SERVICE AND COMPENSATION.

Commissioner McGann of the depart
mcnt VI public works spoke wisely
when he said: "rhe first consideration
of Il franchise should he accommoda-
ton Of the public: the second. compen-
sation for privileges"
There has been so much talk of com.
pensation for special privileges that
therc Is danger of overlooking more
vital features of municipal franchise
policy. Those who profit from the
grant of special privileges should in
deed make adequate compensation to
the public treasury in return. Hut OF
even more Importance is the character
Of the service to be rendered by fran.
chisc- holding corporations. Service
should come first. Compensation,
though important. is subsidiary to the
other. which Is the prime object OF the
municipality in granting concessions.
1t would be u mistake to begin the
study of the street railway situation In
Chicago with an inquiry rs to the rate
of compensation which the various
companies now enjoying franchise
privileges should pay for renewals Of
those privileges. Chicago needs much
better street car service than II Is now
receiving. For one thing, the system
should he unified. SO that the payment
of so many fares will not be required
| in travelling from one section Of the
city to another. Instead Of renewing
the franchise of the numerous existing
companies. the Council should. II posi-
bic. insist on dealing with u single
company doing business over the en-
tire city. The question Of sujways OF
tunnels for the better accommodation
of downtown traffic ought also to III
taken into account when the franchise
renewal ordinances are under cOnsld
Grafton. There should be an attempt
too. to secure the substitution of thu
underground for the overhead trolle!
in the more populous portions of tn
city. where the danger from fallini
wires Is greatest. More and bette
cars, at shorter intervals In most cases
should be insisted on rs a matter .
course. After arrangements shall hav
been made for adequate service and
unified street car system 1t will be- a
order to inquire the rate of compens,
ton which a corporation can right
he asked to pay for the privilege of fu'
nishing such service.--ChicngO RccOr'

WANT mr. FOR SENATOR.

Freeport. Ill.,. March j.-1n the event
OF an opening the Republicans of Ste
phenson County will do all they can TO
make Congressman Robert Il. Hit II
candidate for United States Senator.
The sentiment i'm favor of Mr.. Hit Is
apparently unanimous. 1t developed
strongly at the primaries on saturday
when his name was substituted on the
ballots for that of Cullom. and again In
to-day's convention when the senior
Senator's name was ignored. The Scn-
atorial convention for this district will
not be held until May Is. after the state
ticket Is nominated and the action of
the Peoria convention with reference
to the Senatorial question Ii known.
The object In fixing this late date to
nominate members of the Legislature
was not to drag II into the Tanner
CullOm controversy.
The delegates of Stephenson as well
as every other county In the Ninth Dis
trict to the Congressional convention,
which will be held here tomorrow, are
instructed to renOminate Mr.. Hit. He
will have no opposition. but the leaders
say that his denomination to Congress
will not stand In the way of his becom-
ing a candidate for Senator II future
| developments show that the chances
are against Senator Cullom succeeding
himself. Gen. Smith ID. Atkins, Is
authority for the statement that II the
State convention does not. by the adop.
ton OF resolutions. demand the return
Of CullOm to the Senate, the Republic.

The delegates to the Congressional
convention were instructed for Rober
Hit and to the legislative convention

word was said about either Gov. Tan

troversy was totally ignored. Home

ton to their nomination I'm their re-

votes on the Porto Rico bill. Repub-

have been sent many letters and tele-
grams by their constituents calling
them to account ana demanding I'm ex-
PLANTATION of their action.
Already candidates against Mann and
FOss are ready to take the field In an
effort to win the Republican nominal

II an asplrant for Congressman Mann's
place. In the Seventh District Hon.
Ernest q. Schubert is planning trOu-
bic for Mr.. Foss. Mr.. Schubert has
been considering the question OF being
u candidate, for some time. Under the
conditions prevailing until recently he
was not confident of defeating Mr.. FOss
ut the primaries. Now that SO many
| Republicans are incensed against FOss,
Mr.. Schubert's friends feel confident
| that he can win the nomination, and
they will urge him to make the race
against Foss. The strong feeling against
Mann and FOss aroused by their atti-
tude on the Porto Rico bill IL all the
more remarkable because IL has been
understood that they were to be re-
nominated almost II not entirely with.
out opposition. Now the chances are
that they would be- easily defeated.
Congressman Boutells case IL more
serious than that of either Mann or
F0ss. His action on the Porto Rico bill
may not only cost him his seat In Con.
gress but may also give the Democrats
the next Congressman from the Sixth
District. The district II close on a
strict party vote. Mr. BOutell was
elected by u comparatively small ma.
jOrity, and that after extraordinary
efforts In his interest had been made
No one has yet appeared against him
as II candidate for the nomination, hut
Republicans In the district are predict

within u short time. The Democrats
are jubilant over Boutelrs attitude
They are saying they hope the Repub
leans will rcn0minate him. They say
that from what they have heard OF
Republican dissatisfaction with Mr.
BOutcll he could be defeated easily by
a Democrat. So openly have these
statements been made already that
many Republicans are giving il as Their
opinion that the only way the district

The political writer on the Mime

emit cinch Capt Van SAINT has OH the
Republican nomination for governor
will make the campaign devoid of in
terest and that there will be nothing to
stir up that enthusiasm which ought
to exist. Queer how some people look
at certain things at different times.
When there is contest, they are
afraid that it is going to stir up bad
blood which will have bad effect upon
the campaign, and now comes the fear
that there won't be any interest in the
campaign because there is no contest.
The Journals political writer should
hold his fears in peace. The Republi-
cans have made up their minds to elect
Republican to the governorship next
fall, and they are likely to create all
the enthusiasm necessary during the
campaign.
