SHONTS has given his word to The Evening , World that he will recommend to his company to withdraw from their subway proposition the clause requiring the city to make up any deficit that might result from the adoption of a single) five-cent fare between the city and Coney Island. i If the recommendation be approved by the di- rectors, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will, of course, have to make an equally clear pledge of a similar service. Thus (1 the long-desired single fare to and from Coney Island is virtually assured in prospect The isene is one in which The Evening World has long fought the fight for public interests, When the original proposition of the Interborough was submitted, The Evening World pointed out the “joker” in the clause that Mr. Shonis now promises to have waived, if his directors will agree. And there is every reason to , believe they will agree. A single five-cent fare to Coney Island means a great deal to working men and women who like to take their families with them to the seaside. ‘I'o them it is not a mere question of petty economy. The higher fare is often prohibitory in some cases. he cheaper q access means more health and more enjoyment for the masses ‘The seoner it is put in force the better. sists 788/889 Hien a 99.75 ‘ 85 , i Hy i i] > Just THs ONE Show more, THE LAW OF CONTRARIETY. dinners the the clams, HEN asked if at the Steel Trust . champagne did not come in with Judge Gary replied: “That was what Joe Butler, the wit of the business, said; but | doubt if he oe eats clams or drinks champagne.” Tt was always so, ‘The man that wrote “Home, Sweet Home,” had no home. The author of “The Old Oaken Bucket” was a bummer of the city and never drank wate either from a bucket or a pump. The man that wrote of a long: / ing for “A Life on the Ocean Wave” stayed in town and never went to sea. The woman that writes best on how to raise children haa no children. He that said “Virtue is its own reward” never had a virtue or a reward. | It i regrettable that Judge Gary hes recalled the law of con-| trariety to us in this way and just at this time, when all men were having a summery confidence in his testimony. Vor if a call for champagne to come in with the clams be just ao much steel railery from a man more witty than epicurean, may not Judge Gary’s de- mand for more Governmental supervision be a mere matter of irony? | Tt is not everybody that calls loudest for regulation that is most will- ing to be regulated.
