Unre"ponSiVe Police,

UnreSDOnSIve Police.
To the Editor OF The Evening World:
AS was escorting two young la
dies home last Sunday night in the
vicinity Of SA Marks Avenue and
Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, with
friend of mine, we noticed a gang OF
young fellows standing down the
street about five doors from where
we were standing. Suddenly a fight
started. Milk bottles were flying
around freely, somebody was blow
ing a POLICE whistle, somebody else
was leaning out Of n window scream
ing, and there was quite a commo-
tion around there for about a half
hour.
During that time about three po-
licemen came running up-NOT. All
who heard the whistle must have
run the other way. We were there
for about an hour after that and up
to the time we left there had not
been a cop in sight.
IL that Is the kind OF a police force
the taxpayers are supporting in this
| city II would serve them right 70
have to pay taxes about twice as
heavy.
| / might mention that the fight did
not stay on that block only, but II
went around on Classon Avenue for
about ten minutes, and then went
around on Bergen Street and fin
lshed up after about fifteen minutes
more of fighting around there.
Whether you publish this or not,
Just thought / would call your at
tentiOn TO this as the taxpayers Ia
th!s city are getting stung on enough
other things without the police forcC
cheating them at the same time.

POLITICAL CAPITAL.

NIN one country" lgnace Jan PaderewSki, recent
Prime Minister Of Poland, said 10 The World
correspondent, "Poland's present position IS being
used to make political capital"
American comment on this statement cannot af-
ford to overlook country in which the whole world
war; including its purposes its sacrifices and the
chief hope built on its results, is being misused TO
make political capital
Before the amlsHce was declared the United
States was to all appearances united Nation
spurning the suggestion of a separate peace with
Germany determined to stand with the Allies be-
yopd as well as up to the victory, eager to join in
plan for permanently reducing the probability of
war;
When the fighting ceased and the great peril was
over, what happened?
A political party in the United States proceeded
to tear the permanent peace project to taers in the
hope that some of the rags might serve for party
capital in an approaching Presidential campaign,
A Lodge rose up to confuse the American people
as to what they had been fighting for.
A Knox was ready TO make separate peace with
Germany pass for pure patriotism.
And now Harding asks TO be elected President
of the United States in order that Republican SEN
atorial oligarchy may completely reverse the Ma
tons foreign policy.
Whatever Americans thought they were fighting
for sufficient result will have been achieved if the
Republican Party is restored to full power!

IN PLACE OF A PARENT.

MOT long ago The Evening World remarked
' that many youthful transgressions which were
formerly corrected in the woodShed are now taken
TO court.
An incident in New Jersey last Saturday is an ex-
celent illustration.
Police Recorder Lander of West Orange imposed
an unusual sentence on six wayward lads who looted
fruit stands in the town. Every evening for month
these youngsters are required to go TO bed at half
past six and stay there till morning
For month at least these boys ARE reasonably
safe from temptation. In the long twilight hours II
is TO be presumed that the youths will have oppor-
tnity TO mediate on their iniquity and suffer
change of heart
In another instance last week a court took cog
nzance of the boyshneSS of boys and handed down
the opinion that railroad company was liable for
injury to youngSter who climbed pole and came
in contact with live wire.
II is boy nature to climb poles, the court decided,
and the railroad company is in irty bound to take
precautions accordingly.
II is by no means certain that the increasing at
tention which the courts pay to children is an un-
mihgated blessing. Homely parental punishment
of generation ago was rather successful in correct
ing faults.
But If we are to have the courts acting in place of
the parent II is encouraging to note the repeated
instances in which judges exercise good sense and
parental judgment in dealing with juvenile cases

EXTENSlON Of lnterborough subway service to
L. Utica Avenue and the opening of the Nostrand
Avenue line opens great and populous territory
which will now have access to the business centre
Of Manhattan at a cent fare.
Thickly settled as much Of Brooklyn is, there is
nothing like the crowded housing conditions that
prevail in many districts of Manhattan.
The better the transit facilities the more equal
will be the distribution of population. FlatbuSh is
now on par with upper Manhattan in accessibility
to the business area Of lower Manhattan. This ap-
plies to time, fare, and drectneSs Of connections
Every development in transit connections means
that business will continue to concentrate in Manhat-
tan and that residents of Manhattan will be forced
into other boroughs.
The prospect of further subway development in
dicateS that census returns for Manhattan will con-
tinue to grow smaller, even though the city as
whole grows as rapidly as ever.

