The Central Market Proposition.

The advocates of the central mar
ket may not realize that the propo-
sition is already defeated, state
ment that will be fully verified on
the day of the election, which is
fixed for Tuesday, March 4, next.
AS viewed by some enthusiasts,
great things are conjectured, but it
is safe to declare that the majority
of the taxpayers will not approve
the proposed issue of bonds for
SI50,000 market house.
OF what use or good would be
this market house?
Would the cost of meat be re-
duced?
Would the price of vegetables be
lower?
Could not the butchers in the
market house combine and have a
fixed price?
Who would go to market?
Could the city compel the closing
of all the shops and their removal
to the central market, and could the
city prevent the groeers from SELL
ing meats and vegetables and cOun-
try produce
And could the city exclude the
ncddIcrs from the streets, and could

The reports from the polling
places in Shreveport are encourag-
ing to Judge Bell. So are the re-
ports from the precincts in the par

satisfactory to Judge Bell, whose
election is assured, but his friends
should not neglect this duty which
is all important. The citizen who
has not voted should not forget to
vote before I o'clock, the hour al
which the polls must be closed.

CAR TENDERS.
In New Orleans Three Saved From
Death or Serious Injury

There was developed in one day
in the city of New Orleans the efll-
cheney Of the tenders operated on
the electric cars in that city.
These tenders are not makeshifts
nor pretenses for tenders.
Such tenders are more costly than
the so-called tenders in use on the
cars of the Traction Company, but
they are life-savers.
AS related in the States, on Sat
urday at an early hour Ed Norris,
aged II years, stopped on the track
to fix his skates. When the figure OF
the lad first appeared within reach
Of the headlight it had the appear
ance of a large dog. OF sudden the
conductor, when the car was within
ten feet of the figure, realized that
it was a boy He sounded his gong
the louder, applied his brakes,
pressed the trigger which released
the fender and dropped it on the
rails, and threw on his reverse. The
car came to a stop within five feet
of where the fender picked up the
boy. The boy was only slightly
scratched, and after taking off th
roller skates, which he had care
lessly stopped in the middle OF the
track to buckle on more tightly,
made his way unassisted to his
home.
The Markey Accident.
A second illustration was fur
nished by the accident which befell
John Markey, 90 years of age. He
was crossing the intersection Of Tu-
lane avenue and Derbigny street at
6:25 O'clock Saturday morning and,
being very deaf, did not hear an ap-
preaching st. Charles belt car, nor
the shouts of several bystanders.
Motorman Walter Woods sprung
the fender release when he noted
that the old gentleman did not hear
the warning bell, threw on his re-
verse, and the fender saved Mr..
Markey from a death beneath the
wheels, though he suffered some in
iuries about the head through COM
ing in contact with the body of the
car. Had it not been for the fender
he would probably have been
dragged and mangled beneath the
car.
Carried Mrs. Terrio Twenty Feet.
A still more positive proof Of the
efficiency of the fender now in use
was furnished in the accident which
befell Mrs. j. F. Terrio. Mrs. Ter
rio had just alighted from car
outbound, in company with her
daughter and other ladies, and not
hearing any warning sound from
the car which was coming from the
opposite direction, stepped directly
on the track. Her daughter and the
other ladies managed to dodge the
car, but Mrs. Terrio was struck by
the fender, picked up in the net, and
carried distance Of twenty feet or
more before the car was stopped by
the motorman. While she was pain
fully injured and has since suffered
great deal, she yet is thankful that
the fender was there to save her
from a horrible death beneath the
wheels.

Indorses Capital Journal.

