T° EVENING WORLD invites attention to one effect of the new taxicab ordinance which appears at the very outset. Of the first forty-five cabs which applied for licenses yes- terday under the new regulations the Bureau of Licenses passed only veven. The other thirty-cight were turned down because of /ilapida- tion, worn out interiors, narrow seats, failure to provide place inside for the rate schedule, cic. These cabs will not be allowed to do basiness until they have satisfied every requirement. The favorite argoment of the hotel men against abolishing pri vate stands has been that under the public stand rule they could not find safe, comfortable taxicabs for their guests, The way the Bureau of Licenses begins its work is conclusive answer. The old m of privileged service and lax regulation not only fostered exorbitant rates lt also encouraged a ragged outlaw fleet of irresponsible, unsafe and dirty cabs, The new ordinance, as en- forced by the Bureau of Licenses, puts a sharp command upon every licensed taxicab in the city to come up to a minimum standard of ae “The Evening World Daily Magazine.

HATEVER flaws can be found in the Fusionist list of can- W didates, it remains first and last a ticket of experts. Those named to carry on the job of city government are for the most part men who know their trade from having worked at it.

George McAneny ie a municipal expert who has brought imagination as well as practical sense to the duties of Borough President. Being a live-wire District-Attorncy is nothing new for Charles 8. Whitman, and Cyrus ©. Miller and George Cromwell have plentifully handled the affairs of their respective boroughs. Much ie to be sgid for a list of candidates in which almost every ‘Bame is a guarantee of familiarity with the complicated duties of the office involved. No tickit can please everybody, but the Fusionists are fortunate in having picked a slate that stands for experience, first hand knowledge and tho test of past service. —— “Don't lose faith in men,” advises a woman who has Just se- cured a divorce and thirty or forty thousand a year alimony from one of them.
