NOT SHOULDER TO SHOULDER.

At the artistically staged meeting In
Lincoln, Neb., between Governor Will
son and Mr.. Bryan, full Of fraternal
hand clasps and David and Jonathan
emotionalism, the present Democratic
Presidential nominee protested a keen
desire to lift his leadership to the
level of the leadership Of the Demo
cratic nominee Of 1896, 1900 and 1908.
While he was seeking the nomination
Governor Wilson defined his attitude
toward Organism by saying that the
Nebraskan had long been 1.-THE one fixed
point in the Democracy. AT Lincoln
he reinforced his confession Of obliga-
ton and loyalty by saying:
Mr.. Bryan, with the tact which
ought TO characterize a great leader
did not attempt TO dictate what the
choice of the convention should be,
but he did attempt, and he splendidly
succeeded. In preventing the control OF
that convention by those interests
which are inimical TO the people. IL
], as a result Of the freedom OF that
convention. was the choice of the con-
vention, my responsibility Is all the
greater to live UP to the standard
TO which Mr.. Bryan brought that body
Of representative Democrats. am
proud to stand shoulder to shoulder
with him.
Governor Wilson stands proudly
shoulder to shoulder" with Mr.. Bryan
while soliciting votes out West. But he
failed to stand shoulder to shoulder"
with him when the opportunity came
to extinguish Murphyism in this state,
Just as Mr.. Bryan had extinguished it
in the Baltimore convention. The
Nebraska leader in "The Commoner"
demanded the ousting of Murphy from
control here and the nomination Of a
state ticket free from the faint OF
Tammany associations. But the disci-
pie would not follow the preceptor
into field where duty confiicted with
interest. He weakly acquiesced in the
continued domination Of the Murphy
machine and the selection of state
ticket thoroughly subservlent to the
Wigwam.
Murphyism might have been killed
in this state IL Governor Wilson had
realized before he got to Lincoln the
necessity OF standing shoulder to
shoulder with Mr.. Bryan.

TO SAVE CHILDREN's LIVES
Railing on Riverside Park Retaining
Wall Suggested.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. In view OF the peculiar death OF
Anna McCabe. the little girl who fell
from the retaining wall in RIVERSIDE
Park last Sunday. one cannot refrain
from speaking word OF protest Trivial
as the incident may seem In the daily
life Of our great city, 1t nevertheless
points to a certain neglect OF the protec-
ton OF a few places where the young OF
the city gather to make the best OF an
outdoor recreation spot.
on Sundays hundreds Of children swarm
on the grassy slopes OF Riverside Park
to indulge In play. At the spot where TINS
little girl was killed there is q retaining
wall on the east side OF the New York
Central tracks. AS the children play with
carefree abandon they forget the treach-
erous place. or go as near Its brink as
childish love OF adventure prompts them.
So small q thing as railing or fence
erected at this point would serve as a
warning and protection to many little
lives. FRITZ Il. OSfERlAAMF'

TAMMANY AND THE STATE.

Mr. Hedges cannot repeat too often
his pledge to hold the head Of the New
York Police Department responsible
for conditions of law enforcement II
he is elected Governor. With open
assassination of witnesses for the state
by the police-protected criminals going
on in this city, Murphy's convention
did rash and impudent thing In NOM
mating a Tammany man for Governor.
The upstate voter has had his first ex-
perience Of Tammanyism with Murphy
dominating the Legislature, the Gov
ernor and the various state depart
ments, and with the machine diverting
the highway funds from the farming
communities to serve various favored
interests In addition to these Tam
many scandals In the state admins
tration came the shocking revelation
that the old Tammany system OF police
protected vice and crime had been de-
veloped so far that all attempt was
made 10 protect open assassination ID
the city's streets. And in the face or
all this the Tammanyized Democratic
party, intoxicated by the prospect of a
divided opposition, put up Tammany
man for Governor.
It Is useless to say that Mr.. Sulzer Is
not responsible for the police evils in
this town. lie is part Of the system
that has fastened the protection OF
criminals upon the city. The gamblers
and their hired gangs Of gunner enjoy
the favor Of leading members of the or
ganizatiOn which Mr.. Sulzer has served
from his youth up. He upholds the
Tammany system and expects, If elect
ed Governor, to work with the Tam
many boss In support Of the Tammany
system, which rests upon graft and the
sale of the privilege to violate the law
to the vicious and criminal for money
and for political services.
Mr.. Hedges ought to get tremendous
response to his anti-Tammany cam
paign upstate, where the voters have
greater reasons to hate and fear Tam
many this year than ever before. With
the Republican party united a Tam
many candidate for Governor would re-
ceive a memorable beating this year. A
man bearing the Tammsny stamp, as
Mr.. Sulzer does, ought to be easier to
defeat than even Governor Dix him
self would have been. And If the state
above The Bronx is properly reused to
the danger of having a straight-out
Tammany man for Governor 1t should
be possible to defeat Murphy's ticket
IN spite Of the fact that the opposition
is divided. Mr.. Straus will cut deeply
into the Democratic vote in this city,
especially in the Tammany strongholds
on the East Side, and the Democratic
vote above The Bronx ought, with a
Tammany candidate, to be the smallest
on record.

