THE GAS FRANCHISE.

From his attitude toward the gentle
men who appeared before the council
to protest against amendment of the
Snow-Darst franchise, Councilman
Black apparently believes the public
has no rights which the council is
obliged to respect. His attitude is all
the more peculiar in that one of the
protestants is a shining light among the
patriots Of the American party, and as
such did his utmost to prevent the con-
summation Of the plan for the extension
OF the city's water supply
Black never has suffered from an ex-
cess Of the courtesy which is expected
OF a public servant, and his success in
elevating his son, Bud" TO an exalted
rank in the engineering department
seems to have gone to his head so that
now common citizen and taxpayer is
expected to kow-tow eleven times and
knock his head on the floor before he
ventures into the royal presence of
Black. OF course, in this particular
case Black was IN a hurry to get
through the amendment increasing the
price Of gas. AS a large producer of
super-heated atmosphere, the council
man very properly regards himself as
an authority on gas matters, and is
naturally impatient with the ordinary
scientists who pretend to get their in
formation from books and the expert
ence of others. Granting he has some
reason for transportation on this score,
there seems to be no excuse for his in
sulting attitude toward men who speak
for themselves as private citizens, and
have right to demand a hearing.
What Black needs is a correspondence
course in common poIiteness and a re-
alization Of the fact that he is an ordi-
nary-very ordinary-servant of the
public.
AS for the ordinance under discussion,
the protestants are right in asking that
some of the very liberal promises made
by the franchise-seekers be incorpo-
rated in the franchise itself. A bust
ness man under such conditions would
not close a contract subject to change
every time the other party to the con-
tract asked for change. nor would a
business man be satisfied with verbal
assurance that he would get more than
the contract called for. Mr.. Snow makes
definite statements as TO the amount
of money to be invested in a plant, and
the amount Of work to be done within
a specified time. Assuming that these
promises are made in good faith he
should be willing to have these specifi-
cations made a part of the franchise.
The people who have been anxious TO
see the new company carry out it's
project are quite as anxious to have the
franchise so drawn that there will be
no question about the fulfnment Of
the promises made to secure the grant.

BETTER SERVICE?
Movement Looking to improves
ment in Tri- Cities Mail
Facilities Afoot.
is AT PRESENT INADEQUATE
Government Inspector Expected to Re-
turn Favorable Report on Using
Street Railways.

Better mail service between the tri
cities is possibility of the near future
and one that will be welcomed by the
business community. For years Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport have had
to depend almost entirely upon the reg
ular mail facilities and wagons which
have been slow, infrequent and made
quate. Relief, il it comes, will be by
use of the Tri-City Railway company.
During the latter part of last week
J. NJ. Masten. assistant inspector of the
railway mail service, was here and
looked over the situation. Before de-
parting he admitted that the circum-
stances demand relief and it is believed
that his report to. this effect will influ-
ence the postal department at Wash
ington to take action.
Paid On Mileage Basis.
The proposed service will be pouch
service between postoffices. The street
car company will be paid on a mileage
basis and not on the basis of weight,
as are the railroads, and the fact that
the compensation is very little in COM
parison to the responsibility, places
the street car company in the position
of accepting the service merely for the
accommodation of the people of the
three cities.
The company now carries one mail
each way daily between this city and
Moline and all the mail between this
city and Milan, but none over the
Bridge line.

in addressing the magistrate. "A man

is cursing and all kinds of talk, and
the street car company can do nothing.

tor could use means to quiet them that

Each of the girls had young man
