If definite proof were desired of the extent and im- portance of the public service performed by Capt. Norton Soddard through his exposure of the Western Union Felegraph Company's partnership with pool-rooms it Was furnished Saturday by the fact that for the first time in years nearly every pool-room in the city was “out of business.” It was a situation unprecedented In 4 local racing season and one made possible solely by the original revelation of the company’s complicity in the evasion of the law. _... The great merit of Capt. Goddard's reform work is That in fighting a public evil he goes directly to its pourees. In his policy war he was not content with raid- i ‘hig, the rooms of the smal! dealers; he went higher up, ve to “Al” Adams, their backer. He passed over the pool- ‘Fooms to attack the rich and reputable corporation om| [) . #whose news reports their existence depended. | “Apart from their more important results, the very im: “qutetness and persistence of his methods are in agreeable be sgontrast with the momentary sound and fury of the ‘periodical crusades against the lesser agencies of vice. © pTaTEN ISLAND FERRY PROSPECTS, Mayor McClellan has promised the people of Staten jland that the next time he comes to visit them offictally will come on a “big double-deck ferry-boat of one of best ferry lines in the world.” if The day of thet visit will see the borough of Rich- | fond given means of communication with Manhattan / more nearly adequate to !ts demands than the anti ) Muated and inferlor service which has long worked to ‘Yhe island's detriment. The region which is by location and natural advantages the Greater City’s most attrac- J) five suburb will then be brought within easy reach of "gn excess Manhattan population of the better class, Whose presence will stimulate a development too long Mlelayed by the handicap of unsatisfactory transit ‘facilities.

The nerti of the ready-made woman 1s not a fancied one. Sho Is a very real result of the change in economies aondi- tions in the last hundred years which has taken the old-time feminine occu- pations out of the home into the facto~ ties and shops and left the woman who does not follow them without an occu- pation. From the days of the Roman matrons to the time of our own grandmothers the duties which the woman of average circumstances had to fill her own time and hands In her own home were quite equal to thone her husband performed tn the outer working world. It was her recognized duty to make the clothes of her entire household, to manufacture woollen garments, taking them through all the different proc- ennen from mheep to hand loom, and the Mnen of the household from flax to spindle, But the Invention of mod- em mechinery emancipated her from these duties. And Hke fll sudden emancipations, {t merely took sway} one occupation without furnishing her another. That is one reason whioh makes the howl against the working woman 90 Sllogical. In shops and fac- tories she is to-day pursuing the very same oooupations that belonged to her @rand@mothors and her «teatygrand- mothers back to the day “when Adam delved and Five span.” When the in- ventive genius of the nona of Adam took the woman's work out of her home and made {t cheaper and cleaner, and more sanitary for the daughters of Eve to spin together instead of separ ately, and for general instead of private consumption, {t was inevitable that they should profit by the change. And the women who do, are not “new women, but off as mother Eve. ‘The really new woman tn the “ready~ made woman" who sits at home, her occupation, lke Othello's, gone, who it ts doen not keep house because easier to board; who does not sew be- cause tt 1s cheaper to buy her clothes ready-made: who dawdles and fritte: away her time fram one matiger day to another, and !s a living example of the human parasite, or to use a time- honored simile, the olinging Vine, which when {t clings too much or climbs too far, must Inevitably sap the life of the oak, its fabled mainstay and sup- port. But the ready-made woman does not stop at taking her clothes or her home ready-made She prefers her thoughts that way, too, and they are furnished to her from the latest milk-and-water, hundred- thoyasand-edition novel or the junk heap of ‘the popular dramatist. Even her musio Js ready made, for the self-play- ing plano haw added’ the last fils to her machine-made {dleness and. ex- salted her to the seventh “ready-made” heaven, LETTERS, QUESTIONS, ANSWERS. —.— rom Side, Net End, of Spoon, tor of The Evening World 8 the correct thing tu do in Yo take it from the side on oer from the end of t DJ Winon Sense and Will Power, iditor of ‘The Evening World Tam a heavy smoker?

It would be a fine thing for several thou- ; sand poor suckers in New York if the pool-rooms were closed up as tight as the Federal Bank, but there will | be pool-rooms as long as there are men with brains |shrunken enough to lead them to imagine that they can beal the races. “Bad as the pool-rooms are, they are better than the | books at the track from any standpoint, and from a self. ish economic view they are to some extent a benefit, in- asmuci as they give back a percentage of their winnings for expenses. Few bookmakers own homes in New York, and few spend any money here except in the all-night |restaurants, the manicure parlors and some other places. | The pool-room owners pay rent for 500 rooms in town, and pay good salaries to 6,000 men. All of these men |live right in town, and most of them have families. Their ‘earnings probably aggregate $30,000 a day, all of which is spent right at home. The bookmakers in the Metro- politan Turf Association don’t employ over 500 men, and not more than half of them spend more than the sum- mer season in New York. “Many bookmakers back pool-rooms in winter, thus }leading a double Ilfe. In summer they bet on the races at the track and are protected by law. In cold weather they bet on the races in comfortable rooms in New York side streets. and immediately become crooks. We are a fine, consistent community when it comes to framing up a stand on the gambling question.” “What is the percentage against men who play the races in pool-rooms?” asked the Cigar Store Man. “Dope it out for yourself,” answered the Man Higher Up. “They have to pay their share of the expenses of the tracks, of the horse-owners, of the jockeys, the rubbers, ) |the bookmakers, the trainers, the track detectives and gate-keepers the ushers, messengers, grass cutters and sprinklers, the 6,000 pool-room employees and the pool- room, keepers’ profit.
