WHAT 1T STANDS FOR.

What has the so-called citizens
ticket TO offer IN the way Of good gov
eminent superior TO what will be
given the city OF South Bend by the
candidates on the democratic ticket?
Compare the two tickets. man for
man. and see if in any respect the So
called citizens candidates give prom
ise OF greater honesty, higher degree
Of efficiency or deeper interest in the
welfare OF the city.
The democratic ticket welcomes
this comparison. 1t invites the con-
trast Of purpose and motive.
Behind the democratic ticket is the
party which stands for the principles
and policies that are now controlling
the affairs OF the general government.
q party that cannot afford to elect an
Incompetent or unfit man for office, a
party which is responsible Cor every
act OF its candidates when elected to
Office.
What Is there behind the so-called
citizens ticket? Who will be respOn-
sible for their conduct if the candi-
ddLeS on THIS ltchcL are cttCIeus Wnen
the election is over the so-called Cit
zens party will vanish and be re-
solved into its original factors.
There will be no one behind the
city administration to give it charac-
ter and dependability but the Tribune,
William Happ and Fred w. Keller.
Do the people Of South Bend want
city government controlled by a
syndicate?
That is not the popular idea Of pop
ular government. The prospect does
not appeal 10 the intelligent, public
spirited citizen.
The so-called citizens ticket stand:
for nothing the good citizen of South
Bend wants.

SOMETHING MENTALLY WRONG

The engineer or the LOGON olive
which plowed its way through two
Pullman coaches near New Haven
says a fog partly obscured his vision
and prevented him from seeing the
signal TO stop.
Then why did he not move with
greater caution until he ascertained
whether the signal was set against him
or not9 In most cases where acct
dents bring the conduct of engineers
10 public notice 1t is found they act on
the hypothesis that the track Is clear
and plunge ahead instead Of presum-
ing that the signal might be set
against them.
Their oveEweening desire 10 make
schedule time overcomes their pru-
dence. Their reputation for bringing
trains in on time is OF more import
ance 10 them than the chance OF
killing and manning scores Of people.
In this instance the signal was set
against the oncoming train, but the
engineer couldn't see il because OF the
fog. Instead OF taking proper pre-
cautions he presumed that as he could
not see Il the signal was not there.
The signal system Of the New
Haven railroad may be Anticipated as
charged. but what could any system.
however. perfect. avail against such
bun-headed stupidity and such reok-
lessness Of consequences as that?
There Is something wrong. not so
much with the systems OF danger sig
nails used by railroads as with the
mental attitude OF employees toward
the operation OF trains
IT Is apparent that the employees are
less impressed with the safety idea

On looking back on the past biator-

hard to believe but war was the nor

The art of war has always engaged
the greatest minds. There never ex-
listed a tribe or nation that did not
have its COMMUNICATIVE ana

have always formed the study of the
wisest men. Scattered all over the
world are remains of these fort lica-

excite the wonder and admiration of

Staff Special.
WAsHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The ma
tional capital has received its first
push in the direction of municipality
owned street railways. Representa-
tive Robert Crosser of Ohio has just
introduced into the house of repre-
sentatives a bill which would place
the traction companies of Washington
under public ownership.
81 am convinced that municipal
ownership of the lines in Washington
is now both desirable and practical
BILE" said Crosser. You see, we have
no constitutional obstacles TO sur
mount here. Congress, under the
constitution, has exclusive jurisdiction
over the federal District OF Columbia
and there can be no possible question
of its right TO institute governments
owned and operated street railways.
I'm addition TO this, and most I'M
portant of all, it seems to me, is the
fact that Washington, being the capl-

what IS the present value of the two
street car systems. their rights in the
streets having no value whatever"
II the bill proposed by CrosseT
should pass (and it Will have strong
support in both houses of congress)
the city OF Washington would be the
second city in the United States to
adopt the principle of municipal own
ershiD Of street railways. The city or
san Francisco recently completed the
first city-owned system in the United
states, known as the Gary street line,
and IN the short period Of its exist
ence ii has proven a great success.
While the principle is comparatively
new in the United States, many Eu-
ropean cities have long ago adopted
il.
There are today" continued
Crosser, "in the United Kingdom
only three important cities that do
not own and operate their street rail-
ways. In Glasgow 80 per cent OF the
passengers are carried for a one-cent
fare and in London SO per cent. The
average fare of a passenger in Glas-
gov is 1S9 cents, in Manchester 2.44
cents and in Liverpool 2.45 cents. In
sheffield there are no faxes over two
cents"
The city of Washington has long
suffered under the worst of street
railway systems, tWo-colhpdhy syS-
tenn. Although their lines intersect in
| every direction, the companies have
persistently refused to arrange for in
| terchange Of transfers. In conse-
ouence ii is frequently necessary to
paw two fares TO reach a point in the
, city.
Recently congress created a new
utility commission composed of the
commissioners of the District of CO.
lumbia and placed the street railways
under this commission. The new com
mission has not had opportunity TO do
much as yet.
The new commissioners OF the Dis
trict. Messrs Siddons and Newman,
are understood TO favor municipaliZa-
ton. There is strong support for the
proposition on the house and senate
| district commission.

\ SIGNIFICANT ENDORSEMENT.

Large significance attaches TO the
resolution passed by the American
Bar association, in session IL Mon
treal. indorsing Pres. Wilson'S policy
toward Mexico. 1t would seem that
this expression of popular support Of
the administration. coming from so
high a source. must have a strong in
fiuence on the conduct of Huerta.
The attitude of the provisional pres
ident OF Mexico that public sentiment
is not behind Pres. Wilson's policy is
no longer tenable. Huerta must
abandon 1t If he would not appear
ridiculous. The public. the press and
many organizations Of the high char
acter OF the American Bar association
have voiced their approval.
The United states is firmly fixed in
the conviction that the right course
has been chosen. To adopt any other
would discredit this government in
the eyes OF civilized nations. This
country has but one purpose in the
efforts made to aid Mexico in solving
it's problems. II desires peace. first
for the sake Of Mexico and second for
the welfare OF the peoples OF the
western hemisphere.
The United States is prompted by
the most unselhsh motives. Were it
not the restoration OF a stable govern
ment in Mexico easily could have
been made impossible. Americans
have faith IN the future OF Mexico.

THE REAL SUFFERERS.

Our sympathy is not with those
Who work right through vacation.
They have not tasted OF the sweets
OF summer relaxation.
They may have thought of bubbling
brooks
And trout that lie in shaded streams:
They may have yearned 10 get away,
Or found their hopes in vagrant
dreams.
Yet this but served TO sauce the work
And make the moments quickly fly,
Unlike the change erom rest to toll,
Twas not Ike coming home 10 die.
GOING on a vacation has its ad-
vantages over returning to work. 1t
is full of pleasurable anticipationA
The horizon is golden with promise
The fish bite, the beds are smooth
is delightful, the grub unexceptiona-
able.
All. if the sanguine, trustful re-
sorter could only stop short of reali-
cation and spend his two weeks in
suspended ecstacy!
