Feared = Director Taylor
Won't Comment.

An effort to obtain city franchise for
an omnibus line on the principal streets
will be made today at the meeting Of
Common Council. For days a story has
been current that part of the program
of opposition to the subway proposition
was to be a petition for an omnibus line,
on the plea that it would relieve the
need for improved traffic facilities. This,
the story ran. would he seized upon as an
excuse to delay action on the subway.
Walter G. McIntire, an electrical con-
tractor at l2 North Fifth street, is the
man in charge of the omnibus project
He is related to George c. Pierre, of the
Board of Registration Commissioners. The
belief that the scheme may be urged as
substitute for other transit plans is
supported by statement issued by Nc
Intre for the United Traction Improve
mcnt Company, which will operate the
line.
McIntire says: "'The petition for the
franchise puts the question of immediate
relief of passenger traffic conditions in
the residential sections squarely up to
the city goNornment.'
in the days when the omnibus line was
SAID the plan might be used to divert
attention from the transit proposition be-
fore Councils
"Of course a bus line never would take
the place of subway" said one nan
prominently concerned in the subway
plans but at the same time, those op-
posed to the subway migbt use T. as
a prctoNt for DELAYING action

POETS AS WAGE FARMERS

1t is pleasing to learn, from professor who has
looked into the matter and ought to know, that
Shakespeare had an income of $4,000 year during
the latter part of his lfe,-an amount which meant
much more then than now. The world, of course,
cannot pay its whole debt to the Bard of Avon in
coin and attempted it, yet there is satisfac-
ton in knowing that he got some slight fraction
of it before his act and he left the stage
Poets as rule have not been much at wage earn
ing. The masters among them have received the
worlds praises,-after they have dice, and pub
fishers have collected the receipts if any. Cash
has been paid to poets for their efforts, but seldom
very generously.
Fair-mnded persons get feeling Of shame when
ever they think about the insignificant pay Milton
received for his Paradise Lost even though they
may never have read the masterpiece and therefore
may not fully appreciate the blind poets works.
Everyone who knows anything about it at all, rea-
Lies that Mlton's cash receipts were not at all
in proportion to his genius.
The world places cash value mechanical and
professional skill of all kinds, but for poet s
genius, it offers payment principally in honor and
sometimes is niggardly with that.
