F'- YEARS ago last month Police Commissioner Bingham | 98.60/One Year. ne Month sent an order from Headquarters to every precinct in the) city directing the police to do their utmost to suppress un- necessary noises. Five years ago last month First Deputy Police Commissioner | Baker declared: | Our men have been instructed to strictly enforce the | general order dealing with unnecessary noises. This is to be | me temporary campaign; we intend to smother the needless racket permanently, This is ne “play” crusade, but a serious matter, Five years ago last month another Deputy Police Commis- Gioner said: ‘The crusade against needless noises is here te stay. That General order was no plaything; ft meant just what it said, We are glad to see that the Public Service Commission fas taken action toward allaying the needless racket created by defective equipment of the street railway companies, Five years ago last month William R. Willcox, then Chairman of the Public Service Commission, announced: ' We intend to do everything in our power to obviate the Reedless noises of city transportation lines. Carelessness as to condition of equipment and trackage has been a prime cause of much needless noise, We intend te follow this problem until we obtain permanent results. . Three months later a woman resident of the city reported to the New York Legislative League: ; Every time a car strikes the turn at the corner where my home stands it screeches “Whee-e-ce!” in a way that goes through you like a jagged knife. We complained to the com- pany and a man was sent to grease the rails. He greased them for two weeks, them gave it up, and the cars are screeching worse than ever, FT We've complafned im every quarter and it does ne good. How many thousand New Yorkers could tell the same story about the same intolerable noise and a hundred others equally needless that stab and tear at their nerves to-day? What happened to the “serious crusade” and its “permanent results”? Did the police grow dealt Has the Public Service Commission gone out of business! OO 1 will not resume the production of the play ("The Lure”) in the form in which it was performed, but will ask the author to rewrite it so that there will be no sub- stantial objection from any quarter—Lee Shubert, The Evening World made no mistake when it called upon public decency and good sense to come to the rescue of the stage. The Drama in New York has taken down the “Red Light.” ——_-+ THEY STILL THINK US MONSTERS. GREISH as this country has already been made to appear to South American eyes, the Argentine anti-American agitator AOgarte can always find fresh crimes to lay at our door. Besides raising the old cry that the Monroe Doctrine really means “South America for the North Americans,” Ugarte is now, according to a Sun despatch, throwing out sinister hints that all the Central ‘American presidents, who hated the United States even as he does, were put out of the way either by the assassin’s knife or by violent and mysterious attacks of indigestion, aha! With desperate haste must Brazil, Chile, Uraguay and the Argen- tine get together a big navy. For as soon as the United States has swallowed Central America it means to continue the meal to the Straits of Magellan. The immediate cause of this particular outburst seems to have been the arrival of a railroad magnate whose coming is taken to herald a North American invasion. But Senor Ugarte and his ravings are but one sign among many. Not long ago when a party of members of the Boston Chamber of Commerce reached Buenos Ayres they found an editorial in an English newspaper of that city proclaiming that in all probability the ultimate purpose of this tour was to lead the way to the eventual annexation of Sonth America by the United States, Thrifty Germans with an eye to business are naturally not exerting themselves to suppress horrible tales of the Monroe Doctrine and the colossal grabbing instincts of Uncle Sam. Every intelligent observer who returns from South America brings fresh evidence of the astounding degree to which every act of this country is misread and misunderstood. We have sent down far too many swaggering business representatives and elip-shod Consuls who have only added to the misunderstanding. Other nations that are seeking the South American trade—and getting it, too—have not deemed it beneath their dignity to take pains, learn the language and squander a little politeness on these lively young republics. There is no reason why this country should not lay aeide its rough and ready airs and do likewise. something more to South America than the big neighbor with the greedy manners who stole Panama, Letters From the People | cH ip. of work in New York ‘To the Editor of The Evening World: roadway to a job, Can a young man born tn the United gs writh hp kno wlad States vote without taking out his cit- upposed institutions ot mins fgen papers whose father ts not a sn but experience teaches the; citizen?
