The North American Civic League for
Immigrants which has done much 10
bptter these conditions in the last two
wears. has devised promising plan. 1t
has brought together representatives OF
the trunk line railroads and the big
steamship companies In a committee
which is considering the organization OF
a bureau to care for the immigrants and
guard them from the sharks. II would
not be q charity. 1t would be modelled
on a bureau maintained for two years
by the Civic League for Immigrants
which has become a source or aciua'
profit. This bureau of the railroads ana
steamships would ascertain whether III
migrants expected TO be met by friends
or relatives on landing. IL they did not
the bureau would provide lodgings u
desired. or see that the bcwildered for
eigners reached their proper railroad
stations, obtained the correct amount OF
American money for their foreign com
and were not overcharged for their bag
gage and transportation. Guides and
Interpreters would he on duty, for hire
at reasonable charges.
In work Of this kind the railroads and
steamship companies would have great
advantage over any private agency.
They could reach more immigrants who
needed assistance through their bureau
than could any of the organizations now
active along this line. The work falls
within their field. II Is just as much for
the convenience Of their passengers as
cab lines. which some Of the railroads
maintain. The plan offers a reasonable
and practical means Of doing away with
u great deal Of miserable annoyance and
petty larceny TO which the steerage i'm
migrant is now exposed. II ought to he
put into operation promptly.

AFTER THE CONVENTION.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir Mr.. Roosevelt may be nominated
but. II so. defeat awaits him. How could
II be otherwise without the aid of Presi-
dent Tafts supporters? 1t is In normal
human nature to be intolerant of foul
play. and the friends of the President
think Mr.. Roosevelt has shown himself "A
false friend. II is not belevable that Mr.
Roosevelt can be- elected when many Re-
publicans, namely. those who are UNI
changeably opposed to third term. and a
large proportion. If not all. of President
Tafts indignant friends, are against him.
In such unfavorable conditions his defeat
seems certain.
Mr.. Roosevelts inconsistency in his
treatment Of his friend President Taft
and in seeking denomination show that
he has temporarily lost his head The
cause seems due to the aduation he re-
ceived abroad he was treated like u king
and he has been made to believe II Is
necessary for this country that he shall be
placed at the head Of affairs. IL he should
be elected for "A third term. what then?
When Il great man has shown that he can
lose his head by fiattery and forget pledges
and friendship, nothing could prevent his
having his head turned again when as

FISH,.

Inc suggestion that this city should
live on fish for a week instead of on
flesh or fowl has something TO commend
IT, at least to those TO whom fish diet
is not repellent, and if put into effect
II might possibly do something toward
aoating the evil Of high prices. 1t would
at least contribute, If only by setting
people to thinking and talking of IT.
toward the development here of a
coplous and economical food supply from
the resources of the sea. On the face
OF the case this city should always have
cheap fish, though it seldom does. The
coast fisheries have been abused, but
are stu enormously productive. 1t
would be possible to keep the markets
or this city supplied with fresh fish at
price within the reach of almost every
body. Yet prices have long ranged so
nigh as TO make fish luxury, and in
order to keep them high many cargoes
OF excellent food fish. after being
brought to port, have been taken out

TUE IMMUNITY or GANGS.

Big Jack" Zelg. who is dying from

USE or OCEAN PARKWAY.

There is ground for congratulatinc
antomobilists upon the long delayed
granting OF their demand for the open
ing to them, on equal terms with other
vehicles, Of the entire extent Of the
Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. There is
also reason for hoping that this action
VIII he accompanied or promptly fol
lowed by a radical correction Of the
misuse 10 which the parkway has been
subjected. II was because Of that mis-
use, and Of Il selfish desire 10 restrict IT'S
practice TO a certain class. that automo.
bilists were so long denied the legitimate
use Of the road. Their use of it would
have interfered with other mems misuse
Of it,
That parkway was created as a pleas-
ure drive for the whole public, and was
for years thus used. II was and * ~
part Of the park system of the city and
logically belongs 10 all the people ON
equal terms. But years ago park official
thought it advisable to set aside mile
or so OF the central portion of the drive
90 A"NNIioNh' IuuI WIS zone, ana par
ticularly on Sundays that portion Of the
parkway was practically monopolizcd by
professional horsemen, driving in rcgI-
larry arranged races. Other traffic. mar
tlcularly family carriages, was warned
off by the police and automobiles were
strictly excluded, and all these had 70
seek other roads, narrow ill-payed and
unattractive, in order that the racetracl,
crowd might have n MONOPOLY of the
peoples parkway.
Now. as we have said we can syrnns.

tests against this invidious discrimjpa-
tlon and rejoice with them over its abo.
lltlon. They have az good a right TO tbe
parkway as the hOrsemen, and they have
as good right TO use It as racecourse.
though, In fact, neither Automobiles nor
iorselnen have any real right thus TO use
IT, what should be done is to omen the
parkway freely to automobiles and close
1t strictly against racing Of any kind
linen u could be enjoyed again by the
general public, as It was thirty wears

MARTIAL LAW ~ CUB I.

