at is a little complex. What seems
to bother you the most?" replied the
Upright Citizen.
"Well, for instance, in whose in
terest is it conducsed?"
"In the interest of the people, Of
course" answered the Upright Citi-
zen.
"Then why are the people not
treated with greater courtesy and
supplied with greater comforts?"
Because it is not to the interest of
those who conduct it to do so. T"
But thought you said it was con-
Quoted in the interest of the people?"
In way it is. That is to say, the
people, in their own interest, intrust
the traction business to selected mem
bers of the community, to whose in
terest it is to conduct it in the inter-
est of the people. Understand"

interest is it to have good service?S
ITO the interest of the people. of
course; but then you could not expect
the traction officials to give good SER
vice when 1t is not to their interest,
could you?"
II do not expect anything" ex-
plsined the Man from Mars Il am
trying to understand it. AS near as
can determine there are two conflict

fiict, which gives way?r
"The people, of course. You could
not expect individuals to give service
which was not to their interest. Have
you ever studied the question of vest
ed rights?D
eNo; but suppose vested rights
are those which authorize the few to
make the many uncomfortable?"
"You talk like q dangerous man, I"

his body. was not cleared up today
Mrs. Taschex, his negress wife, claims
that he attempted suicide, and the po-

Edwin Conklin, alias Mckay. alias
Brown, who was arrested in this city
last night, was taken to the Mountain
side Hospital. Montclair, today by Chief
of Police Henry Gallagher and Detec-
tive Sergeant Edward Reilly. Mckay
was accused by Taschex OF doing the

The wounded man identified him as
the man who shot him, so he claimed
and Chief Gallagher win make charge
of suspicion against the prisoner and
have him arraigned before Recorder

Mrs. Taschex said today that when the

talking. Mr.. Taschex had sent Hall up
to endeavor to prevail on her not t.
have separation papers signed. During

house At the hospital 1t was said that
Taschex is doing well and will likely
