Peer hed by the Press Publishing Company, No. 58 to 63 Park How, New York Entered at the Post-Ofice at New York us Second-Class Mail Matter, 2 tteseewrressereINO, 16,973, PEARLS BEFORE “CUBS.” Hi) A despatch from Boston says that ‘fuily one-tenth of all students in ) Harvard and So per cent. of the freshmen are on probation,” Also that nm) the Faculty of the University has notified a “printed notes dealer” that he must give up business after he has fulfilled existing contracts, His + Wectures which they did not attend, to enable them to “cram” for exami- tation, It would probably be found upon inquiry that the greater part of these probationers and “pony” riders are rich men's sons, who are sent to College by ambitious parents because it is “the thing” to do, not because the boys have any great desire or special aptitude for learning. What a pity that the pearl of culture must be thrown before these unappreciative cubs! ‘on them could be used in giving the higher education to eager, aspiring poor students who would really appreciate it! The Park Row pavement is a disgrace to the city, THE COST OF BAD GOVERNMENT, f Bad government costs more in money than is measured by high axes and the squandering of the public funds, The tax of the public- service corporations amounts to more upon the average worker than the direct municipal tax, Every public-service corporgtion in New York has capitalized not only its investment in plant, but its franchise valua- tion, and in paying interest and dividends the tax upon the public is many times an ordinary return on the real capital invested, In theory a franchise is a right owned by the public, the use of which ts granted to a corporation for the public benefit and good, Whatever the value of the franchise may be, it is the public and not the corporation which has created that value. To manufacture cloth or paper or shoes the value of the articles manufactured is not dependent upon the locality of the factory. The value of a franchise is. Its worth depends solely | upon its location, A franchise to lay a trolley road through the Catskills would not be profitatite because the people to use the road do not live there in suffi- cient numbers, In like manner the Broadway franchise is much more | valuable than the Belt line franchise, and the right to supply electricity | and gas in downtown New York is worth many times as much as in| Staten Island or Queens County. By appropriating to themselves the total value of the franchtses | which the people have created and In theory own, the public-service i “business” is furnishing to lazy or absentee students printed notes of the | How much better would it be if the money wasted! § of pig iron or other like commodities requires no public franchise, and_ ‘A Wall St | \@ \2 | WONDER Ld ® 2 e 4 g & 2 bd 2 $ corporations impose a tax higher than the municipal tax rate, Here is where bad government costs much more than in the squandering of the public funds. If the people of New York want good government, with all that this means, they will have a chance in November to say so, The “Subway hog” Is still polluting the tunnel air with stale tobacco, smoke. What are Rules for? SUNDAY HOODLUMISM. Hood!umism on Sunday is becoming too prevalent in this town. | Pleasant family trips are spoiled by the turbulence and riotousness of | young men, and occasionally young women, The evening cars from | Coney Island and on the suburban roads in the Bronx, and also the ele- vated and subway trains, are too frequently scenes of public disorder, Exuberant spirits and physical exhilaration after a day spent at the seashore or in the country away from toil may account for some of these q disturbances, but neither is a sufficient excuse. Too often it is apparent ae that liquor is the inciting cause of this rowdyism. Whatever may be said about the moderate use of alcoholic beverages i by adulis, there {s no excuse for their consumption by half-grown boys. | ; ! Whe law forbids the sale of liquors to minors, and it would be a thousand q tthmes better to use the power the police and the District-Attorney may J fave in regulating the sale of liquor to enforce this part of the Excise law Ahan to attempt a general supervision with which public opinion is not in agmnpathy. ‘The toleration of Sunday night hoodlumism will lead to more serious breaches of the peace and of the law. It is much better to preserve the " and enforce seemly public behavior in the early years than to pun- fh more serious crimes which will develop in after life from a bad be- > gGoning in youth.

Indeed, as ahe bent over the teacups I no» teed that what poets popularly describe as pearl had formed In each of her bl eyes and I thought for a moment that, more extravagant than Cleopatra, she Was about to let both melt into the tea “Afen," she repeated, earnestly, ‘are brutes, The particular reason !8"— ee Polly strangely hesttated—"is my laundress—her husband beats her, you NOW. Now, ag a matter of fact, I didn't know, but prudence suggested that I nee not mention my ignorance to Polly. “Ah, indeed!” 1 sighed sympathetically, “Yes,” sald Polly, solemnly, “Ho beats her—dreadfully! She showed me her morning and@ they were all black and biue—that {s,"' she added truth- ey would have been only—only she ts a colored laundress."’ "Ab," I repeated, “indeed, May I ask if your colored Inundress's husband beats her for particylar reason, or Just on general principles?

But, after all, Polly, jealousy 1s a terrible thing. When a man suffers from It he 1s not responsible, and then," I added, slowly and melodramatically, “I know!
