City traction interests will not be
the less inclined to mourn over Tom
Johnson's victory for three-cent fares
in Cleveland on hearing that Johnson
considers this but the first step in a
long march. He has fought for three
cent fares, he says, not alone because
he thought that would be fair price
to pay, but because "it is two cents
nearer nothing than five cents" He
would apply to street transportation
the reasoning that causes the owner
of city block to operate free eleva-
tors, namely the desire to rent the
offices on the rnDer floors at rates ap
proximating those charged for second
floor offices. Since the effect Of street
car service is to raise the value Of
outlying real estate, giving it a higher
rental value, Mr.. Johnson thinks the
e"fcr Of real estate and not the ten
ant is the one to pay the street car
fares. He would therefore make the
service free, charging the cost to the
real estate in the form of taxes.

A disposition is manifest on the part
of the New York authorities to hold
vice president of the New York Cen
trail railroad criminally liable for the
twenty deaths in last weeks wreck on
the outskirts of New York city. The
train left the track while speeding
around a curve at the rate of about
seventy miles an hour Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Smythe considers it
criminal negligence on the part of the
construction authorities of the road
that provision was not made to with
stand the extra strain on the track
known TO arise from the high speed of
the newly installed electrical trains.
The same cause was responsible for
the wreck at Johnstown, Pennsylvania
last week, curve not built TO with
stand the lateral pressure placed up
on it by a fast train. The country will
await with interest the further pro-
ceedings in New York. The prosecution
and punishment however lightly of a
high railroad official for laxity of man
agement leading to railroad disasters
would be novelty whose results can

One of the points on which empha-
sis was laid in report on the condi-

was the distinction that should in fair
ness be drawn between the permanent
and the floating negro population. 1t
was shown there that the criminal sta
tistics of the city reflect unfairly upon
the resident negroes, for the reason
that a large proportion of the colared
people who find themselves in con-

ton criticises the alleged action of
local employers in importing negro la
borers for emergencies and then leav-

saying: "This method has caused the

unjust criticisms in the past several
years. Resentment toward the COM
petition of outside laborers may have
its part in this expression, but there
is as noted by the students who in
vestigated the matter, at least some
degree of justification for the com
plant
