MODES OF TRAVEL.
From the haunting Car to tho Modern
Electric Railway.


Electric Railway.
The first haunting car was establish
ed in Ireland in 1915 by Miianese,
Carlo Bianconi, who settled in Dublin
and drove every day TO Caher and
back, charging twopence a mile. From
this small beginning in 1887 he had
established sixty-seven conveyances'
drawn by 900 horses.
The extension Of modern manufac-
turing towns and cities demanded still
create. conveniences, which were sup
piled ut first by the omnibus lines,
which up to 1860 were the chief means
of urban and interurban transporta-
ton. To these succeeded the street
railroad, traversed by cars drawn by
one or more horses, and these in turn
became wholly inadequate to meet the
demand of the suburban districts
The cable car, drawn by underground
cable. was the next innovation, but
this about 1880 TO 1890 was supplanted
by the electric trolley lines. and these
again were supplemented In many cit
les by elevated and subway lines in
which the cars were propelled by cleo
tricity supplied by a third rail- rms
latter device has already been applied
to extended lines Of railroads, ana IL
is not unlikely that the present CEN
fury will witness the electrihcauon OF
most of the railroad lines in thickly
settled countries. National Magazine

BoRAH ON LAWLESSNESS.

Free Press.
We hope that Senator Borah will see
to it that his address before the New
York Young Republican club recently
will receive wider and fuller currency
than the public prints were able to
give.
American lawIessness is rite
enough theme, but the manner in which
the Idaho statesman presented it was
fresh and superbly vigorous.
The habitual contempt for city ordin
ances, the common violation of Sun
day laws, the disregard of statutes by

He asked for less law making and more
law enforcement. "What shall it prof
it," he asked. "to devise plans and
enact statutes, if every man is to be a
law unto himself?"
Few thinking men and women who
appreciate our national curse Of law
1essness will refuse to disagree with
Senator Borah when he concludes that
greater respect for the laws sanctity
is prerequisite to any far-reaching and
enduring progress of nation.

Bergen, land agent for the Fl Paso and Southwestern, and N. F.. Plumer who assisted the Southwest ern before in it's work of buying land outside the corporate limits of Tue son.
 These instructions to buy right-of- way are considered indubitable proof that the Southwestern intends to con- tinue it's extension on to Phoenix to establish a connection with the Ari- zona and California branch of the San ta Fe. No limit is drawn on the land to be purchased except that it presumably ends with a connection with the Silverbell railroad.
