There is one town close to New York
however, whose citizens are not con-

they play the usual part of other
American citizens. But the troubles
that vex ordinary municipalities and
lead to exciting struggles at the polls
are absent. There Is no mayor. board
of aldermen or city council. There is
no police graft because the police force
IL privately paid and managed. There
is no liquor issue because the only
place where liquor is permitted to be

There Is no social evil because only
those approved by the management OF

Which Side Do You Sit onp

From the Chicago Journal.
Why do people prefer the right hand
seats as they enter Il street car from The
rear? This question has been puzzling
certain eastern newspapers. That such
is the case there can be no doubt. but
those who have noticed this peculiar
fact have been Al n loss for the cause.
In the first place, the majority of per-
sons are right-handed. That means left
footed. Therefore they quite naturally
turn TO the right on entering The car.
Nine men out of ten are so strongly
left-footed that II blindfolded and turn
ed loose on level space large enough
they will walk in an almost complete
circle, turning gradually toward the
right. The left foot at every step COW
ers slightly greater distance than the
right.
Another reason is that left-hand seats.
as one enters a car from the rear, are
next to the car on the other line of
double-track system and therefore more
liable to be in the trouble zone If.
passing car or other vehicle strikes
glancing blow.
