>INsTALLMENT FINES FOR BRITAIN.

In Great Britain last year $4,000 persons were
committed to prison in default of the payment OF
fines. This appalling showing of unmerted misery
and degradation has made an impression upon the
liberal cabinet, by whose authority the home secre-
tary announces that bill will be introduced in par
lament permitting the payment of fines in install
ments where this is deemed advisable.
Thus the plan which has been tried with marked
success in Kansas City and elsewhere in America
bids fair to become national institution in England
Scotland, and Ireland. AS it appeals strongly to
sound judgment well as humanity, there would
seem to be no reason to doubt that the home secre-
tarysbil will receive ample support both in para-
ment and before the country.
At the coming session of its legislature MARYLAND
is expected to become one of the first American
States to put the system into practice, measure
having that end in view will be presented by CON-
mittee of Baltimore police magistrates who believe
il will pass on its merits.

REDUCING THE REGIONAL BANKS.

The Glass-Owen bill provided for twelve regional
banks. Much opposition, seemingly based on good
reasoning, has been urged against having so many
of them. The Administration made ten its minimum
but the Senate committee has voted to fix the number
at four.
This may be treason, but it sounds, in the way it
was done, like sense 1t is provided that the plan
shall start with four of the regional institutions, and
then that the Federal reserve board shall have
power, in its discretion, to increase their number
after two years. This seems like thoroughly salts
factory compromise.
With the number of regional banks reduced, and
then with the general public permitted to buy their
STOCK the objection of the national banks would be
to considerable extent met. Many of the small
banks have insisted that they could not afford to in
vest their money in the stock of the regional bank,
with its limited earning capacity, and that threatened
if forced to make such investment to forfeit their
Federal charters. Perhaps that threat has been ex-
aggerated; probably so.
There is one question about public subscription to
the stocks of the regional banks that should not
fail of attention. On the face of it anybody would
say that with the stock owned by the general public,
these institutions would be thoroughly democratic;
much more so than if owned by the national banks.
But would they? How long would it be before the
regional bank say ST. Louis would have fallen into
the control of any group of powerful fnanciers who
thought they wanted it, if the public were holding
the stocks? 1t easy gather up securities of this
kind by quiet campaigns in the market If the ma
tonal banks were required to hold the Stocks in pro-
portion to their capital in some other arbitrary
way, the country would always know who owned
them; there would be no uncertainties.
But suppose that after the new law is passed, the
stock being popularity owned, some powerful fnan-
cial group buys CONTROL quietly and unostentatiousy
of the regional banks or some of them. Thereafter,
nobody would have confidence in legislative proposals
for perfecting the system, because there would be
eternal suspicion that the stockholding interest
going to put something over. 1t is doubtful whether
ownership exclusively by the banks would not really
be more effectively and securely democratic than
ownership by the general public. c..

THE FEMINIST PROGRESSION.

London doctor comes forward with alarming
information about the latest developments in fem
inism The ladies, he tells us, are an inch taller
than they were half century ago, and getting still
longer He attributes their elongation to the fact
that they are going in for sports as they never dream
ed of doing before, and also that they have been i'm
proving their minds and getting into occupations that
tend to greater physical development.
Closely juxtaposed to this information in the
newspapers comes the story that women are fighting
on both sides in the Mexican war, and fighting et-
fectvely too. Last month astounded world learn
ed that while all the men in Bahama had been out
shooting each other, the women and children had
raised as we recoect the statistics LOG per cent of
a normal wheat crop.
Meanwhile Mrs Pankhurst is in our midst, Mr..
Asquith has been dog-whipped by suffragettes, and
the nerves of the British nation are on edge worse
than ever. The ladies are certainly going some.

NEW YoRK,s NATIONAL ELECTION.

