I will make them myself and at the proper time.” | The policy thus announced is not so prudent as it seems. It} would of course be advantageous to Mr. McCall to leave Tammany | out of consideration and talk of something else, the weather for in- stance, provided he could get voters interested fm the subject. It is quite certain, however, he cannot do that. He can no more make an issue for the people than Judge Stimson or some one else can make one for him. Issues, like poets, are born, not made. They arise from the complexities of life and are inherent in the facts of the social order or disorder. So iong as Tammany maintains its well known attitude toward public welfare, ao long will its menace be the dominant issue a ee The Evening World Daily Magazine, Th Can You Beat It? @ of every municipal campaign. Mr. McCall cannot invent one to take ite place. Last week, in the first flush of pride over his nomination, he proclaimed he would defend the order against “untruthful asser- tions” and expose their authors when he started in. This week he is starting in by backing out. ——————— BILLBOARD ADVERTISING AGAIN. ECOMMENDATIONS made in a report to the Mayor by the R Billboard Advertising Commission are much the same as have been made by like commissions or committees to Mayors or to Boards of Aldermen in bygone years. @Nor are they notably dissimilar from reports on the eame subject made in various other cities of the United States. Billboard advertising is a legitimate and customary industry, but subject to the drawback that it tends almost inevitably to become first an eyesore, then @ nuisance, then a menace and then a misde- meanor.’ Each and all of these defects are so frequent in the display of euch advertising and have been so often noted and condemned, it hardly seems worth while to go again over the familiar ground. The one thing made clear in all studies of the subject is that the business should be subject to strict regulation and incessant su- pervision. It appears, however, from the report under review that in tome important respects such supervision cannot be established in this city without « constitutional amendment. When a community finde it necessary to amend the fundamental law to suppress a local ruisance, it is time to make a fight for home rule all along the line. ———— A SIDE LIGHT ON BRITISH SPORT. ONDON despatches announce that a noted amateur golfer hae L become a professional because he found himself crowded out of the former class by sociel pretension. Writing to “The Golf Monthly” he says his chief offense is that of being an artisan, having been employed first as a gardener and then as a chauffeur. He adds: “There are golf game classes in England and an artisan golfer is not wanted in amateur circles,” This incident helps to an understanding of the weakness of amateur athletics in Great Britain as compared with the United States and some European countries. So long as men of good char- acter are shut out of the domain of sporte solely because of a lack of social standing and class prestige, so long will the British have to content themselves with sports carried on solely for play, without am- bition to win. It is not impossible, however, that the stress of international athletics may rouse among the democracy of the three Kingdoms a Fevolt against this form of stupidity. The playground put an end , to anobbery. SS SEO ey ‘CAMP STOOLS IN CROWDED CARS. JHE young woman who assures herself @ seat in the subway T _ ears by carrying a camp atool with her may prove to be the beginner of a movement that will go far and make much noise before it stops. Her plan of self provision is 80 simple it will be easy for many to follow the example, and if many should do so there is going to be trouble; or, rather, there would be trouble if New Yorkers as @ people were not so obedient to corporation rule as to submit to any discomfort the overthrow of which would be displeasing to corpora- tion managers. That the subway management could provide an ampler supply of seats for passengers is indisputable. The fact is that the moment the rush hour traffic is over they cut down the service so that even | when the number of passengers is smallest there are still some that have to stand. The lady with the camp stool brings the issue direct; but it will take militancy to win. rH After a healthy existence of sixty-five years “The Independent” comes out in a new and attractive form with every evidence of renewed youth and vigor.
