Motor Cars at Grade CROSSINGS

such instances, is trying to make the cross

the train is approaching. This happened
yesterday. Sometimes the chauffeur does
not see the train and is surprised But
even then he is taking chances in pressing
forward at a railroad crossing at grade.

in the selection of officials. the wishes of
citizens should be consulted even more con-
siderately than in other cities. where they
have their own mean9 of redressing griev-
ances.
In this matter OF the stable site 1t Is
doubtless desirable that the establishment
should be located near to the point Of
greatest use. which in this instance Is the
filtration plant. But there is no lack Of
room for its emplacement within a COM
paratively short distance without affecting
a rapidly growing residence section. the
expansion OF which has unquestionably
been encouraged by the presence Of the
reservoir park on the north flank. A few
squares to the southwest it would be pos
sible to erect the stable without offending
the sensibilities of any considerable num-
Der of people and without checking the
growth of the neighborhood now in evil
dence in protest against the proposition.
The expedient suggested by the Engineer
Commissioner in case the second site is re-
jected by his colleagues Is calculated to
bring sharply into view the inadequacies
of the present method of granting permits
for more or less undesirable establish
ments Col. Morrow proposes in this con-
tingency to turn over the job of housing
the Districts horses and vehicles to a
private contractor whose stable. he AYERS,
would surely be less slightly and possibly
less sanitary than one built and main
tanned by the District. This project savors
of punishment and Is hardly to be con-
sidered as Il serious possibility. 1t Is diff
fcult to conceive that the civilian Commas
sioners, after giving heed to the protests
of the citizens, would consent to the adop-
ton of such a device, multiplying the effect
of their two prior decisions. If the land
In question were the only available place
for the stable the case would present
different aspect. AS the case stands it re-
mains to be seen whether the Commits
sioners will stretch the point of official con-
venience in order to meet an undeniable
public demand.

Write the Unwritten Law!

The frank avowal of the "unwritten
law" defense In the case which has just
been closed at La Plata, Md, and its i'm
mediate acceptance by the jury surely sug
gests the wisdom of endeavoring to secure
the formal writing on the statute books of
a law which covers the same ground and
defines the rights of the private avenger
of family honor. If the people of Mary
land. or of any other state firmly believe 1t
to be moral and safe for man or a woman
to take human life in punishment of an
act of seduction, they should be willing to
comply with the fundamental requirements
of organized society and write a law to
that effect. By so doing they are impos-
ing no hardship upon any possible defend
ant of the future, or the unfortunate VIC
tim of the slain seducer. Even the "un-
written law must be invoked in court.
There must be a trial and the full ex-
position of the circumstances and an open
exposure OF family shame. The fallacy
that the invocation OF this inchoate prin-
ciple by an individual or by a mob Of
lynchers protects woman from publicity
in her dishonor has been thoroughly ex-
posed and the time has come for an ac-
acknowledgement of the fact.
AS long as there remains a law outside
VI lllo statute DOOh3, recognized as SuCD
by the community and enforced and ap-
piled as jealoosly any portion Of the
written code. there Is danger of gross in
justice. Communities are easily swayed in
moments Of passion and partisanship away
from the strict basis Of fair dealing. The
lack of definition and prescription invites
departures even from the tenets of the
unwritten doctrine. Any suggestion that
woman's moral status is involved suf-
fees to justify or excuse q homicide. how
ever wanton or unprovoked. The way to
conspiracy to slay innocent victims is laid
open and soon the foundations of the writ
ten law are undermined completely.
1t Is to safeguard against such subtle
entertainments upon the law structure
that the community owes itself the duty of
confiding its cherished precept Of family
honor to the statute books, to be invoked
in due form. and to be applied with all the
solemnity Of the highly evolved justice Of
our present state of society.

Applying the Remedy.

The Virginia state railroad commission
has acted with commendable promptness
and directness in the matter of the Falls
Church management, which has been
brought sharply into question by the recent
fatal accident on that line. 1t was not diff
cult for the commission to ascertain the
facts in the case. They were we'll under
stood at the outset. The accident was
caused by the failure of the so-called sys-
tenn of dispatching. which consisted of the
verbal-often the dgital-transmisson of in
formation and orders from one car crew
to another. A work train was sent up the
line against the current OF heaviest traffic
and. the road being single-track system
with infrequent switches, the opposing pas
senger car was sent into 1t at full speed
neither motorman having knowledge of the
presence OF the obstacle before him.
The commission properly prescribes a sys-
tenn of dispatching which will relieve the
car crews of all responsibility for the move
men of other cars than their own. This
is the only practicable method OF reform
long as the road remains on a single
track basis, An independent telephone sys-
TEN Is to be installed, operated from a CEN
trail Office managed by a dispatcher Thus
it Will be possible. as long as the dispatcher
does lis duty and the mechanical equipment
functions properly, for the cars to be run
smoothly and doubtless much more expe-
diuously than in the past.
Another requirement imposed by the COM
mission aims at the relief of the passen-
gers from the congestion which has been
marked feature OF this and in fact of prac-
tically all the local suburban lines during
the hours of heaviest traffic More cars are
to be put into service and what is quite as
important. sufficient power is to be pro-
vided to move the equipment on schedule.
II these two commands are obeyed the con-
dlti9rs upon the line in question will be ma
teriaily improved and the cause of popular
complaint will be removed. Suburban troll
Icy riding should be a pleasure and not a
discomfort and a danger. and the Virginia

establishing that standard upon at least one
line in the commonwealth. The example il

~ Chinese puzzle has been presented to

What is war; he asked.
China he said. knew by sad experience
that war was masked under various forms
not called war. What would happen if one
power declared war against another and
the latter would not fight? WoBld that be

Sherman will be crowned in your estima-

maker of one of the most striking of
phrases.
But hell may proceed from other causes

one. Think of a nation that would not
fight, Think of nation with standing
enough to play a part in the worlds af-
fairs. and yet in a dispute declining the
challenge of an opponent! What would be
its fate? What is the fate of the boy on
the playground at school who submits
tamely to an indignity? 1t is hell-simply

as contentious today as he was then and
when he ceases to be contentious will cease
to be man. He Is born for contest; and
contest imposes certain responsibilities and
obligations. He must meet them; and his
preparedness is the measure Of his success
and usefulness in the world. The talk
about the awakening of China has to do
with a material Improvement in her powers

Only a Popular Phrase.
From the Baltimore Sun.

If the 'unwritten law had the support
of public sentiment and of the public con-
science it would soon become the written
law. But the fact that there never has
been serious suggestion of such a thing
shows that the so-callad ''unwrtten law"
has no support in enlightened public senti-
ment. 1t is, indeed, monstrous that the
law of the land is to be set aside or dis
annulled by that which is no law, but only
a popular phrase which may be applied to
protect criminals in the preparation of any
crime. In point Of fact, the "unwritten
law has already been stretched until it Is
