FORFEITURE SUIT
UP NEXT WEEK
RIGHT OF COLUMBIA AND MT
PLEASANT TURNPIKE TO
CERTAIN TOLLS.

A case of general interest to the
people living along the Columbia and
Mt. Pleasant Turnpike is set for hear
ing In Chancery Court next Thursday
and this is the suit of ]. w. May berry
ct al VS.. the Columbia & Mt. Pleasant
Turnpike Co.
When the suit seeking to forfeit the
charter of the Columbia G. Mt. Pleas
ant Turnpike was pending, Mr.. May
berry and twenty-eight other citizens
living along the pike enjoined the
turnpike company from collecting toll
from these REALTORS while the forfeiture
suit was pending. The tolls we're
therefore charged against the twenty
eight citizens for possibly two years
and amounted IN the aggregate about
81, 500 by the time the forfeiture suit
was decided and the turnpike com
pany was deprived OF its charter. The
suit next Thursday Is to decide wheth-
or or not those accumulated tolls will
have to be paid.

1YvlLLE MEETING.

The Nashville American crowd
pulled off their Southern" Democrat
ic convention down at Shelbyville,
Tenn, last Thursday. The regula-
ton, If somewhat sterotyped, resolu-
tions were adopted and the American
is calling for state convention to be
held in Nashville on November 12.
1t is presumed that every good friend
of the American and the railroad in
terests of the state will be on hand.
We venture the prediction that among
those. present will be the three rail-
road attorneys whom Gov. Patterson
appointed to the three important ju-
dicial positions very recently.
The reactionaries and the inter
ests" are attacking Bryan from every
cover, from behind every rock and

AN ADMIRABLE MESSAGE.
Preservation of the Public Domain
| for the People.
Springfield (Mass) Republican.


Springfield (Mass) Republican.
President Roosevelts message on the
natural resources Of the country still left
in the public domain is one of the soundest
and most admirable he has ever written. II
is a plea for the conservation of the re-
naming mineral deposits for the public
good rather than for cooperate dividends
under private monopolistic exploitation. He
presents unassailable doctrine, however
socialistic some may regard it, in saying
that mineral fuels, like the forests and
navigable streams, should be treated as
public utilities"
To treat coal and iron lands as public
utilities would mean that they should never
pass under private ownership, and II such
a policy had been inaugurated In this coun-
try sixty years earlier, there would be to-
day far less agitation over the dangers of
concentrated wealth and the power of gigan-
tic corporations. 1t is one OF the most exas-
perating themes, In retrospect, upon which
ones mind can dwell, to consider the man
ner in which the vast mineral treasures of
the earth within our national borders have
been allowed TO slip from the ownership
OF the whole people into that Of a few in
dividuals, without the slightest compensa-
ton worthy OF the name.
The idea that when a man takes up a
section of wild public land he becomes the
possessor OF all the possible mineral wealth
underneath the surface soil has never had
an iota of reason or equity in II. Yet on
this wanton principle OF disposing OF the
national domain has the government pro-
ceeded generation after generation. al
ready" as the president says. "one-half of
the total area Of the hgh-grade coal lands
in the west has passed under private con
troll" The question now arises whether
what is left OF that priceless material her
itage shall also be turned over TO private
monopoly,
The lease system which the president
proposes has been sufficiently tried in other
countries to warrant it's careful consider
alton by our own. Whatever its defects
may be, II has the merit OF preserving the
ownership where ownership should always
be vested-in the whole people. or their
government The time has come when the
United States must adapt its policy, in
dealing with what remains OF the public
lands, to the public utility principle

THE BAILEY INVEsrTGATToN =, 9.

The Texas system of electing a
United States senator under grave
charges and investigating them after
ward is'not working out more salts
factorily for Senator Bailey himself
than for the people of the state. With
his election certificate in his pocket,
the Investigation goes on, and it has
not been permitted to- lapse Into a
mere form. Not only has he to face
the old evidences OF suspicious rela-
lions to Standard Oil aud other cor.
porations, which had proved So damas-
Ing. to. him as Q public character. but
many new and equally serious 'specifi-
cations are being produced, every one
of which requires explanation, apology
and disproof. -. B.. ...,.,s..4. 49,. ,-.-,--.-,
The cumulative effect, bears heavily
against Bailey because he does not
squarely meet the issue, now that the
investigation is on, any more than
when he and his friends STAYED it of
till after he was securely landed in his
seat in the senate. What he has done
! has been a series of sensational
threats of assault and battery against
witnesses who have, given incnpi-
mating testimony or against, lawyers
and persons bringing them forward.
On half dozen occasions within the
last two or three weeks Bailey. has
thus yelled "Liar!" and Attempted or
made pretense OF attempting personal
violence, without, however, meeting
.he zeal point, which 81 course is the
truth OF the charges against hipi =,
This melodrama has been over
strained, and the net result hal" been
to deepen the. unfavorable impression
that had been created before this Texas
lie sislaturc. met. The plea of partisan
and sectional animosity which Bailey
suggested when discriminating rumors
were first hI uited no longer serves.
The tide Of doubt ana condemnation
has steadily risen in his own state,
among his own former friends and
lartisans. .Hpllyine and SENSATIONAL
protestation without the backing of
facts are vain Ia stop 1T, AID IT Is
questioned whether he OonId now be
elected If the Investigation, had pre-
coded the action OF the legislature
Altogether, the case Is full of sig
nihcGpse OF the higher standard 'te-
avired in the public service and OF
the increasing CSactions Of public sen
timent, especially with reference to
corporation influence and connections,
and it is safe to soy in view of the
Bailey case that hereaft% IN case 81

The Bee has already spoken out sew
eral times on this subject. Referring
to the increasing demand ;oE reduced
passenger fare in Nebraska two weeks
ago, we said that the necessity for a
reduction is fully realized by the legis-
lature, the only open questions being
how far. and in what way" In the
same article we reviewed and ex-
planned the various yplans> proposed,
including a fat 2-eent rate. s2-cent
rate with power in the railroad com
mission to increase the same on a
showing where not compensatory, a
2 u cent rate with power in the com
mission torreduee on'a showing. where
more than compensatory, and still fur
Their a graduated rate according to
the average receipts per mile. We at
that time added.
Whatever plan should be finally adopted
for Nebraska. the legislature should not
make the mistake OF promulgating an in
flexible rate, without provjdinss some means
OF adjusting Il by reyieF or appeal to- the
peculiar Conditions that may exist on par
tlcular lines or roads. Unless this is done
the whole law will be in danger OF being
upset in the courts to which the railroads
will have no. hesitancy in appealing.
The position-of The Bee on This dues
ton has not changed. The Bee 10 not
in favor of a fiat 2-cent rate unless
coupled with provision permitting of
adjustment to varying conditions of
branch lines and small roads. because
without this provision the law would
be in too great danger of tudlcldl hHl-

establishing a 2-cent 1maxi1n0fn, slib-
ject to increase not to exceed 3 cents
