Rev. Or. Wrlght's Appeal to the Rca'
son OF the Temperance Vot-


ers Of Ohio.
AS one of the founders Of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon league, and still an active
supporter of its work in the main,
feel impelled to protest against the
attitude its principal leaders are now
taking with reference to the re-elec.
ton of Governor Herrick. 1t seems
to me that 1t requires but little re.
Election on the facts to show that such
opposition Is both impolitic and un.
Just; so much SO, indeed, that it has
been to me from the beginning a
mystery without any apparent ade.
Quate cause.
The plain fact is that the Brannocli
law, which was favored and signed by
the governor, is good temperance
law, and distinct advance on any.
thing we previously had. This is &C.
knoweldged by the leaders of the
Anti-Saloon league as we'll as by all
others who are laboring to limit the
evils resulting from the use OF alco-
holic beverages The design of the
law was to give an opportunity for
the residential districts in all our
larger cities to free themselves from
saloons, and thus remove temptation
from the homes This end the bill, ac-
cording to the admission OF all, ac.
complishes in a fair degree. Inas.
much as the governor urged the adop-
tion Of this bill in its present form,
and signed 1t, can see no reason why
he should not receive credit for SO
much of good temperance legislation.
To tho cry that the governor should
keep hands off" from temperance
legislation, and agree to sign any bill
which tho legislature will pass, we
reply that after hundred years ex-
periencO In Withholding the veto pow
or from tho governor, and thus com
pelling him to keep hands off from
all legislation. It is the most deliberate
conclusion Of the citizens of Ohio,
shown in the adoption OF constitu.
tional amendment, that the governor
should share in the responsibility of
making the laws, so that hereafter
no law can become effective until It is
positively approved by the governor or
psssed over his veto by two.thirds
vote. With such responsibilities
thrown upon him, 1t would be nothing
short of Standardization and posi-
tive insult to the people for a COVER.
nor to say beforehand that he will
sign everything that the legislature
will pass on any subject.

tails OF the question (which am

The strange inconsistency con
tanned in the ruling under which
Secretary Of War Taft acted
in granting the license to the Daven-
port & Suburban Railway to cross the
Rock Island bridges. after admitting
that he practically had no authority to
so act, but expected 10 precipitate a
court ruling on the validity of the
course. as outlined in the special
Washington dispatch appearing last
evening in the Argus has proven i
subject of comment among business
men and citizens generally. II natur-
ally seems peculiar that any high repre-
sentative of the federal government,
should admit oyerreaching his
official authority for the acknowledged
purpose Of inviting legal complications
and incidental adjudication Of ques-
tions involving the scope of his ow1
duties. For. according TO the report
from Washington he exceeds the au
thority OF his Office. and invites inter
ested corporations to take the matter
into the courts and determine whether
he was right in saying he had no au-
thority to act. or in acting as he had
no right TO act.
The position OF the people of Rock
Island, regarding the granting of fur
ther rights across the Rock Island
bridges and arsenal to another street
railway corporation. is too well known
to require extended reference here.
Rock Island stands in fear of no added
means of communication with DaveH-|
s..
of Davenport This city feels. how
ever. that it should have the privilege
OF passing upol any corporation seek
ing 10 enter or use any portion Of the
city before the government should act
so far as its jurisdiction is concerned.
As a matter of fact this was the stand
the secretary Of war originally took n
the premises. advising the promoters
OF the Davenport enterprise that they
should secure the rights they desired
in Rock Island as had been done mi
Davenport. before expecting the gov
ernment to grant the license across
the bridges. The promoters of the
Davenport & Suburban. did not com
ply with this requirement. they /
sought the cooperation Of Rock Isl |
and's business and representative or
ganiZations, which declined TO in !
dorse the project in the alb |
scnce of more tangible evidence than
was offered as 10 the enterprise being |
a strictly bonaide interurban project
The promoters did not honor the couu-
ell with an application for a franchise
at the hands of that body for the use
OF any OF the streets of the city. But
they seem. nevertheless to have
brought sufficient pressure to bear at
Washington to reverse the former po
sitiun of the war department and for
mer precedents- as well.
Now we are told that Secretary OF
War Taft has supplemented his ruling
by notice to the Tri-City Railway com
pany. and the Davenport &
Suburban company that he will give
them 80 days in which to arrange the
details for the joint use of the Rock
Island bridge across the Mississippi at
If the details are not
agreed on by that date. the secretary
of war will act in the capacity. 1t
is understood. furthermore. that the ar
Rock Island Argus., 1905-04-28
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED
OVER STREET RAILWAY

ranging Of details is contingent on the
securing of franchise in Rock Island
which would bring the question back
| TO its original premises.
| There is no disposition in Rock Isl
and so far as known TO -avor the mo-
nopoly of street railway rights on the
Rock Island bridge. but the people
here feel, quite naturally. that they
should be accorded the same right
that they were when the old Daven-
port & Rock Island-nOw the Tri-City,
applied for franchises over the island
and bridges-of saying first whether
they deemed the corporation worthy
Of privileges in Rock Island
The public attitude here mas been
made very plain. There is no opposi-
ticn to further railways. In fact pub
lie sentiment Is practically unanimous
for anything Of bOnafide re-
liable interurban nature. But
there is pronounced opposition
10 according any corporation the right
TO cut across town ia order 10 reach
the territory tributary TO Rock Island
and bring its trade resources nearer
TO another state without respecting the
local conditions.
II the Davenport 6 Suburban either
in its own name or under some of its
other titles can show to the satisfac-
tiOn OF the people OF Rock Island that
it is bonafide in its interurban char
acter and can prove by its reputation
standing and otherwise that it is cap
able of making good in what il starts
out TO do. and is seeking TO bring into
Rock Island a road that will open up
the much sought avenues of trade and
transit with the country round about, il
should. and doubtless will. he given all
the encouragement possible. But Rock
Island may be pardoned If it desires to
know for it's own part what is desired
in this city. So far the work has been
entirely from the Davenport end. and
for and in behalf of a railway that is
purely local in its character at that.
