Fear Trolley Freight Bill Con
tains Some Deadly Am
buscade.
IT IS LAID UP FOR REPAIRS
But Will Undoubtedly B« Passed
When Legislative Doctors Have
Succeeded in Extracting Its Venom.
Trolleys May Become Numerous.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrisburg, Pa. —A groat deal of
interest is being displayed in the fate
of the trolley freight bill that has been
scut back to committee for amend
in. nt. Soma think that it is never to
see the light of day again and that its
enemies are responsible for its re
commitment. But this view is not
generally accepted. Although it is the
evident purpose of the. railroad com
panies to keep all inimical railroad
legislation in committee, both friends
and eDemies of the trolley freight bill
were responsible for sending the
measure back to the committee on
electric railways for repairs.
A bill allowing trolley cars to carry
freight will be passed just as certain
as anything can be. The disposition
of the legislators and the temper of
the people will allow nothing else.
But the lawmakers realize that there
is danger in giving trolley companies
too much power, just as the railroads
have had too much leeway in the past.
It is desired that trolley companies
shall be regulated by the cities and
boroughs through which they pass.
Otherwise it might happen that freight
handling, proving more profitable than
passenger traffic, the latter would be
discriminated against by the trolley
companies much to the disadvantage
of the people.
Bill Carelessly Drawn.
There is one thing certain, and that
is that the moment the bill allowing
trolley companies the right to carry
freight passes and is put upon the
statute books there will be a great
impetus to the trolley business. Now
Companies will spring up all over the
state and this state is likely to be
gridironed from one end to the other
with trolley linos within the next few
years. It consequently behooves the
lawmakers togo slow in granting so
important a privilege to trolley com
panies. The bill that came near pass
ing the house would allow freight of
any and all kinds to be carried in the
same cars with passengers, for there
was no provision or restriction of any
kind respecting the latter. It was a
carelessly drawn bill and had been
very hurriedly considered in commit
tee.
The passage by unanimous vote in
rhe house of the L'-ceut fare bill was
administered as a sort of rebuke tr,
President George i'\ Baer of the Phila
delphia & Reading railway, who inti
mated that members of the legisla
ture had the right to violate their
pledges of they wished to do so in
voting upon the 2-cen. fare bill. Xot
a member of the lower house dared
vote against the measure—not even
Air. Blai'.cjilos, Democrat, of Carbon,
who nw.de a speech against the mea
sure. He declared lhat the bill is
unconstitutional.
May Need Amendment.
Well, wh. ther the bill is unconsti
tutional or not, it went through the
house and will go through the sen
ate unless it is found to be illegally
drawn. Then some amendments will
be made to it to make it legal. There
is nothing that can stop it.from going
through, not even George F. Baer or
and of his railroad associates.
Both the trolley freight bill and
the 2-cent fare bill were in the plat
form of the Republican party, and
the Republicans have • ssumed the re
sponsibility for putting both of these
bills through. The senate is not un
der railroad domination. Even if a
majority of the members should feel
friendly toward the railroads, most of
the members are ambitious politically,
and any man knows that it would be
political suicide for him to attempt
to sidestep any of the great issues
of the day.
Rights of Foreigners.
The bill prohibiting unnaturalized
foregn-born citi; - .. us from possessing
firearms and making it unlawful for
anyone to sell firearms to them is
going to get a Lump before it gets
through. I). F. Dempsey, of Lacka
wanna, threatens to make a fight
igainst its passage. 1-Ie says that the
bill is not a "square deal" to the for
eigners. lie says that they are not
all criminals and that to prohibit
them from possessing weapons of any
kind Is an infringement upon their
per onal lights. It allows officers to
'•reak into the dwelling of any foreign
er who i» suspected of carrying or
owning firearms. After five days the
••iTlecis iireak in ;i on the
same errand. Mr. Dempsey says that
foreign-born women are often obligeil
to carry weapons for their own pro
tection and that it would be a hard
ship to them to be deprived of this
privilege.
Mr. Esler, of Allegheny, has a bill
providing for the education of all
classes of foreigners. He wants to
establish educational camps where the
foregn born may have an opportunity
to learn the English language and
the American way of doing things.
The idea is to teach the foreigner
something about our American gov
ernment in order that he may become
a useful citizen.

The Chances of To-Day.
That was a happy remark of Gov.
I Stuart to the students of the Carnegie
j Technical schools in Pittsburg on
i Wednesday. "I want to say to you
that there is a greater chance for men
ofintegrity, industry and ability than
there ever was in the world's history."
i The governor had just observed that
I there are men who say there is not
the same chance for youug men to-day
i lhat there was 25 years ago.
i Jt has been said of the new governor
: that, as he is not a lawyer and not
| given much to oratory, it must not be
expected of him that he shall shine
; as a public speaker, but here we have
! proiif that he can concentrate a great
many striking truths into a few words.
| What he told the "tech" boys is wor.
thy the careful consideration of every
Pennsylvania youth with genuine am
j bition. The idea that there is less
| chance to-day than in the last genera
j tion is an absurdity. It is the stock
; argument of the thoughtless and the
j covenient refuge of the dolSss. As
I Gov. Stuart pointed out the royal r ad
j to success is still open to him who in.
' dustry and integrity—are unchanged.
With the growth of the world, the ad
vancement in methods, the progress
| of development and the opening of
! »ew and undreamed of avenues of en
deavor—as electricity, for instance
j it is inevitable that there should be a
| wider diversity and an increased num
j ber of changes and success. While in
! the matter of population we have
j thousands where in the long ago there
j were only hundreds, it must not be
I forgotten that the needs and demands
;of the world have expanded, that
I genius, invention and science, the di
! versions, business and social require
, ments of mankind have multiplied vo
: cations aDd created opportunities for
| material success to a degree that
j would have appeared impossible to our
forefathers. The cry for competent
young men, strong in their integrity
and purpose, is as loud today as ever
; before, and it is up to the young man
himself to work out the chances of
i success, just as it has been always.
