Looks Like Defeat.

The present indications from the
talk among the male voters Of the
city is that the bond issue will be
defeated unless some action is taken
to put the question more clearly be-
fore the people. Some of the advo-
Gates have talked Of starting regu-
lar campaign for the bond issue, be-
lieving that If the question were fully
understood the issue would pass
easily.
The Garfield school building has
been condemned as unsafe, as rrre
trap and entirely inadequate to the
present or future needs. A few peo-
PIE have advocated the remodelling
of the building but the board of trus-
tees investigated this proposition be.
fore they decided to call the special
election and found it costly, imprac-
ticable and almost impossible to
remedy the existing evils.
No one denies the need of a better
school building but the people do not
like to pay the interest on the bonds
by raise in taxes. Whether those
in favor of the issue are afraid to
come out and fight for it or whether
or not there is merely a lack of in
terest in the measure is hard to de
termine but unless something is done
by the advocates of the measure In
the next eleven days 1t seems tina,
the issue will fail. The board o.
trustees are simply putting the ques
tion up to the people and will take
no concerted action in favor OF It.

CURB FOR THAW'S KIND.

The changes which Attorney General
CarmOdy recommends in the law re-
garding habeaS corpus proceedings In
behalf of the criminal insane are much
needed. II is prepOSterous that Thaw
and his kind should be able To put the
state to vast expense whenever the in
sane notion strikes them that they must
have another court hearing upon their
sanity. Thaw has been adiudgcd in
sane several times 10y different courts
be able TO reOpen the whole question
as often AZ he feels like doing it. and
compel the state 10 prove not only that
he hasn't recovered his sanity since his
last hearing before the court. but that
he was insane when originally com
mitted and has remained so. And IL is
equally absurd that all the evidence Of
his mental weakness which has been
produced in court over and over again
should have 10 be produced afresh at
each new proceeding.
Justice would be served in his case
and in the many others Of which his
is typical by having the principle of
res ddjudicata applied as the Attorney
General proposes. so that his insanity
al the time the court last pronounced
him insane should be a settled fact.
beyond dispute and requiring no new
proof. 1t would also be i'm accordance
with common sense TO permit the use
at subsequent hearings Of any testi-
mohy or evidence given at previous
hearings without the recalling Of wit
nesses. The public needs the protec-
ton against long pursed criminal para
noiacs that these proposals Of Mr.. Car
mody would give.

streets like Fifth avenue and upper
Broadway most OF the day and part OF
the night. Reducing the limit or speed
on all the streets of the city, except
few chosen highways. to fifteen miles
an hour-if. indeed, that limit Is not
too highs n matter Of prudence ana
II lust recognition Of the rights OF the
pedestrian public.
One Of the most insidious perils In
the streets is the automobile driver
who rushes up and past when a street
car is discharging passengers. Passeh-
gers are instructed TO get of face FOR
ward. and if they obey that necessary
rule they cannot observe the vehicle
approaching from the rear. The new
ordinance stops that dangerous prac-
tice. and il also forbids fast driving In
the neighborhood Of public schools. 1t
has been the habit Of too many chauf-
feurs TO take risks at the expense or
pedestrians. and the severer penalties
lust established for infractions of the
law are therefore welcome. The streets
were not made primarily for speeding
purposes. and the city is becoming so
congested that care and consideration
in their use are more than ever neces-
sary. Better lower speed limit and
the slight Inconvenience due TO In
creased precautions than a growing list
Of casualties chargeable To reckless
haste
