Year. Mon: UP TO BROOKLYN PRIMARIES. » ee Pac The Evening World®published from the reports of the Public Service Commission an elaborate table of statistics showing that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has de- Greased the number of cars running on its elevated lines in the face of @n enormously increasing traffic. Thus, in 1900, the number of cars pperated was 993 and the number of passengers carried was 58,400,582, In 1912, the latest year for which complete figures are given, the @umber of passengers had increased to 172,195,229, but the number of gars fell to 928. In 1913 these had been increased only to 936. | Protests against conditions resulting from such opposing factors $n the traffic problem of #0 large a population have been continuous, hey have been made to the B. RK. ‘I. management and to the Public Bervice Commission. Thpse to the managoment have been: either @isregarded, evaded or dismissed as unreasonable. Some of those to the Commission have had a hearing and received a promise of redress, aut not redress itself. In fact, the rond has treated the orders of the Commission in some instances as contemptuously as the complaints of the public. A case in point is that of a final order issued by the Commission Feb. 26, 1909, requiring various improvements in the service and @pecifically ordering the company to prepare headway tables and file them with the Commission. The company replied it could not accept the order “because certain of the provisions are impracticable and others impossible of performance.” The law imposes penalties for failure to conform to orders of the Commission, but the law has not been enforced, the penalties have not been exacted. The people have thus a just cause of complaint against some members of the Commission at least, as well as against the company. Whe approaching primaries afford them a means of making that com- plaint formidable and effective. No man should vote in the Brooklyn Primaries for any legislative candidate who docs not pledge himself unequivocally to work and to vote for a legislative investigation of the shameful neglect which the Public Service Commission has shown towerd complaints against the outrages the Brooklyn Rapid Transit | Company has committed and is committing upon the public. The issue is Jocally as important as any now pressing upon public attention. No voter of any party should permit a legislative candi- date to dodge it. Ee SAN FRANCISCO KNOWS HOW. PORTS made by Frank Burt, Director of Concessions, and Hollis E. Cooley, Chief of Special Events at the Panama Ex- position in San Francisco, are to the effect that the exposition Duildings will be ready as carly as August and that the company will not only be out of debt but have money in the treasury. This is a record worth noting, for both Chicago and St. Louis had to postpone their expositions for a year and to borrow money from the Govern- ment to sustain them in the meantime. Old objections to the enterprise on the score that there have been too many such expositions, and that the world is weary of them, must give way in approving admiration to this newest venture in a city so new itself that hardly a building within its business confines is more than six years old. The newest ocean route in the world will carry fea voyagers to an exhibit of the newest inarvels of science, art, in- dustry and pleasure. From palaces to palm trees, from towers to ter- aces, all will be ready on the opening day. As President Taft said} when he turned the first sod at the beginning of the wor | Francisco knows how.” ———_——-3 4. COMPLETING PRISON REFORM. HE Commissioner of Licenses, having jurisdiction over the Municipal Employment Exchange, has issued a plea to em- ployers to find work for persons dismissed from the city | prisons. ‘his is the final test of all our efforts toward turning our penal laws and systems into methods of reform. If the prisoner, purified of jous habits, separated from bad associates and taught to work steadily and effectively, can find employment at living wages amid good surroundings, the prison reform will probably prove lasting. Tf he cannot, the prison uplift is likely to sag soon and collapse be- fore long. 1 Mase-meeting philanthropy, social philanthropy, lanthropy and legislative philanthropy are easy, and being easy are of little value. The teat comes when the issue runs to the individual. Reforming a man in jail under strict supervision and constraint is one thing. Keeping him reformed in freedom is quite different. Work and wages can do it if work and wages be given on terms that enable the reformed to keep his self-respect and know he is working his own way upward. ‘To get that satisfaction he needs something more than sociology. He needs syinpathy and the justice of fair play. Employers of labor can furnish it if they will + municipal phi- ‘ down, 1 have witne: ‘Pe the Editor of The Kvening World: ‘ The trainman «eis the wan eye In the smokers of several Eric | plying boards and c ‘ds, Tt i a nource trains (notably the N.
