better exhibited in this country than IN the
case of one Paul Haffer Of Tacoma who was

uncomplimentary remarks on American nero

Iowa Public Appears to Be wen
pleased With the Service.

Marshalltown Times Republican: A
bill is being pushed hard provlolng
for two men on each street car ana
with some prospects OF success:

EXPENSE to the "soulless corporation
always have in them an elemens
which bids for success.
Marshalltown has one man street
cars where once it was two men 10
each car. It has most excellent
street car service where under the
old conditions it had a poor one. Ihe
public appears to be well pleased
with the one man service as II
stands. The men who operate the
cars are satisfied and on inquiry
state that they do not desire 9
change. The company wants It.
The men draw better wages and the
company is enabled to hire better
men because the one man car en-
ables it to pay better wages.
The case being thus why should
the smaller cities be forced to a two
man program? 1t means great
deal more t. the smaller cities than
to the larger ones. There is no
question of two-man cars in larger
cities. They become necessary to
the proper end safe operation Of the
cars and profitable handling of the
traffic. But in smaller cities where
one good man fairly paid can and
does operate car safely and to the
satisfaction of the public, affording
a larger number of cars in use, to
the profit of himself, the public and
the company employing him why
should statute force the employ

In the smaller cities which this bill
particularly affects extensions come
slowly. Street car lines are not
highly profitable ventures in most
smaller cities and extensions come
slow. Why force expense on lines
and towns where the public, the en-
ployes and the employers are all
opposed to such change?

lature might with great advantage

CUBA WAS WARNED.

The Cubans were distinctly warned by the
United States government at the time Of the
1906 occupation that the next Intervention
would be the last one. The threat was too
clear to be misunderstood; it meant that the
next time the United States flag had to be
raised over Havana it would never be hauled
down. Whether President Wilson would carry
that warning into effect, in case he had to send
United States troops into the island, no one
knows. We should be confident that no jingo-
istc aspirations would control him. Yet the
fatuous recklessness of the Cuban politicians
who are virtually melting third American in
PREVENTION within period of twenty years is
painfully apparent. They are imperiling the in
dependence of their country as it has never been
imperiled before.

town where the men signed pro-
test against two men cars.
The one man car is approved here
by the public. Extensions are being
made, service is excellent and safe.
The cars are on time manned by men
who know their business and who
desire to keep their jobs and the
promise is for better things. The
attempt to force unnecessary en-
ployes upon the street car companies
in minor cities should fail. In effect
1t is a movement against efficiency
instead of push toward progress.

RIDING A FREE HORSE TO DEATH.

In no other business is there a demand for SO
much free service as in that pertaining to the
publishing of newspaper. The space of
newspaper is a commodity, just as is flour, or
sugar or potatoes It has a fixed value but
the publisher faces daily demands for donations
of what he has to sell and very largely from IN
dividuals and from institutions that can we'll
afford to pay their way. At recent meeting of
the California Press association, the following
resolutions bearing on this question were
adopted
Whereas the demand for free publicity has in
creased so as TO become great to the
newspapers; and
Whereas, there publicity

The resolution Of the California publishers IS
therefore timely, and it applies with equal force
to conditions in every newspaper office through

something for nothing would hardly ask ms
