tion 10 reserve for women one of the cars of
each subway train that the practicabiiity Of the
scheme is certainly worth considering Most
men who have mothers, wives, sisters or daugh-
ters will sympathze with the protest against
the rudeness TO which women are frequently sub
iected through the inadeuuacy of the city'S
transportation facilities, even though no mem
bers Of their own families have actually suf-
fpred from this cause If il should appear that
the plan would work no injustice to the travel
ling public generally. believe that so strong
a demand would be made by influential persons
of both sexes that the Tnterborough company
would he forced 10 comply with it and the CO.
operation of the Police Department would be
given if necessary, in the execution of the new
policy.
Ii should be understood, of course that such
women as have men escorts would travel in
other cars. Unless that rule we're adopted it
might be difficult TO determine instantly whether
n man who pretended to he accompanying
woman was telling the truth or not The car
reserved for the favored sex, then would during
certain hours be used mainly by persons engaged
in bread-winning pursuits who travel regularly
up and down town every day. A little later in
the morning and little earlier in the afternoon
its patrons would largely be women intent on
shopping the fulflment of social duties attend
ing church services or matinee performances at
the theatres or bound on errands of mercy.
During the busiest hours OF the day and evening
there would probably be enough women to fill
car and TO make the propriety of giving them
special privileges beyond question.
It may be doubted, however, whether this
would be true at other hours. The chief obtec-
ton of the InterborOugh company to the innova-
ton. therefore. would probably he the fact that
for parts of the day and night there would
be waste Of space An unequal distribution
of passengers could certainly be avoided if the
reservation were made for particular periods.
The question how best to effect a reform is
somewhat complicated, but with patience and
intelligence a satisfactory solution may yet be
found.
Though the need Of relief is probably more
urgent now than ii Will be year or so hence
possibly the Interborough company may be more
ready to afford it after the station platforms
have been heightened than it is at present
Longer trains will eventually be available than
can now be operated. In any case, il the change

Some of the critics Of the Payne bill have
expressed dissatisfaction with the form in which
it applies the maximum minimum principle The
House measure makes the minimum rates the
normal rates and applies the maximum rates to
impOrtatons from countries which deny the
United States the most favored nation priy-
Ieges. The critics aforesaid want 10 make the
maximum rates the normal rates and grant the
minimum rates TO nations with which we can
negotiate special tariff agreements.
It is argued that under the Payne plan we
shall not lie able to obtain equal treatment to
any great extent and shall be obliged 10 enforce
the maximum rates against many countries
which will prefer paying those rates to allowing
US to share advantages conceded by them 10
few favored neighbors Our South American
trade it is said. Will be diminished if we insist
on having the same concessions AS South Ameri-
can countries may happen to give 10 one another.
II is not at all clear that South American coun-
tries give 10 one another material concessions.
or any which they could not just easily give
to Us. There is no such thing in South America
a. the partial commercial union arranged by
Germany in Central Europe with Austria-Hm-
gary. Russia, Belgium. Switzerland. Servia and
Rumania. The South American countries have
not advanced far enough TO consider any init
mate scheme Of reciprocal trade relations.
Yet if to gain advantages in South America
and increase our trade with that continent We
should have TO reverse the Payne maximum
minimum plan and enforce maximum duties
against countries with which we cannot eX-
change tariff concessions, We should have to
antagonize Great Britain. our best international
customer. Great Britain is net in position to
engage in tariff trades. Our commerce in 1908
'O9 with the United Kingdom was valued at
S79SOO0OO0. Our sales to the United Kingdom
amounted in value to 500. $4,000 In the same
period our commerce with the whole of South
America was valued at S2OS,O00OO0. Our sales
[, South America amounted in value to $S3,-
5S3919. It would be foolish to antagonize a
customer like the United Kingdom in order to
apply a scheme Of unknown and possibly neg
ligible value for the development of trade with
the countries of South America.

