HE EVENING WORLD'S fight for a cheap and popular taxicab service brought crushing defeat to the Taxicab ‘Trust yester- day when the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court sus- tained the recent decision of Justice Seabury and declared tne ordi- nanco which this newspaper tirelessly urged until it passed the Board of Aldermen legal and valid. When The Evening World determined to put an end to taxicab graft and ertortion it based ite efforts upon an ordinance framed to protect the public and still offer free and fair competition to taxi- cab interests. That ordinance was prepared with greatest care and foresight. Honest taxicab proprietors have welcomed it and have made money by conforming to it. It has stood the severest judicial tests, Tt has Proved itself a sound municipal lew. Now enforce it. ne ae Pindell Nomination Held Up—Headiine. 1 blows bot and cold in Petersburg. oto HELP THE Y. % C. A. TO WIN OUT.

To dwell upon the admirable aim and purpose of these associa- tHons is merely to insist upon what everybody knows to be one of the atrongest forces for the help of young men and women that the world has ever felt. The point is now that these organizations have eet themselves a wolossal task of money raising. By unflagging enthusiaem and bril- Nant rashes of hard work they have touched the $8,000,000 mark. Monday and Monday evening must eve the end. Would it not be vastly to the credit of this big and wealthy city to tise to this occasion next Monday end with pennies, dollars, tens of Gollars, hundreds of dollars, thonsands of dollars rush the campaign throagh toe brillisnt victory?

If come one wove to take stock most eny night of the thousands tf out-of-town guests who contribute joyfully to the maintenance of ithe glitter and glare of frivolous Broadway, we fancy Chicagoans ywould not be conspicuous by their absence.
