RAILROAD SAFETY FIRST

Addressing a meeting Of employees
Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, Howard Elliott,
head Of the system, said:
The safety first movement on the New
Haven is here to stay, and it is to
Grow: we are to make the New Haven
a synonym for all that is excellent and
safe In the railroad world
The public would much rather have
reasonable speed with regularity than
excessive speed with irregularity.
And Mr.. Elliott might have added
with becoming modesty that the
public appreciates the sort of work
he has done to give the safety which
has come to the service which he
directs. New Haven railroad kill
ings had become notoriously fire.
quent when he took charge of the
road. They are now a chapter of
ancient history for his road and its
public.
Mr.. Elliott deserves to have others
than his employees give voice to the
high credit which he deserves for all
his improvements in the New Haven
service, from protecting the lives of
its passengers to operating trains
for them with speed yet regularity.

AN AMERICAN JEAN VALJEAN

A petition has been forwarded to
President Wilson for the pardon Of
Robert E. Hicks, of New York, who
was convicted thirteen years ago Of
misuse of the mails, and receiving a
sentence of ten months imprison-
ment and $1,000 fine. He forfeited
q $1,000 bond, and that was the last
known of him until last week, when
he voluntarily surrendered, and was
committed to prison.
Four religious bodies, with private
persons, and some of those instru-
mental in securing Hicks conviction,
including Anthony Comstock, who
made the complaint which resulted
in the arrest Of the man, recommend
clemency. Hicks is a printer, con-
ducting a shop of his own, and sup
ports wife and three little children.
He was converted to Christianity,
and his conscience troubled him un-
til he gave himself up. It appears
that the religious organizations from
some of which he had received print
ing contracts, acted upon their own
initiative, believing him to have
lived an exemplary life.
There are instances where mercy
is the highest justice. Hicks nigh,
have continued his deception until
his death. BY serving his sentence
he would fulfill the law, but not its
supreme purpose, the betterment Of
society. 1t is difficult to see where
harm would be done by pardonine
him. His surrender satisfies justice
his upright living and bringing up {
family, recommend him to mercy.

BossINd THE GOVERNMENT

There is complaint from New
York city that the army Of municipal
employees have so much political in
fluence that they are greater than
the city government itself. The
school teachers went off to Albany
and got the legislature to raise their
wages; the police and firemen are
constantly up to like performances;
other classes of employees contempt
uously appeal from the city's ex-
ecutives to the legislature, and get
what they want-with the city tax
payers to foot the bills.
To people outside New York the
spectacle of a State legislature or.
dering a town to pay certain wages
to its teachers, police, and the like
is startling. In most American
cities the school board is indepen.
dent even Of the municipal govern.
ment; levies its own taxes, spends
the proceeds as it pleases, runs it,
business as if there were no mayor
and council. This division of auth
ority has been carried too far; bu
it is far better to have divided
authority, all the divisions of it re
sponsible to the people of the city
than to have a legislature which
doesn't represent the city, but tn,
State, bossing city. The remedy il
more concentration of authority an,
responsibility within the city, ant
the real, effective home rule, outsid'
the power Of the legislature to in
lterfere.
The Washington times., 1915-06-16

Of emancipation in this realization
that the big town need not be rolled
back on itself, unable to get to
business. No matter whether the
soulless corporation or the wicked
labor union is to blame for the
strike, the public does most Of the
suffering. A town used to be under
the menace of farworse than incon-
venience in the event of car strike;
it well-nigh made business impos-
sible, especially in a congested
place. The automobile represents a
declaration of partial community
independence.
Chicago is going to give the coun-
try a demonstration Of the final ef-
ficacy of the jitney. It is wide
flung town, its people living
throughout a very widespread area,
but a vast share Of them doing busi-
ness within or adjacent to the "loop
district" than which no city pos
sesses a worse congested region. II
it can by drafting its automobiles
measurably provide facilities ir
such a time as this, and move its
daytime downtown population back
and forth with sufficient effective.
ness to meet the emergency, it may
as well be conceded that the grir
of the street cars, the tyranny Of
unions, and likewise the obtuseness
of corporations, are decidedly re-
laxed in favor of the plain public
Chicago presents about as bad 9
problem to meet in this way as car
be found; wherefore the community
at large will be the more concerned
to see what happens there in the
next few days.
The Washington times., 1915-06-16
CHICAGO AND THE JITNEY

Chicago is lied I'D by the strike
of $4,000 employees of its street tran
sit system, and both sides announce
that it Is going to be a fight to a
finish.
1t will be unlike any great street
car strike ever kno wn, because The
automobile will be a new factor.
There are said to be over 10000
motor cars in Chicago, and yester-
day, according to report, half a mil
lion people came down to business
in the gasolene carts. The man with
an imported seven-passenger car in
vited his neighbors to ride, and the
big wagon enjoyed the sensation of
being jammed to capacity. The man
with a jerk-water buzz cart perhaps
carried his friends as a courtesy
perhaps turned the contraption in.
to a jitney; anyhow, it, also, was
filled to the limit, though it was not
surprised. Everybody has noticed
the tendency of the big car to roll
along in state with most of its room
unoccupied, while the four-cylindei
midget handles a couple of famiIie:
every time it's cranked up. There
might be opportunity for som,
philosophizing on this detail, bu
present purpose is concerned will
other aspects.
The point is that Chicago can't b,
tied up in the old-fashioned way
The motor car makes all the differ
ence in the world. One man TO
courtesy, another for a quarter
makes his car available, and tn
strike is turned into something of |
lark.
! Truth to say, there is a good dsa
