More than score of monuments over

Senator Frelinghuysen also made

The senator did not lose sigh. of

outlined the many accomplishments

THE STREET CARS
RIGHT-OF-WAY

The first street car tracks con-
sisted of wooden stringers on the
top of which iron straps" were
nailed. Cinders or gravel was
dumped in between to make the
going easier for the horses or mules
which drew the csxs.
Now, the standard track is laid
with a girder rail that runs from 80
TO 1o1 pounds to the yard, and.
although the use Of the horse and
the mule as motive power for the
street car is no longer known, stons
block, asphalt, brick or wood-block4
on a concrete base, is laid between
and outside of the rails at the car
riders expense.
It's the trackman's job to ray
track and keep 1t in repair, and not
withstanding that no benefit is con-
ferred on passenger or company
thereby, he must also lay and repair
the pavement that other vehicles
use and the car riders pay for.
Pavement in public streets ana
highways laid by Public Service
trackmen, without expense to tbs
taxpayer, would, if put together.
make a thirty-foot roadway 1870
miles long, or enough for two high
ways stretching completely across
the State from New York to Phila-
delphia-
No vehicle that uses public high
ways contributes so much to their
cost Of construction and main
tenance as do the street cars.

belief in the superiority Of that branch
of the common faith, which it is their
duty and pride to preach to the
heather. but it often results in an
undignihed competition. This open
display Of religious differences cannot
but react to the damage Of the Chris

Missionaries, by offering one doc

another a few miles away, achieve
little more than the complete bewil-
derment Of the pagan native, and

The statement of the committee that
he would not make fit judge must
have been prompted solely BY his

color. / guarantee that if any one

It i rare that any man attains the
popularity that has come to Judge
Joseph B. David in the seven years
on the Superior Court bench. He has
endeared himself to all classes BY the
courage and ability he has shown IN
every emergency.
He has in administering his great
Office known no race, color OF creed
He has hewed to the line Of right
and the chips have fallen where they
were due to fly. everywhere Re
Gently it has been necessary for him
to speak out on the subject Of the
hooded enemies of the republic. He
boldly. announced that no man who
was opposed to the administration Or
the law by the duly constituted au-
thorities was a fit person to sit on
a jury and pass upon the rights OF
the lawabiding. The Ku Klux Khan
was banished from his court AM
other judges after some hesitation
have followed his lead His examnl,
has dealt stunning blow to these
enemies Of the state and they are de
termined, as far as in their power Ii
to punish him by defeating him fot
the bench. If they outnumber tbs
good and lawabiding IL the count,
they will succeed They are in a mi
nority, but that minority threatens
under orders from Atlanta to defeat
him at all costs. 1t is the duty D.
those who need strong exponent Of
law and order on the bench to make
up what the Ku Klux will make him
lose, and more.
In critical situation in Kentucky
once Henry Watterson advised his
fellows to leave nothing to chance"
We must make Judge David's calling
and election sure.
We have an opportunity to elect a
great lawyer, a citizen of courage and
man whose heart is big enough to
hold boundless love for all his fellow
men. Judge David is all of these

He was one Of many hundreds who
voted against putting the word white

Bar Association when William H.
Lewis, then assistant attorney general
of the United States, was proposed for

He has on many occasions inquired
whether the effect of remanding a
petitioner would be to return him or

thirteenth amendment. Whenever he
has found this true he has acted not
only promptly but SO decidedly that

Dear sir:
/ desire to protest against the unfair
treatment received by Edward H.
Morris at the hands Of the Chicago Bar
Association and its committee. 1t rs
unfortunate that such direct insult
should be offered to the coIored peo-
pie of Chicago. 1t does no good to
the feeling that already exists due to
very narrow views Of many people.
The committees report on the can
didates for judges stated that Edward
H. Morris was a colored man. They
might as well have given the national
ity or race Of every other candidate
on the ticket, and the ticket Is made
up of various nationalities. They
stated that he was a man who had a
large practice, mainly in criminal
cases. | know of no reason why
lawyer engaged in the defense Of those
charged with crime should not be
good judge, but, as matter of fact.
Mr.. Morris practice has been mainly
civil for many years, which fact must
have been known to the committee
