MAKING CONGRESS DO SOMETHING

THE President is bombarding Congress with
Il messages of various sorts. Perhaps the
members Of the highest Legislature do not like
the prodding, for proddng is what it IS The
short session of Congress heretofore has been
noted for doing practically nothing. Yet there
is no reason why the time should be frittercd
away or why the statesmen should draw pay Tor
two years when they do only one years labor
There are many subjects that need the attention
Of Congress.
The President is pointing out these matters to
both the House and Senate. Formerly the gen
tlemen of Congress were accustomed TO put
many of the recommendations of the Chief Mag
istrate on the shelf The Chief Magistrate didn't
object much and things went along in the same
old way.
Ii is different now. President Roosevelt will
use all the means at his command to compel
Congress to give due consideration to the ques-
tons raised in his message The unfortunate
thing about it for the congressman who are in
cined TO be INDECENT is that the people will sup
port the President The voters would like to see
their representatives up and doing. Therefore
they will back up the President in his efforts to
obtain from Congress rapid and full considera-
ton OF those matters which are for the welfare
of the country.

capitalist is going to get all that he can and the
laborer will try to secure as much as hercan out
of the product that is to be divided. We may
have plenty of fine spun theories telling of the
identical interests of capital and labor The two
are together in that they want the country to be
in such condition that the mills and the factories
can operate and create large product But
that is where the parallel ends. The fight begins
over the division. And the fight will continue
as long as our present system prevails. The
capitalists organize for the purpose Of paying as
little to their employees as they can. The labor
ers, therefore. are compelled to organize to get
all that they can The labor unions are opposed
by the capitalist classes because they know that
if they had to deal with the laborers Individually
they would stand chance of keeping down
wages and securing the men for less pay. This
is most elementary principle. and yet read
a lot of high flown stuff about the labor unions
destroying individual liberty" and the like All
such talk is made by the enemies of organized
labor The organization of laborers not only
benefits its members, but it helps even those
workugmen who are not members Of the unions.
Some employers. out Of shamefacedness, while
not recognizing unions, will pay near the union
scale. Does any one imagine they would pay
such wages unless the unions had forced the
rates? Sometimes it is we'll for worl1ngmen to
consider these questions, as they vitality concern
their welfare

IS 1T A vIcToRY9

THE Wilmington City Railway Company. by
u intcrposng the plea Of the statute OF limi-
tations. has escaped paying to the city some FIVE
hundred dollars expended in repairing the pave
ments between and adjoining its railway tracks
The company apparently regards the outcome Of
its recent suit as victory for itself, though
little consideration OF the matter viii show that
it was not such great victory after all. The
refusal OF the company to keep the pavements
in good repair or pay for the repairs after they
were made BY The city, shows a shameful lack OF
public spirit and disposition to shirk its respon-
sibilities BY compelling the city to bring suit
for the amount expended in repairing the pave
ments, the company has established the point
that the city cannot maintain such action after
the expiration Of three years but that is not say
ing that the company is under no obligation to
do the repairing itself II appears that certain
pavements needed repairing and that the COM
pany has refused TO make the repairs What is
the position OF the company, now that it has re-
fused to keep the pavemcnts in good repair'
II oftimes occurs that Legislature in grant
ina charter to a street railway or other corpo-
ration, makes the grant with conditions annexed
TO it, Where this has been done, it has been held
that the non-performanee by the company of the
stipulated conditions will subject the company to
forfeiture Of its rights.
The City Railways charter was granted by
the Legislature OF this State in 1904 and gave
the company the power to use and occupy so
much Of any street as may be necessary
-" Provided. "That the said company shall
be required to keep the pavements in good repair
within the rails Of their tracks, and for the dis
lance OF three feet on each side thereof -"
This was undoubtedly regarded by the Legisla-
ture a very important part of the charter, for
similar provision was incorporated into later
act, the act of 1891
Under its charter the company has the right to
use the streets provided it keep the pavements in
good repair as required by the statute. If the
company refuses to so keep up the repairs what
right has it to the streets at all: 1t may be
that the city is not so helpless in this controversy
as the company would have us believe. and APP
propriate proceedings directed against the char
ter OF the company might bring about perform
ance OF the duties imposed upon the company by
the act creating it.
In a case like this if the officials and legal de-
partment Of the city were not friendly and sub
servient to the corporations the taxpayer would
escape the imposition of the City Railway Com
pany and many of the deficiencies of its service
would be remedied. As it is. the peoples inter
ests will suffer and they will not get the benefit
of the relief the law provides for them.

PRESIDENT JusT1FIEs HIS ACTION.

"A FTER the Presidents message concerning
\ the discharge of the negro soldiers who we
concerned in the Brownsville, Texas, affair,
there can be no doubt that Mr. Roosevelt was
justified in taking the action that he did. Sen
ator Foraker, who is an enemy of the President
is trying to make trouble oyer this matter but
he is not likely to succeed
The Presidents opponents may endeavor to
harrass and cripple him, but all their actions in
this direction will prove a boomerang The
silliest criticism made OF the President in this
case was the charge of race prejudice. Those
who arc familiar with Mr.. Roosevelts conduct
and thoughts would hardly need denial Of such
an accusation The President OH many occa-
sions has demonstrated his friendship for the
negro race, but the dismissed soldiers to be
treated no differently from soldiers of the white
race. The way is open for negroes to enlist in
the army, and because this company was dis
honorably discharged it does not follow that
negroes are not eligible to Uncle Sans service
or are not wanted But they, as we'll others,
must abide by the rules and regulations of the
army and the laws OF the country or suffer the
penalties

icy Of THE JOURNAL toward organized labor