IVI State that no person has an inherent right
10 operate motor vehicle. II is privilege
license"
This reminder from Magistrate House of the Traf-
fic Court is timely The roii of automobile hofni
cides makes il so.
In the eyes of the law the motor car is prac-
tically on par with firearms explosives and other
deadly and dangerous agencies of destruction. The
State intends to keep motor vehicles out of the
hands of those who cannot safely be trusted with
them.
EInendS," II must be admitted is as far as the
State now goes We have beginning Of the laws
needed to make the streets safer for pedestrians,
but only beginning. Magistrate House says I'VE
need more stringent laws"
However, we have not the machinery to enforce
the laws we have. The Traffic Magistrate states:
My own judgment is that person should
be permitted to operate a motor vehicle unless
he goes through thorough examination to
show that he understands something OF the
mechanism of his and has some mental
aptitude for running II. Many people come
before the Traffic Court with licenses who, II
had the hsensing power. would never get
them.
At present the license examiners are so overloaded
with work that an adequate examination of appF-
cants is impossible. Nor is the form of examina-
ton adequate to protect the public.
New laws and new machinery for enforcing the
laws are necessary II the motor car Is to be bless

public 10 make the demand for safety so over
wheIming that legislators will provide the safety

The American who recently declared that, on the

IMPOSING ON THE CREDULoUs.

n nEFERRlNG to the Cox and Roosevelt charges
IN OF Republican Slush funds, VIII Hays, in his
speech at Augusta, Said:.
Their purpose is plain. They can hardly
hope 70 deceive the thoughtful. but they do
mean TO impose upon the credulous. DO not
belieTv they can do t."
Coy. Cox promises to produce the evidence to
back up his slush fund charges. II he IS unable to
do so, Mr. Hays. will have valid ground for criti-
csm Candidates and leaders should not seek to
'mposc upon the credulous."
But does Mr. Hays display good judgment in
throwing rocks from the glass-nclosed conservatory
he occupies? In the same speech he said;
"The women Of America will not consent tO
enter upon obligations which will require you
TO send your boy to a foreign place to settle
foreign troubles under the order Of foreign
powers"
Such statement will not deceive the thought
ful.T II is an effort to 'impose upon the credu-
lous." Mr. Hays cannot cite any passage in the
Covenant Of the League of Nations which conferS
on any foreign power or combination of powers the
right 10 "order' one American soldier to do any
thing.
It's true Mr.. Hays does not say in so many words
that the Covenant does this. The inference, how
ever, is plain. It Is an attempt to "impose upon the
credulous." The statement IS an echo of Hard
ing's echo of Lodge. With the exception of Re-
publican appeals to hyphenism this playing upon
houghtless credulity has constituted the entire Re-
publican attack.

Comment on Mitten'u Service.
To the Editor Of The Evnins World;
They should back Mr.. Mitten,"
your editorial OF Thursday the 18th.
No doubt you intend to give an
Unbiased opinion of Mr.. Mitten. but 1t
must be on account of your unfamil-
iarity with Mr.. Mitten's Science OF
management" that you fail TO do so.
Mr.. Mittens theory is "the mini
mum amount Of cars for the maxi
mum amount of people" His surveys
/ show the numbers boarding and leav-
ing cars at all busy street corners
during rush hours and the least
amount OF cars that will transport
these people he puts in operation.
The near side" cars OF the r.. ~ T.
are the ones mostly in use. These
cars seat about forty-five people and
when ninety people are loaded in they
Inre uncomfortable. Yet Mr.. Mitten's
lhlrelinEs Jam $50 people or more In
each car. This condition Is unbear-
liable Yet this Is only part OF Mr..
Mitten's scheme.
Another part is his. increased fare,
! Philadelphia never had a straight O.
cent fare Even last year after Mr.
Mitten had shortened some lines and
rerouted others, the average fare (peI
revenue pasenger) was over CENTS
His scheme now Is for cents. and
the elimination OF most transfer and
exchange points. This simply means
that the fare will be Increased from
cents TO 10 cents for a great number
of workers. The rest of the country
Is being misled as to Philadelphia
trolley fares.

He has a scheme whereby certain
percentage OF the profits Is laid
