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
in the same condition they were be-
fore being torn up. !
Now, if you really want to keep
traffic off those streets, quit paving
other streets with asphalt Said
pavement is a joke, like rubber in
summer, making team pull twice it's
load, which. no humane driver will
do, and in winter is slippery and not
fit to travel because a horse wants
something to dig his toe chalks in.
Or enforce a five-minute rule for
loading or unloading at curb, keep

A WORKERS POEM
Dear Editor:-Im often reader of
The Day Book. Also very interested
in the future of that adless paper. I'm
an unskilled workingman, so have
little time to spare. Enclosed you will
find few words which we're 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 civil
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 a 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.

Case m Court r33
 Years IS Settled

ROME-In 17S1 the Count Sal amone of Serraville brought an ac- tion against the commune of Salu- sola Biellese for the violation of water right The case has continu- ed for 133 years, and was only set tied recently by compromise.
 Meanwhile the Salamone estates had been sold several times, but each new proprietor kept the action going. while every successive mayor of the commune handed the defense of the town as heritage to his successor. Each party had spent a small fortune in sustaining through out the years their respective rights, but meanwhile the peasants of the district were deprived of their drink ing water.

Movie Actress Sees
 Herself Injured

TUCSON, Ariz-It is only to the moving picture actor that the plea sure of seeing ones self as others see us is granted. Recently Mrs. Hal Wilson, wife of moving pic ture company's assistant manager, sat in the opera house and showed her husband just how and when and just where she broke two of her ribs while acting.
 In the middle of the second reel Mrs. Wilson was chased up the stairs of a house to the roof by an escaped monkey. She jumped through window and onto the roof, Mr Monkey followed and Mrs. Wilson in her desperation" made a 20-foot jump through skylight onto a table in the room below.
 The skylight should have given way when Mrs. Wilson hit it, but it had been raining and the wooden supports were swollen so that the skylight hung" and the force of her fall broke one of the heavy sup ports, causing her to break two ribs and be laid up for six months.

Officers of Steamer
 MayAower Removed

NEW YORK, July 14.-Several so- cials scandals are threatening to grow out of the summary removal by or der of the navy department of all of the officers of the United States steamer Mayflower. That the off cers have been guilty of much inn proper conduct is the charge made against them.
 The officers are charged with having entertained women aboard the vessel under conditions that are not considered socially proper. and that champagne and other wines have been used too freely at such times is one of the allegations made against them.
 The Mayflower is a beautiful dis patch boat It was used by former President Roosevelt when he bade good bye to the Atlantic fleet when the latter started on it's memorable tour of the world a few years ago. It also carried the presidential party that met the cruiser Montana recently when it brought the bodies of the dead American marines from Vera Cruz.

Local Ball Teams
 Play Good Games

Although the playing was nothing sensational the ball game yester- day afternoon at Exposition park between the Van Daycks and the MarQuettes was pleasing from start to finish to the crowd of fans in attendance. The Van Dycks won the contest, the score being 10 to l, but they had to fight for every tally they secured.
 The Van Dycks made their first runs in the first inning and 1t seemed that they were going to have walk-away winning the games. However, the Marquettes managed to keep them from scoring during the next two innings, mak- ing run for themselves in the fourth The Van Dycks were also shut out in the sixth and ninth, but made two runs in each of the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth innings.
 The lineup for the game was as follows
 Van Dyckes-Fred Wood, c; Logan, D: Parks, 1b; Kicker, 2b; Frank Wood, s.s: Pauli. 3b; Carr. If; Clausen, of: Cathcart. If.

By the time that the officers reached the place. however, the robbers had made their escape.
 When the robbers entered tie place, they demanded that the agent throw up his hands. This he refused to do, and reaching for the telephone, attempted to call for assistance. Just as he had taken the receiver off the hook, he was sandbagged, and the receiver fell with a jerk.
 At the other end of the line Central" was asking for mum Der, please" when she heard the talk of the robbers and under stood what was going on. 1m- mediately she informed the po- lice station, and officers were hurried to the scene.
 It seems that the robbers, however, saw the police coming in time to make their escape.

ROME, Italy, June 14.-Serious in surrection has broken out in various parts of the country, almost simul- taneously. the purpose being, it is declared by the insurgents, 10 over throw the government and convert Italy into a republic. Troops have been rushed to the place where the worst rioting is being conducted, and an effort will be made to stop the rebellion before it gains much more headway.
 According to the reports that have been received here, churches are be- ing pillaged and various public buildings are being ruined by the rioters The government officials have little to say in regard to the condition of affairs. but they declare that they are confident of their abili- ty to restore peace at an early date.
 While the various outbreaks were sudden, they have not been entirely unexpected, for there has been much public dscontent for some time in various parts of the country.
 Inasmuch as the rioters are not regularly organized and are not working in accordance with system atic plans, il is not believed that they will accomplish much in the matter of overthrowing the present government.

 When the Guerrero was close upon her fleeing foe, there was loud explosion in the latter and parts of the rebel vessel were thrown high into the air. The explosion was explained by the breaking of steam pipe, which it is believed was cut by a shell from the Guerrero.
 The disabled vessel soon began to sink, and the victorious Guer- rero stood by until the Culiacan lurched forward, and went down. The Guerrero sailed away, evidently not wanting to come again within the range of the rebel batteries near Mazatlan.
 The bombardment of the city Of Mazatlan continues, and the people of the city have been trying to get the military officers to surrender in order to keep them from starving.
