Arbitration.

The public sentiment for arbitration
Of the street car strike Is gaining In
strength because 1t is the only means
left, whatever else may be suggested.
When all other means fail the parties
to controversy In business matters. In
law. In labor troubles. In even interna-
tlonal disputes. find n compromise bet
ter than entire failure to agree.
Results of arbitration In labor trou-
bles throughout the country have al
most invariably proven satisfactory. y
cause Is weakened. when Its advocates
fail to recognize the principle that COM
promise Is better than defeat, where the
welfare OF themselves and of the public
Is at stake. Wheeling people are being
treated to an object lesson In this abso-
lutte fact. Interviews with representa-
tive citizens Of every class indicate that
the sentiment referred to Is growing.

that he committed an assault upon Mrs.

He was. therefore, plainly liar. Yet
