To make it as convenient as possible
for passengers to redeem unused rail-
road tickets, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has established a rule which provides
that the return portion of an excursion
ticket may be redeemed at the ticket
office at which it was bought present
ed by the original purchaser.
Until recently, if one wished to re-
deem any Pennsylvania Railroad ticket,
it was necessary to forward it to the
General Passenger Agent at Philadel-
phia, with attendant delay. On August
7th, the Company announced that, to
make it more convenient for passengers
to redeem railroad tickets, it had es-
tablished rule that wholly unused
ticket might be redeemed by the origl-
nal purchaser at the Office at which it
was bought. Now this privilege will
be extended to passengers holding I'M
used return portions of excursions
tickets.

A Card from Mr.. Hardy
Mr.. EDITOR:-

Mr.. EDIToR:-
Will you Please give me space in
your paper to extend my thanks to the
twenty-four hundred and fifty voters
who went to the polls on November 4th
and elected me Sheriff of the County,
| realize the great responsibility
resting upon me, and to carry out the
platform on which l made my fight and
to justify the great confidence the
people have shown in my sincerity of
purpose, | appeal to every law abiding
citizen in the County to give me their as
sistance in bringing to justice the vio-
lators of the law, especially those who
insist upon throwing their sa-
looms open on the Sabbath day, thereby
inviting into our County an undesirable
element from the District of Columbia
and thereby bringing a blush of shame
on the fair name of our County.
Respectfully,
George w. Hardy.

A Day of Grace for Mexico.

There will be a general feeling Of relief, OF graft
fcation and of hopefulness at General Huertas re-
quest for the postponement of President wilson
message for one day. That request which was DOM
generously and discreetly complied with, means a
day of grace for Mexico, or for her de tdcto ruler
in which much may happen that VIII be TO the ad-
vantage of both countries We said yesterday II was
to be hoped that there would be no occasion for de-
livering the message to Congress. 1t Is now TO ne
hoped that the temporary stay may for good cause
be made permanent.
General Huerta's motives and intentions in ask
ing for the delay are not disclosed. We must, how
ever assume them to be serious and favorable II
he were wholly regardless of American representa-
tions defiant of American opinions and desires. and
unamenable TO American counsels, he would not
have made such request. The very fact that he
has made 1t is an unmistakabe revelation of his re-
gard for American opinion and of his desire TO
reach an amicable understanding with this country
The fact, too that Mr.. Lind Endorsed the request
for delay is highly significant That anomalous en-
yoy has left the Mexican capital with his mission
unaccomplished: vet he evidently has hope that
after his departure that mission may in some way
be fulfilled.
Rehearsal Of the proposals which were made
through Mr.. Lind strengthens the hope that agree
ment may be reached. Note that General Huerta Is
not asked to retire from the de tGcto Presidency.
He is asked not to be a candidate at the coming
election and that is request simply that he act in
accordance with the spirit of the Mexican constitu-
ton and laws which forbid actual President to
seek reelection The request for cessation of hos
tilities may be beyond General Huerta's power to
fulfill seeing that it depends chiefly upon the dis
position Of the insurgents but to whomever ad-
dressed it is certainly appropriate. That the cleo
ton should be early and free goes without saying,
as also that provided 1t is free and fair its result
should be Loyalty accepted by all parties; but, Of
course that too, is beyond General Huerta's power
to assure.
But If General Huerta accedes to these proposals
In his own behalf and Loyalty fulhls them, the stu
alton will be greatly clarified. For the insurgents
to refuse to do likewise would put them hopelessly
In the wrong In no way could General IIuerta bet
ter atone for the evil which he is believed to have
done and In no way could he better serve the real
welfare of the Mexican nation, than in improving
this day Of grace with an acceptance Of the essen
tial parts of the American suggestions. If he does
that, the day Of grace will be day Of triumph for
both countries

The Conquering Mclaughlin.

The national lawn tennis tournament at Newport
fully indicated the Judgment of the committee
which selected the team to represent the United
States in the international Davis Cup tournament
since Mclaughlin and Williams met in the nnaI
round McLoughin's retention of the national tue
also ratified the judgment of both American ana
English experts that he is the player of greatest
nromise which the game has so far developed.
He often falls below his true form. and In Eng
land he seemed to suffer spell OF staleneSs, during
which he was beaten in one OF the DAVIS CUP
matches. But he possesses wonderful powers Of
recuperation and at critical juncures lifts his game
ND I'm a burst of speed which overwhelms his oppo-
nent This ability to extend himself when neces-
sarv is the real test Of superiority in game Ike
tennis, in which victory so often hangs on Few
decisive rallies.
NcLougbln's successes here and abroad may have
the effect of altering somewhat the style OF play
in tennis. for many Of the younger men VIII uh-
doubtedlv try to initiate his crashing overhead vol
leving and his so-caed smash service. But this Is
not to be regretted. The game should be allowed
10 develop freely If tendency arises To overdo
the severe service it can be met by stricter OBJ
seryance of the present rule against footfaults
which many players violate. Excuses in service
will correct themselves, if detrimental to the game
But il would be foolish to devise new restrictions
simply in order to hamper one mans too successful
play as there IS some iladvised talk abroad or
doing.

