TICKETS TO TERMINALS.

New Jersey commuters have gained
a material point in the decision Of Mr..
Justice 1'renchard, Of the Supreme
Court Of that state, to the effect that
railroads must sell commutation tickets
to their actual terminals. to wit, TO
Jersey City, Hobolen and Camden, and
not simply to New York and Philadel-
phia. At present the roads refuse 70
sell tickets to Jersey City and Hoboken,
even to persons who wish TO 90 10
further than to those cities, but com
pei all to accept tickets 10 New York.
Thus they are able to maintain that
the traffic Is interstate and is therefore
not subject to the authority Of the
state Public Utilities Commission, but
only to that Of the federal Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The decision will probably be ap-
pealed to the court Of last resort. If
it is sustained it will mean that the
reasonableness Of Communication rates on
all the suburban roads will be subject
to revision and regulation by the state
authorities. That will be logical and
reasonable, seeing that for large pro-
portion Of the passengers Jersey City
and Hob0ken are the actual terminals
Of their trips on the railroads. Many
remain in those cities and do not cross
the river at all, while a much larger
number ignore the ferry service which
is provided by the railroads and cross
to New York through the tubes at their
own additional expense. In both Of
those cases 1t would seem to be only
fair that there should be at least a
slight difference I'm cost between tickets
TO Hoboken and tickets TO New York.

GRAND JURY AND GAMBLING

VIII ANYTHING come Of the inquiry
by the District Attorney into the rela-
lions between gamblers and the police
which is invited by Police Commits
sioner Waldo? Mr.. Whitman says he
would not be justified IN taking up the
grand jury's time with anything less
than legal evidence. How is the legal
evidence 10 be obtained? There Is no
legal evidence in the present accusa-
ton against a police lieutenant 1t IS
simply the uncOrroborated word or
self-confessed violator OF the law.
Legal evidence seldom exists In such
cases. If the police are protecting
gamblers or other criminals they see
TO il that no evidence Of their guilt
shall exist that would stand in court
Of law. No one is permitted to see the
money pass. No checks, letters or
other documents enter into the affair
Even the dlctagaph. which has fig
ured to such an extent in recent ex-
posures Of official corruption, might
fail TO record this furtive business.
Yet the mere persistence Of gam
bling in spite OF the law and in spite
Of the public sentiment in favor Of
enforcing the law IS enough 10 con-
vince the public that the police wink
nc Il and that some Of them are paid
for wlnking Whenever the police set
about suppressing It gambling ceases,
or almost ceases rs If by magic. Con-
missioner Waldo says that there
would be no gambling If there were
co-operation between the courts. the
district attorneys and the lViicc Dc
partmont. No doubt it is hard to oh
tain convictions when the police do
present evidence against gamblers. but
how much Of the difficulty is due 20 "a
feeling on the part Of Judges and
luries that the law is not enforced
impartlally that I'm sending a gambler
TO Jail they may be only serving the
ends Of those powers whose enmity
he has incurred or whose protection Dee
was unwilling 70 buy IL is extremely
difficult to punish a man when people
feel that dozens just as guilty as he
are getting off scot free through the
negligence of the authorities or hy
their favor
Real and habltual enforcement Of
the law IS what IS needed 10 give 10
effectiveness. and that IS something
the city has never had and is not
likely to get. The reason why IS un-
likely to bc disclosed by The grand
jury. Only n patient secret inyesuga-
ton by capable detectives employed
for the purpose would suffice TO bring
it out. Such an investigation would
probably open the eyes OF Commits
sioner Waldo rs 20 the effectiveness Of
multiplying checks on police officers
by means OF special squads.

Now the police charge Duffy with

expect conduct like this from such an
individual as the police in 1909 said

that Mayor Gaynor's nomination and
subsequent election were based even
slightly on an incident respecting which

A QUESTION OF JUDGMENT.

The sentencing Of George B. Duffy
TO the workhouse for disorderly con-
duct raises an interesting, even an i'm
portant, question. Were the police
right when they maintained in 1909
that the Duffy youth was a street cor
ner rowdy, a loafer and a general
nuisance Of a character which war
ranted his arrest from time to time, or
was Mr.. Justice Gaynor right in con-
tending that the police were persecut-
ing for no apparent reason save human
depravity a milk-white youth whose
presence In the city was an honor to it?
The question is interesting because
Of the part the Gaynor defence Of Duffy
played in bringing about situation
which led TO the nomination Of Justice
Gaynor for Mayor. From the mastery
way in which Gaynor material was ex-
tracted from this defence Of the poor
and downtrod," Duffy might well call
himself the man who made Gaynor
Mayor Duffy, youth who drove a
milk wagon, had been arrested and
"mugged" on various minor charges.
Justice Gaynor perceived in the fact
that tho police had not been able to

THEY HAD BETTER OBEY.

