MAYOR AND MOTORNAN

Our faith In walking as q solution OF
the rapid transit and all other problems
is shaken by the letter Of Mayor Gay
nor telling of the dreadful insult 70 the
Office Of chief magistrate Of this city
perpetrated by Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit motorman who failed 10 stop Flat
bush avenue car when the aforesaid
chief magistrate Of the city signalled TO
him TO stop it. The incident naturally
aroused much Indignation in the breasts
Of those who witnessed il and recognized
the high official. but why should II have
disturbed the calm that always pervades
that officials breast? Why didn't he
follow his own advice? How many
times have citizens written 10 him com
planning that cars were too cold, or too
crowded or wouldn't stop? And has he
not always replied: Walk. and You
won't mind the cold" or. walk: the
sidewalks are never 50 crowded as the
ears" or. walk: il will improve YOU
temper"
Did the Mayor walk for any Of these
excellent reasons? Not at all. When
the delinquent motorman. in response
TO the indignant protests Of the pas
sergers. brought his car 10 a stop few
rods further on. the Mayor declined n
walk even that distance but. maintain
Ing an awful dignity such as befitted
the high Office thus grossly inSulted.
waited for the next car and boarded IT,
nursing his wounded pride and feeling
that he had been victim Of con
spiracy extending from the president Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
down 10 its humble motorman. who Gin
tentionally" speeded ny tust ne the
Mayor NJ tho imperial city NJ New York
had one foot in the air prepared 70
board his vehicle Having reached the
City Hall. the Mayor in due course
writes letter. not 10 complain" bur
merely to say that the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit has treated the people like cat

has been con the verge Of bankruptcy"
has not "a modern car" has fiat wheels
and rickety machinery" and is. al told.

II would he an odd result If the award
of the subway contracts should hang
upon n motorman's failure to stop n car

rate Of increase was relatively small.

had steady growth. One hundred
years ago Ireland's population was jrst
three times as large as Scotland's. In
1S41 II was even more than three times
rs large. but Ireland's heavy losses by
emigration after 1915. coupled with Scot
lands normal gains. speedily reduced the
disparity. in 1901 Scotland finally drew
ahead. having 4.472. 1O3 inhabitants TO
Ireland's 4.45s.775. Now Scotland has
4,759445 and Ireland 4,3s1,e51.
The Scotch birth rate has been much
higher than the Irish In recent years.
The deaths I'm the two countries have
been about the same-nearlv 10000 8
year-but the births in Scotland have
averaged about 49, 800. against about
1O1,5oO In Ireland. Immigration has
also been unequal Ireland losing every
year on the average about 1900 more
inhabitants than Scotland has lost The
Irish outflow is now diminishing. but il is

elected BY large majortttes. But In the
general election Of January. 1910, his
majority was reduced to only ~, anu
he apparently realized that sometnihs
must he done to restore his impaired
political popularity. He therefore De
eided TO celebrate the twenty-hfth ami
yersary of his first election in a generous
not 10 say lavish. manner. Among otner
things he made gifts Of coal to the poor
and Of boxes Of candy to the children
There was no attempt to purchase votes
with these gifts or to pledge the rec1pi-
ents to the support Of the giver. the
Idea appeared to be simply that through
the doing Of undoubted and greatly
needed good Sir Henry would pe
recommended to public favor. The sequel
whether the result or not-was his re-
election in December last by the majority
oil POI.
Not the least significant thing about
the case is that the member who resorted
TO these practices has been unseated, not
BY a partisan majority Of the House or
Commons. nor indeed, by the House at
ali, but by the ordinary law courts ID
which political considerations are is-
nored and the law is impartially admin
istered. On that account the Judgment
is accepted by all parties as just, and It
therefore has far greater weight than It
would have If II had been given by
hostile partisan majority in the House
The law is unquestionably strict, but It
is approved by public sentiment, and In
cldents like that which we have recorded
appear to confirm It in popular favor.

THE GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You say we'll that the adoption OF
Oklahoma's grandfather" clause is 'dif-
ferent in character from the abandonment
OF Guthrie" The grandfather clause Is
surely unconstitutional I'm the most glaring
sense not merely because conflicting with
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments
hut even more vitality because In fragrant
violation Of the constitutional guarantee OF
a republican form Of government. Entirely
apart from the race question, the attempt
TO make the right of suffrage depend. In
even the tiniest degree, on the status or
an ancestor. rather than on the Guali1ca-
tons o, the individual himself, gives the
lie 10 the first principles OF a republican
government The crime against democracy
is so gross and objectionable that no hon
orable American, however infamed by the
unworthy passion Of race prejudice, should
he able to find the slightest palliation for
H. In view OF the plain letter OF the
Constitution. It is the manifest duty os.the
federal government TO insist that no state
be suffered 10 perpetuate so monstrous an
outrage on the foundation principles of the
country. JAMES +. MORTON, JR.

REGULATING CORPORATIONS.

Advocacy Of governmental regulation
of corporations engaged In interstate
trade. even extending to the prices OF
the commodities sold by them, Will cause
less of a surprise coming from Judge
| Gary. Of the United States Steel Cor
lporation. than from any other corporation
head in the country. Judge Gary has
always looked kindly upon regulation
and has more than once praised the ef-
| forts Of recent administrations to pre-
vent abuses in the business world. But
the recent decisions Of the Supreme
Court against the Standard Oil Com
many and the Tobacco Trust will I'M
ouestionably incline the great business
interests TO look toward federal regua-
ton, at least some degree Of 1t, as a
means Of escape from present uncer-
tainties.
For the present there will be a dis
position TO wait until the disintegration
and reorganization Of the two condemned
combinations have been effected. In the
case of the Tobacco Trust this process
will go on under the eye Of the court
and will he full of illumination for the
business world. When It has been COM
pleted the great corporations that have
been built up in ways analogous to those
/ followed By the Tobacco Trust will know
exactly where they stand. And If the
result shows that doing business under
centralized control is beset with legal
difficulties. if not virtually impossible.
doubtless great pressure will he exerted
on Congress ny the business interests to
pass a federal incorporation bill along
the lines Of the hill recommended by
President Taft
