DDRESSING the Real Estate Board of Brokers at their annual dinner, Goy. Dix, after saying “the problems of the city are complex,” added: “They cannot be solved in Albany or in Washington. They a must be met and solved here, whether of rapid POATS TRAIN ain transit or of municipal matters.” TAtaNe eee he plea thus stated for home rule would have lingered more WELT Wel! pleasantly in the mind had not one of the other speakers in following the Governor said: “Our local politics is a commercial business con ducted about half the time in the robbers’ cave down on Fourteenth street.” Ample allowance must be made, of « . for the exaggeration of after-dinner rhetoric, but when all deductions are made the two sayings present the facts of our situation with a fair degree of accu- racy. Our local problems must be settled by home rule. But home rule is largely dominated by Tammany and tho big interests. What is the Governor going to do about it? ee Oe ey : LIVING IN JAIL. OMEWHAT humorous is the story from Boston 4 that Federal prisonors havo beon removed from - the Suffolk County jail in that city to the Middle- « sex jail in East Cambridge becauro of the increase in the cost of living. Suffolk County had been keeping the Fedoral guesis upon a round price of thirty-five cents a day, but lately seni _ in a notice that hereafter the price would bo fifty cents, As a conse- _ quence the Federals have left the oxtravagant city and sought economy ~ in the suburbs. While the affair is to be regretted, Boston is not to blame.
