the railroads have ceased to build
cars, and to make extensions. They
are of coarse the largest usen of

will not last ilwsys. The wave of
erratic legislation that has swept
over the .country Is now receding.

That sort of operation la unpleasant
enough while it la going on and the

doubts as to whether or not be will

and the house Is more comfortable
and healthier after the ordeal la over.
Uncle Sam’s house will be set, in
order after the ordeal la overXZ"?; Y
order after the so called panic has
passed. The corners will be cleared
of financial rubbish and the weeds of
speculation trimmed down.
Lumber is governed by the old
law of supply and demand that even
a speculative system cannot over
come. The supply la not Increasing
and the demand is sura to do so.
Lumber will be higher than ever In
a short time. There Is no reason
for woe at the temporary depression.

The death knell of caw freedom

candidate for mayor and a majority
of the board of aldermen had been
elected. If there Is anyone In town
who might be excused tor crowing s
little bit, yes even tor gloating, It Is
the Times-Enterprlse. For five
years this paper has advocated shot-
ting the cattle off the streets. The
Issue has heretofore failed to carry
and the paper has cheerfully taken
lta medicine and smiled at the none
too generous gibes of the cow ele
ment.
Though we are very glad that our
side has triumphed this time we have
no disposition to Jeer at the defeat-
We rejoice not because they have
lost, but becaose we believe that the
result will mean the lasting good of
Thomasvlllc. We regard It as a step
the march of progress that was
bound to come sooner or later, the
sooner tho better. It will mean
cleaner streets, better health, less
expense for fencing, more safety for
the women and children, and will put
lie spirit, and experieac* admirably

beat attention an^te every endeavor

Hit opponent has ne reason to feel
disgruntled at the result. Mr.
MacIntyre la a very yonng 'man.and
made a very good race. There was
nothing said and Is nethlng to be
said against his character and integ
rity. If he shows that he It man
enough to bear defeat, if he will curb
bis restleps ambition, serve for a tow
years on.the board of aldermen, and
get on the right side of the Issue of

Thomasvlllc and he will make a good
one,
