PAST MASTER OF CROWDS.
Retiring London Police Superintend-
ent Talks on Traffic Handling.

eDt talks on 1rAfl1c Handling.
/ The city police force has lost +;
familiar and respected figure by ths
retirement of Superintendent Fitz
gerald, says the London Daily Chron
icle.
The retiring officer had a CHEEKY
welcome for Daily Chronicle rep
resentative who dropped in at his
office In Old Jewry to wish him
"good-by and good luck" Superin-
tendent Fitzgerald has of late had
much to do with the control of traf-
ffc and of the crowds that assembled
on special occasions, so he was ask
ed to talk about that.
We'll, as to traffic. he said, the
problem doesn't get any easter.
Whether the tubes tighten things at
all is questionable, and at the same
time you had tho Introduction OF
motor buses, which have aggravat-
ed the problem. From my experience
1 should say that the only real
remedy for congested traffic Is street
widening, enormous though the cost
would BE-, Look at harrington street
for Instance; do you ever see a
BLOCK there? As to the delay where
streets meet and cross, the city rule
is never to stop, one line of traffic
for more than a. minute. AS for the
suggestion that slow traf1ic should
be diverted. leaving the chief streets
for cabs and buses. we have practi-
|cally no such alternative routes east
and west. The ideal would be paral-
lei streets, one for eastward traffic
and the other for westward. Bearing
on the matter is the fact that the
streets are so literally watered as to
be dangerous for horses and motors.
This watering is specially excessive
at the sides OF the streets, so that We
hesitate about turning heavy traffic
there, as the burdened horses would
never get foothold.
las for London drivers, they re-
main as good as ever, though we
miss the old omnibus driver, whose
skill was world famous
With regard to city crowds they
are wonderfully easy to handle II
you go about 1t the proper way. II
you try to regulate them in a COM
mon sense manner they appreciate
your efforts and help you all they
can. But IL you were to try harsh
measures the work would be very
difficult
/ Yes. Londoners make the best
behaved and best tempered crowd in
the world and they are getting bet
ter and better. At one time lord
mayors show day was followed by a
large number of pocket picking char
ges, and there was rough ele-
ment to deal with, but all this has
practically disappeared. Our golden
rule Is to watch the side streets SO
that the crowds cannot converge
and become unwieldly." ~

1t was not the troops which we sent
to Cuba which allayed the internal
dissension. That was but a minor
detail which was of course necessary.
The point in connection with them
is that they were not used. Why?
Because William Howard Taft had
sized up the situation and devised a
satisfactory and just settlement Of af-
fairs. 1t is to Taft that we owe the
present reputation in Cuba that this
country has for fairness end square
dealing.
The peaceful settlement of the Gu

place on the democratic ticket, comes
the announce ment of Dover the secre-
tary of the republican national COM
mittee that the real fighting will be

Time was when we heard much of
the solid South" The solid south

most jaded democratic candidate.
Most of the estimates of the outcome
which have already begun to appear,
have overlooked the new apportion.
ment. True the solid south gained ten
votes in the electoral college, but the
northern states gained with Okla
homa) twenty six votes. Give Bryan
the solid south, New, York, New Jersey
and Connecticut and for that matter
Oklahoma and still he would be minus
a majority.
But If Bryan, as Is reported, will
make no more than perfunctory fight
in the East and will turn his real for
ces into the Middle West there is lit
tie hope for him. He is right in think
ing that the East will have none of
him, the eastern papers praise Judge
Gray of Delaware for not appearing on
the ticket with him.

Bryan can poll more votes than any
other democrat, but with the electoral
