suggests reasons which may perhaps
have prompted that laws revision.
As a prohibition State Georgia un-
doubleday felt that she owed It to her.
self to Q to 1t that the lives Of her
public barroom patrons are properly
safeguarded, and this last change in
the prohibition laws would seem to
be clearly a tentative step in that
direction.
If a citizen elected to sip his month.
~ allowance Of seven and a half gal
Ions Of mixed whiskey, wine and beer
at a sitting w might expect almost
anything from him except decorous
conduct But evidently this would be
quite an exceptional taste in the mat
ter Of refreshment. Besides even II
he did take on board all this formi.
dable load Of liquid ballast at one
time he would probably not be so npt
to run amuck with n knife In q pub
lie barroom under the new law as he
would under the old. To begin with,
under the new law, as indeed under
the old. there are nc public barrooms.
Moreover under the new law the seven
and a half gallon monthly drunk
equipment must be shipped from be-
yond the State borders to the con.
sumer at his residence. This is dis
tinctly in the direction Of domesticity
as opposed to publicity. Whatever
propensities toward indiscriminate
murder might be developed would be
nor apt to be confined to the home
circle. avoiding scandal.
1t Ia all a little confusing. perhaps.
but We are glad to note that the
Georgia Legislature passed unani-
mously an indignant denial Of the
statement Of a prominent Anti-Saloon
Lacquer. specifically named, that the
rum element helped to prolong the
flibuster against the new law by keep
ing the prohibition members blind
drunk while the bill was pending.

A Proper Regard for the Opinion
Of Others.

California, Texas. Minnesota and
other States are bidding brave sums
I secure for some favOrite city one
Or both Of next years national pOliti-
cal conventions. Why, one wonders.
Yet II greater wonder Is that the real
wishes of a majority of probable dele
gates are not needed, and New York
selected for both conventions.
1t would work good In many ways
u~nsuspected by simple New Workers
to have the thousands who attend
those gatherings entertained In this
pleasant place for a week; to dis
abuse the minds of many Of the fixed
idea that a gun is a necessary com-
panion for n stroller on Broadway,
that "Wall Street" would corrupt,
capture or stampede the convention
for its devilish purposes.
Such notions prevail to m extent
that is funny or pathetic, as n hap
pens to regard the matter.

Tag the Cridlron Warriors!

Not in foreign or domestic relations
and affairs is there so pressing and
attractive n problem as that which
is presented by football teams that
refuse to mark the players for easy
identification by those who pay two
good dollars rental for n stone seat
in the amphitheatre of intercollegiate
sport. Something must be done.
Football crowds do not ask what
was the play, but who made It.
Interest Is personal, not technical.
Twenty-Five players in red or blue
jerseys huddle in n thrashlng mass
in midfeld, a hundred yards or so
away from the spectator whose perch
happens to he on the rim of the bowl
or the highest alp of the concrete
structure. There is n rum: Who
made that fine Interference? Who
carried the ball? Who made the
opening for him, and who tackled?
Princeton. Dartmouth and some other
teams wear numbers, and gain I'm pop
ularity. Yale and Harvard act "the
public be darned," and the public
darns them. Harvard's willy coach ia
said to believe that his deceptive
plays would be spoiled If his men
we're numbered. Bosh!
The public he happy! 1t puts up
1t should not have TO put up with this
scOrnful Indifference to its fair de-
mands. When the rule makers meet,
as they soon will, let them decree
that football players shall wear num-
bers. as do the athletes Of the cinder
path. They have the power.

Song and the Police.

The general belief that a mar who
has no music in his soul Is fit for
tres sons. stratagems and spells gives
sanction to the effort presently to be
made to set the police force Of this
city to singing.
The silent, frequently majestic dig
nifty Of the average patrolman has its
admirable points but does not add TO
the gayety Of nations. The world
will be a much merrier place when
every guardian Of the law MARBLES at
his work. A prisoner who is being
run In" to a station house to the
joyous notes Of a lively chorus will
find In the musical method employed
u spiritual uplift that may make him
a better man ut once.
The application OF music to the treat
ment Of various kinds of V dis
eases has been successfully employed,
and the power of song is now an es-
tablished scientific fact. That 1t can
be used In the war against crime as
we'll as In the fight against disease is
highly probable. 1t IL conceivable that
a burglar about to enter u house at
midnight for unlawful purposes might
pause, reflect and even repent II there
came to him at that crisis the beauti-
full voice Of a light hearted patrolman
enlivening his beat by scraps of I'm
mortal song.
The average precinct station house
Is a gloomy and depressing place,
Stunned as far as is practicable by
the average citizen. But If it can he
made a centre of divine harmonies, n
source from which would radiate
Over an entire neighborhood the ele-
waiting influence Of choral music, its

tude would be removed at once.

ton house and listening In rapt enjoy

men setting. 50 to speak. the blotter

by all means let our policemen

A New Station Ordered.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Ate,
hearing testimony from scores OF wit.
nesses. including the Rev. Father Muir.
ply, Congressman william Bennett. Sen.
ator George w. Simpson. Alderman
Frank Mullen and Assenbly1nan Daniel
Oliver. the Public Service Commission
has decided that there is need for a new
elevated station at 150th street and
Eighth avenue, and acting In accord.
ance with it's findings the commission
has ordered the PETERBOROUGH to begir
the erection of a suitable station as
soon as plans can be perfected.
The decision OF the commission marks
the ending Of a valiant fight made by
hundreds Of persons interested In the
erection of an elevated station at the
point mentioned. In the face Of ad-
verse circumstances n the legal tech
nicalities thrown in their way by the
legal force OF the lnterborough the
persons who will benefit by q new sta
ton have struggled against seemingly
impossible conditions until at last their
struggles nave been rewarded by the
knowledge that the management of the
elevated road must take ~cognizance OF
the needs OF a >rction of Harlem the
Inhabitants of which must depend upon
the elevated system because of the in
accessibility of tho subway.
One OF tho strongest points brought
out at one OF the hearings before the
commission In support of the need OF
a new station is that the district at
fected has a population of almost IL. 500
persons. 1t is estimated that about
5000 of this number will make use OF
the new station when II is completed
At the present time those who prefer
the elevated to other lines Of travel
must walk to either the 18th street
or the li5th street station. In the case
Of the former station much objection
has been cited against II because It is
tho terminus OF the elevated road and
II hes In an isolated section OF Harlem
where the streets are dark and lonesome.
In fact, conditions are such that many
girls and women shun the locality in
the evenings. preferring to alight at
l45th street. HARLEMIrR.
