Many small offenders were frightened into stopping a year ago, but the big ones have gone on unmolested, ) This Is neither deceht nor democratic government. i In the city of Cleveland, as shown in Mr. Barney’s report, though Soft coal is almost universally used, the smoke pall has been one-half abated through the enforced introduction of improved methods of stoking and burning, In this city in 1902 there were 714 cases investigated and 446 prosecuted. Last year only 150 were investigated and 3 prosecuted, If New York is to preserve its birthright of pure air it is time to strike hard at this polluting nuisance, The Subway cars should be better lighted, Mr. Belmont. | FLANK THE BEEF TRUST! {fo the Editor of The Evening World: It is a noticeable fact that what The Evening World takes hold of with a will “generally succeeds, Splendid suggestion, that, In your leading editorial of last Might to “stop eating beef.” Keep it hot, It won't take a great while of total abstinence from meat to set the hogs of the Beef Trust a-thinking.

RICH MEN’S SONS, * John D, Rockefeller’s Cleveland pastor, Rev. Charles A. Easton, Ought to be qualified to testify as an expert on “millionaires and their families.’ And this is what he says: “The son of modem wealthy par- ents is a fool.” This is a good example of the injustice and {naccuracy—not to say the idiocy—of sweeping generalizations. Dr, Osler and Dr. Easton are two of a kind, Because some men are “no good” at sixty, through in- «herited weakness or fast living, the Baltimore savant shut his eyes to the ‘fact seen and known by everybody else, that many men of well-ordered lives are younger at sixty in everything save years than other men of ‘forty. ' H Pastor Easton sneers at the society dawdling and the “sporty’’ habits {of rich men’s sons. There are too many examples of these in all large | cities, The idlers, the dawdlers and the sports are unfortunately a grow- ‘Ing class among the newly rich in this country. Many young men seem } to inherit the weaknesses rather than the strength of their fathers, Young _ Mr, Hyde has wrought havoc in the great insurance company created and built up by his father, On the other hand, young Mr, Rockefeller is a true son of his sire— posing as a pietist on Sundays and raking in and clutching a huge monop- oly’s millions on the other six days. . There are examples of both classes—those whom Mr. Easton calls _ “fools” and those who are doing a man’s part in the world’s work. Much depends upon the boy, but more upon the parents. Between silly mothers and foolishly indulgent fathers the American heir to millions enters life with a heavy handicap, The wonder is that no more of them are wholly spoiled, i A FLY ON HIS AUTO WHEEL.
