WHY NOT BE MORE LIBERAL?

HE JOURNAL doubts whether there is any
n other railroad so rich and prosperous as
the Delaware Railroad Company which at times
treats its patrons as shabbily The attitude of
the railroad company seems TO be to consider that
IL is comforting favor on the hundreds who trav-
e by accepting their money and giving them
transportation. The grumbes and growls fall
on deaf ears. The kicks" are received by the inn
movable trainmen. with the utmost suavity, and
perhaps a concealed smile as they witness the fire.
quent discomfort of passengers. Of course the
tranmen are not to blame They get their di-
rections from the men higher up.
Take for example the early Sunday morning
train down the State These Sunday trains al
ways carry many passengers, for it is great Wis
itng day Last Sunday when the train stopped
at Wilmington there a mad rush of blacks
and whites, a scramble to enjoy the privilege of
having seat on Delaware railroad train You
pay your money and then engage in a football
scrimmage to get a seat. The train may be long
but itIeoks short compared win the understanding
81 he'AStaton platform Then you ask if they
are going 10 pat Oh more cars and you are inform
ed that they are not. 1t looks like a case Of
stand up But the jam proves to be too much
and even the sardne packing abilities of the train
men are exhausted.
So the train starts with people who have paid
their fares and the asles packed until the
west yard is reached and then a car is put on,
and you may get a seat But on ,ast Sunday
even the extra car did not accommodate the peo-
pie
This crowding and jamming of passengers on
a hot day is said TO be OF frequent occurrence on
. the Delaware Railroad When the train leaves
Wilmington there ought to be sufficient seats to
accommodate the people. Really a man who can
not get a seat should refuse to give up his tick
ct or TO pay his fare. When he purchases a ticket
it does not enttle him to pell-mell rush and
stand up until the west yard is reached.
This jamming policy we should think would be
bad business policy for the Delaware Railroad
Company Ii shoult have its patrons as its
friends Railroad managers complain that the
public are unfriendly and their newspaper organs
when any other newspaper complains of such
things we have mentioned shout 'demagogue,'
and all that kind Of silly stuff; and yet such dis
regard of the comfort and rights of the pub
lie is what stirs up prejudice and sentiment
against railroads. all Of which could be avoided
by little common sense and respect for the
rights of the people
1t is much better to praise than to condemn
but complaints such as we are calling attention
10 are so frequent the part of patrons Of the
Delaware Railroad Company that The Journa
believes it is about time the company shoulC
make an effort to cease from engaging in the hu
man sardne packing business and treat its pa
irons so that words of praise instead of grunt
of dissatisfaction will be more frequent on tn,
. Delaware railroad.

This is the old style of enforcing police
authority, carried to an extreme. Cleve-
land has had something similar to it
at different times in the past.
Mayor Gaynor qualities the express
sion of his desire to see the golden
rule" in operation In New York, and
wisely. He says he wants an "intelli-
gent application of it, An admins
tration of the golden rule" which
avoids arrests such as those that
aroused his ire in the night police
court, is bound to be of benefit to the
city. But the application of this good
principle by policemen who use it to
favor friends or who fail to discrimi-
nate between rOwdies and those whose
intentions are good, is bound to lead
to bad results. Immunity from arrest
granted habitually to bar room and
street corner loafers for minor Of
fenses is accepted by them as equiva-
lent to an official permit to do as they
please. The result is a rapid increase
in street ruffianism and from that the
advance to highway robbery and bur-
glafy is easy, swift and natural.
If Mayor Gaynor gives the golden
rule" a trial we wish him AL success.
And we believe he will attain it pro-
vided he can have the rule applied in
a truly intelligent manner.

the higher animals have definite meth
DDS Of love-making," said Professor
Wheeler. "The fact is that scores Of
insects have really complicated meth
DDS Of attracting mates. Some of these
methods are the conventionalities and
traditions of insect courtship.
Female Bugs Are Coy.
Just as among human beings, nearly
all insects seek to attract mates either
by their brilliant colors and good looks
or by come weird accomplishment. On
the other hand, the female in every
species of insect life affects manner
of great coyness."
Professor Wheeler then described the
methor of the scorpion beau to intro
duce himself to a lady scorpion.
"The male scorpion, having gained
the attentions of the female, advances
toward her with a sort of sidewise,
hesitating walk. AS they approach
the walk slows to a very deliberate ad-
vance. At a little distonce they halt
and gaze intensely into each others
eyes.
Then, still seeming TO gaze intent
~ at each other they raise themselves
vertically and hold this position for
several minutes. After this introduc-
tion the scorpions take a sort of prom
enade, one of the most serious features
of the love-making program"

THAT CARNIVAL AFFAIR.

TT is unfortunate that the new Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital should have been in
volved either directly or indirectly in a conflict
with the police department. The managers of the
hospital surely do not wish TO be responsible for
anything to cause adverse comment
The hospital like most other public institutions
in this state is in need of financial support. 1t is
dependent upon the good will of the people and
must have their moral and pecuniary support. Ii
was started by physicians who believed that it
was impractical for them TO avail themselves of
the facilities of the other hospitals. 1t has made
a good record so far in caring for the sick and
an effort has been made have the hospital reach
a high standard of efficiency
Such criticisms as have been made of the car
nval' which was planned to bring in money for
the hospital likely to do the institution dam
age, but we fancy that far-minded people do
not wish to see the hospital hampered in its early
life. The difficulty seems to have been that the
enterprises in connection with raising money for
the hospital have not had the careful supervision
OF the managers that they should have had There
seems to have been misunderstanding all round.
but we trust that there will be no dimnuaton Of
the good will of the people which has been amplv
manifested towards the institution.
If mistakes have been made they have certainly
been unintentional, and are unlikely TO be re.

