The kind of sense which is most necessary is the knowledge of t the people want and that when the people insist it is a part of wisdom for a boss to fall in line. Charles P. Murphy has fallen in line on the subway question. More subways are not only most important to the health, Gee fare amd prosperity of the People| of New York, but the people have become thoroughly aroused to the fact. Through the district leaders and election district captains Mr. Mur-| phy has become convinced that no man who is opposed to more subways can poll a majority of the votes of this community. | No matter how lavish Thomas F. Ryan may be in his campaign contributions, no matter what the B. R. T. and the Inter.-Met. would prefer, Mr. Murphy realizes that no corruption fund, however large, would be sufficient to carry an election against the overwhelming subway sen- timent. | This is what the vote at the Board of Estimate meeting meant when Ooler, Cromwell, Ahearn, Bermel, Haffen and Sullivan out-voted McClel- Yan and Metz, and authorized bids for the Fourth avenue subway, which és part of The Evening World's tri-borough plan. Every borough president voted aye. That is because no borough [7 G>< President could be a successful candidate for re-election if he voted ‘Yes 1M ana AVE BEEN DECEIVED OUL 19.

Rogers asks him to do, and Don’t Ever Try to Advise Your Wife About Her New Spring Hat ! Rogers is one of the “private capitalists” who are v subway extensions as they desire on their own terms. Comptroller Metz now says that he will prevent the building of sub- ways by refusing to register the contracts; that he will give other con-| tracts preference and that he will see to it that there is no money! available. What Comptroller Metz says, however, is not discouraging. Comp- troller Metz has said many things about subways before. Whatever he! Says now the public may he sure that in a few di or a few weeks he will say something else. Like the financial statements which he issues from time to time, no two concur and every one contradicts its prede- cessors.

HIS is the story of a man who was at one time perhaps the best-hated official in America. His life is bare of many of the spectacular deeds that made the diographies of most of the characters of his time #0 (thrilling. For Madison was a politician rather than a hero, A thinker rather ¢han a man of action. A diplomat rather than a fighter. And moet of hia clatms to greatness are for deeds accomplished long before he was made President. His two most spectacular feats were refusing to buy @ petty election with whiskey and running {nto hiding when the British captured Washington in 1814. This country owes to him its Constitution and several other great measures. Perhaps his life story, as told here, may, be stupid. But I will try to make {t as interesting as possible. Madison's father (like Washington's, Adams's and Jefferson's) was @ | well-to-do farmer. The fourth President was born on his parents’ Virginia | plantation, being the eldest of twelve children. All our earHer Presidente were members of large families. In newly settled lands such families are the rule, not the exception, as in present-day America, Madison was grec uated at Princeton in 1771. He was intended for the ministry, but changed his mind and became a lawyer. Almost at once he plunged into the troublous politics of his native State, rising rapidly to high local honors and fame at an age when most young men ere still toiling up the lowest rungs of life's ladder. In 1776 he was set to work on a constitution for Virginia and was elected to that State's first Legislature. His refusal to buy drinks for . thirsty voters defeated him for a second legtejative term. This and his rigid temperance principles in a hard-drinking age and gection won him not a little } ridicule. So did his noncombatant attitude. Though 3 the Revolution was by this time in full swing, Madison | ~ took no active part in fighting ‘ts battles. He hated war and had no military genius. But, during this trying period, his tongue | and pen served the cause well im Congress. Equally so when, at the war's end, the currency question rose. There was a tendency to flood the land with useless paper money. Madison warned the people against this foolish, dangerous custom. It {s partly due, probably, to his antagonism that we escaped bankruptcy. A condition Nttle better than anarchy followed the Revolution. We were free, but did not know how to govern ourselves. Madison was ap pointed to a committee for framing a national constitution. In this capacity Madison, with consummate legal genius, drew up an “outline” which was the germ of the Constitution now in use. His shrewd, logical common-sense, his political skill and his foresight enabled him to frame @ focument which, though violently opposed at the time, has ever since been the foundation stone of our government. For his part in giving us that Constitution, 1f for nothing else, the United States owes James Madison a debt that should never be forgotten It was also Madison's brilliant argument, more than anything else, that led to the Constitution’s adoption in the face of a whirlwind of objections. To SEE IF His chief opponent in the matter was the famous Patrick Henry, who re- | You Love venged his own defeat by contriving to keep Madison out of the first United States Senate when the latter came up for election to that house. He won ME admission to Congress, however, In 1788, where he became recognized leader of the “Opposition.” | When Jefferson came to the Presidency, In 1801, he made Madison his Secretary of State. Many of Jefferson's wise measures during the next few years were prompted or aided Madison. especially in trying to avoid war with England. When, at the close of his second term, in 1809, Madison succeeded him, dark days were at hand. War with Great Britain could no longer be avoided. But Madison contrived to stave it off until th British press declared “the Yankees cannot be kicked {nto fighting. Minally, in 1812, England’s increasing !nsults, combined with public opin- ion, forced him to declare war. The nation at large, however, was lukewarm over the confilct. Madison had no skill as a martial director. He had at first no competent generals, Our army and navy were in wretched condition.
