by vote which was significant of the
actual sentiment of the city. 4 90
per cent vote in the affirmative was
necessary to secure a change, but the
plan failed to win even so per cent
of the votes, although a vigorous cam
paign was conducted and Henry Ford
was one of the leading supporters Of
municipal control. The government

are coming to see greater possibilities

The taxicab is a four-wheeled device
which carries passengers to the Union sta
ton and before leaving collects the price
of new set of tires. 1t is a distant rela-

Taxicabs are usually composed of auto
mobiles which have been in the livery
business for twelve years, but have been
rebuilt with fresh coat of paint and
new steering wheel They contain two
cubby holes, one of ample size for a lean
passenger and his overcoat and another
for the driver. These apartments are sep

the driver may keep one eye on the passen-

taxicabs are also supplied with speaking
tube and a cigar lighter, which should be
used with care, as both are attached to
the meter.
The cost price of trip in a taxicab is
determined by the meter, which measures
each mile travelled and converts it into bills

THE SUFFRAGE VOTE.

There is a distinctive feature about
the campaign for equal suffrage which
scarcely NAV be said with truth of any
other great political issue which COM
mands present day attention. 1t never
loses ground. Ground once gained is
permanently gained. Where the wom-
en- are given the ballot they will al
WAYS continue to enjoy that privilege.
1t cannot be taken away from them,
since it may only be taken away with
their consent-an unthinkable thing.
Similarly. defeat which for any 9TH

trous is not final when the issue is the
eufranchisement of women. The four
millions women already enjoying the
franchise are a positive and permanent
guarantee that their sisters some day.

Japan is supposed to be at war, but
her part in the great conflict is neg
lible, being confined in an attack
on certain German possessions IN
Asia some time ago. Japan, like this
country, is gorged with war orders, The
shipments being made mainly to Rus
STA by the way Of Nladivostok.
The munitions factories are bidding
for hands, offering high wages and
taking people from other lines, to the
DISCRIMINATION of all industry. The
laborers are beginning to understand
their own Importance and are fast los
inc the mild docility that has made
them so satisfactory to employers III
the past. They are acquiring new
wants, and after a new standard of
living has been acquired viii find it
impossible to go back to the simple
lives of their fathers. The present
period of great prosperity may, 7he'c-
fore, prove a disadvantage when Japan
seeks to extend her trade after the
war, unless labor increases in efficiency
to match the advance in wages made
necessary by new habits and new con
ditions.

ease and rapidity with which this is done
is startling to the novice who has been
accustomed to receiving a round trip
ticket from the station to the hotel for -
cents. 1t is a heartrending experience to
step out of a snug and odorous taXicab and
face the stern, unrelenting gaze of a we'll
fabricated meter which is faster on it's
feet than the favorite in the , 90 pace.
Many a man. under these circumstances,
has been obliged to return to the hotel
and wire some loved relative for funds with
which to appease the appetite of this mer-
CHESS device
TaXicabs are always driven by reckless
persons who learned the trade by looping
the loop in biplane with the blind stag
gers. These drivers become so expert that
they can shave the fetlocks of furniture
van at thirty miles an hour and roll a
cigarette with the other hand. They are a
valuable adjunct for the man who has
four minutes in which to make the 10 IA
train, buy a sleeper ticket and walk the
full length of the yards in search of his
car, and when it comes to accidents, THEN
batting average is fully 430.

The MeddIer
IF the coat fits you. put Il on"

Probably the one topic that has been
discussed more freely than any other
in BTattleborO during the past week
is the announcement of II. G.. Barber
relative to his plans for a new build
ing on the Ray and Judge properties.
There may be room for discussion
whether Mr.. Barber actually intends
to begin at once the erection of 4
new block or is simply trying to get
the town to make the first move in the
controversy that is probable between
him and it, but so far as The Med
der is able to ascertain there is no
difference of opinion about what the
towns attitude should be in the mat
ter. The feeling is general that Mr..
Barber should get fair recompense
for what land is required to widen and
straighten Main and Flat streets, but
this feeling is accompanied by very
definitely expressed sentiment against
paving any more than the land is actu-
ally worth. In other words, people
generally would like to see the town
acquire the land needed to make the
Improvements under consideration but
are extremely doubtful whether Mr..
Barber is in a mood to negotiate on
terms that would appear reasonable to
anyone but himself.

OF course, it is Mr.. Barber S priv
iiege to take what attitude he pleases
with regard to his own land-and it
is possible that The Meddler has en-
tirely misjudged the attitude he has
taken-but he would make it appear
more as though he wanted to meet the
town halfway in the matter if he
would come out openly with a propo-
sition that the town pay him so much
for what land it wants or leave
the question to board of arbitrator
agreeable to both parties Possibly
Mr.. Barber will get more in actual dol
lars and cents by some other method
of settlement but no one will ever ac-
cuse him of heaping Goals of fire on
the head of the town that has been so
stingy in helping him crafty his po-
litical ambitions.
