Comptrofler Metz, discussing the urgent need of new subways, is quoted as saying: “Subways are eas; enough to plan and construct in newspaper headlines, but the real subways that can carry passengers need money and brains to build, and lots of both. “A lot of syndicates have been formed—in the newspapers—but only stage money has so far been shown. 1 am in favor of giving the contracts and franchises to the peo- ple who can ‘make good’ on their promises.” That is, the Belmont-Ryan combination, The reference to “stage money” is hardly happy in view of the gen- trai impression that the original subway was equipped for operation from the profits made of the use of the city’s money on the construction contzact, - But {s the situation as bad as Comptrofler Metz paints it? Are the city’s transportation facilities for all time to come at the mercy of the men who contro! the merger? Are all subways yet to be to go into this _, Stock-jobbing pool? Is the supply of McDonalds exhausted? Is there _ Mo available capital outside the Ryan bank vaults? It is preposterous to say that there is not money enough in New . York to finance an enterprise in which enormous returns of profit are assured from the start. It is preposterous to say that the constructive “brain” needed is not » ‘eailily procurable. ' ° If the Interborough-Metropolitan Company can build additional sub- "ways on better terms than any one else, well and good. But the disposi- tion to prefer it in advance and to treat it as a favored competitor is not seemly in a public official, ‘The Czar replied: “1 shall bear alone the burden of the power placed upon me © * © and © * © the Russian people will help me” Queer way of bearing a burden “alone,” but very czarish.

Natural History Museum has gone on to Boston, where 25,000 people Saw it, and to Philadelphia; it is going to Chicago, Newark, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto. Another life-saving exhibit meanwhile is travelling about this city. This week and next it is to be at Union Settlement, No. 235 East One ‘ Hundred and Fourth street. Tenement Commissioner Butler will open it to-morrow evening. No fee is charged. Most people know that, besides food and rest, the way to prevent or cure tuberculosis is to get fresh air to the lungs. The “Shut that win- dow!” folly kills thousands every year in this city. Tuberculosis exhibi- tions show how to save life by keeping the window open. Fathers and mothers of families forced to live in cramped quarters should not miss an . Opportunity of seeing exhibited the means of giving their children’s lungs a chance to keep their bodies strong. Bridge Commissioner Stevenson says he has cut the word “termina!” out of his vocabulary. In the discarding of that obsolete word is the beginning of wis- dom in the solution of the bridge-crush problem.
