the last three years will continue.

which may lessen the demand for coal

Chicago, March 14-The price Of
Chicago Union Traction common

the day from 10 to 7h. There were
no sales of West Chicago Or North
Chicago and few of Union Traction.

favorable to the street car companies
and against the city and the first
brokers who received the information
proceeded to buy stocks. West Chi
cago in few minutes rose from so to

few brokers who realized their mis-
take the price dropped to 55. Union
Traction advanced from 12A to 1914
and North Chicago from 80 to IS. The
mistake was not realized until the

SUPREME COURT TRACTION De.
ciSIoN CLEARS WAY FOR Mu-
NiCiPAL OWNERSHIP.
COMPANIES HAVE NO STREET RIGHTS
QUESTION OF MONEY FOR PUR-
CHASE OF LINES THE ONLY
PROBLEM REMAINING.

Chicago, March 14.-Mayor Dunno.
In discussing the decision of the Unit.
ed States supreme court in the Chi
cago traction cases, said:
THE decision is complete victory
for the city of Chicago. 1t means that
there are no ninety-nine-year rights in
the streets Of the city; that the occu-
pancy of the streets on the North Side
Of the city Is without any warrant
whatever in law and that the right of
the companies on the South and West
Sides to use the streets Is based upon
. provision in the ordinance which
gives them the right to occupy for a
period of twenty-five years the streets
they are now in and until their tangi.
BILE property is purchased.
THE decision has placed the city in
position where 1t can tender TO the
companies the value Of their tangible
property under the terms of the or
finance. The present companies have
the right to be paid for their property
and that Is about all the rights they
do have. The decision by one giant
stride makes 1t possible to bring about
municipalization just as soon as the
city can provide the money for the
purchase of the lines"
The mayor caa his friends believe
that the decision has greatly enhanced
the chances of the proposition to issue
scrip for $75,O00,000 to be used for the
purchase of the lines, which is to be
voted on at the election next month.

knew nothing about Christmas, but now
they all celebrate the day and do it, of
course. in the same way as the Ameri-

Christmas in New York is that in Hon

and a sunny sky smiles dreamily upon
the glOries Of a summer day. In the

TAFT CALLS THEM MURDERERS.
Secretary on Negro Soldiers Who
Killed at Brownsville, Tex.

President Roosevelt's action in dismiss
ing from the army three companies of
negro troops in the Twenty-ffth infantry,
as a penalty for the outrage at Browns
vile, Texas. is warmly defended by Sec
rotary of War Taft in his annual report.
The report, after pointing out that the
Presidents order has been severely criti-
cised because it condemns the innocent to
undeserved punishment, thus reviews the
incident:
"Out of a battalion of 10 enlisted men
in the army of the United States, from
nine to twenty men formed a preconcert-
ed plan to revenge themselves upon the
people of a town in which they were sta
toned for the insults they felt that the
townspeople had heaped upon them. In
accordance with the plan, they left the
barracks under cover of darkness-about
midnight-and proceeded to discharge
their weapons into the houses of the
town for the purpose of killing those
against whom they felt grievance.
''Tbey came near killing some one or
more of the three women and seven chill
dren who were sitting or sleeping in two
of the lighted rooms into which they fired.
They, in fact, did kill one mar, wound
another and seriously injure the chief of
police. They accompanied their firing
with expressions indicating the malice
which prompted their action. There can
be no doubt. therefore. that the squad of
men who moved together from the fort to
the town and did this shooting were
guilty of murder, and murder in the first

cling to happy myth or destroy your
boys faith in Santa Claus, and, incident
ally in a good many other things he be-
lieves in, but doesn't understand?
"Why discuss the matter at all?" is
natural question. Because it is ques-
ton that always arises at Christmas time.
An Eastern preacher is discussing it from
the pulpit and holds that deceit is sin and
that the truth and only the truth is the
best steady diet for both young and old.
The man or woman who would take
from a child his sublime faith in a Mys-
terious Being, who rewards all the good
children and skips the bad ones on his
annual tour of countless chimneys, has
shriveled heart. We want more happi-
ness not less. We need more good intlu-
ences in the lives OF our children, not
fewer. Nothing but good ever came from
the Santa Claus Myth. He is a glorious
ghost, delicious impossibility, is this
friend of the children. He teaches kind
ness, charity, goodness. He inspires and
encourages. He brightens the lives of
millions of little ones with the JOY of an
ticipation and the gladness of receiving.
He is a companion of brownies and elves
and fairies, and flowers that speak.
When we abolish Merry Old st. Nick
lets burn all the story books, the fairy
tales, and all the make-beleves that WELD
an influence for good in the lives of chill
dren. But Santa Claus is in no danger,
for if the children love him, so do the
parents. Memory of happy days of long
ago protects him. A century hence he
will be making his rounds and laughing,

NO MORE WHITE SUGAR.
New Pure Food Law VIII Knock Ont
the Highly BIeached Article.


The pure food law that goes into effect
JAN is far reaching in is provisions.
but if carried out viii without doubt
and will probably lessen in a measure
the stomach troubles so prevalent. There
will be no more white sugar offered for
sale after the new law becomes opera
tive. There will be loaf and granulat-
ed sugars as at present, but the color
will be a dull yellowish white, not very
attractive to the eye, but much more
healthful than the article known to trade
for fifty years or more as white sugar.
Washing bluing is used to impart the
snow white color and Uncle Sam has
decided that it is better for the health
of the country to put aside the washing
bluing and get back TO first principles.
Timed vegetables, notably tomatoes,
green peas, and some kinds of string
beans will not have the appearance of
having been so freshly picked as for
merly, but the coloripg will be natural.
No effects in coloring Will be permitted,
except that provided by nature. Mar
malades and preserves, that tempt the
eye before the palate, will not be quite
so attractive, and if there is slight
scum on the jar, skim it of and say
nothing. 1t is simply proof that pre-
servatives have not been used.
Mustard, which generations of the
people have come to regard as yellow
never having seen any that was not
adulterated-will be gray and butter
will be nearly white.
Timed meats will probably lose their
popularity, for it is expected the prices
will be about doubled. Some of the So
called timed meats and game offered are
made of a combination OF corn meal and
condiments that look inviting, but have
very little food value. They are put up
at small cost, have a delicious flavor, but
they are not meats and game, and it is
not expected housekeepers will buy tin
ned cornmeal when they know just what
it is as told by the label on the can.
The new law makes no reference to
eggs and the cold storage brand can be
disposed of as the integrity of the dealer
decides Refrigerated meats and bread
stuffs are not mentioned in the law
After Jan. l all goods shipped from
factories will go out with guarantee
that they are as represented; that there
is no false labelling. The penalty for
violating law is not more than one year
in federal prison or $500 fine or both.
and for a second offense the penalty is
doubled.
