GIVES DoWD THE CREDIT.


Referring to the amicable adj
juStment of the rate controversy
by the General Assembly last
Saturday, the Asheville Citizen,
with the evident purpose of Civ
ing credit to whom credit
is due, has the following
to say of Representative
Dowd, of Mecklenburg, who, by
the way, was onerOf the most
able and influential members of
either house:
"The people of the State general are
under q lasting obligation to Represent
alive w. c. Dowd, of Mecklenburg
county, whose shrewd parliamentary
tactics put a sudden stop to the flibust-
reing and needless dickering in the
lower branch of the North Carolina
Legislature Friday night. AS the dis
PEACHES state, it wal possible that the
members would have gone on talking
for q couple of weeks longer, if rome
body with executive ability had not APP
peared on deck at the eleventh hour.
"While Mr.. Dowd is to be cOngratu-
lated, the Legislature itself should be
pleased with the fact that it has at least
put a quIetus to a most vexatious sub
ject, and the business element of the
State will have a look in now that the
primary cause Of disturbance has been
removed. The lesson of the rate law
has been a long and costly one, both for
the railroads and the State. but il expe-
rsence teaches anything, the railroads
now have q definite idea of where they
at, and they must feel that a law is a
law, and thatla sovereign State, and not
n Federal tribunal, is the first court OF
appeals"
1t is pleasing to note the kind
things that are being said
of Mr.. Dowd, who was not only
one of the leaders in the house
of representatives, but is one OF
the ablest and most successful
newspaper men in North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Dowd, also, h a d
charge of the prohibition bill in
the house and his friends were
9rati6ed to note in him marked
evidence of resourcefulness and
genuine leadership.

The recent legislature passed
a bill authorizing Governor
Glenn to spend $1,000 in prose-
cutting the suits TO compel the
railroads to end discrimination
on freight rates in North Carroll
ma. 1t is charged that Virginia
cities are favored with much
lower ratetes on certain classes
of goods than points in North
Carolina through which said ship
ments have to pass, thus impos-
ing an injustice upon the business
interests of this State. The
Corporation Commission has all
ready began asuit before the In
terstate Commerce Commission
int the hope of further prevent
ing such apparent favoritism and
the Governor will now cooper
ate in contesting the matter to a
final conclusion. OF course there
is no valid reason for charges on
long-distance shipments to Vir-
einia being less than shorter
hauIs to points in North Caro-
lima.

SOUND ADVICE

Anne Steese Richardson gives some
pertinent advice to girls looking for
employment, in the May Woman's
Home Companion "Tell the EN-
plyer." she says, what you think you
can do, not what you have done at
home or in school, not why you need
the position He wants to know
whether you can write lcgibly, spell
correctly, figure accurately and are
strong enough to serve him so many
hours a day, so many days week.
If this man has his own and his EN-
ployer's interests at heart he will re-
gard you as he does a bolt Of fine
silk on the shelves outside his office
This sounds almost brutal 1t sounds
as if you were no better than the dry
goods upon the shelf. Well, when
you get right down to facts, that en-
ployer is taking just as great chance
in hiring you, an unframed girl whom
he must train at his firms expense, as
he is buying bolt of silk that may
or may not find favor with firms Gust
omers. If you do the work, he is
glad to pay you the money you need.
If you cannot do the work, then per-
haps for second he feels sorry for
you, but he argues that charity or
ganization to which his firm contri-
butes should look after your case. A
store, factory or office is beehive Of
industry, not refuge for incompe-
tents in distress"

