MAYOR JOHNSON WINS IN
STREET CAR FIGHT.

After eight years of almost endless
trouble over the traction question. the
city council of Cleveland has passed an
ordinance granting a franchise to the
Cleveland Railway Company. This
ordinance is in many respects victory
for Mayor Tom johnson, won in the
closing hours of his administration
While it does not appear that Mayor
Johnson has won all that he would
like. it is clear that the traction inter
ests have been forced as the result of
his long and strenuous fight TO make
substantial concessions to the city. The
ordinance granting the franchise pro-
vides for a Scent fare service, though
on the condition this does not prove
sufficiently remuneratiye the rate of
fare may be increased to a maximum
of cents for a single fare, OF seven
tickets for a quarter.
Johnson's opponents are insisting
that ne has failed to get what he
wanted and that this is shown by the
fact petitions have been started for a
referendum. But there can be no ques-
ton that because of what he has done,
the city of Cleveland is in all prob
ability 10 have a street railway service
at a much lower rate than it would
have had otherwise. It may not be a
complete victory for johnson, but it is
certainly q substantial defeat for the
| Cleveland Electric, if one considers its
attitude when johnson began his strug-
gle and how far it has been driven 20
shift it's position, and yield to the de-
mand for lower fares.
The struggle over traction questions
in Cleveland has been one of the most
bitter and protracted ever seen in this
country. The influences thrown into
the scale against Johnson were tre-
mendous and would have been over
powering against a weaker man and a
cause less entitled to succeed. The
eyes of the country have been on this
contest and it means not a little to
other municipalities that the traction
interests have been driven TO accept
lower fares.
Too much credit cannot be given to
johnson for the pertinacity and intel
ligence with which he has led in this
long drawn out campaign against one
Of the country's most powerful public
service corporations.

OUR RETIRING DISTRICT COM
MISSIONERs.

The plan to offer some tangible ex-
preston OF the citizens appreciation
Of Commissioners Macfarland's and
Vests services is most commendable-
BY ell means let us give them any
thing that our good taste and that
aforesaid appreciation may dictate
Let us even 90 farther and engrave
their names and an epitome Of their
services upon lasting marble or bronze
panels that might be inserted IN the
vestibules or corridors or council cham

inscribed memorial panels TO all our
ex-Commissioners tour one ex-Govem-
or's memory seems 70 be amply cared
for in one Of the none too beautiful
cfIigies that crowd our thoroughfares
without that building), we recall no
particular one who does not deserve
that slight permanent recognition.
But what we do deplore Is the ten
dency in some directions 10 lament
that we cannot belnight or beribbon
those two soon -to-be-ex- Commission
crs. That sort Of thing is all tommy
rot and 10 p:ne for it is undemocratic,
unworthy Of an American. Those two
men were called, saw their duty, and
did it. There was no hope Of future
reward held out to them, bribe TO in

A TALE OF THE MIGHTY
AMAZON.

People never tire Of reading about
the wonders of the worlds greatest
river, the mighty Amazon, which is
navigable for sea going ships from its
mouth tar intr Peru. 1t traverses al
empire which is still unknown to white
men save as a very few of them have
seen the the banks of the great river;
and these are so shifting and changeful
that to have seen them once means
little.
A small sae-going steamer has just
returned to this country after rubber
gathering trip up the Amazon to Iqui-
tos, in Peru, bringing her cargo Of 800
tons of rubber with her. The wonder
tales of the voyage relate to a region
which one day viii doubtless be sub
dued by civilization, and when that is
accomplished viii produce probably
more wealth for the consumption of
men than any other waste region ever
before brought forth But it viii be
generations yet before the worlds need
of natural resources viii drive white
men and their enterprise to the huge
task of placing the Amazon valley un
der the heavy contribution of which it
is capable.
The Amazon, like the Nile, is n
stream of great floods; and also like
the Nile, its source was long enshroud-
ed in mystery. It is now known that
the Peruvian Nile is a mighty river,
many hundreds of miles long, before
the stream passes into Brazilian ter
ritory. The Brazilian Amazon ira
verses a Jungle alive with the most
wonderful fauna in the world. Great
/ tributaries Of the river, comparable to
/ the mightiest streams in the world
outside the Amazon itself, are un-
/ known to white men because they
have never been explored Even the
/ lure Of its richness of rubber and mag
nifcent woods has not been potent tC
| draw white men TO the serious effort
to open up the jungle, because thus fal
| the natives have been relied upon e
bring down to the traders enough o.
these things to satisfy them. But tn,
time is at hand when white men vii
seriously undertake the development o.
this region, and the task viii be 1
vastly more difficult ono even than thr
exploration, opening, and subjugatiol
Of the heart Of Africa.

SPLENDID WORK OF LIFE-SAV-
ING SERVICE.

The annual report Of the ife-Ssving
Service, which has Just been made,
calls attention 60 the valuable and ad-
mirable work done by the keepers and
surfmen who constitute the active
force Of this organization. 1t Is the
NOR, TO be admired and commended IN
that it is done quietly and unostenta-
tiously. Rarely arc the activities OF
the Iife-Saving Service given pa scticu-
lar exploitation, but when there IS
disaster to shippirg anywhere along
the coast Of the Atlantic, the Pacific,
the Gulf, or the great lakes, it is gen
orally in evidence
We are accustomed TO think that it
is less dangerous than of old to 60
down to the sea in ships. 1t is not
often, it is true, that a fatal disaster
overtakes one of the magnificent float
ing palaces which the trans-oceanic
liners have come to be. But at the
same time, the number Of marine dis
asters every year is great. In the last
fiscal year there were 1876 marine
disasters, involving the lives of $500
persons. which called for activity on
the part of the Life-Saying Service Of
the United States. This total ex-
presses but a fraction of the worlds
aggregate of disasters
The 1876 vessels meeting disaster in
American waters, with their cargoes,
represented a value of over SI6,000,OOO.
OF the 1876, the Life-Saving Service
was able to give aid to 1919, valued
with their cargoes at over Sl3,000,OOO
But this does not indicate by any
means all the valuable work Of the in
defatiggble Surfmen. Large numbers
of bathers and others in distress have
been rescued and even five automobiles
were extracted from the Perils oi
marshes or quicksands. An important
advance in efficiency viii be made by
the equipment of al stations with
power lifebOats, which have been found
highly effective
Congress has never dealt Justly with
the men who bear the brunt Of the
work Of the Life-Saving Service. They
are poorly paid for duties that involve
skill and intelligence, and that expose
them to no end Of danger and hard
ship. Recently some slight addition
to their pay has been allowed, but il
is stin scanty and inadequate
