PRESS COMMENT.
WELL DONE.

The Assembly has acted wisely IN
voting that the people of New York
shall be heard before action Is taken
on so momentous n matter rs the pro
hibition amendment to the Constitu-
tion. Despite all arguments to the
contrary, there would always have re-
manned a sense of injury, n feeling that
snap judgment had been taken, If this
State had been committed to revolu-
ton in its customs without It's voters
having a chance, To say whether they
approved or disapproved it. There was
no argument In favor OF this summary
action except that the Constitution named
the Legislatures as the bodies to which
action on constitutional amendments is
committed. The Legislature of New York
will take such action when the time
comes; but it should not take that ac-
tiOn in defiant indifference TO the opin-
ion of the people, and SO far as the As
scmbly il concerned it does not intend to.
The cause of prohif ition will lose
nothing by the deferring of action until
the wishes of the people, men and women
alike, can be ascertalned; or, If IT does.
il will deserve to lose. Whether It loses
or not, the propriety OF consulting the
people is obvious TO them and has now
been recognized by the Assembly. The
Senate and the governor should recognize
it, too. The real force back of a movement
to prevent the people from being heard
has been solely that Of nm anonymous
lobby of unknown inspiration which fear
ed nothing more than an expression of the
popular will Between the wishes of that
lobby and the wishes Of the people the
Senate should not hesitate. 1t should
acquescc in the decision of the Assembly

BREECHES OR TROUSERS

There was q note OF a3perIty IN some
Of the letters asking the sun TO demand
long trousers a. part of the uniform of
civilians TO whom commissions IN the
army are given with no expectation that
they shall ever perform any other than
clerical duty We regret to find this note
in much discussion Of this subject While
it is undoubtedly rue that many Of
these Young civilians obtained their
commissions through social or political
influence, and thereby created resent-
mcnt which is being expressed, and true,
too that the commonplace desk duties
they perform could be as we'll done if they
were civil service app0intees and drew
civil service instead of army officers pay,
there yet may be good reason why some
should hold commissions andwear breeches
polished puttees and spurs.
There may be a reason for the mar
tial uniforms gracefully worn by the
young gentlemen drawing officers sal
aries for sitting in sunny rooms over
looking the romantic Potomac, lei
surely engaged in filing index cards or
making press copies OF form orders Tor
bacon and condensed milk. We make the
suggestion because OF our desire to quiet
resentment until remedy may be applied
to the injustice, if injustice exist.
The War Department may later classify
these commissioned and uniformed clerks
and deprive those who really are per-
forming civil, not martial, duties Of their
puttees and spurs, and drapc their soft
and graceful legs in trousers. Then puttees
whether Of canvas or polished leather, viii
be tokens toaIl who observe that the
wearcrs belong to the fighting men Of the
service, trousers to the gentler but ncces-
sary civil service New lork sun.

Should Sion nj Fifth Street.

When the Coal Administrator for tins
State proposed, as n measure OF economy
in the consumption of fuel, that the
traction company should eliminate a
number of the regular stops then included
in its city service, the managers OF the
traction company, as good citizens, cheer-
fully implied They carefully considered
the proposition and eliminated number
of the customary stops. The argument
for the request for this action by the
trolley company was that additional
current was consumed by starts alter
stops, and that additional current meant
the consumption of more coal. Hence, by
eliminating stops coal would be con-
served.
We have been informed, however, that
the difference in the consumption oi coal
since the new system went INTO elect
and it has had fair trial--has not been
sufficient to be really pcrceptblc 1t Is
apparent, therefore, that the change has
not been practical in respect OF carry
ing out the original purpose on
the other hand, many patrons OF the
trolley lines have been incommoded by
the elimination of some Of the stops. NO
doubt some stops were really unnecessary.
but others were n convenience, and thcir
cessation irritatcs the people There
have been many stories of persons who,
on failure of a car to stop where they were
waiting, and not knowing the reason,
walked instead of taking car at the
nearest stopping place. This is only ma
tural and thereby the traction company
lost although of small amount
and. which is somewhat serious, unwlt-
tingly made enemies where it might have
retained friends.
The elimination Of one of the stops
that at Fifth and Market streets has
proved irritating to quite number OF
trolley riders. 1t had been n favonte
stopping place, and many persons to this
day, forgetting the change and not notIc-
ing the nonstop signs on the poles, wait
there 10 take cars. in either direction,
and only to meet with Disappointment and
to be exceedingly annoyed.
The traction company should not be
subjected 10 the ill-will OF any part Of the
public from this source 1t is now rendering
good service, after an unparalleled struG-
gle yith adverse circumstances which u
could not control. II should have a free
hand in respect of all the details Of opera
fion. At least We suggest that Coal
Administrator Ten Wceges voluntarily
recommend to ,thc managers that they
restore the Fifth and Market streets stop,
and such Others as the company may
deem desirable.

George Avens, living between Troy
and Julaetta, has bought Baby Grand
Chevrolet from the Idaho Garage this
week This firm still has one Baby
Grand Chevrolet and few Oldsmobiles
for sale, but it is getting harder every
day to get cars to supply the demand.
All of the garages in town are crowded
with shop work There are SO many
cars tributary to Moscow and with the
fine roads and good weather there is an
enormous amount of driving done daily.
Cars come from other points to be re-
paired here.
Miss Roth, who bought Baby Grand
from the Idaho garage last week, drove
the car to the Roth home near Linville
yesterday and is delighted with it. She
has already learned to handle it like an
