Glasgow Has a One-C Cent

Think Of That When You the Street Railways Here

By EARL GOODWIN.

The Scochman's reputation for thrift has gone around
the world. Whenever Scotchman goes into business
to the ultimate development is harder take sxpencs
from Scotchman than it is for voteless Washngonan to
get good service and for that believe the
perence of the city of Glasgow and its municipality owned
street railways would be of interest rght here at this
ment
The Scotch of Glasgow would never have gone in for
municipal ownership IN 1894 if they had believed it merely
dream of theorists They went into because it cheaper
and better
To prove that they we're Iong-headed am presenting
information which comes from the American consulate at
Glasgow 1t is in the form of report from special Amer
lean representative sent there to obtain certain valuable
commercial information
Glasgow mind you, has adopted the equitable plan Of
charging for street rides in accordance with the distance
travelled.

threeourths of mile in the business district you
ride across the whole city for 8 cents.

works with complete satisfaction and results enormous
shorthaul business
If we had it in Washington, you could ride from the
Willard Hotel to the Senate Office Building for about
cents If you wanted to ride from Anacosta to Chevy

Here in America railroad men say they must have
straight oneprce fare that the system Will not work
Are they not as smart the Scotchmen of Glasgow

The passengers who hop and off and leave small coin

The equipment in Glasgow is different from To
save few cents day, the Scotch take kindly to double

Also there is less trackn Glasgow than IN many Amer

The Swan of Dion
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Copyright, IslS. Star Co.


WAS In Dion when the wars wild blast
Was at its loudest; when there was no sound
From dawn to dawn soldiers marching past,
Or rattle of their wagons in the street
When every engine whistle would repeat
Persistently, with meaning tense, profound:
''We carry men to slaughter" or "We bring
Remnants of men back, as wars Offering"
And there in Dion, the outgazng eye
Grew weary of the strfe-suggesting scene;
But searching, found one quiet spot hardly
Where war not; little lake whereon
Moved leisurely stately, tranquil swan
Majestic and imposing yet serene.
4 was IN Dion, when no sound or sight
Woke thoughts of peace,
Save this one speck of white,
Sailing meath skies of menace unafraid
While silver fountains for his pleasure played

To rest tired heart.
