HE people of New York have spent millions on the Public Ser- vice Commission of this district only to find that somehow faith has not been justified nor hopes realized. | When the Commission was created seven and a half yeare ago it deemed the ideal champion and protector of the public against grasp- ing corporations engaged in exploiting public needs, To-day the public finds itself more than ever alone. Disasters, disclosures of faulty equipment and slipshod railroading methods on city lines have smiling enigmaticaliy at the Widow, as he reached for a cigarette, “Why—MR. Weatherby!” exclaimed the Widow In an injured tone, rubbing her cheek with a filmy handkerchief. “Ob, T don't mean what ts the brand of your rou—of your complexion,” the Bachelor hastened to reassure her. “I mean what is the particular color of your soul? I've discovered,” he added, with the air of one imparting wisdom, “that every woman I8 a distinctive ‘color'—and by her color shall ye know ber! “Wonderful! But who ts she?” asked the Widow. “Who is who?" inquired the Bachelor, trying to look nonchalant. “The girl who \s so full of ‘color’ that you have actually noticed it." “Oh—er, never mind her,” returned the Bachelor, with overdone in- difference. “But, | was just thinking that there are women one might call ‘golden giris'—women who acintillate and sparkle, like the sunlight on daisy field; who actually seem to light up a room an they enter it—witty, revealed more than the negligence of managers and directors.

Hopeful b o it proves that w the jobless have not, as on other occasions, organized to remain job- ~ leas, to loaf in public places, to applaud the mouthingy of professional agitators, to break into churchos, to breathe foolish curses against law + and order. - Joseph J.

Let thom take itever measures may be necessary to obtain food, clothing and shelter until such time as the employing class yields to their demand.” New York has not forgotten what I. W.

WO bills introduced this week in the Aesembly at Albany ave aimed at theatre ticket speculators. One makes it a misdo- meanor to eell theatre sents at a price higher than tho box- office rate, which must be printod on each ticket. ‘The other would establish o license foe for agencies that vell theatre tickets outaide _ the box-office, “These measures may at least romind New Yorkers how excited they wore about theatre ticket extortion last spring and how peaceably they are letting the speculators mulct them now.
