the place as ''the house of God" and
this meant to them not simply place

by the divine presence and under the
divine care, and as such as safe against
fire as the hills themselves.
"Why did God let the house burn?''

One of the most forcible arguments

Great Britain already has a number of

ravage our great lake cities, which are

FREE TRANSPORTATION.
Most Street Railways Extend Courte-
sizes to the Police.

Most Street Railways Extend COurte-
sizes to the Police.
The police are now permitted to ride on
almost every line Of street cars In the city,
when in uniform, and the police officials
say that this courtesy on the part of the
several roads is of great assistance to the
officers. Especially is it the case with the
officers when they have to attend court
from outlying precincts, for 1t has the ef-
feet of keeping the officers off their beats
a much shorter time than II they had to
walk, and in this way 1t is claimed the pub
lie in general is greatly benefited. The last
road to furnish free transportation was the
electric branch of the Metropolitan road.
Policemen who ride on the Washington and
Georgetown railroad are required to give
their names to the conductors, while on the
other roads their uniform is sufficient. The
only roads on which the officers are not
permitted to ride flee are the Belt and
lexington and Soldiers Home roads, al
and this necessarily saves the company a
from time to time.
1t is thought by the officials of the de-
partment that the presence of officers on
the cars is a protec ton to the passengers,
and also to the roads. A small boy intend
irg to jump on a car will no doubt become
frightened off at the sight of an officer, and
in this way the manning, and perhaps kill
ing. of some of the youths may be avoided,
and this necessarily gives the company a
lawsuit.
In most large cities the right to permit
firemen and policemen to ride free is in
corporated in the charters of the roads
granted by the cities. This condition of
affairs exists in Chicago, where it is said,
1t is impossible for a company to get a
charter unless this privilege is incorporated
in it. In some cities the officers, and espe-
cially deteo tive officers, are required to
show their cards.
