The question is sometimes raised whether the street car and trolley are not going the way of the omnibus, stage coach, and horse-car left behind in the march of progress, becom ing obsolete to be superceeded by a newer and cheaper form of transportation. If the properly regulated and responsible motor-bus line, still in the infancy of development, can furnish as good or better service at lower cost than the trolley, the latter is doomed, for no amount of artificial aid and temporary support can in the lonjr run prevent it. Inexorable economic law decrees the survival of the fit test in industry, and though government assistance and con trol of investment capital, may for a time bolster up economic waste, sooner or later business must rest on its own merits fdofc UK- f asF 9 vjk sr ii I i i as sn v i you are my greatest enemy and I shall see that you shall not get a second,'.".

Sunday Gosing Clause Is Killed In Pool Hall BUt On motion of Ralph Thompson, the ordinance committee of the City council, at a special meeting held In the city hall lant night, toted unanimously to eliminate from the so called pool hall ordi nance that clause which had for Its purpose the closing of pool balls on Sundays. The clause also Dad specified that billiard par lors should be locked by midnight on week days. Whether or not the two ordi nances considered lost night will in any way affect Salem pool ball proprietors will depend on action taken by the council at Its next regular meeting. At present the bills have received the formal ap proval only of the ordinance com mittee. The ordinance, which would put pool hall proprietors well un der the rontr.il of the city alder men, provide that no soft drink merchant may have a license un less he first has reeommendiUlnns from go lew than six freeholders situated within 600 reet of his proposed location. For his pool tables he shall be charged a li cense fee of fIS each. No pertfon under tl years of age may be al lowed to handle a cue Is bis es tablishment.
