To achieve that end The| | Call recommends Mayor Schmitz to at once appoint | a committee to consider ways and means, with in- structions to make a report at as early a date as possible That the Republican Committee will of its own motion select this city as the place for holding the Presidential convention is not to be expected. well begin National The city is geographically remote irom the centers of and to a_good many members of the delegates. * We must overcome those We must be able to show that neither the time nor the expense required by the journey is great, and that the superior advantages of the city in other respects are sufficient to overcome the To make that showing we must place ample data in the hands of those who are to present committee, and the work of collecting the data should begin at once. venient for objections, very our claims before the The chief points involved in the proposition are the time and cost of making the trip across ‘the conti- nent; the ability of the railways to handle the traffic promptly and commodiously: the capacity of the city for entertaining and housing the delegates and the sightséers who will attend the convention: the | vision of a suitable hall for the meeting; the abil- ty of the telegraph lines to handle the news of th and, fimally, which the will guarantee the expenses of the convention. Upon cach and all of those questions it is easy e proceedings, the extent to city enough to give an offhand opinion. Men who are @t all familiar with the various factors can readily form approximate estimates of their value. Such however, would be of little avail before the National Committee. They will wish definite point, and wd must opinions and estirhates, on each be prepared to furnish it. The collection of the data can be best made by a representative body of citizens, who would undertake to confer with the railroads, the hotels, the telegraph lines and local capitalists; and learn just what each can agree to do in case the convention should come information here. With that mmrmalmn on hand it would then be possible for the committee to decide whether or no | it be worth while for the city to actively enter mm\ the competition.

The Call therefore recommerfts the I\Iaynri to at once appeint a committee to consider the ques- tion. Our prospects for obtaining the convention are at this time so good it would be foolish to per- mit the occasion to pass without at least making | an effort to profit by it In his proposed visit to California President Roose- velt has decided to give San Francisco only two days of his distinguished presence. If he persists in this decision. he will have to be responsible for the forcing the hospitality of a week The city’s feel- ings of welcome to the President are of the whirlwind sort consequences of into a time which will not contain it. THE ABUSE OF INJUNCTIONS. HILE the conservative common sense of the people does not hesitate to condemn the demagogues against injunction is issued, clamor the courts there is never- theless a growing conviction that the practice of is- suing injunctions has been carried too far and has reached a point where it threatens to weaken publu.l confidence not only in the justice but in the sanity of some of our Judges. To such an extent has the cvery time an | practice been carried that injunctions are sought for upon all sorts of grounds, some of them ridiculous, and yet upon even the most absurd of them there | have been found Judges quite willing to usue the restraining order. An extreme instarice of this kind Las been re- ported from West Virginia. A number of students at the university of that State undertook to silence one of the professors, and carried their violence so far as to break up the furniture of the room where he was lecturing. Details of the story have not been received, but it appears to have been at best no more than one of those outbreaks for which Amerp can college men are becoming unpleasantly notorious. The faculty required the leaders of the disturbance to apologize under penalty of expulsion, The stu- dents thereupon applied for an injunction restraining the faculty from enforcing their order, and they ob- tained it. Clearly it is time to call a halt, or our courts will soon be overrun with applications from school- boys asking injunctions to prevent teachers from in- flicting punishment upon them for playing hookey. The issue has its serious side. Judge Tuley of Chi- cago is reported to have recently said in passing upon an injunction issued in a labor controversy: “I am not surprised at any injunction of any kind being issued. I regret it very much because I believe that the issuing of such writs of injunction brings the ad- ministration of justice into contempt. It breeds dis- content, and we will reap the whirlwind some day from the seeds so sown. The day may come in the | not distant future when the working classes will have political control and will appoint Judges who will also issue writs of injunction—in their favor. I | see no reason why a writ of injunction should not as 1f every man is worth his price this Gotham | well issue against a railroad enjoining it from dis- flcharging any employe or from failing to pay such em- of holding-the next Republican National Con- | | is wholesale stealing going on in the counties. | whether $2, IP‘O)’A a certain fiud rate of wages. It would be no i greater departure from