An the Equitable’s balance sheet can be found the reason for the lower realized for New York City bonds, In bygone days the great life nce companies were the main market for such gilt-edged bonds as Issued by the United States and the State and the City of New Yor ge days have passed and the Equitable for one has been selling itd hited States and city bonds to invest their proceeds in the securities of Harriman’s, Mr, Gould’s, Mr. Hill’s and other directors’ railroads. According to its last statement the Equitable owned only $150,000 “New York City bonds and only $600,000 United States bonds and 100 of Virginia bonds, Altogether these do not amount to as much an interest in the Western Maryland bond syndicate, for which thd Equitable paid $915,000 and for which it would be lucky if it could, get The difference is that none of its directors controls the printing p which issue United States or city bonds, Its directors are not a syndicate which manipulates the sale of city bonds, There is no graft for body in investments in city bonds. Therefore the Equitable emptied ‘safe of such securities and has filled its balance sheets with a list of the pailroads which its directors control. . And Gov. Higgins sees no necessity for turning the Searchlight of Pub- ficity upon this corruptly and illegally managed society which holds in st $400,000,000 of the policy-holders’ money.

Honor and helping hands to the Motor A TEST OF HONESTY. The Evening World has tried its best to think well of the Legislature Mat Albany, It did a good job in passing the bills to equalize the taxation > of mortgages and to constrain tax-dodging stock gamblers to pay some- F thing to the State for their profitable privileges. F But the passage of several “grab” bills and the manifest difficulty which fear restrains greed from pushing other boodle measures puts the legislative body under suspicion. If in addition to this the Legislature shall refuse to pass any of the bills to prevent and punish bribery in elections, the character of that body ill be indelibly stamped as BAD. _ Only a desire to get and a determination to use money selfishly given p corrupt elections will explain the refusal to pass these bifls. In its ssty—or lack of it. Another old moral in the case of bank-robber Bigelow: No man in Pi charge of great sums of other people’s money should be “trusted imy ‘ | plicity.” If he is honest “keeping tab” won't hurt him; if he is a looter ° Mgt heart the “tab” may prevent ruin to others. IF HERRICK WERE AN EDITOR. i In his pithy speech to the Bronx Press Club ex-Justice D. Cady Her- “wick told the members several things he would do if he were an editor. Mn ong other things he said: Im these days of high finance, {f 1 found men were making away with the |} fands of the widows and orphans | would drive them from their offices. And if I found that Senators and Congressmen and Governors and Lieuterant-Governors fy) were on the payrolls of corporations whom they were protectifig | would leave “no stone unturned to drive those officials out. b). ~ ‘This is precisely what The World 1s striving todo in its exposures of Equitable corruption,” and its persistent demand, morning and evening, EY for a public investigation of the criminal mismanagement of that great: ration, Judge Herrick goes further than this and says / ‘Gome out and speak on that question, 1 should have my say as to Government ership, which would drive out labor unions, I should consider ¢he question <1 its phases. No government would want its employees to be its masters, ‘And yet {f in spite of an honest Mayor and an honest Police Commissioner you hhave graft in the police force, what can you expect if you tuke up all public busl- . mess? The weight of minor detail might welgh down the whole structure of gov. erpment. All this I should consider if I were an editor, Here again ‘The World is doing what Mr. Herrick would do if he others are advocating would be apt to “jolt” the unions, for a strike of Government employees might be held to be aconspiracy. But that would he a small evil compared with turning over the rallroads, lighting plants, telegraph and telephone lines, and perhaps the coal mines, to the polttical “bosses who now mismanage “for their own pockets all the time” impor- ‘tant functions of the national, State and cty governments, je i The Russian Government shows good sense in contracting with “Charlie” Schwab to build its new warstfps, Unfortunately for the Czar \ the contract cannot include American officers and gunners to man them, Considering what Grady and McCarren know of the game of politics as It is played, it is rather creditable in them to oppose dragging women into the pool, The People’s Corner. ‘Letters from Evening World Readers a Wnglend, 60,890 Square Oftles; New c York, 49,170, | the Bittor of The Wrening ‘Which is larger, New York State or’ Mm, amare does not belong to you alone, it 48 a world curiosity and should be pre- Rerved for posterity."
