New York's Transit Tangle.

Three agencies created by the State
Of New York-the Port Authority,
the Transit Commission and New
York city-are now endeavoring to
solve the transportation problem of
this community, and one of them,
the city of New York, refuses stub
bornly to cooperate with the others.
The Port Authority, working un-
der treaty between New York State
and New Jersey, seeks unification of
all transportation facilities, land and
marine, in all parts of the harbor,
so that goods and passengers may be
handled in the most economical and
expeditions manner possible. The
Port Authority has been commits
stoned to develop the territory with
which it deals, not for the immedi-
ate, selfish benefit of one sector or
another but in the way which will
make the best provision for all who
use the water and land approaches
to the country's greatest city and
commercial capital.
The Transit Commission seeks to
coordinate and extend the passenger
carrying railroads of New York's five
boroughs in accordance with a de-
sign which shall make each of them
most useful to the residents of the
city it serves Immediately, and like
wise to contribute to the excellence
and efficiency of the general trans
portation system.
The Port Authority and the Tran
sit Commission wherever their plans
have overlapped have found 1t prac-
ticable to work in harmony.
The city of New York, controlled
by Tammany administration, has
its own scheme to build transporta-
tion lines for passengers and for
freight In New York city, but this
scheme has not been developed in
harmony with either the Port Au-
thority or the Transit Commission.
Instead IT has been projected without
regard TO the larger designs of the
Port Authority or the carefully ma
tured proposals made by the Transit
Commission.
Transportation in New York city
is too great problem to be made the
football of politics, too intricate a
problem to be dealt with piecemeal.
On the wisdom displayed in its solu-
tion the future symmetrical growth
Of the city and the adjacent territory
depends. The facilities provided at
this port for the handling of freight
are of supreme moment to the ma
tional Industrial and trading com.
munity. Thus the situation In this
city is of national interest.
Under these circumstances the
Legislature cannot be expected to
ignore the condition existing here,
particularly as it must enact new
legislation to empower the construc-
tion of practically any transporta-
tion system which may be decided
upon. The Port Authority, the Tran
sit Commission and the city OF New
York are all creatures of the State,
and among its creatures the State
unquestionably has power to say
which shall be first.

A Skeptic on Good Old Times.

To THE New York HERALD Why is
II that when we get to talking of-well.
say the length of women's skirts or the
strength of bootleg whisky. there is al
ways one in the group, usually past two
score and ten, who prefaces his views
with the phrase Now, in the good old
days"
1t is high time that this indictment
of the methods and manners OF to-day
was brought to trial. Let US hear from
the prosecution. When and what were
those good old days? Just show me one
old day that was any better than this,
the goth day of December, A. d. 1921.

Letting Prisones Out.
Judgments OF the Court Oyerrulei
by Outside Agentas.

To THE NEW YORK HERAD: man
in this State had lived lif,of crime
since 1877. He was finally seirnced n
imprisonment for life as a NabituaI
criminal. After serving four Yrs of
this sentence he was released l the
Parole Board on the ground of his ,ood
behavior. He was shortly therester
arrested. accused Of having commi,ed
a crime and of being about to comit
another.
There are many similar instances O
criminals released by the Parole Board
There was very recently an appeal sen
out for calendars for convicts. but will
the Parole Board still going strong i
seems unnecessary; most of the pris
oners are likely to be released befor'
they can compute the date.
The President has seen fit to let on
Of Jail a lot Of prisoners who were sen
there after impartial trials and in ac
cordance with verdicts rendered b,
juries of their peers. They were wher,
tho law Of the land said they should be
1t is startling to learn that several o.
these men were at large on parole.
why should n parole board he allowed
to interfere with the verdict OF a Jur,
and the judgment of court?
If parole board can so interfere why
have criminal courts?
AS soon as a criminal is safely LODGED
in Jail his friends and various persons
with good Intentions set to work to ge
him out regardless of his offense. Th'
argument that the criminal is a "sick'
man has been pressed beyond reason.
Let every criminal know that IL sen
to prison for five years he will serv'
for five years and that his term will
be heightened by his misbehavior.

The Toy.

We wonder II this great, round ball
Is just complicated toy
Tho Father gave his children all.
"A present for their passing Joy.
Before He placed II in our hands
Perhaps He played with 1t a bit,
And tossed Il up from golden strands
In starry spaces glory lit
Who knows what damage happened
thus?
We would do better II we could,
But ever since IL came TO us
1t has not gone the way IL should.

To THE New Yex HERALD: To cut

The Return.

Since you have come again I feel so
still,
And now my heart is like bird that
flies
Along the lower margin Of the skies.
Fearing the wider spaces lest they kill,
Finding the lowlands kinder than the
hill.
Now ] am like some nun whose weary
eyes
Can gaze at last on silent Paradise
Without the slightest whisper of a
thrill:
Or like some pilgrim who has wandered
far.
Only to sink exhausted near his shrine.
Now am like the early morning star
From whom bright daybreak takes the
power to shine,
SO much fear lest having you may mar
The lonesome love that made you
doubly mine.

MIKE Automobiles Smaller.

To THE New York HERALD: Ono OF

Probably if we could educate people

lessen congestion.
