THE RUSH HOUR PROBLEM.

Mr.. Oren Roots testimony before the Puohc
Service Commission that his company cdhHoI
operate more surface ears during rush nourS 10
the old familiar excuse for the overcro"ue"
streetcars 1t may be a perfectly valid one
but the public generally will be little lncTeu
1llous without the unbiased testimony OF eA-
merits to sustain the general managers posi-
ton 1t will be remembered that IN the Cl'5
Climbs renort on traction a few weeks ago a
record was presented Of the number or cars
onerated at congested points like 34th street
and Sixth avenue and 23d street ana FourI
avenue, and the number actually running III
rush hours fell far below the public estimates
of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
Of the number of cars possible to operate at
these points of congestion Now. perhaps' uhe
crowding of New York streets with Vehiculal
traffic has increa sed sensibly since these esu-
matas wore made. but we doubt If the Increase
has been sufficient to account for the failure
of the traction company to live up to its own
estimates.
In any case. if it be shown that street CON
gestiOn prevents the traction company from
operating fairly adequate service then some
thing must be done for the better direcnon OF
street traffic during the rush hours We are
all sensible of what the traffic rules OF the po-
lice have accomplished in general to keep Or
dinary vehicles moving at all hours of the day
Something of the same sort could undoubtedly
be done toward diverting trucks from the
crowded points in the streetcar lines during
rush hours Too little attention has undouot-
edIy been given in the past by the city authori-
ties TO this side of the traction problem, per
haps because they never realized till now now
badly the traction companies wanted TO run
more cars during the rush hours and how they
were thwarted in this commendable desire oy
arrogant truckmen insisting on their right or
WAY.

THE CONSTITUTION IN PANAMA.

The question Of the right OF trial by jury In
the isthmian canal which has just been
raised appears TO depend for an answer upon
the fundamental question whether the zone Is
under the Constitution of the United States.
AS the Constitution is Constitution for the
United States of America" and the canal zone is
not one Of nor part of the United States of
America, but part Of the Republic OF Panama,
the first presumption would naturally be that
that instrument did not apply to that territory.
The simple fact that this country has obtained
from Panama q perpetual concession for the
occupation and control Of the zone does not
necessarily imply that the Constitution has been
extended thther. In 1920 the United States
cured not n concession for but absolute owner
ship OF Florida, but the Constitution was not
thereby extended to that territory. Years after
that annexation Daniel Webster argued before
the Supreme Court that Florida part
of the United States that 1t was to be gov
erned by Congress as Congress thought proper,
without regard to the Constitution, and that
specifically, Congress might refuse Florida trial
by jury and the court agreed with him.
The Constitution. then, apparently apply
To Panama only by virtue of its having been
specially extended thereto; and that does not
appear TO have been done. Neither the Spooner
act nor any other legislation of Congress does
it, There is no such provision in the treaty
between this country and Panama The proc
amation Of the Governor of the canal zone. of
May 10. 1904 stated the general principles on
which the zone to be governed, and these
comprised pretty full bill of rights, but there
was no mention of trial by jury. I'm ali Grim
nal prosecutions" said the proclamation, 'the
accused shall enjoy the right Of a speedy and
public trial TO be Informed of the nature and
cause of the accusation. TO be confronted with
1.-The witnesses against him, to have compulsory
process for obtaining witnesses In his favor
"and to have the assistance of counsel In his
defence" There are other provisions. against
excessive bail, cruel and unusual punishments
etc practically identical with those In the Con
stitution of the United States, but there is no
mention of trial by jury, nor. of course. of any
general application of the Constitution. In these
circumstances it u not easy to see what

life has been saved by him. but the vital statis

enteen stations. and. while the is supposed
to be over he will keep six stations open during
the fall and winter. During this nearly
three million bottles of milk and million and

fifteen years thirty million bottles and glasses or
