THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor GIenn'S message to
the special session of the Leg
islature on Tuesday is brief and
pointed. 1t contains only three
suggestions:
l. The acceptance of com.
promise in rate controversy up
on the terms outlined in the in
terview given out by him and
published along with his pro-
cIamation converting the Legs.
Iature in extraordinary session.
2. The enactment of some pro-
vision for the relief of the con-
sested condition of the Superior
Court dockets brought about by
the inability of judges to meet
appointments on account of sick
n e or other unavoidable
causes.
8. The enactment of a law
prohibiting the manufacture of
intoxicating liquors within the
borders of the State. He takes
an advanced position on the
question of State Prohibition and
argues well for the temperance
cause.
The Hustler heartily endorses
the two first suggestions and does
not object to the third, except
that it does not think this the
proper time to inject new mat
tiers into the deliberations of a
Legislative body called for aspe-
ci6c purpose. This newspaper
has a consistent record on the
temperance question, having
stood for prohibition in every
local option election upon the
whiskey question since its eStab-
liShment at Brevard in 1891. 1t
does not believe the question of
State prohibition should be con-
sidered at the present session,
but if such a bill is introduced
we are heartily in favor of pass
ing it before you could say Jack
Robertson" 1t should not fail
by any means in the event of
being proposed.

THE RADICAL WAY.

HoIton has discovered that
there is "a niger in the wood
pile" in the proposed compro-
mise. why" he asks, should
the railroads agree to compro-
mise so little, if any, better than
the rates as they are now fixed
by law?"
Whereupon Holton writes to
Judge Bynum to find out and
answers himself in his own let
ter without giving the Judge a
chance to reply by charging that
Governor Glenn and the rail-
roads came to an understanding
whereby, with the settlement of
the passenger rate controversy,
the action commenced by the
State to correct discrimination
against North Carolina in inter-
state freight rates.
Weeping SoreIy over the plight
of the poor shippers and stating
hat there was no demand for
passenger reduction anyhow, and
that it is "confscatory" anyway,
Mr.. Holton says that, if he were
in the legislature, he would fight
to the death to thwart this wick
ed trick of the railroads and the
Governor.
Up to the bright moment when
MI. HoIton mailed his letter to
Judge Bynum, we doubt that any
one in the state had ever heard
of his favoring anything that the
railroads did not favor. And
now that he is weeping over the
commission of a crime like this,
the Ideals borne in strongly that
Mr.. Holton is again engaged in
calling the attention of the Ad-
mi%niStration to the fact that it
has a District Attorney who is
actively engaged in fighting the
Democrats. That is a habit of
Mr.. Holton's that was well illuSt-
rated during his recent activity
in prosecuting revenue frauds,
after he had long been still as a
mouse; and by his more recent
subsistence after his activity had
convinced the President that he
ought to have another term.
Now that the railroads have
agreed to the compromise be-
cause they were afraid to fight
the rate and because they feared
that the Courts would not con-

slider seriously the mathematical
methods of Mr.. Plant Id making
North Carolin's expenses Is per
cent heavier than those on the
system of the Southern Railway
at large, MIR. HoIton feels per-
fectly safe in seeming to oppose
the railroads. Also, he is per-
fectly characteristic in his method
of dragging into the compromise
something that is not cOntempla-
ted in it and using that manufact-
ured canard to SANDER the Gov
ernor.
If the proposition that Cover
nor Glenn and the railroads were
together seeking to despoil the
people were not il the light of
recent history so inherently abb
Surd, it might be mentioned
more at length that the State,
through the Corporation Com
mission, has already started its
action before the Interstate Com
merce Commission to end inter-
state freight determinations and
that this case will be pressed to
a finish no matter what conclu.
sion is reached on the rate Ques-
ton. The State cannot legislate'
about interstate rates and did not
attempt to do so. So what has
that matter to do with the ques-
tan of ending advantageouSly an
irksome litigation?
1t is not to be expected that
Holton should cease playing
politics" but it would be more
interesting if he took the time to
make out a more plausible case.

