Not only automobilists are afflicted with the

railway in which more than score of Americans
were killed, is said to be due TO the efforts to

And they did, record in death. The Saratoga

THOSE TROLLEY RESOLUTIONS.


GERTAIN features in two trolley resolutions,
- scheduled to come before the Directors Of
the Street and Sewer Department seem to have
escaped public notice. The passage of these reso-
lutions in their present form will not benefit the
public at large They are both essentially bad
The FIRST has Tor its ostensible object the put
ting an end TO excessive and unnecessary noise
Of trolley cars. and ono might suppose that one
OF the companies was TO be given the opportun-
ity OF expending a part of that 100000 in the
i'm provement Of its rolling stock. No such good
news however. The companies have little TO
lear from This resolution, for it would be quite
difficult to determine just what is unnecessary
noise Moreover, according to the resolution,
there is no offence committed until the Street
Commissioner shall find that its provisions have
been violated, and the person shall have failed
ITO comply with the order Of the Street Com
missioner relating thereto The ,.,sole matter.
therefore lies within the discretion of the Com
missioner; for il he should find" in favor of the
company, then there is an end to the complaint.
We suspect that the main purpose of this reso-
luton is to divert attention from the second, and
more obnoxious resolution, which is class egis-
lation OF the most virulent type. In it we have
an attempt to hamper the business OF certain coal
dealers by imposing upon them the necessity Of
buying bags. baskets, or side chute wagons, in
which to deliver their coal This naturally sug-
gcsts-is that part of the resolution being backed
by any concern that has bags, baskets, or side
chute wagons for sale?
But the larger part of the resolution is directed
against the interfering with cars moving along
the streets. Indeed it looks very much like the
handiwork of some OF our foreign owned cor
porations. They don't want their cars obstruct-
ed. Stating it differently. they would like to have
right OF way, or a paramount right as it is
termed, TO the use of the public highways 1t is
not easy 20 say how the word "obstruct' would
be interpreted. should occasion arise as it is a
word susceptible of many meanings-ior in
stance, TO hinder, TO check, to retard, etc. No
wonder our franchise grabbers want it made un-
lawful for any one with vehicle or otherwise,
TO obstruct or hinder their cars Such law as
that, il valid would be a valuable concession to
the companies, but could hardly be said to be of
any advantage to the rest OF us who have just as
much right to the streets as the trolley COM
panies have. We feel sure that there is no gen
era demand on the part of the public for the pas
sage Of the resolutions in this present very OBJ
iectonable FORM

The purchase Of the Gentry Brothers.
Dog and Pony shows by the Minneapo-
lis capitalist is the result of unusual
conditions. The negotiations were
opened and carried to completion by
MI. Speer, Minneapolis show man of
They were made possible by long and
close friendship, which existed between
Mr.. Speer and the four Gentry Broth
| ers.
When the shows went into winter
quarters this fall after most success
fnl season. the Gentrys decided that if
they could transfer their interests to
from the show world. This decision
| was largely due to the ill health of two
| OF the brothers. They notified Mr..
Speerr and he was given an option on
! the shows under the condition, however,
! that the sale be made to someone whose
| standing would guarantee the mainten-
ance of the high standard for which
| the dog and pony shows have always
| stood. Mr.. .Speer interested Mr.. Say
age, and after considerable delibera-
tlon and delay, the details of the sale
were arranged and the bargain closed.

endeavor in every way to keep up the
standard of the shows, and to improve
them 31 !, IN accordance with Mr.. Savage g
thru my long friendship with the Gen
try Brothers and partly thru their re-
spect for the new proprietor of the
| shows, we will have the entire good
| will of the late owners, and one or two
OF the Gentrys will be actively con-
nected with the management Of the
shows at least during next season. We
appreciate the place occupied bv the
Gentry Brothers shows in the affections

know that next to the coming of Santa

trained dogs and ponies and elephants
OF this tented entertainment is looked
forward to with keenest interest and

constant endeavor will be to continue

show is held, and make it's coming an
