TOO MUCH FARE.

The street cars of st. Louis haul a
million people day. At s cents a
piece this is $4,000 which the COM
pany averages daily in receipts. In
der the proposed Scent fare, the daily
receipts would average $4,000.
There is not so much difference be-
tween 8 cents and cents. There is q
great deal Of difference between $780,
90 and $4,000.
While the expense Of the St. Louis
Traction company have undoubtedly
been greatly increased since the days
Of the five-cent fare, it will be diff
cult to make anyone believe that the
cost Of operation has so increased as
to make it necessary for the people
Of St. Louis to hand the street car
company $4,000 a day.

Coup to Install
Charles on Throne
Blocked by Arrest

Vienna, Wednesday, Oct. 15.-The
motive for the attempted arrest of
Premier Stephan Friedrich Of Hun
gary by Rumanians on Monday was
the discovery, it is said, that he has
planned to coup d'Etat, with the OBJ
ject Of placing former Emperor
Charles of Austria on the Hungarian
throne. This information is given
in a Budapest dispatch to the Abend-
blatt.
Hungarian forces commanded by
Admiral Horthy. former commander
of Budapest, being brought forward
under Premier Friedrich's orders, he
having promised the Rumanian COM
mander in chief that the Hungarian
forces would place King Ferdinand
of Rumania on the Hungarian throne,
it is said.
The dispatch states that when it
was discovered the premier's real OBJ
ject was to place Former Emperor
Charles on the throne, the Rumanian
troops ceased their withdrawal from
Budapest and ordered Admiral Hor-
thy to halt his forces.
Advices to the Associated Press
from Budapest say the arrest of the
premier was prevented only by
American and British guards. which
fixed bayonets and prepared for bat
tie. British officers in command
of the guard forces, ordered the Ru-
manians to continue their withdraw
al from the city.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.

Lieutenant Maynard, the flying
parson," leading the aviators back
across the country in the transcon-
tinental derby, smashed into field
near Omaha, and for time it looked
at though he was out Of the race.
Captain Francis, his own plano
partially wrecked and himself prac-
tically out Of the race, turned what
was left of his machine over to the
parson, 50 that the parsons race
might not be spoiled. Francis will
have to 60 back to New York by way
Of the New York Central or the
Pennsylvania. Undoubtedly he would
have liked to have made the route
back through the air. The captain,
however, was a good sport and rath-
er than see a prospective winner out
of it, gave up his own chances.

Man Who Refused
to Shake Carnegie's
Hand Gets Bequest

London, Oct. 17.-John Burns
many friends have been almost as
much surprised as gratified that An
drew Carnegie should have left him
81 900 a year, for Burns once re-
fused to shake hands with Mr. Car
negie. Moreover Burns was very
proud of having done so and fond
Of telling about it. 1t happened in
the precincts of the house of COM
mons in the days before Honest
John" had accepted the responsible
ties of ministerial office and was
still an untamed socialist.
Mr.. Carnegie was being shown
through the house of commons by
some distinguished English friends.
In the lobby John Burns was en-
countered and Carnegie's attention
was directed to him. AS Burns used
to tell the story of their meeting
Carnegie stepped up to him smiling
and with outstretched hand and said,
ANDREW Carnegie offers his hand to
John Burns" TO which Burns re-
piled, "John Burns refuses to take
the hand Of Andrew Carnegie" and
turned his back on the multi-million-
aire.
Burns had said many violent things
against capitalists. There is no doubt
that Carnegie had a sincere admira-
ton for Burns as self-educated and
self-made man. And possibly in lat
err years Burns changed his opinions
concerning Andrew Carnegie.

by our courts. Almost so automo-
biles have been stolen in Baltimore in
the last two weeks, and few of them
have yet been traced. There is ap-
parently an organized market for
them, and but little fear Of detection.
The passage by congress Of the
bill to create federal jurisdiction in
cases where the auto thief crosses a
state line with his booty will add to
his risks. But general legislation
making transfer of such property a
matter Of public record would tend
also to discourage this criminal avo-
cation. In addition to that owners
themselves must exercise greater
vigilance. There must be good
deal Of carelessness on their part to
afford opportunities for such whole
sale thievery. II an auto is worth
buying, it is worth guarding.-Balti-

Want Railroads
Returned by the
Close of the Year

Indianapolis, Oct. 17.-Return of
the railroads to private ownership
not later than December 81, 1919,
is urged in resolution adopted by
the National Association of Railway
utilities commissioners at the clos
ing session Of its annual convention
here this afternoon.
The resolution states, however,
that the transition should be made
with as little disturbance as possible,
and with this end in view, recon-
mends that the existing interstate
and interstate rates passenger and
freight, initiated by the director gen
eral be continued in force for per-
iod not beyond July l., 1921. &
The association proposed several
principles for consideration by con-
gress in connection with remedial
railroad legislation now pending.

], s, WILL Be LEFT
OFF OF IMPORTANT
LEAGUE COMMISSIONS
General Regret Expressed That
Full Membership Will Not
Be Had at Start.

