At a recent meeting of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry at At
lantic City, some 5000 people 7igor
Ously applauded Master Aaron Jones,
as ne condemned the reckless use of
automobiles on country roads, and de-
manded legislation to curb drivers of
high speed cars. What is more to the
point, Master Jones and the 5000 far
mers were wholly right in their prem
ises and we'll grounded in their princi-
pies.
Farmers are absolutely necessary,
automobiles are not. Farmers must
use the roads, automobilists are well
come to use them If they do so with
discretion, which many of them do
not. Farmers work for their own lives
and for the lives of all others; automo-
bilists drive for their pleasure only.
Farmers must use the roads to carry
iheir produce to market. Without
them the cities could not exist; but
automobilists are mainly residents of
the cities, and they drive-some of
them-without the slightest regard for
the rights of the farmer upon whom
they are dependent for every mouth
full of food they eat.
'In some sections of the country, &"
said Master Jones, travel on country
roads has been reduced to the driving
absolutely necessary for carrying on
of business, while driving for pleasure
has been entirely cut out for fear of ac-
is-sss. tents" A statement literally and
outrageously true. Yet the farmers,
with few exceptions, ask for nothing
In these premises but what is properly
due to them and to all others who use
the public highways, They ask that
She use of highways by automobiles be
regulated by wise laws, properly en-.
Borced, with penalties heavy enough to
be an effectual warning against VIC
lations. They ask that uniform laws
be enacted in all the states, with Wig.
erous policy of enforcement, to the
end that the farmers may retain thu
privilege of using the roads, and tina
the lives of the people may not b,
sacrificed for the pleasure of the few

ETIQUETTE AMONG PEERS.
Rules Laid Down to Preserve the
Dignity of Their Chamber.


Besides insisting upon all due respect
to themselves the peers suffer no dis
respect to the stately gilded chamber
in which they are accustomed to assem-
BILE Even when parliament is not in
session none but members are allowed
to be covered there. Not even the eldest
son Of any peer may wear his hat in
the room Neither is any person to
stay there, nor any attendant on any
nobleman but while he brings in his
lord, and then he is to retire himself"
In 1703 official notice was taken OF
the fact that of late the doorkeepers
have frequently presumed to come
within the doors when the house is sit
ting. and it was therefore ordered that
for the future this liberty be forbid
den Another point in which the peers
are scrupulOus to preserve their dig
nifty is revealed in the standing order
with reference to conferences between
the two houses.
1t sets forth that 1.-The place of our
meeting with the lower house upon
conference is usually the painted cham
Der, where they are commonly before
we come and expect our leisure. We
are to come thither in a whole body
and not some lords scattering before
the rest, which both takes from the
gravity of the lords and besides may
hinder the lords from taking their
proper places. We are to sit there
and be covered, but they are not at
any committee or conference either to
be covered or sit down in our presence
unless it be some infirm person and
that by connivance in corner out of
sight, to sit, but not to be covered"
Although never rescinded, this regu'
latiOn is now practically obsolete

HOLDS COMPANY NEED
NOT GIVE TRANSFERS
Judge Grosscup Places Corporation
Under Protection of Federal Court

CHICAGO, April 24.-Judge Gross
cup of the United States circuit court
today placed the Chicago City railway
company under the protection of the
federal court. He held that the city
cannot force the issuance of transfer
slips on the two short lines of this
railway company operated by the Chi
cago Union Traction company; also that
the ninety y-nine year act is valid, that
the railway company is operating un-
der the state law and that the city or
dinances, so far as they refer to the
railway company carrying passengers
without the payment of a cash fare or
giving transfers. is Illegal and void.
Corporation Counsel Tolman, for the
city, said:
This applies only to that portion of
the company'S lines on State and Clark
streets, north of Twenty-second street.
L do not believe that. it will preclude
us from getting a decision from the
state courts on the ninety-nine year
act"
Attorneys for the traction companies
took extreme grounds and said that
when the federal court passed on the.
acts extending ordinance rights this
would oust the state courts and
prevent eXMeyor Harrison's ninety
nine year act suit being heard for
years. They admitted Judge Gross
cups decision would be pleaded in the
suit before Judge Mack Of the state
courts as a bar to further proceedings

TOM JOHNSON WINS
City of Cleveland May Own
Street Railways

CLEVELAND, o., April "a. - Judge
Taylor in the United States district
court today handed down an opinion 10
the injunction suit brought by the ex-
isting street railway corporation to pre-
vent the Forest City railway company,
new concern, in which Mayor John
son is credited with being interested,
from taking possession of the Central
avenue line, the franchise for which it
was alleged had expired. The plaintiff
contended that its franchise was prac-
tically perpetual The court ruled that
the franchise had already expired. The
temporary injunction asked for to pre-
vent the new company from taking
possession was therefore denied. May
or Johnson looks upon the decision as
a big victory in his fight against the
street railway company for a cent
fare. The Forest City company agreed
TO carry passengers for cents.
After Judge Taylor had rendered his
decision an open meeting in the city
hail was held between Mayor Johnson
and other city officials and representa-
tives of the Cleveland Electric railway
company. The mayor made the propo-
sition that in order to settle the long

over its system to an operating COM
pany which could at any time sell the
property to the city direct. The COM
pany was to be given twenty-five
year security franchise on all lines to
protect its interests. This plan, ii was
claimed, would give all the benefits of
municipal ownership without such a
condition actually existing. President
Andrews of the street railway company
surprised the mayor by saying that he
was perfectly willing to consider the
proposition and was ready to confer
with the proper persons concerning
terms Mayor Johnson set next Mon

CHICAGO INSISTS UPON
ENTERING GAS BUSINESS
Citizens Protest Against Legislature
Sidetracking Enabling Acts

CHICAGO. April 24.-Agitation to es-
tablish municipal ownership of gas
works as well as street railways in
Chicago was inaugurated in earnest to-
Gay by public meeting in the city
council chamber. Mayor Dunno and
members of the Legislature met the fif-
ty citizens whom the mayor appointed
as committee to go to Springfield to
protest against the sidetracking of the
Chicago gas bills. If these bills are
passed the city will be enabled to fix
the maximum price of gas charged to
the consumer and be empowered to own
and operate gas plants, as it hopes to
own and operate street car properties.
Mayor Dunno said:
The city cannot get control of the
gas plants now i'm existence unless.
like any other purchaser, il buys them,
for the reason that there are no expir-
ing gas franchises. Those franchises
are perpetual But under an enabling
act we can establish plants in compe-
ution with the gas company"
