Barre Street Is to Be Given Course of
Repair Work.

The explosion, which, it was ru-
mored, was going to occur at the city
council meeting Wednesday evening,
did not take place and, as far as could
be seen, the committees are pulling to-
! gether better now than they have this
season. No designations, that had been
| intimated, occurred and the meeting
! last evening was a short one with con
siderable work one. Probably the thing
which will most interest the people is
the fact that the street department
will repair Barre street, which has been
in a bad condition all summer and
which the council voted in April
would be the second job to be done this
year. Alderman Yeti of the street com
| mittee asked the councils advice about
repairing it and Alderman Maroni
| asked why he did not do the work, that
it had been voted. The records were re-
ferred to and it was found that it was
voted to be done as the second job in
the street work this year.
Alderman Bowers reported that the
fire committee had agreed TO pay the
chauffeur of the new struck S28 week
and that Chief Person had asked for
an increase in salary. Alderman STRAIT
ton stated it did not appear consistent
to pay the unde rman more than the
chief, with the result that the matter
was referred to the finance committee
to arrange the salaries in the fire de-
partment and report at the next meet
ing. What to do with the city sheriff
and his failure TO collect back taxes
was the problem which occupied as
much time >as anything with the re-
suit that nothing took place. The mat
ter of paying the insurance on the poll
cies carried on the Blanco children,
who are at the city farm, because their
mother had been sentenced TO the
house of correction was left to the dis
erection of the overseer of poor, The
matter of placing some insurance on
the new fire truck was left to the prop |
erty committee with power TO act.
Alderman Kelly, for the property |
committee, reported that the boilers in
the city hall, the steam roller and the !
boiler in the water department had been
inspected by the Travellers Insurance
Co and found satisfactory, with min
or repairs to be made, including paint
ing of the upright boiler in the water
department The state highway com.
missioner reported TO the city the
amount of money available for perma-
nent work this year about $500. The
matter Of giving DR.. {. H. Burr author
ity TO have a sanitary toilet installed
in the Mooney house was voted by the
council.

Put II Through.

BY Ruby Archer Gray.
Something that you want to do?
Put it through!
You can do il if you will
Think so now, and think so still
In the doubt and failure hour
Strong desire will summon power,
To your wish be bravely true
Put it through.
Has vision come TO youi
Put il through!
Never mind what others saw
All the world will come your way,
Once YOU make the thing YOU mean
Stand out bold and firm and clean.
" YOU start II, finish tool
Put it through.
Does your way seem queer and new
Put it through
Seek no model-have no fear.
What you are. Is first time here.
Keep your dream before your eyes
In your earthly enterprise
Live the life that's born in YOU
Put u through!

The Roosevelt Spirit.

At . memorial meeting in this town
Wednesday night, Senator Lenroot said
Of Theodore Roosevelt:
@Tn his dealings with both labor and
capital Roosevelt was always ready to
denounce the wrongs and just as ready
70 uphold the rights Of either"
This is true. and It explains both the
leadership Of Mr.. Roosevelt while he
was living. and the influence he still
sxsrts now that he Is dead. He held
the scales level. When capital showed
. disrosition TO dsfy the law. and 90
ttS own gait 10 the public injury, he
called capital down. And he did the
s2ne thing to labor when in a spirit
Of fmyatisnce and Hn1easonabieness it
took . course psejudiciai to the general
welfare. He played no favorites.
A. . result, both capital and labor
trusted Mr., Roosevelt. They believed
n him. They saw him prove by ae-
lions his professions Of good will and
his policy Of the square deal. Capital
lists Of large credit and connections
visited him aaA conferred with him,
md Labor leaders Of great influence
Hsss among his intimate friends.

Strike Reactions.

The steam railway situation shows
signs of reinfection in some quar-
tiers. The local freight handlers, after
returning to work, renewed their walk
out, without explanation. but they have
quickly reconsidered and are again on
duty. In other places arrests of
leaders of the outlaw union have
been resented by groups of strikers
at mass meetings. Still, the tend
ency IS toward resumption of
work. The association of railway gen
eral managers has addressed the chiefs
of the four main railroad employees or
carnations that the railroads "look to
them to bring their men back to work"
and give them until u o'clock noon
tomorrow. All strikers can register for
re employment from that time for a
period of twenty four hours, barring
certain ones who have "shown during
the period of trouble by violence, Sc
UlllOuS utteTduCe. OF
well defined means an unfitness for
further railroad service Inasmuch
as the relations of the railroad com
panies are with these four organiza-
tons, it is logical to look to them to
bring their men back to work. In
view, however, Of the fact that the men
have broken ranks it may be difficult
for the brotherhoods fully to comply
with the requirement. Resumption of
train service continues in the west,
but the eastern situation remains still
bad. Between the ultimatum of the
companies and the vigorous action of
the government in arresting leaders
the next twenty four hours should
either. bring about the final collapse
of the strike or demonstrate that it
has lasting power beyond first cal
culations.

and public servants. he had repeated
occasions to express himself in speech
es and interviews. and otherwise, re-
gardinR the conduct of things; and he
never failed to make himself entirely

he was equally frank as to labor.

Subscription Rate BY Mall.
The Car Fare Decision.

In granting an increase o. fare &c
the local traction companles-at ths
instance of one of them, but neces
sarily involving both-the Public CtllI
ties Commission has logically met an
emergency by making wise choice be
tween the equitable but inapphcable
zone system Of measured service and
an absolute advance in rate for ell
car riders within the District. But
this remedy of relief does not fully
meet the requirements of the situa.
ton. 1t must be supplemented by q
change in the tax measures to relieve
the companies of the cost of main
tanning crossing guards and by shift
of the tax on gross earnings to one IN
effect on net earnings, in order to dis,
tribute the burden of carrying the
long haul improbable traffic more
equally between the two companies.
The primary question Is one OF put
ting the street railway systems of the
District after the war on the proper
footing again. 1t affects the public
welfare primarily and not the par
tieular interests of the stockholders
of the roads, to the end of building up
the systems upset by the war. to the
point of rendering efficient service.
The logical way is by applying the
principle of measured service to make
the traffic pay in ratio. 1t has been
decided wisely by the commission in
the community interest that this
cannot be done at present. The in
side urban lines must continue to bear
the burden of the suburban lines. which
have been established for the develop
ment of the District as whole, to re-
lieve urban congestion and to promote
more healthful. wholesome living. 1t
lines must be borne by the entire sys-
tenn for the benefit of the whole com
munity the burden should be shifted
in some degree to the community as
q whole through taxation changes, caus-
ing the general public to contribute to
the relief of the service.
Inasmuch as this ruling is contin-
gent upon legislation to make it ade-
quate and equitable it is important
that the measure now pending in Con-
gress involving the changes proposed
by the commission should be consider
Cd, amended if necessary and enacted
rs rapidly as possible. The exact fnan-
cial effect of the fare change is some
what predetermined. A certain falling
off in gross business is to be expected.
The Commissioners have chosen a fare
rate that imposes the least burden upon
the ear riders consistent with a meas
urable increase in revenues. The hope
Is that coupled with legislation chang
ing the tax methods and equalizing the
burdens borne by the two companies
the local street railway system will
speedily be put into healthful shape,
giving the people adequate service and
permitting the grant to employees of
wage scales that will be reasonable and
that will check all possibility of strikes.
