The Boston street railway strike has
given new prominence to the fact that
the patrons Of the street railway in the
larger cities have rights which are
denied them whenever traffic is inter
rupted or stopped from any cause. In
stead of employer and cmploye being
the only parties directly interested in Il
street railway strike, the public is in
jurcd by the loss of transit accommoda-
tions In other words, there is a special
reason why the public should interfere
and force some kind of II settlement.

LrNcH L1m IN KENrL cKr.

Law-respecting people everywhere
will commend the decision of Governor
Bradley of Kentucky to use all the au-
thority mt his command to suppress
lynchlng in that state. the frequency Of
which of late makes an urgent demand
for strong measures. Governor Bradley
promised the people of Kentucky when
he came into power that appeals to
lynch law would receive no federation
and that he would employ all his power
TO bring to punishment those who en-
gagged in this sort of mob violence. This
warning appears, however, to have had
little effect because local officials evil
dently are not in sympathy with the
views of the governor regarding lynch
ing, and he has now concluded TO exert
his authority regardless of these ofii-
cials, using the military power of the
state to prevent mob violence. While
his action is departure from the regu-
lar course II Is justified by the circum-
stances ana no good citizen of Ken
