| Asam, THOUGHTS AFTER A SHOWER. EW YORK has had « chance to file away a few reminders from the record rainfall of Thursday night. Householders and hotel:keepers whose ceilings and carpets mete ruined because they carelessly let their roof leaders become clogged, causing the water to back up and flood through their sky- lights, will have more foresight in future. Such of their neighbors as are wise will take warning. The Interborough may assure itself that its boasted electric pumps are powerless in the subway when it comes to a downpour. Also the public has reason to demand why hundreds of passengers were forced to steam and swelter in trains etalled between stations— in some cases in darkness—when traffic handlers must have known that trains could not get through. What has become, furthermore, of the independent lighting ayst¢m which the Interborough promised to establish in every car for just such emergencies? One thing New Yorkers knew already was forcibly brought home to them during the deluge of Thureday evening. There are plenty of taxicab brigands in the city who seize every chance to gouge the public with insolent and outrageous overcharges. Helpless patrons that night were forced to pay as much an $10 to ride a few blocks. With the new ordinance in full operation such impudent extortion would be impossible. So long as court orders hold up the law taxicab bandits will hold up the public. — + ‘The arrest of Jerome may be taken as a desperate effort on the part of Canada to prove that she can draw the line somewhere. ——_<42- PENSIONS FOR DEPENDENT MOTHERS. HE PLEA made at the national conference at Buffalo by Rob- ert W. Hebberd, Seoretary of the State Board of Charities, on behalf of pensions for dependent mothers, serves to recall public attention to a needed change in the system of State charities and State education. The pi it Legislature appropriated $15,000 to defray the expenses of a commission to investigate the advisability rpm The Evening World Daily Ma of establishing such a syetem ofjpensions in this State, but the com- mission has never organized. M&. Hebberd’s plea was timely. There is nothing of radical socialism in the proposed reform. The State is now and has for s long time been engaged in the care and education of children of parents who are unable to perform those duties. The present system, however, takes the child away from the helpless mother and confides it to the care of some form of institu- tional charity maintained by either the State or a church. The proposed system leaves the child with the mother, conserves the fam- ily and gives help to the home instead of breaking it up. The advantages of the home pension hardly need arggiment. The experiment hes been tried in Mlinois and in other States and has been found to work well. It is not only better as a method of child- training but more economical. —_———————— Testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commissioner showed that the New York, New Haven and Hartford managers never punished employees for disobeying the rules.
