Here Is the Grand Test of
Your Faith in Your Courts!

Your Falth I'm Tour courts!
low much confidence have we in our
courtsf
That Is the question, the important
question, which win be raised in the
street car election
The question Of municipal ownership
win not be raised that has already
been decided fayorably.
The question Of price win not be
raised for no one knows what the price
win be.
The question win be: Can we rely on
our circuit court, and after that. on our
supreme court, to fix fair price for
the city to pay for the d. U. RI
And there win be further question:
Are the terms Of payment tstill to be
determined between the d. u. r. and
ths street railway board) satisfactory to
The cityi
AT first glance. It looks as If the peo-
pIh d Detroit are being asked to buy a
pig - poke.
They are asked to consent to q bar
rain, knowing what they are to receive,
but ignorant Of what they win have to
pay.
10 . Suspicious man, IL may look as If
The d. u. R. has hooked" the commits
sioners.
The company has rejected the car
boards bid. and has said that II win be
satis6sd with the decision Of the courts
- TO fair price.
IN saying this, It knows that it has
q IT. disposal an army Of experts,
ineludins. unfortunately, employees Of the
stste who are willing to lend their abili-
Hes TO the benefit of anti-public corpora
tious, who win swear that the ID. u. r.
property Is worth almost any price that
the d. u. r. officials want to name.
Il also knows that against this testi-
m0ny, the city has only the word Of the
experts Of the Bemis appraisal
Ia sheer weight, the ID. u. r. position
has al the best Of 1t; but it cannot be
denied that the car board has shrewd
hwyers and skillful engineers on its side,
msn with reputation for probity which
should 60 far in court Of chancery.
On the other hand, no street railway
corporation, apparently, has ever re-
ceived less than several millions above a
fair price. in any court procedure.
In Chicago, It is generally admitted,
the value of the railways, fixed by the
courts, was exorbitant.
In Cleveland. value was fixed which
WAS known to be millions Of dollars too
high.
It IL true that n neither Of these cases
was an actual sale contemplated; the
courts were merely fixing a value on
which the roads should be allowed to
earn interest.
Perhaps, IL an actual sale were in ques-
ton, they would have been more careful
IA fixing price.
The courts have always been the first
and last refuge Of public service corpora
lions, and they have usually stood nobly
BY the cause Of private capital.
On the other hand, the Wayne county
circuit court has been the bulwark of the
people for many years.
Case after case has come before the
circuit bench, to be decided in favor of
the people.
Where the people have been the losers
has been in the length Of the fight, and
the holding-up Of important benefits.
But IN this instance. the benefits are
promised as soon as the people vote to
take over the railroad.
The fight win come later, while the
people are in fun enjoyment Of the prop.

Zion again crowded to its capacity
last Sunday night. Pastor Jones SER
mon on Jonah was we'll received. He
said that Jesus Christ as the highest
source of truth, declared that as
Jonah was three days in the whale,
we must accept this as against all
scientific objection. A number OF
our colored troops were present on
invitation of Mr. Alberga of the Wei
fare League which is doing such
splendid service among our people on
the coast. An informal reception was
given the soldiers in the parlors OF
the church after services. Next Sun
day promises to be another record
breaking day when a minister from
the conference will occupy the pull
pit. At night Pastor Jones will
preach on 1--WE can be free, only by
