Limit the Trolley Cars.

There cannot be two opinions as to
the continual peril in which the present
| fast running of trolley cars down the
grades on several of our central streets
| environs our playing children. The fate
of little Merritt Lawrence on Adams
avenue yesterday afternoon, while in
expressibly sad in itself, is almost a
foreseen consequence of the indefens-
ible rapidly with which cars on that
street have been operated for many
months. Down trips at the rate of Is
miles an hour, often made without the
sounding of any signal or any abate-
ment of speed at intersecting streets,
are frequent happenings under the free
| and-easy policy now in vogue touching
the municipal regulation of local trolley
transit; and in several cases the speed
has reached 20 miles an hour.
The mayor in his recent message
urged upon councils the need of a spe-
cial ordinance to restrict the running
of street cars on our principal streets
to five miles an hour, and to require
cars to pause at each street crossing
Had such an ordinance as this been in
force yesterday on Adams avenue it
seems reasonable to suppose, from the
known circumstances of the accident
at the Olive street crossing, that little
Merritt Lawrence's life would not have
been sacrificed to the trolley jugger-
naut. But whether it would have ap-
piled to this case or not. the fact is
clear that such an ordinance is needed,
imperatively; and councils should lose
no time in pushing one through.
1t should not be inferred from these
remarks that we share the sentiment of
| unreasonable opposition to the Traction
| company which would lay obstacles in
it's pathway solely for the reason that
it is a large corporation. 1t can and
should be made to subserve an inval-
| able public purpose in our scattered
community, by bringing the means Of
cheap travel home to every part of it.
But in serving this purpose it must not
become unduly familiar with our repre-
sentatives in councils, play sharp on the
city which permits it to enrich itself
by the free use of the public thorough
fares. nor slaughter human beings by
the criminally rapid running of it's cars
or by it's neglect to equip those cars
with suitable appliances for the safe
| guarding of human life.