IN requesting the Cuban Congress to
authorize the suspension of the constl-
tuition and the proclamation of martial
law in Orientc Province President
Gomez has acted lcCitimately. Such n
course is not unprecedented nor even
unusual under such circumstances. II
will not escape attention, however, that
in this action President Gomez, inferen-
TALLY. If not directly, gives an unfavor
able account Of the condition of affairs
in Cuba. The revolutionary movement
having gained such Roadway that II
cannot be suppressed by ordinary means
he requests permission 10 employ those
extraordinary means which are reserved
for emergencies involving the issues Of
life and death This Is an admission at
least as grave as any of the reports
which have been published concerning
the state Of the eastern provinces. and
it amply juStifics the steps which have
been taken by this country to provide
for any possible emergency. Indeed. the
ordering yesterday Of four battlcShips
w IildN pt IfSdiUfh as
legitimate sequel 10 the Cuban Prcsi-
dents action
President Gomez himself practically
comedies as much. It IS necessary to
crush the rebellion promptly, he says. In
order to avoid the danger Of foreign
complications. That can mean nothing
else than that continuation and agra
walton of present conditions would In
volve danger Of foreign complications in
the form either Of demands by foreign
countries for indemnity for injuries
which the Cuban government had failed
to prevent or Of Intervention by the
United States for the purpose OF doing
the work which the Cuban government
was Itself unable TO do.
Either OF these complications would be
regarded with profound distaste and re-
greet by the United States. For that
reason this country Will look upon the
temporary establishment of martial
law not indeed, with pleasure. but with
degree of relief and with a sincere
hope that the speedy result may be n
return 10 normal conditions.

THE COMMISSIONS OPPORTUNITY.

Men Of high standing in the com
munity make up the investigating COM
mittee which the Merchants Associa-
ton, moved by The Tribune's exposure
Of the extOrtionate character of the
recent advance in coal prices, has APP
pointed. Their own business standing
and the reputation Of the association
which they represent insure thorough
inquiry. But 1t ought not to be neces-
sary for civic association to do this
work. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission was appointed for the purpose Of
protecting the public from overcharges
by railroads, and the overcharges in the
case of coal are peculiarly obnoxious
because they are used as means for
creating complete monopoly over a
necessary Of life and thus squeezing
excessive profits out Of the public.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has been face to face with the monopoly
thus created and with the rates that
have fostered II in more than one case
IT has alluded more than once TO the
grip the railroads have secured on the
coal produced by independents and to
the enormous profits that they have OBJ
tanned from transporting coal. And 1t
has rendered several verdicts against
them on account Of the discrimination
which they have practised in order to
make the monopoly complete In the
face of what has just been done TO ex-
tort millions from the pockets of con.
sumers the commission ought not to
wait as 1t did In the case Of the extor-
tomato express rates, until some civic
body investigates and calls for action.

"POLITICAL BRIGANDAGE.

The Ohio situation is an example Of
the baseless cutlery which the Roosevelt
supporters have pretty regularly made
when the Taft forces have gained Il vic

large in Ohio is emphatically denounced
as political brigandage." Yet these
delegates were elected according to law
When it adopted the direct primary
system Ohio did not make it apply to
delegates-at-larg nor to delegates TO
the state convention, which was to Sc
lect the delegates-at-large. 1t retained
the state convention, just as this state
has retained that part Of the convention
system. 1t did so deliberately, doubt
less because it saw certain merits in the
convention system that it desired TO
preserve.
If Ohio had wanted to prevent such
result as that in the convention Just
held 1t might have adopted Presiden-
tial preference primary and bound the
delegates-at-large to vote in accordance
with the preference there and then ex-
pressed. Or it might have directed that
the delegates-at-large should support the
candidate receiving a plurality Of the
vote cast at the district primaries Since
it did neither Of these things, It is to he
presumed that it intended to have the
delegates chosen in the way in
which they actually were chosen
Moreover. the dispatches from Ohio
do not show that the state Is dissatisfied