THE TERMINAL PROJECT
Jefferson M. Levy Protests Against
City Going Into II.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I hope you will call attention TO
the meeting to be held by the Board OF
Estimate tomorrow. Thursday. October
10, at 1890 a m, at which the proposed
purchase OF the Bush Terminal will come
up. so that the board will realize how
general the opposition is to this project
and to their policy Of expenditure gener-
ally. AS everybody knows, times have
not been prosperous for the last four or
Ave years Nevertheless, burden upon
burden has been placed upon the unfortu-
nate taxpayers Of this city. We are so
near the debt limit that every time we
want to make an expenditure we have to
add up the account so as to see whether
we have any balance left. No thought Is
given 10 the contingencies Of the future.
This city ought not to go into the termi-
nal business. 1t ought not to go into the
warehouse business. II ought not to go
into the railroad business. II certainly
ought not to buy out a terminal business
and then lease the property back TO the
sellers. II the property is so valuable,
why don't they keep It and reap the
profits? II Il Is a good investment, why
do they want the city TO buy II? These
are pertinent questions. II the board feels
that this terminal is Indispensable to the
city at a time when the city is sadly In
need OF necessary improvements. then let
me. In ell seriousness. suggest that they
finish the agony for the taxpayers and
buy the Grand Central Depot. the Penn
sHvania Terminal, the Hippodrome, some
OF the department stores and few high
priced hotels.
Let me remind them Of something else
something they ought TO know very
well. These gr1evous burdens are not
borne by taxpayers alone. They fall on
every rentpayer in the city. and II they
do not know how general the complaint
is. they have only themselves to blame.
The time is not far distant when they and
future city officials will feel II. IL New
York City real estate is TO remain the
premier security OF the world. there must
be a halt TO these wild schemes. Very
truly yours, JEFFERSON d. LEV l.

'4rH1NKrNGv ABOUT SAFETY.

Mr.. McChord, Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. expressed the public
feeling when he asked the vice-presi-
dent OF the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad when his road was
going to do something besides confer
10 prevent accidents. After the SINH
lar accident last year the Connecticut
commission recommended that trains
he brought to a full stop before short
crossoyers we're opened to them. 1t
was admitted that had this suggestion
been adopted the Westport accident
xyould not have occurred, though some
tother accident might" have resulted
from the trains continuing on the
track on which it had been running
before it reached the crossover. The
best thought" Of the officials OF the
road was being given to this subject
of preventing accidents at crossovers.
The road has done nothing with au-
tomato devices for stopping trains
which run by signals. Other railroads
are experimenting with these devices.
The refusal to test them on the ground
that they are alleged not to be perfect
lis absurd. Is there anything perfect
in the operation OF railroads?
Is the system on which the New Ha-
ven road pins its faith for preventing
repetitions of these two slaughters,
namely, instilling "profounder re-
spect for orders" likely to be perfect?
Nothing has been brought out at the in-
quIry TO show that any effective steps
are being taken to enforce the orders
which are necessary for the safety OF
passengers. An improved speed indl-
Gator is in use on one road, which
enables officials to know at what speed
engines have been driven. 1t Is not

DEMOCRATIC HARD TIMES.
The following request has been re-
ceived from Long Island subscriber

