EXPLICIT AND NECESSARY.

Section 53 Of the Public Service commissions
law. tie meaning Of which the Board of Esti-
mate purposes 10 test in the courts. appears to
be perfectly explicit. 1t is:
Without first having obtained the permission
and approval Of the proper commission. no rail-
road corporation. street railroad corporation or
common carrier shall begin the construction of A
railroad street railroad, or any extension
thereof, for which prior to the time when this
act becomes 2 law a certificate Of public con-
venence and necessity shall not have been
granted by the board of railroad commission
ers where prior to said time said corpora
tion common carrier shall not have become
entitled by virtue Of its compliance with the
provisions Of the railroad law TO begin such con-
strnction; llor, except as above provided in this
section, Srlall any Such corporation or common
carrier exercise any franchise or right under
any provision OF the railroad law or of any
cfher Law. not heretofore lawfully exercised
without first having obtained the permission and
Approval Of the proper commission.
That says as plainly as law ever says any
thing that no franchise granted to railroad or
street railroad corporation after the passage Of
the act shall be valid unless il has the approval
Of the proper Public Service Commission. And
this is required whether the franchise is granted
under the railroad law 'or any other law
which seems to dispose effectuaIly of the con-
lenticn of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tIoninent that the Public Service Commission
of this district is ''usurping" rights which be-
long 10 the board
r The right 10 approve or disapprove the terms
If franchises is an essential part of the policy
of state regulation 1t would be an absurdity
for the state TO create body with such powers
as the Public Service Commission has and for
the purpose for which the commission was
created and yet give il no authority TO put its
policies into effect through the terms Of fran
chises subsequently granted. Moreover. the
commission In this district is charged with the

4 SELF-SOLVING PROBLEM.

JOAQUIN Miller In his address before the
graduating class OF q college in California, is
said to have ntimated pretty strongly that col
lpge men were a useless lot and TO have added
the advice that they take up farming as a means
Of diversion That this is a logical sequence IS
not apparent but in all probability n majority
of the poets hearers took his remarks as being
of the nature of a poetic license. and will try
their hands in law. theology, medicine. journal
ism and business much rs preceding graduates
have done
1t should not he forgotten that farming
and college men are not now entire stran-
gers. Several years ago, when a loud wall went
up from the harvest fields of the Middle West
for men to the number of several hundred thou
sand more or less. to garner the golden grain.
some trainIOads of husky athletes determined TO
get close 10 nature and reap shekels while they
helped reap wheat Some of them made good"
but the majority decided that natures voice
sounded too harsh about 80 O'Clock in the
morning and had lost its subsequent sweetness
long before sunset in the evening. so that the
farmers found it preferable to let their daugh-
ters drive the harvesting machines than to I'M
port trained men from educational institutions.
In the mean time, notwithstanding The fears
OF Dr. Wilson. Of Princeton. and other less emf
nent but equally troubled students Of the stu
dent. the graduates of the colleges Will probably
continue to find places for themselves in the
economic system of the country. II Is TO be
noted that an increasingly large proportion Of
the leaders in every branch of human endeavor
are college men, whatever the defects of the in
stitutfons from which they come. however inn
practical the knowledge there acquired may he.

his bearings he generally makes a pretty credit

societies to be invaded or the prosperity ana
benefcence of those societies TO be impaired A
prominent representative Of the Order or Drulus
declared that the present old age pension sys-
TEN was "a penalty on friendly society thrl1t'
and he deprecated though he did not parucu-
Iarly expect, government insurance schelnes
which would compete with the methods OF the
society. The president of the Hearts OF Oak
approved the old age pension system and hoped
for its extension. but he reported that the
proposed schemes of state insurance against
sickness and unemployment had aroused serl-
o1ls apprehensiOns among friendly societies ana
had provoked protests and resolutions against
state interference with the work of those Or
CARNATIONS.
II must be obvious, we should say, that the
establishment of general systems OF state III
surance and pensions would interfere, proOaply
10 a ruinouS degree with the work or the
friendly societies If the state undertook 10
do the work which the societies are doing. and
if it practically imposed its system, compulso-
riIy. upon the members of the societies, the so
cieties would almost certainly be greatly IN
iUred If not destroyed Their members Would
not wish or could not afford duplication OF
their protective and indemnifying contf1Du-
tions If they found themselves, hotenS roiehS'
insured by the government they would not IN
addition voluntarily insure themselves. Inc
choice is between IaiSser fdirc and paternalisn;
between encouraging independent thrift ana
voluntary mutual aid among the people ana dlS-
corraging or penalizing thrift and making the
people dependent upon state bounty; between
enabling and encouraging men to aid them
selves and each other and causing them to look
to the state for an aid scarcely distngushable
from aims We should say that there ought to
be little hesitation in making choice between
the two systems.

duty Of developing q comprehensive rapid tran
sit system for this city. For such purpose 1t
is obviously essential that it should have con
troll over the terms of the franchises to he
granted in this CITY. The need is admirably il
lustrated in the case of the franchise to ap-
proach and cross greensboro Bridge which IS
the subject of controversy between the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment and the com
mission The board has granted a practlcaI
monopoly of the approach TO the br.css IN
Queens to a subsidiary Of the Inter~crouSl
company Such franchise would stand IN the
way of the city and of the commission In future
development of traction facilities in Queens
To permit the board to grant such franchises
would be TO block the commission in Its Work
Of providing for an adequate traction system III
this city. And the greensboro Bridge instance
is not isolated and insignificant.

GENTLE.

DISPATCHES from Lincoln, Neb.. say that Mr.
Bryan in this weeks issue of The Commoner
gently rebukes the Democratic Senators who
voted for a duty iron and lumber. The
gentleness of the condemnation is probably due
to the fact that Mr.. Bryan does not feel himself
on solid ground in reproaching other distin-
guished Democrats for failing TO observe the
pledges Of a national platform. He has a record
Of his own a platform repudiator. The Demo
cratic National Convention of 1892 declared in
favor of repeating the 10 per cent tax on the
banknote circulation Of state banks. When
bill To carry that promise into effect was con
sidered in the House Of Representatives on June
g. 1894, Mr.. Bryan, then a Representative, spoke
and voted against it, He maintained that he
was not bound by the national platform, which
could bind only those who on it."
Who run on the national platform? Mr.. Bryan
seemed to think in 1884 that Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr. Stevenson, the successful Democratic can
didates for President and Nice-President in 1892,
were the only persons under any obligation to
respect the party pledges made by the Demo
cratic National Convention. Yet, If he was right
in so thinking he and Mr. Kern are the only
Democrats now pledged TO redeem the promises
Of the Denver platform. and they seriously
handicapped as pledge redeemers by being both
AT present in private life Are Democratic Rep
resentatives and Senators now in Washington
justified in saying that they did not for
election on the Denver platform and need not
bother about its mOribund declarations! If so,
It is wise on Mr.. Bryans part to deal gently
with backsliders in the two houses Of Congress.
GentIenesS is in his case n virtuous necessity as
well as a necessary virtue.
