HE FUTILE CONDUCT of public affairs jare the nerves of T President Whitridge of the Third Avenue Railway beyond cll bearing. After considerable experience, Mr. Whitridge says he finds public officials in general and Public Service Commissioners ia particular painfully small potatoes. As for the Interstate Com- merce Commission, that body has shown its utter imbecility by pro- Posing to value the railroads, a task which Mr. Whitridge is sure will waste millions upon “as senseless « folly as any scheme of John Law's No ero Wias oF Cor (The New York venting World.) Song of a Summer Boarder. H” dear to my heart is that city apartment— That two-by-four flat that I once thought so small: The icebox, the couch and the deep, snowy bathtub, The hot and cold water, the lift in tho hall, The sweet kitchenette, with its faithful dumbwatter, @ The wide, roomy closets, six lights in the wall; : The telephone, mail chute, the fleet, smiling bellboye— Those precious home comforts—I long for them all! . ‘ What a charming trip a husband and wife might také around the world if only they could start in opposite directions.

Mr. } Whitridge is a highly efficient organizer and executive, with much } @onsequent conceit and an inveterate desire to be let alone in anything he sees fit todo. We hope he will try to bear with the stupid publio which has made up its mind in its stupid way to get an inkling of ite own interests in the belief that a little information on the subject will be cheap at any price. For example, New Yorkers have a notion that a few millions gpent some years since on knowledge which might have saved them fhe loss of $500,000,000 in the Ryanization of their street railways would have been s sound investment. In the same way the country at large is now determined to know more sbout its railroads, including i} ~~ —s what they are worth for other purposes than that of high finance. “Beeing life” does not necessarily mean seding the seamy side of @, any more than “living” means tasting the dregs; although these are the generally accepted versions of the terms by those who have never Gepe either, Why 1s it that. @ woman always seems to have a tenderer feeling Gor | the kind of man who {s constantly “reforming” than for the kind who eon- stantly behaves? taney in \ A man who fs about to be hanged may sometimes eat a good, square / meal.
