WAGONS ON CAR TRACKS
Editor Day Book:-In One Mans
Opinions on improvements of street
car traffic, you state car tracks were
made for cars, not wagons, to run
on, also that there are other streets
for horse traffic. Let's have another
opinion, this time from a driver of
horses. That's the old lame excuse
of the car companies for not putting
on more cars blame it on the driver
of horses.
There are very few streets fit for
team traffic without car tracks upon
them, as tracks are on all long dia-
gonal streets and Cross practically all
bridges and viaducts, on some leav-
ing no space between track and curb.
Did you ever notice that between
the tracks the pavement is level and
in good condition, while between
track and curb it slopes very danger
Gus to both beast and skidding of
cart. to say nothing of the many
holes and ruts, for which bless the
gas, electric light, telephone and
other corporations for not replacing

fore being torn up.
Now, if you really want to keep
traffic OFF those streets, quit paving
other streets with asphalt Said
pavement is joke, Ike rubber in
summer, making team pull twice its
load, which no humane driver will
do, and in winter is slippery and not
fit to travel because a horse wants

A WORKERS POEM
Dear Editor:-Im a often reader Of
The Day Book. Also very interested
in the future of that adless paper. I'm
an unskilled workingman, so l have
little time to spare. Enclosed you will
find few words which were written
by me while thinking about our pres
ent injustice and misery:
What Is the Use ???
What is the use of that beautiful
weather?
When we cannot enjoy it.
What is the use of that fine house?
When we cannot live in it.
What Is the use of all the good food?
When we cannot have it.
What is the use of all governments?
: When their main object is tyranny.
What is the use of all man-made
laws?
When there is no justice.
What is the use of our present civili-
zation?
When we are still in slavery.
What is the use of our present educa-
ton?
When most of our future genera
ton is forced to drop it very
early, while few mighty ones
take the best of it.
hope it will come time
When right will make might,
When men will realize that no man
can be real happy
When most of us are unhappy,
Or all of us cannot be real happy
When one is unhappy.
Jas. Goodman.
