G" SULZER'S assurance given to a representative delegation that the administration has no intention of doing away with the State Department of Weights and Measures would have been more gratifying had it not been accompanied by the statement: “We have got to bring the State of New York up to a present day business condition; put it on a business basis and run it honestly along economical lines in the interest of the taxpayers.” If these words mean that the administration deems the Department of Weights end Mcasures an extravagance, and that the purpose is to reduce ap- propriations, then the promise of maintaining the department is a mere futility. It might as well be abolished as reduced to impotenco. Repeated investigations made in cities and in States and by the we Federal Government have disclosed that the use of light weights and — repre short measures has become one of the worst abuses of our commercial fp) ROP HERE N life. The taint ofthe fraud extends from the petty hucksters on the streets to the giant manufacturers that send out short weight or Es hort measure packages by the millions. So widespread is the evil that the manufacturers of weights and measures have an enormous @emand for the fraudulent articles. In the face of these disclosures it would be worse than folly for government at Albany to strip the State Department of Weights and Measures of either its powers or ite appropriations for work. No wiser economy can be practised than that of protecting the taxpayer from the cheat. tp THE RIGHT OF THE TEACHER. ROF. M’MURRY’S report to the School Inquiry Committec directs attention to a defect in our system of public instruction that should be remedied in the first programme of reform. It fe that of a lack of a sufficient authority vested fm the teacher to enable him to enforce discipline in the school room and compel the respect of the pupils. * In the course of popular clamor against punishment we have reached 4 point where the school teacher has hardly any authority to @eal with the unruly and tho vicious among his classes. It is in vain he appeals to the parents, for when they do not dismiss the issue as ene of no concern to them, they are prone {o take the side of their children. An illustration is even now under way in New Jersey where the action of « school superintendent in suspending a number of boys for persisting in violating the rule against smoking cigarettes reused such indignation among the parents thet they talk of appoaling te the State Commission of Education. When the authority of a school teacher can be appealed from by any sort of bad boy or cunning girl, when all means of adequate ment are taken from him, when parents refuse to assist him {m his work, it is hardly fair to hold him responsible for echool disci- Has the teacher no right that either the pupil, the school beard, the public or the parent is bound to respect? ee rd THE INSPIRATION OF HIGHWAYS. FTER deeply debating whether the Lincoln momorial should be a great highway from Washington to Gettysburg or a monumental structure in the form of a Greek temple to be Yateed in Potomac Park, Congress voted for the’temple. The argu- ment was that a highway would serve only as s joy ride and s0 dese- erate the memory of Lincoln, while the Greek structure will uplift ‘the art ideals of the people and serve as an inspiration. ebccccccoocooooeeceoooooooo+oooeee coceoooooooeoseet Mr. Jarr Is Harlem’s Favorite Son, but His Glory Will Be Brief 90899099890090000 000900008899 8SS9R0N2IN000090090009 . és iter; pickles, with compliments and polite re-/dinner party for the Jarrs, Mrs, Rangle military matters and strategic prob- Quests for @ continuation of Mim Jarre ‘tearfully upbraided her husband for|!ems, having lost the opportunity of de- valued patronage. having once belonged to a military, Voting all his junior clerkship's energy Mr, and Mrs. Stryver were planning a|company and thus, his mind bent upon tting on in life as Mr, Jarr had.

E ARE TOLD by the explorers of the mysteries of New York that the effect of closing the big gambling houses of the underworld bas been that of starting little ones in apart- |, ments of high life. The underworld demanded layouts that cost from | === $1,000 to $1,500. The apartment is more simple as well as smaller, and is content with a roulette wheel at a price of $50. But the games have lost none of their attractiveness in losing all of their grossness, The stakes run high, for the limit is somewhere about the orbit that comets take. There are no longer male cappers slouching round sa- loons, but ladies of sweetest charm who resort to the parlors of proud hotels, to tea rooms, to milliner shops and to the most delect- able restaurants. ‘Thus is fulfilled again the old saying that what is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh. That is to say, what man has engendered woman will continue to foster. Of old, men gambled without letting their wives know. Now the wife gambles and the husband doesn’t know.

FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD boy in the uniform of a midshipman turned at the doorway of his Virginia home one morning is 1746 to say goodby to his mother. In his pocket was a com- mission as midshipman in the British navy. His luggage was already aboaftd a waiting British warship in the Potomac River. A fine career stretched before the Virginia planter’s son. His mother, a rather hard-faced woman of strong, imperious char- acter and peppery temper, came forward to receive his farewells, And then all at once she forgot sho was a strong-minded matron and remem- bered only that she was a widowed mother whose eldest and best loved child was leaving her. She broke down and wept—perhaps for the ony time in public—and entreated her son to stay at home. The boy obeyed without a murmur. He took off his gay new uniform and tmeckly went back to school. His mother’s rare moment of weakness had robbed the | British navy of a good officer, and had given America a liberator and nation | bullder. For the boy who sacrificed @ career to please his mother was George Washington. Mary Ball was a Virginia beauty tn the old Colonial days. Her education was scanty. And to the day of her death she could not spell i correctly. Neither could Washington, for that thatter.

She was twenty: | four at the time of the wedding—an old maid by the standards of those days, when many girls married at fifteen or even eariler. Here history grows momentarily hazy. According to most reports the Wash- ingtons went directly to Augustin's Westmoreland plantation in Virginia, and George, the eldest of their six children, was born there. But another version declares that they lived for some time at Cookham, England, and that George Washington was born there, That he was born tn England and did not come to America until some time later was positively asserted by Mrs. Morer, daughter of his old-time nurs, though it is the general belief that he was born in Vir- ginta. When George was but eleven his father died, Mary Washington henceforth ruled the plantation and her own family with the traditional “rod of iron.” The Revolution came and went. Her son rose to world greatness, But Mary continued to live as a plain farmer, running her Virginia plantation and mingling little with outside interests. Faintly at firet and then clamorously the world's praise of her hero-son reached her. When one admirer extolled Washington's Breatness she answered placidly: “I have no doubt George deserves well of his country, but that is no excuse for flattering him.” When Lafayette paid his respeots to her and praised her son she replied: “ not surprised at what George has done. He was always a good boy.” A lavish ball was given in honor of our country's freedom, Washington per- suaded his mother to attend it, But as the clock struck nine she beckoned hire to her as though he were still a schoolboy, and said: “Come, Geot It's time for old people to be at home.” She never saw her son after he stopped at cottage on his way to hte own inauguration. A few months later (Aug. 25, 1789) she died of cancer. By t! terms of her will she was buried in a shady corner of her farm at a spot wh she had been wont to sit daily and read her Bible.
