Gil of Franklin advertised for bids

there were several bids submitted
the council accepted one bid, when
there were two other bids lower
than the one accepted. the Mayor
protected against this but the
council accepted that higher bic
against his protest. The lower
bids were not considered.
To this action many tax payers
became dissatisfied and filed suit
and the decision of Judge O'Nei
is that the council is empowered
by law to pave the walks, but tina,
ordinance awarding the contrac
to the third lowest bidder was al
over-reach of the discretionar,
power conferred upon municipal
corporations, and the contract il
thereby dissolved aud set rside
The costs were assessed agains

Discretionary Power.

During the course of the trial of
the case of the Messenger against
the Police Jury for voting down q
specific bid and accepting one with
a string to it, District Attorney
Muller who has some exaulted
ideas of bossism said /: 1.-THE Po-
lice Jurors have some discretiona-
~ power that no ono has a right
tc question; he the District Attor-
ney had the discretionary power
to mol. pros. a case and no one had
q right to ask for his reason, that
no one had right to ask the Judge
q reason for deciding a case one
way or the other. Are these not
sxaulted ideas for public servant?
If Tony had followed the course
of modern history be would have
known that some other rulers had
some exaulted ideas that were
lowered by public opinion and the
sovereign will of the people.
The Sultan of Turkey, for in
stance. he ruled with such ideas,
but by the will of an outraged peo-
pie he is now without job aud
without his liberty.
The Shah of Persia was another
ruler who was above the people
and public opinion but the people
got tired of ruler with such high
IDEAS, and he also is today without
q lob and without a country.
Again, Cypriano Castro, the
great ruler and dictator OF Vene
zuela, he was supreme in bis
mind, but the people would not
have it so aud he is also out of his
job and without a country.
Even Zelaya the ruler with an
iron hand, the boss of Nicarag ua,
the people would not tolerate in
his arrogance aud he also has lost
his job and his country.
Bear in mind Tony. that public
opinion is a great lever, and the
wrath of the populace, the great
est of all supreme powers.
Those who want to preserve their
Jobs, should learn moral from
these lessons.

Eastern Shore Citizens File
Complaint.
B. w. KINDLEY.
State Secretary.

A petition signed by about 1000 resi-
dents of the Eastern Shore protesting
against the facilities, furnished by the
Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Rail
road Company, the Maryland, Delaware
and Virginia Railway ompany and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for both
freight and passenger service between Bal
timore and Eastern Shore points. has
been filed with the Public Service Com
mission.
The commission has been investigating
the Chesapeake Bay traffic. both as to
facilities and rates, and many questions
concerning the proposed investigation
have been referred to the counsel for
opinions.
The people of the Eastern Shore are
anxious to do business in Baltimore, but
the steamboat companies make it almost
impossible. The companies, especially
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
SO arranged its time tables that the people
of the Eastern Shore, as far down as Cris-
field, can go to Philadelphia and return
in one day and have plenty of time to
transact business and shop in the Quaker
City. The time tables for Baltimore. are
arranged in such way that such a trip to
Baltimore in one day is impossible. Not
only do the companies discriminate
against Baltimore in the arrangement of
their time table, but it is alleged that the
rates are also made in favor of Philadel-
phia and against Baltimore.
