From the Wilkes.Barre Record.


Because the people OF Scranton sympathized
with the employees of the Traction company in
their late strike, and refused to ride on cars
manned by imported crews, the coinpany's off,
cias have resolved to punish the community.
The general manager has publicly announced
that the people of Scranton having made the
cess of the strikers possible they will now have
the pleasure OF paying the increased wages. One
of the methods resorted to by the general man
ager to get even" with the people OF Scran-
ton is to abolish the system Of transfers. Hereto
fore passengers could travel between anv two
points within the city limits for a single fare Of
cents. An order has been issued, to take effect
next Tuesday, compelling passengers to pay
full fare on each division OF the system. II ever
corporation adopted an Improbable policy in
order to be rcvenged on the people upon whom
1t is dependent for prosperity and dividends, this
Scranton company certainly has committed such
a uIunder.
The company will not be long discovering the
full magnitude of its short.sighted policy OF re-
venge. Unless the municipal government OF
Scranton is hopelessly debauched, or to the last
degree mbecle, the Traction company will be
speedily brought to its senses. The people Of
Scranton did exactly what might be expected
OF any selt'respecting community when they
refused to ride on cars manned by strangers
brought there for the purpose OF permanently
displaclng worthy employees, most OF whom had
been residents Of the city for many years. The
managers of the Scranton Traction company Is
adopting the present "spite policy" are mani.
testing the absence Of common sense that
characterized them when they brought gangs OF
so.caled professional "strike-breakers'' from New
York and other cities and expected the people
of Scranton to support the company in such
proceedings.
We venture the prediction that the managers
will speedily discover that instead Of ''gctting
even" with the people Of Scranton the latter
will find means Of "gettng even'' with the
company. Ii the people Of any city should choose
to assert their power they could so thoroughly
boycott traction company as to throw it into
bankruptcy in less than six months. We think
We know Just about what the people OF Wilkes.
Barre and adjacent towns would do II confront.
ed by the conditions mat have been forced upon
Scranton by the local traction company.

q oKoTo, later an important Fulah Kingdom,
in Central Soudan. was little known until
~ now, the country being divided among a
number Of small chiefs, a prey to the pow
erful kings Of Boinu, Kebbi and Songwai. The
fulas, then little regarded and semiseris In posi-.
ton, were scattered all over the country appar'
emily without any national pride to unite them
to common action, Othamndan Fodio appeared, as
their delivercr. With the watchword OF Islam
he gave q new life to his tribesmen, and In An
incredibly short time transformed them from
peaceful nomads into soldiers Of the crescent.

The perpetual motion crank was in evidence at
the dawn OF Nineteenth century. Magnetism

black substance which intercepted magnetic
attraction and rcpulsion, and he produced two
machines which We're moved as he asserted, by
the agency OF permanent magnets thanks to the
black substance. The fraud was speedily exposed,
and another page Of the chapter OF the book ci

q DNOCATES of ballot reform
~ are again pressing upon
4 n public attention with great
energy and some success
the urgent need of additional legisla-
tion to safeguard the purity of the
ballot. A recent circular distributed
by the Union Committee for the Pro-
motion of Ballot Reform and the Merit
System in Pennsylvania says:
The struggle for ballot reform in
Pennsylvania achieved but IA partial
success i'm the enactment of the ballot
law In 1891, and again in the enact
ment. of the law of 1898 The victory Is
far fran complete, The legislature
granted the people small part of
their demand, by no means the whole.
The ballot is not yet wholly secret: !:
nor Is its form such as to enable voters
to express their choice of candidates
without risk of mistake, or to give
each candidate a fair chance of re-
ceiving all the votes which should
properly come TO him without regard
to the party or policy he represents.
Among the many requisites of hon
est elections, three things are funda-
mental: 1. Absolute secrecy OF the
ballot in every case. 2. A ballot
which voters can use without risk of
mistake. .. A ballot by which can
didates of all parties have an equal
chance to receive the votes Of their
supporters. 1t is precisely in these
fundamental particulars that the pres
ent ballot law Of Pennsylvania falls
short of what the people have demand
ed Of the legislature for the past ten
years.
Under cover of the very loose word.
ing of Section 26. which allows voters
under certain circumstances. to be
helped in marking their ballots. Il
has often happened that men perfectly
able to mark their own ballots have
been allowed or even required to TAX,
political workers into the eomuart.

Should Work Both WAYS.
HE ENCUSE offered by Cen

half of the Scranton Rail-

y
eral Manager Silliman in be-
l. half of the Scranton Rail-
way company for threaten
Ing to increase the public charge for
rides on its cars by the abolition Of
the transfer privilege contrary to the
letter and spirit of its agreements with
the city is in substance that the com.
p8ny is hard up. that it's expenses have
been increased by the strike and that it
needs more revenue.
1t is a poor rule which will not work
both ways. If the Scranton Railway
company is hard up so is the city of
Scranton. II the traction company's
expenses are increasing so are thu
city's. If one needs more revenue so
does the other. With equal, nay, with
far better grace may the city proceed
to levy a per cent tax on traction
company gross receipts to help it meet
the new expenses of it's coming en-
trance into the second class of cities.
We say with better grace because,
while the traction company has not
always dealt generously with the city
but on the contrary has corrupted
many of its former councilmen. bum
coed it repeatedly in details of legisla-
ton and grossly shamed it by the
measly quality of it's service, the city
on the other hand has been most pa
tient, tolerant and liberal. The city
has permitted the outside financiers in
charge of the Scranton Railway COM
pany to gobble up 100000 worth of
years that the people have been put to
Inconvenience by the unsatisfactory
nature of the traction service the city,
with the exception of a nominal pole
tax, has refrained from levying a dollar
of taxation. The Clarks are reputed to
manipulation of this property, but the
city of Scranton has not made penny
out of 1t.
The time for meekness under a pro-
cess OF plucking morally equivalent to
highway robbery has ceased. If there
is virtue in aroused public opinion the
beginning of the new century will have
marked the beginning of a change in
the communitys attitude toward this
public service corporation. The very
least that councils should do tonight
is to pass an ordinance imposing a 3
per cent. tax on its gross receipts. This
has been strangled In the past and the
penitentiary yawns for those who did
it.
