CAR.FARE ORDINANCE.

It must be gratifying to those who
favor municipal ownership Of the
street railways to have the Twin City
Rapid Transit Co. take the position
that it has in reference to tile six for
a quarter ordinance. No more effec-
tive way could be imagined for pro-
noting agitation for public ownership.
The ordinance. which has just re-
ceived the approval Of the Mayor
seems an extremely mild one. Indeed,
a great many people in this community
who have given the subject thought
believe that the ordinance was framed
by the friends of the street railway
company with the idea that its enact
ment would quiet, for a time at least,
public agitation. If these people are
right in their views it is hard to ul1-
derstand what the object Of the COM
pany is in testing tho constitutionality
Of the measure in the courts. The COM
pany's attitude will make the people
more insistent, in their demands and
will give those who are advocating
public ownership better arguments for
their position than they have hereto
fore had. If the people should become
thoroughly convinced that the public

WAS A BENEFAcroR,

In the death of John II. Creighton of
Omaha the Catholic Church lost one
Of its most liberal benefactors. He,
together with other members OF his
family. founded the Jesuit College in
Omaha, which is attended by over
seven hundred students. Connected
with 1t is one of the foremost medical
schools in the West. He also estaf-
1ished st. Joseph's hospital, which is
the largest one in the United States
No restrictions of race, creed or po-
litical test are applied to applicants.
His gifts to the Church and to other
charitable institutions outside of the
institutions just mentioned amounted
to more than $3,000,00O. His life fur
nishes a good example for other mil
lionaires to follow.
1t is not a great many years ago
since he was a poor farm hand in Ohio
He came West and helped to build the
line Of the Western Union Telegraph
Co. from Omaha to Salt Lake City
He then became interested in the pack
ing industry, and to him, more than
to any other one man, is due the
building UP Of that great business. He
retired from active business affairs
several years ago, while yet in good
health, and devoted his time to works
sfof charity and philanthropy. The good
work which he started in his lifetime
will continue on. 1t is. hard to esti-
mate the influence that such life has
upon the world. If the multi-lnillion-
aires Of this country could be made to
realize the power for good that they
possess. more of them might be per-
gSuaded to follow in the footsteps of
John II. Creighton.

service corporations are not the SER
wants OF, but the masters OF, the peo-
pie, nothing can stop q prolonged agi-
tation for Municipal Ownership. Moth
ing is better established than that
these corporations are the creatures
of the state or municipality under
whose laws they exist and as such
they are subject to reasonable control
and regulation. No fair man will deny
that they are entitled to reasonable re-
turn upon the money actually invested
in the plant. III view of what trans
portation companies are able to do in
other cities, there can be 10 reason
able doubt that the Twin City Rapid
Transit Co. would be able to make a
large return for investors in its stock
at the reduced rate provided for by the
new ordinance. Indeed, It is more
than probable that the company could
do much better for its patrons and
still earn liberal dividends upon actual
investment In view Of the prejudice
that already exists in the public mind
against public service corporations, a
prejudice largely deserved because of
the interference Of these corporations
i'll political and legislative affairs, it
seems strange, indeed, that our street
car company should deem it wise
policy to challenge the power Of the
people when that power is so mildly
exercised. By it's present attitude the
Twin City Rapid Transit Co. places
itself in the position of the Brooklyn
street railway company in denying;
the demands of the public. It becomes,
by such action, IL powerful promoter
OF q municipal ownership program. II
the present attitude Of the street car
company is maintained the cities Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul may soon find
themselves in the same sort of a
struggle that has held Chicago in its
grasp for the past ten years. 1t will
be a little hard for the street car COM
pany to persuade the people that it is
unable to furnish q slight reduction
in transportation rates, while it has
at the same time unlimited means
with which to carry on a fight in the
courts and apparently unlimited means
with which to maintain lobbies to in
huence legislation in the City Council
and at the State Capitol.

PASSED AWAY.
Thomas w. Sheehy, a Pioneer Resi-
dent, Dies at His Home in ST. Paul.

