The Legislature is making
haste slowly and will do we'll to
continue this kind of policy upon
matters of import. If the solons
intend to stay with their jobs
through the entire sixty day it is
just as we'll to make a thorough
investigation of all measures
coming up for consideration.
However, we believe their work
could easily be completed in forty
days and incline to the opinion
that an especial effort should be
made looking to such a result.
If notice were given to this eff
feet the folks would get busy
and forward prospective meas
ures to their representatives at
Raleigh without delay. Many
matters are nearly always delay
ed until the closing days of the
session and then rushed through
with little consideration and Of
tentimes without any at all.

Governor Kitchin's admins
tration begins under most favor
able auspices and with all classes
of citizens feeling secure in his
announced policy of protecting
the interests of one and all. His
inaugural ADDRESS rings clear and
breathes a spirit of conservatism.
Taking the utterances of the new
Governor upon being indicted in
to office on Tuesday of last week,
at face value, he will be neither
radical" or intolerable, but
safe and sane" Let us all hope
so.
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1909-01-28

sidered just and reasonable by
all parties to the controversy.
The Governor says that he has
not made a personal investiga-
ton of the working and the mer-
its of the present law and is
therefore unprepared to express
himself fully and freely upon the
question at issue. 1t is his pur.
pose to more thoroughly inform
himself with reference to this
matter and when the next con-
ference is held he will doubtless
state his position and send a
message to the General Assembly
outlining his views upon the
question. Referring to this
passenger rate adjustment in his
inaugural address the Governor
said: 'The last Legislature re-
duced passenger fares. The
rates now in force, which saves
thousands of dollars annually to
the people from the old rates,
have been approved by the rail
roads as just and reasonable.
Conditions justify us in antici-
pating no agitation from any
change in passenger fares dur
ing the term of the incoming
administration"
1t is a bit surprising, in view
of the alleged settlement of this
question as previously outlined,
that the railroads should
seek to begin anew the agitation
which so greatly disturbed the
people for more than a year, and
which was supposed to have been
fully and finally adjusted to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
Governor Kitchin says he thinks
the railroads should consent to a
further trial of the rates rgreed
upon under normal conditions,
and expresses a hope that a trial
under such conditions would
show the rates fair to all con-
cerned. 1t will be recalled that
a serious financial disturbance
came upon the country during
the latter part of the year 1907
and this accounts largely for the
depression in business reported
by the railroads. If, as suggest
ed by the Governor, the railroads
will assent to the suggestion and
''let we'll enough alone" for q
while they will find that they
have not been seriously injured
after all. Anyway, we believe
it most unfortunate for all con
ceaned that a request to- open
this question has been made sc
soon after the enactment of the
compromise which was approved
by the railroads themselves.
Of course, if it is shown that the
railroads are losing money, they
should have relief, but the same
ought to come from the Legisla'
ture instead of the Corporation
Commission, as the railroads de
not appear to have the proper
conception of the powers with
which that court is vested. There
have been so many appeals from
the orders of the Commission
that the people look with suspic'
ion upon any suggestion from the
railroads to refer matters affect
ing them to that tribunal. Wheth'
er such an apprehension is JUST
fable we do not pretend to say

RAILROADS DISSATISFIED.

It is to be regretted that the
railroads are endeavoring to Sc
cure a re-opening of the passen-
ger rate question. The last legis-
lature passed a law reducing
passenger fares, which has saved
the people of the State thousands
of dollars, and the proposition to
go back to the old rates will be
bitterly opposed, as it ought to
be. The agreement reached be-
tween Governor Glenn and the
railroads was ratified by a spec
ial session of the General AS
sembly last year and everybody
seemed satisfied with the solu-
tionof the matter. The rail-
roads assented to it, and any fur
Their agitation of the question
win be most unwise for both the
State and the railroads them
selves. The people want peace.
Everybody is sick and tired of
agitation. No fair-minded Cit
zendesires to prosecute the rail
reads, but most all of us believe
in square deal" Sworn re-
ports of the railroads show that
the present rates are not con-
fscatory, yielding a fair return
for the real value of the property,
ard the railroadIofficials are max
ing a mistake in seeking to an
null the action of the legislature
of 1903 in accepting the compro-
mise agreed upon by the Cover
nor and the roads.
But it looks like the fight is
on. A number of railroad pres
dents called on Governor Kitch-
in last Thursday and urged him
to recommend a re-opening of
the question, stating that the
present fares were unremunera-
tive, that when they were
agreed upon it was with the
understandingfthat they should
he tried for one year and if said
rates proved injurious to the
roads the Governor would con-
sent to a reference of the matter
to the Corporation Commission,
requesting the Legislature tc
give said Commission power tc
re-adjust and fix the rates.
These officials say that after
having tried the rates eight
months they find it improbable
to conduct their business in &C.
cerdance with the law passed by
the General Assembly of 1907
and amended by the special SEES
sion of 1908. They declare il
will be a hardship to have tt
wait until another Legislature
convenes and desire the present
Governor to take action at this
time in order to have the matter
adjusted without litigation

Sermons In Ancient Times.

st. Augustine's sermons lasted about
eighteen minutes, but in that ancient
day it was no uncommon thing to
have several at the same service.
When two or more bishops were pres
emit it was usual for them and the
presbyters to preach one after the
other, reserving the last place for the
highest dignitary. Some consolation
however, was to be found in the fact
that applause was permitted and
many of st. Chrysostom's sermons
were hailed with the tossing Of gar
ments and waving of handkerchiefs."