There is less of national character and quality
in the New York city election of tomorrow than in
any other of the rst-class contests that will then be
decided The results will signify nothing as to the
attitude of the metropolis toward tariff or currency
or Mexico or trusts anything else with which the
national mind is concerned.
On the other hand MASSACHUSETTS and New Jersey
have on hand elections in which will be tested, to a
considerable extent, despite completely of local con-
ditions the sentiment of those States toward national
affairs and the accomplishments of the Wilson Ad-
ninisration to this time.
Yet national interest in New York is as ten to
one compared to national interest in any other eec-
ton that will take place tomorrow. Massachusetts
and New jersey have been invaded by the SPELL
binders of all parties their voters have been told
that this is terribly critical tme that they must
stand by the National Administration, or that they
must set their faces firmly against it, and the ele
ments formerly composing the Republican party have
been fighting hard for advantage and prestige.
But it is New York city that commands the at
ention of the nation That is true, probably because
the issue is simple and the elements in it are readily
understandable Ii is straightaway fight between
bad government and good; between boss rule and
popular rule; between contractor-control and the
management of affairs for the peoples interest; be-
tween Iammany and decency.
The public can understand such situation as
that 1t can be very sure that victory for decent
government will be victory for decent government.
II doesn't have to work any Chinese puzzles in order
to decide what side il ought to support
All this illustrates the latter-day disposition of
the community to set less store by mere parsanship
and mere political advantage, and more by essentials
A fight for good government is fight that people
cs understand and take very real interest in They
see such fight in New York, and they have no fear
that they will be fooled or befuddled into lending
their sympathies to the wrong side of it.
The instinct of the people in this matter as usual
is right. While New Jersey and Massachusetts have
tried to key their contests up to an attunement with
national concerns the most important doings at this
e ection will be in New York Tammany is vastly
more than metropolitan plunderbund. 1t is the
eyer-ready reinforcement of the powers of dark
n,ss in national affairs. 1t is nonpartisan when its
.iends are concerned. 1t knifes Bryan at elec-
on; it comes to the rescue of tory Repubicanism in

TRANSFERRING CARS, NOT PASSENGERS

There are various ways of skinning cat. The
street car cat it is now alleged may be skinned by
the unique plan of transferring instead of pas
sengers.
1t appears that the Constitution forbids universal
transfers Of passengers, and the Constitution being
sacred whenever it orbids anything that ought to be
done, the proposition is now put forward that the
cars instead of the passengers, be transferred. At
first glance it may look difficult and muddng but it
has in its favor, according to high municipal author
i, the fact that the Constitution can't prevent it
being DONE.
The proposal is simplicity itself-on paper, at
least There is law enough to back up the Public
Utilities Commission in adopting the plan and the
commission is looking into the advisabiliy of doing
it. Here is the working of the thing in specific
case:
A passenger comes down town on the Fourteenth
street line, destined to a point on F street. At
Fourteenth street and New York avenue his car
turns into New York avenue to make the Treasury
circuit and thence enter Pennsylvania avenue. If the
Fourteenth street car doesn't want to give this passen
gel udiiSiCi " uiS " oShhStoh Val, "h'Sh
passes that point and goes down street, let it
stand on its constitutional rights and refuse; but if
it refuses, then it will be required to take the pas
senger there in its own car.
That is to say, the routes of the two big companies
would be so readjusted that certain proportion
of Fourteenth street would via street, and
the rest of them via Pennsylvania avenue. The two
companies would have to make terms between them
selves as to the compensation to be given for this
use of each others tracks.
The scheme is, in fact, merely an extension Of
one already to some extent in operation. The cars
at the Union Station all use the same tracks. The
public is greatly convenienced thereby: There are
vther joint tracks or trackage rights at various
places in the city, and this method causes no diff
fculty or complication. In fact it is very sensible
plan of getting the utmost convenience with the least
cost The Pennsylvania avenue line is cross-town
trunk which part of the to the northeast
and part to the southeast; to Piney Branch
by way of Fourteenth street, and others run to
Georgetown. There would be no more complexity
about running part of the in street and soms
in Pennsylvania avenue, than there is about running
cars through Pennsylvania avenue in order to con-
meet all the quarters of the town.
And besides, the Constitution doesn't forbid it. The
Utilities Commission thinks gravely Of trying it. We
should think that if the street people decline to
transfer passengers, the alternative of transferring
cars might very we'll be tried.