"Women Policemen"

New York Sun.
A number of Western cities are max
ing a trial of the woman policeman"
for the park Fairgrounds. Los Ange-
les testifies that the plan has worked
well in that town, and now Kansas
City adds her Endorsement" of the
experiment. The Journal of that town
reports Miss Elinor X. Canny, the Kan
sas City officer, as sayinf:
Il want to be a 'policewoman' so /
can have the authority TO make these
great big gawks of men who come
hanging around our playground move
on. If any one wants to know who's
who around that playground just let
them start something"
That a young woman of such forci-
bleness might have effective methods
of discipline appears obvious. Last
season she introduced cold baths in an
attempt to stop lighting among the
smaller lads, but this proved effective
only during the early spring days and
became popular punishment when
dog days came. Thereupon the num-
Der of fights increased so fast that
Miss Canny was forced to find another
way. Once more the journal:
Seconds. referees, etc, were select
ed and all who wanted to fight we're
given a chance. Miss Canny acted as
master of ceremonies and made the
perspiring lads keep at it until every
ounce Of aggressiveness had left their
systems. Since that time not a single
scrap has been pulled off on the play
grounds"
A policewoman with such originality
and such rare knowledge of human
nature deserves her star.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. 9-When
a man is head over heels in love;
when he is torn by jealousy; when hat
red Of a rival possesses him, he often
becomes a bug to use an expression
rather slangy. Still, it is surprising
that when an insect is filled with love
jealously or hate it becomes more Of
bug than ever.
Prof William NJ. Wheeler of the I'm
iversity, has been deeply interested
in the question. Have insects an
emotional life2" Professor Wheeler
has been carefully studying grasshop-
pers, crickets, scorpions, butterflies
and many other insects He declares
there are strong indications that all of
them feel iealously, hate and love, and
that they display physical courage at
exactly the proper moment. Besides
some of these small creatures are love
makers as expert as a nobleman with
an old title and without a penny, who
woos a millionaire's daughter.

FAIRGROUNDS.

HE "plsyFest" at Washington Heights with
u the merry children who are the beneficial
res OF our Fairgrounds is sufficient justihca-
ton, II any we're needed, for the efforts that have
been made in this city for Fairgrounds. 1t was a
delightful occasion and shows what is in store
for children when the city has a system of play
grounds such as it should have and will have.
The playground movement is rapidly spreading
throughout the country For instance in Meri-
den, Conn, the Business Mems Association has
voted TO establish playground. New London
is enthusiastic over the good work done by the
Fairgrounds New Haven and Hartford are to
have more Fairgrounds. Ansonia is pleased with
its Fairgrounds. Those interested in the move
ment are confident that a good work is being
done.
Each year people are striving to leave the city
during the heated term. All cannot go, and most
Of those who do 60, take but brief outing.
The great majority of children are forced to
spend practically all summer in the city Play
grounds come to them as blessings and the neces-
sity for Fairgrounds will be greater year after
year.
How important therefore, is it that our city
officials should see that suitable propertyis secur-
ed for extending the playground system in Will

DODGING ISSUES.

R 9TH the old parties of Connecticut, accord
- ing to the Bridgeport Post, are attempting
to shy at the real issues which are before the
voters of that state In the past, says the Post,
the cry has been against alleged extravaganza,
but the voters do net pay much attention TO this
because they known that party is as bad as
the other when conducting the financial affairs
of the state. And the voters will not heed the op-
position TO expenditures if the money goes for
good roads and other improvements. false is
sue, as the Post views it, obtains, but the vot-
ers will not be deceived.

to dodge such questions as a public service

wooing of some species of spiders:

To Fix Up Their Political Fences.

There is strong movement, ema-
mating from the senate. to adjourn the
extra session of the legislature next
Saturday or the following Monday.
after passing the direct primary and
registration bills.
A general restlessness is prevalent
on the part of the members of the leg
stature to get back to their homes for
the remaining conventions and fall
campaigns. On every side they are
urging adjournment after the passage
of the direct primary and the registra-
ton bills.
I'VE have been here too long now"
said one of the machine leaders, land
the fall campaigns require the pres
ence of members to carry on their
fight for the tickets"
Some of the platform senator's, be.
cause of pressing business affairs,
want to adjourn also.
The house may not agree, however,
to such program. Representative H.
A. Hicks of Gilpin, and his co-workers,
are opposed to any adjournment until
all the pledges of the platform have
been enacted into law. The senate
cannot adjourn for more than three
days without the house doing likewise
and the platform members of that
body intend to make fight. The
senate, by refusing to pass any bills,
II is said in the house, will lay itself
open to censure.
1t is pointed out that If the senate
wished to do so it could pass all the
platform measures almost as rapidly
as it could the direct primary and reg
istration. 1t would only be matter OF
a day or two difference.
