Pp. Downtown Car Terminal Superintendent Murphine’s proposal to establish a down town car terminal which will, at one and the same time, Promote better service and eliminate transfer troubles, sav- ing to the municipality nearly $200,000 year from that source ¢ is worthy of early consideration Tt is quite as Mr, Murphine points out, such a terminal will pay for itself by rentals from conces sions and advertising space. The site chosen, the block be tween Bell and Blanc! bounded by Second and Third avenues, is a couple of minutes’ walk from the heavily congested Pike-street district, and yet it is sufficiently far away to bring the cost within a comparatively modest figure. The advantages to the citizens generally will be manifold. With the one-way systems on Second and Third avenues, ears running south on one street and north on the other, much of the congestion will be relieved. Delays due to the issuance of transfers and to the numerons points of trans- fer, will be a thing of the past. UnderAlurphine’s plan, all ears that are routed downtown will come to this depot. AS- Sengers who come into the depot will need no transfe They will simply board whatever car they want. Their Presence within the depot will mean that they are entitled to ride on any car. Both the printing of transfers and “cheating” eliminated. Various other improvements could be out—and service, which is the main point with the Public, will without question be much improved. The terminal can be established at once—and can serve a useful purpose while awaiting the completion of the subway and elevated lines—which also must come, if we are to in- crease in numbers as we have in the past. conceivable that nard streets, will be worked general All progress labor has ever made towards better work- ing conditions and higher wages is the result of public help and public sympathy. Every union man holding mublic office has been elected by votes of the general public. If any one of these men had declared that he in- tended to represent only one class he would not have re- i all the votes of even that class.

What The Star in-| sists upon is that this crime of sedition be clearly defined ; Then let those who violate the law suffer the penalty. The Star is against any curtailment of the right of free press and the right of free speech. And The Star is also inst the present espionage law, which offers an excuse if not a justification, for the guilty, to cloak their crimes under this American principle. We trust the old dame of journalism is feeling better since gulping that full page glandular treatment ad Sunday. We never once thought about the old party's glands being out of kilter. It was so much like a liver case. Funny how times and morals change. Justa few months ago, while the consort of a “different owner- ship,” the venarble lady swore of f on these fake remedies. A Greater Than Kings “King Albert, his bronze face grave and his lips tightly set, the first king of Europe to seek lessons in America, uncovered as he stepped within the shadow of Lincoln's tomb, bearing his wreath of white flowers,” dispatch. And thru future ages other kinds shall come, bearing tributes! Lincoln is to democracy what Christ is to civilization. Whatever the title of the potentate, if he have the tiniest spark of liberty and justice in his soul, in person or in heart he must, sometime, lay flowers upon the tomb of Lincoln, just as there shall be none too proud, too rich, too powerful, to kneel at the cross of the Nazarene. How deep and sincere must have been the feeling of the| democratic ruler of devastated Belgium as he stood at the! tomb of a ruler whose country was torn and blasted by brother against brother, father against son, neighbor against neighbor!

The path of amendments leads but to the waste basket.
