Going to Roll Up a Big

II Up
AND MAKE IHE COLONEL MAYOR

The Ninth ward is naturally proud OF the
position accorded 10 in contemporaneous
municipal affairs because Of the selection OF
one Of its men for mayor.
Proverbially,a prophet Is not without honor
save in his own country. The 'neighborhood
test" of a citizens fitness and capacity Is
not always fair test Petty jealousies
springing from the intercourse OF everyday
life more often than not result in lower rat
ing being accorded TO the individual among
his own home people, in his own neighbor-
hood, than he receives from outside the
boundaries Of his little patch Of earth.
When mans neghbors, the people that
winter and summer him, are loyal to him,
however that is "A sure test that he deserves
honor. IL is the sort OF recommendation
that no one can dispute. IL is distinct and
unqualified tribute to substantial merit.

That the Ninth ward will be supported by
the other wards there is very little question
at this time. Colonel Hendricks strength
has certainly been growing since the day of
his nomination. Republicans are loyal to
him almost to man. The Independent vote
that is the Republican independent vote sees
in him the kind OF man they have all along
aimed to secure from party conventions-a
man of proved efficiency . I'd demonstr ated
capacity in the public service Eight years Of
experiences and hard and intelligent work in
municipal affairs commend the Republican
candidate to all citizens who want to see the
administration OF municipality conducted
on business principles, recognizing that a
leading principle In all business involves the
promotion OF faithful servants to an ever
higher position and more responsible duties.
Rarely mas a candidate for mayor fulfilled
in his candidacy these business conditions and
demands. Colonel Kendrick has had at ex-
ceptional experience. He has grown in the
confidence OF the people whose interests he
specifically represents when they do not con-
act with the interests CT the municipality as
a whole. His fellow workers in the Council.
of all political faiths, have shown in a
material way their esteem and confidence in
him. The delegates to the Republican eau.
cuses from every ward were united in his
nomination. From all quarters, then, he is
recommended in an unusual way to the
suffrages OF his fellow citizens who do not
know him so well. but 70 whom his record of
lublic service il open to all TO read.
He il all right. The Ninth ward is going to
back him royalty. And in everv Republican
ward in the city an unusual wnJority in his
favor Is confidently looked for by his frirnds
on Tuesday next.

1t is the good fortune of Colonel John r.
Kendricl, Republican candidate for mayor
20 stand exceedingly well among his own
immediate constituency in Ward .. The ciu-
zens Of all parties in that section OF the city
feel that his nomination for mayor is just
reward for efficient service TO the munici-
pality as well as 10 his ward. That the voters
of Ward propose on Tuesday next to show
their recognition of this tribute 10 their man
paid by the delegates from all tho wards OF
the city, unanimously and cordially paid at
that, is plainly evident. There will be big
vote in Ward o, and much the biggest part OF
il is going 10 be cast in favor Of Colonel Ken
drick. Indeed, it is predicted that the biggest
Republican majority ever given 10 any candi-
date in the history of local politics wall 10
cast in Ward for John e. Kendrick by his
neghbors and friends, the fellows that know
hixi best and who have come the more 10

claimed for the Republicans on straight

cratic councilman has been on it's taxpayers
ticket For eight successive terms IT has sent
John z. Kendrick to the Council. II has had
its faith In him justified by seeing HIM com
plimented by two elections TO the presidency
of the Council and now by seeing his nomina-
tion for mayor. Ninth warders have sup
ported him all the way up. They regard his
selection for mayor by the Republican conven-
tion as eminently right as the most available
man in the line Of promotion. Now the Ninth
warders are going TO give him their votes,

Had Bicyclist Gray observed the police
regulations respecting the speed of wheels
at street intersections yesterday morning
ne would probably not have caused the
death of MIR. Jones. The rules now permit
a speed of twelve miles between street
crossings and restrict the speed to eight
miles or less at such points There is very
good reason for this distinction, as yester-
days sad accident clearly shows. The
street crossings are the places of real dam
ger, where drivers. pedestrians and wheel
men alike must exercise particular care
where they must slacken their speed and
observe all the surroundings to make sure
that there is no danger of a collision
Otherwise the streets would be most unsafe
at these points. where travel is heaviest
and accidents such as that of Yesterday
would become most common 1t is not
plain that there is even now a general oh
servance of the rules In this regard Oh
servation tends to prove that the reyula-
ton Is obeyed only in part if at all by a
large number of the wheelmen, and the
killing Of Mr.. Jones should be followed by
general Tightening of the lines held by
the police over all the street users. In the
case OF MIR. Gray 1t is shown that he was
looking over his shoulder TO observe the
time as shown by a neighboring church
steepie when he struck his victim, who
was trying to cross the street He thus
contributed directly to the accident by fall
ing to note the safety of his course and
thus he. as do many other wheelmen and
venice users. put upon the pedestrian all
the responsibility for avoiding a collision
IL Is plain that Mr.. Gray Is not a typical
scorcher' and that his was by no means
as fragrant violation OF the regulations
as those that are perpetrated hourly upon
the most crowded thoroughfares by the
hump-backed specimens whom the author
tiles and the careful wheeimen are seeking
TO curb. but the accident serves as a warn
ing 10 all the wheelmen. whether they are
normally careful or careless, that they
must obey the laws in all particulars If
they wish to keep out of trouble

