POLITICIANS GET INTO ACTION

Amateur politicians on the Univer-
sity of Arizona campus are beginning
TO get into action in anticipation Of
the annual student body elections to
take place the latter part of this
month.
so far no candidates have come out
in the open in announcing their in
tention to run, but several names are
being whispered on the campus as
almost certain candidates. The great
est interest will center around the
campaign for student body president
although even at this early date con-
siderable interest is being shown in
the possible candidates for editors Of
the two publications, the Arizona
Wildcat and the Desert.

in busses alone exceeds $275,000 and
property Of a value OF at least
$50, 900 has been converted to the
use Of the busses. The extent to
which this branch Of the COM
pany's business viii be developed In

the public which the company has
declared it Is ready, willing and

as street cars.

MPANY GIVES
ANS FOR 1926
Schedule, Improved
81 More Buses Among
Promises for Year.

a Emerging from a year in, which 1t
MAS extended transportation facilities
to greater number of indianapolis
residents than ever before, the In
Indianapolis Street Railway Company
is well started on an Improvement
8program for 1925 designed to keep
Hpace with the growth OF Indian
3apolis.
q In 1926 the company established
approximately sixty miles OF bus
routes, rebuilt the greatest amount
of trackage since 1901, succeeded in
shortening the schedule time of its
wears on all lines and simultaneous
#ly reduced the number Of accidents
Xby approximately 20 per cent
i In 1926 the company plans to con-
ytinue rebuilding Of tracks, to re-
model 100 street cars, to extend its
bus service in accordance with the
necessities Of traffic, and, If possi-
BILE, to better the power situation on
it's lines by the erection of sub-sta-
tions.
Three Bus Lines
The greatest single addition of the
Street Car Company to the trans
portation facilities of Indianapolis in
the last year has been the establish
ment of three through bus lines and
serving at least $4,000 citizens who
have not heretofore had easy access
to transportation lines.
Immediately following the taking
effect of an act Of the last Legis-
Nature granting the company the
legal right to operate motor busses,
the company started feeder lines into
developing territory beyond its car
tracks. Thereafter it established
through lines from Monument Circle
into territory that was difficult of
access by street cars.
a The plan of augmenting the serv-
Ne of the established street car lines
~ the use of connecting busses, and
adding through bus lines when
the public convenience of such
zee becomes apparent has been
hTffTiy established by the company
whose representatives are constant
ly studying traffic needs with view
to laying out such lines.

months the street car company be-

operation Of street cars. II has sue
ceeded in reducing the running time
of street cars on some lines by as
much as ten minutes between ter
minals and the average speed per
mile OF the system is now 9:57 miles
per hour, In the face OF faster
schedules and the continued cenges-
ton OF Indianapolis streets reduc-
ton OF approximately 20 per cent
In the number OF accidents for the
year has resulted from rigid en-
forcement rules and work with the
personnel OF the car crews
While Il is fact that the gross
revenues OF the street car company
have not been as large as the esti>
mates made at the time OF the grant
ing OF Increased fares, IN 1924, 1t Is
also a fact that the company has
succeeded In making many Improve

the development In step with the
future growths OF the city.
Morc Cars
Increased power facilities. more
cars and more buses are enumerated
as among he necessary future de-
velopment of the present system
The year 1925 was the first COM
plete year OF operation under the
order Of the Public Service Commits
sion of April Is. 1924. which estab-
lished the six and quarter cent
ticket fare. Accompanying this
order was the priviso that revenue
earned in excess OF the revenues for
corresponding periods in 1928 should
go into a special fund for maintten-
ance purposes only AT the time
this order was issued it was esti-
mated that under its terms $500, 900
a year would be available for renewal
Of the system These estimates were
never realized, the traffic in 1925
having fallen off to an extent that
the increase in fares brought no ad
ditional revenue to the company. For
the first ten months of the year,
there was $95, 742.25 shrinkage in the

