TRAFFIC EXPERIMENTS. ‘A, LTHOUGH the special congestion of bridge traffic occasioned by the B. R. T. strike has subsided, the bridges are still regulcted as “one way” ‘arteries of traffic. On Brooklyn Bridge the traffic Is segregated during rush hours—heavy, slow-moving traffic in ome roadway, lighter and speedier cars in the other. ‘The result makes for convenience and time saving for the many at the expense of trifling inconvenience for the few who are forced to make detours. This is the common-sense way of traffic direc- tion. Phe experiment was forced on the police by am emergency. Other experiments, such as the in- Stallation of the Fifth Avenue signal towers, were deliberately undertaken, Further experimentation Should be encouraged, It is too much to expect that every effort will (Prove as successful as the two mentioned, but each should be judged on results, not by any precon- “ceived notions of what ought or ought not to be Here's @ rather dangerous line of talk for Candidate Harding to venture on.

KILL IT. N THE interest of something that will pass for Republican harmony,.we suggest that eminent representatives of the Republican Party get together and debate fo a finish's question on which they utterly disagree, yet which has been made one of the stock weapons of Republican attack wpon the League of Nations Whichever side wins the debate should be entitled to have Its views prevail during the rest of the cam- | palgn, the losing side—so far as this questlon is con- cerned—to hold Its peace. ‘The question {s this: Ts or ts not the League of Nations « Machtacellian denice to force American boys to fight tn foreign lands? AS an illustration of what opposite poles are rep- resented in Republican answers, take only two: The Republican candidate has professed himself convinced the League “never could or would keep us out of war,” and has insisted that “American boys are not born to be made the sacrifices of war | except when It is clearly and unmistakably in de- fense of their country.” Now listen to Herbert Hoover, also a Republican: “The hope which I have placed in the League is that it will foreter reltete the United States of the necessity to again’ send a single soldier outside of our boundaries. “I have always regarded it as « mistake that this was called a ‘League,’ for the term @macks of military alliance. It is. in fact, a council of nations that requires in all im- portant matters unanimous decision. Tho major provisions of this dounci! look toward dwarthament and provision of piace and time for negotiation and arbitration of quarrels. Its most potent weapon is the determination of the rights and wrongs of internetional quarrela and the enlightenment of the woria upon them, and by consequence the moral isolation of the aggreseor. If this fails, its second weapon is the boyoott, the most potent force in the world to-day, the force that more than any other brought Germany to her knoos, “The League agrees that military force may bo used in defense against invasion of one country by another, but In this, as in other things, unanimous consent ts required, and the consent must mean the United States Congress on our side. From my own experi- ence, I believe that the discussion, negotia- Uon, arbitration, enlightenment of public opinion and leading to the moral isolation of an outcast will be all-sufficient, coupled with the knowledge that other weapons exist.” Mr. Hoover put his case well. If he would join with Taft and Wickersham to refute Harding, Lodge and Johnson on this point, it might yet be possible to kill a pernicious falsehood which is a disgrace to the Republican campaign. JACOB H. SCHIFF. E HAS been given to no man to live and die in this great city of New York more respected for char- acter and capacity, more loved for the large measure of good he brought into the lives of his fellow men, than was Jacob H. Schiff. He was the ideal type of banker and benefactor— bringing broad, high vision to both his profession and his philanthropy, @ The Jewish faith had no stronger, more devout Supporter. America iad no more loyal citizen, Mr. Schiff belleved in no Judaism that turned Its back on the United States, The memory of Jacob H. Schiff, who came to this. country, prospered in it and gave it in return the large, true citizenship of a high-minded philan- thropist, will remain a shining encouragement to all Americanizing movements and an inspiration and example to every American Jew, Senator Harding would “rath than anything else in the world.” “It ls the only occupation I know of,” he says, “where you oan sit on your own fence an@ figuratively tell everybody to go Jump fn the river.” Farmers who sit on the fence get heavy crops 0% weeds, as every real farmer knows. ea farmer MRS.
