Regulation the Safer Policy

From the Houston Post.
The time must come when people gen.
orally will reacn the conclusion that reg
ulation is a safer and more certain
method Of dealing with liquor than sup
preston which does not suppress. In
telligent men, whether prohIbitionists or
anti-prohibitIonists, desire to abate the
evils which flow from the use and abuse
of liquor. and If they could approach
the problem harmoniously 1t might be
solved with some measure of satisfac-
ton. But so long as they fly at each
others threats, and so long as ambitious
men or mercenaries ag1tate the question
from extreme points OF view, merely to
serve their selfish ends, the problem will
remain with all its difficulties.

Against Wildcat Schemes.

The insurance men of the District
wisely suggest that the laws of the
District of Columbia ought to be more
conducive to honest business.
There is 4 law in one of the Western
States which necessitates the approval
of a State officer to all efforts to sell
stock in any enterprise The promot-
ers must submit to this official a com
plete statement of the grounds upon
which they ask public support, and I'M
less this showing presents a prima facie
case OF reliability, no stock can be Of
fered for sale. The care with which
the law is enforced is evident when it
is stated that out of hundreds of
schemes proposed only about eighteen
have received approval
If there could be law in the Dis
trict against the fotation OF wildcat
propositions, it would help honest bust
ness.

Trolley Express Service.

According to the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Chicago is taking a step forward in the
development of its street car service,
particularly that which reaches out into
the suburbs. by planning to bring the
express and light freight cars operating
on the outlying sections into a central
terminal The Bulletin comments there
on as follows:
The possibilities of the light railway,
as the street railway in England is dis
tinguished from the older steam road,
In freight service have never been ex-
plotted, or hardly considered by the
public. 1t is not regarded as an ex-
IRENE prediction to forecast the time
when all the passenger traffic within the
zone of a metropolitan center shall be
haDdIed by it's local system of electric
railways. 1t is as easily within COmpre-
hension that the express and freight
business of such a community may be
handled over the same system, giving to
the distribution of merchandise the same
frequency and facility of service which
the electric lines now afford in passenger
traffic
The partial utilization of the sub
urban lines running to the north and
west of Philadelphia in light freight
and express service is but a suggestion
OF the advantages that may be gained
when, in an ultimate unificatioH of a
metropolitan system. freight as well as
passengers may be dispatched and re-
ceived at every important or focal point
within the merchandising circle OF the

triously the foes of that trade agreement
dragged the annexation bugaboo up and
down the land. Champ Clark then was a
prophet, whose talk of gathering the
neighboring land under the folds Of the
Stars and Stripes was an earnest of the
subtle national intention south OF the
boundary line. After the election, Lib
erals showed a suddenly returned appre-
citation of humor. In the British House
a few days ago Clark's annexation talk
was termed by the under-secretary of
foreign affairs as not seriously intended
