It is a now to be seen whether from this double loss we can draw any profit in the way of wisdom | in dealing with the work of repair. | A new phase of public life has begun since the completion of the building. All forms of service are scrutinized more carefully | than before. Things that of old were covered up are now exposed. Bearching investigations are everywhere probing the crooked ways where business and politics form their conspiracies and put tnto effect their evil practices. It has been questioned, however, whether we have benefited by these exposures. Some have denounced them as “muck-raking” and declared no good has come of them. The repair of the Capito) will put the issue to @ test. Can the work be done promptly, economically and adequately? Oan we show an improvement on the system that expended over $25,000,000 to put up a building estimated to cost $4,000,000? a 7 eee CAREFUL AND PRUDENT. PON application to the District-Attorney’s office for information as to the law relating to the speed permitted to motor vehicles, Secretary Cor- nell, of the National Highways’ Protective So- ciety, was informed that the only provision is that no one shall drive at a rate that is not “care- | ful and prudent.” ‘There is in this limitation such an indefinite amplitude of as to allow room, scope and freedom for all sorts of opinions. It is doubtful if any two people in the city have the same concept of what constitutes prudence in driving a motor. It is even more doubtful | if there is any man that would have the eame mind on the subject when driving a car that he would have if he were not driving ft. That which appears carefn! to the chauffeur looks Ifke wanton reck- lessness to @ man that has to jump like a jack rabbit in crossing the street. In this contrariety of opinion the only sppeal is to the police- msn, and even his ideas on the subject are liable to vary with his tem- perament and his experience. ——-++-+--—_____ AN UGLY SUSPICION. ISCLOSURES that the Carnegie Trust Oompany paid commissions to men that brought them new depositors surprise nobody. Such payments are common. But it is surprising to learn that a loan was made to an official of Cornell University under ciroumstances that raise a suspicion that the object of the loan was to promote the election of a mem- ber of the trust company to the Board of Trustees of the University. ‘That was carrying the trail of serpentine finance too close to be Pleasant to a place that ought to be sacred from its approach. University control throughout the United States is inseparably bound up with boards of trustees composed of business men. Natu- rally enough these boards are becoming more and more filled with Foreign critics have pointed out the evil of such control, and we ourselves have seen evidences of It where professors were dismissed for not teaching what the interests Gestre. But there has never yet been a taint of bribery in the election wf @ trustes. Therefore the mere suspicion raised in this case is startling. A university should be above suspicion. ———_$- MITCHELL'S LEADERSHIP. OMW MITOHELL/S explanation of his surrender of his office in the Civic Federation with a salary of $6,000 a year at the command of his union is too notable to be passed over lightly in the news ot the day. “I gave it up,” eaid the, “for a principle. When I had power to enforce similar edicts I ordered other men to give up their money. I¢ would have been my lasting shame had I hesitated when the order came to me by my union.” ‘This is a clear, clean statement of the runciple that animates all genuine leadership inherent in the individual himeelf as distinet from that derived from office. The commander that is not willing to do that which he commands of others will soon lose command, He may retain his office, but he will forfeit hi authority, his inspiration, his power and his following. toe ee The Miners’ Union is fortunate in having the example as well as the counsel of a lender of this character, yy If the majority are wise they will not long require him to continue to forego a service where he has proven himself useful not only to hi | his fellow workmen but to the whole country, s union and to all | The Digit Problem.

She was this best loved child and was more beautiful and gentle than either of Bo, when Lear, who was very old and infirm, decided to divide his kingdom among his three largest, richest share, He also meant to give her in marriage to the powerful Duke of Bur- gundy who had crossed the English Channel ‘to woo her. Another suitor for Comielia’s hand was the young King of France. And ¢o him, rather than to Burgundy, the girl's heart inclined. Her elder sisters were already married to the Dukes of Cornwall and Albany, whom they did not love. In fact hoth these Duchesses were too selfish and greedy to care for anything beyond their own interests, Lear gummoned his three daughters to court one day and made pubttc hig purpose of relinquishing the burden of the crown and giving them his Posseasione, He added: “Whioh of you shall we say doth love us most? That we our largest deunty may extend where nature doth with merit challence?’ Gonertl, eur eldest born, speak first.” Goneril knew her father’s love of flattery and she proceeted to play cleverty WEAR HAREM SKIRTS - HOBBLE SKIRTS.

Regan answered that all her sister's words were true of her but that Goneri! nad not half described such devotion as Mean bore for her father. She declared that her one Joy in life waa her love for Lear. The delighted King perceiled out another huge tract of Britain for the second Mar. But he resolved to eave the fairest, finest part of the whole king dom for his beioved youngest daughter. Pager to hear this favorite ohtld'e praises he now bade her tell how dearty she loved him. Cordelia, who was far too honest to cringe and flatter for the sake of wealth, had listened with disgust to her sisters’ false avowals. She loved ‘her father Gearly. Yet she could not bring herself to talk of that sacred affection the others had adopted. So ehe answered briefty “T cannot heave my heart into my mouth. I love Your Matesty according to my bond. No more, no lees, I obey you, Igve you, and most honor you. Why have my eisters husbands if they say they love you ALL? When I wed, the lord (whose hand must take my plight) shall carry half my love with him, half my oare and duty. I shall never marry, like my sisters, to love my fether Lb" Lear, who had settled back with @ complacent smfie to hear Cordelta's answer, flew into a rege at this straightforward speech. He was too far gone in dotage to eee that her eweet honesty far outweighed her sisters’ crafty pro- tests of love. Furious with disappointment, he disinherited Corlelia and divided | her promised share of his kingdom between the victorious Regan and Goneril. ‘Then, turning to the Duke of Burgundy, the angry old man shouted. “Her price ts fallen! Wit you, with those infirmities she owes, dowered with our curee, take her or leave her?” Now, the Duke of Burgundy was @ thrifty man. He had been anxious to wed Cordelia when, by doing #0, he could wine third of Britain as her dowry. Now that @he was penniless and in disgmce, he had no intention of burdening himself with such a poor bargain. He curtly refused her. Lear, thinking to humiliate Cordelia still further, turned to the young King of France, who had stood allem while his rival cas aside the chance of wedding the unhappy princess. Lear sneeringly advised the French King to withdraw from so worthless a quest. But the young King, insterd of following Burgundy's example, said to the weeping girl: ‘Fatrest Cordelia, that ere most rich, being poor—most choice, forsaken—and most loved, despised! Thea and thy virtues here I seize upon. 1 take up what {s cast away. Not | all the Dukes of waterish Burgundy can buy this unprized, precious maid of me!" | Away to the French court he bore his beautiful young wife, And there the isinherited Comtelia, and the one man who had understood her merits, lived for @ time very happily.
