A Welcome Rain Coat.

The adoption OF white rubber
coats to protect the police Of the
traffic force on rainy days is one Of
the most commendable improvements
recently made by the Police Depart
ment. The purpose of the white
rain coat Is to enable people to see
the policeman, who might otherwise
be mistaken for a street cleaner or
even n messenger boy. 1t is an ex-
cellent idea, for it Is at all times
desirable that people moving through
the streets should be able to see the
traffic police.

who are about to cross streets at

the various educational campaigns

Of supplying a supposedly enormous

no such demand at all.
The truth may be that the clamor

small number Of people shouting in

large noise. 1t Is q rather sad COM

A Good Veto.

Governor WHITMAN has blocked by
his veto the fifth consecutive attempt
Of the trolley interests to take pos
session of the Albany post road in
the Westchester towns Of Ossinlng,
Mount Plea SAINT and Greenburg. For
many years the Burns law has pre-.
tected this historic highway against
invasion. There have been repeated
efforts to repeal the Burns law and
thus permit the laying of tracks in
this narrowest part of the post
road, to the practical destruction Of
that great usefulness AS . thorough
fare which it now possesses.
Year after year THE Sun has called
attention to the sinister projects Of
the road grabbers, and year after
year the scheme OF destruction has
been defeated either in the Legisla-
ture or by the Executive.
We congratulate Governor WHIT
NAN on the accurate perception of
public duty which inspired his veto
OF the pernicious Slater bill and upon
his spirited performance of that duty.
He might have allowed the bill to die
by merely Withholding his signature
a little while longer. for after mid.
night tomorrow measures still unap-
proved by the Executive perish with,
out his action. But the Governor
chose to dispose of the matter openly
by veto, and he should have full
credit for a public service thus man.

There should be no controversy
about the comparative merits OF
FRENCH and KITCHENER as soldiers
because the British General at the
front has done his difficult work ad.
mirably. If a vote cOuld be taken
in the army it would be practically
unanimous against a change of com
