JEROME! | Andrew Hamilton is not “side- stepping.” He said that the New York Life trustees who pro- pose to repay $148,Co0 of political contributions must “dip deeper.’” Apparently he is willing to prove has ais words, This means, if Hamilton can make good his assertion, that there are other political contributions which the Armstrong committee did not reach, but which the New York Life trustees know about or should know about, If that is true these eminent lights of high finance, making osten- tatious preparations to repay-a part of the misapplied money while keep- ing mum about other payments not yet made public, are adding hypoc- risy to larceny. Having earned general teprobation, they would seek in addition universal contempt. Hamilton is your witness, Mr, Jerome. He should be an interesting one, In justice to the accused trustees the facts should be known, | TPEW LLaT BOYS, GIRLS AND “DEVILTRY.” Mrs, W. H, Enois, of Glasgow, Ky., who fs the mother of five girls and has adopted eleven, says she will never adopt little boys, “because they are full of deviltry.” et a But what is that restless activity miscalled 1 blowing off of steam? This would be a tame world if boys wi without it. They cannot all be curled up in easy-chairs i eat at six like John Fiske, or writine poetry at eleven like Browning, What a “little devil” Mrs. Enois would have thought Farragut! See his biog- raphy.

The Public is never to blame. You take it from me the railroad: , ; Never!” ads are to blame. Public to blame? Isn’t it, though? Is not the “deviltry” but a health- it public to blame for trying to get stand- ing room in rush-hour trains, when, if it only waited hee eno, there would be seats for all? Is it not to blame for resenting the pummelling it gets from guards who are simply overdoing their polite attentions a bit? Why does it carp about three-car shuttle trains Sunday mornings? With time to waste, why does it not patronize the surface: cars? - The entire attitude of the public toward the Subway management is a panic when flanges break and cars jump the track, or wh out with terrifying flashes, It will say things when local Presses between stations, It even laughs at disk fans for ventilating an co} It delights to growl and jeer, and no wonder Officials are tempted to tell it, in Polite language, to be—condemne: MIGHTSTICK and NOZZLE- Romance of Manhettan by SEWARD sensitive | the old IS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
