Entered at the Post-Ofice at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. VOLUME 44. During January, February, March and April of th’s year The Evening World carried 5087 columns of raid cis- play advertising. | No other New York paper equalled this showing. The increase over The Evening World's own record for the corresponding four months of 1903 was 1270% columns—more than twice the gain made by any other paper. PRIVATE VS. CORPORATE VIRTUE. Messrs. Morgan, Schiff, Hyde, Gould, Jesup, Harriman, Sage, Sloan and Depew, and their fellow- directors are all as individuals respectable gentlemen and honest men. Why, then, should they collectively, as the Western The Woman for Whom Men Steal.) y Nixola Greeley-Smith, ow much can beg, borrow or steal for me? Yi means to me receipt of pressing for g man of Chambersburg, Pa,, after vainly tryIng to borrow {t, and attempting to convert ft fnto east tried to the mon a horse was urrested, enced years in penitentiary This case Mh trates on a very small scale the evil Influence that un scrupulous women ore capable of exer clsing over men, making of them for- gors, defaulters and criminals of every kind Hardly a day passes that the news- papers do not contain some story of a Union Telegraph Company, conduct business which is neither respectable nor honest? Unfortunately there seems to be some peculiar kink in men’s moral makeup which allows them to Temain scrupulously upright as individual citizens while permitting them to be the very reverse when incorporated as a company. None of the above mentioned gentlemen, for in- stance, has probably ever been inside a pool-room. The mere idea would cause them acute distress, And yet they have been making about a million dollars a year for themselves and for ‘others of equal respect- ability through illegal trafficking with criminal pool- rooms, They ‘might plead that they have been the accom- plices of felons through a mistake of ignorance. But not only have they made this mistake in the past, but the do not seem ashamed of it in the present, nor anxious to rectify it in the future. : | Men who run pool-rooms have been brought up handicapped by poverty and ignorance, and often by a semi-criminal environment, with pool-rooms as their sinister but solitary means of livelihood. The gentlemen who furnish these men with the | indispensable material for their felony have been brought up with the advantages of prosperity, of education, and of respectable environment, with pool- rooms as only a small incident in their incomes. The men who run the pool-rooms are reprobated by the community. How, then, should the community regard the gentlemen who sustain the pool-rooms? Mr. Jerome says that “with democratic institutions.” « law ainst the wish of a whole community “cannot permanently be enforced by any authority locally appointed." If only he liad thought of this sooner! \ A TRIUMPH OF TOLERANCE. \ Inhabitants of New York can now play Sunday baseball without being criminals, and can watch it played without being accomplices. For Justice Gaynor has handed down in Brooklyn ® decision which releases the six players errested for Zabbath breaking a week ago last Sunday. He de- tlares that Sunday baseball is not illegal until a witizen has proved that his Sunday repose has been listurbed by it. This decision seems to be a triumph of common sense over prejudice; of tolerance over undue conservatism, The games that have so far taken place have been | played where they in no wise interfered with the| worship or the rest of any one. So this decision ap-| parently makes baseball a legal as well as a weloome ind wholesome Sunday feature. Unfortunately there are a few good people so con- stituted that if they knew their fellow men were en- joying themselves at « Sunday ball game a thousand niles away, their Sabbath repose would be hopelessly Usturbed by the knowledge. Fortunately “disturbance” of this kind will be hard to prove before the impartial broadmindedness of justice. ‘The veto of the gas “grab” need not wait the full thirty days, Gov. Odell. Why not cut it out now, and relieve veople's minds? “RUM OID IT.” From his bench in prison, away from ribald com- panfons of the “gang,” under salutary discipline and “forced to steady hours and industry, Mr. “Monk” Hast- ‘man sees a great light, “Rum aid it,” he says of his own downfall. And, tf one must have an excuse for sins, this is a good one. It is an admitted medical fact that alcohol lowers the physical stamina and weakens the will power, The heavy drinker is not a normal man even when he is wober. He not only suffers from lowered vitality, but transmits it to his children in heightened tendency to fiisease; and so in his old age—if ho lves to reach old age at all—when he has repented a thousand times the follies of his youth he ts often tortured again in the sorrows of those whom he loves who suffer for his! $ transgressions. Very often it happens that when a young tough fs committed to prison his health improves greatly in spite of the unnatural and depressing life and the close tonfinement. In that improvement the cutting off of frink is the principal agent. “LITTLE JAPAN." Every week that passes puts “Little Japan” more yecurely in the rank of the great powers. ~ he invasion of Manchuria is being managed in a ner. The biggest guns and the strongest it where they are needed. When this than coinchlence, In war as in business, In invention, in science, It pays to be well informed, know what is possible and what not ahd just how happens riore than once there {s something more in it| man's financial, social and moral de- struction due to the attempt to live be- yond his Income. And oftener than not this attempt 1s prompted, practically dictated, by some woman whom he has the misfortune to love. t may be, indeed, It has often been said, that a man must bo of a weak moral nature to be influenced to dishon- esty by a woman. But very few men possess characters of such resolute righteousness that they cannot be swayed from the path of duty by @ be- loved woman. Women possess @ greater power for good or evil than men. Sometimes, to be sure, a charming, cultivated woman seems to be absolutely under the sway of some man unworthy to be her butler. But {f she once recovers from his spell {t 1s very seldom that she falls as com- pletely under the influence of another. Men, on the contrary, merely pass from one feminine yoke to another and are in 2 state of chronle enslavement all thelr lives. Lords of creation, mas- ters of the world, ax they proclaim themrelves to be, they are really the ensiaved sex. For they have made themselves slaves to their emotions, and consequently slaves to women who through their eyotions, govern them. The polygamous sultans of the East and the most exalted monarchs of enlight- ened Christendom ure alike subject to feminine influence, and the power be- hind the throne” has become a proverb. A man’s character 1s made or marred by the feminine influences that surround him. No one but a women with whom @ man has been genuinely in love can realize how great in the influence for good or evil she may exert. There are men, of course, so absolutely thelr own masters as to be exempt from this per- flous sway of womankind; but the aver- age susceptible citizen when once a woman gets a good grip on his heart- strings {s as clay in the hands of a potter, The ambitious sweetheart, the extray- agant wife, the daughter longing for a fine debut and a splendid wedding, all, if they do not Iimlt their demands to the known capacity of a man's Income, are indirectly responsible for any dishonest act he may commit to gratify their whims, Verhaps ther are few women who would deliberately tempt a man to pteal for them, but there are unfor- tunately many who mako the meeting of their impossible demands the con- dition of domestic happiness, and who, provided they have what they want, are content to ask no questions until the law steps in and asks thom. And these are the women of ehallow intelligance and too flexible conselences who wreck men's lives. ee NAPOLEONIC VIOLETS, Miss Amy Miller, employed in the It- brary department of the World's Fair Administration Butlding, has discovered an old print of a “Napoleon bunch of violets." She says: ‘This drawing is from an old wood cut and simply repre- sents a little bunch of violets, but in profile on the right may be seen the head of the first Napoleon, oppostte to that the head of his wife, the Empress, and underneath them the profile of thelr son, the King of Rome."
