The railway companies may be free from the light licensing fee and fuel tax to which the omnibus and lorry companies are subject put they nave had to pay heavily for the land tutng their rOadNays, well for the rails over which their vehicles run; whereas, the omnibuses anu the lofIles nave free run, the community at large not only providing the road which is so sub Stantial factor in their business but keeping it in repair. But let the factors what they please there is ground for the impression that the fight already has assumed d character which furnishes the railway companies with reflcc- uon. An extension of the motor omnibus service into Essex has produced material reduction in the railway company's receipts from passenger fares In the case of one station, it is asserted, the measure of IOO pounds sterling week. What passengers find easier and cheaper producers and purchasers of goods. with the direct contact from door door, without any transshipments which the motor lOrry gives them, will probability welcome most cordially.

Why Progressivism Must Win

Former Senator Beveridge in address Kansas City the other night based a prediction of the prevalence of the progressive party upon the universally recognized fact we cannot go back ward.
 When more than 100000 voters of this country have declared in favor of a advanced princf- pies which they believe will be of benefit to the greatest number those principles must win against any which has definite principle advance.
 The three months campaign has been described as an awakening of the people, that is, that it impressed upon the people that reign of social justice ought to be inaugurated to take the place of the reign of privilege
 n the MT Beveridge that is quite the case; the people not awakened They awoke They had been awake d long time The development of progressive strength the tions outcry against the which have been steaIthiIy inflicted upon This outcry be sienced. It must swell volume until the cause 0 complaint has been abated.
 Neither democratic the republican party has proposed it's abatement Neither, in- deed. has proposed a plan to prevent the further growth the evil and neither now, in the face of this loud and insistent demand for reforms could enlist the confidence of the country in pretended progressive course.
 The progressive party is the only which the people can trust and the only which they will trust.

The City Street

They took a little gravel And they took a little tar, With various ingredients Imported from afar. They hammered it and rolled it. And when they went away, They said they had a pavement That would last for many a day But they came with picks and smote it, To lay water main; And in time they called the Workhen To put it back again. To run a railway cable They took it up once more; And, later put it back again Just where it was before. They took it up for conduits To run the telephone; And then they put it back again. As hard as any stone. They took it up for wires To feed the 'lectric light, And then they put it back again, Which was no more than right. oh, the pavement full of furrows: There are patches everywhere; You'd like to ride upon it. But it's seldom that you dare. It's very handsome pavement, A credit to the town; They're always digging of it up, Or putting of it down.
