A QUESTION OF FRIENDS. OMMISSIONER EUSTIS says: “One great reason | why McAdoo is so popular and the Interborough | is ao unpopular is the way they treat the public.” Thia is but a modern illustration of the saying | of Solomon: “He that would have friends must show himself friendly.” Te may be that tho Interborough people believe “there is no friend like a sixpence.” They are apparently more enger to pursue a dollar than to please the public. When there is no longer rush | to overcrowd the cars they reduce the service. On a single | Sunday, 80 the Public Service Commission reports, 13,000 persons | ‘were compelled to stand in the cars because not enough were run | te afford seats for all. | _ In its devotion to the dollar the Interborough has evidently for- “there is an economy that tendeth to poverty.” It has also | that subways were constructed for the benefit of the public. is the reason nobody favors more privileges for the Interborough. ns OLD-TIME TALK. F our monetary and our banking laws Secretary MacVeagh reports to Oongrees: “Our system can fairly be called a panic-breeding system, whereas every other great national banking and currency system is panic preventing.” We have heard that wisdom before. We have heard it so often that, like Sir John Falstaff, we are liable to fall into frzBation and denounce it as “damnable iteration.” ** Far back in the time when Hayes was President and John Sher- man was a live financier, we were told of the absurdity of our money jaws. Since then wo have had the tale repeated every time Congress | meets. There have been reports on the subject and books on it, and | @ommittees and conferences, and Aldrich has gone up and down the country lecturing on it. We have now a commission that is making an international study of all the banking and money systems of the | world. But what is the use? Thirty years of talk and still, talking. What power, what obstacle, what phantom is blocking the way to ? e etn ca eam PUNISHMENT OF CONSUMERS. R. JAMES J. HILL says of the tariff tax imposed upon imports from Canada: “It is not protection. It is mere punishment of the consumer to per- petuate an industrial condition that is ns dead as slavery.” Yet it is to the maintenance of that sort of thing that a powerful body of organized wealth is devoting its ener- gies. It is foolish, as Mr. Hill says, that there should be a tax of six cemts a pound on butter, five cents a dozen on eggs and twenty- five cents a bushel on potatoes. But there are people to whom such taxes are profitable, and they are allied to other people that draw profits from similar tariff taxes. , Held together “by the cohesive power of public plunder,” these privileged interests purpose to prevent any immediate step toward tariff reduction. We are told that Congress during the whole of the winter is to stand pat and do nothing. Is it possible that the high protectionists in their folly believe the people are fools? —————— 04 f THE FOUK PER CENT.

It + Ten Roads for a Happy Business Woman By Sophie Irene Loeb Copyright, 1910, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World), 1. “Business Is Business.”’ A GIRL writes to The Evening World suggesting some roads for a Happy Business Woman. She says, For there ane so many of us." Business women? How many? Why there are 6,000,000 of us! And were they to put the 6,000,000 strong in a plot and bulld a high stone wall around it, the OUTER world would be scrambling to scale that wall! They would have made a PROGRESSIVE centre unequalled anywhere. For to pic- ture a commercial condition MINUS the FEMININE gen- dor Is almost beyond imagination. ‘The ‘business woman with her intuitive powers, her reasoning faculties, her innaté ‘capacity for bearing lbur- Aens has made herself the KEYSTONE in the FOUNDA- TION of many a@ secure structure In the realm of trade. What has brought all this about? The ADVANCE of commerce. Commerce is sending things from where they are PLENTIFUL to where they are NEEDED. The other countries need us and we need them more every day.

Somebody made a machine that could do her work and put it in a workshop AWAY from the home, Grandfather thought It undignified for a man to “spin,” even if it wae a machine, and so the mothers and daughters came forth in the field of finance; and, jo! have multiplied In numbers ever since.
