SPEED OF Street CARS.

Edward Troy filed a communication
in which he states that Kansas City
has an ordinance limiting the speed Of
street cars to twelve miles an hour.
Regarding the suggestion of Attorney
Tirey L. Ford that Los Angeles and
Minneapolis would be good examples
to follow in not limiting the speed OF
street cars Troy says:
The Coroner of Los Angeles writes
me that thirty-three persons died in
that city last year through street car
accidents, or at the rate of one in
every $500 OF the population. In San
Francisco the rate was, during 1908,
one in every 10000 of our population.
In New York the rate was about one
in 10000 of the population.
AS to Minneapolis, 1 have no doubt
that Doc Ames, the former Mayor of
that city, before going to the peniten-
tiary, delivered the streets to the rail-
way corporations as completely as he
turned the town over to the criminals" I"

how the japanese feel toward Americans We
would recommend reading of the extracts

know the facts this is not necessary. The

unjust critics of every nationality and every

of the newspaper referred to would make them
we should not be witnesses of the honor
and righteousness manifested in all their dip

We regard the charge against the Japanese
Government Of systematically planning to del

the contrary It has exercised and does ex-
