Instead Of officials and propagandietS Of the
Memphis Street Railway Company asking the
people to vote them a siX-ccnt fare, their patrons
ought to demand a return of the difference be
tween the fivc-cent fare, which they have had
to pay, and that which other cities have charged,
to say nothing of demanding punitive damages
to which the people are entitled for the miserable
service and strap-hanging which they have sui
fcrcd. An increase Of one cent, extracted from
the pockets OF the strap-hangcrs, would amount
to several hundred thousands Of dollars each
year.
Car companies in Il great many other cities
during normal times gave their patrons SIX tick
cts for a quarter, some seven, and some rs high
as eight tickets for a quarter, with transfers, and
tickets sold on the ears. Many other companies
gave reduced fares to school children, and also to
working people on early morning and late after
noon ears, and the street car statements showed
that they all made big money. Cleveland gave
a thrce-cent fare, and Columbus, Ohio, gave eight
tickets for a quarter, with transfers. When the
Memphis Street Railway Company was asked to

IOTA. 1t has, however, given eleven tickets for
fifty cents, or just one ticket over the cash fare,
but would not sell these tickets on cars, nor
give transfers on them, and few people in Mem
phis knew where the tickets could be purchased.
IF A FIVE-CENT FARE HAD BEEN
RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE TO PAY IN NOR
NAL TINES, THEN THERE COULD BE NO
OBJECTION TO A SIX-CENT FARE NOW,
BUT A FIVE-CENT FARE WAS NOT RIGHT
THEN.
The Memphis Street Car Company has given
the people only what it has actually been forced
to give under the law, and in practically every
instance would fight through every court before
doing this. AS a concrete example of how the
street car officials scott at the suggestion of any
consideration for the public, | recall what Gen.
Luke f. Wright, chief counsel for the Street Car
Company, replied to the city commissioners when
we requested street signs to be placed on the
sides of cars. HE THOUGHT LIZ WAS NON
SENSE, AND, IN FACT, DECLARED THAT
THE EXISTING REAR SIGNS WERE USE
LESS, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNEW THE
SCHEDULES OF THE CARS, We were max
ing the point that the use Of side signs, in add
ton to those on front and rear, were of great
convenience, because by their use people could
stand anywhere on Main street between blocks to
sec if their ears were coming, or had passed.
Don't let the propagandSts tell YOU that it
would be better to give the street ear people "A
six-cent fare, even if it were not right. because
a failure to do so would probably throw them
into the hands of a receiver, or they would quit
paying present wages, thereby forcing their men
to strike, and causing a diSrontinlancc of Scry-
ice. WHEN THE STREET CAR OFFICIALS

ASKED FOR INJUNCTION

Governor
From Enforcing Public Safety
Provision
Minnesota Liquor Mems Conduct
is Fastening Complete Destruc-
ton of Traffic in That Patriotic
State

Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, is
presenting to the people of that state
at large a very fair example of the
patriotism Of the Minnesota liquor
people. A ruling made-by the Public
Safety Commission to the effect that
saloons must be closed on entrain-
ment days for draft contingents was
sought to be stayed by the Blooming
Prairie booze vendors.
1t mattered not to these Blooming
Prairie saloon men whether these
boys going to fight for the protection
of liberty and democracy should be-
come victims OF saloon greed just
SO the saloons were permitted to ply
their trade and make their money.
These same saloon people would no
doubt buy Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps and shout their pa
triotism, and while standing in their
door and thus proclaiming their vir-
tues abroad, would permit indiscrim-
mate sale to draft contingents and al
cohol to be supplied to soldiers in
uniform to as great an extent as they
could possibly do so without becom-
ing victims of the law.
Here is what a Minnesota news
paper has to say regarding the Bloom
ing Prairie case:
The Supreme Court of Mime
sofa maintains the sound position
it has heretofore taken, that an
administrative officer of the state
may not be restrained by the
courts in the enforcement of
law If the validity of law is
questioned, the contention must
be submitted to the proper court
for consideration and decision.
| But meanwhile the good faith and
judgment of the officers charged
with the laws enforcement can
not be questioned in the courts
The Court, therefore, refuses to
permit the District Court of Ram
scy county to enjoin Governor
Burnquist from closing saloon
at Blooming Prairie on order of
the Public Safety Commission, or
to require the governor to show
cause why he should not be en-
joined.
Hard upon this decision comes
that of Judge Hale of the Henne-
pin District Court to the effect
that the orders of the Public
Safety Commission in this con-

