The Plaza Trackage Bill.

Senator Gallinger's terminal plaza
trackage bill meets the situation exactly,
both In the matter Of permanent pro-
visions and in the device of temporary
tines. 1t embraces the principle proposed
by The Star the other day Of coupling
the emergency and the permanent au-
thorization In a single statute. On no
other basis will the wo k of constructing
conduit lines on permanent lines across
the plaza be facilitated
The disposition to load down the plaza
trackage bill with extraneous matters re-
iating to taxation and prescribing uni
varsal transfers is already in evidence.
Inasmuch as this maneuver caused the
death o. the measure on at least two
previous occasions. it is fairly to be as
sumed that the same fate lies in store
for the present bill. if the amendments
are pressed. Regardless of the merits of
the propositions themselves, this is an
undesirable process nf legislation. The
terminal trackage bill should have been
regarded as an urgent item, not capabls
OF postponement. as exigeant, indeed, as
an appropriation bill. To attempt to
thrust strange new schemes of corpora
ton control upon the statute books by
means OF such a vehicle is contrary to
the best rule of legislation.
1t now remains to be seen whether the
unrelated amendments which have been
again proposed command a sufficient sup
port In the two houses to enable their
opponents to force them through. The
test should come as speedily as possible.
But in no circumstances should the over
head trolley emergency measure be put
forward as a separate p OPPOSITION, to
lessen the urgency of immediate action
at this session upon the permanent
trackage bill. Congress has created its
own responsibility in this matter by al
lowing the situation to develop one and
two years ago to the point Of inaction
In the face Of an imperative duty, and II
will be Instructive to observe whether
the houses will allow themselves to be
held up again while the great travelling
public using the new terminal in this city
Is suffering Inconvenience. delay and ex-
pense tn ough lack of proper street cal
facilities

New York and the Lid"

Putting the lid on in New York is an
enormous undertaking. There are people
who hold not only that it cannot be done,
but that it should not be attempted. Sun
day in a great city, they say. cannot be
made the duplicate of Sunday in a viii
lage; that conditions are such in the for
mer as to demand in the interests of
comfort and order liberal regu.at for
the day. But Commissioner of Police
Bingham has instructed his force, and
next Sunday is to be both dry and quiet
in the metropolis, if it can be made so.
No booze, no music. no balls, no theatre
calls. The announcement. it may be
imagined. has, caused a stir.
This movement and those like it in
other cities have grown out of the abuse
of regulations of a liberal tendency. For
L long time the saloons wr. treated
with what might be called leniency. Lii
censes were low and hours for trade long
The result was that the saloons multiplied
In number, and flourished, and began
themselves to run things. From being
the regulated they became the regulators.
They elected mayors and common coun-
ellis. and the people had to take their poll
tics from the groggeries.
Likewise in the matter of music and
theatricals. Under the head Of sacred
concerts managers have introduced al.
sorts of features, untif Sunday evening
has come to be almost like any other
evening in the matter of entertainment.
A bailif with search warrant guided BY.
a theologian would be baffled in an at
tempt to find anything of sacred nature
In the house. The show Is simply an
everyday affair given on Sunday.
And so in other matters. At last there
Is a rising tide Of protest. How high it
than ever before known in this country,
and as yet there is no sign of an ebb.
Nv York may successfully resist 1t. The
forces of resistance there are very strong
and we'll organized, and embrace many
lines of activities. We shall see them
hold together and endeavor to win by
coupling some unobjectionable things
with other very Objectionable things
They will hope for help and sympathy If
the new regulations cover too much
ground and in that way become too dras-
tic.

Changing Currents.

From Golfers Weekly.
A rapid ebb from Secretary Taft con-
asts with correspond ng gain for Mr..
Hughes. Once the thoughts of Judg
Taft were conferred on the welfare of a
dependent people. The wishes of tn.
President of one brother and of another
person near to him, made candidate
the judge against his will; and lament
able has been the end. Two years ago
William H. Taft struck out boldly TO,
independence in his state. With the cour-
age of freedom he threw down the gaunt-
let to Boss Cox. This year, his agent in
Ohio. his brother Cha les, secured tn
support of Cox for the Secretary's can
didacy. and in return came up energet
ically with his newspaper for the Coz
machine, and waged a scurrilous cam
paign against the independent ticket. Tn
Hon. Nicholas Longworth represented
the administration in this deal, and for
that also the Secreta must stand re-
sponsible. A year and a hal ago Judge
Taft declared in writing that 1.-The CON
duct Of nun; cipal affairs has no natural

slow-going. late local accommodation
train blocking the way. There was
faster train in the rear, overtaking the
accommodation every minute. There was
reliance in the book signal system and
the lights, and this reliance. for some
cause not yet fully disclosed, was un-
warranted. The faster train dashed upon
the slower one while the latter was stop
ping at station.
1t would seem that after the costly les
son taught by the Terra Gotta disaster
the railroad corporation would take every
possible precaution to prevent repetitions.
Yet here within year is the same thing
over again. The line between here and
Ba- timore is maintained on the basis OF
the automatic block signal. That running
northwest, where the Terra Gotta wreck
occurred, was at that time on the manual
block basis The wreck of last year was
due. it IS believed. in large part to the
doubling or extending of the blocks at 6
o'clock, causing confusion. There seems
to have been no such condition in the
case of the Hanover smash. The ques-
ton to be answered is whether the auto
matte block system worked perfectly the
other morning. In any case, whether the
collidlng engineer saw or thought he saw
a white. green or red Night, whether the
automatic system worked perfectly or
not, 1t is evident that he had been ad-
mitted too early into the block be.ow.
The train. ahead was nearly half an hour
late, a condition in itself intolerable in
view of the short run imposed upon 1t.
This excessive degree of hardness should
have been known to the following engi-
neer SO that he could have used due eau
ton in advancing. In al. cases where 1t
Is possible for train on sixty-minute
run to lose twenty-five minutes it is i'm
perativelY necessary to hold back every
thing in its rear far enough to give it a
margin of sa-e,y in all conditions of
weather.
Until automatic cutoff devices are in
sta led which will absolutely prevent the
entrance of a train upon an occupied
block, engineers will continue to run past
signals and wrecks will result.
