4 BIT or PEEL.

A case which In this city would seem
extraordinary was tried and determinen
the other day in London in the hlnG :
Bench division of the High Court "f
Justice. 4 patron of the underground
railway had slipped and fallen Oh blt
Of banana skin which somebody mad
dronped on the floor at the foot Of the
stairs. and had injured himself so Sc
verely as to require much medical at
tentiOn: wherefore he sued for damages.
He claimed that the railroad company
was guilty of negligence in permitting
the bit Of peel TO lie on the floor. Ihe
cGmpanv in defence insisted that by
having the floor swept twice day II
exercised all due care, and charged the
plaintiff with contributory negligence In
not seeing the peel before he trod on H..
The jury found for the plaintlh ana
awarded him $500 damages.
1t is not a common thing 10 see banana
or orange peel on the stairs and floors
of our underground or elevated stations.
Moreover. the floors are swept or, at
hast, the coarser parts Of the dirt are
removed. Oftener than twice day. But
there is no reason why many persons
should not he injured daily from that
cause on the premises Of the greatest of
all our metropolitan corporations. the
CITY of New York itself. The reckless
freedom with which fruit skins are
dropped on the sidewalk, especially in
the freouented downtown streets, Is
Scandalous.
For the results Of such carelessness
the city is responsible. Perhaps it Is too
much 10 demand that the city shall
maintain a sufficient force Of servants
to pick up instantly every hit Of peel
thrown upon the tagging. But at least
Il ought to he possible 10 impose few
penalties upon offenders so severe as 10

the practice There Is, we believe. an
ordinance making il punishable misde-
meanor for anybody to drop fruit skins
upon the sidewalk. hut. Judging from
the frequency with which it is disre-
earded and broken. we cannot suppose
that there Is any serious and systematic
effort TO make it effective. The penalty
for an unnecessary and wanton practice
which puts human limb and life in peril
shOnld he severe. Yet if somebody were
arrested for it judge would probably
dismiss him with a reprimand, saying it
would he time enough 10 punish him
when some one actually got hurt. or that
il was TO he expected that every person
would have one fall over a banana peel
and that he would have no ground Of
complaint until he fell a second time
on the principle enunciated from the
bench in the case Of a man who had
hren bitten by a yicious dog. that every
dog was entitled to one bite"

PEORG4NIZING THE METROPOLI-
TAN

Not very detailed ,idea of the pro-
posed reorganization Of the Metropolitan
traction lines in this city was afforded
bv the plan which creditors committee
recently made public. but In a general
way it appears TO resemble that proposed
for the Third Avenue Railroad, and II is
likely to raise the same problem before
the Public Service Commission Capital1-
zation is said to he cut S40.OOOOOO, which
is very we'll in its way, and fixed charges
are said TO be reduced by the plan ST.
100000 a year. But the acceptability OF
the reorganization from public point OF
view will turn not on the amount Of
these cuts in themselves hut on the
probability Of the new Companys being
able To earn, if the plan Is accepted. not
only the amount Of the fixed charges but
a sum sufficient TO meet the requirements
of the so-called income bonds and also
some return upon the capital stock.
With regard 10 probable earnings the
pIan announced unfortunately gives little
information. The general impression
created by the reports Of the receivers
has been unfavorable. suggesting that a
greater cut in fixed charges than ST.
100000 will he necessary. 1t Is emil
nently desirable that as much water as
possible shall be squeezed out of these
roads in the reorganization that is 10
come, so that they may he put upon
sound basis for the future and their man
agement hereafter may not be under
temptation to starve the roads In order
to meet dividends Into the Third Ave
nue. reorganization the question or the
propriety Of capitalizing future prospects
entered, for the Third Avenue mas
rapidly growing traffic. Capitalizing the
future of the Metropolitan lines Would
he n dubious experiment, for recent re-
ports show that they alone are not re-
ceiving their share in the growth or the
city's traffic. This is only one OF the
many considerations that make their re-
organization extremely difficult.

Republican and will elect sixteen Re-
publicans, North Dakota naming two.
The Republican strength in the Senate
will he reduced by these changes from
80 To u and the Democratic strength
will be increased from 33 to IL.
1t is interesting to note how far the
choice of Senators is still left uncondi-
tionally with legislatures. In Maine,
Massachusetts, Connecticut. Rhode Isl
and. New York Pennsylvania. Della
ware. West Virginia, Tennessee. ONO,
Minnesota. Iowa, Montana. Utah and
Wyoming no restriction has been put
upon the Legislatures action. In Texas,
Missouri Michigan, North Dakota, Wis
consin. Washington and California party
primaries were held TO designate Sen
atorS In New Jersey the sufliciency or
the advisory primary in which Mr.. Mar
tine was nominated Is sharply contested.
In Indiana a Democratic state conven-
tion nominated candidate for the Sen
ate. and in Nebraska and Nevada Sen
ators were voted for at the November
general election. Iowa has primary
law. but no choice could be made by the
Republican electors. since Mr.. Dolliver
died after the legal date for primary.
1t appears. therefore. that in at least
fifteen Of the twenty-six states the older
method Of selecting Senators will be
used. while in eleven-possibly in ten
the legislatures will record a preference
expressed outside their jurisdiction and
for their guidance

BRITISH ELECTORAL RESULTS.

