Entered at the Post-Office at New York ns Second-Class Mail Matter, seevee NO, 18,967, A DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICAN, Whatever people may think of the politics or the public policies of ” President Roosevelt there can be no doubt that as a MAN he is a thor- & well-deserved popularity. The account of his farewell dinner to his companions of the hunt is in connection with any of his predecessors in the Presidential office. With a trusted guide on either side and the rest of the party ranged around the “banquet board,” all clad in their hunting garb, without condescension ‘on the part of the host or any trace of servility in his guests, the dinner ‘was a good example—too seldom seen in our country to<jay—of demo- cratic simplicity and republican equality, There is no greater stickler for the social conventions, when these ere in order, than President Roosevelt. But he can bend his dignity, occasion, without fear of breaking it. He has not lost in office the admirable faculty of being a man among men—whether they are diplo- mats or guides, statesmen or cowboys, It is a pity there are not more “typical Americans” of this sord @mong our men of high station, large wealth, broad culture and social distinction, in place of the snobs, the cads, the posers and the imitation “aristocrats” that are so much in evidence, Sign a petition to Gov. Higgins to include this bill in the matiters to be considered at the extra session. THE THREE R’S AT WORK, Under the potent prodding of the press the Equitable scandal bids fair to be thoroughly investigated and substantial justice secured for the po}- icy-holders, The “essential three R’s"—Revelation, Restitution and Reform—are getting in their effective work. In the absence of legislative investigation The World has made revelations as to the mismanagement of the corporo- tion which must in the end compel restitution and reform, Both these will be helped by the summons served yesterday on the responsible direc- tors, calling them into court to give an account of their stewardship. The World will supply the Publicity if the coarts will help push in the probe. CHANGES IN COMING SUBWAYS, On Friday next the plans will be submitted to the Rapid Transit Commission for subway lines under Third, Lexington, Seventh and Eighth avenues. They provide for longer stations than those in the pres- ent tunnel, Other changes suggested by experience are made. The most important departure from arrangements on the existing line of rapid transit is in the entrances and exits, which it is proposed to build through private property, thus avoiding the erection of kiosks in the streets. It is well that the obvious hints in construction and operation to be ,drawn from the first subway shall be heeded in building and running new ilines. But the lessons will have been very incompletely learned if the changes stop with the improvements thus far indicated, Warm weather effects on the underground atmosphere have shown already that ventilation should be an imperative consideration in all com- ing subways, And the longer platforms at stations will be of little avail if cars of the ancient style, with doors only at the ends, shall be used. The rapid- transit trains of the future should have the cross-seat cars with doors at all sections, recently descrited in The Evening World as in use in the INinois Central’ suburban se Thus will be avoided that filling and empty- ing at single entrances and exits, which makes in the existing subway not for good order, good nature or good time, BETTER THAN HEROISM, When the lives of a shipload of passengers and the crew are in peril at sea heroism is not uncommon and is an admirable quality. But are not cool heads, ready hands and perfect discipline almost better? These qualities were displayed on the Joy liner Aransas, which was struck by a barce in the tog amid the Nantucket shoals at 1.30 o'clock in the morning—the worst hour alike for courage and for preparedness— and sunk within fifteen minutes, with the loss of but one life out of thirty-seven passengers and a crew ot twenty-nine, In how many former wcekents of this sort have the life-saving boats proved worthless, the officers inetlicient, the crew rattled or cow- ardly—and the loss of life appalling! But aboard the Aransas there was a captain and mate—Rood and Crocker are their honored names—who.knew their duty, and a crew Before the frightened passengers, awakened by the shock, had all got on deck, the lifeboats were ready, the officers in command and the crew at their posts. Women were helped first to the boats, all were safely diseml except Mate Crocker ond eight of his men, who climbed to the foremast head and were taken off by a steamer summoned to-help by the expiring shriek of the doomed vessel's sub- merged whistle. trained for emergencies, irked It was a great object-lesson in life-saving which ought to be bulle- tined aboard every passenger boat plying along our coast The People’s Corner.
