From thir decision there is no appeal. It seemingly follows that | subway extension: wi'l not relieve traffic until elevated improvements | are made. Thus one delay may mean two delays, and from the couple @ third is likely to tpfing, just as the construction of a courthouse | is heid back at a cost of $1,000 a day because of « disagreement over circle and rectangle. This is known as the city of “Hurry” in the land of “Get There.” In London an invertor has demonstrated the practicable use of an serobus carrying ten persona for a flight sustained through twenty minutes. It is possi.ie we may have less need of either elevated or subway when they are ready to connect, In proposing that Congress set apart a national day of observ- ance as “Fathers’ ah the ladies were thoughtful enough to fix ‘the date so it will always fall on a Sunday, thus giving the old man t chance to enjoy it himself. WHERE ‘‘SUGGESTION” OFTEN BEGINS. ISCUSSING the effects of a certain class of plays, Dean Sum- ner of Chicago Cathedral said: “Lots of people take a good thing that can be made suggestive and exploit it. In the ease of the picture ‘September Morn,’ a beautiful artistic painting has been exploited for the single purpose of suggesting lasciviousness and indecency. It is the same way with the drama.” The analogy is close, but to get the right moral, one must keep in mind the facts of the case. It was not any immoral agency that started suggestions about the much discussed and now sadly degraded picture. They originated in the mind of a highly professional and official moralist whose eye was the first to see and whose actions were first to advertise them. Even so most of the so-called “brothel plays” of the season were suggested first by ill-considered, ill-regulated and ill-condacted moral movements. When in the course of exposing crime newspapers sometimes eet weak-minded people to imitating the criminals, reformers of more geal than reason demand a censorship of the press. Shall they hot now in the name of consistency demand a censorship of the activities oft Anthony Comstock and the junior Rockefeller? ——_-4-—______. ‘Be ‘Assertion by a brewery expert that we are not producing enough raw material for the manufacture of beer to meet the demand follows naturally enough on the complaint of butchers that we are ‘get producing corn enough to fatten beef and pork.

She will help decrease accidents.” The enterprise is the more interesting because a similar one {m Paris, that of women cab drivers, had a great vogue for a time, but {s now reported to be almost as far gone as the fashions of yesteryear. New York women may succeed where Parisian women fail. They often do, The feminist movement there is » slight thing compared with the mighty amplitude of that in America. On the score of Gaccess, early and prolonged, little fear may therefore be felt, but the intimation about « probable decrease of accidents excites anxiety.
