''It seems very queer" said :. as we
passed along Third avenue at a time
when trafic was heaviest.
What does?" asked the veterinary
surgeon.
why. that nearly every horse left
standing for any length of time near
the curbstone along this street finally
veers around and places his ferefeet
upon the pavement" answered.
Five horses out -pf every half dozen
do that" said he. why? Because the
horse has a great deal OF sense, as con-
stantiy exploited, and will not volun-
tarily submit to discomfort when il IN
within his power to avoid 1t. Standing
on slope or at an angle OF the street
throws all the enormous weight OF n
horse upon one side. causing strain,
and eventually painful exhaustion. He
can travel all day long without suffer
ing one-half the fatigue caused him by
twenty minutes stand on the slope.
So when he is left TO rest at an angle
for any time he VIII turn around. If
near enough. and plant his forefeet
upon the pavement, as you have OBJ
served. This gives him a better plane
and adjusts his weight more equally.
Many OF the muscular ailments TO
which the horse is heir" concluded the
veterinarian. ARE really induced by
continuous standing at the gutter side,
where the slope OF the street is greatest.
A good driver will always seek To
avoid such angles as far as practice
able.'-N. Y. Herald.

Burnham. J. M. studIey, C. II. Mathew
son, members OF the Board of License
Commissioners:
Gentlemen-If you had children at
tending a public school in this city,
would you take kindly to the sugges-
tion that a liquor saloon should be To-
Gated within 125 feet of Il?
Would you consider. just because Ii
cense board had power either to grant
or TO refuse an application for such a
license. that the board would be con-
serving the public interests. to do
which. OF course. is the first business of
all public officials. il IT granted such
application instead of refusing II?
We believe we may accurately an
ticipate your answer.
1t would be NO. to both questions.

UNDER FIRE.

The Providence News has the license
commissioners under fire.--Olneyvills
Times.
Well, all they need do to hear the
order "cease firing is to restore that
sign: Keep of the school house
grass!"
And, after all, II Is not the license
board that is under fire-not yet. Until
we know differently. we must count the
license board as our allies in the fight
in behalf OF the vital principle attacked
by the Dorney application.

ton OF the board on "wednesday after
noon 10 all one way There II abso
lutely no responsibility to Dorney. Bu
tremendous is the responsibility to th'
public sentiment OF Providence. Sec
tion 2 of the license statute declares
that the boards may grant or REFUSE
| TO grant licenses, as they may think
proper'-and from their Judgment oi
what Is proper there can be no appeal
| by the applicant for license--onIy by
public sentiment. The burden OF proof
to demonstrate propriety is on the ap-
plicant for license. And In this in
stance there is not enough of case to
even entitle the applicant to hear
ing.
The glaring fact Is that. right or
wrong, Dorney expects. or did expect.
20 accomplish with the present license
board what no other man ever before
could have hoped to secure from any
license board in the city of Providence.
Every member Of the license board who
votes to approve Dorney's application
does so with his eyes open to the In
dubitable truth that 1t is not public
service that he is performing. but solely
a service to Dorney. More than that,
he will know, II he knows anything.
that in doing Dorney such a service
he will be violating his own duty to the
public, TO the municipal corporation. to
every interest of propriety that should
appeal to him and at the sacrifice OF
the good opinion of the vast majority OF
his fellow citizens which he has form
eriy enjoyed.
And It is because in the intelligence
and integrity Of majority of the Ii
cense board, once those qualities are
appealed to, there is. on the whole. a
pretty good measure OF confidence that
we cannot believe Dorney's application
will be granted. For no petty boast
ings. because so far as our contempo-
raries are concerned we have stood
alone In this fight. would The News re-
joice upon action of the license board
favorable TO public sentiment and un-
favorable to Dorney. We should be
glad for such conclusion of the mat
ter simply because it would be an
augury for the future OF common sense
and right on the part of the license
board In the often intricate and often
delicate business which they are en-
powered to do, q demonstration that,
despite mistakes that may be COM
mitted and differences Of opinion that
may be developed. the present license
board will continue TO be worthy OF the
trust which every public Official should
command from the people.

According to the latest report OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission. the
number OF passengers carried on Amer
lean railroads during the year endins

making a grand total OF travellers on

Now 1t appears from the roll of acci-
dents for this same period that the total
number of casualties to persons on ac-
count of railway accidents was 43.l6s.

In these figures are casualties to per-
sons classed as trespassers, of whom
1919 were killed and 4732 were injured.
From summaries showing the ratio of
casualties. II appears that 1 out Of every
4s6 employees was killed and out OF
every 800 employees was injured during
the year. With respect to trainmen,
including enginemen, firemen, conduct
ors and other trainmen, 1t appears that
was killed for every 165 employed and
1 injured for every IL employed. One
passenger was killed for every 2,204, ,70S
carried. and injured for every 175.115
carried.
The contrast between the proportion
ate casualties to railroad employees and
to passengers is very impressive, and
not encouraging to persons looking to
railroading as vocation. The per-
centage of one train hand injured out
of every IL employed is doubtless en-
titled to the consideration that many Of
the injuries were no more serious than
would be encountered in other employ
ment. Nevertheless, one killed out Of
every 165 employed is a startling rec

The Board OF License Commissioners
Is in session Wednesday afternoon at 1
o'clock.
1t has for. consideration and public
hearing batch OF applications for
transfer Of licenses.
The batch includes an application
from Edward j. Grimes to transfer a
license. now In operation at s25 North
Main street, to Thomas j. Dorney, who
wants to go into business. under the
license, at 21l Atwell's avenue, which
location is just 124 feet from the At
wells avenue primary school.
When The News came across this ap-
plication and. by study OF the map of
the city of Providence. recognized its
significance. IL made known the facts to
the people OF Providence. And since
then It has pretty steadily hammered
away at the case with a view to i'm
pressing upon the license commissioners
the Importance of taking no such action
as Dorney asks II they have any respect
for public opinion. or for themselves as
public officials intrusted with large au-
thority and serious responsibilities.
The News was not moved to take up
this case SO seriously and at such
length for the sake of any personal ar
gument with Dorney, but because of
the principle involved in his applica-
tion. Were he OF vast deal more i'm
portance in the public eye than he ever
was. is. or is ever likely to be, The
News would not feel II necessary to de-
vote 80 much attention to Dorney as IL
has. except that he is now the instru-
ment of revolution: that he stands for
an unprecedented movement to over
throw long-standing public senti-
ment; that. by his application, he
threatens serious danger and damage
TO our public schools; that he is become
menace to the welfare of our children
>y reason of breaking down the bar
riers so long maintained against a busi-
ness which. even our fellow citizens |
who are engaged in II agree with the |

Of the most vital restrictions.
II would evidently be better to have
twice the number OF liquor saloons au-
thorixed than are now permitted: It
would .Ls better to have the town sprin-
killed. with kitchen bar rooms: indeed.
most anything would be better than the
breaking OF the unwritten law that pro-
tects the public schools.
II is not Dorney's application that the
license board has to consider. but Il is
the vital principle which is at stake in |
the application on which the license
board is called 10 act. And long estab-
isneo precedent. the public temper and
the conscienccs OF the commissioners
ought to make Il easy to decide. Who
and what is Dorney that he should cre-
ate any doubt or indecision in the
minds Of five reputable citizens OF
Providence as to how they should act
on such a rropoeiffon7 Apalnsf o,ch a
principle as that involved. Dorney's or
anybody eIse's private .interests are
worthy Of not seconds consideration.
Ordinarily we would suppose that such
. proposition az he has made is an
Insult TO the intelligence and the In
sesrity Of every man on the License
Doord.
