'Fhe price of living would not be
nearly so high if people did not ask
for 50 much in the way of delivering
and running errands free. Did you
ever stop to think that some one must
pay for all these extras? In the old
days the milk man rang his bell and
the housekeeper was expected to go
out and get what milk she wanted;
also the ice man left the ice on the
walk, now he has to wash it, clean
out the ice box and put the ice in it.
All these things cost time and time
is money and if people want these
conveniences they must pay for them.
These are just few of the thiAgs
that go to help make up the nigh cost
of living; one could mention dozens
Of little things which small in them
selves, in the aggregate make q large
bill of expense.

ENFORCE NEW LAWS
Street Cars Stop on the Near
Side of the Crossings Be
ginning on Sunday.
LITTLE TROUBLE FOR PATRONS

Kenosha people adopted city ways
on Sunday when the cars OF the Re
nosha Electric Railway Company be-
gan stopping at the near side of the
street crossings and the change In the
plan of operation as put into practice
without any serious inconvenience to
the people who use che cars. Of
course some people were left standing
on the far side of the crossing as the
cars went by, but most of the people
had understood the change and lost
no time in changing their place of
waiting for the cars.
The formal order was sent to the
railway men on Saturday evening and
when the cars pulled out OF the barn
on Sunday morning they began MAX
ing stops at the near side. The ex-
pected complaint has come from near
side stops and that is that the people
are not allowed to leave tie cars at
the street crossings. 1t is not thought
that this will cause any great amount
OF trouble in Kenosha as every street
on which the street railway operates
is paved. In addition to this the men
in charge of the ears are showing in
telligence in stopping for passengers
to board and leave the car. The new
order brought a little confusion dur
ing the rush hour this morning when
people were going to work, but many
people adopted the plan OF standing in
the center of the street and this gave
them a chance to board the car when
it stopped.
The new rule of the city in regard
to the stopping of the cars will
probably hasten the completion Of the
new pay as you enter cars ordered
for Kenosha some ten months ago and
it is expected that these will be de-
livered within short time With the
new form of cars there will be no
trouble for passengers leaving the cars
as they will be expected to leave the
cars from the front end. The railway
officials believe that the new plan will
prove pleasing to Kenosha people just
as soon as they get used to it.
It is certain that the plan will go
"a long way toward eliminating cross
ing collisions between street cars and
vehicles.
It is probable that in the near
future the council will order copies
of the new traffic ordinance for gen
eral circulation in the city. Many of
the provisions of it are now being en-
forced BY the police department.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1918.
Wall Street Abuses.

Tn consequence Of recent court de-
sion, Wall street banks are consider
abb, exercised again over their morn
ing loans. Formerly these transac-
lions were called CONGRATULATIONS,
but, as overcertifcates is criminal
offense. that term is not considered
polite. In effect the banks simply
hand out to Stock Exchange brokers
as much money as the brokers think
they will need during the day to buy
stocks with. Having bought the stocks
the brokers turn them over to the
banks, by three o'clock, as security for
the money advanced in the morning
But if a broker happens to fail before
three oiclocl- the bank may be left
holding the bag. Mere commercial
borrowers give security before they
get the money-not afterward. In no
other line of business, so far as we are
aware, is it the practice for banks to
furnish their patrons with money to
buy things that will subsequently be
pledged to the bank as security for
the loan.
PROFESSIONALLY this is an abuse of
bank credit. 1t illustrates, first, the
bad banking system that makes the
Stock Exchange preferred borrow
err; and, second, the sharp competition
among the banks, which makes them
go to unreasonable lengths in bidding
for Stock Exchange business.
This is one Of the abuses an honest,
intelligent examination of Wall street
might hope to remedy But the street,
on the whole, is so far superior to the
investigation the money trust commit
tee is conducting that we have small
appetite for Investigations. The an
nouncement proceeding from that COM
mittee, to the effect that it may be
found advisable to exclude clearing
house associations from use Of the
mails, makes us wish for a Wall street
committee to investigate Congress and
report to the country whether there is
any reasonable prospect Of reform
ing it.