THE LEGISLATURE.

agreement reached between the
Governor and the railroads look
ing to a settlement of the passen-
ger rate reduction litigation.
Called for this purpose, the
rate controversy is already al
most swallowed and over-shad-
Owed by the demand for State
prohibition formulated by a large
convention of the Anti-Saloon
League that met in Raleigh on
the same day the Legislature
convened.
The bill to put into effect the
Governors agreement will no
doubt be passed with little oppo-
sition, and the bill to enact State
prohibition gives every evidence
OF becoming a law at an early
date. The Hustler has already
expressed its views and convic-
tons on the propriety of such
action. 1t still holds those views
and an excess of sudden clamor
has not served to make it blind
to the evil that it sees In a meas
ure that it thinks ill-timed and
un-D emocratic. At the same
time, the best Democracy is
more empirical than philosophic;
and, if the Democracy wants
prohibition at this time, prohibi-
lion becomes Democracy by
force of a majority vote. 1t is
therefore the duty of all Demo-
Gratis, regardless of personal
opinion, TO accept the Democrat
&c verdict and-if evil shall re-
sult-help toward minimizing its
effects.
What is more important than
prohibition or no prohibition is,
at this iuncture, the Democratic
spirit and the Democratic aqui-
escence in result. Since the
fight has been precipitated, let it
be fought out to a finish on the
floor ofthe House and that of the
Senate. Let there be full and
frank discussion and candid diff
ferences. But let the battle pro-
coed generously on either side,
In fairness, without bitterness
and with the broad spirit that
does not read dishonesty into
difference. Let the clash come,
point to point and shield to shield;
let there be no hold back or TRIM
ming or compromising; and let
the issue be settled without dis
paraeement ofmotive on the part
of the majority or futile resent
ment on the part of the minority.
Democracy in North Carolina is
so much bigger and broader a
thing than prohibition that hurt
from such a cause would be in
the nature of attempted suicide.
As to the rate compromise,
there is some little effort on the
part of the Republicans to make
show of playing politics. Hav-
ing opposed any reduction of
rates In the first instance they
are now questioning the compro-
mise of a measure they fought
from the beginning. Such a
course fools no one and is scarce
ly more than the conventional
habit of opposition from men
who know that they are impotent
in either event. We're it posi-
bic. that the Legislature should
defeat the endorsement of the
Governors position, this hand
full of Survivals and accidents
would be numbered among his
most ardent supporters. Like
Hagenbeck animals the Repub-
lican contingent is sitting around

casionally jumping up and down

HEART FAILURE THE CAUSE
Once = Leading lightweight Boxer
officiated in Many Famous

Chicago, June 15.-George Siler. the
veteran referee and one of the best
known authorities on boxing i'm the
country, died Saturday night at 1920
o'clock at his home, 7S6 Forty-siXtif
street. from an attack of the heart.
The original ailment struck the vet
eran as he was walking on Madison
street, ready to depart to witness the
Ketchel-Papke battle at Milwaukee.
The most heroic, measures were
used to prolong his life, which were
successful for the time being
Mr.. Siler was 63 years old and early
in his career was one of the best
known lightweight boxers in the coun.
try. He had been connected with
literary work for nearly 40 years, hav-
ing handled a column on fistic lore
Ieven when he was actively engaged
as referee. His work as third man in
the ring soon brought him to the
front, and he was generally recognized
as one of the noted lights and authori-
ties on the ring
In Many Noted Battles.
Among the noted battles at which
he presided may be mentioned the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. bout for the
heavyweight title at Carson City in
1897 and the match between Jeffries
and Sharkey at Coney island after
Jeffries won the title.
| His last official appearance in the
ring was year ago when he refereed
bout at the c. A, A. and gave the
