MAYOR HOPS ABOUT
ON STREET CAR
PROBLEM
PROMISES "soLUTioN" LATER,
AND IN NEXT BREATH SAYS IT'S
NOT FOR HIM TO BE ATTORNEY
FOR ANY PLAN.

Mayor William b. Thompson has
negatively outlined his street railway
stand. He declares that he will not
father holding company plan SINH
lar 10 that on trial in Cleveland. Meth
er will he declare for municipal own
ership or act as a leader toward that
plan OF settlement.
Until the plans of the other mayor
atty aspirants have been threshed out
and the public temper shown with re-
gard TO them, the mayor will stand
pat and keep his street railway plat
form within his circle OF counselors.
l: may be Oct. before he springs his
solution.
II have never said that was for a
holding company plan" he says posi-
lively. Neither will | say that am
for municipal ownership. am for
what the people want. II 60 per cent
they will get 1t.
The holding company plan Is prac-
tically municipal ownership. In fact,
IL has the advantage OF attracting such
men as dupont, who would not think
OF taking political appointments. The
holding company plan will be sue
cess In time, too, never forget that.
The first thing for us TO do is to
let the franchises expire. The mayor
ought not TO act as attorney for any
plan or franchise, as my predecessor
did.
Turning the system over into nlu-
nicipal ownership would be big
proposition. | do not want to throw
cold water on the municipal ownership
idea but the practical and the theo-
retical are two different things.
In the first place, there is the prob
lem Of getting the ID. u. r. to sell, and
next that OF getting the money. The
city can bond only the assets Of the
road for the purchase of them. 1t can
not bond it's faith and credit to buy
the roads.
Then, what about the stub ends?
What would we do IL the d. u. r. did
not wish to sell them?
The municipal ownership clause in
the new constitution will be useful In
two ways, however. In the first place,
II the people decide that they want to
60 ahead with municipal ownership,
they can do so. In the second place,
it is useful. even II they do not wish
to do so. as giving potential compe-
tition to any company bidding for a
Notwithstanding club over them,
in other words.
Il took prominent part in getting
that provision into the constitution,
perhaps more than anyone else. We
got Hally elected a member of the
constitutional convention just for that
particular purpose. Then l appeared
before the committee and argued for
It."

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPe-
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT.
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent of Peruna has reputation of its
owninthe cureofsome phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture Of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged fer it than is necessary for
the handling of it.
No other household remedy 50 uni
yersally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituent,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critica

WABASH TRAINS
HAVE CLOSE GALL

AS a result OF the new federal laws
governing the hours OF employment
OF telegraph operators and other rail-
road employees, the roads have cut
down their forces OF telegraphers at
many small stations and all trains on
some portions of the lines are running
under ,"caution" orders.
Because OF the present condition OF
affairs. a serious collision was barely
averted couple of days ago at Sto-
ney Creek, on the wabash. Trains
Nos and 13, one OF these passen-
ger, met near a siding. Both engi.
neers had been feeling their way and,
In consequence, were able TO stop so
that the engines came just within a
few feet OF meeting head on.
Passengers were somewhat shaken
up by the throwing on OF the air
brakes and the sudden stoppage, and
their nerves were considerably shak
en- when they learned how close had
been the danger Of bad pile-up.
