A Hint to the Police.

An unexpected menace to the
community are yeggmen, or bur
glars, who travel in motor cars and
who have no respect for speed laws.
Already they are plying their pro-
fession in a modest way, but it is
too much to suppose that they viii
content themselves with blowing
safes in country car barns. That is
merely by way of practice. 1t may
be part of a course in the corre-
spondence school of rapid transit
crime, and as such must be viewed
as merely the first step in a liberal
education
1t is up to the police everywhere
10 take early action. They cannot
sit still while modern methods are
being applied to criminal industry.
Bicycle squads viii be Of no avail
against six-cylirder racing cars fly
ing like the wind and neglecting TO
display lights and numbers.
Already municipal fire depart
ments and other departments of
many cities are equipped with auto
mobiles. City employees not infre-
quently receive their wages from
disbursers in runabonts It is now
up 20 the police department TO es-
tablish a new line of offensive work
the pursuit of safe-blowers in
vehicles stripped to the framework
Of all supertiuous equipment and
warranted to carry at high speed
three policemen of the average
weight

straight while thus chasing a pirate

AS to Personal Bonds. -

OF the law as it relates to the ac-
ceptance of personal bonds" in the
Police Court, the citizen has little
knowledge. 1t may De, as an old
Board of Commissioners reported to
Congress, that there is no author
ity of law" to Justify the practice,
and it may be that the judges of
the court are sustained in it by ex-
Plicit provision of law But the citi-
zen has no doubt as TO the undesira-
bility of the whole proceeding.
For the taking of personal
bonds" in lieu of the fiue or other
punishment provided by law oper-
ates 20 produce two distinct and
costly evils-it makes the enforce
ment of District regulations unnec-
essarily and dangerously difficult;
and il tends TO breed a contempt
for the law or the part Of the very
persons the regulations are designed
10 reach.
As a matter of fact, illustrated in
practically every case wherein per-
sonal bonds are accepted by the
Police Court, that form of enforc-
ing the law is a mere matter of
words. The District government has
no right 10 compel the observance
of the courts decree, and the court
is authority for the statement that
it has not time to do so. Where
fore, the citizen found guilty Of
maintaining premises which endan-
ger the health Of a whole neighbor-
hood and is released from fine or
Imprisonment on his personal
bond" merely makes note of the
occurrence, pays his attorney, and
walks away. The effect on his own
conduct with relation TO other regu-
lations and on the conduct of his
associates is only too easy TO see.
Commissioners Ross, Truesdeu,
and Powell did extremely well to
report this condition 10 Congress in
1896, and Congress did extremely
i'll not 10 remedy il. Cooperation
on the part of the Police Court
judges might correct it for a time,
but not securely. The best way is
to adjust the practice of the court
by law. The present Commissioners
owe it to their successors as well
as to themselves to see that Con-
gress is sufficiently impressed by
the situation which has prevailed in
the District these past few years TO
adopt that means.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER %. 1906.
No More Free Transportation.

The new railroad rate law has
been in effect just about three
weeks, but enough has developed to
make apparent that the reorganized
commission charged with its adj
ministration is determined to make
the statute as effective as possible.
The wisdom of Congress in retain
ing the members of the old com
mission, in the face of a good deal
of opposition, is being demonstrated
every day. AT the very best, a COM
mission of new and inexperienced
men would have unayoidabIy de-
layed for many months the effective
application of the law in places to
which the present experienced body
win know from the outset how to
impose il.
There was no unseemly haste
about getting busy" under the
new act. The commission frankly
admitted a willingness to feel its
way. But before a month had
passed it has done a number of
things, by way Of construction and
application of the law, which demon
strate that none of the power which
Congress placed in the hands of the
commissioners is going to be sacri-
feed
In holding, for example. that
transportation, either Of freight or
of passengers, must be paid for in
cash and in nothing but cash, the
commission did a courageous and a
right thing. This means that there
viii be no more contracts for ex-
change of advertising for mileage.
1t was a demoraHzing business at
best, in which the publisher of the
small newspaper all too often sold
his independence for the poor privi-
lege of doing a lot Of riding that
did him no good, and that he
wouldn't have dreamed of doing if
he hadn't felt that il was in effect
getting something for nothing.
This ruling, on top of the anti
pass provision of the act, and in
connection with the State laws TO
the same effect, means that the most
effective, the cheapest, the most de-
moralzing ana the most widely es-
tabhshed method of bribery ever
used in American politics is at last
to stop. Delegates to conventions,
city and county officials, State and
Government functionaries, newspa-
per men, Legislators, and members
of Congress have traditionauy en-
joyed this privilege. Denial that tho
majority of men have been infiu-
enced by it is utterly useless. When
the free pass is unknown, as appar-
emily it is to be in the near future,
public officers viii see the relations
of public 10 carriers through alto
gether different spectacles. One re-
suit viii be that il viii take "a good
deal less time TO make public opinion
felt in the form Of law and admin
istratiOn.
