have had something to 90 with tne IldI'S'' 80
it is generally accepted that "streetcar 1op
in Chr was a sort of stepladder from the Top
of which an enterprising man might swing MINI
self into exclusive circles. And now cTuel
CORPORATION has ruthlessly snatched the LADDER
from under his feet, and dropped him down 10
a level with the rest of the world. Possibly the
new rule may be welcomed by certain uhlortu-
mates who have been run over whiie fho'ofheh
were inside their cars chatting with women pas
sengers, and by others frequently carried past
their destinations because conductors were en-
gagged in discussing the opera or original CO.
tilIon figures. But. excepting for few MANNED
and disappointed individuals, great principle
is involved and unless a stand is made now
once and for alive may expect the streetcar
companies of Chicago to forbid motormen and
conductors 10 play pnochle during rush hours.
The soulless corporation that is thus tramphng
on human rights may be able, for the time be-
ing, 10 starve its employees into obeytng the let
ter of the law. but has it looked into the future?
Has it cast a caroscope. as it were-a sort or
car-aheadoscope? Evidently the company cannot
see that by prohibiting fiirtations it is cutting
it's daily receipts in two. For what, pray, does it
suppose one-half its passengers travel? Surely
not for fun not for passing idle hours No;
there is a deeper motive. The passenger knows
how valuable real culture is. and how elusive,
and is determined to improve every opportunity
for listening to words of wisdom and sparkling
wit.
1t is impossible. at present. to predict the out
come. Nothing definite is known. excepting that
Mr.. Bryan will wedge into his platform next
year a plank labelled
To Flirt, or Not to Flirt?
: DOWN WITH ARGUS EYED TYRANNY.
