eral rule. these rates may not be
changed without the commissions con-
sent
When the Southern Bell Telephone
Company announced that It's night
rates for long distance messages would
be doubled The Times-Dspatch called
the attention of the clerk of tho Cor
poratlon Commission to the change
and asked If the company had made
application to put the higher rate into
effect. He replied in the negative. and
said the commission had Ind no no.
tce Of the change, which went into
effect on September 1st
Clerk Wilson then communicated
with the general manager of the com.
pany in this city, and notified him that
the old rate must be restored, and that
If the company wished to make any
change 1t would have to file It's pro-
posed new schedule with the commits
tion for permission to make the
change. and the manager readily COM
piled.
1t is but fair to Manager Crews to
say that he merely obeyed general
order from headquarters. and did not
know that 1t was in conflict with the
law of Virginia. But he knows 1t now.
The Corporation Commission stands be-
tween the general public and the pub
lie service corporations of the State.
Such corporations are not permitted
arbitrarily to increase their rates in
Virginia and make their patrons pay 1t
whether or not. The public cannot but
suspect that the Southern Bell Tele-
phone Company took advantage of the
telegraph strike to double its night
rates, and If there had been no Cor
poration Commission they would hnvel
been compelled to submit AS 1t is, the
company, through its agents, must APP
pear before the commission and show
cause why the night rates should be
doubled II 1t can do so to the salts
faction of the commission, the proposed
change will be allowed; but not other
wise. 1t should be understood, how
ever that the rates made and enforced
by the Corporation Commission apply
only to messages between points with
in the State of Virginia

FOR sTArE HOARD or CHARITIES

Among the subjects that Will be dis
cussed at the meeting Of the State
Conference OF Charities and Correction
at the jamestown Exposition the latter
part of October is "a State Board OF
Charities-Its Needs, Organization and
Functions" Mr.. r. r. Byrd, of Win
chester. has been invited to deliver an
address on the subject, and he Will
doubtless accept as he has already an
nounced that he will introduce bill,
when the General Assembly meets, to
establish a State Board of Charities.
1t is subject that is very dear to
The Times-Dispatch, and we hope that
the movement now begun so suspicious
ly will have a successful issue.

THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY.

In reply to some questions of ours
concerning the proposed movement to
put the Southern Democracy in the
Il manner so frank and patriotic as to
disarm and defy criticism. The Times
Dispatch is SO thoroughly in accord
with the spirit and matter of our con-
temporary's article, reproduced else
where, that 1t regards the minor diff
ference as to method as too trihing
to be further considered. Our only OBJ
lection TO the criticisms of the News
Is that ii characteriZes our proposal
aH sectional movement. We replied
that our proposal was no more sec
tional than that of the News. In point
of fact. neither is sectional in any oh,
jectionable sense.
The News protests against n dis
elimination against the statesmanship
of the South in tho councils OF the
nation or any political organization"
The Times-Dispatch said:
THE Times Dispatch is welded to no
candidate in the South or in the North.
nominated, provided he be a true Dem
ocrat. But 1t repudiates the humiliat-
ing plea that the South cannot enter
the race in 1908, because She has no
available man. We are weary of such
cringing and such ESTABLISHMENT"
And again:
at is sectionalism of the rankest sort
which insists that the candidate must
not come out of the South. The South
has submitted patiently to that sort of
discrimination. submitted longer than
she should have done, and her turn
has now come"
Our Lynchburg contemporary elabo-
rates and emphasizes that principle in
its admirable. article. The South is
not disposed to discriminate against
any other section, but she should insist
and we believe she will Insist, that no
other section shall discriminate against
her, and that the party convention
shall not reject any one of her distin-
guished sons simply because he was
horn and reared below Mason and Dix
ons line. In taking such a stand she
will be opposing and fighting section
alism, not promoting 1t. ."
We also agree with our friend that
the South should start no movement
against William j. Bryan, or any North
ern man, per SO. Let the South declare
the doctrine of Democracy as 1t wa!
delivered by the fathers. Let 1t max,
clear-cut pronouncement against al
phases of Populism, centralized Repub
llcanism. Federal encroachment. and al
other false doctrines, that have sprea,
like an infection over the land. and de
mand an administration of national az
fairs in strict conformity with Demo
cratic principles and constitutions
rights; then demand that Democra
to fit the platform shall be nominated
Let it also demand that If such
Democrat can be found in her ow
territory there shall be no discrimina
ton against him because OF his plac
of residence.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY.

The resolutions aekingsthe council to
submit the Carnegie library gilt to vote
has clarified the atm osphere surround.
ing this vexed question by forcing the
opposition to declare their soe reason t.
b, opposition to accepting Carnegie's
money. This pu,s the matter up to tht
people upon clear cut point. Hereto
fore 1t has been the custom OF Boss CLARK
TO give reasons as various as The mind
to which he was talking. To one coun-
Gilman he would urge the possible ex.
pence; TO another all sorts Of alleged
strings Carnegie would have around the
neck OF Aberdeen, and 60 on. When tht
question is ;immered down to the pre-
pr,ety Of accepting this money, not NOR.
than two countiImen will oppose it.
While the bose is denouncing Carnegie
money, it is pertinent to inquire when
the iniquity Of the Laird OF Skiboo't
money fret occurred to him? To ask u
the discovery was not simultaneous with
the date Ct quarrel with William Irvine
former secretary OF the library hoard :
The perinence Of those queries will be
seen when, according to Mr.. Clark's own
statements, he had favored Carnegie
library in south Dakota. just before com
ing to Aberdeen. and laeteninghis tenta.
c!es into the body OF organized labor.
The position Of the boss toward Mr.
Carnegie becomes untenable from labor
point OF view when it is known that on
the night CLARK was hypno,izng the
executive committee Of the cham Der oil
commerce in Aberdeen, Samuel Gompers
the head Of unionism in the United
States, was hobnobbing on the same
stage with Carnegie, in New York, at n
meeting of the Civic Federation, where
both those distinguished gentlemen
spoke from the came platform. The boss
must hold a queer estimate Of the inteli.
gence Of the union men when he tells
them that it is wrong to accept-for the
benefit of their children-money from
man deemed good enough for intimate
association by-Samuel Gompers.
If the city councils vertebrs: is too
weak to stand upon their own judgment
and decide this matter, it is likely that a
special election can be managed, although
the city has no power to call one-the
doctrine OF referendum not yet being on

VIEWED ABROAD.

Next April the people OF Aberdeen will
vote on the QUESTION OF accepting SIS 900
offered by Al drew Carnegie for library.
The city council probably though: the
question bit too delicate to ne decided
in that body. long controversy has
been going on IN Aberdeen because Ger.
tain interests opposed acceptance Of the
gift. Acceptance does not necessarily
carry with It approval Of what Andrew
Carnegie has said and done. II the Car.
negie libraries were made centere Of ir.
struction contrary 10 the interests OF
labor, different question would be PIE.
sented. They a,e managed as are other
libraries. No condition attaches TO the
gift that books shall be favorable to
capital or to labor, or favorable or W..
favorable to any religious sect. The
libraries encourage the widest research
and the fullest discussion OF all ques.
tions. II Aberdeen prefers to erect
library building wholly with the city's
funds, that 10 the affair OF Aberdeen.
II the city wishes to accept help from
the outside, there appears no sound rea
