Its publication in deta’ terday added nothing to public knowledge or to publie conviction. Specific complaints combine into one unanswerable indictment: That he has favored the public service corporations and that his official actions have been consistently prejudicial to the in- torests of the people of the olty and State, He accepted his appointment in violation of the law. But his! Yeoord in office weighs even more heavily afainst him than his} wrongful assumption of its duties, | The Evening World long ago became convinced that the Public} Service Commission of this district could not retain the confidence of the public while Mr. McCall remained at its head. This newspaper) was the first to point out his unfitness and call for his removal. Rea-! eons which The Evening World urged have been clinched and double} clinched by facts. | Whitewash will not stick to Mr. McCall a second time. There is} good reason to believe Gov.

ILL New York housewives ever acquire the public market! W habit? | George W. Perkins has not given up hope. He still] believes that if the city will build up a real market system women aro bound to discover how much they can save by supporting it. ] Signs that point that way are not altogether lacking. Every now and then a housekeeper finds out the advantages of buying in the open markets. Her friends hear of it. One or two usually follow) ] her example. | } One of the first discoveries the murketer makes is that a city | -market is a most interesting and exhilarating place in which to per- form a prosaic duty. Walk over to the Queensboro market some bright morning. Under and alongside th: great bridge aro rows of open-face shops, some of them hardly bigger than packing cases, bu. all overflowing with piles of fat cabbages, pyramids of crisp lettuce heads, innumerable baskets of beans, spinach, potatoes, carrots, beets. artichokes, eggplant, apples and whatever elee the purchaser needs to satisfy the family appetite. Everything fresh, everything free to touch and examin Each shop has its eager, smiling proprietor—and usually propric- tress also. A gay young Italian in a rakish fur cap drops a cauli- flower in a paper bag and hands it over with a conjurer’s flouri+h while his seventeen-year-old wife grins broadly when he calls her “Momma” and beseeches her to hurry with the change. Ewerybody is cheerful and alert. A multifarious crowd movos up and down fingering and pricing. Yet each is served with sur- prising promptness, and all—the many who come with baskets and the small but incredsing number who drive up.in limousines—go away with quickened spirits, to say nothing of a pleasant sense of thrift. The morning scene at Queensboro market ought to be only one of twenty similar scenes in twenty different sections of the city. Wien will New York women learn what profit and pleasure are to be found im marketing as millions of their sisters, prosperous as well as poor, market every day in the cities of Europe? —_—_—_—_—_————— IN MEXICO. EWS from across the Rio Grande has fallen off in amount and picked up in promise. Acoording to latest reports, Carranza and his de facto Government are restoring «rder in the City of Mexico. Saloons and public drinking resorts have boon ruled off the principal avenues, the | sale of liquor to minors and intoxicated persons has been forbidden and “open hours” are now strictly regulated. Similar laws are to be past in force in other parts of the country. At the same time all oil companies are required to file informa tion ss to their organization and finances for the benefit of investers, Sobriety and honesty are good first principles for any debutant | government to promuigate. In the long run they are pretty likely to prevail. It may be more than coincidence that with the news of | Carranza’s reform measures comes a report that Villa has been over- whelmingly defeated in a battle near Hermosillo and is in full re- treat north.