Comment has heen made upon the eX-
traordnary and indeed unique result of
the late general election I'm the United
Kingdom in that it returned new
House of Commons of almost precisely
the same political composition as the old.
Ia the old House the Ministerial coalition
majority was 124. and in the new House
IL is 126-a Ministerial gain Of just one
seat. counting two on a division. Nothing
like that was ever seen before. Moreover,
the number of Liberals was changed fro II
o75 TO 272. that of UniOnists from 213 Ia
172 that of NationalistS from II 10 IG,
ard that of LabOriteS from 40 To- A..
Changes so slight as these as result Of
So animated and vigorous a campaign are
indeed amazing the more 50 when II II
noted that there were changes Of com
uIeXion i'm no fewer than IS constituent
cies. in which the Ministerial coalition
made % and the Unionist opposition
made - gains.
Further analysis of the returns en-
phasizes the same features. In two cleo
tions the Liberals carried exactly the
spme number Of English county seats. 80,
while the Unionists carried 123 IN Jan'l-
ary and IA in December. In the Eng
Iish boroughs the Liberals fell from 90
70 G7. while the I'niOnists rose from a to
70 London gave the Liberals 26 and y
and the Unionists 81 and 81. respectively.
The Iaborites secured II borough seats
i'm each election. while their number In
the counties was II in the first and 1t
i'm the second election. In Scotland
there were even fewer changes The
Laborites gained one from the Liberals.
and that was all In Wales the Union
ISIS gained one. and that was all. In
Ireland there were more changes. but
even there they were inconsiderable, the
most marked being the Independents
loss Of four county seats, which was the
greatest change in any class of seats in
the whole election.
No less interesting is an inspection Of
the popuar vote. II was observed during
the election that there was consider
able decrease, owing to the elections
New-York tribune., 1911-01-03
REPUBLICANS AND THE SENATOR

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II will soon be the duty Of the Re-
publican members OF the Legislature to
present a minority candidate for the Office
of United States Senator from New York.
This is not merely a matter Of form; for
II the Republicans present the name Of a
liChly respected and eminently worthy man
it may prevent the election OF man who
is clearly unworthy of this high honor.
Let the minority nominate one of their
ablest and most respected men, and the
majority will be compelled, under penalty
Of lasting disgrace, to elect A man who Is
not very much his inferior.
OF course this may not be considered
politicellv eypedent by small minded poll
ticians, who wish 10 see the Democratic
partv disgrace itself as much as possible
during the coming two years. in order that
a revulsion Of popular feeling may sweep
1t out OF control I'm 1912. But is 1t not time
that such peanut politics be cast aside
and statesmanlke policies be adopted?
| would suggest that tre name OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt be presented by the minority y
as their candidate for the Office OF SEN
ator. No nan is more worthy OF this
honor and few men could be Of such signal
service 20 the country. He could not be
elected but tine presentation OF his name
should lead the majority to bring forward
their noblest and best. l. S.

COMPETITION IN SUBWAYS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS the one negative voice referred
TO in a newspaper report OF the meeting Of
the North Side Board Of Trade at which
the Intertorough proposition was approved,
may l. through your columns. say that I
believe this proposition is submitted at
this time for the purpose Of disintegrating
the solidity of public sentiment In favor of
the trborough subway which existed prior
to its submission?
on February II. 1907, just as the Rapid
Transit Board was about 10 approve a
form OF contract for the Lexington avenue
subway and order it advertised the Inter
borough objected and proposed a long list
OF changes which IT demanded. and while
bids for the Lexington avenue route were
being advertised for the Interborough Of
fered to build the WestcheSter and Jerome
avenue extensions. proyi' IL got the third
track privilege. Subsidized citizens met
and denounced the extravaganza. imprac-
ticability and uninvting character OF the
Rapid Transit Boards plans, just as has
been done concerning the Public Service
Commissions plans, and a bill was intro
duced AT Albany. known as the SAKE BILL
ITOpoSllS 10 tAltUu lle time OF ADVERTISING
for subway bids from three weeks TO three
months.
This history OF transit delay is repeating
itself now. The triborough subway IS com
plete In Itself, and would carry the people
OF The Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn TO
and from business for a single fare. II the
city builds it the Interborough will logically
he comp elled TO build the extensions IL has
asked for with its own funds
ON May IL, 1907. The Tribune said edto-
rally: There could be no difficulty In
finding company ready To operate the
proposed three borough subway. as it would
do an enormous business. running in the
most congested part OF the city. II such
subway were built 10y the city and its OPP
Grafton let to a company independent OF the
Interborough II might become the basis for
competition In future bidding for subways.
and the recent refusal OF the Interborough
to bid proves competition to be highly de-
sirable."
| do not believe that this city will ever
get anything like decent transit facilities
until there Is competitive parallel line.
To turn over its most vital necessity TO
monopoly whose msmanagement is the
shame OF this city would be TO sacrifice the
progress OF years. which was about to cul-
inmate In competition.