The following request has been re-
ceived from Long Island subscriber:
I wish you would kindly publish In
YOUR paper, which l read every day req
ularly. the cause Of the hard times we
had during Grover Cleveland's second
term as President and which was the
responsible party for the free trade
issues. One of my friends says tne
Senate and House were responsible
which were Republican.
Democratic authorities have always
tried to put the blame for the nara
times which set in Just after Mr.. Cleve-
land was inaugurated President for the
second time on the agitation for the
free coinage of silver. That agitation
had been gathering force since the pas
sage of the Bland-Allison silver coin
age bill. which required the government
TO coin 100000 In silver every month.
The strength of the free silver adyo-
Gates in Congress was greatest about
the middle of President Harrison's
term. Then a reaction began to set IN
against the free coinage deluslon-
though It revived and eliminated In
1s96-and the denomination OF Presi-
dent Harrison by the Republicans and
of Mr.. Cleveland by the Democrats In
1892 proved that neither party was
willing at that time TO go any further
In making concessions TO the silver In
dationists.
The last two years Of the Harrison
administration were on the whole years
OF prosperity, but after Mr.. Clevelands
election in November, 1892, business
confidence declined rapidly, and when
the new administration began the coun-
try was on the verge Of panic. That
that panic was not caused by fear OF
the silver heresy is indicated by the
fact that Congress at the extra session
of 1893 repealed the Sherman silver
purchase act and stopped the coinage
of silver. But depression became even
more acute after the ghost OF fiat
silver money had been laid, and 1t con-
tinued through the next four yeara IL
silver had been to blame the trouble
should have been overcome by the
prompt stoppage Of silver purchases.
Mr.. Cleveland and Congress Demo
cratic in both branches came into
power on a pledge to destroy protec-
ton. and II was the threat of such de-
struction. partly carried out In the Will
son-Gorman act OF 1894, which really
kept the country nervous and appre-
hensive, halted business and industry
and led to the general opening Of soup
houses. Democratic recklessness In up
setting the basis on which American
production rested was the chief factor
In the hard times of 1S93l97, which
lasted until the anti-protectionist VIII
SON. German tariff act mad been re-
placed by the protective Dingley act
few months after President McKinley's
inauguration.
II the country is willing to put in
the White House a natural free trader
like Governor Wilson and TO give him
the support OF a Democratic House of
Representatives and a Democratic Sen
ate 1t may have to face hard times
again in 1913. History repeats itself
In cycles, and depression and non-em-
ployment under Wilson would be likely
to follow from exactly the same causes
which brought about the panic of the
second Cleveland administration.

WATER AND CUPS ON TRAINS.

lTdVeilefS on New jersey rallrOads
will be grateful for the decree Of the
Supreme Court of that state upholding
the decision Of the Public Utilities
Commission to the effect that wherever
tanks or fountains of drinking water
are provided there must also be pro-
yided free drinking cups This is the
outcome, and we may hope that IL win
prove to be the ending, Of the contro-
versy which has ragged ever since the
law of 1911 forbade the use Of COM
mon cups at drinking places and re-
quired the provision of separate indi-
vidual cups. The railroads at once re-
fused to supply individual cups unless
they were paid for. Some declined to
provide any, even for pay, so that no.
body could get a drink on a train
unless he had cup Of his own. Others
equipped their cars with slot machines
from which paper cups could be OBJ
tanned for cent apiece. Under these
circumstances there was little drinking
in the cars, 80 that presently supplies
Of water were omitted altogether, to the
distress of many passengers, especially
In hot weather and Oh dusty roads.
The court reasonably holds that IL
water be supplied IN tanks or fountains,
but no cups, the adequate and proper
service" prescribed by law is not given.
Apparently a railroad would have the
right at present to refuse to supply
water at all, but IL is doubtful IL any
would care to incur the odium which
such a policy would certainly provoke
On suburban trains having short runs
no water is supplied. II Is true, any
more than on trolley cars. But on
trains making long runs there is de-
mand for water which is certainly rea-
sOnable, and which Is likely to show
itself so strong that II 1t Is not volun-
tarily granted 1t will be enforced by leg
islation. The roads must supply water.
and they must provide cups. Accord
ing to the decision cited, however, il
may not be necessary to provide sep
arate cup for each passenger who
wishes to drink. A common cup will
do If 1t is kept in a sanitary condition
How this can be done Is a problem for
which a solution can doubtless be
