CHICAGO STREET RAILWAYS.

Ii looks as if the Chicago street rail-
way companies might be willing to
sell at tolerably reasonable prices.
1t is true that the United States SUI
preme court sustains the acts of hte
Legislature of Illinois extending the
life of the charters of the street rail-
way companies ninety nine years, but
it does not sustain the contention of
the companies that their contract
rights in the streets are coextenslve.
On the contrary, it apepars that these
contract rights are determined by or
dinance. In one case the ordinance
granting the right to use the streets
makes no provision for the purchase
of the property by the city and in that
case the contract right having expired,
the company is there merely by suf-
ferance. In the other two cases the
ordinances granting the use of the
streets provide also for the purchase
of the property and the companies are
held to have rights in the streets
pending the contamination of the pur-
chase clause The companies, how
ever, are without rights expressed in
their charters beyond the mere right
to exist and as soon as the city
wishes to buy, the two companies
whose contract rights contain the
purchase clauses must yield to the
city on the payment of a fair price
for their property. In the case of the
other company, it has no rights in the
streets which the city is bound to
regard.
This decision is quite a boost for
municipal ownership in Chicago. The
charters of the companies are no OBJ
stacle if the city wishes to buy and no
obstacle in the case of one company
if the city wishes to dispossess that
company of the possession of the
streets and the power to carry on it's
puSlhess. II lidy sui exist DIS d COR
poration, but it has nowhere to do
business. Mayor Dunno says: 1--WE
have the traction companies now in a
position where we can negotiate for
the purchase of their lines If they
do not want to sell at a fair price, we
can. u:"der this decision, forfeit their
rights OIL occupation of the streets"

THE NEMESIS OF TIMBER FRAUD.

Prosecuting attorneys who go after
statesmen and millionaires are one of
the latest and most popular types Of
American hero. Jerome in New York,
Deneen in Illinois and Folk in Mis-
souri, have many things in common,
and one of them is the sincere admir-
each one of the three to make his
stand for decency and law. Other
men had faced the duty and
weakened A prosecutor in political
position might well hesitate to fight
an all powerful machine backed by
millions. They made the fight, not
knowing the outcome, and the graft
tude and approval of an aroused peO-
pie has swept them all on toward sue
cess.

John Bozzuff, a wealthy Italian
banker, whose little son was kid

the child stealers, who demanded a
ransom. 81 won't give up a penny"
he said, land if the kidnappers think
will, serve notice on them now that
I have seven more children they can

couraged kidnappers turned the boy
loose on the street and he was recov-

drels captured and punished. This
bluff required some more than Spar

A PUGET SOUND NAME.
Puyallup and the Experience Of the
Man Removable For 1t.

Man Responsible For 1t.
The name Puyallup is Of Indian orr
gin, as old as the memory of the white
man. In Pioneer "reminiscences of
Puget Sound the author, Mr.. Meeker,
says that he accepts the odium Of in
flicting that name on suffering genera
tons by plating few blocks Of land
into village lots and recording them
under the name Puyallup. He men,
tons incidentally that he has suffered
from it.
The first time 1 went east after the
town was named and said to a friend
in New York that our town was NAM

Named what?"
"Payallup," said 1.

spouse. How do you spell it?''

Then when I crossed the Atlantic

him, and my sympathy went out to
him.
Let me introduce to you my Ameri-
can friend from"-he began boldly and
then hesitated-"my friend from Amer

me with an irnploring look and blurted |

Governor Dawson of West Virginia
made no mistake in sending the states
appeal for relief from railroad monop-

West Virginia spoke against the rate

grand old reformer Senator Elkins, is
not in favor of the people.
