T HE present public cab ordinance, which New York owes to The | Evening World’s fight to abolish extortionate taxicab charges and private etand monopoly, showed its etrength yesterday in a decision handed down by the State Court of Appeals which renders one of its most important provisions impregnable. Tn the case of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel vs. the City of New York the Court holds that the city ordinance which establishes public hacketande alongside a hotel, with due provision for clear space oppo- site the principal enirance, is valid. The preposterous clainy of N could lawfully sell to fevored t Iize space in the public strects wa York hotel proprietors that they » companies the right to monopo- s one of the chief abuses upon which this newspaper concentrated its attacke in its long campaign for honest cab service. By chis prac tice hotel men collected annually $500,000 in graft from tho taxicab companies, which the latter took in turn from the pockets of the public. Under the new ordinance the city’s first act was to abolish pri- vate hotel stands and to establish free public stands open to all prop- erly licensed cabs. Two years ago this newspaper What right has any hotel thoroughfares? asked: to assign privileges in public What right has @ hotel to collect money for such privileges? To whom do the streets belong? Aroused public opin‘on. supplied the answer. The highest court in the State now sustains it, nanereeemmmremensi ewer law. The city made THE SIGNAL FOR THE JUMP? . Nearly half the world’s annual wheat production will stand to the credit of this country in 1914, according to the June Teport of the Department of Agriculture. Fine growing weather and a 6 per cent. increase in the acreage planted warrant the prediction of a 900,000,000 bushel any previous year, enough to every person in the country. wheat ¢rop, 137,000,000 bushels above the highest record for give ten bushels of wheat to Last month’s bulletin, which showed a 630,000,000 bushel yield of winter wheat 95.9 per cent. perfect, was the best May Teport the Department has given out in twenty-three years. It promised the farmers of the West returns of more than $500,000,000. Maybe the June confirmation of harvest figures for this year is the line for Business to toe up to for that jump. —_—_-4 -—____.

Can we wonder if the common sense of the British public begins to clamor that leniency is making a fool of the law?

MAROM babyhood Dolly was ordained by her mother for @ great, ° marriage; and she was trained for thet climax as a horse és trained for a race. Every accomplishment and winning mas- nerism was drilled into her youthful brain. And whenever ehe left the house she was forced to wear “a white linen mask to keep every ray of sunshine from her complezion; a sunbonnet sewed on her head an@ long gloves, covering hands and arms.’ | At eighteen, she went to Philadelphia from her North Carolina birth- | Place. There her Quaker father, John Payne, proceeded to go broke and~ ‘to run heavily into debt to John Todd, a young lawyer. Then was enacted a situation that has been used in a hundred plays and novels, } Todd, like many another Philadelphian, had fallen madly in love with ‘Dolly. He held her father’s fortunes in the hollow of his hand. He offered, in exchange for Dolly's hand in marriage, to cancel the old man’s indebtedness and set him once more on the high road to wealth, Payne accepted the offer; thus turning his pretty daughter from an expense into an asset. In those days parental commands were law to girls, and Dolly was not consulted, She was merely told that John Todd was to be her husband and the restorer of the! b family fortune. So, in 1791, when she was but nineteen, she married this man who adored her andre whom she did not love. The bargain did not profit her father to any extent, as the old Quaker died almost directly after the wedding. + For two years the couple lived happily enough, and two children were ‘ff born to them. Then a yellow fever epidemic scourged Philadelphia. Todd, _ | always overanzious for Dolly's welfare, sent her and the children to Gray'’e.” pf Ferry to escape the plague.

The girl widow went back to Philadelphia, where she helped her mother run a fashionable boarding hose. Philadelphia in those days was the seat of our natio’ nd world-famous statesmen were daily guests” at Dolly’s home. Aaron Burr fell deeply in love with her, In an unlucky” ; moment for himself he introduced his friend, Jame® Madison, to Dolly. Madison, like most people who met her, proceeded to lose his well-.. | controlled heart to the pretty widow. He was almost double her age and was a prominent figure in politics. Ho was also supposed to bo b against all women, because a girl te whom he had been engaged had {i him for a clergyman. But he quickly forgot his disappointment in the old love and begaa to pay violent court to Dolly. President Washington and his wife took a hand in the match. Mrs. Washington sent for Dolly and delivered this historic advice: é “If it be true that he seek your hand do not be ashamed, but, rather, proud, He will make thee @ good husband, and all the more for being #6 much older. My husband and I both wish for thy nappiness.” Urged by “royal command,” and perhaps by ambition, too, as well as by her own heart, Dolly married “the Great Little Madison,” ¢s she called him. Whatever her motives may have been, the marriage turned out to be ideally happy for both husband and wife. Dolly's « pop 'y and her nameless charm had much to do with Madison's He, in turn, by becoming President of the United States a few years made her the “First Lady of the Land.
