The Governors 8 Salary.
Wilmington Messenger.


Among the many recommendation
in Governor Glenn's message which
we endorse is that of an increase of
the Governor salary 1t should be
raised to six thousand dollars. The
present salary is not large enough
to pay the incumbent's expenses.
The governor of great state like
this should not he required to be al
ways skimping and economizing in
order to make buckle and tongue
meet. Governor Glenn says he has
lived economically, still his expenses
have been fifteen hundred dollars
year in excess OF his salary That
means that man who has no private
income of fifteen hundred or two
thousand dollars is excluded from
the office OF governor of his state
a poor man is debarred from the
office. We're it not this bad, still the
salary is not in keeping with the
dignity of the office.
We suppose, OF course, every one
understands that Mr.. Glenn is not
asking for an increase of his salary.
The increase, if made, would go into
effect with the beginning OF the term
OF his successor.

Senator Simmons for Second Term
Charlotte Observer, 10th.

The Democratic caucus of the Leg
islature last night, as was expected
of it and as was right for it to have
done, nominated Hon. Furniford NJ.
Simmons for a second term in the
Senate OF the United States and he
will be reelected today. This will be
in conformity with the practically
unanimous will of the Democratic
party of the State. Mr.. Simmons
has borne himself splendidly in the
Senate, rejecting credit upon North
Carolina. Those who in time past
held of him the opinion that he was
merely a smart, shifty politician,
have had occasion to change their
minds. The State realizes now that
he is Il man of substantial ability, of
fine Judgment and of broad, states
man-like qualities. He has grown
greatly in the last six years, as near
ly all men grow after entering the
great body of which he has become Il
conspicuous member, and it is rea-
sonable expectation that the enlarge
ment of his powers and influence in
the six years coming will be steadily
progressive, since he will be only 53
years old on the Goth of the present
mOnth-an age at which all men
have not yet reached their mental
maturity and after which their wis
dom is enlarged and ripened by larg-
| er experience.

NO FORAKER MEETING
He Must Speak For Himself, Says
Senator Dick.


Washington. Nov. 12. - Senator
Charles Dick. of Ohio denied that be
was to be a party to a conference,
the object of which was to launch the
candidacy of Senator Foraker for
president.
ITS all a mistake said he. IL
know OF no such conference and GER
tainly am not a party to it. Senator
Foraker must speak for himself relat-
ing to his plans"
Senator Dick has learned that his
colleague is to arrive In Washington
at the end OF the week. He expressed
doubt whether any announcement
would come from Mr Foraker regard
ing the presidential nomination. Sen
ator Foraker is known to entertain
some pronounced views as to the pro-
priety OF any man proclalming him
self candidate for president.
'Tf any person expects me to an
nounce myself a candidate for presi-
dent" Senator Foraker has said,
commenting upon reports about him
self similar to those now in circula-
tion. "he will wait in vain. Could any
thing be more improper than for any
man to announce his own candidacy
for PRESIDENT
"The Office Is too big for that. I can
understand how the friends Of a public
man might take steps to present his
name or even organize in his behalf,
but for a man to announce himself a.
IL he were running for sheriff, seems
to me to be far from modest"
From this view. which Senator Fer
aker has so often repeated with en-
phasis close friends of his like Sen
ator Dick hardly expect any announce
ment from the senior senator.

court OF Philadelphia. declaring the
Dunsmore 2cent fare law unconstitu-
t.onal and condscatory. was argued
before the supreme court OF Pennsyl-
yan.a sitting in this city.
The outcome OF the argument Is OF
vital importance to the state and at
tracted many prominent members Of
the bar.
N. Hampton Todd, attorney general
Of Pennsylvania: J. Howard Gendell.
city solicitor Of Philadelphia. and An.
drew ". Crawford and Ernest LOwen-
rlund. assistant city solicitors Of
Pti!adolp ia. appeared for the com
monweai'h John G. Johnson and
Francis L. Gowen represented the
Pennsylvania railroad.
City Solicitor Gendell made the
principal argument for the state. He
defined the powers OF the legislature
and its authority regarding the incor-
poratlng and regulating the methods
Of corporations generally within the
state. Concerning the conhscatory
question one which the railroad com.
pany raised. he asserted II the com
panys receipts from all sources should
become so low, because Of a legisla'
tive act, that there was no return TO
an investor the act would be confsca-
tory. In rather a dramatic manner
Mr. Gendell said;
"Slnce the railroad has put into op-
Grafton the l000-mile mileage book.
good for the bearer. lts mileage has In
creased $4,000 900 miles over the cor
responding period Of the previous
year"
The case Of the railroad as summed
mp by Mr.. Johnson in the paper book
which was given 70 the court Is that
she railroad has the vested right To
fix rates. that 1t has done nothing to
make this right revocable by the legis'
lature; that the 2-cent rate bill Is not
a valid exercise OF any rights which
the legislature may possess; that its
enforcement will amount TO the con-
fscation OF property. and that the act
Is an attempt TO interfere with inter.
state commerce.
