THE MAYORS VETO
 IS SUSTAINED City Council Refuses to Pass Airbrake Ordinance a
 Second Time.
BATTLE OF ORATORY
Aldermen Veil and SOrrells Made De. termined Effort to
 Pass it.

In the face of determined fight by Aldermen W. B. Sorrells and Ben Well to pass the "airbrake ordinance" over Mayor Simon Blooms veto at last nights meeting of the city council. that body sustained the chief execu- tive in his official act and by the most decisive vote of five to three put them- selves on record as not being willing to do something, which, after seeing it from the same side as their two colleagues, they believed was wrong and unfair.
 Mayor Bloom was sustained after a bitter fight on the floor of the coun- Gil chamber, in which Aldermen Sor- rells and Veil fired "oratorical combs" into the sides of corporations and especially the Pine Bluff Com pany and pleaded that their motive was solely to protect human life and compel the street car company to give the people of Pine Bluff what they were entitled to-modern equipment on it's street cars.
 The fireworks began when City Clerk Lee reported the veto of Mayor Bloom on the airbrake ordinance. passed at the last session of the city council by vote of seven to one, and which required the Pine Bluff Con- pany to equip it's cars with airbrakes giving the company sixty days in which to comply with the new law. As soon as City Clerk Lee had read the veto, Alderman Veil was on his feet and moved that the council pass the ordinance oyer the mayors veto. His motion was seconded by Alder man Sorrells.
 Alderman Fox moved a substitute motion that the mayors veto be sus- talned. Before Alderman Simpson nad seconded the substitute motion, Alderman Veil objected to a substi- ute. declaring that he wanted to be heard on the original motion, but AL derman Fox assured him that the sub- stitute would not prevent him from having his say in full.
 Alderman Well began by charging that the Pine Bluff Company was dic- tatlng to the council. He said that he mad read with great surprise of the mayors veto of the airbrake ordin- ance and that the council had acted unwlsely in passing an ordinance that was for the safety of the people. He sald ne was not urging the passage of the ordinance because of spitework, nor just for the purpose of fighting a corporation, but to give the people protection. He claimed to have inves- ugated the matter, to have had mes- sages from manufacturers of air brakes that could be installed on single truck cars. It was not an injustice to the car company, he said, to make them equip their cars with airbrakes.
 Alderman Veil spoke several times on the subject, rpicturing a funeral of street car: victim, who might be a

The prime minister has none of the ex- presidents fidgety activity. of his sangune. explosive impetuosity, of his gazing manysidedness, of his passion for estimabe Verities that hitherto had al ways granted, of his headlong, hectoring temperament or of his genius for adVer- tisenent. But he makes up for these distressing defects by being a least MT Roosevelt's equal in fliimitable seIf-confidence and his superior in varying determinations

If there is any one question that refuses to stay permanently satisfactorily answered, is that of wages. There always has been and probably will be for a long time to come, much difference of opinion the share that belongs justly the capital invested, to the executive who plans, the foreman who supervises, and the who do the work. The big rewards naturally go the of initiative and action. the who knows how to accomplish the results in the shortest time with the least of capital labor.

 The boss represents the corporation.
