They had been created by private capital, though often with generous subsidies from the public treasury: As time went on not only the necessities of the people, but their conception of popular rights, underwent a gradual change. | The highway was a public utility vital to the existence of the sorest man, though he walked without a cent in his poc ket he public came to see that the highway ought to be free to all Various attempts to regulate the monopoly proved futile. | The toll road owners were a power in politics. The courts PROTECTED THE RIGHTS OF PROPERTY. Still the people chafed under private ownership of highways, and still} they dreamed of the free highway open to the use of all. The acute stage of the controversy was reached in 1896.} The people declared that money which ought to be used to improve the roads was paid out in dividends, Balked in the } ! courts, they resorted to force. Night riders tore down the t alt gates, burned the toll houses and threw the roads open to the public The owners again appealed to the courts, offering to sell their interest in the roads at what they considered them worth The people insisted that the property was worth the price for which it was assessed, and no more Then the toll road owners reat what they had sown They had always kept down the valuation of the property in order to avoid taxation, just as the railroads have done and are| doing. In the end, which was reached only a few years ago, | freed their highways and the owners ey could get.

They are vital to the life of the people Their owners have controlled the taxing power, the legislative power, and even the power of the courts, in order to protect their dividends The wrath of the people, when once aroused, is terrible The time to reason is now. Let the matter go on with growing acrimony until it becomes simply a question of who has the power in this country, and injustice may be done THE POWER LIES ABSOLUTELY WITH THE MANY-HEADED PEOPLE. Creases and Styles Tt was only a few years ago that when a man appeared on the street with creases in his trousers, the whole neighborhood hooted him. Now he MUST have the creases. Then women wore 4 hats—now they wear enormous contraptions that, even actually obstruct the highways and street car aisles. It fs not so long since women wore bustles and hoopskirte—and now they are “straight up and down.” Very few men these sensible days inflict upon themselves the agony of collars three inches high. Not many women are torturing their feet with shoes on which the heels have been built to look like sharpene ead pencils Even little children look comfortable as they trot along beside mamma—and when you have induced a fond mothe sacrifice good looks to common sense as regards her little daug' t or smal! son, you are going some!
