UNREASONABLE CRITICS.

II is unfortunate that the good work OF safe
guarding public interests in the domain of rapid
transit should be endangered by the lack or
common sense and moderation of well meaning
men. Unquestionaby future subway enter
prises should he prosecuted on terms more lid
eral 70 the city than those originally secured.
and perhaps with provisions giving larger
measure of municipal control though the pres
ent law provides what seems ample control,
and to Judge from their misplaced complaints,
those who are loudest in their denunciation OF
the existing contract seem never TO have famil-
iarized themselves with the statutes In some
ways the Interborough company, in the use of
its real or assumed privileges, is acting badly.
and We should be glad to see ii hit on the head
with q very big stick There are plenty of
advances for the perfection of a rapid transit
system which may wisely be sought: but those
who seek them by indiscriminate faultfndinE
and unjust attacks upon those who have done
their best to serve public interests do not pro-
mote reforms, but tend TO discredt the demand
for reforms with fairmnded men.
We note that at the East Side Civic Club the
other night Mr.. Calvin TomBing denounced the
shortsghtedness of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion in not providing for the development OF
the city by municipal authority instead of com
uniting the transit facilities to private monop-
oily ii is all very fine, since municipal socialism
has become something of a fashion, to complain
of policies formed ten years ago, when public
opinion would never have sanctioned city rail
roads and the loan of the citys credit for a
work which private capital would not under
take was considered Il highly radical step. When
the subway was projected it was considered a
risky experiment. Newspapers and individuals
which now rejoice in it were dilgent In ridi-
cuing the hole in the ground" Nobody would
bid for the franchise. and the projectors in
desperation sought the aid OF the cty's credit
Then il was said that these Missionaries wanted
TO waste the city's money in scheme which no
sound business man would back
The citys credit was given. not because that
plan was preferred by anybody of influence bur
because all other means of securing rapid tram
sit had failed The private monopoly feature Of
the subway was not concession TO the con-
tractor. but 10 the city. 1t would have been easy
TO get the subway built for the city, bur every
body was so skeptical about it's successful and
profitable operation that II was difficult 10 get
anybody TO embark in the speculation OF rln,nina
it. The agreement TO do so was univefsaIlv
considered burden on the contractor. He took
a great risk which the city did not want to take
and Il is mean and petty spirit which be-
| grtdges hm the profit which few then had the
! faith to believe he could make The commits

4 GOOD MOVEMENT.

Sheriff Erlanger deserves support in his ear
nest attacks on the present system of arrest for
debt. Since he took office the Sheriff has been
untlrlng in his opposition to the Imprisonment
of persons in civil actions He has now ap-
pealed to the two great bodies of lawyers, the
State Bar Association and the City Bar AssOci-
alton. and hopes with their aid, to secure legiS-
lation which will do away with the abuse This
subject is closely allied to that of imprison-
ment for instalment debtors, the scandals OF
which were several years ago laid bare by The
Tribune to the ameloratiOn Of the condition of
these unfortunate ones.
The Sheriff believes that if the law under
which body executions obtained were made
more stringent much would he done toward
Graduating the evil, which is attended with
blackmaI oppression and persecution. Both
bar associations have taken up the Sheriffs ap-
peal i'll spirit of encouragement and their CO.
operation should mean much in aid of Mr.. Err.
