UESTIONED by the investigating committee of the House concerning the affairs of the United States Stee! Corporation, Judge Gary eaid the Bureau of Corporations has been delving into the affairs of the company for years and has piled up enough reports and statements and other documents to fill acommittee room. ‘Thereupon the chairman of the investigating committee, Mr. Stanley, was so surprised that in the moment of mental flurry he asked if President Taft knew anything about the matter. The Bureau of Corporations is not an old broom, but a new one. It was established and set to work by the present generation of Oon- gressmen and there was a great palaver over it when it was started. One might reasonably expect, therefore, that Congress would know what the Bureau had been doing to justify its existence and spend its money. But it appears not. The Government at Washington has the biggest ‘printing office in the world, and it prints lots of stuff. But if it has ever printed anything about the Steel Trust researches of the Bureau of Corpora- tions, the output has been carefully kept from the general public. The surprise of Chairman Stanley, therefore, is shared by a lerge number of sympathizing fellow countrymen. Judge Gary had a scoop. +- TEACHERS AND THE TAUGHT. ON the purpose of safeguarding the sight of pupils in the public schools the Board of Education gave instructions that a list of rules on the subject be pasted in every school book. The list was printed on pasters ready for convenient use and the teach- ers were expected to set about the task of distrib- uting them. But they didn’t. It is stated that Jess than ten per cent. of echpol principals have even so much as Applied for them, . This is but another whimsical illustration of how much easier it is to teach others than to be one of those that obey the teaching. Had any pupil been so negligent of 2 school rule as have been these teachers, there would have been immediate steps toward enforcement of the rules. But in this case there will be more deliberation and kind- persuasion. Still, in the end, the pasters may he duly placed in y school bool, and cach pupil will learn how to take care of his going to make sure that the rules will be followed ? | But who is PARK VAGRANTS, SOVERY in the park stables of two horses that have done no work for upward of two years pute a comic glow on the inefficiency of the park adminis- tration. But there have long been much worse idlers in the parks themselves than the two happy horses in the stable. How inany workmen on the | payroll have been virtually idle, and how many higher salaried beneficiaries of the system have been equally un- sweated by toil and unvexed by worry But the worst idlers in the parks are the hoboes and vagrants | and sturdy beggars by day who are doubtless something more danger- ous by night. ‘There is no sufficient reason for tolerating these loaf- | ers in the parks, or, indeed, in any part of the city. It was pointed out last winter by authorities on our social problems that the number | of street vagrants has largely increased within a few years, and the increase has been continuous. Evidently there is a certain ease of | life here that tramps do not find elsewhere, for they are making them- selves at home with us and virtually dominate the parks and squares | from the City Hall to Bryant Park, | low Tall Was the Tower? 2 the Kaitor of The Evening World: We came to a very tal tower, on ch the morning suniight wae beat- “I wonder how tall that tower ts sked.
