INJUNCTION DENIED

WY IDESPREAD interest in the sub
wv tect of smoking on the street
w cars has been shown by the
large number of letters printed in The
Herald's Letter Box. Each side of the
question has it's stout defenders and
each has made telling points, but it
seems to us the disputants have all
missed the real point.
The smokers assume that the front
end Of the car is theirs and that any
woman on that end is an outlaw The
"antis" contend that a smoker is
public nuisance who should be sup
pressed there and else--here. The facts
are there: The company has not set
aside the front for smokers but has
said that men (and women too, pre-
sumably) MAY smoke there but no
where else. Therefore women, being
privileged TO smoke there, are not IN
terlopers. If they prefer not to smoke
there or to smoke at home, that Is
beside the question.
The front end being not reserved for
any sex or any custom or habit, If
woman gets there first and takes
seat a smoker would like, it is his
misfortune but not her fault. He has
no right in revenge, when he beats
some other woman to a seat, to try to
blow his smoke through the ears and
down the throats of other women be-
cause of their unfortunate sex. More
properly, he has the right according
to the trolley company's rule, but it
isn't a nice habit and he would apollo
gize for such rudeness in his own
home.
The appeal of the plaintiff smoker
is therefore dismissed and the injunc-
tion prayed for against the non-smoker
is denied

mistake and derailed a train. He
went right into the office and confessed
his negligence. Before long, for his
honesty, he was promoted. At the age
of 26 he was general ticket agent. To-
day he probably ranks first in his line

"All these men work within few
feet of each other in one railroad sta
ton. The building swarms with such
men, and when you come to look into
the matter closely you will be told that
in these and all other cases talent and
ability have counted, but the main
characteristic of these men has been
their strict attention to duty and their
lifelong devotion and loyalty to the in
terests of the public and the railroad.
During the last few years one of the
avenues of employment on the railroad
that has become particularly attractive
is the passenger train service. The
ranks of the trainmen are now largely
recruited from the high schools.

saving them until night; for she heard the wash of the

II IGHT airs from the bay tempered the
heat of the sun on the deck awning of
the Alicia, as the yacht swung idly at
her anchorage in the harbor. The yacht club
was alive with bunting, from every pole in
sight fluttered the nations flag, and persis-
tent clamor of firecrackers and now and then
the boom of ordnance came family across the
water from the town. The small ferryboat
from jamestown wheezed laboriously by, Civ

the disdain of swan for an ugly duckling.
purple haze hung over each shore, which swan
in the heat and in the north was lost in the
mingling of sea and sky.
In spite of pleasant invitations in Newport,
the guests of the Alicia had chosen to stay
aboard until nightfall and thus escape the
noise and confusion of the Fourth of July
They had all slept late after the dance at the
Van SEWERS cottage, and were now enjoying
restful opportunity for recuperation. Tommy
