STREET RAILWAY REVIVAL.

That the street railways of this
country have come Into q period of
greater prosperity than for a number
of years past is evidenced in various
ways. On high authority It Is stated
that as much as s200,000,0 900 will be
expended by them this year for equip
ment and supplies. an outlay more
than twice as great as in any previ-
GUS year for two decades.
OF course, this does not mean that
these properties are a gold mine at
present. for such outlays have to be
made, In large part, at least, out of
earnings, and 1t will take quite a while
to repair the enforced neglect of the
preceding years and reap the returns
from better facilities thus provided.
But the significant thing is that these
carriers are on the mend and at a
time when the volume of motor traffic
and the competition offered by bus
lines far exceeds anything of the past.
That the trolleys catch a lot of busi-
ness and at rates far above those of
pre-war days simply goes to show
how immensely the volume of traffic
has grown and how utterly inadequate
! the street railways would be TO care
for the crowds We're 1t not for motor

But it Is evident that the street rail-

LOOKS TO THE PRESIDENCY.

1t is quietly whispered around in
political circles in Indiana that If for
mer United States Senator Albert
jeremiah Beveridge, who defeated
Senator Harry s. New at the Republi-
can primaries this year, succeeds at
tAe election he Will Immediately be-
come an asplrant TO the Republican
nomination for President IN 1924.
In politics, as in other lines of hu-
man endeavor. nothing succeeds like
success" Mr.. Beveridge achieved sue
cess in the primary contest against
the confident expectation of the Re-
publican politicians and Clearly Sc
cured Republican leadership in his
State. Success at the election would
enormously increase this political
prestige and place him squarely in
the ranks Of Republican Presidential
possibilities for 1924. especially should
this years election results practi-
cally eliminate President Harding, as
they are expected TO do.
Mr.. Beveridge is a political come
back" He went down TO defeat in
1910. as a candidate for reelection
to the Senate, and remained IN politi-
cal obscurity until this year, when he
reappeared and conducted his sensa-
tional and successful campaign for the
senatorial nomination. With the fur.
ther prestige of victory next month
coupled with his attainments and his
prominence. he would easily prove for
midable as a competitor for nationa,
leadership Of his party.

said.
And frequently burned in their deep

And the soy OF US as we Sat and read:

Those were the days Of the Golden
West,
The DAYS of Custer and Buffalo Bill,
When we followed the scouts to the
mountain crest
And breathlessly watched them shoot

We knew the meaning Of curling
smoke,
| The signs 10 fear and the guides 10
trust,
And we thrilled with Joy when the
rifles spoke
| And two more redskins bit the dust
Out in the barn in those golden days
In a secret place were our PAM
phlets hid.
And there we followed the trapper'
ways
And gloried in all that they said OF
did.
Adventure gripped at each youthful
throat,
For we knew the meaning Of savage
lust,
But this was the line that We loved
TO quote:
"Then two more redskins bit the

LORD BRYCE.

Former Secretary OF state Root paid
a deserved tribute TO the memory OF
the late James Bryce on the occasion
of the presentation of bust of that
thinker and statesman TO Trinity
Church In New York City. He soid
very truly that Lord Bryce was not
only n great scientific investigator. but
also great public teacher. Those
who have read his notable work on
the American Commonwealth" never
weary of calling attention to the fact
that 1t was left TO Britieh wrher to
give us the best and most reliable
treatise on our form of government.
1t is not to say too much to declare
that he did more than any other man
in our time to promote a better feeling
between the peoples of the United
States and Great Britain. Mr.. Root
| calls special attention to what thfs
international statesmen did to bring
about concord between this country
and Canada. At tho time he wac

United States there were many causes

Perhaps the greatest value OF the
published works of James Bryce ie
that they Represented first hand in

theory or upon quoting the opinions OF
others. but he went after the facts
and then presented them in an i'm.
partial and Illuminating manner. He
looked upon the best sides of men and
