ONE OBSTACLE DISAPPEARS.

Justice Ford's common sense refusal
to enIoin the digging Of the subway re
moves one of the most important threat
cpcd obstacles TO the speedy creation OF
new rapid transit facilities. The argu-
ments upon which the injunction was
sought were technical, but the justice.
taking n broad view of the situation,
brushes them all aside. In an extremely
sensible way he declines TO consider now
the cOnstitutlonality Of an operating
contract that the city will not enter
into. II at all. for some time to come.
When the terms are actually about TO
be agreed 10 it will be time enough for
the courts TO take up the so-called
guarantee" to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. That this will be
found no more serious an obstacle TO the
carrying ont of the plans than the OBJ
jections raised are to the construction
contracts seems reasonably certain.
The sum which it is proposed TO al
low to the Brooklyn company for turn
ing over its existing elevated lines and
making them part of the new rapid
transit system is not in the nature of
Il guarantee. That is IL valuable prop
erty. which has large earnings at pres
ent and is certain TO have still larger
earnings by the time It becomes Part
of the new system. What are its own
ers TO receive for its use? They surely
are entitled 10 some rental, and the pro-
posed rental, for that is what it
amounts TO- IS not excessive. being less
than the amount that the lines in ques-
ton will be earning, and it is not in
any way guaranteed. The arrangement
is obviously so reasonable and proper
that it is difficult to believe any con-
sttutional objection TO il will be found,
once it is presented in a proper light TO
the courts.
For the present, ut any rate, the only
obstacle TO the provision of adequate
rapid transit facilities is the Mayor.
How long he win occupy his obstructive
position IL Is impossible 10 say, but If
the city has not a subway system which
il is practicable 10 operate when The
present digging is done It will be be-
cause the Mayor has refused 10 give
his approval TO needful links in 1t. He
still talks of the desirability Of building
additions to the present subway. Bur
would he have the city wait forever be-
fore building new facilities, or would

FOR THE WASTE BASKET.

ONLY the beneficiaries of the proposed
charter for this city will quarrel with
the recommendation of the Chamber OF
Commerce that 1t be thrown into the
waste basket. Section by section us
faults and dement's have been exposed
from day to day. Hardly an individual
has come forward to defend the strlK-
Ing changes proposed in the city's gov
ernment. Even Mayor Gaynor, wnile
trying to place the vicious instrument
In a favorable light, kept silent on many
of its important points, and ended 10y
saving he hadn't read 1t in It's latest
edition.
Attacks on the charters critics as
"highbrows" or partisan politicians fall
far short Of defending the document IT.
self or justifying its contents. Even
such assaults must crumble before the
pos:tion taken by the Chamber Of Com
merce. That organization is not a par
tlsan political organization. 1t does not
reflect the opinion Of any small coterle
or clique Of citizens. 1t could hardly
he termed "highbrow." as that express
sion is understood by the practical
politician" 1t is. we believe, express
ing the desire of a great majority OF
the citizens of the metropolis In urging
7 the Legislature to discard this charter
draft and let a legislative committee,
assisted by private citizens OF repute
take I'D the task Of charter-maklng
The legislature would not lack prece-
dents in such a course. Three proposed
charters have been thrown away re-
cently-the draft known as the Wins
charter that prepared by the Hammond
commission and subsequent draft pro-
duced by a legislative committee ap-
pointed to revise the Hammond draft.
No urgent necessity exists for the
enactment into law Of a new charter
this year. and there is a very good argu-
ment against such action in the fact that
the people in electing the present city
officers expected them to fill their terms
and carry on the work allotted to them
under the existing charter. To be sure,
Murphy and his friends are not certain
Of a Democratic Legislature next year
which would be subservient enough to
pass the kind Of charter they want.
That I'm itself is reason enough for IN
sisting on delay. into the waste basket
with this charter. and let the next one
be free from vicious political ripper pro-
visions and sections which would facil-
itate treasury looting by crooked Off
clals and crooked contractors!

Sir. In the stir-up in the South caused

resentatives of the Underwood cotton sched-

note that the editor Of THE Morning News
of Savannah predicts "the cotton tariff
bill will tend 20 build up white Republican

tons"
As | doubt the truth Of this prophecy
would like to ask how sucn party Is to be
formed unless the Republicans OF the South
should repudiate the fundamental principles
of this party. should repudiate all that they
have said in opposition to the policy of
Southern leaders TO sustain at II hazards
a representation not in accordance with the
Fourteenth Amendment of our Constitution
and should practically out their stamp or
approval upon the grandfather clause" and
other cunning and sinister franchise pro-
visions.
AS a Republican for half century,

chises, as it does in the South, ignorant,
shiftless and vicious negroes while assuring
the franchise to the most worthless white
trash" that can prove to have had voting

editor says:

Of study TO make a man humble and re-
ceptive of authority. Perhaps. too. Ameri-

is actually less personal liberty in the

China and they are taking an unwise mode
of protesting against official interference
