Police Tinkering at Albany.

The police situation here has not been materially
changed for the better by the passage of senator
Wagner's bill creating special board to hanoe
gambling and prostitution. We have never been
able to see how mere division of authority Is going
TO lessen the evils of police toll on vice Inc
new board will not have entire control OF the two
kinds of vice committed to its care. The ordinary
patrolman will still be able to arrest women VINO
walk the streets and take them into court on
charges Of dsorderly conduct
If the police force is really to be cleaned up the
process must be general one There still remains
open TO workers in the main division OF the estaD-
shment the vast field of liquor selling in violation
Of law Had the Legislature passed the partial
Sunday opening bill the prospect OF ending graft
through the sale of Illegal privileges to saloonkeep
ers would be much brighter. As II Is, almost any
saloonkeeper who cares to can go ahead selling Oh
Sundays, the outward appearance" enforcement OF
the present administration being only phllosoph-
zeal recognition of the fact that to stop Sunday
selling is an impracticable task.
Radical police reform is bound TO come within n
few years But the Legislature IS waiting for a
clearer mandate from the people II IS SATISFIED 10

Interest on Government Deposits.

Onerous conditions attach 10 the acceptance OF

banks would be glad TO pay per cent interest

Government deposits have however been very

THE MARRIED TEACHER
When Will the Board of Education
Treat Her Fairly?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Among the bylaws OF the Board
OF Education is very innocent-looking
article which provides that no married
woman (uness her husband is an incura-
BILE imbecile) shall be appointed TO po-
stion In the schools. The board enforces
this bylaw with inhexible rigor on the
ground that It is thereby increasing the
efficiency OF the school system and safe
guarding the welfare OF the home. With
out further explanation. the members Of
the board who publicly defend the by
law declare. In effect that IL is a point
Of morality and honor TO exclude all mar
ried women from teaching positions
Has the board actually kept the schools
free of married women teachers? No. II
would have liked to do so. But an unfeel-
Ing judicial decision has restricted the
board from expelling those women who
marry while In service and who refuse 10
resign merely TO show a respectful an
probation OF the boards tender sense OF
honor
1t is therefore clear that the real object
of the bylaw-the complete exclusion OF
married women-has not been achieved.
What. then. Is the practical effect of this
restrictive rule? II has twofold effect.
First-lt excludes from reappointment
teachers who have married and resigned.
second-lt excludes from promotion
teachers who have married and refused
to resign
Under the nrst head come experienced
teachers who resigned at the time of

THE SUNDAY OPENING PLEA
1t Is Called the Biggest Lie from the
Depths of He'll

passage OF the bill: The message was
recommended by the special legislative
committee on remedial police legisla-
ton"
Now, | ask. what has the Sunday open
ing Of the saloon TO do with remedial po-
lice legislation?
The plea OF those who favor this bill
because OF the above, namely, that in
order to prevent the police from taking
graft from the saloonkeeper for permit
ting him TO break the law which says h.

with the opportunity the police have Of
taking this graft, or protection money!

came from the depths or hell
Think OF II, In order TO prevent one
form of viciousness We must encourage
another. In order to prevent the police
from grating and the saloonkeeper from
defling the Sabbath day on the sly
through this protection. we must permit
him to defle it openly by making IT legal.
God pity the men who make such a
plea! They are not fit to serve their fell
low men; they are weak. spIneless beings.

can't runs through their entire system.
They say: you can't close the saloon on
Sunday. and you can't prevent graft un-
less you legalize Sunday opening These,
too, are lies.

SEVENTH AVENUE SUBWAY
End the Isolation Of tho P. r. R. Sta

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / am much interested 10 notice that
the latest proposition in subway matters
Is a plan 20 extend the Lexington avenue
subway from i2d street 10 18th street and
perhaps below that point where connec-
ton will be made with the Fourth avenue
subway. which 1t closely parallels. The
additional cost OF construction Will be
borne by the city. The additional cost Of
train mileage will undoubtedly be borne
by tho city
Would il not be a better plan TO act
ually complete the letter H system be-
fore putting two stems on a figure 4 ?
Is II desirable TO congest all the business
I'm New York along Fourth avenue? The
scheme seems TO be neat manPuvre on
the part Of the New York Central to con-
tinue the isolation OF the Pennsylvania
station and 10 continue all subway traffic
in front OF its own terminal When both
the Broadway and Lexington avenue
trains run down the East Side at least
as far as l4th street lack OF city Dor
rowing capacity would again postpone
the building Of the Seventh avenue sub
way. When finally put into complete
operation the Seventh avenue subway
would be found to be only a shuttle line.
The New York Central has had his
torically good luck I'm its dealings with
the city. Let the city keep faith with
the Pennsylvania Railroad and put its
station on a main line subway at once
Then the city can expect the railroad to
strsighten out the mining camp condi-
