that because for one moment we ad-

that we could get to the bottom of the

Not Private Concern.

81 do not recall, however, that the
papers gave very much emphasis to the
thing which impressed me more forcibly
than anything else that came out at that
session. The thing that impressed me was
the iterated, reiterated, declared. and re-
declared statement of the representatives
of the street railway company that the
WASHINGTON Railway and Electric Com
pany is a private corporation; that its
books, records, papers, and accounts, are
private, and that they must be considered
private by the Public Utilities Commits
sion 1 must emphaticaIly, unequivocably,
and unalterably dissent from that view.
A Street railway company is not private

ton Absolutely every transaction of the
officers, directors and the employees of a
street railway company ought TO be open

why was the public utilities law
passed last winter, and why has the Dis
trfct of Columbia now a legally instituted
Public Utilities Commission? It is be-
cause from length to breadth of the
United States the amiable theory that a
doing a public business still
remains a private corporation has been
taken by the scruf OF the neck and
thrown overheard. That theory is so an
cient that it is bald. toothless and gray
whiskered.
Il cannot conceive how an intelligent
officer OF attorney of public service cor
poration can have the effrontery to stand
up in the presence Of any community in
the year 1918 and still make that worn
out claim. The very public utilities law
itself is nothing but a reflection of the
cor clusien accepted uni
versally by the people of the United
States that a corporation transacting
public business is a public and not a
private concern, and that the only justi-
ication in the wcrld for the control and
regulation of these companies by a gov
ernmental agency Is the fact that they
are engaged In a public business in which
the primary interest is the public's in
terest, which the servants of the public
are directed to conserve.

having committed murder last Decem-
Der. Rush was located at Olar and a
warrant for his arrest was sent to the
sheriff here. Capt. Norris went to
Olar last night to get his man and
found him in the employ of DR.. Lay

being deprived of his cook, and asked
that he be allowed to communicate
with the governor. he did this over
the telephone and the governor in
formed Capt. Morris that he had no
right to arrest the negro without re-
QUESTION papers. The governor told
DR.. Hartzog that is requisition papers
were gotten that he would set a date

The Gateway to Chimney Rock.

Up in western North Carolina they
are taking herioc means to accomplish
something in the good roads line
the good road leading, as it always
does, to better towns and open coun-
try and bigger opportunities and de-
yelopment and larger values.
Here is the copy of a CIRCULAR
yellow circular at that-which is be-
ing sowed down on the roads of a
certain section of that country which
is away up nigh to the heavens:
ANY One! Travelling owe ra road
will assist in its upkeep unless they
are nothing! Buy a ticket to the pie
mic dinner, pay the lady solicitors
something. Shovel dirt or go
through the woods as did the savages
a thousand years ago. Be a man, not
a Nothing!"
There's an old ex-printer in that
country who.say the wealth of seem
cry and atmosphere, crops and miner
ais and timber in the Chimney Rock
valley, He decided to get into that
country with a good road and make
it possible to get the treasures out.
Last Friday and Saturday there were
two thousand five hundred days of
voluntary work put on the road to be-
gin with. The counties of that sec
ton of the state are to spend a mil
lion and third in bond-bought dollars
on roads. The country is alive to the
goodroad situation and is getting busy.
Chimney Rock valley and the section
about it are to be great shining ex-
amples to the rest of the g~ood-road-
needing South.-Athens (Ga.,) Banner.

Faces Deportation.
Thaw faces deportation on the
ground that he is am undesirable alien
u extradition on a warrant charg-
ING him with bribery. The warrant al
ready issued in New York state on a
charge of conspiracy will not suffice to
~extradite him, in the opinion of the
local authorities. These authorities
received word tonight that the district
attorney of Duchess county, in which
Matteawan is located, was on his way
here prepared to swear to a warrnt
charging Thaw with bribery-an ex-
tTaditable offense-if~ necessary.
In his own defense Thaw claims he
was merely passing through Canada
on his way to Detroit when. his pas
sage was interrupted by his arrest.
He exhibited what he claimed to be
transportation to Detroit in support of
this claim, and cited the case of Jack
Johnson to bear out his contention
that he can't be sen back to the Uni
ted States by Canadian authorities
SO long as he simply was passing
through the country and intends to
go beyond it's borders.
District Attorney Conger, of Dutch
ess county, New York, it is under
stood here, wants Thaw ordered de-
ported and returned to the United
States over that part of the interna-
tional line touched by the state of
New York. Thaw came into the do
from New Hampshire, how
ever, and if custom is followed, he
would go back to New Hampshire.
The Canadian immigration depart
ment at Ottawa wired the chief of
police here this afternoon to hold
Thaw under the immigration act, indi-
eating that steps will be taken to de-
port him. This theory was made al
a certainty by, the information
that the department had sent two in
spectors to Sherbrooke with instruc-
tons to watch the case and institute
proceedings to deport Thaw.

Currency Bill Delayed.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Unexpected
developments in regard to the cur
rcncy reform legislation in the senate
today promises serious complications
for President Wilson's plans for the
passage of a currency bill at this ses-
sion of congress. At a conference OF
Democratic members of the senate
currency committee, Chairman Owen,
who has been considered one of the
original trainers of the bill now be-
fore the democrats of the house, made
it clear to his associates that he vas
opposed to several features of the bill,
including the plan for twelve regional
reserve banks, and that he would re
commend important changes in the
measure.

Hundreds Worked Hard.

Hundreds Worked Hard.
There was something doing on the
Bat Cave road between Henderson
Vile and Chimney Rock Thursday and
friday of last week when nearly a
thousand men lent their efforts for
he repairing of that highway. Pro-
baby no t~horoughfare in this sec
ton is in greater need of repair than
he road to Chimney Rock and as a
result of the two days getting togeth-
er of the patriotic men and women of
the section through which the road
passed as well as others from distant
parts, much good was accomplished.
The weather mitigated against the
work to an extent but there was con-
siderable enthusiasm demonstrated by
the companies and batallions assem-
b1ed for the public Improvement. The
idea which had been suggested by J..
T. Patrick of combining fun and work,
resulted admirably and while the dirt
flew and hills and hollows became
level, and the volunteers felt that they
were having a good time. Following
the two days work there was a big
barbecue at a place halfway on the
road and there was j%ollifying and cele-
brating. Some of the prominent gen
tlemen present delivered interesting
addresses all of which had bearing on
the great work of better roads.
