CITY WINS STEP
T0"L'' OWNERSHIP
Illinois Supreme Court Decision
Favors Chicago in Fight
Against Monopoly.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-A decision of
the Illinois supreme court has opened
the way for municipal ownership of
the elevated roads in Chicago.
The decision was handed down in
test cases instituted by the states at
torney against the Union Elevated
Railway company, commonly known
as the 'loop," and the Union Consoh-
dated Elevated company.
The states attorney alleged that the
respondents fraudently had issued
stocks and bonds in excess of the linn
itations prescribed by the constitution,
the penalty of which is forfeiture Of
franchise.
Information was first filed by the
state with Circuit Judge Windes, who
ruled against the complainant. Now
the supreme court has reversed the
decision.
The supreme courts reversal opens
the way for the complete prosecution
of these proceedings and life proceed
ings against all the other elevated
roads in the city, which are operating
under 55-year franchises, from which
the city receives practically no reve-
nue. for the use of it's streets and al
leys.
The roads must now come into
court and show that they have not
watered their stock. If they can not
show this their franchise may be for
feited.

PARTY CHIEFS GIVE

Gratis Opposed.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Should
prohibition be made a party issue in
She campaign of 1916? If not then,
in any of the great party platforms
four years later?
With prohibition under daily dis
cussion in Europe and America, the
New York World sought to learn from
the leaders Of the three great politi-
cal parties whether prohibition is like
ly to be made an issue in the next
election or in the succeeding one.
Moose Strong for Prohibition.

responded In greatest numbers to the

the same number Of leaders of each
party. A'large majority of the pro-
gressive committeemen's answers IA
vor prohibition and few declare for
a prohibition plank in the next pro-
gressive national platform.
William Allen White, the celebrated
Kansas editor, who is the bull moose
committeeman from his state, is the
conspicuous dissenter. He believes that
If the, Progressives alone stood for ma
tional prohibition they would go down
to worse defeat than in last years
elections in the eastern states.
Democrats Are Opposed.
All the Democratic replies were
against prohibition as a party issue.
Senator Joseph L. .Bristow Of Kan
sas, who announced his return to the
Republican party at the beginning of
the present year, advocates prohibit
ton as a plank for the Republican
party. So do Senator's Works of CAL
ifornia and Clapp Of Minnesota, but
both of them have been considered
more independent than Republican in
their allegiance. -..>.~, /
Senator Gallinger Of New Hamp-
shire, the only "old guard" Republi-
can responding to the question, be-
heves it more likely that either the
Republican or the Democratic party
or both may indorse an amendment
submitting national prohibition to the
several states for determination. Sem
ator Gallinger does not count on a
third party in his discussion. Il IA II

Lucid Directions.

The directions that an automobilist
got on Long Island, when he asked a
small boy the way to Oyster Bay, are
almost worthy Of place beside the
famous reply that Lancelot Gobbo
made to his father when the old man
inquired of him the way to Master
Jews. The boy looked thoughtful,
says the New York Evening Post, and
then replied:
Go straight up there, and you'll
pass where the watermelon field was
three years ago: then go on straight,
and you'll pass where the corn was
two years ago. Turn TO your left, and
turn to your right after that, and then
turn to your right again. and you'll

WHAT is THE MATTER7

As one state after another outlaws
the drink traffic the astonished liquor
men ask. What's the matter, any
way?" That question is easily an
swered. The thing that's all wrong is
liquor itself, and the people are find
ing it out. The dispensary plan: the
high license plan; the government
owned saloon; the family liquor store:
Sunday closing; early closing: strict
supervision; abolishment of free
lunch, music, tables and games; the
system of having only one saloon to
SO many population; local OPTIONAL
of these are mere subterfuges. They
are quack remedies. They do not go
to the root of the evil which is liquor
itself. The only cure for the liquor
evil is the complete prohibition OF its
manufacture and sale in the whole ma

CAPITAL AND LABOR BENEFIT.

When the Brunswick-Balke-Col
der company some time ago announced
its intention of disseminating the man
ufacture of bar fixtures. because there
was no longer a demand for them
since prohibition had closed SO many
saloons. the liquor press sent up a
howl declaring that prohibition had
thrown hundreds of men employed by
this company out Of work. Investiga-
tion has shown, however, that the
company had received immense orders
for Edison phonograph cases and sim
liar work and that not one man has
been discharged as a result for the
diversion of the work into different
channels. Not only this, but it is
asserted that the number Of men en-
ployed will be increased rather than
diminished, and the change is general

by the closing OF saloons. Since the
many thirst parlors have closed their
doors and paid off their help the

Last years figure was mills. This
year it is 81 mills. The net reduc-
tion for the two funds amounts to half

County officials explain the reduc-
tion in the court expense levy by the
fact that dry conditions have greatly
reduced the number of cases. When
the saloons were running on all six
cylinders, a big percentage OF cases
were of the intoxication variety. With

At length they came out into the
busy mart The old mahout congratu-
lated himself upon the docility of his
find. It would stifren the bidding to
announce that she was gentle. He
even went so far as to pat her on the
shoulder. The steel film did not cover
all her nerves, 80 it would seem; the
patted shoulder was vulnerable. She
WINGED. for she read clearly enough

She had made her plans. To the
man who purchased her she would as
| sumo a meekness Of spirit In order to
lull his watchfulness. To the man
who purchased her :. Kathlyn Hare!
She laughed. The old man behind her
nodded approvingly, hearing the sound
but not sensing its import All. when
the moment came. when the fool who
bought her started to lead her home,
she would beguile him and at the first
sign of carelessness she would trust
to her heels. She knew that she was
going to run as never a woman ran
before; back to the beasts Of the jun
gle, who at least made no effort to
molest her so long as she kept out OF
their way.
Wild and beautiful she was as the
old mahout turned her over to pro-
fessional seller.
"Circassian!"
From the north!"
"A bride from the desert!"
"A yellow-hair!"
"A daughter OF the north seas!"
The old mahout squatted close by
and rubbed his hands. He would be .

we'll thatched house to cover his
gray hairs till that day they placed
him on the pyre at the burning CHAT.
The gods were good.
Durga Ram, known Familiarity as
Umballa. at this hour came forth into
the sunshine. brooding. He was not
in a happy frame OF mind. Many
things lay heavy upon his soul; but
among these things there was not one
named remorse. To have brought
about all these failures. this thought
irked him most. Here was a crown al
most within reach of his greedy fin
gers, the water to Tantalus. To have
underestimated this yellow haired
young woman, he who knew women
so well-there lay the bitter sting.
He had been too impetuous; he should
have waited till all her fears had been
allayed. That spawn OF silva. the mil
itary, was insolent again, and rupees
to cross their palms were scarce.
Whittier had she blown? Was she
dead? Was she alive?
The white hunter had not returned
to his camp yet, but the sly Ahmed
was there. The perpetual gloom on
the face OF the latter was reassuring
to Umballa. Ahmeds master had
not found her. To wiring the white
mans heart was something. He dared
not put him out Of the way; too many
knew.
And the Council was beginning to
grow uneasy. How long could he hold
them in leash?
What a woman As magnificent as
the daughter of Firoz. shah of Delhi
