HAT a wonderful opportunity the Seattle Electric Co. had to win a word of commendation froth the people of this city immediately fo ofa permanent injunction restraining its ordinance requiring the sale of ti Supposing Jacob Furth, president Co., should have caused to be published over 8 “Deis the ruling of the federal court in the matter of the sale of tickets upon street cars in the city of Seattle, the Seattle Electric Co., cognizant of the fact that this method is of wonderful convenience to the people, desires to announce that the sale of tickets upon street cars will continue without change.” What a wonderful have brought about in the relations of t Seattle Electric Co.! It isn’t that the this. All over the United States and Canada street ca are sold upon street cars. 3 c And in the a cekey of cities transiers yayment of a ticket for a fare : = : \ Aye Seattle have never been granted this latter priv- ilege. It was only after a battle waged by The Star on the outside and Councilman Eric , ordinance was passed requiring even that we be permitted to purchase at the most convenient _point—aboard the street cars—six tickets for a quarter, or 25 for a dollar. | ; And now the federal court steps in and deprives us of that privilege, and tells us that if we would have relief we must go to the public service commission of the state. We have given to the Seattle Electric Co. our streets, and we have voted them franchises under which they may Jay their tracks and operate their cars, and now we must sit idly by and accept whatever rules and regulations the officials of this corporation may make for us. Truy this big corporation is killing the goose that has been laying the golden egg. Aside from its imterest in , of Seattle, The Star feels that it possesses an obligation carry this fight to a successful issue because it was at the instigation of this newspaper that the ordinance was intro duced into the council which the federal court tells us cannot be enforced. And The Star JUST NOW It occurs to many who had not approved the judicial recall before, that no matter how crazy, Insane, silly and absurd a judge may be, the people are absolutely powerless to remove him. ° The Thing They Feel SAN FRANCISCO artist representing the Scripps papers A was arrested and fined for trying to get a picture in the courtroom where that Diggs white-slave case was being tried and Diggs triumphantly exclaimed : lowing issuance by Judge Rudkin the city from enforcing kets upon street cars! of the Seattle Electric his signature, difference such an announcement would he people with the Seattle Electric Co, couldn't afford to do r tickets are given upon behalf of the people of the city to will not neglect this obligation. “I don’t want my picture sown broadcast all over this | country as a white-slaver !” : We are not much interested in the law’s punishment of such as Diggs. That punishment falls heaviest on the innocent—the wife, father, mother and children, if any. In very, very many instances it is the innocent and not the guilty who suffer most by the disgrace, the fine or the imprisonment. Men defy both the law and its pun- jshment and are callous to penalties of fines and a term ‘in prison. ' But there is a penalty that surely reaches the guilty and that most men 2 see dread. There are few men who can stand the public scorn they've earned by mean, cowardly and lascivious conduct. ‘There are men, some of them pretty high up, too, who never wince under accusation of low craftiness or extortion or even that which smacks of dishonesty in business opera- tions, but rare and ig stg f low is the breed that cannot be punished by public scorn for deserting good wives and children and betraying girls to their everlasting ruin. JUDGE HUMPHRIES Issued an injunction against the mayor, although the latter was not a party to the suit, to stop him from mak- ing a street speech. Hurrah for government by Injunction! Mattie and Her $37,000 Biscuit AYBE there’s a moral in the experience of Mrs. Mattie | Hannun, who at Evansville, Ind. as the story runs, recently collected a $37,000 reward for having, 24 years ago, given to a man who appeared to be a tramp, a cold biscuit and a cup of coffee. § And the how of it was thus: One day an eccentric wanderer called at a house in Vincennes, in which Mattic worked as a maid, and asked for a bite to eat. The man of the house drove him away; but Mattie, tenderer hearted, watched her chance and gave him the makings of a meal. Her kindness so impressed the wanderer that he went to a house nearby, borrowed a piece of brown paper and on it wrote his will, naming Mattie as his heir. The years flew. In a hovel on the edge of Evansville a demented miser lived alone. Finally he had to be taken to an asylum, where he died. Beneath the hovel’s floor the curious neighbors found over $50,000 hoarded. Then Mattie remembered her will and after a long lawsuit she obtained “peepee of the bulk of the recluse’s fortune, for it was i¢ to whom she had given that lucky hand-out. We say maybe there's a moral in this tale, but some- how we don’t find it easy to locate. Yet we're glad Mattie realized on her adventure in hilanthropy. Virtue, of course, is its own best reward; but E there had been no other in this case, where would we have found so interesting a story? HUERTA SAYS he ought to be recognized: There are those who would go further. They would also identify him, convict him, and send him over the Madero route. ANYHOW, EX-JUDGE HANFORD wasn’t the only pebble on the beach. They're now trying to impeach Federal Judge Speer In Georgia. “YOU'RE A WORTHLESS HUNK OF MEAT,” said Judge Hum- phries from the bench to a socialist. And to another he said: “You have no more business here than a pig.” Respect for the courts? Sure! A decapitated human body was found roiling in the surf at San Francisco. Poor fellow! Doubtless he had ventured out beyond his depth and lost his head.
