Public Service appeals Again

Once more Public Service has laid its case before the Public
Utilities Commission asking for permission to increase its fare to
seven cents with certain trimmings N the side that would bring
some rides up to nine cents.
Once more the great array of legal talent maintained at enor
the uselessness of making a fight.
Once more the whine has gone forth that the Public Service
must have the additional money or else go into bankruptcy.
IL the Public Utility Commission should treat Public Service in
the same manner that Public Service treated petitioners from the
people a few years ago, it would cast aside the appeal with contempt.
1t might be well for public Service to get a taste of its own medicine.
But it did get a taste of it the previous time it made application for
increased fares and was turned down. My, how it did squeal.
The president of Public Service exploded, ;ndulging in uncom-
plimentary remarks about the members of the Public Utility Com
mission just as the people have exploded into uncompimentary re-
marks about Public Service in the past when they have been turned
down.
But Nh. MeCarter apologized and Immediately started an agita-
ton for a new hearing.
When the public have tried that same stunt after they have
been once turned down by Public Service. they have been ignored.
Public Service is getting better treatment in this respect, at
least. 1t has its second hearing
Whether it will be any more successful than the first hearing
remains to be seen.
In the meantime, nothing is said by Public Service about better
treatment for the public after its own condition is improved. The same
old take If or leave it, policy viii be followed as before.
ISM it about time to show this enormous monopoly that has tbs
state by the throat that it is the publies servant and not the public
bOssi A real investigation of the concern and a reorganization on
basis of actual value would be a heahhfh thing all around. 1t il
time that the power of Public Service in New Jersey was broken.

Beware of German Propaganda

Dont believe everything you hear on the street.
There have been an unusually large number of rumors and re-
ports floating about during the past few days about different alleged
disasters that have befanen American forces. One of the latest was
that some American ships-transports, some said-had been sunk off
the New Jersey coast.
There is nothing to it.
When someone tries to tell you some terrible tale about losses in
the war, particularly concerning Americans, shut him up quickly
The press of America is not gagged. There is a censorship, to
be sure, on certain kinds of news, but it is mainly regarding location
Of troops and the movement of vessels. Every catastrophe has been
reported promptly, even if some of the details were withheld.
The American people are being kept posted of all the important
happenings Of the war better than the people of any other nation.
There is no ground for complaint, and when there is no published
report do not imagine things or let someone fool you into believing
that some thing has happened that the government is not telling
about.
This is one of the favorite methods of German agents to spread
discomfort in allied countries. Don't be a party to it.
Another choice piece of German propaganda that we have heard
recently is that in some of the cities in upper New York state shey
are able to get all the sugar they want. 1t has been said that they
as often al they choose.
Don't believe such reports The person who tells you may be
thoroughly reliable, but he doubtless heard it from someone else and
that person got it from some other person.
The only answer to all this propaganda is to buckle down all the
harder to win the war. There isn't any doubt that Germany is
going to cry harder for peace than she has ever cried before and all
kinds of propaganda will be used in an effort to end the war while
she still has her hands on the Russian provinces, or even while she
still yields control over Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
There is only one answer: Germany must be decisivey beaten
1t took the United States a long time to get into the war, but once
the step was taken there will be not ,letup until the kaiser is thor
aughlx whipped.
