WHY NOT7

The Nashville American chides us
for misunderstanding local sentiment
when We suggested that the near beer
which they sell down where the Cumber-
land flows would probably in time as
suage the thirst and placate the palate
of Middle Tennessee as effectively as the
nearer beer of precious memory We
cited the fact that Berlin loves its mild
weiss bier even more than it does its
lager Of heavier alcoholic content, and
said that there was no reason WHY prac-
tically dealcoholized beer should not be
pOpulariZed in states in this country
with prohibition tendencies But "The
American protests more in sorrow than
in 8ngcr-tbat if our suggestion was
meant seriously it is only amusing
Fancy an indignant anti-prohbitionist
III Tennessee, who clamors for the repeal
Of the Statewide" law and resists its
local enforcement, contcnting himself
with an amber fluid not banned by that
law, however reminiscent its taste and
however natural its color and collar.
What they want apparently with every
glass of beer in Tennessee is q certificate
that the brew contains enough alcohol
t. put it in the bad graces Of the pro
hibitioniStS.
Our Nashville friend should not re
prove us for trying TO show that good
palatabie beer and prohibition law are
not mortal enemies. 4 recent report
from the American Consul General in
London describes new English ale. al
most indistinGuishable from the old
fashioned article in looks and taste,
which is so breNcd that 1t contains only
nine-tenths of ! per cent OF alcohol.
The only difference is in the after effect,
and that difference may be put TO the
new beverages credit. Beer and ale are
really all the better for having , low
perCentac" Of alcohol, 9s the German
beers drunk in Germany demonstrates
Why should Nashville despair? If it
cuts ont the idea that alcoholic strength
is the sole test Of virtue in the contents
of the foaming stein. 1t can renew q
happy past without fear of friction with
the statewide law or of katzeniammers

W0RTH CONSEnEHENG-

''The New York World is busy en-
couraging Independent and Republican
voters to elect a Democratic Congress
and Democratic governors and state
legislatures this year not because the
Democratic party deserves success hut
simply TO rebUke alleged Republican
shortcomings. IT does not strengthen
its appeal when it points out that Demo
cratic legislatures if chosen this fall
would have a chance 10 redraw the lines
of the Congress districts in many states
under new federal apportionmeut. II
Is obvious what viii happen If the duty
OF reShaping the Congress districts in
any Northern state is committed TO a
Democratic legislature The Democratic
party, returned temporarily 10 power
would defy the spirit of the federal law
which aims at iust apportionment. and
shsmelessiy gerTymander every Northern
state as il has gerryma ndered every
Southern and border state where parti-
san eXigencies have made such an pXpe-
dent desirable
1t is charged by The World that the
rcdistricting of Republican states after
the census Of 1900 was performed in q
partisan fashion" Yet the present appor-
tionment of Representatives in the Re
publican states is exceptionally fair and
exceptionally generous TO tie minority.
Practically the only instances of gross
PARTISAN discrimination are in the states
under Democratic control In New York
in the last ten years the dist tribution Of
seats ia Congress between the two par
ties has cOrresponded very closely TO tho
strength shown by the parties in state
and national elections. In 1908, when
the Republican electoral ticket had a
plurality of 302.G02, eleven Democratic
Representatives were elected out Of a to-
tai Of thirty-seyen. 4 Democratic ticket
might win in the state 10y 1900 plu-
rality and the victory carry with il q ma
iority OF the Congress delegation. In
PENNSYLVANIA the apportionment is equal
ly favorable 10 the minority. Mr.. Tafts
plurality in that state was 396.3D4. Yet

elected out of fhirty-two, and IA of

THE PPoBLEM FOR TIE STREET
RAILWAYS.

The cutting off Of transfers by the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
has not turned out TO be the saving OF
that company. To be sure, it did not so
so far as some Of those who were prov
ing a couple of years ago that transfers
were bankrupting the street railways
would have carried it, but it did go
far enough to disclose some merits If IT
had any Nothing is heard nowadays
of this short way TO restore the prosper
ity of the traction lines, 50 it is fair TO
suppose that faith in its efficacy Is
gone. And it is no wonder, when the
returns Of the Metropolitan system with
its transfers materially reduced are con
sidered
The great savings in operating eX-
penses which were TO he effected 10y not
carrying passengers free" do not ap-
pear to have materialized. for during
the wear which ended on June .. 1910,
operating expenses were 20 per cent Of
gross earnings. And net income after
taxes and rentals bad been deducted
was SO small that the reorganization of
the company is evidently going to be
difficult problem.
But perhaps the most serious symp-
tom for the company is the fact that 1t
no longer receives its share Of the great
growth of traffic in this city. With the
subway carrying 30.000.G00 more pas
senGers last year than the year
before and the Manhattan elevated
lines carrying 100000 more the Met
r0politan street railways carried only
100000 more. And since the placing
Of fare boxes at the entrance of street
cars has probably resulted in q more
complete registration of passengers than
formerly was possible. il is probable
that the increase on the street railways
is even less than the figures indicate
This failure Of the street railways to
get their share Of the growing traffic
has been evident from the statistics at
least for the last two years. It con
stitutes the grayest problem for their
mana cement
