York particularly. | In New York it would be difficult to find any proof either that the labor unions as such take part in politics or that the political bosses con- trol the votes of the members of labor unions. There is rather, on the contrary, a spirit manifest at the meetings and in the declarations of the labor unions against political bosses. The votes which blindly follow a political boss are not those of the most intelligent workingmen, but of the more ignorant; not of the workingmen who think and debate political questions, but of the men whose votes are for sale either for money or for favors. In New York labor unions have their defects. The main one is in not confining themselves strictly to securing the best possible conditions RD VOLUME 46 vf her way Waroke oe A Point of Ethics. | To the Editor of The Evening World: Whenever @ conductor on a treet car forgets to nek me for my fare I have always made a point of giving {t to him on leaving the car.

She had gone on an excursion and was watching the fireworks. A spark from a roman candle fell on her comb, and an explosion followed. It is remarkable that there are not more hairless women as the result of wearing celluloid combs. Celluloid melts readily and explodes under many conditions. It is very inflammable, and once on fire it is hard to extinguish. A hot curling-iron or close proximity to a gas-jet or lamp is sufficient to set it off.