. I feel the editors of The Capital
Journal are worthy some bouquets.
Not because they are doing more than
their duty, for placing before its read
ers principle of right and justice,
but because they are right, inasmuch
as they represent the interests of the
people. 1t is the custom of the day to
laud few as heroes while living, but
after they have braved this life, in the
face Of sorest trials and braYest deeds,
and have closed their eyes on scenes
forever here, then they are remembered
as heroes. No expense is spared for
floral and funeral display, when the
faithful are past enjoying them. l
would extort the readers of The Jour.
nal, and everyone else, to learn of their
brave efforts on the side of right to
pay tribute, at times, with a floral
display of encouragement in their
"open Forum" Help to hold up their
hands by making known to them our
appreciation of their untiring efforts.
I think it something of great credit,
that our city can boast of daily col
umns of the press, airing and discuss
ing the problems of interest to every
citizen and property holder.

A Law THAT MAKES GOOD.

r HE Illinois legislature has before
it bill that seems on the face
of it to fill long felt want. 1t
provides that all children born out of
wedlock shall be legitimate, and that
the birth of a child shall constitute a
common law marriage between the pa.
rents, and that it shall take the same
procedure in the courts to dissolve
such marriage as in all other mar.
riages. No provision has been made
for cases wherein one of the parties is
already married, and this is made the
one serious objection to the law. 1t
would seem from this distance at least
that the law needs no other additions,
IL the birth of a child constituted a
marriage, then the law would be worse
on married folks straying "from sim.
pie virtues unseduetive paths" than
on unmarried ones, for by the act they
would commit bigamy, and be respon-
sible criminally, as well as in heavy
damages to the other party. 1t is
law that would cause some thinking as
"a condition precedent.

The atmosphere has been somewhat
cleared, and the council is, we think,
disposed to get in touch with the peo-
pie. We hope so, at least. We would
much rather commend than criticize,
and it certainly is better for the city if
the council, the city administration, the
people and the press all get on a
common ground where we can all boost
together for what the Capital Journal

PORTLAND.

THE BIG Broadway bridge at Port
land was opened for traffic Tues
day with appropriate ceremonies.
1t marks another of the many great
strides Portland has. made toward the
fulfillment of her destiny, toward that
time certain to come, when she will be
the biggest and most beautiful city on
the coast. This may seem foolishly
optimistic statement to those who have
not given the subject much study, but
without being upduly optimistic we be-
Eeve the future, will demonstrate the
truth Of this statement, and that Port
land will eventually take rank above
San Francisco, Los Angeles or Seattle,
and will be the metropolis Of the Pa
cific coast. The immensity of the timber
resources tributary to her, the fertile
valleys lying like string Of emeralds,
between the Cascades and the Coast
range, the unequalled water power of
the state that will some days place the
state in the front rank as manufac-
turer, her situation on the direct line
of traffic between the Orient and our
own east, and Europe, as well as being
on the shortest line of communication
between the great sixth continent, and
her mother country, and more than all
the great cleft in the Cascades, where
Nature as though foreseeing the needs
OF mankind, with mighty hand removed
the mountain barrier, and sent the
great Columbia pouring its majestic
flood through it, to bear the commerce
of the Inland Empire on its broad bo'
som, the Inland Empire itself, veri-
table treasure house, all these are hers.
The completion of the big bridge
yesterday solidifies the city. There is
only one Portland now; the Rose City
of the world, the queen city of the
Pacific, the crowning gem in the great
ring Of the northwestern states, the
pride of Oregon.

THE ATMOSPHERE CLEARING.

THE city council thought better Of it
Monday night and allowed the city
printing to still 60 to both local
papers. We are glad it took this ac-
tion, not on account Of the few paltry
dollars involved, but because the coun-
cilmen acted in a manly way, and con-
sidered the interests of the people rath
or than its own feelings. The Capital
Journal realizes that some Of the coun-
silmen very naturally feel sore and bit
tor towards it. It also feels and be-
lieves that before long this feeling will
pass away, and the councilmen will
know that the Capital Journals course
has been correct. It has stood for the
right, for the brosdest publicity in all
city affairs, for absolutely square deal
ing, for the city officials taking the
people into their confidence, and
against the system of dictatorship that
has gradually grown up in the city
council.
Councilmen have right, as individ.
nails to take opposite views on any
subject to those Of the people, but once
understanding what the latter are, they
should carry them out, for they arg the
peoples representatives and should do