the true principles that ought | to govern when issuing such writs.” Judge Tuley is right. Law must be founded upon i reason as well as upon precedent, and reason dic- . tates a halt in the injunction march. s It is reported that some of the big railways carry Such being the case we might as| imported goods from the Atlantic seaboard to the interior at less rates than are charged for domestic goods, and as a consequence the protective duties The Interstate Commerce Com- are largely offset. mission will have to get a bigger club. e e el NEW ENGLAND TROUBLES. OR reasons which are not apparent at this dis- Flancc the pegple of New England have begun { to make their troubles known to the outer world. do such things. tion of the Union. tions from New York, Chicago, Charleston or San | Francisco. When they have troubles of their own they either tell them quietly to a policeman or else they embody them in a poem, a philosophy or | problem novel and never mention names. Just now | they are doing the other thing. Press, pulpit and ora- }mth howls of wrong and sin. have {ollowed on an incident that in itself is trifling. | Dr. Hale, a man of some note outside of Boston as well as within, took communion one Sunday at an ,I-p:scopalmn church, notwithstanding the fact that he is a Unitarian. There was a Squabble over the affair, and somebody said Boston should tolerate Mr. Hale despite his religious and thereupon another said it was a question whether Mr. Hale would tolerate Boston. \ The controversy raised in that way broadened un- til men became bold enough to put the question straight, “Is New England altogether lovely?’ Others have been bold enough to answer with equal straightness: *“She is not lovely except when seen through tinted spectacles. - Looked at with the naked eye she is a bunch of deformities.” One of the evidences of her unloveliness has been revealed by the vote in New Hampshire on a con- stitutional amendment designed to establish religious equality between Catholics and Protestants. Abso- eccentricities, Christian equality, so there was submitted to the people a proposition to strike out the word “Protest- ant” and substitute the word “Christian” in that por- tion of the bill of rights permitting towns to appro- priate money for religious societies. It was voted dowr. Intensify of religious intolerance does not, how- ever, interfere in any part of New England with large toleration of rich men who are willing to swap coin for votes. The Boston Transcript talks tions, if not in legislation,” tion that the charges are true. Much the same charge made against Massachusetts herself. At a recent dinner of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform® As- sociation one of the principal speakers said: “There know how it was in Norfolk County sottie years ago, and it is as bad elsewhere. TIre county rings are the most powerful and vicious political organizations in the State.” Down in Rhode Island things are just about as bad. The Governor recently sent a message to the Legislature saying: “In a considerable number of our | towns bribery is so common and has existed for so many years that the awful nature of the crime has ceased to impress. In some towns the bribery takes place openly, is not called bribery, not considered as a serious matfer. The money paid to the voter, $5 or $20, is spoken of as a payment The claim that the mbney paid to the | elector is not for the purpose of influencing his vote, | but in compensation for time lost in visiting the polis, is the merest sophistry and should not deceive any adult citizen of ordinary intelligence.” Such are some of the stories with which the New Englanders are regaling themselves in the merry springtime. It is safe to say, however, that they will not continue very long. In a few weeks New Eng- {land will return to her normal condition and her people will go about assuring one another that wick- | edness does not exist east of the Hudson, nor intol- erance norgh of the Sound; that it is but right a man should be paid for his time when he goes to vote, and that Boston tolerates everything—even Dr. Hale. | for his time. Of all the great trusts that hive in New York none Company. When it is not fighting outside foes it has a struggle with treasan on the inside. Thus it has all the appearance of a block of ice tossed about in a cea of hot water, and carrying a miniature vol- cano inside. At the present time a minority of the stockholders have succeeded in getting a committee appointed tq, examine the books and make_ a full in- vestigation of the management. One of the kick- ers is charged with saying: “I don't care a cuss for the interests of the American Ice Company. I have been played for a sucker.” The situation of the company is thus extremely interesting, and it wonld seem that the temperature of the stockholders’ meet- ings will not diminish until the price of ice rises and dividends grow larger. When that happens the out- siders will resume operations and there will be more trouble. How would you like to be the iceman? Tt is asserted that one reason why the House gives way to the Senate whenever there are disputes be- tween the two is that the bosses are in the Senate. Whenever Hanna or Quay or Platt goes over to the House and tells the members from his State to get into line they dé so without kicking. 1f the stories from New York be true, Bryan will ploding the Parker boom.
