A FRANCHISE DISTINCTION. There Is the same difference between the municipal ownership and between own- ' Operation as between owning a house and living in it or as ing a factory building and running its machinery. In the application of this wide distinction to public franchises there shouid be no confusion of terms. A public franchise is the right to use certain public powers. The right of eminent domain, the right to the ex- Clusive use of any part of the streets or of the space under or above the street surface, the right to use any of the public powers of a State or municipal corporation, the use of any or all of these rights by a private corporation, requires a franchise and makes the corporation to that extent a public one. The people should own all public franchi and they should not permanently part with any of their rights. They should adopt the same Policy which the Astors, the Rhinelanders and other large estates adopt, of letting the use of their property to the best tenants on reasonable leases and taking to themselves the benefit of the unearned increment, which is only another expression for the additional value which increased popu- lation, ability and industry give to all the real property rights within Greater New York's territorial limits. A franchise is real property, and its ownership and its use are easily separable. DEVERY’S WORDS OF WISDOM. While in office “the best Chief's” touchin’ and appertainin’ habit ‘was so conspicuous that his great knowledge of police affairs was ob- scured. These days, when Devery sits on his veranda at Far Rockaway and from the viewpoint of a police sage discusses Commissioner McAdoo's doings his words ooze wisdom. Mr. Devery suggests that the Rockaw squad should prevent burglaries first and look after the speed ordinances second. He also suggests that in the subdivision of the police force into squads there should be an Equitable Squad to watch the policy-holde:s’ money, and some of the men detailed to take the place of private watch- men might be assigned for that purpose and the corporations left to hire their own watchmen, Commissioner McAdoo would do well to consult with “the best Chief.” Mr. McA¢oo's proclamations display a superabundance of virtue, at least enough for two. He might exchange some of it for Devery’s practical police experience. YUEN AND XERXES TOO. Yuen Hong rebuked the police sergeant who locked him up on the Fourth of July for the sergeant’s failure to celebrate. To the same sta- tion-house was taken Xerxes Polouarkos, who had been shooting off roman candles. The other nationalities need not be mentioned, but the police blotters make it plain that whatever their birthplace or ancestry the foreign-born citizens celebrated the Fourth as enthusiastically as the Americans of Revo- lutionary stock. Is Mr. August Belmont going to follow John B. McDonald, William Barclay Parsons and S. L. F. Deyo and take the Interborough with him into the public franchise trust?

To become emancipated from mere man might be easy enough were it not for the sad fact that to accomplish it we must become emancipated from ourselves. | Of the thousands of women teachers now as- sembled at Asbury Park all but a paltry hundred or so will certainly marry within the next ten years, Whether they will be any happler for the tranétormation {s an open question, for the truest thing that was ever said of matrimony was the utterance of the sage who, when a young man asked him If {t 1s better to marry or remain sin- gle, replied, “Do elther, and you'll regret {t.” The only sure thing is that the young women will make the experiment. the buffalo, but he’s getting mighty scarce.” And in reality he is scarce. But just as ever; woman from fifteen to ninety has the intimate conviction that if she would so far demean her-| self ns to wear a jockey costume she would) drive a shamed and diminished Frankie Bailey into hoopskirts, so every man feeis that when it comes to dominating womankind he has all the prize-fighters and lion-tamers in the country beaten to a standstill. But {t {8 not man dominant or otherwise thac overcomes the emancipated woman. She plays a losing game to be sure, but she at least has the satisfaction of losing it to herself. She suc- cumbs to the first need of cave woman and col- remarked, ‘Even their emancipation has a ‘man’ in it." or will have sooner or later.

Of course, Underfed School Childre BEE," sal@ the Clgar Store Man, “that Mr. Robert Hunter, who proclaimed that 70,000 children in New York go to school every morning without breakfast, continues to insist that he is right.” “Not quite,” corrected the Man Higher Up. “He sidestepped when called down by Ralph Easley, of the Civic Federation, by saying that the children don't go to school without breakfast, but that they don’t get enough breakfast. He says that the reason school children did not fall all over each other to gobble up the Salvation Army free breakfasts last winter was because the breakfasts were the same as they got at home—tread and coffee. hat does he expect school children to eat for breakfast? Roast beef? It scems to me that a kid who feeds his face with a slice of bread and a cup of coffee in the morning has put enough away to keep him going for a few hours. More children die in New York from overfeeding than die of starvation. Mr. Hunter used to live in what he and other settlement workers call the slums, and he ought to know if he had his lamps open. “Where do the first watermelons that reach New York in the season The Girl from Kansas. ‘There is in| Well-known novelist the said the, because the careless boy NCLE Higby's here,” ] “He came! the elevator came down Girl from Kansas.
