LICENSE TRANSFERS.
r3C''y'.

Alderman Bowling has raised a question
which is neither simple nor trivial. His bill to
prevent the owners of licensed newsstands,
fruit stands. bootbacking stands, etc. from sell
ing their property probably affects the fortunes
of at least ten thousand small dealers. Alder
man Levine says there are fourteen hundred
soda water stands in the Sth Assembly Dis
trict alone 1t would be serious biunder, par
ticularly at the present moment, TO work even
a slight injury to this large commercial class
Before the Board of Aldermen makes an ordf-
nance of Mr.. Dowling's proposal, it must con-
vince both itself and the interested parties that
the bill will do only what it seeks to accom-
plish namely. put an end to speculation and
cheating in the transfer of licenses. But this
cannot be easily shown.
Mr. Bowling does well to aim a blow at these
evils. 1t is notorious that some enterprising
citizens reap fat profits by trafficking In IL
censes and the stands that go with them. 1t Is
usually the license, rather than the stand.
which makes this business attractive; for IL
censes. like kissing, 30 by favor, and they come
in bitter reality, though not in theory, from In
dividual aldermen. not simply from the Com
missioner of Licenses. The man who holds an
exclusive option upon the favor of city father
in the matter of licenses sell his privilege
at monopoly prices This means that the poor
and the politically friendless can secure no
licenses. The injustice should be ended, but
can it be by forbiddnc the transfer of licenses! !!
1t is hard to see how. So long as the alderman
is a politician. and controls the issue of licenses
speculation continues. whether licenses are trans
ferabe or not.
The chief objection to Mr. DOwngs plan,
however. is the one raised by the newsdealerS
and the bootblackS' aSsOcatiOnS-an untranS-
ferable license robs the holder of the market
value of his stand, which is due TO his own
foresight in choosing its location, his skill in
building UP Il trade and the good VIII which
his friendships and his personality have helped
create When circumstances force or tempt
the licensee to abandon his stand, all this ac-
quired value reyerts for all practical pur-
poses to the alderman. Thus the temptation
to speculate in licenses will be greatly in
creased instead of diminished. 1t is well, there
fore that Mr. Dowling's hll will have a second
public hearing next Monday. Some bootblach
mas. on that occasion, proftably remind the
Board of Aldermen that if u public service
corporation is allowed to reckon its franchise
among its assets and to sell the same street
corner merchant may logically do the same
with his license.

"HIGRER Up" ERRORS.

An instructive example of common and mis-
chievous error was set forth the other day in our
New Jersey news columns in an article telling Of
the anparent failure of the campaign against
mosquitoes In various places it was said, which
were formerly infested by almost intolerable
plaques of mosquitoes. but which for the last
few wears have been freed therefrom through
the draining Of marshes and other methods
cn,ployed 10y the state. the insects have this year
anneared in their former numbers. indicating TO
the superficial observer Il failure of the preyen-
five measures That judgment is, however or
roneous. as examination shows. The trouble is
that the individual municipalities are neglect
ing their part of the work The state dug the
bitches and drained the marshes which were the
breeding places of the pests, but it left to the
municipalities the task of keeping the drains in
effective condition. and that they have failed to
do In some places where due attention mas
been given to the matter and the work of the
state has been faithfully complemented by
local efforts immunity from the insect scourge
is maintained and there is no reason 10 doubt
that the same would be true everywhere else If
a like course had been pursued.
The troIble is that individuals, municipalities
and states all too prone TO look 10 some power
higher up" to do what needs to be done, like
the carter praying to Hercules In the old fable.
States look to the nation to do things for them
which they ought to do themselves, though they
are quick enough to resent what they call fed
eraI interference with state rights" when the
national government makes its authority com
nlensurate with its responsibility. Counties and
cities expect the state TO do things which they
ought to do for themselves and then clamor for
home rule" when the state takes in hand their
neglected duties. individuals neglect matters
which properly pertain to them, in hope that the
nubli. authorities will perform the work, and
then complain of official meddng and oppres
sion wher that is done II is the old story of
putting responsibility upon the other man and
of doing nothing ones self which another

principles of good government and OF efficient
administration Perhaps ii is permissible under
despotism or Il purely pate"nal government,

stitutions. though are not sure that ii is not
actually more prevalent here than in other lands.
The true principle is that duties should be per
formed whenever possible by those whom they
most directly concern. The man who lets pool

THE RECOUNT.

