HE present Board of Aldermen having rounded out its first T six monthe and adjourned for the summer, let’s be ready to agree with Alderman Curran, majority leader, that “never has a Board done such good work with such creditable attendance.” Tn the first place the Aldermen have sought to increase their own efficiency by liberalizing their rules, reducing the number of their standing committees, rearranging the functions thereof 6o that each member of the Board may have important work to do, and re- Rouncing license-granting powers which have been in the past sources $f endless scandal and graft. Tu the second place the present Board of Aldermen has paased jaumber of measures honestly meant to make the city a better place live in. They have enlarged the fire limits within which no more frame buildings may be put up; they have strengthened the speed ordinance by insuring that a sentence of one day in prison shall mean imprisonment for at leaet twenty-four hours; they have increased the safety of the highways by requiring vehicles of every kind to carry lights in the regr; they have made moving picture theatres esfér; they have tackled the city’s cumbrous building code; they have checked the encroachment of unsightly billboard and electric signs in parks and civic centres; they have established a municipal employment bureau to help find work for the unemployed; they have tried to increase the comfort and convenience of citizens by an erdinance requiring street cata to stop on the near side of crossings; they have relieved the city from the financial burden of the useless end sbandoned Fulton Market. The Board has a year and a half more to complete its work. Instead of harping on what it might have done, give it credit for good accomplished. May it convince New York that a Board of Al- dermen can be a help instead of a hindrance. ——__-42—___—. WHY LEAVE IT ALL TO THE PUBLIC? A move to compel ocean eteameliip companies to insure their steerage passengers has been started by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. ‘The plan is a good one and should be perfectly feasible. A very elight increase in passage rates would cover the cost of such insurance. Steamship company agents now scour Europe Postal Union. ® 4: Copyright, 1014, by The Pram Publish ing Co, (The New York Evening Word), Y DAUGHTER, behold, by the side of the restless waters, I came M upon a man who was smoking a PIPE. And the winds wafted the fragrance thereof toward me, an@ % was as old clothes being burned in a furnace. Yea, it was as the aroma from a hotel kitchen in June, And I approached him and said unto him: “How now, my Son! Hast thou lost MUCH moneys?” And he arose, in great gstonishment, and greeted me, saying: “Yea, alas, I have dropped ninety shekels on a perfectly good skate!’ Yet, tell me, prithee, art thou a witch or a clairvoyant, or is {t by mental telepathy that thou discernest the source of my sorrow?” And I smiled and answered him, saying: nay. It fs neither by witchery nor by mental telepathy that £ perceive that thou has been prodigal, but by the sight of the PIPE, between thy lips, and the tobacco pouch in thy right hand. “For lo, whensoever a man hath squandered a thousand shekels, he proceedeth straightway to the tobacconist’s and buyeth a cheap pipe wherewith to soothe bis conscience, and a bag of smoking tobacco for his soul’s comfort. “And when he hath emoked them ONCE, behold, he is satisfied. “Yea, thereafter, the very THOUGHT thereof maketh him to feel se good, and holy, and righteous, that he may straightway invest in a NEW automobile, without self-reproach. “For, unto a man, that which is disagreeable and unattractive 18 virtuou! Verily, verily, every man believeth that ECONOMY beginneth at home, but endeth at the green baize door. Therefore, when he dallyeth too long at the card table, or tarryeth over the wine list, or playeth the ponies to his own undoing, he weareth his old clothes for two days, grumbleth at the butcher's bill, and turneth the lights low in the evening. And, behold, his consctence is appeased. For, although these things SAVE but little, yet do they make him te feel exceeding MORAL, and strangely ABUSED. Yet condemn him not, my Daughter; for he is wise in his folly. And, when he waxeth too old to laugh or love or play, or do anything else whatsoever, then can he ECONOMIZE; but he that hoardeth his moneys and economizeth upon his sentiment and his kisses, in his youta, prepareth for a foolish old age. Yea, he is as a bottle which hath been corked too long, and EX- PLODETH. Selah. VOLUME 55. Little Stories by Big Men. (Copyright by Anpabel Lee.) By LESLIE M.
