DON'T FOR0ET THE CITY CLERKS
OFFICE.

Ii would seem after all that the
Grand Jury Is determined to find out
whether or not the average city father
would steal red hot stove II given an
opportunity. Indeed, the exact nature
of the inquiry the Grand Jury II now
engaged In Is as to whether some Of the
Aldermen have not actually stolen
something even less portable than the
u. II. -. namely, II whole alleyway.
While the Grand Jury Is engaged In
this inquiry 1t should not overlook the
City Clerks office. The department Of
our municipal government which II
presided over by the well-knOwn "Wab'
bling Willie" Is the one intrusted with
the compilation and the custody of the
city records. and 1t IL said In cOnnec'

All this should be looked into careful

are being kept generally, Luke Coyne's

PLAYING THE OLD GAME A0AiN.

Mayor Harrison has gone back to the
old game of delay and procrastinatlon
in regard 10 the settlement OF the trac-
ton question. The monkey business
about Municipal Ownership" carried
on election day has given his honor the
opportunity he sought 10 get back To
his old position and his own policy,
For time IL was believed that the
Council ana the Committee on Trans
portatIon had forced the Mayors hand.
HonOre Palmer's resolution liking April
II as the limit for closing all deals
with the traction companies appeared
to have clinched the matter. But now
Ii appears the chief executive has got
another chance to parley ana pause,
We are informed by Thursday morn
ing's Tribune that:
AS a result Of the heavy vote In ia
yOr Of municipal ownership the Mayor
asserts that he will veto any franchise
extension ordinance passed before the
State Legislature passes municipal
ownership legislation for Chicago. The
Legislature will not assemble until next
winter. The Council, however has
gone on record demanding that the
traction companies present propositions
for new franchises by April II.
The Mayor insists that he will not
give in. The Local Transportation
Committee OF the Council, which is
changed but slightly by the election
Of Tuesday, will proceed on the baSi,

General Taft says there are from
100000 to 100000 human beings held In
slavery In the Philippines. An Uncle
Tom Cabins company ought to draw
well there. The Governor says the
worst Of 1t Is that the slaves them
selves IRE opposed to enfranchisement.
1t must he confessed that the Injuries
received In railway work In this coun.
Try, relatively to the army Of train
men employed, are far more numerous
than they ought to be. There Is EVIL
dence In the bare figures Of much gross.
carclessness. and 1t Is painfully appar-
cnt that the managers OF great rail-
ways are often too intent upon earn
Ings ana too little mindful of the lives
ami limbs of the men who operate their
lines. In this direction there Is room
for vast Improvement, and the pro-
gress made recently has been mlsera-
bly, slow.
Since. by their own account. all the
European governments are the fervent
friends OF the United States, we shall
probably never find better time than
this to inquire IL this country has en-
emles also. and II SO. what share of
blame rests upon us for having them.

Professor GOodspeed, of Chicago Uni.
versity, writes to the Independent of a
small, clearly legible slip among some
Greek papyri which have lately come
into his hands. 1t Is Il boat ticket from
ancient Egypt, emitting the holder to
ride upon the canal that passed through
Karnis, the modern K6Om Ushfm, in
the Faynm. The ticket gives the pas
senger's name, the place from which
he sailed, and what Is supposed to be
the captains acknowledgment that the
fare was paid. The traveller was PtO-
lemaeus son of PanOmieus: and IsidO-
rus, son of Isidorus, was the pilot. The
last line of the document Is even full"
the "even" being interpreted to mean
that the passenger had settled the
charges, and the full" that the ticket
holder is going as far as the boat route
extends. We mOderns would say
Through" instead of ".ull." The ticket
| Is assigned to the second century. The
papyrus measures two and a quarter
inches by three and half inches, and
has been folded. or perhaps rOtted and
crushed, four times. 1t Is too late ia
wish PtOlemaeus a good voyage, or to
congratulate Isidorus on his record as
a faithful pilot; but the survival OF
their names has pathetic interest, and
il a reminder that time has an unex'
pected way Of sparing what might rea'
sonably be supposed doomed to 'destruc'
| tiOn or to oblivion.
