Every week there is a new reform started somewhere. The inauguration of the one for last week fell to Indian apolis, Ind, where the w. c. T. U. have started in to stop spooning in the city park
 The time is suspicious. May is the month of love, and love is the responsi- ble agent for spooning, and if some powerful agent doesn't attempt to pre- vent it there is bound to be more or less love making going on in the city parks for the next few months
 1t has been customary for girls who go to the mountains or seashore to be accompanied by one or more chaper- ones, although at such places they are entirely safe from the attacks of spoonv young men, for there is only one of them to every twenty-five maids, and he doesn't dare look any more kindly toward one of them than the other, or his scalp will pay the forfeit. But in the parks, where men do mostly congre- gate, there is seldom any one. except an occasional policeman to break the silly conduct of Mike and Ann, and he usu- ally bungles the work sadly. But with the aid of the municipal chaperone, whose duty it would be to prevent and expose all improper conduct, one could fea. safe in visiting the parks of a great city without the fear of seeing sights that would bring back to his mind the days of his own foolish youth.
 And the work has begun. The pa pers are talking about it. The city councils are acting, and the Courier Journal of Louisville, Kentucky, goes so far as to say: "Unquestionably one of the greatest evils of the age is the spooning that is done in the glimpses of the moon, and the arc lights, in well-policed parks.

The work of sidewalk building has resumed. Most every street presents little piles of gravel which means more work for the concrete man. The time given by the ordinance has expired, but a little more time will see at least 90 per cent of the property owners re- quired to build walks having completed the work.

COREI.

1t was to be expected that some COreans
would offer resistance, with cOnspiraces AMI
riots, to the assertion of japanese suzeraihty
over their country. 1t is also to be expected
that Japan will suppress such demonstrations
with a firm hand though no more harshly than
may be necessary. Halfway work would be
discreditable. Having assumed authority in
Corea, it is incumbent upon Japan to make it
efficient. She is now responsible for COrea,
and she must vindicate her authority by the
results of its exercise
We must believe, as the world at large ap-
pears to believe. that such action by Japan
will be for the good of Corea and of all nations
which have dealings with her. Corea is a very
ancient empire, but in all her long career she
has never INDICATED her title to independent
sovereignty. If 1t be true that governments are
instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent OF the governed, to
secure the rights 70 life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness then we must conclude that the
Corean government has never had a clear title
TO existence, for 1t has never secured those
rights to its subjects, and 1t would be mOckery
to say that such despotsm derived It's powers
from the consent Of the governed. That judg-
ment may seem harsh, but 1t is inevitable. The
record of Corea's own history prescribes 1t. The
law Of the survival of the fittest prevails among
states as well among plants and animals.
Corea has been conspicuOusly unfit. Therefore
she fails TO survive.
IT is idle TO rail Mt Japan. 1t would he

ELECTRICITY on THE VIEW HAVEY road

ELECTRICITY on THE VIEW HAVEN ROAD.
The electric operation Of trains on the New
Haven road was begun without fuss or formal
ity. The modesty thus exhibited, like that
shown by the Central in initiating It's electric
service few weeks ago, may be interpreted rs a
recognition of the fact that the su5st tuition of
a new method Of traction on q trunk line IS q
far more formidable undertaking than the run
ming Of al underground local road. Aside from
the embarrasSments incident TO the reconstruC-
ton oi the terminal facilities above 42G street,
the managers of both companies realize That
some serious technical problems are vet to be
worked out by actual experiment. They Will
undoubtedly be guided more or less by the eN-
perience Of the next few months In the cousum-
nation of plans the full execution Of which does
not seem Immediately advisable
One of the most noticeable points Of differ
ence in the methods of the New Haven and
Central companies relates to the manner of NOV
ing suburban trains. The former puts the power
in front of the cars, employing an engine which
can be detached like a steam locomotive The
latter has adopted the multiple unit" system.
which has worked so we'll on the elevated and
underground roads of this city. In the first
case the engine is switched from one end of
a train TO the other. In the second the motor
man makes the change of position. Which
Will prove Tue ulOIe CONVENIENT anu
economical is question in which the operating
companies will feel the chief interest, the pub
lie having little choice 1t Is not unlikely, how
ever, that the Central was influenced by the
possibility that II might want to run some of
its trains into the subway, and fancied that such
a plan might be promoted by similarity be-
tween its own and the Interborough's rolling
stock and usages.
The preference given by Mr.. Mellen 10 the
alternating current over the direct current en-
ployed by the Central IS perfectly ineligible.
In the operation Of long lines it promotes econ
omy in two ways. 1t reduces the first cost Of
line equipment and involves less waste of power.
Some of the faults which have hitherto charac-
terized the motor employed with the alternating
current have apparently been remeded. Almost
the only misgivings now entertained regarding
the expediency Of using the current Itself relate
to the mode of conducting it to an engine and
to the pressure or voltage adopted. Mr. West
inghouse has for years detained against the
third rail as a source Of danger, and he has per-
suaded Mr.. Mellen to try the overhead wire in
stead. The third rail Of the Central carries
current Of only six hundred or seven hundred
volts. whereas the overhead wire oe the New
Haven road carries one Of eleven thousand volts.
From the combination Of an overhead conductor
and an unusually high working voltage unfort-
such forecasts are premature Fact counts for
more than theory. To condemn before trial is
foolish and unjust.

run into shop and purchase another to finish
a second victim downtown-we shall have an
endless chain of crimes Of violence. Restriction
of the supply Of weapons is logical first step
toward abating their use. Perhaps they should
be put in the same category with explosives and
DOisons, and should be sold only on the presen-
tatiOn Of permits from the courts or the police.

The rnurderous activities Of an eX convict,
who On Tuesday shot down two persons at
points nearly two miles apart in this city, IL
lustrate afresh the folly of our present method
Of regulating the use and sale of deadly
weapons 1t appears that the murderer, after
sIaying his first victim in 42d street. terri
fed and eluded his pursuers, and, making
leisurely trip downtown 10 Greene street and
WaverIey Place, fatally wounded a second OBJ

and easy, for we make it a habit TO give po-

prise that they use them on real or imaginary
enemies
A month or two ago when the lives of two
roliceTnen were sacrificed 10 the perncious
practice of carrying revolvers for use in

whole administration was stirred and orders
were given for a crusade against the possessors

NSULAR INIQUITY.

What a shameful shOwing-frOm the benevo-
lent and altruistlc point Of view Of some OF our
anti-every thing friends-is that made in
the report on the affairs of Sant0 Domingo,
which was published, from official data, in
our special. Washington correspondence yester-
day! It more than confirms the most extreme
anticipatons concerning the result Of President
Roosevelts meddling and mixing this country
I'D with that wretched island.
It appears that Santo Domingo, as Il result
of American intervention" is peaceful and
prosperous It's customs receipts are Increasing
at the rate Of more than y per cent year,
and In the last fiscal year were nearly p per
cent more than the estimates Instead Of
spending most Of its income for the suppressing
of revolts, the insuar government now makes
large appropriations for lighthouses irrigation,
good roads, railways, public buildings, census
taking and other essential works hitherto neg
lected. At the same time, of course, the public
debt is being paid off and the credit Of the
republic IS being securely established.
And that Is what comes Of our imperiallstic
meddling with other peoples business and
our Indulgence in "entangling alliances" with
foreign nations. How much better ii would
have been to 90 by on the other side and let the
Dominicans "stew in their own juice
