Cherries.

mans like a cherry that grows on a
tree;
Its fate there's no telling just what II
will be.
Some stoutly will cling to the branch
tempest tossed,
And some are cast down by adversity's
frost.
Here's one which to ripen somehow ne'er
contrives,
AS many of US remain green all our lives.
Another is blighted. and shriveled must
cling.
Because buzzing malice one day left a
sting
Behold how the robins, vain Knockers and
thieves.
Invade family groups mid the sheltering
leaves.
Some grow sweet that survive to enjoy
the SUMS rays.
And some remain sour to the end OF their
days.

The Duty Of the Traction Companies

Discussing on the I'd of May the dead
lock on the Union station tracks bill and
the street railway needs of the District.
The Star said editorially:
I'm the public interest the street railway
conferees should agree on the Union sta
ton and other extension trackage: elimi-
nate the universal transfers provision and
compromise upon some form of regula-
tion of the railways. unless the deficient
roads shall bind themselves to improve
their equipment and schedules and re-
lieve the strap-hangers Immediately or
much more quickly than can be secured
through the regulations of any kind of
commission
The conferees have agreed upon pre-
cisely the program of legislation thus out
lined, and The Star is especially gratified
at the outcome The compromise plan is
calculated to bring a maximum of benefit
to the car riders of the city while provid-
ing for the station plaza readjustments.
Although the railway companies did not
bind themselves to any line of service i'm
provements. to the end of thereby securing
immunity from regulation. their oppor-
tunity to do what the public has right
to expect remains unimpaired, despite the
assurance of regulation enactment
In the degree that the schedules are i'm.

less warrant for bringing the corporations

The Stars suggestion that more cars
are needed on some OF the lines with
shorter intervals in the running schedules
especially on certain suburban lines and
at hours of heavy travel on all the lines
and that these additional cars should be
supplied voluntarily by the railways far
In advance of any compulsion by a regI-
lating commission has apparently APP
peaied as reasonable To the Washington
Railway and Electric Company which
announces in another column the fact
that II has ordered fifteen additional cars

The Proba ton Bill In the House.

The Senate's passage on Friday of the
bill 10 establish a probation system in the
District gives the House an opportunity
to concur in this important measure be-
fore the close of the, session. The bill
has IT appears been referred In the House
already to the judiciary instead of the
District committee. Thus 1t is not de-
pendent for action upon the time allot-
ment which gives the District special
day. A favorable report by the judiciary
committee will put the bill on the CAL
endar and there is presumably nothlhs
in 1t Of character to warrant objection
in case one of it's friends In the House
should undertake to secure passage for
it by unanimous consent.
While this is not an emergency measure
in the sense of meeting some new condi-
ton, it Is of a character to warrant
prompt action. In the broadest aspect 1t
Is an urgent proposition. II 1t is right that
man should be given a chance to re-
form after committing an offense of some
character, without going to jail or the
penitentiary a great injustice is being
done every day to the unfortunates who
are bundled off to prison regardless of
the unwholesome influences to which they
are there subjected Probation Is to be
regarded not as a privilege extended In
mercy, but as a right granted in the name
of civilization.
This is not measure which Is calcu-
lated to cause prolonged debate or to
arouse deep and searching inquiries into
legal history. Indeed. the report already
filed by the Senate committee which ap-
proved the bill carries conviction of the
necessity of enactment. Whether regard
ed from the economical or the sociological
point of view. the probation system as
proposed in this measure stands as type
of the new penology. which is but an ex-
preston OF modern civilization.
