oHlo,s SICK GOVERNOR.

There seems to be some hope now
that Governor Pattison, Of Ohio, will
pass through The danger which has
threatened his life. 1t would be pecu
llarly sad il he should be deprived Of
the people as their chief exec.
ptiye after having been elected to that
high ONCE. The circumstances Of his
election also add interest to the case,
he being a Democrat and Ohio being
d strong Republican State, 1t Is but
natural that the people who voted for
him should be anxious for him to be
their governor; but so far in his ad.

the honor only hoping that we may
hear from many other and all other

token Of honest government and with
due respect to any and all political
parties. Any party which Is afraid
to advocate square deal elections, op-
emily advocates an inferior article Of
government.
The writer was recently in the
sound Of the voice Of an honorable
gentleman Of distinguished jurisdic-
ton. who in the way Of giving in
structions made mention that a man
who would steal an office would steal
anything else. The writer digested
that all right and 1t tasted-well in
fact it did not taste as good as It
was really true. Al thief Is 9 thief,
that's all there is to that, until he
reforms, and Of course they all do
that
But the devil or something else just
about that time said to the writer,
.Ihow about a man who would buy an
office? The writer just wondered il g
man that would buy one would not sell

one also 1tlooks like he would have

This policy similar many respects to the Annual Dv dend Contract main difference being that the dividends are stated in advance and much larger than paid by other company, beginning with the second premium and con- duuing uniformly throughout the life of the policy.

and Union Traction stockholders were
paid only one dividend. Finally re-
ceivers were appointed. The Union
Traction and West Chicago companies
are in receivership now. This was by
no means all. Stockholders of the
West Chicago company sued the North
Chicago company. The city of Chi
cago sued the Union Traction COM
pany for S2,000,00O and finally poor
car service drove the people to elect
a mayor pledged to Immediate mu-
nicipal ownership"
This was in the face of the certainty
that corrupt politics and the spoils
system would be made worse by put
ting into politics the hundred thousand
street car employees, certain means
for machine control.
The street car service never was
good during Yerkes' reign, but has
constantly grown worse in most sec
tions of the city by the deterioration
of cars while litigation on every hand
absorbed the big companies. The
hopes of the public were raised by the
purchase last year of two-thirds con
troll of the $1S,OOO,OOO of the Chicago
City railway stock at 5000 share by
the an-Field-Armour syndicate
But the decision of the supreme court
has depressed City railway securities

tangle Of outlying electric lines. The
North Chicago was stocked heavily
and bonded literally. During the
growth of each company Yerkes had
sold part of his stock for many times
the amount of his first investment.
Then the Union Traction company
was organized with $2O,OO0,000 of COM
mon stock and $12,0OO,0 900 Of preferred
stock, and it leased the North Chi
cago and West Chicago companies
It's stock was offered to the public and
sold to the Elkins-Widener syndicate
of Philadelphia, now called the street
car trust" Charles Tyson Yerkes
pocketed $10,000,0O0 of nice hard cash
for the equities in the North and West
side companies from which he already
had made $10.000,000.
This worked so we'll he could quick
ly carry out his further plan. By
paying dividend on the first dividend
day, he so encouraged the new stock
holders that when he got together his
miscellaneous electric companies he
sold the lot, under the name of the
Consolidated Traction company, to the
same Union Traction company, and
took bonds in payment Bonds looked
good to the public and to Blair & Co.,
of New York, and Yerkes put away
for cold day $5,OOO,OOO more in cash
| and securities.
| He also sold his interests in the