Cassel * Steet ¢ | THE MORALS OF CHESS, HE game of chess is not ] merely an idle amusement. | Several very valuable qual- | ities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it so as to become habits ready on all occasions, For life is a kind of chess in which we have to contend with, and in which there is @ vast variety of good and evil events that are in some degree the effects of prudence or the want of it, By playing at chess, then, we may learn: 1, Foresight, which looks a litle into futurity and considers the con- sequences that may attend an action, | for it is continually occurring to the player: “Lf L move this piece what will be the advantage of my new aft- uation?” What use can my adversary make of it to annoy me’ What other moves can 1 make lo support it and to defend myself from his aliacks? 2, Circumspecuon, which surveys the whole chessboard or scene of ac. tion; the relauion of several pieces and siluauon, the dungers they are respecuively exposed to, the several bossivililies of their widing each oth. | eA, the probabilities that the adver- | gary way Wake Lhis or Laat nove, and attack Uns or Uie other piece, and What different means can be used to avoid his suwoke or lwp ile gouse- quences against him, 3. Not to make our motives too hastily, This habit is best acquired | by observing sivictly the laws of the! game, such as, “If you touch you inust move it somewhere, you set it dowa you must let it stand”; and it is therefore best that these rules should be observed, as the game thereby becomes more the finuge of human life, and particularly | of war, in which, If you have incau- tiously’ put yourself into @ bad and dangerous position, you cannot obtain your enemy's leave to withdraw your troops and place them more securely but you must abide all the een quences of your rashness, And lastly, we learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by esent appearances ia the © of | our affairs, abit of hoping for 4 favorable change and that of perse Vering in the search of resources me is so full of event r a@ variety of turns in it, the of it is so subject to sudden ides, and one uenti: ontemplation, discovers ing one's selt from extric & supposed insurmountable difficulty, that discouraged to continue the contest to the last in hope of vic- tory by our own skill, or at least got- ting a stale-mate (a “draw") by the negligence of our adversary, And whoever considers what in cheas he often sees instances of—that particu- lar pieces of success are apt to pro- duce presumption and its consequent {nattention, by which the losses may be recovered—will learn not to be too much discouraged by the present suc- cess of his adversary, nor to despair of final good fortune upon every little check he receives in the pu: it of it, If it te agr to play chess accord- “ Wit, Wisdom, Philosophy By Famous Authors By Benjamin Franklin, the rules exactly, but one party de- mands indulgences, he should’ then be as willing to allow them to an- other, No false move should ever be mude to extricate yourself out of a difficulty or gain an advantage. There can be no pleasure in playing with a berson once detected in such an un- fair practice. If your adversary {s long in playing you ought not to hurry him or express any uneasiness at bis delay, You must not when you have gained @ victory use any triumphing or insulting expression, nor show too much pleasure, but endeavor to con- sole your adversary and make him less dissatisfied with himself Snatch not every advantage offered by your opponent's lack of skill or in- attention, but point out to him kindly that by such a move he pluces or deaves @ piece in danger and unsup- ported, that by another he will put his king in a perilous position, By this generous civility you may, in- deed, happen to lose the game to your opponent, but you will win what is better, his esteem, his respect and his affection, together with the silent approbation and good will of im- partial spectators, Covrright, 1015, by the Prew Publishing Co.

Yet it often hap- pens when people have so many gifts they place too much weight on their powers and become conceited, Then something happens, In the case of the girl it came about in this way During the heyday of her ext tence, when she was the idol of her set, along came a man, He had spent most of his youth in serious s—making good, His ways 1 him to other lands, where worked diligently and well, He had accomplished much and had won @ recognized place in the world’s work becwuse he had played a part in © world’s betierment; therefore, he d pot had much time for the fair sox. He did not know woman, He was not a “lady's man.” But because of his standing among men and his achievements he Was attractive to Uhe daughters of Eve when he did come among them. He was what is termed a “xood catch,” and was gen- erally accredited with being “un- usual.” The young woman having been a favorite, and enjoying all attentions looked with favor on this latest “man of the hour.” She used all the wily ways of womanhood to bring him to her feet--and he came thither, He Fables of Everyday Folks —= = By Sophie Irene Loeb — By Roy L.

Don't look at me that way!” cried Mr, Jarr, prompted by self pity at the implied injustice of ‘her stony stare. “Why are you always so suspicious? Suppose I was had often come before. Also, as it happened, this man had proved to be the most attractive that had yet come on her horizon, She told him that his love was returned, They became engaged. For a little while he was the only-only, But as thie girl was accustomed to being sought after she grew restless at hav- ing the homage of only one, Along came another, who also had unusual attributes and the power of winning, He, too, fell in love with the girl, and, not knowing of her engagement, set out to woo her. This was not unwelcome to her. She did not tell her flance of this new sultor, for she felt it would be un- wise, Yet she went on receiving the adoration of the other man, She was so sure of the love of the men to whom she was bethrothed, and also was so certain of her powers to hold, even if he did know, that she con- tinued enjoying herself, thereby play- ing a double game, This new beau also became more in love with her, and asked for her hand, But it was really “not what the lady meant." However, she did not want to give him up entirely. So, with cleverness of her kind she put him off inte the future and said, “Walt.” Yet it came to pass that the flance met the other man in a business way. They became friends—very good friends. The man who was engaged to the girl, in @ moment of confidence, told the other of the “only gir!.” Then followed another confidence and an explanation, There was no misunderstanding. Both men saw the situation, Both became much wiser men and congratulated each fell in love with her and, having ways been honest and genuine, it w: ing to strict rules, then those rules are to be exactly observed by both parties, If it is agreed not to observe not long before he told her of it, was not surprised.
