ONCERNING the report of the Pajo committee on the Money Trost, a distinguished banker of Boston says: “Pujo is a con- temptible cuss. He does not want facts; all he wanted was | news.” “This shows a confusion of language not to have been ex-, pectod from Boston, He that wishes news wishes facts; the words are | not synonymons, bui they connote one another. Farthermore, Pujo | tried facts. Tt was not ‘his fault if eminent financiers preferred to give sensational news by dodging questions, rather than | answer them, Mout to eon Street Journal tells of the exper to get the The Wall nee of a man who wished to borrow | st0and had gilt-edged security. Bankers refused him on the ground that the amount was t One of them is quoted as saying: “!f we lent money in small amounts even on ited from the Bat- ery to Harlem.” Such situation not mean a “Money Trust.” But it does mean that big finance has so gobbled up the money of the town that while it is easy to borrow a million, it is well-nigh impossible to horrow a hundred except from a loan shark. ‘This may not paes as newes but it is fact not to be gainswid even by calling the small bor- rower a “contemptible cuss,” — THE DEWAN ARREST AT TROY. PON the arrest of Dennis J. Dewan in Troy there needs a lot of light. It is charged that the object of the arrest waa for the purpose of finding out whut evid he had against the so-called “Highway Ring.” On the other hand, Mayor Burns of Troy asserts the arrest was due to a suspicion that Dewan is con- | with It is virtually conceded the charge of carrying concealed weapous bad no foundation. One side calls such arrest * The other side calls it “Frame up.” On the showing of either side it appears the police can in this country and under the forms of law arrest anybody they please on haseless charges and hold them indefinitely, or at least until they have orders from “higher up” toet go. The Dewan case is, there- fore, interesting to mor than compose the highway ring, or incendiary band, or even both combined. The difference in lib- and in law between a frame up and a technical charge is so hard to distinguish in some cases it should be illumined by the strongest hght of publicity that can be turned on it. po DOG MEAT AS A CHEAP DIET. HEN suggesting that civilized man may solve the immediute problem of the increased cost of living by eating dog meat, | Capt. Amundsen spoke as a philanthropist rather than an} epicure. He fried it in the Arctic and the Antarctic and found it | etter than no meat. When, however, he adds that it is cheaper than beef he goes out of his province and talks of things of which he has no experience. Once dog meat is accepted as a delicacy, the price will rise. A generation ago some astute etudents of food problems dis- covered a wonderful store in the Belgian hare. ‘The animal was introduced into this country with such flourish of sanguine predic- tions that the price of bucke rose from fifty cents to five hundred dollars. Then hares became so cheap end ¢o plentiful that in some parta, of the country it wes forbidden to turn them loose. A dog diet might lead to much worse things than the bare speculation. Those that wish to ‘try it should follow Amundsen to the farthest north. The climate -helps ‘the taste. ——————E “~ "TRYING TO EVADE HOME RULE. Y ASSEMBLYMAN WALKER a bill has been introduced at Albany to amend the charter of New York so as to confer on the Board of Aldermen euthority to grant to the owner or lessee of property abutting on eny strect or avenue a license to o3- tablish a private hack stand on the street adjacent to his premises. There are several distinct objections to this measure; its of- fenses are many. But one is sufficient to condemn it and should be sufficient to doom it. It is an appeal to the Legislature in a mat- ter that concerns material interests of the city and does not con- cern the State. The regulation of cabs and of cab stands is one of local government. It is as certainly a part of home rule as any- thing that can be imagined in municipal work. The question of cab regulation has now been under consideration hore for a year. The appeal to Albany is therefore dilatory. It is an attempt to head off reforms that are needed and are now vir- tually in sight. The case is one where popular protest should be made promptly and with vigor.
