“This bill gives the Borough Street
Railway company the right to use

It gives them the right to charge tive

one paragraph there's a clause permit

want one. By another paragraph's con
cessions they can build a conduit and
lease it out for telephone or telegraph
wires. By another they cau do an ex
press business. But ail these provi
sions are as nothing compared to tlie
fact that the bill gives the streets
a love and below ground to t lie Bor
ough company forever and ever—not
for a term of years, but uutil the end

the company not only for our time, but
for always, and binds us and our de

‘ It’s a fake”
“it is a hona fide oiler. He volun

yon. Mr. Horrlgan. is this: If the fran

and your faction iu the board of aider
men so anxious to give it away for
nothing?”
"Look here!” blustered the boss
"I am looking.” returned Bennett
“I've iteen looking deejter into it titan,
you realize. I asked you a question
just now I'll answer it myself iti
one word -‘draft!’ That is why you
want to give away a franchise that is
worth S2.it t'!»'it.'‘
“Graft!” snorted IIorrigan contemptu
ously. “The same old reformer howl!
What's your itiea of graft anyway?"
“Graft is unearned increment. Money
to which the recipient has no legal or
moral right That is”—
“So! Then show me the man who
ain’t a grafter! A lawyer shows his
client how to evade the law. and he
takes a fee for doing it What's that
