The cranks and extremists have com-
PEELED the Lowe administration to en-
force unpopular Sunday closing laws In
New York city, and it may be safely
predicted that the reform administra-
tons period of usefulness will continue
only until the next election. 1t Is un-
fortunate that such well-meaning men
can not be practical enough in their
politics to reform the abuses of Tam
many regime without deliberately dig

the Sunday sale of the national bever-

Pennsylvania railroad and Philadelphia
&, Reading railway, and is attempting
to secure legislation inficting penalty
for infringement of the rule. The pro-
visions of the resolution require a GUS
pidor for each seat in the smokers cars

IS. In the communication to the rail-
road companies the board cites the fact
that the latest statistics of the United
States government show that three
fourths of all the men use tobacco, 80
per cent expectorate and 100000
smoke.
President-elect Palma and General
Wood agree that at least SO per cent
reduction on Cuban sugar is needed.
They ought to know, and their advice
is entitled to respect.
The new charter for Atlantic City,
which Governor Murphy signed while
the heart of the beach front hotel dis
trict was being swept by fire, promises
tc transform this disaster into mu-
