Baby Checking.

When Owen Wister " Jte that famous
chapter in "The Virginian" babies had
been mixed more in fiction than in fact.
But since then the palm has been trans
ferred to fact, particularly in 125th
Street.
There it has been the custom Of de-
partment stores to provide checking
facilities which permit mothers to shop
without interrupting the airing of their
infants. A male, usually boy in uni
form, stands by the curb in front of the
store and does out duplicate brass checks
to customers who leave their baby car
riages in his care. The system, like all
devised by human brains, not infrequent-
ly advertises its imperfections. mother
loses her check; the boy proves inatten-
tive in the presence Of obvious distress;
wild automobiles or runaway horses
threaten disaster. And only day or so
ago lynching was narrowly averted
when James Hartmann, one of the baby
check boys, confused his numbers and
tried to wish twins on the parent of a
single infant.
An amazingly simple reform suggests
itself, SO simple and obvious that one
marvels it could have been overlooked so
long. Perhaps it possesses some fatal
defect. In any case, here it is: Why not
employ woman to check and watch over
the babies? Would she ever forget to
whom they belonged? Would she ever per
nit her charges to suffer uncontrolled?
Would she ever be guilty Of any of those
lapses toward the individual infant 70
which man, the stupid animal, is prone?
Let only one Of the 125th Street depart
ment stores pick strong, motherly and
responsible woman for the job and com
petition would quickly force the others
to follow suit. Harlem's main thorough
fare would then become once more an
orderly avenue of ubiquitous domesticity.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-08
A Question of Power.

The Kings County Grand Jury which,
finding transit conditions in Brooklyn
bad in many respects, criticised the Pub
lie Service Commission for not compel
ling betterments should rejoice at the
action of Health Commissioner Gold
water. His order for the operation of
more surface cars on certain lines Is to
be obeyed by the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, although the legality of 1t Is
to be tested. the company says. To avoid
threatened arrests and penalties" the
company will comply with the order pend
ing a decision on DR.. Goldwater's right
TO issue it
That Is directly reversing the treat
ment which the transit companies have
been used to accord to orders Of the
Public Service Commission, and the
B. r. T. is not alone in this policy.
Mr.. Whitridge, the bellicose, also came
down before DR.. Goldwater could
shoot. With the Public Service Com
missions orders the general policy Of
the companies has been to disobey and
to contest while the disobedience con-
tinued. 1t is fortunate for the city
that some power has been discovered
to produce immediate action, whatever
the result Of the suggested lawsuits
may be.
If the courts should fnd-which seems
unlikely, considering the broad powers of
DR.. Goldwaters office-that he exceeded
his authority in making these orders, the
fact will still remain that possession Of
that power by him or somebody else
would make the traction companies jump,
and proper legislative action could be
taken. 1t is necessary in this city to
have regulative power over the railway
which will actually regulate.
DR.. Goldwater's prospective arrests
and penalties" seem to have been the
needed impetus toward betterment of
the service. 1t will always be matter
of regret to the public that the Public
Service Commission never undertook
criminal action against violators Of its
a course might have pro-
duced just as gratifying results as have
followed DR.. Goldwater's orders.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-08
but in the interest of the country as a

but in the interest of the country as a
whole.
The decision in the Western case will
be a fair test of the commissions more
enlightened attitude. If the governments
policy is to become constructive, II will
lend hand all along the line to tho
hard pressed carriers. II will help to
put new courage into railroad investors,
TO broaden employment and lift the pres
ent ban on railroad expenditure for
maintenance and equipment. 1t will re-
store normal conditions in basic In
dustry whose prosperity or depression Ia
felt Immediately in many dependent In
dustres.
Five years ago, when the commission
turned down n request Of the Western
roads for higher rates, it made them a
definite promise of reconsideration. 1t
said that if the conditions of which the
carriers then complained should become
aggravated, reasonable increases in
rates would be granted. The commits
sion will show not only good faith but
the broadest economic wisdom in re-
deeming that pledge.
