VOLUME 46... ...c0ccee seeserceccervcveeesserecseee NO, 16,285, NEW STABS FOR THE ELSBERG BILL. Once more the Elsberg bill suf- rs mutilation at the hands of the “only true friends of rapid transit” at Albany. the Senate voted to strike out the provision which held out a hope for independent operation. The measure which has received this new stab is the modified bill which left the Senate Ci Com- mittee with a guarantee of free sail- ing. It was a compromise measure which yet safeguarded the city from merger control. It was believed to meet all rational objections and to provide a satisfactory basis for an agreement. Alas! the sponsors of the amended bill reckoned without Grady and the old guard which had previously defeated the bill in committee. Ex- cept for Carpenter they lined up against the bill and in support of the emasculating Grady amendment, which kills competition and smooths the way yet further for the merger interests. The opposition now, as before, is actuated by the highest motives. | i Senator Grady, as its spokesman, has said so. He is “not talking for any retainer” oy “arguing in any private interest,” nor presumably are they. They “want rapid transit whether it comes from the Traction Trust or | h anybody else,” and they view wi larm the “three years’ delay of get- ting rapid transit” which they mistakenly foresee under the Elsberg bill. | Why such fervid protestations when the motives are pure? But} could the Traction Trust be better represented at Albany than it is by the| friends of rapid transit, who so entirely misrepresent their New York | constituents? WARNING NO. 1! A good man gone wrong is often worse than a bad man who delib- erately persists in evil works. District-Attorney Jerome is rapidly placing himself in a position where a demand for his removal by the Governor will be the next de- velopment in order, WOMEN WHO SMOKE, Possibly the ladies who engaged a special smoking car on an express train from London to Liverpool were merely in search of a new Arabian night adventure to tell to another Stevenson. By a majority of one | But the escapade is interesting as showing the development of the woman smoker. Certainly she has made progress within a decade. | "Where once smoking among women was mainly confined to the extremes of society, high and low, it has made inroads in everyday life and tri- umphed over old scruples. Actresses smoke and women artists and other professional women more than they used to. In the novels of Mrs. Whar- ton and Miss Glasgow ladies carry begemmed cigarette cases, which men friends keep filled with selected brands. Cases of tobacco heart in women are noted by doctors. The establishment of “smoke rooms” in women’s Clubs in London gave the habit an official recognition so far denied it here. This increased indulgence in tobacco by the sex supposes a masculine approval or tolerance. What effect is it destined to have on the more | highly organized feminine nervous system? If it were pipes or cigars| there would not be so much occasion for apprehension as is caused by the | more insidious cigarette. It is to be feared that the woman smoker has welcome to a comforter in time of pain or trouble whic be the harshest of tyrants.
