The Street Car

Public sentiment is surely swing
ing toward the public-serNice corpo-

ceptions.
The people are slowly but surely
learning to rely on the willingness,
to recognize the eagerness of the
street railways to render satisfactory
service.
The public and the public-service
corporations are almost inseparable.
Injure one. and you inflict punish
ment on the other.
I know of no agency in any COM
munity in all the country that con-
tributes more to the comfort and to
the convenience of people than the
surface lines. Tie them up and how
soon you understand.
The improved and the cleaner cars,
the present-day courtesy of employees.
the frequent schedule, the suburban
accommodations, the evident improve
ment in so many ways, and the proof
that the companies know it pays bet
ter to serve than just to save, have
brought about a great change in pub
lie opinion.
One street car line has been of
great value to me personally, for it
has made a small property look three
times as valuable to snose who would
like to buy 1t. And I am wondering

GOOD WORK

THANKS to Coroner Eckinger's S
clever detective work, the man
who was driving the car that
ran down George Donahue near Hum
melstown on Thursday night and then
sped away. leaving the victim gasping
out his last breath by the roadside,
has been brought to justice.
The Coroner, summoned in the mid
die of the night to the scene of the
accident, arrived there before the
bady was cold. Forming his own con-
clusions from the circumstances he
spent the remainder of the night in
search of the guilty party and as a
result the mystery of the killing has
been cleared completely.
Coroner Eckinger exceeded the re-
quired duties of his office to do this.
Nobody would have complained had
he postponed his investigation until
the day following the accident. But
had he done so it is extremely likely
that the reckless driver would never
have been apprehended. Credit should
be given where credit is due, and in
this instance the Coroner is deserving
of praise for good work we'll done.

Good Samaritanism

white paper damaged. Monday morn

printed on the presses of the Evening
Mail. on paper loaned by Mr.. Hearst.
Practically every daily newspaper in
New York proffered to Mr.. Munsey
the use of presses and equipment. The
usual courtesy-yes, happily. But can
you name, offhand, any other industry
in which this same sort of courtesy is
SO common that 1t attracts little atten-
ton? Can you recall the name of any
manufacturer, in some line other than
that of newspaper-making. who placed
his plant at the disposal of a rival.
who had burned out, in order that
such rival might beSable to fill his con-
tracts on time? There is no other
business In which competition is
keener than in that of publishing
newspapers. Is there any other In
which Mr.. Munsey's experience of
Sunday night could be duplicated? Is
LIS not a fine thing to be privileged to
work in an industry where Samaritan

ONE OF THE RESULTS

NNE of the results of the meddling
of President Wilson and Con-
gress in a legislative way with
the railroad dispute is the sympathetic
strike in New York. What is food
for the goose is food for the sander,
and what is good in the mind of the
administration for the railroad train
men other organizations figure out is
good for them. In a sense they are
right. The interference of the Presi-
dent should have been on behalf of
all public utility workers, or none. AS
it is, he has simply aroused those who
have been left out in the cold to the
feeling that they have been unjustly
treated. Congress. they observe, has
pronounced the eight-hour day de-
sirable for one class of railroad men
and they naturally ask, why not then,
for all? The result is such .distur-
Dances as threaten grave industrial
disorder in New York.

Carries Three More States

The optimism of the youthful chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee knows no bounds. The late
Calvin Brice enjoyed the reputation of
being some rainbow chaser, but COM
pared to Vance Mccormick he was
what the sporting men would call a
piker. The Field Marshal of the Will
son forces wears rose colored glasses
constantly, and the more he looks
the outlook. Before dinner the other
day he carried Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois for the Watchful Waiter and
had tucked them carefully away with
the numerous other States he had al
ready placed in the Wilson column.
1t is beautiful to have such a hope
full disposition, and it helps wonder :
actualities of life. Chairman McCor-
mick says that he has a perfect or
ganization, that it is working in
absolute harmony, that his candidate
is Irresistible, that the people are per-
fectly wild over the accomplishments
of the Democratic party, and that
everything is over but the shouting!
How truly beautiful! What dazzling
picture to present to the American
people! Under the circumstances is
1t any wonder that the standard
bearer of his party should be too proud
to light?
1t seems shame to disturb such a
delightful vision. One is almost
tempted to permit Vance to dream on.
Probably he will until the night be-
fore election and after that he will
have an awakening that will seem like
a nightmare. In the meantime 1t really
looks as Ii he were working overtime
in making claims for his candidate. If
he keeps on at this rate there will be
nothing for the people to do on that
momentous day in November. And
yet there Is a certain kind of
philosophy in claiming everything. 1t
can be done safely now while the

"SOME LITTLE BUG IS GOING TO
FIND YOU SOME DAY"

In these days of indigestion.
1t is often times question,
AS to what to eat and what to leave
alone;
For each microbe and bacillus
Has different way to kill us,
And in time they always claim us
for their own.
There are germs of every kind,
In any food that you can find,
In the market or upon the bill of
fare.
Drinking waters just as risky
AS the so-called deadly whisky,
And it's often a mistake to breathe
the air.
Some little bug is going to find you
some day,
Some little bug will creep behind you
some day,
Then he'll send for his bug friends
And all your earthly trouble ends;
Some little bug is going to find you
some day.
The inviting green cucumber
Gets most everybody's number,
While the green corn has a system
of its own,
Though a radish seems nutritious,
Its behavior is quite vicious,
ana a DOCTOR Will De coming TO your
home.
Eating lobster. cooked or plain,
Is only flirting with ptomaine,
While an oyster sometimes has lot
to say.
But the clans we eat in chowder
Make the angels chant the louder,
For they know that We'll be with
them right away.
Some little bug is going to find you
some day,
Some little bug will creep behind you
some day,
Then he'll get into your gizzard;
If you lose him you're a wizard;
Some little bug is going to find you
some day.
Take slice of nice fried onion,
Ando you're fit for DR.. Munyon,
Apple dumplings kill you quicker
than a train.
Chew a cheesy midnight rabbit
And a grave you'll soon inhabit
All, to eat at all is such a foolish
game.
Eating huckleberry pie
Is a pleasant way to die
While sauerkraut brings softening
of the brain.
