Poor Toledo!

Toledo, Ohio, is shut in. Accord
ing to the esteemed Blade of that
city, the Coming Great" is barri-
caded. Not by armies bearing ban
ners. But by automobiles, as the
following viii signify:
1t IS wonder there are not several
men. women. and children killed in
Toledo every day as the result Of the
vnwarranted and unlawful speed of au-
tomobiles- The streets, which are pre-
sumed to be for the use of the public
are made almost impossible because a
PERSON takes his life in his hands to
cross a thoroushfare, and this Is par
ucularly true OF the streets in the resi-
dence districts.
Of course, there is an ordinance
limiting the speed of automobiles,
but like almost every other law, its
enforcement is ignored by this city
administration" Again-"Reckless
drivers of automobiles dash up and
down the avenues and streets like
express trains" There have been
number of serious accidents, says
the Blade, "and more viii follow
unless the authorities get busy"
OFF here in Washington we wonder
if the situation in any American city
can be quite so bad as that. We
have locally little or no trouble with
drivers of horseless vehicles. They
are as watchful to avoid accidents
as pedestrians are to avoid being
hurt. Our only criticism is that
they do a little too much honking
on their rounds. Slowing down at
crossings as they do, keeping TO an
extremely moderate speed within
the city limits, we have become less
afraid of them than Of many teams.
But in Toledo they have evidently
a real problem. As tie municipal
government will not solve it, the
automobiles must. We Of the Dis
trict of Columbia have found the
owner of a car worth several thou
sand dollars rather easily amenable
TO reason. Maybe the Blade can call
together the offenders among its
own subscribers and get them TO let
poor Toledo out of doors.

Pretty Strong.

The Boston Herald is certainly
"agin" Government ownership of
railroads, but that is no valid reason
for the utterance of such statements
as this:
The point is that Government owner
ship would mean the control aud man
agement OF this vast property and its
I.300.n00 officers and employees by a
gang Of politicians who have no train
ing for the business and who would
treat the railroads as they do the other
offices as the spOils Of victory There
could be neither efficiency. economy. nor
stability under such a non-expert and
shifting control; and instead OF taking
the railroads out Of politics, II would
plunge them into it all over.
The whole of which is an assump-
ton not borne out by the pertinent
facts.
The business of carrying the mail
of the people of these United States
is performed by the Government; is
there in it neither efficiency, econ
omy, nor stability
The business of collecting the Gus
toms is in governmental hands; is
it not performed with remarkable
honesty and zeal?
The army and navy are admins
tered by the Government; is the
work not well done, on the whole?
We need not all agree that the
time is ripe for Federal possession
of the railroads, nor need we, on
the other hand, admit that this Gov
eminent could not properly admin
sister them.
