What Candidate? What Party?

In public hearing in New York August Bel
mont frankly admitted that he had bought street
railway franchises for 22 900 and then sold it to the
subway company for $1,500O00, the difference be-
tween the two sums being the profit or commission,
of August Belmont & Co., bankers.
Belmont said he regarded the transaction as
perfectly proper, because the subway company had
to have the franchise in question in order to build its
line, and he entitled to demand all he considered
it to be worth, on that basis.
The public Belmont admitted, had not known
of this huge commission collected by him for his ser
vices in the transacton---w was, of course,
subsequently squeezed out of the public by the sub
way company.
''The public" declared Belmont, in his testi-
mony "were not in it, They had nothing to do with
it."
Nothing to do with it''-but every tired shop
girl every underpad clerk who gives his nickel for
a ride in the crowded. sitting subway, gives part of
that nickel to aid in paying August Belmont's 81,
100000 commission on the purchase and sale of a
franchise that the subway company needed.
What political party, and what candidate, will
demand the enactment of laws that will punish this
sort of robbery Of the people by the Morgan Belmont
Ryan gang of privileged "financiers'?
That party, and that candidate, are sorely need
ed in offices and in power.

IF EYE OFFEND
GET A NEW EYE

The Biblical injunction-"If
thine eye offend then pluck It
out" may be amended by the ad-
dition Of the words "and get thee

The Journal OF the American
Medical association announces
that during the early part of this
year, man Came 10 the hospital
In Carrollton. Mo-, for treatment
for an injury to his right eye
which completely destroyed the
corpea. He could not see.
The surgeons made a careful
examination and determined to
supply new cornea. The cornea,
by the way Is the transparent film
or Tense that covers the eye. AS
no human being was willing to
sacrifice an eye for the benefit of
the injured man, the surgeon
caught a rabbit, removed the cor
nea Of its eye and placed 1t on
that OF the injured man. Now the
man has as good an eye as anyone
could want.

which no person could probably
live, even with wind shields and
oxygen tanks for breathing.
There are these dangers:

one would mean a sure and sud-

Inside the hoop is a saddle for
the rider, the motor, and handles,
with which are connected two
wires leading to the steering rud-

Coates and his co-inventor,
William Mcdonald, explained the
workings of the aero-unicycle to
me, and invited me out to the
Catlin field to "see 1t roll" AT
five in the morning, before the
curious were awake, William
Hunter, a professional motor
cycler, rolled the unicycle out.
Hunter leaped on the saddle,
started the motor-six horse
power-and Coates "cranked'
the machine by turning the pro-
peller. The hoop began to re-
volve the rider and the machin-
cry gliding along on the inner
rim.
With three revolutions Hunter
leaned forward on his saddle,
thereby drawing up the two
small wheels about a foot from
the ground, and he was off. A
