Y looking the facts in the face, security hold- ers of the Interborough Rapid Transit Com- pany have convinced themselves that they stand to lose least in accepting reorganization along the lines of the Transit Commission's plan for a unified transit system. Rather than go completely to smash, the Inter- borough sees its way to foregoing dividends for five years, eliminating the costly burden of the Manhattan elevated lease, abolishing its holding company, “drying” its securities from $114,000,- 000 to $35,000,000, insuring a 5-cent fare and admitting representatives of the public to its Board of Directors. This is progress indeed. ' Public hearings on the Interborough offer may show the Transit Commission points where it can better the terms still further in the public interest. Nevertheless, the new attitude of the Inter- borough is highly promising for a smooth ad- vance toward transit reorganization and relief. A rough and endless road of litigation would . doubtless serve some purposes better. But such purposes are certainly not the pur- poses of the people of this city. Even Mayor Hylan shows signs of realizing at last that the Transit Commission is on the only track that has the right of way straight through to results. The surrender of the Interborough should give the Mayor new food for profitable thought. THE GIANTS ROUT THE “DOP! HE Giants did something more than beat the Yanks. They also triumphed ‘over opinion, popular as well as expert. They overcame the “dope.” They “fan counter to “form.” _ They achieved the unexpected. ~ This sort*of*victory in the world of sport as well as in the larger world may be even a greater victory than the more obvious winning. For there is no denying that ideas are more or less contagious. The atmosphere of defeat may soak in and have an effect. On the other hand it may only serve to raise the fighting fire. - When this second happens the very improbability of Victory may help turn the tide, and over-con- fidence may prove a handicap in the race. New York hails the Giants as World Cham- pions and the better team. They proved their * worth by coming through to victory in spite of the “dope.” They had the winning punch when it was needed.

H. Felton, the + Georgia appointee, to qualify as a member. This would have to be before Nov. 7, if at all. The advantage to be gained is purely senti- mental. And this is an instance where sentiment would be satisfied at too high a price. A meet- ing of the Senate costs a huge sum of money. Senators are entitled to the legal mileage and travelling allowances—a formidable price for the gratification of a whim, even if there were no other exptnses or inconveniences to the Senators attending. e The Nation will be gratified if any legal expedi- ent can be brought to play to enable Mrs. Felton to qualify, but the sentimental value of making Mrs. Felton the first woman Senator is not worth the cost of a special session. If Mrs. Felton never takes her seat, some other woman will be the first ‘woman Senator. Some other Governor may have opportunity to make political capital at a smaller expense to taxpayers. } “DON'T GET HURT, HE bald warning “Don’t Get Hurt” stares us a in the face everywhere. It emphasizes the part the individual can play in preventing ac- cidents in which he is most interested, accidents to himself. The pedestrian in a hurry to cross the street will see the sign approaching him on an automo- * bile. His instinctive response will be to draw back to safety and not get burt. pee good viewpoint in the safety campaign is een TeuarertaEee se Nm oo Sach ARRAS SPRATT OS THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1922. that of the speculator or gambler. What are the chances? Is it a good bet? Going ahead into the danger zone may mean a certain advantage in catching a car or train, in getting work done quickly, in personal conve- nience or enjoyment. But it involves a chance, say one in ten thousand. Getting hurt may mean loss of an eye, or a leg, or arm, or prolonged suffering. The wise specu- lator knows he wouldn’t have that happen “for /Epoch-Making BOOKS By John Cassel THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS.

There are too many first class Canadian harbors. If the Supreme Court of the United States were to sustain the Daugherty ruling, good-bye to the great foreign vessels that have brought pas- sengers and commerce to this Nation’s ports. And how many Americans hereabout would pa- triotism and ship-subsidies keep from following the foreign ships to Quebec and Halifax? There are three ways of explaining this Har- ding-Daugherty ruling: (1) A new knock-down argument for the ship subsidy.
