"Pav-as-You-Enter" Cars.

Yesterday New York tried the ''pay-as-
you-enter'' cars and put them to a severe
test One hundred and fifty of them
were run on the Madison avenue line from
the Brooklyn bridge to Harlem. and dur
ing the day they carried 10000 passen-
gers a record number. without a jar or
hitch. The cars bore conspicuously on
their sides the signs admonishing the
passengers to have their exact fares
ready, and SO generally was the advice
followed that the people poured into the
cars and left them without friction. Only
occasionally some obdurate person would
persist in presenting bill or large coin.
perhaps to test the patience of the con-
ductor. The most gratifying feature of
the experiment was that the great ma
jority of the people appeared eager to
help to make the new cars a success.
It is this spirit of cooperation between
the public and the public service corpora
lions that makes for good results in every
direction. In the matter of street car rid
ing much of the confusion and congestion
arises from the Indifference of individuals
to the rights and comforts of other in
dividuaIs AS long as passengers are OBJ

themselves over more room in the seats

cannot be expected to make up the de-
ficiences due to such misbehavior.

New York's Latest Police Scandal.

The method finally adopted to demon

The Gambling Game at Benning.

The semi-annual spectacle at Benning
of legalized gambling is the more OBJ
noxious to District citizens this season
than formerly because of the fact that
court decisions have raised high hopes by
declaring that the stationary bookmaker
sets up gaming device and is punishable
under the law even outside of the mile
limit and then have shattered these hopes
bv declaring that the bookmaker on the
move does not set up a gaming device,
and can therefore under the law ply his
trade with impunity outside of the mile
limit The average Washngtonian cannot
easily understand the difference between a
peripatetic bookmaker. whose radius of ac-
ton is only a few feet. and stationary
one who has in the eye of the law, set
Up gaming table and Is therefore amen
able to penalties. Yet the citizen has no
disposition to dispute either decision of the
courts The rulings rendered merely
serve to emphasize the already apparent
Inconsistency of the statute which draws
with disastrous results a line of demarka-
ton within the District between the area
of permissible and prohibited gambling.
Whether bookmaking on the move is or
is not punishable gambling under the
law. as it may finally be interpreted. the
fact remains that 1T is gambling in the
eye of the entire community. No man
who plays the races regards it otherwise.
The patrons of the books at Bennng APP
proach the betting ring in the gambling
spirit intent upon getting the best odds
possible and upon winning tire largest
stakes for the smallest risks. The meth
DDS may change a trifie. but the spirit is
the same.
1t is hoped that this anomaly will i'm
press itself sufficiently upon Congress
during these next three weeks of legalized
gambling at Benning to lead the houses to
enact a new law which will carry the
prohibition against gambling and betting
in all forms clear to the District bound
aries If meanwhile any way can be
found within the law to stop the prac
tees which are daily tempting hundreds
Of Washingtonians to risk in An eventual

Senator Bryan.

The death Of Senator Bryan turns re-

lating his party and the country on the
rise of so young and gifted a man 10

thought at once of Mr.. Clay. who like Mr.
Bryan. was a lawyer a brilliant advocate.
and from an early introduction to national
affairs in the Senate grew to be great
power This was at the Christmas time.
In less than two months he was stricken.
and today the favorite of fortune Is dead.
1t is an extremely sad story.
1t is the sadder. too. by reason of the
fact that this is an era of young men In
our politics. and Mr.. Bryan's prospects
were exceptionally bright. The leaders of
our parties are men under fifty. They
are as full of fight and energy as though
fresh from their books. Mr.. Roosevelt Is
still all action in Office. Mr.. Bryan Of
Nebraska is all action trying to secure Of
fee. And Mr.. Hearst. the youngest of the
trio. is not only at the head OF a political
party whose aim is control Of the country,
but conducts half dozen prosperous
newspapers. The Florida senator could

recommend them.
He was product of what is called the
new south. By that is meant the manu-
featuring south as distinguished from
the old planting south; the south of d.
versified industries as distinguished from
the south whose eggs for SO long were
all in one basket. He knew of the old
south only from reading. That he loved
its traditions and was proud of his de-
scent it Is unnecessary TO say. But the
new south. with all of her responsibilities.
was alive before him; and as one of her
public servants in Congress he had. and
would have improved, great opportunities
to forward her material interests.
Mr.. Bryan had prepared himself for
politics. His tastes as we'll as his talents
ran in that direction. He said pleasantly
upon taking his seat in the Senate that
he hoped to become by good service the
oldest, as he was then the youngest, men,
Der Of the body. Had he lived he might
have had his wishes. But. as it turned
out, his was the briefest service OF al.
1t was long enough, however, to give him
place all his own, and to make its ter
mination a matter of universal regret.

Littlefield of Maine.

A serious loss befalls the House of Rep
resentatives in the retirement of Mr.. Lit
tlefield from its ranks at the close of the
present session of Congress. His resigna-
ton, the announcement of which comes
a surprise, is attributed by him to
his feeling that he can no longer afford
to sacrifice his time while the practice of
the law remains open to him as means
of earning a lucrative income for the
benefit of his family. 1t is apparent. how
ever. that.Mr LittlefieId. who is distinctly
OF an independent nature and who chafes
under restraint and checks has grown
weary of the responsibilities imposed upon
him and of the constant battling to hold
his position to which he was forced to re-
sort by the circumstances which have de-
veloped during the past few years.
fearless thinker and speaker, Mr.. Little
field has never been a follower in the
ranks. He has cut his own course and has
pursued it faithfully and fearlessy. and
even those who have encountered him on
the field of conflict have always respected
his fairness and his dominating sense of
the square deal. He now lays down
the toga Of the legislator to resume his
place at the bar. where his talents will
doubtless cause him TO shine 1t will be
interesting to follow his career in New
York. where report indicates he will

from Congress and according to report

tween Reed and Littlefield there are wide
differences of temperament which must
be taken into account in the anticpatory
reckoning. Washington, which has known
Mr.. Littlefeld for nine years will regret
his departure with the close of this Con-
gress. Perhaps, however, he will return
