WHERE WE ARE

One week of publicity and careful
and conscientious discussion through
the columns of The Globe has
cleared, up the whole subject of the re-
lations between the street railway COM
pany and the city of ST. Paul We know
now exactly where we are. We have
that we should have had if the So
called compromise agreement had been
as it ought to have been. No harm
has been done, however, if the city au-
thorities are prepared to. do their duty.
as we are convinced that they are.
Let us endeavor to state the case as
plainly as possible, SO that the poorest
understanding or the mind most con-
fused by superfluous details cannot fail
to see the points at issue. Exactly
what are the grounds on which this
agreement was recommended to a
ny
The street railway company made
proposition some months ago which
was rejected by the council committee
on the advice Of the city attorney. 1t
contained the offer of practically all
the additions and extensions included
in the agreement accepted last week
These may, therefore, be dropped out
The main points of difference between
the rejected proposition and that ac-
cepted are two.
1. The alleged revocation of the
company's rowing license" to go upon
all streets at pleasure.
2. The consent to pay a gross earn
ings tax Of 6 per cent, this sum to in
clude the general taxes now paid by the
company to the city.
For all purposes of comparison these
two conditions are sufficient. They rep
resent the essential difference between
what the city attorney turned down
and what he strongly advised the men,
bers of the council to accept. They are
both of them worthless. The street
railway company made better bar
gain by waiting.
The relinquishment of the "roving
license is. a subterfuge. Under the
franchises already held by the COM
pany, as interpreted by Judge Loch-
rem, it has right to enter upon any
street in the city at pleasure and build
line there, with the exception of a
small number of streets specially ex-
empted. Under the agreement reached
1t merely valves its right so far as to
consent to file notice with the city
council of intent to occupy any street
before building. The council can with
hold consent IL it pleases. But 1t Is
further specified that I'm case the coun-
ell grants franchise to any other
company whatever, then this condition
is nullifled; and the st. Paul street
railway company can without consent
or any other preliminary, proceed to
occupy any of these streets and shut
out competition.
1t will be perceived that this alleged
Limitation OF its privileges does not
really limit them at all. To make its
franchise exclusive is the main object
of the street railway company. 1t ac-
complishes this by securing the definite
and stated right to go without any
body's consent upon any street, in case
st. PauI should ever reach the pitch Of
courage required to introduce competi-

WASHINGTON, March 10.-A gen.

was determined upon by the president
and his cabinet today. 1t was an
nounced that for the present at least
the uniform policy would be to retain
incumbents in office during satisfac-
tory service. This policy will hold en-
tirely irrespective of length of service
of the incumbent.
Secretary Taft said it also had been
determined rot to appoint as bTigadier
generals on the active list of the army
officers who had served forty years,
Including service In the civil war.
These officers are eligible now to re-
tirement as brigadier generals. and it
is not the purpose to make them briga-
dier generals on the active list. This
will open the way for the appointment
as brigadier generals many younger Of
ficers than heretofore have held that
grade.

Sad Tale of Nexa Moore

Once upon a midnight dreary

While pondered weak and weary

Suddenly there came a tapping.
Certainly that can't be newt?
AS if some one gently rappng

Quickly threw 1 back the portal.
(ThatS the door, / S'pose YOU know
And there stood coal black mortal
With an apron white as snow
WHO art thou?' 1 thundered boldly.
Who thus haunts my chamber door?'
And she merely answered, coldly:
If you please, I'm Neva Moore.'
''Neva Moore! Now, are you joshin' ?"
But she merely shook her head;
L for months have done your washin'
And I'd like some pay she said.
In a week, told the stranger.

And although l scented danger,
Hoped the promise would suffice
True. you somewhat disconcert me,
To remind me of this debit
But you willTnot now desert me?
You will do my washing yet?'
Open wide 1 threw the easement
As l heard her slam the door;
And shrill voice from the basement
Merely answered: 'Neva Moore,"
