Four public markets started Inst year through the efforts of Sorough Premdent Marks and his Borough Open Market Committee, have rapidly taught New Yorkers to be thrifty, intelligent marketers, The markets gave new life to run- down neighborhoods. They increased the value of near-by property. Bat of what use is it to legalize public markets if the city is to be committed to a money grabbing policy that will speedily choke them out of existence? Retail dealers who have fought open markets and low food prices from the first are reported to be giving « dinner at $6 per plate. No doubt the Comptroller will be the favorite toast.

FTER eerving a sixteen months’ sentence in the Federal peni- tentiary at Atlanta for land fraud conspiracy, a San Francisco millionaire declares: “Not only have these eizteen months been the most useful of my career, but this period has been the happlest of my life, and I bave derived more good from my work at the prison than at any other time.” Among his chief pleasures during his confinement were the founding of a prison library and the financing of unfortunate fellow prisoners who found themselves at the end of their terms about to be thrust into the world without capital enough to re-establish them- selves in business. The effects of jail as a punishment are best observed in the poor. winter are wator service, the Its benefits as a retreat often come out strongly in the rich. Many a rich man who goes to prison finds for the first timo in his life leisure | te consider his fellow men as something more than pawns in his game. He can’t use those around him, ¢o he helps them. Sing Sing has found its true mission in turning out regenerate toflers. Why shouldn’t Atlanta produce philanthropists? ee Gecretary Bryan has accepted the invitation of the National Anti-Saloon League to go to Atlantic City and throw cold water on the Fourth of July. —— fo THE MAN FOR THE JOB. (74 ET us next descend into the subway,” says Health Com- L missioner Goldwater. The public hears and gives thanks, That surface car lines can be compelled to provide passengers with space enough to differentiate them from cattle, the Commissioner swiftly and effectively proved. Now he pointe out that in the subway the Interborough uses more care in winter than in summer. When epring arrives, as soon as the daily receipts begin to show a falling off, cars are forthwith put out of commission. This practice is utterly unnecessary and tends only to swell divi- Gends at the expense of public decency and comfort. “Any attempt to reduce the number of trains or cars below the number operated in the winter,” announces Dr. Goldwater, “will be regarded as a de- liberate act on the part of the Interborough tending to create or to aggtevate a nuisance. Health Department inspectors will keep the @abway service under observation from now on, and I believe summer passengers can be promised a mite of comfort this year.” For years the Public Service Commission talked about over- crowded subway and surface cars and nothing happened. The Health Commissioner talked only a few weeks, but surface lines noted orders and obeyed them. If anybody can start subway conditions in the direction of health and humanity, he can.

But you are worse than the children!" “Oh, all right!

Why not add a thorny truth to the ‘yg bouquet of domestic and foreign flatteries which has been presented to her? In her present stage of development she is not the ethical } equal of an ordinarily decent American man, There are thousands of women who are not caddesses, But these things may be said of the feminine millions of America: They have a duller sense of honor, a more bitter intolerance, a dimmer conception of personal dignity, a less perfect loyalty to friends, than have their fathers and husbands, How many men open and read the private correspondence of their wives? How many men measure every one they know by their 7 own moral yardsticks ? How often does a man cling like a millston about the neck of a woman who frankly expresses her preference for®.. some one else? When does a ian subject his friend to the third degree before deciding to stand by him in the mess he has made?
