vlews Of an unpreiuaIeea citt.en.

1t is Exceedingly unfortunate that
the discussion Of question of general
public Interest should divide the citi-
zens into two hostile camps. For such
conditions make the fair and impartial
consideration of a question difficult, if
not inn ssible. The evil of feverish
excuemcut and fractional strife could
not he better illustrated than in the
present controversy in Wauwatosa over
the proposed Street Railway franchise.
The proposition submitted by the
Street Railway company should have
been considered on its merits alone
There Guild not have been word said
agafiisT Tge personal enarac.ef of Sil.
Begrs or any other man, resident Of
WauWatosa, or otherwise From u
careful and ! believe, an entirely un-
prejudced study of the whole matter
/ have wholly failed to see any evi-
dcnce whatever of anything in the
proposition or the arguments of those
who favor it, to Justify the calling Of
names or the effort to stir up excite
ment and suspicion which has resulted.
Being one of those who was at first
inclined to sign the petition hut who
withheld his name principally for the
reason that the same was worded and
advocated in a spirit OF hostility which
could not possibly lead to success,
wish at this time to protest against
this method Of considering a public
question. Had the matter been consid
cred on its merits alone, the opponents
of the franchise would have stood
much better chance Of gaining the sup
port Of those who love fair play. And
in case the franchise was refused we
would have been left in the same con
dition in which we were before. As the
matter now stands, we are certain to
be worse off than we were before. We
have cut off our Communication rate. and
what is worse, we have set men at odds
with each other who have every reason
to be the hest of friends
Much is being said in condemnation
of Mr. Beggs for cutting off commuta-
tior tickets But would we not DO the
same if we were in his shoes? No man
likes to be called liar and thief at the
beginning OF business transac-
ton and if we do 50 we must
expect a Withdrawal Of the favors al
ready granted.
Bat it is little severe for those Of
Us Tho have not yillifed Mr. Beggs to
have to suffer for those who did.
Perhaps attention should also be di-
rec.ed to the fact that there has been
no necessity whatever for any excite
ment over the franchise For under
the present law, the people could very
easily have had it submitted to vote
Il 1t had ever been put in such shape
as to meet the approval Of the council
and the mayor, and there was small
chance that il would ever meet
with such approval without serious
modification. But under present cir
cuinstances, modification, compromise
and Cancellation appear to be inpos-
sible.
1t is being urged that the only way
to ret anything out Of Mr.. Beggs is by
using club As matter Of fact ",
had already been conceded a comiauta
tion rate without club and lost il by
using a club.

WHAT ADVERTISING CAN DO.
How Two Fortunes Were Made in the
United States.

In 1889. +. T. Barnum, the great show
man, journcyed to the Pacific coast to
visit a relative. On his way back East
he stopped at Kansas City to see the
great Barnum x Bailey show that was
then exhibiting in that city. The then
press agent of the Barnum x Bailey
show, Bert Davis. introduced to Mr.. Bar
mum the editors OF the local dailies at the
formers hotel. In the course of the con
versation which naturally followed, Mr..
Barnum said: Gentlemen, Mr.. Bailey
tells me that my presence at the per-
formances of the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus is worth $4,000 a day to the show.
If this is true. it is my name that is so
valuable. 1t is known in every town,
city and hamlet: it has become house
hold word throughout the country. Now,
gentlemen, all of this was done by news
papers. and if advertising can made n

Before Peats, the wall paper man, died
some time ago, he was at the head of Il
mammoth paper concern doing business
of S15.000000 a year Yet in 1891 Peats
was running a small establishment for
the sale of wall paper to the retail trade
on Madison street, Chicago What was
the secret of his wonderful advance in
the wall paper business in comparatively
so short Il while? 1t was advertising.
\ newspaper man back in 1892 induced
him to experiment with printers ink.
The result was profitable. Peats didn t
see that he could have too much of Il
good thing. so he increased his advertis-
ing appropriation and as his profits dou-
hed he doubled his space in the news
papers and periodicals, and as his adver-
Using increased his business grew Thus

young composer was in town.

brisht-eyed and enthusiastic young lady,
who. noticing that he did not join in the
general applause. bat remained quiet.

why do you not applaud? Does it not

No, on the contrary it diSpieascs me-
1t IS the work of Il mere beginner, not TO
call him anything worse"
Then you are ignorant of music she
said
.'Oh, no. said the composer.
Then he proceeded to enlighten her on
the subject. proving the music worthless
and entirely without originality.
See said he. this ipotif is and
he hummed lightly a short melody: this
aria is stolen from Bizet and that is
from Beethoven" In short, he tore the
whole opera into pieces.

air of pity on her countenance At the
close she turned on nm and said: rs
