More Politeness Won't Hurt.
| the Editor of The Innrnal.

TO the Editor OF The journal:
Streetcar motormen dictate to Min
neapolis business men on which side Of
the street they shall leave their car,
hold them prisoners while the car creeps
at a snail's pace across congested
streets and refuse them entrance to d
car except at a precise spot.
Streetcar conductors talk to a
crowded car Of passengers in the same
tones and in much the same language
as cattle drivers talk to a carload Of
cattle.
How long will the twin city public
stand such impositions Take off the
gates!
Insist on courteous and gentlemanly
language and conduct from conductorst
While reforms are in the air, let's re-.
form the streetcar service!

Eddy's Recipe for Harmony.

Frank M Eddy wants to see the
leaders Of the republican party in Min
nesota get together in advance Of the
state convention and select a man to
run for governor, SO as to avoid a con-
test for the nomination. Splendid idea,
but who are the leaders, and who is
to say how many and what ones shall
be admitted to such conferenceq I'm
less selected by the rank and file Of the
party, how can self-constitutcd leaders
claim to represent republicans gener-
ally and make choice for them9
It would be fine thing for the har-
mony and success Of the republican
party if such gathering could be
held and a choice made that would
appeal to the voters generally, one that
would be ratified at the convention and
at the polls. Practically, tho, the plan
presents some tremendous difficulties.
When it came to the point where men
would have to. decide whether or not
they were leaders. and had right to-
90 into such gathering, some of the best
men would be overcome with modesty
and the counterfeits would be much in
evidence. The problem is a good deal
like that which confronted the mice
when they wanted to bell the cat. The
idea had to be given up because no one
would put the bell on.
When it comes to selecting leaders,
the line has to be drawn somewhere.
Shall we include members of the state
committee, chairrhen Of county commit
tees and members of the legislature
and stop there, or shall we 20 farther

The accompanying data, taken from
the report Of the bureau Of commerce
and labor on street and electric rail
ways for 1902, may. assist in answer
ing these questions correctly.
&. The table includes the local system
and six others, chosen because Of their
physical similarity to the local one,
all being electrically operated surface
systems. The local system is the only
one employing gates, however.
The table establishes these facts:
First-That 33 per cent of those
killed on the local cars are either pas
sengers or employees.
That 22E per cent of those killed
on the other cars are either passengers
or employees.
If the gates offered any protection
against fatalities, the percentage of
such fatalities should be less here than
elsewhere.

passengers or employees.

A Sample Gate Accident.

To the Editor of The Journal:
Yes, by all means let's discard tho
gates. Will give you one reason why
a young. girl, perhaps II years Of
age, waiting for car, there was
crowd of people behind her, when the
car stopped, just opposite her. She was
quite close, the crowd behind prevented
her stepping back, and she was struck
in the face by the gate, as it swung
open, cutting her upper lip entirely thru.

To the Editor of The Journal:
A number Of the critics Of your po-
sition on the streetcar-gate question
argue that the gate lis very effcacious
in preventing accidents. would like
to ask Of these if the front end Of the
car is not the most dangerous end, and
does the safety gate prevent any but
minor accidents, such as falls, with at
tendantr bruises and occasional frac-
tures9 Is not all Of the killing and
