A Canadian Object Lesson.
(Baltimors News)


In 1903 the street railway system of
Toronto. Canada. was capitalized at
only $6,O0O,OOO stock and 100000
bonds, altho the company was operat-
ing eighty eight miles Of railway in
the city limits. BY the terms Of its
contract with the city the company
sells ten tickets for % cents to scheel
children. For use during morning and
evening hours, when people are going
to their work or coming home from
it, tickets are sold at the rate Of for
Is cents. Tickets good at all times are
sold at the rate Of six for rs cents, sor
twenty-five for 81. At Che same time
the company pays the city $500 arlnu-
ally for each mile of single track and
also a percentage Of gross receipts on
a sliding scale, starting at per cent
aand risinb to 20 per cent on all re-
ceipts over $3,Oo00oO a year. More
over. the company is bound to lay rails
on such streets and run cars in such
number as the city authorities may d.
rect. And yet the company's stock
and bonds are gilt edged securities,
making regular returns to their hold

WAR BEGAN OV[RAU[E
Present Difficulty in Central
America Started Over Theft
of Beast
NO DECISIVE BATTLE FOUGHT
Nicaragua and Honduras Alone in the
Field and Zelaya Expects to Come
Out Victor - Nicarasuan President
Uses Automobile to Keep in Touch
With His Army.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March 10.
Via New Orleans, March 16.-ln spite
OF the claims made by commanding Of
fcers on each side that the "enemy
has been vanquished in an important
battle" the fighting between Honduras
and Nicaragua, has, up to the presen'
time, been confined to small engage
ments between scouting parties on one
or the other side Of the frontier.
Each side has made claims Of VIC
tories not warranted by the facts, and
each has called the reports sent out by
the other false and misleading. But
while there has been no battle as yet,
all the conditions are ripe for serious
engagement.
The actual situation of armed hos
tility between Honduras and Nicara-
qua, from the Honduras side, Is briefly
as follows:
The main Honduran force is at Cho-
leteca, Texiguat, Guimepo and Yus-
caran. These four towns are in prac-
tically straight line and about twenty
miles from the frontier. President
Bonilla Is waiting for further rein
forcements from Tegucigalpa and for
arms from the United States. He would
like also to have the first serious en-
gagement on Honduran territory in or
der to he able to demand that Calva-
dor make good her promise to help him
in case OF war.
Honduras has armed already between
10000 and $4,000 men and $4,000 more
are being equipped at the capital. The
president Is in close touch with his capa
itol by automobile. There is a splendid
macadamized road from Tegucigalpa to
the Pacific coast, which passes within
a six hour horseback ride Of the Hon
duran headquarters at Choluteca.
Choluteca has water communication
with the port Of Amapala which makes
the transportation of artillery and sup
plies comparatively easy.
1t would appear that the Nicaraguan
forces have concentrated at Somoto,
Santa Maria and Ocotal The first
actual difficulty took place at Las
Manos, a little village, the main street
of which marks the frontier line be-
tween Honduras and Nicaragua. The
Nicaraguans, who were encamped in
their side Of the village, crossed the
line one night and stole Honduran
mule and retired with their capture
without firing IL shot.
This incident was followed by Dip
lomatic correspondence, in which the
Nicaraguans were stigmatized as Cat
tile filters" This was resented with
counter charges, and shortly after
there was town meeting at Amapala,
Honduras, in which President Zelaya,
of Nicaragua was accused Of violat-
ing his promises and fomenting strife.
Nicaragua then demanded that Hon
duras punish the municipality of
Amapala, but this Honduras refused
on the ground that the Hondurian peo-
pie were guaranteed the right Of pub
lie speech and meeting. President
Bonilla offered to submit the Las
Manos incident and all other pending
questions to arbitration, but this MIC
aragua refused and shortly after both
countries began seriously to prepare
for war.

stairs. But ut each step his. conf
dence strengthened, his feet became
more firm until, at the head Of the
stairs, as IL to disprove his assurance,
his pulses played him false once more,
this time to more serious tune. From
the farther end Of we'll lighted cor
ridor a maid was coming straight in
his direction.
For one short second all things
seemed to whiz about him; the GER
tainty of detection overpowered bis

that he was John Loder and no other,
despite all armor Of effrontery and
dress, so dominated him that all other
considerations shrank before it. II
wanted hut one word, one simple word
Of denunciation, and the whole scheme
was shattered In the dismay Of the
moment he almost wished that the
word might be spoken and the sus-
pense ended.
But the maid came on in silence, and
go Incredible was the silence that
Loder moved onward too. He came
within yard Of her, and still she did
not speak. Then, as he passed her,
she drew back respectfully against
the wall. 5S
The strain, so astonishingly short,
had been immense, but with its slack
ening came strong reaction. The ex-
pected humiliation seethed suddenly
to a desire to dare fate. Pausing
quickly, he turned and called the wo-
man back.

TAFT 10 OPEN CAMPAIGN.
Will Sound Keynote Of Republican
Campaiun in New York.

Washington, March To- Secretary Of
War Taft will sound the keynote for
the first republican campaign in the
new state of Oklahoma, and, in his
speech he is expected to define his po-
sition on the presidential nomination
next year.
The first election in the new state, to
ratify the constitution and elect state
officials, will tie held in August, and
the republican state convention will
probably be held during the latter part
of May or early in June Mr.. Taft has
engagements to speak in Iowa and
Minnesota on June IL and 13.
has been in Washington for some time,
left for home Wednesday night, and it
is understood he will get busy at once
in erecting the necessary arrange
ments.
The political importance Of a speech
by Mr.. Taft as the keynote for the re-
PUBLICAN campaign in Oklahoma is not
to be underestimated. It will have the
direct bearing on the republican presi-
DENTAL politics for it will be generally
regarded as in a certain measure the
keynote Of Secretary Taft's candidacy
for the presidency.
It is well within the range of possi-
bilities, also. that Secretary Taft's
presence at the first republican state
convention in Oklahoma would lead to
some action by the convention virtu-
ally, If not unequivocally, indorsing
him for the presidential nomination.
A strong Taft sentiment is said to
exist in Oklahoma, and it has been re-
ported that only the definite assurance
that the secretary will be in the pres
idential lists is needed to start the
ball rolling and insure a Taft delega-
ton from the new state to the next re-
publican national convention.

Sunday a Day Of. Rest.


After a very earnest and protracted
effort to get along without day OF
rest the French people have found it
necessary to consider the enactment
Of laws for the protection of Sunday
And this demand for a day of rest
comes from the working people, the
very people in whose behalf greater
supposed freedom in regard to Sunday
is asked in this country. There is
really no religious question involved as
far aus the relation of the state to the
subject is concerned. The question is
social and political entirely. What we
are to decide is whether we are TO
break down the distinction between
Sunday as a day OF rest and the other
days as days of work. The French
have done this and they have found
that the result is bad. Sunday amuse-
ments mean Sunday work for many,
and with Sunday amusements gradu-
ally comes Sunday business, open
shops, open theaters, and all the rest of
it.
