A Sunday Street Car Row.

For some time controversy has ragged be-
tween the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany and those patrons of it's lines who ride
on the cars to Coney Island The road has
claimed the right to charge two fares. and
the passengers have urged that the law per-
mits the corporation to collect only one fare
After much trouble the case was finally
carried into court. and some time ago a de-
cision was rendered which affirmed the right
of the company to collect two fares. This
was appealed and the matter carried
higher. with no decision finally rendered.
Meanwhile the company was collecting the
double fare and the other day a passenger
who refused to pay the second nickel was
elected from the car. and. on resisting, was
arrested for disorderly conduct. When taken
before Justice Gaynor of Brooklyn he
pleaded his rights as a passenger, and the
court DISCHARGED the complaint against him
and declared that the collection of the
double fare was illegal. This decision was
widely proclaimed. and yesterday the thou
sands journeying to Coney Island were de-
termined to Day only one fare The COM
pany and the police had anticipated trouble,
and large force of inspectors and many
officers were stationed at the division line
points where the second fare Is usually col
lected. The trouble came in abundance.
The passengers refused to pay double and
the inspectors dragged them from the cars
by the hundreds. It is estimated that more
than one thousand forcible ejectments oe-
Cured during the day. Some of the people
were injured. A large number started to
walk along the tracks. the only way avail
able. and one party was run down by car

coolie Labor for the Canal.

Two reasons secured the enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law:
"a Coolies it was held, were not desra-
BILE immigrants. We did not want people or
their habits introduced in large numbers
into this country. Their industry and thrift
were as nothing when set against their
mode and view of life and the demoral1za-
ton inevitable from intimate contact with
them So they were barred out, and the &C
ton was indorsed, as it had been particl-
pated in. by both parties.
ca We did not want the wage scales low
cred for American labor. What if the coolies
could do much of the work in the American
market for half the money paid to Amer
lean citizens? Where would be the saving!
Why reduce our own people to competition
with their interiors? The real saving. mon
etary and otherwise, would be in preserv-
ing the self-respect and independence Of
those of our own people working with their
hands. They were earning their wages and
applying them in way to build up the
country and help preserve it's institutions.
There Is nothing then in the proposition to
introduce coolie labor under rigid safe
guards in Panama to help dig the
isthman canal at all volative Of the
spirit of the Chinese exclusion law.
Neither American social life nor Amer
lean labor Is menaced In the slightest.
The coolies thus introduced will not be per-
mitted to remain permanently even in Pam
ANA; and they will never see this country.
When their task is done they must be re-
turned to China. They will be in the canal
zone for specific purpose. and their en-
ployers under contract for their safety and
whereabouts.
Not a crumb will be taken from any
American laborer. Americans cannot do
the work, and will not apply for 1t. The
climate is such that men born and reared
in the ATTITUDES of the United States would
quickly perish pick and shovel in hand, in
the latitude Of Panama. American labor
therefore has no stake in the matter ex-
cept as 1t shares in the stake of the whole
country. We have engaged to dig the ca
nal, and it Is to the national interests to
complete the work as speedily as possible.
The world Is looking on, and America
prestige is We may be sure. as dear to the
American who works with his hands as to
any other American.
Coolie- labor In the ditch at Panama
should give no man in this country who
approves of the Chinese exclusion law the
least worry

Drunken Men and Policemen.

There is ample reason for the wave of in
dignation which swept over Washington
yesterday when the community read Of the
death in a police cell of man who had
been arrested on a charge of intoxicatlon.
Had this been the first case of its kind it
would have been bad enough. But such
deaths have occurred frequently in the
past, and the time has come for radical
change in the police methods. If some
thing is not promptly done to prevent these
tragedies the capital will be branded with
shame for its inhuman method of treating
the unfortunates who are picked up in the
streets under the influence of liquor.
The whole trouble arises from the
wretched mistake the police make of re-
garding the inebriate as a misdemeanant.
He should rather be considered from the
moment of his detention as a sick man. a
patient and not as a prisoner He has.
whether knowingly or not. taken into his
system poison which menaces his health
and possibly his life. Too often does the
policeman who takes him in charge turn
him over to the sergeant at the station with
the report: ''Only a drunk" Too often
is lie thrust into a cell, to lie or fall down
upon the floor and to be left to sleep
1t off,
This outrageous msconception of the ma
ture of intoxication and this cruel method
of treatment call for emphatic condemna-
ton and for speedy correction. The ques-
ton of treatment should not be left to the
judgment of a policeman, unskilled in med
icine and as a rule without sympathy for
the unfortunates. Every man who is ar
rested in such a condition should be
promptly given medical attention, in the
station itself or at the hospital. If there
are no facilities or appropriations for con-
Quoting a station house examination of all
inebriates who arrested, all such cases
should quickly be dispatched to one of the
institutions where they can be scientifically
classified and treated.
Our local system in this respect may be
no worse than in other Cities but it Is
nevertheless decidedly bad. Men are al
lowed to stagger about the streets until
they chance to fall down or to violate some
regulation or law. Then they are hailed
TO a CELL If they are merely intoxicated
beyond the possibility of self-help they are
locked up until morning and then allowed
to go. 1t would be better If more were so
treated, but while being held in charge
every man thus afflicted should be kept
closely under observation by competent
person.
The matter in its broadcast and most i'm
portant aspect does not turn upon the
particular circumstances of this latest case
1t is to be expected that If there was any
particular degree of negligence in that case
the policemen who were guilty will be
verely punished. What is mainly needed
Is complete change of policy, and the
adoption of the fundamental principle that
q drunken man is a sick man, and entitled
as such to the attendance of physician.