An idea OF the scope OF the re-
building done In the year can be
gathered from the fact that the COM
pany used $500 tons OF steel, IS.
ties, $4,000 paving bricks and 60. 900
paving stones.
In connection with this work. s.
500 rail joints were welded by the
thernit process. making continuous
steel rails on which cars operate
more smoothly and with less loss
of electric energy
Seventy-flve cars were completely
overhauled and remodeled In the
company's shops during the year
and the program for the coming year
calls for the remodeling of 100 street
cars, which win be fitted so that
they can be operated as one-man
cars when desired. One-man cars
were placed in operation on the Ala
bama, Lexington and Minnesota
lines during the year, and 1t is
planned to extend this method of
operation to other lines in 1925 be-
cause of it's economy and satisfac-
tory results.

full analysis of the beams in our own eyes. He
thought healthful development of self-denial
would be to begin denying ourselves the some
times too real pleasure of finding faults in the
motives and conduct of our associates, and at
the same time cultivate the denial of what we
want to do rather than what we ought to do
He urged the broad responsibility of individual
action in it's effect on the lives of others, even
when it may have no very direct moral result
in harm to ourselves. It was plea for more
liberation for others and less for self-more
consideration for our neighbors-mor intelli-
gent and enlightened social cooperation in
community life
Of course every preacher aims higher than
he expects to hit, but when he starts people
along the way he points out, good always re-
suits. This, we think, is the community value
of Pastor Gebhardt's sermon yesterday morn
ing. It was plain common sense, with the con-
illusions of which none of us can disagree
none can fail to benefit by it's application, SO
far as it may be applied The farther it is ap-
piled, the better for everybody. One of the
serious evils of community life is the social
cast of mind engendered by fussy, gossipy and
oft-times merely bilious back-biting, for which
there is no basis. People who indulge them
selves in this sort of amusement always harm
themselves most. That is not the point It is
not the individual who is harmed that is the
concern Of society, it is that one of it's mem
bers is harmed. It is of no social consequence
that it is the harmer who is harmed. The peo-
pie who heard Pastor Gebhardt's sermon
could not fail to get new grasp on their real
responsibilities to their fellows-and So,
though only few could hear his helpful words
we will all benefit by them as those who heard
them and were impressed by them, carry that
impress out into the life of the community.
Incidentally we noted that with an enroll
ment of 800 in the Sunday school, there was
an attendance yesterday of 304-95 per cent
That is also important to the community. The
more attendance there is at Sunday school
now, the smaller will be the pool room attend
ance of future Sunday mornings, and SO far as
constructive citizenship is concerned, the Sun
day schools are preferable to the poolrooms.

Daily Health Hint
EARACHE CAN BE RELIEVED.

Many mothers are able to determine
whether or not their babies have the
earache from movements of the baby's
hands.
Often the badly, even when at very
young age, will attempt to get his
hand to the ear when panied by ear
ache.
Heat is one of the simplest and
best remedies. The child should lie
with the ear against hot water bag.
or a warm flannel cloth. Be careful
that the heat is not enough to burn.
If this does not help, syringe the
ear with warm water. 1t should be
about los or 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
When a pea or bean becomes lodged
in the ear, DON'T pour water into the
ear. 1t will, cause the seed to swell.
Water is an excellent remedy when
insects crawl into the ear. Usually
there is wax in the ear, through which
an insect can not pass. Even if it
does, there is membrance which pre-
vents insects from entering beyond
point where they may be reached.
Call a doctor if you are not sue
cessfu1 in removing an object from
the ear.

SELF-DENIAL.

Kenosha would be very much better place
to live in than even it is now, if everybody
could profit by the inspiring and helpful SER
mon preached yesterday morning at Grace
Lutheran church by Pastor Gebhardt So
would every other community. It was plain,
homespun, effective presentation of very i'm
portant social principle. The Pastor elucidated
the theme of SELF denial for everyday use.
There was little academic discussion or theo-
logical postulation, but there was very much
sound sense, such as we can all get some es-
sentially practical advantage from, whether
we belong to the flock of the Pastor, or any
other. flock or even no flock at ALL
Pastor Gebhardt's idea, as we got it, is that
you can't live in any community without a full
measure of responsibility to your fellows for
the conduct of your life In vague way we
all know this of course, but it does no harm
now and then to sit down with ourselves and
check over the extent to which we discharge
the responsibility. While acknowledging the
need for unsparing and incorporating con-
den1nation of positive evil and immortality, the
Pastor forcefully decried the all too common
practice of spending too much time in CONVEX
sational consideration of notes in the eyes of
our neighbors, and entirely too little in care
