S. C.?, HAT remains of the Public Service Commission of this district—the three Brooklyn Commissioners, Whitney, Hervey atl Kracke—has got itself and the city into a * first class snarl by approving the consolidation of the Edison Electric Tiluminating Company and the Kings County Hlectrie Light and, Power Company. The purpose of thisymerger was di ed by The Evening World Yast month. The Edisqu Company has been scheming to obtain Panction that would tend {to validate franchises which the City of New York niaintains neither of the merging companies has ever pos- sessed. : It is believed the the power of the Public Service Commission to permit the consoli- Astion, inasmuch as the\Edison Company, having been organized der the Manufacturers’{ Act “to manufacture electricity and sell #,” cannot claim mergertrights which are allowed to corporations frganized under the ‘Transportation Corporations Law and entitled | € “use the public streets and highways.” The three Public Service Commissioners did not dare to approve | Phe merger without a reservation offering some pretense of safeguard for the city’s interests. On the other hand, they allow the consoli- @ated concern to go ahead with a plan to borrow $100,000,000 on a capital stock of $19,000,000 as fast as it can show need therefor. Whether it can stand the test of the courts or not, this action of the Pyblic Service Commission is against the public interest in two way: (1) It ated the enforcement of the city’s claims in the matter of the disputed franchises. (2) It opens the way for a heavy pyramiding of obligations upor parning power among the Brady-dominated lighting interests of Brooklyn. | Courts or no courts, before there is even a chance of the Brook- | lyn Edison Company getting more permits from the present Public | Service Commission, the Commission itself as now constituted should be put out of action. | Where is Gov.

She Goeth Forth, With a Lantern, Even as Mrs. Diogenes, in Search of an Honest Woman— And Findeth One! O to, my Daughter! Be not deceived by the Smug Ones, who glorify themselves, saying: “Lo, men are unto me but as a fly upon the wheel of life! 1 have no time for them! For my thoughts are upon more SERIOUS things For, verily, in the life of a woman there is mothing quite so serious as—ME} Now, I walked upon the Highway of Babylon, carry- ing a lantern. And I stopped seven damsels and questioned eaca of them, saying: ‘ell me, my Daughter, WHAT is the dearest de- sire of thine heart, even the secret aspirstion which thou cherishest within thy soul?” And the First Damsel lifted up her eyes in ecstasy and answered me, saying: | “Oh, would that I might be a great ARTIST! That I might paint plo tures that would touch the souls, or write poems that would sway the hearts of men! Then would I be perfectly happy | . And the Second Damsel blushed and answered soft! G as a 26" Rowiane saying “Lo, I would ask of Fate only this—that I may marry HAPPILY, and | become a cherished wife and a good mother of beautiful children. For, | after all, a woman's gréatest source of happiness is Home But the Third Damsel regarded them both scornfu’ ‘dust from her khaki skirt, saying: “What antiques! For that which the world needeth most at this mo- | ment is not artists and mothers, but Women-who-DO-things, As for ME, I yearn on'y for a chance to emancipate my SEX, to fight for Woman Suffrage, to battle in the world of politics, and to show men that I am not their Rib—but their EQUAL!” And the Fourth Damsel smiled pityingly and answered, saying “Behold, 1 long but for an opportunity to UPLIFT the world, and to save poor, suffering humanity! Yea, I would go out upon the battlefields and hurse the wounded. I would go down into the slums and shed sweet- ness and light and pleasant tracts! And all men should call me ‘Angel!’” And the Fifth Damsei leaned forward and whispered unto me, saying: “Hist! I would have money! MON Which purchaseth everything trom a motor car to a husband, and from love to luxury! For, having money, I may do or say or give, or have or BE whatsoever I choose!” And the Sixth Damse] clasped her hands, crying, eagerly “Give ME Fame! Yea, name on the tongues of all men even as a popular breakfast food, and my face a shining light upon the bil!- ioards, that 1 may dazzle the world!” But I turned sadly away from them, one by one, and continued to hold \.p my lantern and to peer searchingly into the crowd Aifd, behold, there came a Seventh Damsel, trippingly, with a song upoa her lips and a twinkle in her eye. And when I bad questioned her she snapped her fingers, and tossed her bead saucily. and made short answer, saying ih, fudge! I desire only what ALL women desire—to be a Charmer-of- Men, and a Conqueror-of-Hearts, with whom EVERY man falleth in love a’ sight! And any damsel who pretendeth to d his fibbeth in her heart! For what are f genius, or pity, save paths to the conquest of Men Then I put out my lantern and clapsed the damsel’s hand, crying: ‘ome with me, oh, Daughter of Truth!
