The Rapid Transit Facts.

AS to the revived issue at Albany
of higher rapid transit fare in this
city, there are now two questions
which must be weighed. One is what
the actual conditions governing the
local traction systems are to-day. The
other is the outlook regarding cheaper
labor. cheaper coal, cheaper every
thing required to maintain and oper-
ate the lines.
IL the traction companies could pre-
serve their solvency and perform their
work through reduced costs of doing
their business rather than through
heavier charges on the public, it goes
without saying that this would be
better for everybody. But if they
cannot, then it is as serious matter
for the New York public as for the
traction bondholders and stockholG-
ers. The Legislature and the public
need all the facts as they stand at
present and as they promise for the
future.
One thing we do know. 1t is that
the people of New York city have a
right to the best rapid transit that
money can provide. They can't get
along without the very best. But it
is dead certainty that the traction
interests never can provide that very
best out of bankrupt treasures.

Wholesome Young Folks.

The Rev. DR.. GUsTAvE Christensen
Of Holyrood Church delivered d SER
mon before the students of st. Ste
phen's College, Annandale-on-H Hudson,
Sunday, in~which he declared it to be
his opinion that the young women and
young men of to-day were neither
wild nor immoral. Such a declara-
tion is enough out of the ordinary to
merit more than casual attention.
That DIR. CARsTENsEN's Judgment

knowledged, we believe, by every OBJ
servant person who takes the trouble

fetal inquiry. 1t will be opposed by
those who accept as typical the es-
capades Of exceptional young persons
whose conduct brings them into no.
torlety, and whose misconduct fire.
quently furnishes excuse for denun-
ciatory generallzations in which the
youngsters of to-day are compared to
their great disadvantage with the
youngsters of generation ago.
There are several reasons for such
quick adverse decisions concerning
contemporaneous youth. Man Is
gifted in forgetting the pranks he
played in his gay days. He often
seeks to impress on his juniors the
belief that from childhood he pos
sessed the poiSe and exercised the
self-restralnt Of maturity. Perhaps
he wants to clear his memory Of an
occasional embarrassing reminder
Consequently he exaggerates the de-
fects of those who find pleasure In
diversions which no longer amuse or
interest him, and attributes to their
practitioners weaknesses which they
do not renlly possess.
To publish an Indictment OF some
body else, particularly when it is so
phrased as TO include class and
thus involves no possibility Of libel

When You Get at the Facts.

In the Municipal Court of the Sec
ond district, The Bronx, $50 land.
lord and tenant cases came before
Justice RoBITzEK yesterday, and Mrs.
JOHN JUsTUs, who owed $3.50 on
her December rent and $21, 80 on her
January rent. told her story thus:
Your Honor. my landlady. Mrs.
FRIEDMAN, has been lenient. but 1
just can't pay my rent
II have eight children, one Grip
pied, and my husband. who is me-
chanic. recently had his pay cut 10
per cent. and now is working only
three days a week"
Immediately a landlord present to
press a case against tenant moved
that the court suspend its judicial
work for moment. Justice RoBIT-
EEK put his hand In his pocket and
produced banknote. Landlords,
court clerks, tenants, bailiffs, specta-
tors followed his example, as their
purses suggested. Mrs. JUsTUs's rent
for December, January and February
was paid, and $3.50 was left with
Justice RoBITZEK TO be expended as
his wisdom suggested. This having
been satisfactorily accomplished, Jus
tice resumed her sway.
We do not suggest that every case
Of delinquent tenant should be dis
posed Of as was that OF Mrs. JUsTUs
The process of dispossessiOn Is justi

delinquencies of many tenants can
not be made up by popular subscrip

quently overlooked: that landlords
and Municipal Court Justices and ten.
ant litigants and bailiffs and court
hangers on are pretty much the same
when their titles are stripped from
them, and that they respond alike tc
sound appeals TO their charity. These
truths are worth bearing In mind the
next time we hear the yap of an agi.
tator who seeks to set up classes In
the population and TO array them
against each other In the transaction
Of public affairs.
