grade crossing remains as for many years
past. the only protection to the public
being barrier gates operated by hand,
dependent for efficiency upon the fidelity
of watchmen. Thursday while returning
from-a funeral a carriage containing four
mourners was struck by locomotive at
one of these crossings in Haverstraw and
all the occupants, including the driver.
were killed. When the carriage APP
preached the crossing. a regularly sched-
uled train having just passed, the gates
were up and the Waterman was eating
his dinner in his shelter hut. The track
was obscured from view by a heavy
growth Of timber and shrubbery. The
driver started his team across the track
thinking 1t clear. although at that
moment locomotive was not more than
twenty-five feet away. advancing at full
speed. The gates were dropped after
the carriage reached the tracks, impris-
onng the victims as in trap.
The maintenance OF such crossings by
railroads should be regarded as direct
invitations to disaster and responsibility
for them and for all tragedies at such
points should be visited directly upon the
corporations themselves, as accountable
for persistence in a plainly deadly condt-
ton. Despite the so-called elimination OF
grade crossings in Washington, there re-
main within what should always be rec
ognized as the urban area of the District
a number of such death traps. There Is
for example, one at Takoma. and another
at Brookland and another at Langdon, ana
two or three at Benning. There are
others in addition to these mentioned. all
OF them frequently used by pedestrians
and by vehicles. In some cases they are
masked by shrubbery and buildings so
that the approach OF trains cannot be
observed They are ideal man killers and
with all the so-cailed safety devices, gates
and bells and flagmen, they still take their
toll in human life and will continue to do
so as long as they exist.
The Haverstraw tragedy should be rec
ognized as local warning. The District
of Columbia should be freed to the utter
most limits of this menace and without
further loss of time than that incidental
to the passage of a law peremptorliy
commanding this work to be done by the
railroads, under the severest penalty Tor
failure or delay.

Washington's Finances.

The Star prints today the concluding
installment Of its discussion of the
Finances of the National Capital Part
nership.'
The nations obligation of proportionate
contribution toward the maintenance and
development of the federal District is
equitable in it's nature, based primarily
on the circumstances of the capitals orig
inal creation, and secondarily on present
and continuous conditions enforcing both
the original and renewed obligation upon
the nation the untaxed owner of a
large fraction Of Washington's real estate
and of over 1000 acres of the unplatted
portion Of the federal District. The obli-
cation is just and as binding today
as it was at the beginning of the century.
National recognition OF this obligation is
crystallized in the organic act of 1873.
That act should be faithfully and thor
oughly obeyed and sustained. both in let
ter and in spirit. 1t should not be at
tackled, directly or indirectly, openly or
insidiousiy, by threats of wholesale repeal
or by undermining the law and destroying
II piecemeal as by combining it's applica-
ton 10 a limited portion of the federal
District. or by multiplying the spirit of the
legislation through numerous exceptions
in enacting laws and making specific ap-
preparations hostile to its intent. Instead
OF quibbling over and attempting to evade
this act, as by proposing to open and
improve suburban streets in the federal
District solely at local expense, or to
create and maintain public Fairgrounds
solely from the District tax revenues, the
equitable principle embodied in the Or
ganic act should be applied to the period
before 1878, and If the financial relations
of nation and capital are to be unsettled
and reopened, instead OF curtailing the
national contribution, just reimbursements
should be made to the District for local
expenditures beyond its proper proportion
during the three-quarters OF a century of
national neglect.

Grade Crossing Mauslauehter.

A few years ago the deadly grade cross
ing figured frequently in the news re-
ports. Weekly, almost daily. people were
caught and manned or killed by loco
motives on city streets and on country
roads. After many losses and great suf-
fering the public demanded a reform, and
pressure has been applied to the rail-
road companies and to lawmakins
bodies, with the result Of the elimination
of large percentage OF these death
traps in the urban areas, while many OF
the rural crossings at grade have been
abandoned in favor OF overhead or under
ground crossings In the neighborhood OF
the cities. Still, the crossing gate is yet
to be seen in the smaller cities and the
villages. while thousands Of unguarded
crossings remain in the open country.
even In areas OF close population and
heavy traffic. The steam railroad man.
killer continues to contribute a large
quota of tragedies.
The latest OF these killings is OF a
particularly atrocious character. At Hav-
erstraw. New York, within thirty miles

