THE PEOPLE OF TOLEDO, o. SET FINE EXAMPLE IN
HANDLING STREET RAILWAY SITUATION

11S1NDL1NS
The way the people of Toledo,
o., are handling their tramway
troubles is interesting in view of
the present situation in Chicago.
Under the authority of the city
government of Toledo, the people
of that city today are refusing to
pay more than 3 cents carfare.
The street railway company is in
sisting on 5 cents. The people
are permitting the company to
evict them from the cars, and
then the city attorney of Toledo,
is bringing suit on their behalf
against the company.
The Toledo situation goes back
some years to a time when GER
tain of>the street railway COM
pany's franchises expired.
About the same time, the peo-
pie had got on to the curves of
the DemOcrat1C-RepuDl1Can ma
chine combination, which had
been splitting up the spoils of the
city for many years.
Once on to this bipartisan ma
chine game, the people became
Extremely busy. They formed a
new party. 1t wasn't a Progress
sive Republican party, nor Pro-
gressive Democratic party, nor a
Socialist party. 1t was just the
party of the people in Toledo, and
for campaign purposes, the Peo-
pie called themselves the indie
pendents.
Thus the people were in con-
troll of the city government
when the tramway franchise

as the Big Con-" had been be-
having for many years after the
general manner of street railway
companies. Poor service; running
cars just when they felt like it;
turning their deaf ear to the pro-
tests of the people, bossing the
city government, and generally
making hog of itself, just as the
Chicago Street Railway COM
pany is doing now.
So, when the Big Con asked the
peoples government for renewed
franchises, the peoples govern
ment politely pointed out that the
service of the Big Con in the past
had not been all that it might
have been, and that consequently,
they, as representing the people
of Toledo, could not renew the
franchises unless the Big Con I'M
mediately reformed.
ooh, all right" said the Big
Con. You think you've had bad
service in the past? Now, we'll
show you. And we'll run without
franchises in the future"
(This had proved a fine line of
talk in the past, and always had
brought the helpless people
round.)
But the People of Toledo were
running their own government
now, and weren't helpless in the
least. When the Big Con kept its
promise, and its service became
worse, the city council met and
passed an ordinance.
That ordinance arbitrarily cuts

and partial success with hearts somewhat
Indifferent to what the cup of fate contains
when its contents are measured out to them.
The proper guide to mans desire in
life should be largely gagged by the re-
sponsibilities resting upon him. And no
responsibility should appeal to mans
heart more quickly or cause him to exer-
else every indeavor to win in the struggle
of life than that of his wife and dependent
little ones. These are his jewels OF price,
less value, and to shelter them against the
storms and vicissitudes of this life should
be his first and highest thought and the
strongest incentive to weave success out OF
his business.
To all, the Banner wishes a happy and
prosperous New Year. Our people have
prospered wonderfully during the year
drawing to close. That they may be
even more successful for the year to come
is our wish to all.

IF NEEDED, LET THE STATE PAY.

1t is plain that high school visitor should
be subject to the wishes of the State Su-
perintendent and the State Board of Edu-
cation, and it is equally plain that if some
power, outside and beyond the State, holds
the purse strings, then is their apparent
authority vain sham, and situation is
produced intorable to a proud State. If
the high schools of Louisiana need wis
itor" let the State pay as we'll as select an
official. 1t may be said in passing that one
is not necessary. 1t merely provides
another wheel within wheel for the in
genious and complicated school machine
that has had such driving power in the
politics of Louisiana. Faancasralle
True Democrat.
We agree with the Democrat that high
school visitor sis not necessary Why
pay State Superintendent of Education
an excessive salary of $4,000 per annum
and then pay other men to do work that he
should do? There are large number of
men fully as competent as any Supern-
tendent the State has ever had-and all
have been competent under Democratic
Admistrations-who would gladly accept
the office Of Superintendent at a less salary
than $1,000 year, and do whole lot of
hustling for the easy money. The State
should pay literally for what it gets, but
it should get what it pays for. While on
the subject, we again enter our humble
protest against frittering away annually
S15, 900 good tax money on so-called State
Institutes? Why not put it where it will
do the greatest good for the greatest num-
BERN the public school fund?
Both the High School Inspector and the
State Institute Conductor are estimable
gentlemen, worthy and we'll qualified, and
we have no objection to them. Our COM
plant is that our Five Thousand Dollar
State Superintendent should himself do the
work that they are doing, and then have a
| day off, when he wants it. and welcome to
| it., provided he does not devote it to politi-
cal fence building, as was almost the CHIEF
occupation of his predecessor.

Prosperity.

Memphis Commercial Appeal
True prosperity is granted only to the
heart that abounds with integrity, trust,
generosity and love.
The heart that is not possessed of these
qualities cannot know prosperity, for pros
perity, like happiness, is not an outward
possession, but an inward realization.
A greedy man may become millionaire,
but he will always be poor and mean, and
will even consider himself outwardly poor
so long as there is man in the world who
is richer than himself
The upright, open handed and loving
will attain full and abundant prosperity,
even though their material riches may be
small.
When we realize that the universe
abounds in all good things and see mans
blind eagerness to secure a few gold coins,
or few acres of soil, we understand how
dark and ignorant selfshness is. It is
then that we know self-seeking is self
destruction
He who would gain true prosperity does
not settle down into the belief that if he
does right everything will go wrong. He
refuses to allow the word competition
to shake his faith in the supremacy of right
eousness.
No matter what men may say about the
laws of competition, there is an unchange-
able law which shall one day put them all
to rout. Understanding this flaw, we can
contemplate all dishonesty with undisturb-
ed repose, knowing that certain destruc-
ton awaits it.
Under all circumstances the true man
does that which he believes to be right, and
and trusts the higher law and power that
is imminent in the universe. BY such
trust all losses are converted into gains,
and all curses which threaten are trans
muted into blessings.
Holding to integrity, generosity and
love, we are lifted into the truly prosper
Gus state.
Refuse to believe the world when it says
one must always attend to self first and
others later. To do do this is not to think
of others at all, but only of ones own
comfort.
Consideration of self before all others
cramps and warps every noble impulse.
The heart reaching out to others in low
ing and generous warmth will attain great
and lasting joy and true prosperity.
