petition in favor of city
ownership of water. The feeling in
Raleigh for city ownership is equally
strong. The following towns and cities
in North Carolina own their systems
of water works: Greensboro, Ashevilie
Charlotte, New Bern, Fayetteville,
Reidsville, Goldsboro, High Point,
Hickory, Gastonia, Statesville, Tarboro,

We published on Monday the action
Of the Democratic caucus of the House
of Representatives. 1t is pleasant to
note that Mr. john Sharp Williams.
the Democratic leader, who so intem-
perately abused Mr.. Bryan in the st.
Louis convention, has come around
to Mr. Bryan's views on the leading
issue of the day, the doctrine of rail-
way rate regulation. The concrete
point at present is to seek the means
of effectuating this doctrine If Mr.
Roosevelt shall present such a plan,
there is not only no reason why Dem
ocrats should oppose him because he
is the head of the opposite party, but
every reason consistent with common
sense why they should unite with
him. We understand that Mr. Will
liams accepts this tactical proposition
as sound, and, in this also. he shows
that he is learning the wisdom of fol-
lowing in Mr.. Bryan's footsteps. If he
is sincere, and we do not doubt that
he is, he will also use his reformed
Judgment to discriminate between a
genuine rate regulation bill, carrying
out the Democratic doctrine. and the
many Spurious ones that will no doubt
be introduced by secret enemies of
such a measure.

The temptation to charge as much
corporations. There are too few men
who will be satisfied with fair COM
pensation if it is in their power to
demand extortionate pay. There is a
daily illustration of this in the freight
charges of railroads, the Interstate
rate having been increased nearly one
hundred per cent. on some classes of
freight during the past year. While
there has been no increase in Inter
State rates in North Carolina the North
Cardinals Corporation Commission
alone has stood between the people
and higher freight rates in the South.
But railroads are not the only offend
ers. Some others do likewise when
they have a chance, and the Monroe
Journal says:
'It is said that in making their
freight rates the railroads always
charge as much as the traffic will
stand without being killed. The dem
tist of New York who charged Prince
Louis q thousand dollars for tinker

ing, has learned the trick. The st.
Louis doctor who charged $4,000 for
attending a young woman million

something of the idea of sucking the
lemon dry while there was chance y
The difference between the doctor
and dentist and the railroad is this:

tor and dentist can be contested in the
courts and the finding of jury is
conclusive evidence as to the sum
that must be paid. With reference
to railroads in Interstate traffic
(Which includes most freighD there
is no law to compel a reasonable
charge The railroad officials may
put up the rate fifty per cent. and
it must be paid. 1t is because ex-
tortion has been practised all out Of

tation that the people all over the
country have made so earnest de-
mand for a law that will prevent ex
tortion that the chief question now

of railroad rates. If the
Commission should fix rate below a
sum that would leave fair profit on
the capital invested, the railroads
would have an appeal to the courts
There is not the remotest danger of
any such thing, as experience with
State Rail Road Commissions has
shown. The danger is rather that the
Commission will err in permitting a
rate that is too high. But the power
to fix a rate will enable shippers to
demand redress and to have a place
they can go for a remedy. There
should be no possible objection to this
except from the men who get rich by
floating watered stock, who draw
fancy salaries, who get rebates, or
travel on passes, or who are more
interested in letting the railroads
earn big dividends on water than in
doing justice to manufacturers, ship
perS and consumers.
