The Withdrawal of the Herdics.

A suggestion from a correspondent of

Inconvenience caused by the sudden stop
ping of the herdic service. ought to be con-
stdered by the authorities. This sugges-
ton is that the authorities when they
grant privileges to q line Of vehicles like
the herdics. should reserve to themselves
some control of it. The streets were given
up 10. and the street pavements worn out
by. the herdics, and still there was no con-
tract with the public, that prevented the
officers of the company, when 1t suited
them. from stopping the service practically
without notice, and thus inconveniencing
parts of the community. Before another
such company is permitted to begin bust
ness in Washington. and 1t is not unlikely
that the motor carriage will appear before

pete for passenger traffic. conditions should
be imposed, giving the Commissioners some
control over the routes, schedules and
fares. and giving the public some guaran-
tee that they will not be suddenly deprived
of conveniences to which they may have

notice that he would riEidly enforce these

declaration reflects credit on the new dis

stance, however, if he would go n step
further. and also ask the chief Justice to
call the attention Of the grand jury to the
violations of the cIeomargarine laws. which

clients even to the Supreme Court of the
Unite.i States. 1t was no reflection on the
earnestuesS or fidelity of Mr.. Davis that
the final tribunal upheld the findings OF the
trial court and the Court of Appeals, and
affirmed the sentences. notably in the cases
of Messrs- Lusby ami Kollock. who paid
the fines and served the brief terms of
Imprisonment in jail imposed upon them.
There are nearly fifty indictments now
pending against parties charged with Of
fe2seS similar to those of Messrs. Lusoy
and Koilock. and a vigorous enforcement
OF the laws would unqUestionably increase
this number three or fOur-fold. Violations
OF the gambling laws affect only those, di-
reCtly, who desire TO WOO the chances of
OF fortune, but violations of the oleomar-
Earine laws dishonesty impose upon
very large portion of the community. There
can be no doubt that District Attorney
Davis will be as faithful to the duties of
his Office in the prosecution of the oleo-
Margarine law-breakers as in the case of
