Q.—Is not that the business of the city? A.—I think tha’ a question for the City of New York, or for the Public Service Commission, or for the Board of Aldermen, or the License Bureau, or some The Board of Aldermen needs no further acknowledgment of its authority to proceed at once to adopt the amendment that will save the public from railroad station extortion in cab service. | It seoms incredible that New York cannot regulate so little aj thing as taxicabs, All the great railroads of the State and city are} subject to strict supervision, The telephone service, even though a monopols under control. The strong arm of authority in these} war times is even fixing prices for food, for coal and for metals, | Public hacks that ply the streets, even the prowling old night- hawks, are under improved regulation, but this last remnant of rail-! road controlled taxis still equirms and dodges public control. Now is the time for the Aldermen to end the game vigorously and per- manently. PUBLIC SCHOOL SEDITION. TIS NOT the Gary system that is New York’s immediate concern in conduct of its public schools. There is another more vital question that needs attention to-day—the question of loyalty and) patriotism. Soap boxes on street corners are not the only platforms of eedition. There are the rostrums of tho school houses as well. It is good time NOW for a searching survey of what is being taught andj said, aside from the strict letter of text-books, particularly in the high echools, that are a part of our governmental system, There is sedition in sneers; treason in sophistry; aid to the enemy in insinuations, and, above all, there is danger to the Republic now and in the future in subtle and subversive doctrines implanted | in receptive minds of youth just approaching manhood. ‘There has just come to New York a professional agitator whose specialty is sowing what may be mildly called “heresy” in the minds of youth. This is Prof. Scott Nearing, bounced from the Universi of Pennsylvania, fired from the Municipal College of Toledo, his house lately raided by Federal authorities, and now announced as head of the People’s Council of pacifist agitators. To him, the public schools of New York will afford fertile field for insidious propaganda, particularly in those that already are secretly breeding nests of sedition. : William G. Willcox, as President of the Board of Education, is the official whom the public holds primarily responsible for the conduct of teachers and the instruction of nearly a million children | of New York, Of him, The Evening World asks these questions: | Are ALL the schools sound, clean and strong in patriotism and unquestioned supporters of the Government in this wa Are ALI. your teachers imparting instructions of loyalty and| Aevotion to the United States Government? ieee Are ANY of your teachers, openly or Jnsinuou seeds of sedition and opposition to the Nation poliey Have YOU cleaned out any of the agitating pacifists, disloyal | instrnetors and pro-German propagandists who are paid with public money? !

It was there that he waa born May 7, , and afterward went to public school. ‘The future soldier entered West Point in 1874, was grad- Uated in 1879 and became a second Heutenant of cavalry. ne before the Spanish trouble Gen, Mills had seen much of war. Hy had @ hand in putting down most of the Indian uprisings that took place during tho seventies and elghties. At @ later period he helped to inculeato army training into the rising genera- tion, being attached to the faculty of several inatitutions as military. in- structor, Not until the Spanish American War did his real chance come. Then he showed the stuff of which American soldiers are made. During his period of service at West Point Gen. Mills placed the school on & new plane of efficiency such as even. West Point had never known, as his efforts more than those of almost any other man that helped to develop the courses taught there to a point un- excelled by any similar institution, So valuable was the work of Mills that ho was called upon to hdlp solve the problem of militia organiua tion in this country. From that timp forward the General became one of the severest critics of the militia plan. But his was no carping criticism. On several occasions he urged upon Con- gress constructive programmes that meant much to the country. He was a strong advocate of a Pederalized militia, instead of the State system, As Chief of the Division of Militia Affairs in the War Department Gen, Mills worked out plans for mobilizing the National Guard upon the Mexican border, And 1t was due in great measure to his ceaseless effort that the Guard was In such good condition for the emergengy that now con- fronta us. - lad he Ilved to see the gathe: forces at Camp Milla nonetwould wae been so proud as this soldier of the men assembled there from all parts of the Republic, East, South, North and Wert, it ds the last step on a path ‘or which Gen.
