Our Cities Learning Very Slowly? HE FOLKS in New York city last year paid for gas, -al travel an average of $30 apiece ate monopoly, which took a fat toll electricity and lc They paid this to priv of profit % It was far and away the biggest tax they paid, The city cleaned the streets—at cost The city toted the garbage in which there wasn’t a big profit. But the services in which there was a big profit were farmed out to a few, who thus became privileged and had a money stake in squeezing out of the people all they could squeeze. That was the condition in the largest American city at the beginning of the 14th year of the 20th century, With few exceptions, it was the condition in all our cities We had only begun to learn that if we could, by co- operation, do the dirty work, in which there is expense with- out profit, we might easily do the easy work in which the profit is large, and turn that profit into the general account. It seems odd that we should have been so long ‘a mak- ing that simple discovery Do you imagine that by the beginning of the 21st cen- tury of Christian civilization there will remain in free-schooled America a city so dense as to keep for itself all the lean while allowing a few to monopolize the fat? THOSE ®KUNK raisers in Missouri shouldn't have to live In fear of sheep stealers or chicken thieves, anyhow. Don’t Be Misled on 3-Cent Fare OOK out for misleading headings in certain newspapers on the three-cent fare situation in Cleveland. “Traction Company and City Agree on One Cent Increase,” reads one, a sample of many. Here are the facts: Recently an old power house and some old cars were scrapped. This meant an over-draft of about a million dol- its plant run down. for a transfer, which is returned when the transfer is used. To make up the over-draft, the new plan is to give the penny to the company, yielding $750,000 extra in a year. But per- sons who don’t need transfers—the great majority—will con- tinue to ride for three cents. up, the transfer will again become free. This was all foreseen and. provided for in the so-called ' Tayler settlement, which automatically raises or lowers the _ fare to fit the street railway There is no chance for the company to raise fares service. For three cents you can ride eight miles in Cleveland in any American city, run by workers who get pay; and for another penny you can ride eight miles AT Last ives Sane aa si Pet yr! lit ad ekirts. A Seattic preacher they they can kneel in prayer Maybe They Weren't Broke had just paid him their last SO cents as a fee: life broke.” But were they broke, judge? They had each other. They must have strongly loved each other. Marriage is a risk of all. These two took all the risks. How do marriages, where one has much money and the other little, often eventuate? turn out? Is *here really any safer capital for the married state than love that takes all risks? Is it ease, luxury, plenty that bind men and women to- gether for eternity and promote the fulfillment of the real obligations of marriage, or is it mutual endeavor, trial and triumph over difficulties? Pianos for Every Price and Purpose It Has Been Said That One Can- not Tell From the Looks of a Toad How Far It Can Hop This is eminently true of pianos. As a general rule the cheaper and more unreliable a piano js, the more attractive the outside is made. Workmanship and first-class material must enter into a piano if you expect to get music and satisfaction out of It. You can rely implicitly upon anything we tell you about the g00d points and shortcomings of any instrument on our floors. We have all kinds of pianos for all kinds of and we will do our best to see that you get one that 1s best adapted to your purpose. Just now you can buy a fine plano at a great saving in price and you can take practically your own time paying for one. We stand ready to name you prices which we know to be the lowest in all the country, quality considered. It is worth your while to look into this.
