that Woodrow Wilson had without a

OPEN THE NEW SUBWAYS.

URING the last few weeks the ov~crcrowding Of The subway has
become most serious. Never has the jam during rush hours
been more insufferablc. Never have So many people been
caught in closing doors or narrowly escaped being ground to death
between trains and platforms.
To see the c~ose-wedgcd, struggling masses that pack the plat
forms of the Grand Central subway station between $50 and $50
every weekday evening is to marvel that no sudden push or panic has
yet thrown scores of persons under the wheels of some incoming train.
The city stands in desperate need Of its new subways-every sec
ton, every mile-as soon as the most strenuous efforts can make
them ready for use.
To-day the Board Of Estimate and Appointment is expected to
pass a resolution asking the Public Service Commission TO investigate
the constantly increasing subway congestion and see what can be done.
The best thing that can be done needs no discussion: Full speed
ahead with work on the new subwaysL Less talk about why con-
struction is ~behndhand and more assurance that every contractor
is, from now on, to be kept at high pressure until his job is com
pleted. Joseph Pulitzer used to say he could find a hundred men
to tell him why a thing couldn't be done. What he wanted was one
man to tell him how it could be done.
The Public Service Commission has kept up n copious flow Of
reasons why it should not be held accountable for delay in opening
the new subways. What the public would like to hear from the Com
mission now is that the new lines CAN be opened and WILL be
opened as fast as continuous labor under conscientious supervision
can get them ready.

AT ALL LEVELS.

FF1C1AL Investigations demanded by The Evening World after
its exposure Of plots to boost the price Of coal have already
gone deep enough to cause a decided change of spirit in the
local coal market. Despite the cold weather, retail prices Of coal
. throughout the city have not gone above from $715 to Az - a ton.
abnormal as these figures are, there are plenty of signs that the
activity OF Federal Investigators has discouraged spectators who laid
their plans for coal at $e per ton OF higher.
Meanwhile inspectors of the Bureau Of Weights and Measures
have rounded up forty-two coal dealers charged with making short
deliveries during the past two weeks. Here is an excellent instance
# the way the price boosting example is followed all the way down
The line. Most of the forty-two are small pcddlcrs or cellar store
dealers who sell in small quantities to the poor.
Let the big dealer in food, fuel or any other common necessity
exact a heavier profit from the consumer and how quickly the smaller
fry in all kinds Of business conclude the moment is ripe, either by
adding a penny or two to prices or by tinkering with scales and
measures, to exploit the humber public for their own advantage.
This kind of robbery, petty as it is, extends far and wide until it
forms one of the most formidable factors in pricc-raising because il
hears heaviest on those whose %poctctboots are lightcst. Just now the
instinct of exploitation works at all ovcls.

WHY co BACK?

\ FEVER, since the old days when he made hall n million dollars
a year selling cabstand privileges, has the hotel man in this
q y city got over the idea that the taxicab is one of his special
affinites and ought to be % recognized.
He has just sent another delegation to the Mayor to try to per
suade him that public taxicabs, operated under city license, using pub
lie hack stands at public places, giving their patrons the protection
Of the Police and the Department of Licenses, are inadequate, and
that the hotels should be allowed to take a step backward in the dircc
ton Of the old private taxicab service, private hotel stands and pri
yMe graft.
1t won't do. The cty's present taxicab ordinance, for which
The Evening World fought its winning fight, is based on the princi
pies of free streets, open competition and uniform regulation. Again
and again the courts have confirmed these principles and upheld them.
Under the ordinance the tayicab service in New York has dcvel-
opcd, made itself increasingly popular and profitable until now one
company is operating at a twentyccnt rate the bcst-appointcd taxi
cabs the city has yet seen.
New forks taxicab service has thus progressed only since it was
freed from the monopoly, extortion and graft fostcred h the hotel

All this Is folly. Nobody wants to
hear your troubles-leastwise a stran-
ger. Each person has his own. and
telling them to those who are not in

may cause distress. Another bad
habit is hat of talking 80 that every

several persons who overheard every
thing that vas said, which affected
