Raising Street Car Fares.

eressiye policy that up to the present time
mas characterized the relations OF the TrCity Rail

enable increase in its fares, # it cau<be shown that
it is justified and confined strictly TO the period
Of the war. Particularly viii this be true in view
Of the numerous increases the company has made,
the last one very recently, the wages paid its
This advance, as Is known, was voluntary in every
instance and the company is to be commended for
SO doing, but there is a serious question, doubt.
as -- whether the seven cents which it seeks to
proved by the public utilities commission Of
----o.s is consistent with the actual require
1nentz This is one proposition surely that ought to
be decided by the local authorities rather than by
board that has no definite means Of knowing &C
.-l conditions
On former occasion The Argus sought fairness
OF the Tri-Ctty Railway company, because an
institution stood apart from the general rule Of
public utility corporations, in service. and facilities
Of an up TO date nature to accommodate the public
It is not only just now to consider this be
half of the company, but likewise take into ac-
count the fact that a raise in fare under Illinois
laws to the patrons this side Of the river without
a corresponding increase for the patrons on the
Iowa side would be an outrageous discrimination,
against which the people would surely enter indig
nant protest.
In numerous cities. the rate Of street car fare
has under war conditions. been advanced one cent;
in cities by the government in othersby state
authorities, and in still others by boards of arb-
tratton but an instance is rare where it has gone
a. high as seven cents although this has heen done
in Massachusetts mainly. including Boston.
AS The Argus has said before. it does not see
how the public utility commission can make such
radical change, without most thorough and
full investigation of the local situation Geographically
and relatively. but it does feel that the Tri-Cfy rail-
way company should be dealt with in a spirit free
from prejudice that attaches to the common run of
street car corporations.

The question to whether mourning should be
by those who have lost dear ones in the war is
Of such extreme delicacy that it only fit
ting that each should act their feelings prompt.
The French and English governments discourage the
of anything like extreme mourning apparel, for
the reason that the sight of many darkly attired
people is calculated to produce feelings of depres-
sion among the popuace. As a substitute the wear
ing of dark grey was suggested. and it has been
generally adopted The daily heavy casualty list
will make this matter very vital one throughout

The Certified Engineer.

The engineman OF a train which

casions, SO that l wondered how he
smanaged to hold his job on a rail-

management Will give good service
and safety SO far as reasonably at

CINE is not drunk, dying or i'll?
An engineman's fellows shrink

Dear Mrs Thompson: / am n
young girl 20 years old and 1 am in
love with young man one year Imy
senior with whom | have been going
for over year. He is a very nice
young man, as he is neither loud
nor rough. From his actions he
thinks a great deal Of me and he
called to see me at least once q
week and sometimes twice.
About two weeks ago he began to
act different toward me. So one
evening / questioned him as to his
troubles. lie said that he was kind
Of angry at me, but that didn't
amount to much lie asked me to
write to him that week as he would
be very glad to hear from me. 1
sent him a letter, but he didn't an
swer it. Instead he came down the
evening or the day he received my
letter, but he didn't act nearly as
friendly as he used to.
What do you think is bothering
him? What can | do and how can
l act to gain his friendship, as |
hate to give him up?
BROKEN-HEARTED.
Fear is the greatest handicap you
can have p Ii you are afraid you Will
lose a friendship you very likely
VIII, because your friend will feel
your lack of confidence. DO not try
to please him. Let him try TO please
you and if he doesn't tell him so
fearlessIy. Even if you do lose him
it is better than to suffer constantly
because he acts so queerly. Perhaps
you have been seeing too much Of
each other. If SO, do not let him
come so often.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have a
boy friend who lives in another
town and so we do not see each
other very often. Sunday he was
with me an hour. He told me that
he would have to go to a business
meeting and he left on the 5 o'clock
car. Mother said he did not do
the right thing. / tried to reason
