STATEMENT OF
TROLLEY HEAD
]. C. T. Vice President Refers
to Criticism.

For the first time since the Key
port carnival Vice President Brown,
of the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany, and who Is also its general
spoke yesterday upon the
service his company gave on its troll
ley road to and from Keyport on the
days of the Keyport festivities. He
expressed himself as being satisfied
that his company did the very best 1t
could under the circumstances. He
declares it was obliged to handle
about ten times the number of peo-
pie 1t usually does and forced double
the number of cars generally used
into service.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Brown
said he had no statement to make
regarding the recent publication OF
an article attacking his company and
criticising the service it rendered on
the days of the Keyport carnival.
When asked if he had read the artt-
Gle in question, he replied in the
affirmative. When asked If he had
a statement to make he replied:
There certainly was a crowd at
Keyport the day Of the carnival and
as our road is a single track n we
naturally met many difficulties in
handling the people. Considerable
delay was occasiOned by the fact that
we could not run our cars through
Keyport for about three hours on
account of the crowd. This made it
necessary for us to hold our cars at
each end Of the town a sufficient
length of time to enable our through
passenger to walk from one car to
the other. Further delay was occa-
stoned by one of our cars in Perth
Amboy running over the point of a
switch and derailing the car"
1t m~st annoy you considerably to
have an article of this kind written
about your property, put IN the
NEWS representative.
"No, not at all. If the patrons of
our road were to come to us with a
grievance of this kind it would mar
urally be humiliating. We would re-
greet that any traveller on our road
had been Inconvenience and would
certainly do our best in the future to
remedy any defect in Il service, but
as many of our patrons have ex-
pressed their satisfaction at the man
ner in which We handled the crowd,
article of this kind naturally does
not carry the amount of weight that
would had we been guilty of what
have been accused of. A trolley
is only a form of machinery. If
10 were called upon to print ten
lines the number of papers in a
time that you ordinarily do
would most likely encounter
difficulties. We had in opera
ion double the number of cars that
We regularly run and carried about
times the number of people We
do. Our first object is the
afety of our passengers and it is

And your rooms are stuffy and your
table is rotten?'
you're right
Then YOU admit you lied about the
place.
"'Oh, is that what you've been try
ing to get at? Why didn't you say so
in the first place? Sure I lied. I'd
have admitted that half an hour ago,
if you'd mentioned it. and saved you a
lot of talk. I'm the biggest liar in
these parts. Your bill for the three
days will be $lO.75. Come again next

Honesty and Dishonesty.

The plain speech of President Taft
in refusing to pardon Charles w.
Morse and John r. Walsh comes as
refreshing rebuke to those going
citizens who eagerly petitioned for
their relief. For the sake OF their
general application we are glad to set
down at length the presidents wise
and Just words upon the character of
the crimes committed and their rela-
tions to society. This passage relates
specifically to Walsh, but 1t applies
with equal force to Morse, as Mr.. Taft
/ later makes plain:
MANY influential and prominent
persons have petitioned for his par
don. They do not fully appreciate, II
seems to me, the high Importance to
society that such. criminal breaches of
trust as this be severely punished.
Such breaches sometimes escape pun
ishment, because the misuse Of funds
results successfully. In such cases
the dishonest or reckless bank officer
takes the profit, and the bank Is made
whole, and no one the wiser. Then
the officer comes to regard himself as
shrewd manipulation, within legiti-
mate business lines.
"The truth Is, that in the mad rush
for wealth in the last few decades the
lines between profit from legitimate
business and improper gain from un-
due use Of trust control over other
peoples property and money have
sometimes been dimmed, and the In
terest of society requires that when
ever opportunity offers those charged
with the enforcement of the law
should emphasize the distinction be-
tween honest business and dishonest
breaches of trust"
This clear and forceful answer to
wilful blindness and distorted senti-
ment Is not one Of the least of the
presidents services to the country
New York Sun.
