In a city governed as New York is governed, public interest and public opinion are the ultimate propelling forces behind ali foresight tion of a council is enough. There they believe in allowing a fow mon in authority to imagine things and carry them out for the benefit of the people. Here we believe in letting the people in on the imagi-| nation business, that they may grasp and carry through improvements for themselves. We believe oure is the better way because it develops greater initiative, responsibility and pride in the citizens. The people of New York are ready to cultivate this kind of im- agination.. They can begin to look at the city with an eye to ite future. ‘Their vision should grow every year more confident, more daring. Great benefits and betterments, the cutting through of thorough- fates, the clearing of parks and plazas, the acquiring of valuable ptivate property for the public good—all these things often present obstacles of opposition and expense that to the timid seem insur- mountable, In most cases they are not insurmountable. Imagination and authority stride over or cut through them. A story told of the famous Baron Haussmann, who wrought won- ders in improving the streets of Paria, describes him collapsed one day in utter dejection in the inner workroom of Napoleon IIT. The resistance of private interests to his plan for a certain street through the heart of the city had completely discouraged him. “It’s im- possible,” he said, bitterly. “I see no way to build it.” “On the contrary,” replied the Emperor, “it is perfectly simple. Whereupon he caught up a ruler and a blue pencil and drew upon the | map of Paris a bold, straight line—which became the broad Boulevard | Sebastopol of to-day. | Public opinion here and now can do this city imperial service. Blue pencil the Equitable site. Begin to imagine New York. a MAKING THEMSELVES IMPOSSIBLE. HE latest outrage on the part of the London suffragettes in T pouring acid and ink into letter-boxes, thereby wantonly de- stroying letters containing cheques and draughts and causing inealeulable loss and embarrassment to the public, gives more cause seriously to think than ever. How long before their logic will push these addle-brained women to even more extremes? They argue that jviotent measures are necessary to force the government to attend to their demands. Then if making unbearable nuisances of themselves and destroying other people’s property fails to secure them the de- sired attention, will it come to shooting passersby in Piccadilly and blowing up the National Gallery? These English suffragists are mov- ing etraight on to a time when they will prowl hand in hand with the anarchists and require to be treated accordingly. Already they need the same police surveillance. This country should be proud that twenty thousand of its women who want the vote can march peaceably through the streets of Now York and draw wide and respectful attention to the strength of their demand without so much as a hint of these crazy, disgusting acts of | criminal frenzy and light-headednoss that disgrace their sistren across the seas. the streets? imposed upon landlords and owners. , Are there no rules | for the tenant? Why should it cost this city $40,000 2 year to sweep up the papers and rubbish that storekeepers fling into the street? The way to keep the streets tidy with least expense is {o measure out a few ounces of prevention in the shape of ordinences and pen- alties for those who cause the disorder. for throwing a paper on the sidewalk.
