ARBITRATION AND INDEPENDENCE.

There might be some hesitation in declaring
whether the coincidence of the battle of the Sea
Of Japan and the Conference International
Arbitration at Lake Mohonk was or was not
fitting. From some points of view the outlook
for arbitration as a universal substitute for
does not appear encouraging The world
is now in the midst of one Of the greatest wars
of modern times, which was pretty directly
provoked by the very power which took the
lead in convening the congress at The Hague.
One Of the belligerents is allied with France
and the other with Great Britain. two Of the
most enlightened of powers and two which
have been conspicuous in promoting the cause
of peace; yet those two powers were not able
to restrain or to dissuade their allies from war,
and from war over issues which the advo-
Gates of arbitration regard as conspicuously fit
for peaceful adjudication Surely, many will
say, If there is any vital force in the move
ment for arbitration that war should have been
averted Many others will, however, insist that
there is no reason for discouragement, but that
on the contrary, a time of war is the most fit
ting time to work for peace, just as time Of
peace is proverbiaIly the time in which to pre-
pare for war.
Upon the latter principle, and upon the ground
that all times are good times In which to work
for the better interests of the human race, the
Mohonk conference is to be welcomed and COM
mended and it is earnestly to be desired that
some practical and tangible advantage may re-
suit from its deliberations. 1t is a good thing
at any rate. TO set men to thinking about peace
and the ways in which it may be restored and
maintained and the means by which peaceful
arbitration may be substituted for war The
conference does well to approve the Presidents
call for another congress at The Hague, and is
not too sanguine in anticipating that additional
good will thereby be achieved 1t sees, we
have already pointed out, that the complica-
tons and controversies of the present war will
afford that congress opportunity for the consd-
Grafton of many detailed points and for the ex-
tension of those general agreements which con-
stitute the nearest approach to international
statute law. Nor does it seem extravagant TO
hope that such extension will be in the direction
Of restricting still further belligerent activities
and privileges. of safeguarding the rights Of
non-combatants, and thus of circumscribing the
devastations of war and of confirming the reign
Of peace.
The suggestion of a general act or treaty Of
arbitration is engaging one, which may
prove profitable. Some recent utterances how
ever make it seem desirable to point out again
q fundamental and, we believe, immutable prin-
ciple which must be respected In any such arbi-
tratfon act and which some jealous advocates
of arbitration appear at times to be In danger
of forgetting That principle is the indeDen-
dence of nations. The various nations OF the
world are "sovsrsign and independent statss."

STREET RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

The most interesting suggestion OF the COM
parative statistics of street railway traFei iaue
available by the publication of the MeTopon-
tans report for the quarter ended March 81 Is
that the old rule that facilities beSet tralhc is
still in operation. In the three montns Ihe
Metropolitan's decreased earnings indicated
loss of traffic as compared with the same period
of 1904, of 4,575, 900 persons, or about oo'ooo d
day. In the same period the traffic on the ele-
vated lines fell off about 164 900 day. In the
quarter the subway carried daily average OF
32S 900 passengers Therefore, 114,OOO persons
a day on the average made use OF these trans
portation lines who never used them Defore
The subway had been in operation long
enough before January for the great hulk OIL
the curiosity traffic to be over The overWhelm-
ing majority of the fares paid were for leg1ti-
mate transportation, not for inspection Some
of the added traffic is due to growth OF popu-
lation, but the greater part OF it is due TO
growing habit of riding. This repeats the e4-
perience of the Metropolitan when power was
first substituted for horses People who never
rode before went out to ride. Some went Tor
pleasure others for business. Families which
had lived within walking distance Of their work
found that the new facilities made residence
at a greater distance comfortable. So no doubt
it will be noW The falling off in the rafhc OF
the surface lines is only temporary. Probably
it is to be accounted for almost as much by the
severe weather of last winter and the frequent
stoppage of cars as by the competition OF the
subway. In the long run the surface lines are
sure to profit from the subway, because more
people will find it easy to visit the business dis
tricts on slight provocation and there take short
surface rides
There is evidently traffic enough to utilize all
surface and subway lines that can possibly be
built for many years. There may be, ON the
opening of any new hne some temporary fall
ing off on the old ones. Indeed, that is what
we want, not only temporarily, but permanently.
In the rush hours our are crowded to an
almost uncomfortable extent 1t would be mex
cusable if there was any alternative. No desire
for fares on the part of company would be q
reason for allowing it to carry so many pas
sengers. If there were other lines, law for
bidding such crowding would be perfectly jusd-
fed. So a mere decrease Of passengers on al
ready overcrowded lines is not an evil to be re-
GREETED, but a good to be promoted. Unfort-
unateIy, population and the habit Of travelling
grow so fast that the abolition of straps is not
yet remotely in prospect.