The EXPRESS companies had better
obey the orders of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and be glad that
they are merely required to cut their
unreasonable rates and set their houses
In order rather than face the compe-
tition of parcels post. Perhaps the
commission has saved them from that
competition. or. at least, postponed
it. At any rate, It has done something
more for them. 1t has shown them q
way to conduct their business 50 as
not to give constant offence to their
patrons. They needed this worse than
! any other public companies in exist
ence.
Had they possessed some system Of
rates that their own agents were
able to understand, had they been able
! TO guard against charging at both
ends for their services, had they
rectfled mistakes promptly and had
they not, in their effort to extort all
THE traffic would bear, put excessive
lpressure upon the small shipper, as I'M
organized and least able to protest
effectively, there would not to-day be
such universal satisfaction that at last
the regulative authority Of the federal
government had extended its hand to
put a stop to the abuses in this bust
ness.
1t Is customary IN this country to
think that the heads Of a business
know best how to run It, and. accord
ingly. there is reluctance to interfere.
But when the public considers the
ordinary common sense rules which
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is forced to make, such as that re
curing a different colored label on
prepaid packages from that on pack
ages sent collect, It will wonder II the
managers Of the express business ever
exercised any intelligence in conduct
Ing It. Stupidity or indifference seems
10 explain most of the faults of the SER
vice. The commission has ruled that
the management must not be stupid
or Indifferent any more or charge too
much. There is poor ground to contest
such requirements as these.

CANADIAN RATES.
A BETTER TRIBUNE.

Increasing circulation and other con-
siderations led The Tribune to conclude
last spring that it must have new
presses. After careful examination Of
the best types of modern printing ma
chimes the order was given to the Du-
plex Company, Of Battle Creek, Mich
and the new equipment is put into reg
ular service this morning.
Our expectation is that The Tribune
viii be found to be even better printed
hereafter than It always has been, but
the Improvement in that respect over
the former standard may not be par
tscularly striking. We ara however,
persuaded that our readers, possibly
after a momentary reluctance 10 well
come any change in the general form
and appearance OF their paper, Will
agree that the reduction in the size OF
the sheet which they note this morning
not only improves its looks but pro-
notes their convenience. The change
I two years ago from six columns on the
page to seven altered the proportions
somewhat, and we have never been en-
tirely satisfied with the effect, so that
when it became necessary to get new
presses we concluded to reduce the
sheet to dimensions which on the whole
seem more suitable.
Those who naturally expect hand
somer appearance and increased con-
: venience in reading to be accompanied
by an enlargement and improvement OF
the contents Of The Tribune will find
that they are not mistaken. We think
they will applaud the changes before
they have finished the first issue and
like them better oil the while.

flcials because they did not build them

the horizon. Certain property owners
on streets to be occupied threaten TO

AGAINST BUSINESS.

According to his advisers and ad-
mirers Governor Wilson is TO make a
business campaign" for the PreSl-
dency. They mean that he will apply
modern business methods In campaign
management, dispensing with the SER
vices of the old-time professional poll
ticians and depending upon commit
tee named by himself and subject to
his personal control. The Governors
friends think that he is paying bust
ness a high compliment in initiating
Its processes. They fail to see, how
ever, that what he is really doing IS
to borrow the weapons Of business
in order to strike all the more effec-
lively at business itself
Seen in its true liglE, Governor VIII
sons candidacy is necessarily an as
sault on business stability and on the
general prosperity which exists when
industry is active and trade is profit
able. The Democratic candidate has
time and again described the protec-
tive system as the chief cause Of the
high cost Of living in the United
States. He wants TO reduce the cost
of living, not by striking at the real
root Of the evil-the excessive charges
Of middlemen exercising virtual
monopoly IN dlstribution-but by Grip
ping the wage Garner and shearing
him Of his present purchasing power,
thus forcing the country down to a
lower standard Of living. If wages are
cut, industry is checked and labor Is
turned back from the factory 10 the
farm, the prices Of the necessaries Of
life must be lowered in order that they
may be sold at all. That is the pro-
gramme Of the Democratic majority in
the House Of Representatives, to which
the Democratic National Convention
has added the seal OF its approval. 1t
is also the programme Of the Demo
cratic nominee, who by training and
svmpathies is firmly attached to the
Southern free trade school. which has
aimed TO bring about lower cost OF
living here by giving control of the
domestic market for manufactures to
foreign industry and labor and keeping
wages down by preventing a whole
some Investigation of industry.
If tariff duties are to be swept away
and the funds to support the govern
ment to be raised by taxation on pri-
vate and corporate income both the
wage earners and the owners Of capital
will be made poorer and there will be
an era of slackening trade and falling
values. The Wilson programme is I'M
doubtedly simple and effective. It will
hit the farmer and the factory opera
tive alike and will 60 a long way tow
ard putting business out Of business.
1t is a grim piece Of sarcasm that SUCH
an enterprise as Mr.. Wilson and the
Democratic National Committee are
about to engage in should be lauded for
appropriating the methods Of the chief
victim on its sacrifcial list.
