ductiOn In This Country

MAYOR SCORES COMPANY

In his message TO the Aldermen ure-
| ing the passage of the ordinance Mayor
Fagan said:
Up to this time the officials of the
public service corporation Operating
the trolley lines) have proceeded on the
theory that they were the sole Judges
of the amount and quality of service
the corporation was to render the pub
| lie II is evident we can have no re-
lief from the present conditions if they
are to continue to be the judges of
their own obligations to the city. I
| think the time has come to make a
sharp and decisive test of the cues
tion as to whether the public has any
rights whatsoever in these matters
1t seems to me that company en-
! joying the valuable monopoly of trolley
car service in this city might reason
ably be required to furnish a sufficient
number of cars at the rush hours TO
accommodate every person who pays a
fare to be transported in a public con
veyance, and each passenger is entitled
to be carried in a comfortable manner
that is to say, provided with a seat.
This obligation is recognized by the
steam railroads everywhere
In conclusion the Mayor saws: sIf
we try, and succeed, we will have rem
dered great service to the public. If
We try. and fail, we will at least have
learned that we must look elsewhere
for remedy, so, in addition to the bill
requiring the trolley company to run a
sufficient number Of cars, / transmit to
you the draft of bill to enable us
to construct and owD municipal troll

Senator Edward I. Wolfe has taken

TELLS of REFORM PLAN

This would not be costly, and many
of the usual objections to municipal
ownership would be avoided if the citv
leased the right to run cars for a term
of years on the basis of a 3-cent fare.
1t is along this line that Mayor Tom
Johnson is waging his s-cent-fare fight
in Cleveland, O., with every prospect
of success. My experience of the power
and strength of entrenched monopoly
in politics has gradually forced me to
the conclusion that we can only escape
from the debauchery of our politics by
the holders of these special privileges
by taking over the business which we
seem unable to regulate in the public
interest The possession by the city Of
the legal right TO construct its own
street car line would In itself make our
trolley magnates see the necessity of
better service

Democratic Leanings.


Henry G. Davis was the first to put in q
word for Judge Gray of Delaware among
the democrats. Gen. c. c. Watts was the
next to put crimp in Bryan by eulogizing
Senator Daniel. There have been other
outcroppings of opposition to Bryan among
the old-time party leaders. and undoubt5 d.
ly they will endeavor to set up de ega-
ton that will be against the Nebraskan.
but the success of their Gorman-Parker
movement OF three years ago can hardly be
duplicated again.
1t is an open secret that those in control
of the democratic organization have no
sympathy with Bryan, but inasnuch as
the leaders Of the minority party are prin-
cipally lawyers who hold briefs from Big
corporations or who are legislative repre-
sentatives OF corporations their influence
Is not far-reaching. Only by some SLICK
work can an anti-Bryan delegation be Sc
cured in West Virginia and not in ali the
choose the delegates entail considerable
cost, which item discourages the attend
ance OF the rank and file. but they are so
welded to Bryan and have become so
lions by their accepted leaders that they
will not stand for repetition OF the Far
ker fiaScO
Henry G. Davis on the ticket did not Ali
up the gap then. and his voice now speak
ing for Judge Gray falls on deaf ears. Ex-
Senator Davis Is loved as West Virginia's
grand old man, and there are those In his
party who would agree to boom him Tor
governor, Notwithstanding his advanced
age, but they politely disagree with his
presidential preferences. A year ago Col
John T. McGraw and Will E. Chiffon,
leaders Of the two factions. thought Bryan
was a good man to run for his vote-draw-
ing effect. Because government ownership