In the death of Thomas Wallace
Sheehy. who passed away at his late
home, $50 Selby avenue, st. Paul, on
the 14th inst, Minnesota loses one of
it's pioneer settlers and a man who
was held in great esteem by all who
knew him. Mr.. Sheehy was IS years
Of age at the time Of his demise, and
is survived by widow, three sons
and one daughter. One of the sons,
John Sheehy Of Montgomery, this
state, is the worthy state treasurer Of

On March 4, 1929, Thomas w. sheehy
was born III Limerick, Ireland. He
secured an excellent education, and
this was largely due to his own ef-
forts, owing to the meager limitations
of the schools of that time. In 1850
deceased emigrated to this country,
first settling in Connecticut. From
that state he moved to Louisville,
Kentucky, and from Louisville he
came to st. Paul in 1857. In the latter
city he soon embarked in the grocery
business with his bro ther, John w.
Sheehy. under the firm name Of
Sheehy Bros. The firm was the
first wholesale grocery house to oper-
ate in st. Paul, and the partnership
was continued until 1870. when, by
mutual consent, it was dissolved. T. W.
Sheehy continued in the business. On
March l, 1859, he was married to Miss
Catherine B. Brown, Of st. Paul. who
survives him. In 1890 he founded the
State Bank Of Montgomery, Minn.,
being elected president Of the institu-

John 3. Mcdonald, the builder Of

directing genius in the construction
Of the Panama canal. Other men as

siderable part in the building of the
great canal. All of the contractors
mentioned have made regulations for
themselves in the construction Of great
works. Their connection With tho
Panama Canal means that the work
will be carried on to completion in the
shortest possible time. John L. Nc
Donald's accomplishment in the build

time than that Of any other American.
George washington was one Of the
wealthies5, II not the wealthiest,
American OF his time. The services
rendered by him to the country are all
the more remarkable because of that
fact. He served his country for near
ly a half a century without any regard
to re|t nue. He not only gave his coun-
try the best SER, Zee that he had, but
he devoted a large portion of his pr;-
vate fortune to the support of the con .
tinental army in the time Of grave
necessity. George Washington was a
wealthy man, who gave his life and a
portion Of his fortune that the rights
Of men might have Il place in the.
world where they would be respected
aud accorded full opportunity.
He served his country, not only in
the time of war. and while he was It's
first president, but he served it at all
times by giving his best advice to the
public duties. He never missed voting
at an election. lio never allowed dis
tance, or weather. or other trivial eX-
cuse to interfere with the full per-
formance Of all and every duty i'm
posed upon Il citizen. He was not a
captain of Industry, such as the great
railroad presidents of today, but he
was a man of affairs, proportionately
as important as the most gigantic un-
dertakings of the present day. He
never was too busy to be citizen.
His life ought not TO go unheeded by
those men of great wealth in this
country today, who have amassed im-
mense fortunes, largely because Of the
opportunities afforded to them be?
cause George Washington and other
men like him gave Of their services
and means so freely that the Republic
Of the United States might exist.
Washington was by birth, educa-
ton and social surroundings, an aris-
tocrat. He would have obtained a
high and influential position in the
colonies had they remained loyal to
Great Britain. He was not sufferer
personally because of the acts of Eng
land toward the colonies. but he, new
crtheless, gave himself to the service
Of the colonies, because the rights of
others We're being denied to them
Washington is an example of a man,
wealthy well situated, influential. en-
listing himself in most hazardous
and doubtful undertaking that he
might be Of service to humanity. He
was probably the most abused man of
his time. All kinds of sinister motives
We're ascribed to him. He was called
ambitious, cruel, penurious, but the
glory of his work and the result of his
sacrifice has outlived all the muck
raking of centuries, and he stands forth
today as strong as he ever did. "The

considerable important business was
transacted. Seventeen applications for
membership were received, and ten new

halls, the piano to be made especially
for the halls and to match the new
furniture. The most pleasant event of
