accident. The fact that the motor- man could not Aop it is indication that it should have been running less than that, although it is probable that it Was going faster. There should be system of regulating, by means of the police, the speed of trolleys as there is of automobiles. The motor- man ordinarily has little to fear. he knows his track and knows that his car will stay on it and rams ahead, letting others take care of themselves. Once in a while they are unable to get out of the way then there is trouble
 Undoubtedly the motormcn arc much besct in trying to keep up d scmblance of a schedule with the new zone fares. Time lost at centers must De made up on the runs. This may have been one reason for the speed
 of the car last night. We say speed adViscdly the trolley as we said be- fore must have been going too fast. 1t finally stopped an appreclable dlS- tance beyond the spot where it had hit the machine, after dragging the
 minister with it.
 A month or so ago a trolley com ing in from Berlin. ran into a ma chine which had met with an acci- dent and was stalled on the tracks at the foot of Worthngton Ridge. Again, the trolley was going too fast. 1t could not stop after the mOtorman had approached the object. Safety first is q good rule to observe, for eNeryOne.s Schedule first may be the rule of the motormun who has little to fear in accidents to himself be- cause of the weight and stability of the machine that he handles. Service on the part of the trolley company is appreciated but not at the price of accidents similar to that of last night.

Quick Action.

Out in Toledo not long ago the Citi- zens of the city voted to aust the troll ley company from it's streets, this de- cision being caused by an increase in the fare made by the company to off set increases in the pay given it's em- ployes.
 Without warning the trolley com DanN, being informed of the vote of Toledo's cit 'zens, moved every one of it's trolleys from the city the other night and Toledo woke up the next morning to find that it had to depend on foot power or jitneys to take it to work
 Immediately a storm of protest rent the air and srowls of disapprova1 sWelled up from all sides. The mayor, very much upset at the happenings, grew indignant with the trolley man agement and the citizens of the city found that the reliable" jitney men were only too ready to boost prices as high as D cents per ride.
