United States in its civic institu-
tions and government.
Crosser is one of the new men,
bers Of that Committee, and he
comes from Cleveland which is
famed for having the most enlight-
ened city government in the United
States III Crosser the spirit of the
late Tom johnson veritably goes
marching on. johnson was the great
municipal crusader Of this country.
He exhausted his health and his
wealth in victorious struggle to
restore to the people of Cleveland
the ownership of their streets.
The Crosser municipal ownership
bill may be regarded as the contin-
uance @of Toms Johnson fight in
Cleveland transferred to Washing
ton.
While Johnson was battling for
the control of the Cleveland street
car line Crosser was fiery souled
young lawyer following in his
train and attracting little attention
at the time. Since then johnson has
died and Crosser has arisen. He
wrote the initiative and referendum
amendment to the new Ohio consti-
tutioh. And when the people of
the Buckeye state elected him as
their representative at large last
fall, it was tribute to his sevices
and his ability. Although he has
been silently observing things in
Washington since he took office on
March d, in the intimacy of the
caucus room members have been
seeking him out and marking him
for one of the coming strong mer
of Congress.

To CURB CORPORAfIONG

Washington, September 8, THE
bill introduced by Representative
Robert l. Crosser, Of Cleveland,
Ohio. providing for the municipal
ownership of the traction lines of
Washington d c., deserves better
fate than to die in a pigeonhole.
The House and the Senate both
ought to have the opportunity of
expressing themselves on this i'm
portant subject. Mr. Crosser is con-
fdent that his bill will be reported
out of the committee for consider
alton by Congress, and it is TO be
hoped that this confidence is justi
fed.
No large city in the United
States has public service corDora-
tons so insolently cOntemptuous
of the public as those III Washing
ton. And the street car companies
stand at the head of them. Their
whole attitude is one of the pub
lie be damned. And they have
good and sufficient reason for feel
ing secure in the face Of any pop
luar criticism. The people of Wash
ington have no voice in their hand
me-down government. The public
service corporation have to deal
only with appointed city commits
sioners and appointed public utili-
ties board and behind both of the
District Committees of Congress
and Congress itself. In the past
these agencies who exercise their
paternalistic watch over the vote
less public of Washington have
been only too pliable in the hands
of the bloated corporation.
But now a new spirit has crept
into Congress and the public SER
vice corporation would do well to
l9ok at such measures as the one
hR.roduced by CT osser and read the
handwriting on the wall. Before
the vested interests Of Washington
were aware of it the present Dis,
trict Committee of the House was
filed with young men bringing 6

Little Brig Evelyn, Water

Was Af|oat, Friday, with Capt.,
Mate and Sailor Aboard.
Later Taken 0ff..Three of Crew
First Abandoned Craft.

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 5.-The Ettle
British brig Evelyn, waterlogged and
a derelict, was, Friday last, af1oat in
mid d-Atlantic with her captain, the
mate and a sailor aboard, according to
officers of the British collier Invergyle,
which reached here today, with three
of the Evelyn's crew.
The men left aboard the drifting
vessel refused to chance their lives by
jumping into the sea, as their three
did, trusting to the Inver-
gyle's boats to pick them up. A gale
was raging; and after the rescuers,
unable to reach the Evelyn, had en-
deavored futilely to persuade the 9TH
er three men to jump, the Evelyn was
left adrift with the men on board.
The entire crew was enormously re-
ported saved, a few days ago.
The Invergyle sighted the sticken
brig Nov 2S. Those aboard the collier
believe that the men on the derellct
may have been rescued by another
passing steamer, for the Evelyn lay in
the highway of ocean traffic.
The Invergyle was almost wrecked
herself by the storm. The main crank
shaft snapped, the engine was dis
abled. the matches were crushed in,
the steering gear disabled, the funnel
was knocked away by wave and the
headlights were smashed.

tie of the revolution in Ulster, which
it had hitherto ignored, although the
followers of Sir Edward Carson for
months had been advertising their mil
itary preparations in every possible
way and daring interference with
them.
Almost at the same time of the pub
lication of the proclamation, Premier
Asquith made the longest step towards
the conciliation of the Ulsterites that
the government has taken, by an
nouncing his acceptance of the prin-
ciples for basis of agreement which
Sir Edward Carson suggested in his
last speech. These principles are:
First-That the settlement must not
be humiliating or degrading to Ul-
ster.
Second-Ulsters treatment must not
be different or exceptional from that
neted out to the other parts of the
United Kingdom.
Third-Ulster must retain full pro-
lection of the Imperial Parliament.
Fourth-The home rule bill must not
be such as to lead to ultimate separa-
ton of Ulster from Great Britain.
Thus the government extends to the
signers of the Ulster covenant the
olive branch.
