PLENTY OF DISCUSSION.

In response to the first criticisms Of his &C.
ton in permitting chairs 10 be rented in the
public parks President Clausen insisted that the
privilege had been granted as an experiment
only and that he glad to have the matter
discussed publicly. Since then there have been
evidences that the head of the Park Depart
ment found the discussion not much TO his
liking inasmuch as it consisted principally Of
public expressions of indignation that such
contract ever should have been granted. Mr..
Clausen's latest view of the value of public ex-
pressions on the subject is indicated by his
assertion that it is too early 10 crticse the con-
tract and his references 10 the criticism which
has already been expressed as public clamor,'
of which the average Tammany statesman has
a wholesouled contempt We are inclined, how
ever, to take the view originally accepted by
President Clausen that public expressions on
this subject are of great value, especially ut a
time when the Tammany officials, despite their
inclinatons. may be supposed to be more than
ordinarily alert to the trend of public thought.
owing to the near approach of the Mayoralty
election The discussion thus far. for instance,
has developed several interesting points, among
them the fact that no person of any authority,
with the exception of President Clausen, who
made IT, has had a word 10 say in defence Of
the Spate contract
Mr.. Clausen's chief defence of the park chair
scheme is that certain other privileges have
been for long time granted in the parks
restaurants carrousels, the hiring out of
dOnkeys goat carts and boats. But as Mr.. An
drew H. Green points out I'm the course of this
discussion which President Clausen first in
vited and now considers premature visitors 10
the parks may enjoy the essential benefits there
to the full without patrOniZing these facilities
unless they wish to do so. On the other hand
seats for the rest and comfort of visitors are
absolute essentials. As Mr.. Green says II IS
almost ms Objectionable to charge for the prv-
"lege of sitting down in the park ii would he
"to charge for admission to the park itself. II
is true that there are public benches, but they
are not sufficient 10 accommodate the public,
and there is a crying need for their increase
and extension. Everybody knows that If there
were general system of pay seats in the parks
Il would he practically impossible 10 secure
proper increase of the free seats. Not only
would the pay seats render the increase Of the
free seats unlikely, hut also there Is plenty of
reason 10 fear that the pay seats would gradu
ally crowd out the others or crowd the others
into undesirable quarters. The sooner Mr.
Clausen realizes that the public is not pleased
and is in no mood 10 tolerate his experiment

FOR THE PROTECTION or PASSENGERS.

FOR THE PROTECTION or PASSENGERS.
The pres lent OF the Metropolitan Traction
Company declares that it is impractcable and.
indeed. impossible for that corporation 10 pro-
tect its patrons from indecent physical assault
If its agents attempted to do so ny fOrbidding
passengers 10 stand between the legs of those
seated in open cars they would he mauled half 10
death. We have already sufficiently exposed
the falacy and untenabity of this plea But
TO make IL easier still for the company or lis
agents. and 10 relieve the conductors of the
task OF enforcing Il rule which common decency
demands the suggestion of Il recent correspond
ent is to he commended to attention; or, rather,
plan suggested by his suggestion
our correspondents suggestion was that pas
sengers should protect themselves by barring
entrance 10 filled seats with umbrellas walk
ing sticks something of the sort placed
across the way, from the back of one seat 10
the back of another. That would probably be
effective in most cases. though If 1t were not
officially sanctioned by the company some
ruffianlike passengers might defy II and try to
force their way in. to the detriment of the frail
barrier. Moreover, only small proportion of
passengers carry sticks suitable for such use
But the plan suggests this further development
of the same principle that the company should
passengers IN self-protectiOn. The entrance 10
each seat of car might be provided with
gate consisting of one or more metal bars
which, when not in use, would fold snugIv nm
against the post and he quite out of the way hut
which could he pulled down and Iatched nv rho
passenger at that end Of the seat when the sent
filled. and which would then absolutely nra
vent further entry into that compartment Of the
car. We have no fear that any one would brine,
suit against the company 10 compel the removal
on 10 prohibit the use Of such gates. or that anv
would-he passenger would assault the one inside
the gate
Ihere Is reason, however, to think that the
coipahy VIII not act upon this suggestion for
giving passengers power to protect themselves
from indecent assault. That will not be because
OF any mechanical difficulty for there is none
1t viii not he because of any legal obstacle nor
yet because OF the slight expense involved II
VIII be. we are afraid. because the companv
does not wish 10 lose the fares which II now
collects from standing passengers. and does nor
wish 10 put on the additional cars which vonld

to make so much Of a concession 10 the demand
for seat for every fare, but wishes to estab-
lish. by persistent practice, into vested prin-
ciple the abOminable theory that it discharges
fully its obligation to the public and TO the in
dividual passenger if it carries the passenger
along the street. in no matter how uncomfort-
able indecent or dangerous n manner.
AS for the plea that it is physically impossible
TO run enough cars in the rush hours TO give
every passenger seat 1t is entitled to no hear
ing in court, and will be entitled TO none, until
the company runs cars enough TO give every
passenger seat in the non-rush hours, when it
is evidently and confessedly possible for it to
do so. When cars are run ten fifteen min
utes apart, and are crowded TO the dashboards
with standing passengers, there is no use in say
ing the company is doing its best to provide
seats for all. or that it is physically impossible
to run enough cars to give each passenger
seat When the company does all it is possible
for it TO do in that direction 1t will be time for
it to claim that anything more is impossible and
not until then.

JrsTIcE JEROME AND THE FIFTEEN.

JUSTICE JEROME AND THE FIFTEEN.
II is A pity that there should be a break
between Justice Jerome and the Committee or
Fifteen nj this time The committee entered
upon its work in a spirit which seemed certain
to bring about important results. and. with the
aid of the justice, important results were being
achieved. 1t did not appear to be sensible TO
judge the results simply by the number OF
convictions which were secured or by inqulrng
whether the places which were raided We're
permanently closed or not. Ii was surely
work worthy of commentator when the com
mittee. aided by the Justice. was able 70 render
public gambling so precarOus that the revenue
which was known 10 find IT'S way directly or
Indirectly from il 10 Tammany Hall was largely
decreased and in many cases cut off altogether
II was surely a work worthy of the expenditure
OF time and money 10 show TO the people OF the
city that the law was being constantly and
openly violated in all parts of the city. 1t was
surely of some consequence as showing the
relation between our city officials and prOpre
tors of places where gambling and other forms
Of vice are conducted TO prove. the COM
mittee with the help of the justice. did con-
clusively prove. that it is impossible TO make n
successful raid on an evil resort without eabo-
rately concealing from the police the fact that
the raid is 10 he made. And surely n campaign
was not wholly useless which hid fair. beyond
these collateral revelations ultimately to reveal
the exact nature and extent of official partner
ship with vice.
While all this is true and seems selfevident,
il does not call for criticism of the Committee
of Fifteen. The committee has still an impor-
tant work 70 which il intends 10 direct its
efforts. and in this work 1t merits. and doubt
less will have. the active aid or at least the
sympathy of all good citizens. The gentlemen
composing the committee are too well known as
public spirited citizens to be called in question
as 10 their motives for leaving the field of their
earlier and successful activities. But the ques-
ton as 10 whether or not this work shall he
continued is still an open one. Though the
Committee of Fifteen may not feel that il will
best direct It's future energies toward exposing
official corruption and official partnership in the
gambling business, It does not follow that
others might not undertake the work with
profit. II Is n point which ought 10 he con-
sidered with the utmost seriousness and with
the utmost promptneSs.