Chicagoans consumed 6,4S0000
.pints of beer on a single day last
week. Figured on the basis of a
pound of coal required to brew pint
of beer, Chicagoans wasted 3,240 tons
of coal on this one day by their beer
guzzling. How does these Chicago
ans patriotism square with the fol-
lowing statement quoted from letter
of the United States Fuel Administra-
ton, under date of August 10, 1918:
The increased demand for coal
for the Navy reached almost one
hundred per cent in July.
Whereas 100000 tons were ap-
portioned to the Navy in April,
the requirements of the Navy by
July had reached to six million
tons. By the end of the fiscal
year eight million tons will be
required to cover these demands.
With the launching of new ships
the requirements of the Shipping
Board have likewise grown be-
yond all expectations. When the
annual allotment was made at the
first of April, ten million tons was
assigned for the purpose of ship
building. The actual require
ments are demonstrated and as
a result the Shipping Board now
places the figure at 100000 tons.
Is it good sense, to say nothing of
patriotism, for the people of single
city i'll times OF stress such as these,
to waste over three thousand tons OF
coal, represented i'll commodity
which has been condemned by the
Army and Navy?

Where Chicago Men Walters Strike

The loag buried Chicago city ordi-

Benjamin F. Parker, president of the

nally tc the council. We do not

nection are valid and binding in
all respects.
This decision is evidently based
on the belief of the Court that the
law creating the Commission and
clothing it with extraordinary
powers is a constitutional act
within the powers of the Legisla-
ture.
Since the Supreme Court did
not assume to pass on the valid
ity of the law, which was not di-
rect1y involved in the question as
to the power of the lower court to
enjoin the governor, Judge Hale's
decision is still subject to review
in this respect-if the DIRECTORS
care to pursue the matter further.
While it would be presumptuous
to indulge in prophecy as to what
the higher court would say in the
event1pf such an appeal, it is at
least evident that the judicial
branch of the state government
cannot be successfully invoked to
stay the hand of the Commission
or of Che governor in the execu-
ton OF what they deem to be their
duty in maintaining law and
order.
The general sentiment in Minnesota
IS becoming thoroughly aroused
against these booze interests which
are wilful in their practices against
the soldier boys and the action OF the
saloon people themselves is very help
full in building up the force for their
ultimate determination, ratification
and adoption Of statewide
as a result of the coming
election in the state of Minnesota.
In the conduct OF war activities the
government through its Food Admin
stration and Councils Of Defense
etc, has issued orders cutting down
rations, stopping some things entirely
from the use of the people at large
and the people obeyed this action Of
the government. The liquor people

The Missouri Democrats have NOM
mated Joseph w. Folk as their can,
didate for United States Senator.
Mr.. Folk was elected governor of
the state of Missouri because as dis
triet attorney in St. Louis he had
prosecuted and convicted saloon
keepers for selling liquor on Sunday.
As governor he compelled the An
heuser-Busch Company and the pro-
German saloonkeepers of the state
to obey the Sunday closing law, and
in the years l906-7-S Mr.. Folks fame
was nationwide. Speaking of tho
situation in 1907, Governor Folk said:
When ! became governor and
had the power to put an end to
saloon lawlessness in cities of
Missouri l endeavored to have
the law enforced. For doing this
I have been constantly abused
and vilfed by the liquor inter-
ests and their allies. 1t is busi-
ness the natural tendency of
which is toward iawlessness and
the time has come when it will
either run the politics of the state
or be run out of the politics of
the state.
Mr.. Folk was far in advance of
public sentiment of his time and the
German brewers and the German
American Alliance terrorized the
politicians and Folk was dropped as
favorite son of Missouri. Now af-
ter ten years the pendulum has swung
the other way and in Missouri the
