Immediately after adjournment
President Stolypin summoned an
extraordinary session of the cab

matters TO an issue between the

...elc FOR ten Gays. During the time
between the adoption Of the di-
Lance and last night, Councilman
Mason was brought to see his err
ror in supporting the measure dur
ing the time it was being first con-
sidered by council and he had
the courage to break loose, retrace
his steps and get upon the right
side OF the proposition. 1t takes
more courage to recede from a posi-
ton once taken than to continue in
the cause which is found to be
erroneous.
In some circles, today, Mr..
Mason is donbtlessly one of the
most talked of and most abused
men in the city, but he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he
did the right thing in reversing his
position and preventing a move
which is conceded to be at this time
|iniudicious.
THERE'S. however, one thing to
be regretted in the death of the
ordinance. The residents of South
Prospect street between Hill and
Walnut streets will be compelled to
start all over again in order TO
secure q pavement on that part of
the street. No objection was raised
by Mr.. Setter, Mr.. Carpenter or
the Mirror to the paving Of that
part Of the street. Mayor Scherff
stated that he would only too
gladly sign an ordinance TO pave
that portion. The paving from
Hill to Walnut streets did not en-
ter into the controversy. "A street
paving on this section of the
street is badly needed. Residents
should at once circulate petition
and seeaide the Improvement.
The Mirror feels justly proud OF
this victory and we feel that this
feeling of pride is pardonable.
With the assistance, first of Mr..
Setter. later of Mr.. Carpenter
still later of Mayor Scherff and
finally of Mr.. Mason the Mirror
took up ine fight and prosecuted ii
until ihe victory was finally won
1t has demonstrated that o fight
so long AS it is just, is worthy and
the outcome shows plainly that
when in the right it is worth
while.

What Others Say.
SHOCKING LANGUAGE ON OUR
STREETS.

No doubt the subject has been dealt
with before, but the abuse has not
grown less. This town is and has
been people by those who are re-
fined in their lives and tastes, who
have shown a desire that they and
the town should compare favorably
with other downs of this wonderful
State of Pennsylvania, morally, so
,cially and commercially. Churches
have been built, old ones enlarged,
business affairs have advanced sur
lprisingly. The cause of temperance
has received the utmost efforts, but
the subject of blasphemous and OBJ
scene language seems to have received
but little attention. 1t has been
stated that the large foreign element
| is to be blamed. That Is not only
untrue but unjust. know that
men born and brought up here are
just as much at fault as the foreign
portion of our population. Blasphem-
GUS, vulgar and obscene language
on the streets, especially at night,
| is widespread, nor is it confined to
adults. Young men, even children,
and what Is infinitely worse, women
walking along the streets. 1t is
shocking TO hear the scraps of con-
versation held on the street corners.
What is the cause? 1t is hard to say.

FIGHT IN A JUST
CAUSE IS WARRANTED. {.

After q somewhat strenuous
career, during the while 1t has
been in the limelight Of public gaze,
the South Prospect street paving
ordinance was given a solar plexus
blow by the city council last even
ing. Mr.. Mason determined that
an unnecessary and unwarranted
expenditure Of money was about
to be made and he joined hands
with Mr.. Setter and Mr.. Carpen-
ter in dealing the death blow.
1t will be remembered that Coun-
Gilman Setter was the first one to
oppose the Improvement and that
Councilman Carpenter soon fell in
to line and voted with Setter in op-
posing the adoption of the ordin-
ance. In the beginning the Mirror
took up the fight and kept it up
SO vigorously that the people of
the city were attracted and many
were the expressions Of commenda-
tion which were expressed. For
sometime the fight appeared to be
a hopeless one, but believing that
a fight should not be abandoned so
long as the cause is Just, whether
or not there be hope Of victory, we
pursued the course of opposing
the paving south OF Walnut streer,
because it seemed to be q needless
expenditure OF money, because the
resident property owners opposed
so many improvements at once, and
because the paving was not really
necessary. Mayor Scherff became

THE CONSTITUTION.

One of the reasons why the United
States constitution has, with a few
extensions, met all the demands of
an expansion which nobody could
have foreseen at the time 1t was
framed, and also met the demands
of foreign and civil war, is that Its
trainers dealt with broad general
principles only.
They did not attempt to legislate
for particular situations. That work
was left for congress. The men who
were assembled in that little Phila-
delphia conclave of 1887 were wise
enough to foresee that many things
could happen between that time and
1887 or 1907 which were not dream
ed of in their philosophy. These
things they prudently relegated tc
the people who should be confronted
with them.
In laying down broad general prin
ciples they let congress have the op
portunity to apply them to the issue
as they arose. For that reason tn
constitution framed a century an'
fifth ago, with less than half dozel
extensions and notifications, ha
stood all the strain which has beel
placed upon it.-Globe-Democrat.

SCARED AT SEVEN PER CENT.

Mr., Hartman says it is impossible
to build roads in central oregon on
borrowed money costing I per cent.
When Mr., Harriman's roads in Or
egon are storing up profits at the
rate of from 20 to 40 per cent on the
investment, measly Z per cent should
not scare the magnate. He should
be willing to divide.
A part of the diplomacy and art of
the magnate is in creating plausible
excuses by which to relieve himself
of his just and apparent responsible
ties. His baking at per cent money
is perhaps a sharp bit of irony on the
Roosevelt administration which has
unduly "agitated" the Wall street sit
uation.
Mr.. Harriman's roads in oregon
have accumulated profits enough to
build the central oregon line from
one border of the state to the other
Seven per cent is but figure OF
speech, designed to delay railroad
building. 1t will suffice, IL Mr.. Har-
riman does not see fit to conjure Ut
| some other excuse.