the nominal control Of the Siamese government
and which that government has been either uh-
able or unwilling TO subject 10 real control. Al
most the only recognition of Siamese sovereign
" which those states have ever made has been
the sending Of q bunch of golden flowers to the
King every three years and the maintenance or
few Siamese postOfices in Kelantan- Or
course. no third power has any interest in them.
Their ambiguous status has been cause OF
some irritation and embarrassment to both Siam
and the British Malay states and has seriously
impeded their own progress in civlllzatlon ana
there can he no question that the denmLFe
establishment of British sovereignty over them
will have beneficial results
The quid pro quo will be of far more value 10
Siam than her Intellectual claim TO sovereignty
over the states has been. British capital Will
be provided for the extension northward OF
the NIalaccan railroad system. and also for the
extension southwark Of the Siamese roads until
there is a continuous line from Singapore to
Bangkok There will also be gradual extnc-
tion of the pxtra-territorial rights which Great
Britain enjoys in Siam proper. and consequent
establishment of the latter kingdom on a basis
of more perfect independence. The three states
are rich In natural resources both agricultural
and mineral producing rice. cOcOanuts, india
rubber valuable timber gold and tin. and In
Trfnganu there are considerable manufactures
of silk and cotton fabrics and metal and wood
work The people Of the states are almost en-
tirpIv Mahometans, who will greatly prefer the
religious freedom which they will enjoy under
British sovereignty TO the imposition of the
Buddhstic rule of Siam. The results Of the
cession are thus likely 10 be beneficial to all
concerned. though they will not mark an epoch
in the history of Further India.

THE STAMESE CESSION.

Neither the geography nor the commerce nor
yet the politics of the world will be revolution
lied by the conclusion of the treaty between
Great Britain and Siam. which has been under
negotiation for the last two years and which
provides for the cessiOn of three MalacCan states
10 the former power. Three states has a
somewhat formidable sound. from which it
might he imagined that at least all the Malay
Peninsula had been surrendered. As a matter
of fact, however, The three states cover an area
0, only about fifteen thousand square miles
They lie Immediately north of the Federated
Malay States and the acquisition Of them does
little more geographically than to rectify the
northern boundary of the latter. TringHnu lies
on the eastern coast of the peninsula. just north
of the British Malay state Of Pahang, extending
from the Cherating River to the Kslantan River,
and Kelantan lies just north of it, extending TO
the Telupn River on the borders Of the Siamese
state of Patani, while Kedah is small bit of
territory on the western coast Just north Of
Perak- The new boundary between the British
possessions and Siam will thus run directly
ACROSS the peninsula from east 10 west. or from
northeast 10 southwest.
Politically the cession is merely the relin-
qushment by Siam of a certain shadowy suze-
rainty over three petty and troublesome border
states which have never been under more than

A proposition to abolish smoking cars on sub
urban trains is under discussion in Chicago
The chief argument advanced in its favor, of
course. is that the crowded condition of the
other coaches sometimes forces women to seek
seats in the smoker where the atmosphere Is
sitting and the surroundings may be IN other
respects offensive. To many commuters the
proposed change would cause little inconven-
ience but a few would object to it. The home
ward bound journey after business affords an
exceptional opportunity for indulgence IN
habit of long standing. and the privilege ac-
corded by the railroads has come toSbe regarded
by its devotees as a right. Why not meet the
difficulty by making the trains longer?

men have criticised her to that effect far more
severely than we have ever thought Of doing
Since Mr.. Castro has been expelled from Ven
ezuela and a republic has been re-estabhshed IN
that country, Colombia should enjoy peace AT
the east, and through the ratification OF the
pending treaty friendly relations with her west
ern neighhor will be assured. In such circum-
stances. and with so strong and prudent states
man as Rafael Reyes in the Presidential chair
her outlook should be bright indeed.

COLOMBIA AND TIE TRE4TT.

II IS much To he regretted that there is even
Fripartite treaty which was recently negotiated
by that country. Panama and the United States
for the settlement Of all remaining controversies
among them resulting from the isthmian revolu-
ton Of 1893 and which has been cordially &C
cepted by the two other parties II it. Prompt
ratification Of good treaties is always desirable
and 81 is particularly desirable in a case-lfIe
the present, We may say without ofTence-in
which one Of the governments concerned is not
80 stable to be entirely secure from some
danger OF possible disturbance. The Colombian
government has in recent years shown agreeable
and encouraging progress. but ifs unfortunate
record in earlier times is not forgotten, and
suggests the desirability Of pursuing now such
q course as viii make any relapse improbable.
The reason which is given for the delay at
Bogota is plausible. We are told that the
Colombian Congress- now tn session is not con
stitufionally competent TO ratify the treaty. and
.hat Il viii he necessary to convene for that
purpose a national assembly of special character.
OF the truth OF that contention Colombian consti-
4utional lawyers are. Of course. the best judges.
If il is true, Colombia IS. OF course acting wise
II IN delaying ratification until the act can be
performed in al unquestionably constitutional
manner. enly we should say that the neces-
sary sfeps toward such constitutional ratiica-
fion ought 70 be taken at the earliest possible
moment.
There is inspiring opportunity at this time
for Colombia 10 confirm her auspicious entry
ints a new era Of legitimacy. peace and pros,

sadly saeking. may say without censori-
ousness. since her own historians and states