run day and night, never to close Its
doors. So rushed were the people, it was
announced. that it was absolutely neces-
sary, in order to enable them to get rid
of their surplus cash and put it into q
safe place. that an opportunity should be
offered to bank at all hours. Strangers
were shown the Night and Day Bank as
an evidence that New York never sleeps.
The lights burning within the institution
were regarded almost as reverently as
altar flames. The midnight tellers were
considered as the highest types OF metro
.politan enterprise and progress. But lately
the directors of the Night and Day Bank
have noticed that while the lights burn
brightly and the institution is pointed out
with pride by New Workers escorting ru-
raj cousins about the city. and loudly
proclaimed by the orators on the sight
seeing automobiles, little business was
done after 8 O'Clock. So. having more re-
gard for dividends than for furnishing an
object of tourist interest, the directors
have decreed that hereafter the bank will
open at O. clock in the morning and close
at midnight. The ultra New Yorker,
whose proud boast it is that he never gets
beyond the roar of the elevated trains, to
whom the region north of Spuyten Duy-
vii creek and west of the steamship
wharves in Hoboken is a negligible wilder
ness, who regards the mayor Of New
York as greater man than the President
Of the United States. Will doubtless con-
slider the closing Of the bank for eight
hours a personal affront and a traitorous
attack upon the city's greatness. But
probably the managers Of the institution
are better judges of what New York really
needs, and their disposition to economize
may eventually be cited as an evidence
Of the shrewd business sense that domi-
mates everywhere in Manhattan.

No More All.Night Banking

New York always likes to regard itself
as the busiest city in the world. 1t takes
itself very seriously on this side, how
ever much it may frivol for amusement
and recreation. Nothing pleases a New
Yorker more than for q visitor to notice
the great rush in the streets. and to ex-
press admiration at the immense con-
courses of people. and to protest against
the terrific congestion on the transporta !.
ton lines. Indeed. the average New
Yorker regards the physical discomfort
OF dense population as a tribute to his
personal sagacity and cleverness. Give
him half a chance and he will talk vol
ubly In statistical terms about the ire
mendous volume of business done or

banking institution was started that ap-

King George.

It is announced that in making up MS
household King George has retained
large number of those who served his
father. This should prove popular step,
for it smacks Of both gratitude and diplo-
macy. The father was we'll served, and
the son, by attaching to himself men
familiar with their duties and already IN
the confidence of the public. should profit.
Some of them must be veterans and not
far from retirement for age: but 1t is
good stroke to continue them In commits
sion while their vigor remains.
The prophets foretold at the start that
the new order would show radical differ
ences of every character from the old.
Nothing of the old would be permitted
to remain. New faces in Office, new faces
az court, new recreations for the sover-
eign, would mark the change. An austere
ruler had succeeded pleasure-lovins
ruler. and the new rulers taste would
appear in everything.
This did not seem reasonable. 1t sug-
gested a disapproval Of the father by the
son in face Of the fact that the father,
both at home and abroad, had achieved
an extraordinary personal popularity and
business success. Why should the son
u
what his own people and others had so
cordially indorsed? Why not, both as a
cold calculation and as a warm f1l1al eS-
preston, steer by the chart which had
carried the ship of state so far and so
successfully?
We shall have to wait for the new king
to demonstrate himself. His new duties
will bring him out. He may go In" for
the turf without surrounding himself
with the sporty element. He may patron
ize the play or the opera without cult
waiting a taste for visits behind the scenes.
He may play at cards for stakes without
approving Of high wagers and reckless
indulgence. And it will be strange il he
does not cultivate his craftsmanship in
the hunting field. and fill a bag to boast Of.
All of the new kings public appearances
and performances have produced APPROX

deal Of his fathers funeral ceremonies
he carried himself with a poise which
visitors and his own people alike highly
praised AS the politicians are not rush.

examine the difficult questions before par
