May Reap as They Have Sown.

NEW YORK CITY is in the throcs of a city
~ election 1t is having one of its periodic
October spasms of virtue. 1t is denouncing Tam
many and lawessness; Tammany and waste; Tam
many and misrule and so through the usual list.
1t is good to hear and would lead the novice to
think New York actually had a conscience. Closer
reading, however, will show that New York is
only Directing to taxes and the use OF its tax
money. There is not note of morals, not tone
of shame and not hint OF any sense OF responsE
bility for this condition.
Jerome K. Jerome once a political hrebrand'
has reappeared after long retirement and in the
opening of his first speech said: AFTER sixteen
years sitting on the side lines, there is so little
real spirit so little real sense Of shame, so little
real Indignation left in the people of the City OF
New York, that they have to pull out an old has
been like me to tell them" Why should Mr..
Jerome be surprised? Why should he expect in
this campaign more than make-oeheVe and
hope on the part of the that the women S
vote may save them from their own self-abase-
ment?
For three years every New York newspaper
has rallied at prohibition and openly advocated
lawlessness as to the liquor traffic. They have
declared the law could not be enforced and should
not be enforced. They have encouraged boot
Logging. The morals OF the situation has not in
spirit of loyalty, no regard for good government
has Influenced them. The liquor laws have been
a financial loss to the business of the city and
against this national degradation and law defiance
does not weigh.
Quite equally the immigration law has been
attacked and rdiculed. It, too is not to the citys
financial interest. Does New York think it can
have this attitude toward certain laws and not
have others violated? Does it think it can have
this general attitude as to law enforcement and
the citys interests and have honesty in city gov
eminent? Does it think it can sow this sort OF
seed in its business interests and not reap a like
harvest in politics? The betting in Wall Street is
, to I in favor of Tammanys candidate. Business
New York is calling in desperation on the women
to save It from itself, to prevent its sins from
being further visited upon it. and if saved, it will
be by the women's vote, that unknown factor
with which Wall Street has not yet learned to
reckon in elections.

Thankful to Herald,

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
! wish to thank The Herald for
calling the attention of the trafic
ofncials Of their disregard Of the
rights Of pedestrians. As the frst
advocate OF rights of the public
against the reckless carelessness,
approaching criminality, practiced
by autoists when so many people
were killed or MANNED, we appre-
ciated The Herald's action and felt
that much Of the good results was
due thereto.
Now that The Herald has dis
covered 60 the present total disre-
gard Of the rights Of pedestrians,
il is hoped that pedestrians may get
a better chance to cross the streets.
as The Herald says. the police
mans service is confined to vehicles
and through his anxiety to move
them along they are induced 20 vio-
late the speed regulations by rush
ing at his back across the street al
a twenty-five to forty-mile rate. ana
this without notice Of pedestrians.
am afraid to try crossing al
corners, but cross in the middle OF
the block for safety. in spite OF the
howl of the jayhawker AUTOS;
against the ''jsywsIker" walkist.

OF their engines.- They do not have to do the
-hostlerings nor any work as mechanics or ma
ehinists on the locomotive. This was once re-
quited without extra pay. These arc samples of
the rules. all having their good features and all
capable of abuse.
1t is one thing for engineman not to be
required to do the work of machinist, and an
other to hold train for an hour or hours be-
cause of some defect the engineer or fireman could
have repaired in few minutes. There are cases
OF short runs when the engineman might we'll do
the hostlering There have been instances in the
building trades when three men were required to
do piece of repairing which did not take over
fifteen minutes and should not have cost, includ-
ing materials, over so cents It is different in
railroad operation under certain of the union rules
1t is these abuses of rules well certain
Of the rules themselves, which the managers insist
must be changed or revoked. 1t is these which
are claimed to cost in the aggregate many millions
of dollars. To the bad ones the union leaders
are making the mistake of a strike which, il not
won, will annul all of them. The Labor Board
has ordered some changes, but it is quite beyond
doubt that it will not annu any of the older ones
which have been the gradual gain of years and
which as fact, increase efficiency by penalizing
the roads for inefficency.

signals involved in the movements
Of vehicles, and so tend TO reduce
the possibility of accidents. find
that some pedestrians now know
the signals supposed to be given by
drivers. and upon seeing such sig
nails properly displayed govern their
movements accordingly. Many Of
our drivers are, however, either too
lazy or too ignorant to give these
signals properly, and many of the
pedestrians are entirely unacquaint-
ed with them. II, then, through
proper means of dissemination,
more of our drivers and pedestrians
can be apprised of the rules and
signals both groups would undoubt-
edly find conditions far safer and
much more satisfactory
