Pockets of the Poor
A Suggestion That the Railways Do
Their Share of Retrenching
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The street railway companies Of
Manhattan have just served notice on the
public that they intend as soon as the thing
can be done, to increase by two cents the
price of every transfer they issue. Can moth
ing be done to avert this gross injustice?
With view to prepare our minds for this
action, they have placed in all their cars
posters reminding US, first, of the present
high cost of living, and secondly, of the
very large number of people who rode on
free transfers last year.
Concerning this last, the president of the
railways, however, is in error. There were
no free transfers last year. We all paid
our good money for them. No one rode on
free transfers, except, perhaps, the little
children who occasionally begged our trans
fers from US. And it may be-again it is a
perhaps Of the privileged officials of
the roads. The 100000 Mr.. Shonts so
sweepingly speaks of all paid for their
transfers, every blessed one of them. And
certainly the fact that the company might
have charged an extra two cents apiece for
them If they had had the power did not
MAKE lueH liee
As for Mr.. Shonts's second contention,
street railways, like individuals must find
ways &c meet the present high cost of liv-
ing" no one can find fault with that The
president of the companies is in that quite
right. But the way he proposes to do the
thing is not right and in no way fair. The
only just and sensible thing for the COM
~
conditions affect US all. II under these CIR
cumstance what the companies profess is
true, and they cannot meet the high cost
of living, they must retrench.
The plain fact is that our rich corpora
tions have become altogether too much ac-
customed to living on the public and COM
polling US TO keep up their usual dividends
As soon as they get into difficulties their
first thought is to come to the people for
more money. even going to the length when
they have the power, Of flching it from the
pockets of the very poorest. Once let the
poor get IT into their minds that il is they
who support the rich, and not the rich the
poor, and that that is one of the chief rea-
sons why they are kept so poor, and there
will the sooner come 10 an end all this in
justice. The people can and ought to strike
at the oppression of this corporation and re-
fuse to pay the extra fare

SuperHuous Patronage

The unctuous Mr.. A. G.. Gardiner-lf
we are to believe one of our little Irish
American scribblers-has relapsed into
his odious habit of discharging "open let
ters" at his political opponents. Assum-
ing that Sir Edward Carson is determined
to wreck all endeavors to conciliate Ire
land. he proceeds TO admonish him as fol-
lows:
You, who have no title to be in any
British government except as the bringer
of appeascmcnt in Ireland, are using your
position in that government to prevent ap-
peasement If the present negotiations
break down, as seems only too likely, they
will break down because the war, which
has taught the world so much, has taught
you and the little Prussian garrison in
Ulster nothing. They will break down, too,
because while you have not surrendered
to the great spirit of this time Mr.. Lloyd
George has surrendered TO you.
Surely by this time the slippery but
plausible moralist who did his best to per-
suade England to betray Belgium and
France must know that such sermons are
not wanted from one who has as little
credit among Irishmen as among his own
people.
"The Liberal when he is most sympa-
thetic-and who wants his sympathy?-is
most politically immoral SO he was told
by leading journal of the Sim Fem fac
ton when he attacked the garrison in
Ulster" on former occasion; and was he
not duly informed that his motive was
quite transparent, namely, to hoodwink
the Irish Liberals in order that they may
continue their blind-man's buff game of
blaming the Orangemen and cursing
Carson?
"Unutterably sloppy and sentimental
were the epithets used to describe his we'll
meant homiies on the Irish cause. Has
he not learned yet that as "a patron Of Ire
land he is unwelcome?

silently through Dalton like phan-

pIucky American driver in the Win
nipeg-St. Paul dog derby and his
crippled team of Alaskan malamutes
arrived at Granville at one O'Clock
this morning, seventeen miles ahead

With frozen foot and a badly
wrenched knee, the game American
driver, the only Yankee in the held

on foot for several hundred miles
Bad luck has dogged Hartman's trail
since he left Winnipeg. First his lead
dog. one of the smartest In the race
was killed in fight. Then one after
another of the dogs on his team sur
fered with bruised feet, Hartman him
self suffered greatly from his almost
super-human exertion in buckinE
drifts and picking the trail for his
faithful huskies.
After a few hours sleep Hartman
had his team in the harness again THIS
morning and was of even before his
rivals knew he had overtaken ano

A Bad Back

(By L. W. Bower, M. d.
Backache of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which
r,eans that the kidneys are not work
ing properly. Poisonous matter and
uric acid accumulate within the body
in great abundance, over-working the
sick kidneys, hence the congestion Or

bead causes headache. You become
nervous, Respondent. sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing be-
fore the eyes, bags under the lids,
and lack of ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective
means of overcoming this trouble, is
to eat sparingly of meat. drink plenty
OF water between meals and take a
single Anuric tablet before each
meal for while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist
for Anuric double strength) if you
aren't feeling UP to the standard. If
YOU have lumbago, rheumatism,

and medical men believe that be-
cause of an over-abundance of uric
acid in the system, uratic salts are
deposited in the tissues and cause
rheumatism and govt.
The physicians and specialists at
DR.. Pierce's Institution in Buffalo,
N. Y, have thoroughly tested Anuric
and have been with one accord sue
cessful in eradicating and throwing
off from the system the uric acid
which accumulates and poisons.
Patients having once used Anuric at
this institution have repeatedly sent
back for more.
Such a demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put
Anuric in the drug stores of this
country. in a ready-to-use form. 1t
will be their own fault if those suf-
