Poor Car Service.

A citizen has complained to the pub
lie utilities commission against the in
adequate street car service rendered by
the local companies, referring to the
commissions order of last November
which established standard of service
for the District as failing of observance
and enforcement. Recognizing that at
certain hours of the day the street cars
are necessarily crowded, when the crush"
occurs, he urges that at other hours
there is no reason why the service should
not be frequent and sufficient.
That there is ground for complaint on
the score of inadequate car service is
evident to any person who watches the
street cars at different hours Of tho
day and notes the excessive number of
passengers carried and also the lapses
between cars on some of the lines. It is
certainly not good service when in pop
ulous sections of the city person has
to wait nearly fifteen minutes for q car
during the middle of the day or during
the early evening. It is assuredly not
good service when the average depart
ment worker going to his Office in the

lines have, and improve, large oppor-

lines have, and improve, large oppor-
tunities for money-making.
Strictly speaking, neither the soldier
nor the sailor could be adequately COM
pensated in money. He does not ex-
pect to be. What he contributes is not
in hope of money reward. Something
higher and more valuable than coin in
fuences him. He does not seek the vel
low stuff at the lannon's mouth.
Nevertheless, both soldier and sailor
should be we'll paid. Both should re-
ceive every assurance of appreciation on
the part of those whose interests they
are protecting, guns in hand.
We started in this war by raising the
soldiers stipend. 1t remains small, but
the raise represents the respect of the
people for the employment secured. It
may in time reach better igure-one
in some measure compensatory.
AS respects pensions, America has a
fine record. The needy survivors of the
force that fought the civil war, and the
families of those who in that struggle
gave 'the last full measure of devotion"
to the Union, have been well cared for
by grateful country. No appropria-
lions in the past half century have been
so well and generally approved as those
for this purpose. The criticism now
and then heard has been of small vol
ume and little consequence.
That this policy will be pursued
toward those now preparing for action
is a certainty. Their claims upon the
country when the war is over will be as
great as those of the men who fought
the civil war, and will be as promptly
and literally allowed. The families of
those who have died in action will be-
come honored charges of the govern
ment, while the disabled survivors will
be assisted to their comfort during the
remainder of their lives.

morning and returning homo in the
evening is compelled to stand through
out the run or for four 6fths Of it, and
is made by experience happy if he gets
a safe standing space within the car. It
is not good service when the car plat
forms are permitted to be so crowded
that ingress and egress are difficult and
even at times dangerous. It is not good
service when open cars are so over
loaded that passengers are standing be-
tween the seats at the knees Of those
who have come earlier and obtained
seats. Yet all Of these and other con-
ditions of like character obtain at this
time on the local street railways. The
seven-square-foot standard has evident
ly been ignored, or, if it is being en-
forced, it is not sufficient.
On one of the lines strike has oc-
CURED since the commissions order took
effect. and for some time that system
was disorganized. The strike, however,
is over and there is no reason for made
quacy of service on that line. The com
mission owes it to the public to require
better showing on the score of car
frequency, not only at the rush hours
but at other times Of the day.