The result of the recount will hardly increase
the regret which many IF his friends have felt
from the first that Mayor Mcclellan opposed an
examination into his title, thereby, almost OF ne
cessty suggesting the thought that he was fear
full of losing his office. But Mr.. Hearst is badly
damaged by the outcome. He misled great many
persons into the belief that he had been robbed
of the election. He made bitter personal at
tacks upon the regularly elected officials He
traded upon the popular love of justice and de-
sire for pure elections. And now, after long eff
forts to delay the exposure, the emptiness OF his
pretensions and the shallowness of his claims to
popular sympathy completely disclosed. The
Mayor played into the hands of his enemy, and
he ought 10 be thankful that his efforts TO pre-
vent the recount were unsuccessful.

regard it as absurd to have men go through
the streets yelling that John Smith was eiected
Mayor of Podunk or that Castro had issued
his eleven thousandth manifesto, but we seem
to think 1t all right that they should thus pro-
claim that Smith has strawberries TO sell or
that Jones pays cash for old clothes. 1t is an
ancient matter we know. Away back IN
Elizabeth's reign the Common Council OF Lon
don adopted an ordinance forbidding hucksteis
and pedlers to cry their wares In the streets
Again. in 1885, the same authority forbade the
noisy cries of 'oyster wives, herb wives, tripe
wives. peders and petty chapmen" under
penalty of being 1ogged. But the fact that an
evil is of ancient date is no reason for per-
petually tolerating it.
The fact needs to be practically recognized
that unnecessary noises are pernicous nul-
sance inimical not only to comfort but also
to health and life, which ought to be forbidden
and suppressed. The town which treats howl

NHHDOL DISCIPLINE.

The need of improving discipline in New York
public schools is a cold, hard fact. from which
the authorities cannot escape even when aided
by the Ioftiest ideals OF government by kindness.
New emphasis is given to the situation by the
recent report of the committee elementary
schools and the board of superintendents, and Il
solution of present managerial difficulties Is Of
fered which suggests the prevalence Of insub-
ordination. The investigators recommend that
three more disciplinary schools be established.
one I'm each Of the three most pOpulous boroughs,
and that corporal punishment be permitted in
these institutions at the discretion of the teach
ers The present disciplinary school and the
three proposed ones beug intended solely for
genuine incorrgbleS the number Of temper try
ing sulen, mschevous and stubborn pupils not
beyond easy redemption may be guessed at only
with the aid of lively imagination. 1t is no
wonder that the majority of teachers demand the
general revival of corporal punishment that
they need n long summer vacation.
1t Is very doubtful, though, whether discipline
among the rank and file can be improved by
buildng more disciplinary schools. However
disguised in name these are really reform
schools of a mider sort, and by housing them in
special buildings their distinct. quasi punitive
character Is accentuated-at least In children's
and ruled by special teachers, they must develop
still further peculiarties Of instruction and rou-

FIFTH AVENUE TSHERS.

now idea has been promulgated which the
author may fairly call his own, even after he
has given it to the Fifth Avenue Association.
Historians are at loss to cite a case in which
merchants have lined a thoroughfare with Il
corps of uniformed ushers for the protection
and enlightenment of passers by. The plan DIS
plays quite as much ceverness as originality.
Perhaps it was suggested by the ''panhanders"
who have lately infested the central stretches
of the avenue and made themselves unusually
offensive to shoppers. But the scheme as de-
yeloped. is much more than protective one:
it aims to create new profession "hch

for Improving the Breed Of Suckers would
move its headquarters over to HOboken and the
wave of prosperity would begin to throw spray.
