Twice before they had been beaten in the courts when they appeared yester- day before Justice Greenbaum and through tho counsel, former Btate Senator Edgar T.

Their miserable evil minds are Mr. Farley pointed out that public hacks in this city do not operate under a franchise but under an or- dinance. The courts have upheld the right of the city to regulate, by ordinance, public hackmen axl pub- lic hacks. He quoted authorities at length and went all through the history of the Mason-Seaman litiga- tion against the city. Justice Greenbaum in his decision to-day stated that the question of the constitutionality of the ordinance was passed on months ago by Justice Sea- bury, who held that the ordinance bound the Mason-Seaman Company as a concern engaged in the public hacking business.

On the other hand, there ts still a surplus amount of Puritanism scat- tered over the American landscape There are still too many persons who think that beauty and joy and laughter are works of the devil, and decision was upheld by the Appellate Division The Board of Aldermen, to meet a situation caused by a subterfuge set up by the Mason-Seaman people that they were oper.ting from private garages and private vacant lots and alleyways, passed an amendment to the original taxicab ordinance governing taximeters and compelling all public hacks to charge the legal price, The Mason-Seaman people fought this amendment before Justice Cobalan, who upheld it, and his decision was indorsed by the Ap- ate Division. ics of the affirmation of the Appellate Division of the decisions of Justices Seabury and Cohalan Justice Greenbaum was unable to see where the petitioners had any ground what~ ever to ask hi mto interfere in their behalf. Mr. Brackett tried to convince the cour} that under the common law the company had a right to contend that the rate prescribed by he or- dinance {s confiscatory of property, but Justice Greenbaum held that the taxicab ordinance does not involve any constitutional question whatever ie STATE REGENTS HONOR ROOT Vote Him Honorary Unanimously Degree of Doctor of ALBANY, Ost, 21.—The Board of Re- gents of the University of the State of New York to-day voted unanimously to Elihu Root the Honorary Degree of Do tor of Laws, The degree will be con ferred at to-morrow night's closing ses~ sion the university's convocation The former United States Senator will be the twentieth recipient of the honor, The first degree was conferred on Robert E.

The next step, of course, is to persecute or attempt to persecute all those nor- mal human beings who believe, quite simply, in being happy, who think that asceticism is a morbid pamper- ing of the soul, who would live their lives so that at the end they may say, with Robert Louis Stevenson: ‘Life is over, life was gay; We have come the primrose way." If this be “moral joy-riding,” make the most of it! SHE SEES A PLEASURE-MAD NATION. But doubtless some of you will be on the side of “Business Girl,” and I am sure you will be interested in her letter. Here it is—write and tell me if you agree or disagree: “Dear Madam: The people of our time are pleasure-mad, We are a nation of moral joy-riders, and the road is strewn with human wrecks crushed by the car of Juggernaut with whichy they could not keep up.