Approval of the Air Motors.

On the basis of the declarations of the
oIhcials OF the lexington and Belt con-
panies as to their desires, the experiments
with the air motor conducted here and the
report just presented by Engineer Commits
sioner Black on the subject. there is no
good reason now in sight why those roads
Should not forthwith proceed to complete
their equipment on a rapid transit basis rs
soon as the formal permission to use the
air system has been granted to them by
the full board of Commissioners 1t is as
stunned that the companies really desire 10
use the air system. Any other presump-
ton. such as might be suggested by the
former actions of the companies, could up
to this point have the strength only of sus-
pIcion.
The experiments have met with the ap-
p'oval of the engineering Commissioner.
under whose personal supervision they
were In effect conducted, and who has
gwen to them the most careful thought.
They have shown that an air motor of
the type ultimately selected for use In the
tests can make the nest difficult run
over the line under q single charge, with

power to spare. They have also shown
that single motor, Under service condi-
tons. can be relied upon to aid a disabled
Rotor to the source of power They have
In measure, though not to the entire sat-
isfact.on of all Observers, shown that the
motor can be used in continuous service
without halt or interruption. Incidentally,
and perhaps to the discontinue of the re-
ceiver and his principals, they have shown
that there is no necessity under all the
circumsts noes now known for the instalia-
tion OF pipe line with frequent recharging
stations to ensure continuous service.
Capt. Black, whose report leaves nothing
to be desired in the way of thoroughness
and consideration for the proper interests
Of both the companies and the public. can
see no warrant in the law for the laying
OF pipe lines with their occasional projec-
items for recharging on the route. He calls
attention to the fact that this whole pipe
line idea has been sprung on the COM
munity and the Commissioners, this pro-
Ject in fact never having been preached
during the discussions before Congress and
being inconsistent with the plea for an I'm
dependent motor" But Capt. Black is will
ing to offer reasonable facility for the
recharging of the storage bottles and sus
gests that 1t would be wholly proper to
permit the erection Of terminal stations.
with proper rechargirg machinery This
suggestion can only mean the establish
ment at the various terminals of compress
ing plants such as that originally contem-
plated at one end of perhaps each line. In
view Of the Commissioner failure to find
warrant in the law for pipelines for in
termediate use it is plain that he finds no
such warrant for pipe lines to connect the
terminal recharging stations with the CEN
trail plant. wherever 1t might be located.
Under these circumstances there can be
no public objection to the equipment of the
lexington and Belt roads with the air mo-
tors of the type now in evidence, with the
minor alterations that are suggested by
Capt. Black in his report. In view of the
language of the law and of the plain intent
of Congress to compel these companies to
provide rapid transit within the year end
ing with next June, there is nothing left
for the companies after the formal permits
sion is granted save the taking of imme-
date steps to equip all their lines with AIR
convenient schedule. AIRY haggling over
pipe lines or other claims that may now be
put forth for the first time Will be accepted
by the comm unity and doubtless by the
Commissioners and Corgress as indisputa-
BILE evidence of iDsincerity, such as is sus-
gested even now by the former experiences
of the community with these corporations.

Hawaii and Postal Banks,

From the Chicago Record.
If the United States annexes the Ha-
waiian Islands it will add to it's possessions
country that in one respect at least is
more civilized than itself. Hawaii has in
successful operation postal savings bank
system. There is on deposit with the postal
bank about S1,OO0,000, which is pretty
good showing for a country of 100000 pop
ulation, mostly iliterate natives and for
eign laborers.
If annexation of the islands were to
carry with 1t the extension to this country
of the postal savings bank system in opera
ton there, that would be a strong argu-
ment for annexation
