A POLITICAL DEAL

Every person who pays an additional cent to ride on a
Memphis street car may console himself with the knowledge that
he is paying the price OF a political conspiracy entered into when
the city administration deserted the voters who elected it and
joined the corporate interests,
The exact time of the change in front dates from the cessa-
tion of criticism and the beginning Of the support that the admin
istration has received from the interests through thick and thin.
Except for the passage of the bill extending the jurisdiction
OF the railroad commission to all public utilities, excepting rail-
roads, with the right to abrogate contracts, it would not have
been possible for Col Enloe, of Nashville, and Harvey Hannah,
Of Oliver Springs, to say to the people of Memphis that they
must pay additional fares.
If the city administration had made an effort to prevent the
passage Of the utilities bill it would have been defeated. The
fight made against the increase in fare was handled as we'll as
possible by Henry Livingston, the city attorney, but the hope
lessness OF the situation was apparent from the time the city
administration gave silent acquiescence to the passage of the
measure and the surrender of all local authority.
The corporate interests will be exceedingly ungrateful if
they fail to continue their support of the city administration as
a reward for delivering the people over to the tender merces OF
the interlockng crowd.
George N. WEIGH, the third member of the utilities com
mission, stated the situation accurately, in refusing to concur in
the increase in fare, when he said:
Il respectfully dissent from the opinion Of the majority OF
the commission, on the grounds that, in my opinion, the proof
does not show that an emergency exists, and that an Appraisal
Of the property is necessary before the reasonabeness of the
rate can be determined"
1t is unfortunate that 100000 people of Memphis should
be made to suffer the consequences of a selfish political deal.

TIME TO GET RIGHT

We have progressed beyond the period when it is prima face
evidence of misconduct for a woman to be alone on the street
at night.
The women Of the country are taking a large and important
part IN the affairs OF the state and nation, In many states they
have been given the right to vote. In Tennessee they are &C
corded limited suffrage,
As their sphere of activity has enlarged they have broken
away from the old customs. Many women work in the offices,
shops and stores at night. The woman %bookkeeper finds it neces-
sary to go back to her books at night to %straighten out her &C
counts; the milliner goes to her shop to arrange her wares for
jngs, their club affairs, muscales and other interests that they
,cem to conduct exceedingly well without the aid OF men to either
direct or escort them,
With these changed conditions there should be a change Of
attitude. The woman on the street at night unescorted is entitled
to the same protection as the man who walks alone and commits
no overt act. The officers would do well to divert their attention
from the woman who goes along attending to her business ant
devote more OF it to the men who annoy her.

women. Mrs. Gray had the almost solid
support of the members Of the Is Par

had the support Of a number Of the
more influential women's clubs and a
right lively campaign resulted, women
being present on election Gay at all the
polling places.
Large numbers Of women also acted
as clerks and registrars in the great
registration OF men under h selective
draft law which was more complicated
than the ordinary registration Of voters
end all did their work we'll.
The election commissioners anticipate
no difficulty In finding hundreds OF
women ready to volunteer for duty as
clerks, registrars or judges Of election,
but are wondering whether all the
ladies will be willing to have their ages
and place Of birth put down In black
and white on the registration books
But that's another story with which
it is not necessary to deal until nexl

Why should not the women Of Memphis be invited to Join

The women will have an important part in the conduct of
municipal affairs in the future.
They were indispensable in every form of war activity en-
