A MODEL FOR OUR STREET CARS
The Christiana System PIeases It's
 Patrons for 3Cent Fare

There is a wholesome example for American street railwa" companies to follow in the street car system of Christiana. according to Henry D. Bak- CT, the American commercial attache at Petrograd. who has been visiting the former city. He describes it as "the handsome and well laid out capital of Norway" The Hartford Courant gives the following summary of his report which describes tine Christiana street car system:
 MT. Baker has been writing to the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce about Christiana's luxurious locking street cars" which he had an opportunity to observe while stopping over q few hours on his way to Petro- grad. He found them conspicuous for their large windows and elegant cur tains. There are no straps for passen- gers although there is a convenient grip for standees at the top of the seat, which always faces forward and not sideways.
 MT. Baker observed that the cars are all kept scrupulously clean, and on the platforms are small receptacles for waste paper, used up tickets. etc which removes the temptation to throw such things on the floors of cars. Some of the cars run out to the hills about Christiana. where for seven months of the year there is plenty of skiing and snowshOeing. So on the outside of the cars are hooks, upon. which the skis and snowshoes may be hung to avoid taking them into the cars. Why in the world should a street car company bother itself with such consideration for the comfort and convenience of it's patrons? Besides. the company sees to it that the conductors are all neatly uniformed.
 The fare on cars within the city pro- per is the equivalent of three cents. It looks as if the. trolley magnates of Christiana are really giving too much for the money. They ought to come to America and learn how to economize.

The Chicago Murder

No punishment-even capital punishment-can be too severe for permitted the steamer Eastland be boarded by 25OO picnckers at Chicago last Saturday morning. Every respon sible officer the company having charge of the Eastland should be punished in the measure of his responsibiity They knew, as everybody else knew. that the Eastland unsafe and had always been. least twice before she had turned over. It must have been evident that with the unusual load of persons. she would more likely than not repeat that performance. there chance that she would not and the gambling lessees took the chance They bet the lives of 2500 men. women against the paltry amount of the fares they paid the steamer would return safely IL was a long shot. they lost. bettors against great odds usually Here a strange reversal too. betting of incidentally large amount on the against few insignificant dollars
 The men the boats officers. immediately in charge Eastland have been somewhat at fault. She may not been quite skill fully handled as Possible the chief element of danger lay in the vessel. that such an accident likely happen anywhere. better that it should happen where it did within few feet of and rather than out on the lake where probably all the passengers would have been
 May there be no farce in the business of fixing the responsibility this wholesale murder at Chl cago as there in the trial that followed the burning of the General Slocum few In that case the old captain of the old fire-trap the penitentiary for ten years and tie escaped with the loss of practically worth less steamer The captain far less to blame. He had no motive in filling the Socum with human freight. while had the motive of cupdity W hch inspires crimes from murder down petty larceny
 If these men of the Ezastand dealt with as they deserve be. the tendency of ship owners or lessees to trifle human life for few hundred dollars a check.

MEN WHO DIE IN WAR

IL is, of course the men physically fittest who are the victims of war. In France. Germany and other ma tions which enforce universal mili- tary service the men who died may or may not be the bravest and wor- thiest- In Great Britain, the one European belligerent which relies upon voluntary service, there is an other aspect.
 With much reasonableness it may be claimed that the best of the Britt ish stock is volunteering for the war. Already 50000 Britons have been slain. and the end is not approached. What will become of a race which permits the sacrifice of its best and permits it's less worthy sons to re main in safety? Will not the con tinental nations. which compel the best and the worst to fight and to die side by side, preserve a better and sturdier stock after ,the war is over2
 This is not advanced as an argu- ment for conscription even by the Englishmen who are most sincerely convinced of the desirability of com- pulsory service. But not a few Eng lishmen. who are concerned for the future of their nation, have come to view with alarm the sacrifice of the best and bravest and the preserva- ton of the shirkers.
 Great wars in the past have re- suited in the killing off of the best men of many nations. They have re- suited. too. in great mortality among women and children. Pestilence and famine have followed armies through devastated countries and have largely increased the total of destruction. Many generations have been required to restore races to their normal standards of efficiency.
 But in the present war very few women and children are being killed. Even if England loses her best men she will retain her best women. and the traits of national excellence may he transmitted through the mothers of tomorrow. If England's total of 50. GOO slain is increased many fold she will still retain her British ideals. and the example of the men who voluntarily gave their lives for pos terity's welfare will of itself be an inspiring and ennobling influence Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CONSCRIPTION

England is slowly but surely coming to conscription, as necessary war measure. The conscription of Russia and France is what saved her from defeat at the front since the war be- gan. England cannot do her full share in the war. and cannot assume a de- sirable authority at the coming peace conference unless she does what her allies have done. No Briton can glory in tho immunity of his country from conscription so long as his country is saving his life by the grace of con scription on the part of brave allies Montreal Daily Mail.

WHY IT COSTS TOO MUCH

Could anything be more wasteful than the method of delivering milk in the city? It takes on the average nine wagons to carry the bottle to each block, when one could do the business just as well. and so much easier.
 In Washington, where the govern ment has just completed an investiga- tion, the retail millImen drive about 5000 miles a day when there are only 500 miles of streets. Each one of the 25O wagons drives over IS miles a day. If they could drivide up the territory to avoid duplication of routes, each wagon would need to drive only two miles day to cover the city.
 This practice is about as sensible as having a farmer hitch 10 horses to a buggy or for a railroad company to put ten conductors on trolley car.-

"WHY GERMANY WENT TO WAR"

Long after the details of the present war are forgotten, when friendship reigns again among the peoples of this world. and someone asks: What did the nations fight for in 1912" The man who knows will reply: Germany fought to break down the outworn ord CT of things. America and France had fought and suffered. a century and more before. to establish the right of freedom of the individual. Germany fought to secure the right of freedom and natural growth of nations. She suffered much, but she won for the world justice and liberty, and estab- fishing among the nations what had long been in force among individuals the efficiency test of superiority."-D Edmond von Mach, in Why Europe It at War;" published by Putnam.

An Incentive to Patriotism or m..rimony

Of late years though. since the rights o have been Hberaly defined. b3chelors been little interfered with. They been the objects of pity envy according to views which married men acquire on the sub ject of matrimony Some attempts we believe. have made by this country to tax bach elors. but such tax being in the of penalty, is plainly unconstitutional The right of every man enjoy life liberty and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed him and therefore, must be his right to O commit any act do anything which would restrict his freedom.
 In Great Britain the conscription question has been brought the front by the failure of the government obtain recruits by enlistment The volunteer system said not only intellectual. unfair. Thousands of married men impelled by patriotism have their families to go to the front while thousands of bachelors. without other home ties than dogs and horses and chorus girls. have preferred the of peace

THE HECkLER HECKLED

Mrs. William H. Thompson, wife of Chicago's new mayor did much to help her husband win. Mrs. Thompson, in the days when it was deemed unwomanly to want to vote, was once prevailed on' to make a suffrage speech. She spoke superblyr but. in the midst of her argument. a youth with a cigarette yelled:
 Don't you wish you were a man?" Don't you?r said Mrs. Thompson. and went right on with her argu- ment again.
 A few minutes later the heckler. having recovered, tried another bout with the fair speaker.
 Don't you think mothers ought to stay home with their children?" he demanded.
 T think said Mrs. Thompson. that children ought to stay home with their mothers"
 And then. as well as the applause would let her, she went right on again.-Was shingtOn Star.
