TO KILL BUS SERVICE.
WHOSE FROZEN WASTES?
YES SIR, RATHER FIGHT.
IHINDENBURG'S ELECTION.
Massachusetts considers a propo
sition interesting to other States.
The idea is to obljge railroads kill
ing competition annoying to them,
but useful to the public, by inter
ferring with omnibus passenger
lines The scheme is cleverly
worked out.
First, owners of omnibuses using
public roads would be compelled to
get certificates of public necessity
and ur.ency.
That isr't so very dangerous, be
cause public opinion which would
^demand a convenient omnibus ser
vice co&.d bring pressure to bear
on Legislature.
But it would also be necessary
for ar omnibus lir.e to get a per
mit from the local authorities of
every little town ar.d village
through-which it might pass. With
such a law in force it would only
be necessary for the railroad to
buy one or two little local bodies?
an,, that wouldn't be difficult.
The railroads need something to
write them up, and they ought to
he grateful for mild omnibus com
petition. By and by thoy will have
rr.d competition in the airplane
route-. And even railroads will
hardly uggeat that the people
haven't a right to fly through their
ovr atmosphere without special
permission,
The omnibus line as a medium
cf lory-distance transportation is
t .ilir.'a.-..: fr.ci. Yau may tide
by bus all the way from San Diego
tc Seattle, the whole length of out
V, .tiers coast.
Cut what,
have become of the nations now
claiming Polar lands? They will
rave vanished more completely
than the 22 separate kingdoms
that met the Conqueror when he
landed in Britan.
And what we call civilization will
then be part of a disagreeable past,
-tudied, as we now study the Bush
nan, African pygmies, and the
'head hunters" of Borneo.
If buses wear out the roads, part j
of their earnings should be used
tc keep the roads in repair. But
omr.iSus lines should be encouraged
everywhere.

* Four nations are racing to reach
the llorth Pole. MacMlllon hopes
to arrive first with the American
'rag and his two airships.
Anyhow, whatever happens in
this race, the United States
coached the Pole first.
As to "owning" that territory,
there need be no quarrel. There Is
:1 .there, within the Arctic. The
Rockefellers have actually proved '
;t and produced it, although they
do not mean to bring it out.
And as the Pole shifts, the dif
ferent stars one after another be- ?
come our Northern star, which is
r.ot at ail "fixed ard unchanging."
Today's Pclar lands will lose their
nrpet of ice, ir.cn will live there,
or, fertile fields, an-l i'olar night"
will be located els
Man by nature delights in
truggle. At Columbia, South
Carolina, beside the railroad track,
iwr barefoot colored boys from
fifteen to six year3 of age called
?ul, "Thrown a nickel in the air
md we'll fight for it."
The sugrestion that the smallest
oy would hove little ihaine fouiat
o favor. All four boys were dis
inoifttcd wh'.i each recurved' his
cke.l without, n struggV Evt'i
.j smallest boy said, " Vcs, sir,
a'd rather fight for it."
There is a moral for employers.
Give your men on salary a
:.r.ncc t? inalte something extra
?y "fighting" for extra (business
. 1 dxtra profit. Only profit
haimg gets the best out of a atari.