SYMPATHY FOR THAW
A Reader Considers Him Pathetic
and Harassed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Where did we ever find such sys-
tematic and unrelenting pursuit of one
unfortunate individual as I'm the case of
Harry X. Thaw. by all kinds OF newspa-
per writers. regular and special. from the
editorial solon down TO the professional
Jester and the visionary cub? In the
minds of some OF these self-sufiicient
Journalists, who fancy that the Creator Of
man and the guide OF his destiny let
Thaw fall from grace for their personal
benefit. the past. present and future be-
come a phantasmagoria OF Thaw TRACE
dies with terrifying figures planning muir
der and revenge.
Harry Thaw has snned. He has trans
crossed grossly. But Is II possible that
other human beings, all weak and falli-
bic. and surely not without a blemish,
should take a delight In forever closing
the door OF hope to this pitiful figure?
Undoubtedly more dangerous and des-
perate individuals are at large In our
community who have never been closely
observed and examined or restrained.
Yes, worse characters have been deliber-
ately pardoned, released and given a
seemingly fair chance to show that man

is not eternally bad. Why not give Harr,
Thaw the same chance?
Thaw was found not guilty Of the
charge of murder, on the ground that he
was insane at the time Of the commission
OF the act. In some other country the
verdict might have read: Guilty, but In
sane" In this country the jury says:
Not guilty. because insane"
OF course. II you take your inspiration
from the Old Testament, where you find
only law and no gospel, and where the
motto is An eye for an eye and tooth
for a TOOTH" you will take a violent eX-
cepton to our American system, under
which Thaw was tried and found not
guilty II is nevertheless the only fair
and just system in our age and country
Surprising that Thaw really was insane
at the time he committed murder-whicn
the distinguished District Attorney, puo-
lie prosecutor at the trial Of Thaw' posi-
lively refused TO admit-does that mean
that he always must remain insane Is
il really a self-eyident truth-an axiom

Mitchell and Hearst.

Peonle will like Mr. Mitchell better because he has
shown independence of Hearst. The chief weak
ness of Mr.. Mitchell due to the belief that lie
was too much under the influence or Hearst ieo-
pie remembered his attitude upon the subway queS-
ton and thought that President OF the boaru
of Aldermen his chief aim was to please Hearst
They feared that as Mayor he would be too much
of a deputy for Hearst. But his present denance
of Hearst stamps him as nobody's man but MS
own.
He and the fusion movement will be well ria
of Hearst if the result is that Hearst takes MS
puppet organization out OF the fusion camp Inc
editor is a sham anti-Tammany man. Since ne De-
came prominent in the citys politics 1t has been
impossible to elect an anti-Tammany Mayor, chiefly
because of his activities, although election after
election has shown a strong antiTammany majority
In 1905 he split the anti-Tammany forces and
running himself enabled Murphy to elect Mcclellan
as Mayor and with him the rest of the Tammany
ticket Four years later he again prevented union
unon a candidate for Mayor and, running himself
split the anti-Tammany vote sufficiently TO enable
Murphy's candidate TO win again.
This vear every effort was made to pacate Hearst.
He got his own candidate for Mayor. Neverthe-
less. he was preparing to knife the ant-Tammany
ticket. Mr. Mitchels action will compel MN 10
knife II openly If at all. There Will be that much
gain.
Mr. Mitchers exposure Of Hearst should be ell
fective 1t comes from man whom the editor mas
favored and supported and taught his misguided
followers to trust Mr.. Mitchell has stood for the
principles that Hearst processes to hold He mas
taken the Hearst position on subways. The puohc
which has hitherto followed the editor should nave
faith in Mr.. Mitchell If anything can destroy
Hearst's capacity for mischief it is Mr. Mitchei

The Way to Close Gambling Houses.

If the police authorities want TO stop gambling
they couldn't use more effective weapon than the
John Doe grand jury subpoena. Arresting and fin
ing the employees of gambling houses and clubs
do not get anywhere. 1t is an incident of the bust
ness for those employees to be arrested and let out
on bail Theirs is an eXtra-hazardous occupation
and they enter it knowing the risks Their tenn
porary detention doesn't break up their employers
business.
But if the frequenters Of poker rooms-the kind
Of establishments most popular-are taken be-
fore the grand jury witnesses the fascination Of
the gambling game will vanish Few business
raen can afford to have it known that they frequent
gambling clubs and the average employer would
hesitate about keeping clerk or agent whose hon
esty was likely to be undermined by the gambling
habit.
In a commercial community 1t is fatal nowadays
to be stigmatzed as gambler. No public gaming
house could exist long In this city if compelled TO
furnish public register of its patrons

Taxicab Troubles and the Public.

Hearts must bleed at the presentation of the woes
of the taxicab companies because Of the reduced
fare ordinance which they are fighting Sc bitterly,
and human sympathy cannot fail to be touched at
their solictude for the poor independent owners
of cab two or course. they would like TO
comply with the Notwithstanding would suit
them better. But they cannot get the taximeters,
and so they must starve meantime, and the weary
citizens trudge their legs stiff 1t is dreary des-
perate state of affairs, which only just and merci
full court can resolve by granting permanent in
junction against the enforcement of the ordinance
II seems to be the city's fault for requiring Il
kind of meter which will register lower rate of
fare for a given distance than the taxcab COM
panes have been charging That was done only
because of the foolish protests Of hundreds Of cti-
zens that the cab companies making fat profits
and some Of them were full OF money that they
could afford to give graft to everybody from hotel
starters to traffic policemen. Obviously, therefore