Paris, Oct. 17.-Immediately after
formal ratification of the treaty OF
peace with Germany, the supreme
council of the peace conference will
probably name a coordination COM
mission, the duties of which will be
to decide what bodies shall have
jurisdiction over matters not def
mite assigned by the treaty. This
commission will, in way, carry on
part Of the work which has been
performed by the supreme council
which is expected to close within six
weeks.
Manifestly, the United States can
not be represented on this co-ordina-
ton committee until she ratifies the
treaty. General regret is apparent
over the impossibility to start off all
the commissions created under the
treaty with full membership from
the great powers as it would be much
simpler if all the permanent members
of the various commissions could be-
gin work simultaneously,
In the Rhineland, the Belgian,
French and British members Of the
inter-allied commission, OF which an
American will be the fourth mem
Der, will probably be empowered by
governments to proceed with civil adj
ministration in spite Of the fact that
the Rhineland convention requires
American cooperation.
In American occupied territory,
military control will be continued by
common consent until the United
States senate ratifies the treaty and
makes the establishment Of civil gov
eminent possible.
! The coordination commission will
have lesser powers than those held
by the supreme council. Its men,
bers will not be plenipotentiaries, but
will be required to refer important
matters to their various foreign Of
fices for decision. This commission
will deal only with matters relating
to the German treaty and will not
indulge in the general discussion o.
Russian, Turkish or other interna-
tional problems. The creation Of
the coordination commission will
end the international foreign Of
flee" as the supreme council has
been termed. The various foreign
offices will function as usual.
The work Of the American delega-
ton will be largely advisory, but
that there is general disposition to
consult American representatives on
| all important matters relative to the
execution Of the treaty terms.

MONTHS WASTED.

The months that the senate has
spent in arguing the Shantung clause
Of the peace treaty and league docu-
mcnt have been wased.
After many weeks Of pickering,
while the United States waited Gag
erly for the restoration in this coun-
try of peace basis, the Shantung
amendment went to vote and lost by
20 heads. The leaders on both sides
knew many weeks ago just what the
vote would be when the test came, but
they did not allow the vote to -
taken. They waited and gave every
senator chance to indulge in idle
talk that that got back to his con-
stituents and made political capital
good or bad-for him.
In the meantime, delay on the
treaty has been keeping prices buoy
ed up and has kept the nations in.

Hungary First of
Enemy Nations to
Receive Red Cross

Paris, Sept. Fl (By maiD .-Hun-
gary is the first Of the late central
powers to receive an official commits.
sion of the American Red Cross for
civilian work. To meet the urgent
need for medical and surgical sup
plies in the hospitals Of Budapest, a
train of 80 cars in charge of a unit
of IL American officers has been
sent from Paris. The supplies car
ried are valued at $350,0OO.
The unit is in charge Of Major s..
A. Moffatt of Brooklyn and Maj. B.
B. Metheany of Seattle, both Of
whom had long experience in relief
work in France. The transporta-
tion is under Capt. H. H. Kidder Of
Maryhill, WASH, and the personnel
is under Capt. Howard Armstrong Of
Buffalo. Other members of the
unit are: Lieut.. John A. Langston
Of Cleburne, Tex; Lieut.. Frederick
H. Mead of Troy, N. Y; Lieut.. Will
liam Hosie of Troy, N. Y; Lieut.. L..
E. Walsh of Amherst, Mass; Lieut..
V. j. Oldshue of Pittsburgh, and
Sergt. R. D. Heimbach of San Fran
cisco.
The commission was sent to Buda-
pest at the request Of the inter-al-
lied commission in Paris. Hospitals,
in Budapest, were reported as crow
ded to overlooking, but without the
barest necessities. A report on the
situation in Budapest, sent to Par
is by one Of the. advance agents of
the American Red Cross, says:
Hungary today. seems the least
able of any of the defeated nations to
right itself and resume it's place
among the people Of the world. Buda-
pest the capital, finds itself face to
face with famine, it's citizens lack
ing not only food, coal and clothing,
but it's sick dying for want of medi-
cines and the means for surgeons to
operate.
''The hospitals still have hundreds
of wounded men, but most of the
patients are civilian sick, men, wo-
men and children, whose constitu.
tions have been undermined by war.
Sugar, milk, cocoa, chocolate and
other delicacies so necessary for the
upbuilding of the sick are practical
ly unobtainable."

operated within the barracks a print
ing plant by which fraudulent gov
eminent pay vouchers were made,
were indicted by federal grand

The alleged conspiracy, federal Of
ficials assert, had wide ramifications
and the prisoners were taken into
custody in New York, Chicago and
other cities. According to officials
the men manufactured the counter

THE CRISIS.

This country has opened before it
an era Of prosperity unexampled in
all its history. Whether is shall enter
upon this era or not, depends upon
the kind Of leadership it shall have at
this critical moment.
To prosper, it must have the leader
ship Of its best brains and widest
experience stimulating its men Of
high character and patriotic purpose.
Every other great crisis has
brought the man of the hour to meet
it. Thus far, in this crisis of the
worlds history, as affecting our in
terests at home and abroad, the lead
er has not appeared.
At the time of the coal strike, the
power and personality of Presiden.
Roosevelt was felt. It saved sit
uation Of great peril.
At the time of the serious compli-
cation with Great Britain over the
Venezuelan affair, President Cleve-
land met the crisis with strong
American declaration that put an
end to the uncertainty on both sides
OF the water and FASTENED satisfac-
tory solution of the trouble.
The nation looks to Washington
now for leadership. The trouble is
there. The people know it.
Out Of this crisis will the strong.
courageous, independent patriotic
leader appear? In the light of his.
tory. we have every reason to believe
that he will.
The destinies of the nation have
been too long in the hands of parti.
sans and not Of patriots. The call is
for something higher and better.
1t is time for wisdom, sagacity, ans
the leadership that only an unselfist
patriot can give. Is it too much t
hope that out Of the turmoil, such
leadership will appear?
We hope not.-Leslie's Weekly.