it is to the Astounding health and COM
fort Of humanity.
City, after city, is relegating its fire
alarm bells to oblivion; its port, and
plant, whistles to disuse and silence;
school and church boards OF the land
are breaking from the old, traditional
rule OF the bell, and though the
wrench is very severe, very shocking,
it is gradually being accepted if only,
as an overture to the good sense Of
the families that have trained them
selves to the hour, instead of to the
boonh and scream, of tthe cali.
1t is we'll to keep i'll touch with the
day we live in and let the dead past
bury its dead Tradition is but a
matter of ethics; there is always a
time to abandon and forget them;'
that time comes when something
better and safer may be substituted,
The substitution OF perfect method,
and silence, is one OF the blessings OF
modernity and is an infinite relief
from the coarse and blatant relics to
which we have adhered with such
senseless devotion.
Every bowling whistle and every
changing bell that is stilled, is trib
ute to the ailing, sick and weary, to
the nervous invalid, the delicate babe,
the very old, the worn wage-e Garner;
as we'll as to the practical wisdom OF
the day and people that have made it
possible.
1t is time Astoria was taking UP the
crusade and curbing some of the need
less noises that range and rage over
her hills and levels and along her
waterfront. If there is no law avail
able to check the abuses that are be-
coming intolerable. then it were well
to ordain some and press them at
those points, and upon those people,
where they will do the most good.
Time, and its spokesmen, the clock
and the watch, we have with us al
ways, (including the alarm-clock) and
there is no further use for the steam
begotten and hared-metal, reverberat.
ing outrages, to which we have sub
mitted with a patience as infinite as it
was unnecessary.

WIPE IT OUT.

There is one phase Of the municipal
melange of this city that may, most
happily, be dispensed with whenever
the people get around to the point OF
ridding themselves OF useless impedi-
ments, and methodizing and mimify-
ing their administrative program and
reducing it to business proposition,
and that is the Astoria Police Com
mission, than which there is no plain
er instance of the fifth wheel" in this
whole section.
1t was, primarily, political crea-
ton, no matter who is responsible for
its existance; it was devised and in
stituted as a means to an end and
that end has been wrought abundant
ly and to the utter discredit of the
community; it is block and barrier
and serves no practical purpose and
yields no advantage to the people;
it is leverage for the perpetration of
purely personal politics, and an asy-
lum for political indigents that cannot
be placed elsewhere; instead Of con-
tributing to the real police power and
the dignity Of that department, it is
a check to the actual force and cf-
fectivness of that arm Of the public
service, leaving the Chief and Patrol
men but mere fgure-heads and agents
of arbitrary and dictatorial authority;
it is in constant conflict with the pol
icies and power Of the Common
Council and dominates invariably;
in place Of aiding, coalescing, and as
sisting in the full and proper exem-
plifcation of the police function Of
the City Of Astoria, it has, almost in
fallibly, been found in array against
the best expression Of that element Of
government; and the only thing left
to do is to wipe it out Of existance
and put the police department in a
position where the Chief and his men
will be prepared to do their whole
duty as it is made manifest under the
laws, and not have to await the die
tum of an interested and interfering
agency.
What processes may be substituted
for the commission is a matter Of

POSTER MAIDS AT NEWARK
Aldermen Insist That Billboard Girls
Shall Have Normal Sense of Decency.

NEWARK, N. J. June 6. 1908
Poster maids in Newark must have
at least a normal sense Of modcsty
and decenty. And their companions
Of the billboards, the heroes who
slay the Villains" while the "hcroincs'
faint, must quit it,
This is the decree OF Common
Council, which has appointed a com
mittee of three aldermen to act as
censors OF the morals OF the posters
and billboards. Thus far the COM
mittcc's work has been limited to
passing upon theatre advertising, but
its scope will be extended to cover all
billboard advertising as well as that
displayed in saloon and other wind
ows.
Alderman Michael i. Mullen, chair
man OF the advertising committee,
said that his committee proposed to
act in conjunction with Councils po-
lice committee, and that there was no
question Of the right to censor all
public advertising with a view to bar
ring such as was objectable. In this
class he placed chorus girls clad in
raiment usually worn only in bath
room, and also such soul-thrillers as
Dick, the Hero" drawing a bloody
knife from the villanous villain in the
presence Of the weeping girl
with the cooperation Of the
police committee" said Alderman
Mullen, 1--WE will see that the will Of
our committee is carried into effect
We will make conditions more strict,
and it is proposed that all advertising
concerns shall submit to us all post
ers and advertisements before they
shall be displayed"
Endorsement Of the aldermanic
committees campaign, which is based
upon one of the methods suggested
by the American Civic Association in
its fight against billboards, was given
by the Newark Star in these words:
"There has been ample reason for
the organization Of this committee
and its work. Aside from their artis-
tic lack of merit, many Of the poster
on Newark's billboards have been OF
a character offensive to decency and
subvcrsive of good morals. Intelli-
gent judgement upon the part Of the
censors and energetic work will be a
blessing to the CITY,"
