THE SECOND MILE.


IT'S not the mile compelled, alone,
The Lord would have us go;
But it's the second mile that make,
The measure overflow,
Duty perfectly done is just
What life to do is bound;
There is graciousness beyond
Where heart Of life is found.
The might Of force alone can not
Make war fore 'er to cease;
But on the second mile of love
Lies universal peace.
America must not forsake
The second mile, this hour!
Her duty princely done, now show
Her kindness Of power.
Let every nation learn to live
For other nations good;
And on the second mile to find
The noblest brotherhood!
This is way ideal, sublime;
Alight with heavens smile.
Ye faltering feet, 60 on today
The happy second mile!

High cost of operation and low rate
Of earnings, so the Duluth Street Rail-
way company alleges, compel it to cry
ito. the city commissioners for relief.
Unless the corporation can have in
creased fares and decreased obligation
as, to improvements, it will have to
decrease service, dodge all extensions
and run in great danger of going to
the dogs generally.
Immediate relief is desired. As a
means for getting relief it is suggested
to the city fathers that the miserable
skip-stop system be allowed; that
charge for transfers be made; that
dinky, jumpy, one-man cars be used
as much as possible and desirable; that
the company be relieved of paving re-
quirements and underground .conduits
to a heavy extent.
But here's the letter, dear old citi-
zen, just as the honorable trolley car
company wrote it to your somnolent
servants in the Anticipated old city hall,
Wis,
"We are addressing you for the pur-
pose of calling your attention to the
serious situation now confronting the
city Of Duluth and this company.
"Unless the Duluth Street Railway
company can obtain a substantial in
crease in it's revenues within the next
few months either wholly through an
increase in the street car fare or by
some combination of an increased fare
and cancellation or material reduction
Of municipal charges, it will not be
able to construct any extensions, make
any permanent improvements, or add
to it's rolling stock and equipment dur
ing the coming year, and for such fur
Ter period as the high cost of opera
ton continues; nor will the company
be able to continue to render to the
people Of Duluth the character and
kind of sef3ice which it desires to give.
"The company spared no expense or
effort in restoring its crippled service
of December, 1913, which resulted from
the shortage Of skilled labor and in
ability to get material. and during the
past nine months has given Duluth bet
ter service than that furnished in al
most any city in the country, and we
believe our efforts are appreciated by
your honorable body and the people
Of Duluth.
'.The problem now confronting the
city Of Duluth and the street railway
company is the people g problem, and
can be worked out only by complete
cooperation between the city and the
street railway company in the interest
of all the people.
ga permanent solution Of the prob
lem should be considered at this time
so that the company may be in po-
sition to secure money with which to
meet the immediate demand for extern
sions, permanent improvements, and
maintenance of service on some plan
which will provide for the present
emergency and fully safeguard the in
terest of the city and car riders in the
future.

Pawn of life, that has no key. ::

Suffrage For And Against

: New JERSEY women associated with
the anti-suffrage movement will at
tend a conference of representatives
from the National Association Oppos-
| ed to Woman Suffrage and eminent
| counsel in New York Tuesday to con-
slider carrying the question of a ma
tion-wide referendum on woman suf-
frage to the voters. Not only Will a
referendum be asked in states which
have not ratified the Federal amend
ment, but also in states in which the
legislatures have ratified without sub
hitting the question to a vote of the
people.
In support of their contention that
the voters should be given opportunity
to express their approval or their dis
approval of the ratification of the suf-
frage amendment to the Federal con-
stitution, the anti-suffragists point to
the fact hat in the last referendums
on the subject of the states In which
the legislatures have ratified, the peo-
pie voted against it. This is especi-
ally the case in Massachusetts, and
Texas. In 1915 Massachusetts, was
nearly two to one against, while In
Texas only two months ago. suffrage
was beaten by $4,000 majority.
New Jersey stands out as n of
those states in which the voters re-
jected suffrage by approximately 50,-
600, on it's last vote on the subject,
but In which an effort is now being
made to have the legislature ratify
without a referendum.
Touching on this situation gener-
ally and as it applies to New Jersey
in particular, a statement was issued
yesterday from the headquarters Of
the New Jersey Anti-suffragists in
Newark as follows:
The people are being aroused by
the injustice of the manne in which
woman suffrage is being forced upon
them by the legislature without a ref
erendum and in some cases even after
the people have voted against suffrage
The important question now is wheth-
er the legislature are the masters or
the servants of the people.
Down in Texas where the will of
the people in voting against suffrage
was ruthlessly ignored within a month
by their legislature representatives,
we see an aroused electorate that in
tends to place an anti-suffrage ticket
in the field this fall from Governor
down. The leader in this movement is
former Congressman r. s. Henry who
will in all probability be n of the
candidates.
We also demand a referendum on
the question here in New Jersey and
will fight for it."
