The outburst of Indignation over the
Philadelphia franchise steal seems to be
having some effect The benefiCiaTies of
the grab are evidently getting scared Al
though one of the prime objects of the
scheme was to head off the Johnson prop

that the holders of these franchises are
promising such fares. This. however, is
only q conditional PROMISE The fares
viii be reduced. provided it is found pos
sible to pay dividends upon that basis
If there is any doubt upon that point
these people might settle the whole mat

ceDting the -miIlion-dolIar offer for
the franchises 1t is probable that the
talk Of three-cent fares is only intended
to aiIay popular Indignation.

The cases Of Kennedy and MoIiueux in
New York are good illustrations of what
is popularity known as the laws delay
1t Is not known that any special efforts to
delay the proceedings haveTbeen made in
either case Still the fact is that with
only one trial in the lower court the MoIi-
neux case has been pending more than
two years. while that Of Kennedy has
been upon the court docket for more than
three years And now after repeated mis-
trials Kennedy has been released on bail.
which probably means that the prosecu-
ton will be dropped. Bail is seldom ac-
cepted in capital cases unless the chances
Of securing a conviction are considered
to be very slender. When it is taken, 1t
is usually done to avoid the formal dis
I.lissal Of the case.
