OTEL MEN report that tho patronage of their places of business !s breaking all records for the spring season. That 1s, of course, in no wise surprising, for {n the continuous increase of the travelling population there will naturally be each successive season a larger number of visitors to the city. But {t may also bo that we are getting semething more than the ordinary increase, Thore is unquestionably room for St. The United States is in need of a great epringtime holiday efty. At this season winter tourists are returning from California, from the South and from tho West Indies. Summer tourists are preparing for trips to Canada or to Burope. All of these people ought to pass a month or so in this city. | New York has not the artistic advantages of Paris, but it has a) @aperior geographical situation and a larger and richer public to pro- | vide for. With co-operation and energy in sustaining attractive fea-| tares of spring life, the hotel and the theatre men could ensily make | New York a May time city as gay as Paris {teelf. ee HUMORS OF SLEUTH WOR‘. HIO contributes to the bribery ecandals of the aeason something with a touch of humor in it. An enterprising Legislator having been approached with offers of bribery had tho villain arrested. | Then it was discovered that the supposed villain was a detective hunting whom he could bribe. Farther investigations disclosed an elaborate plant with Aictaphones under « sofa, secret wires, concealed stenographers | and enough other mysterious paraphernalia to make up the property | of @ melodrema. | Sleuths found that the men they were watching were also sleuths | watching other men. It was rubberneck rubbering rubberneck. It | was gumshoe after gumshoe. Sherlock Holmes’s pursuit of Raffl was nothing to it. To such conditions have our practices of combining business with politics brought the country. There is, perhaps, more spying going on in the United States than in Russia, It was inevitable that sooner of later detectives would be so thick somewhere that one set of them would step on the toes of the other and drag dictaphones and detectaphones into garish day. What next? fe | TARIFF BOARD BLUNDERS. ENATOR STONE'S discovery that the figures compiled by the Board of Tariff Experts concern- eeeeoeeees ing the cost of farm labor in the United States sf and in Canada are erroneous will be disappointing to those who have fondly hoped the Board would | take the tariff out of politics and enable us to have | a strictly scientific law on the subject. The errors in the figures are said to be “blunders,” but inasmuch | as they occur consistently on the eide of the high protectionist that | oppose reciprocity, there is reasonable ground for euspecting they | were not wholly uninspired by a misguided partisanship. | Senator Stone declared the felse statements had heen sent out! in such a way as to cohvey the impression of being handled by an or- ganized propaganda with the object of making farmers beliove they are being wronged by the reciprocity measure. Inasmuch as the President is responsible for the measure, and also for the Tariff Board, the task of dealing with both the blun-; derers and the blunders is up to the Administration. Mr. Taft should | get busy. THE NEW SECOND DEPUTY. esse UDGED by his declarations, Mr. Dougherty enters \val upon his work as Second Deputy Police Com-| missioner in a serene frame of mind. Recom- | mended for the place by his predecessor, and| accepting it upon his advice, he has had such! changes in the staff as he may have de- sired made to his hand without activity on his | part, and has apparently a clear field before him. He is quoted as saying: “The so-called crime wave has been gross- ly exaggerated. I believe conditions are about normal.” That has a safe and sane sound, but it means that normal con- ditions are bad. The record of crimos in the daily news cannot be dismissed as exaggerations. They are the facts of current life, It may not be possible to put an end to them all, but to reduce the existing normal output of that sort onght to be feasible by the police if properly directed and energetically led. There is surely a chance | for somebody in the Police Department to make a reputation. | ternnennnnnnnnnennnannomannnnnnnnnnnnnannannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns'4 Letters From the People!

NOM upon a thme there was an Ideal Husband, who came home regu- larly every night to dinner—ond STAYED at home until morning. He wore the same coat for two seasons in order that Mer whe might have two hate for one season. He brought Ms ealary home every Saturday wight and kept up the ineurance until the policy almost! lapsed from astonishment. (Remember this 4s a fairy tale.) ! Everybody said that his wife ought to be perfectly happy, but she wasn't. ! 8he hod married in order to get an ardent admirer and found that she had acquired a life critic. She had married for compliments and kiseee and was not satisfled with three meals a day and a peck on the check in their stead, She had married for entertaining compantoneMp, but her husband's conversation consisted entirely of monosyliables, grunts and growls. Hite (deg of a atimulating Lad was to go home and let her boas ly Mm read the newspaper. And Ma conception of affording the female intellect plenty of tila pabulum was to read her the jokes from the comic sheet occastonally. He was jidgety about his meals, and one burnt discuit or a cup of @old coffee made him act Kke an early Ohristian martyr for a week. One day, in a spirit of extreme ennui, she packed her trunk ee on nounced that she was going to Reno. t Aa he had always let her have her way, the husdand did not pe § Dut bought her ticket and paid her board bill until she got a chance fo @ell the Judge what a BRUTH he was. When it was all over she settled down on the alimony to enjoy hered}. But eomehow she missed the mormng and evening growls, and the way Me women who had held onto their Rusdands patronized her got om her merves. So she began to take notice. , At this psychological moment a nice looking young man happened along and made love to her ike the hero of a Laura Jean Libbey novel in Chapter Three. 4 Tt aounded a0 fascinating that she married him. ‘ Thereupon he resigned his position eo that he might have more seg, | to make love to her. When the alimony stopped coming in she started a doarding-Rouse a willingly slaved all day to support wim. In the evenings he made her lie down on the sofa, while he pe her forehead and told her that a wonderful Kttle woman she was, aa read the Rubaiyat and Anthony Hope to her. Ile never missed a chance to pay her a graceful compliment or to pick up her handkerchief, and the way he spent her money on her made her MOST grateful. ° Thus, she Uved hepptly all the rest of her life—and never KNEW that she wns a Good Thing. Moral: Soft soap ts the best lubricant with which to keep the whedte of matrimony running emoothly. Also, @ good husband may be the salt of the earth, but he somettnee seema more like the pepper. ) "1 do."* the other ansdered hots, “and with Their Salaries, | "2.0 wnt do pou pay your hands?” Mr, Meer linquted, "I'm thfaking of staring an ert fee tory myself,” —Washington Sear, lon | “yee arene sont a return to agriculture. to| Squelched. ‘the farm pays as roorly As apprentice | sed to do—and you know what the SC eda te," eal Very, Young, Mr, est ‘ that, making « ‘m only a mats ie, agpreaties, “Sant a dsion of wuler!™” caked” Abie clothing the first year, clothiug and board the ; ‘board and | second year, and both of them tbe third year, | —Ingpanyolls Journal, ——_—.— | Among Themselves. sssspardHheaon A Needful Light.
