It appears that the stockholders, in the opinion of the court, have ~ ‘failed to show that it was no use directing the directors to get the back. We gather from this that the only period during which share- holders in @ corporation have any claim to the money they entrust te their directors is before they know that it has been mislaid or mis- ‘applied.

The flag is no part/ of the ship. @ne of the wonderful things about the modern steamship is its power to live, keep its engines going and plough its way to port, even when fire cats at its vitals. The compartment system may not inva- -riably hold its own against inrush of water from without, but it over and over again proves its efficacy in helping to conquer fire within. To steam for two days on a burning ship with 15,000 tons of | cartridges, oils, shrapnel, cordite and heaven knows what other ex- plosives in her hold, is harrowing experience even in this era of car-| mage.

Provided the Bergen County Board of Frecholitets approves the new rate, it can be put into effect within thirty days. The long fight in which residents and business men of Eastern ‘New Jersey and Harlem allied themselves with The Evening World ‘to secure popular ferry rates between shores at this point has had no aid whatever from the City of New York, which should itself have taken the initiati-a in arranging lower fares. On the contrary, the Sinking Fund Commission, by refusing to readjust the rentals which | _ it charges the Public Service Corporation for dock and terminal privi- leges, has obstinately stood in the way of the public interest. The|srowled Pulilic Service Corporation has naturally taken its cue from the City of New York. » (The ant oper eee aene. — By Roy L.

No, my dear, the majority of you are not willing to take up the “wash tub and range and maternity” and forsake the typewriter. “ It sounds good, but the principle does not always work out in practice.
