RECENT REMARK in this column to the effect that, when A the Superintendent of Bellevue Hospital advertises fifteen laundry jobs for unskilled workers, offering board and lodging end 615 per month without attracting a single applicant, something worse than hard luck must have struck some of the unemployed— evoked the following: To the Editor of The Eveniny World: This editorial is no good. Would you, if you had to, work physically about sixteen hours for the remuneration of fifty conts a day and then prob ably walt a month or two till you got {t—and on the grind all (Re time? Would you? ‘Then éen't put such silly and unjust editorials as this in | your paper. You ought to serve a month in Bellevue at such | werk and euch pay as punishment for inserting it. A snow shoveller has hopes for the better. He may work 8 tew days to put himself on his feet. Do you blame him when he doesn't bind himself tos month's voluntary hardiabor? A. | We should rather believe that those out of work who suffer from | forebodings of this nature are few. Unless he conjures up visions of toil that prostrate him with self pity in advance, a month’s job in a reputable public institution with board and lodging and $165 clear must strike the average man actually in want as not utterly contemptible. Which looks worse to the man earnestly secking work with “hopes for the better”: To “bind himeelf to a month’s voluntary hard labor” or to let his fastidiousness bind him to an indefinite period of | veluntary idleness and uncertainty? | Though he can’t make exactly the start he would choose, a real man nevertheless makes a start, | The problem of the deserving unemployed is just now a grave | | } one. It calls for all the sympathy, all the practical help that the J. more fortunate can bring to it. But its solution is not made easier by those who encourage the idle to turn up their noses at any job short of the ideal one they think will suit them. Didn't the geographies use to tell us that the latitude of New York and the latitude of Naples are almost—but what's the wo? See SCATHE IT!

Vire-alarm wires are dangerously crip- pled. Cold and lack of transportation facilities threaten serious priva- tion and suffering. Ordinary pursuits are half suspended. All of which troubles are directly due to one sole, unmistakable cause—the weather. There is no use trying to excuse, palliate or Gefend it. It has played the mischief with health, comfort, conven ience and industry. Nor has it only just begun. winter it was unseasonable enough to upset business. At present if ie eo bad that it threatens to put a blight on spring. We eee no sense in pummeling the trusts, the railroads, the gov- ernment and what not—meantime politely overlooking the weather.

EOPLE for whom a comfortable train journey means an entire Pullman compartment or drawing-room to be enjoyed in eoli- tude will from now on have to carry a bigger wad to meet expenses. The Interstate Commerce Commission gives tacit consent to a country-wide increase in the cost of travelling alone in luxurious train quarters. Hereafter when a pereon wants « Pullman compartment to himself he will have to pay an additional one-half fare besides the ‘regular full cost of the compartment. If he takes an entire drawing- room for his own use he must buy an extra full fare train ticket above | the cost of the drawing-room. The man who goes to Chicago on the Twentieth Century Lim- | ited in « drawing-room by himself will thercfore pay $74 cach way for the trip. Charges for the ordinary Pullman berth remain the same. The burden of the higher rates falls, of course, on the people beat able to bear it. To those who have travelled on “trains de luxe,” as they are called, in Europe, the new demand for two full train tickets for each compartment will not be unfamiliar. |. The ordinary American sleeping car berth is a barbarous thing It wonld not be tolersted in Europe. Sooner or later Americans themseives will insist that it be abolished and replaced by small com- partments, Nevertheless, whatever may be said for the greater comfort of foreign travel, the fect remains that a night journey in a single bert’. ‘continues to be cheaper in this country than on the same grade of trainin becwuse Americans are willing to put up with grester crowding and promiscuity. ——— ee And through the Gog days how we dreamed of it! chant purchased a package of tea for The Evening World Daily Magazine, Tuesday, March 3, Through the early | 7, ney 1914 eo (the Ter Tork Brentog Wort) The We _ker Sex? & By Maurice Ketten REDE RGAE RED DODRGR DRT EE IF CHEER uP, | ts ¥ DAUGHTER, what profiteth ita woman, though she have the M Beaut* du Diabie, and the grace of the Venus di Milo, yet have | not a knowledge of the ways of men?

Ven- geance is s just and impersonal pun- \whment for a crime or sin. A man ‘revenges” himself by doing hie en- emy an ill turn. The law wreaks “vengeance” by putting the murder- or to death. “I will ha tg 1 lsses the melodrama villain. “* ‘Véen- ance’ is mine * * © saith tho rd,” is an oft-quoted Bible text. * (not revenge”) is the verb for “vengeance.” FORGIVE and PARDON.—These terms are too often misused as mean- sng the same thing. Their meanings aro wholly different. To “pardon” means to absolve from Yel conse- quences of a deed. To “forgive” is anor to hold no grudge for such a deed, For example, suppose @ should burn the house of a State's Governor and should be imprisoned for eo doing; the Governor might perhaps “forgive” the deed; in er 's, he might bear no rancor agal ite perpetrator, At the same! time he might, for justice's sake, re- tuse to “pardon” the offendér, TASTY.—This word te a lingulatic abomination.

There was also con- siderable race friction. Y ‘The Confederates having invaded Pennsylvania, Prestdent Lincoln called for 300,000 additional troops. The Governor of the Keystone State called for assistance from neighboring States, to which Gov. Seymour of New Yorts instantly responded by entraining every available regiment to the potat of conflict for thirty days’ service. ‘While these State troops were absent the Federal Government tried te enforce the draft in New York. A formidable insurr n resulted. Te those who opposed the war and the liberation of the slaves were added the worst and most lawless elements of the city’s population, ever on the alert for rapine, pillage and disoi . Large numbers of unemployed also joined he rioters. Yor three days mob law ruled supreme. The rioters looted houses and shops in open day, burned the Colored Orphan Asylum and the grain clevators at the Atlantic Docks, attacked the headquarters of the provost- marshal, tore down and trampled upon the national flag, pursued nesrose— men, women and children—and when caught hanged them to the street or tele les. earners cars Meta were held up and service was suspended, while law abiding citizens barricaded themselves in their houses and concealed their valuables. ? ‘The police displayed the utmost bravery and efficiency, but were too fow to cope with the rioters, consequenily the secretary of War ordered the New York regiments to return, Put before they could arrive the worst had Me ey 16 the Seventh Remiment arrived and speedily marched through the worst east side districts, literally driving the rioters before it. The back of the riot was broken, yet (t wan several days before the city resumed ite normal appearance. In Police Headquarters, New York, is preserved the “Riot Flag,” which was presented to the force by a body of citizens in recognition of the faithful service performed during this strenuous period In the city’s history. It was estimated that at least a thousand of the rioters lost their tive, while the property €amage amounted to over two million dollars. ‘As the financial centre of the country, it fe not surprising that New. York was often the theatre of monctary disasters, and the place where signe of trouble earliest began and mont quickly culminated, Perhaps the great panie of 1857 lives longest In the memory of men now living, but there were other apecitic days ‘which have become historic, such as the gold panic of 18¢8— the particular day was Friday, Sept. 24, 1869—which resulted from an at- tempt to “corner” the visible supply of gold, then selling at a premium three times its value, There was another “Black Friday,” Sept. 1%, 1873—purely a speculative panic and short-lived, Nearly thirty years Inter came the memorable "Black Monday,” in 1901, which resulted from the famous North- ern Pacific squeeze. Algo, in 1893 and in 1907 New York experienctd finan. cial panics. the results of which were felt from the Atlantic to the Pac!fa; but in none of these cases did serious riots ensue.
