E EVENING WORLD maintained from the first that the Interborough’s financial record could jot be made to justify an increase in fares, We see less and less reason to alter that view.

The Subway Sun and the Elevated Express come out with the following nugget: 5 LAST YEAR'S BEEFSTEAK. The Interborough has paid its investors well in years gone by. But it is not earning any dividends NOW. Past prosperity will not enable a public utility to keep healthy and do its work well, any more than a workingman can keep healthy and work hard on last year's beefsteak. its investors too well to make provision for its future? The Interborough has reckoned on the paying power of the public to cover all consequences of extravagance or mismanagement. The public did its full part when times were good. While times are tight, why should it bear the squeeze and spare the Interborough’s invested surplus? ie dae name of Jonathan Bourne jr. is included in Chairman Hays’s list of 100 notables who are |to evolve the “supreme motif” (whatever that may be) of the campaign, Jonathan Bourne jr, is President of the Republican Publicity Association, which has sponsoredssome of the most rabid and unreasoning attacks on the Cove- nant. Chairman Hays has been at some pains to explain that Bourne's Publicity Association has no connection with the Republican National Committee and does not speak for the Republicans. If these statements were entirely sincere, it seems rather strange that Chairman Hays should have favored Bourne. Certainly there were other Republicans, equally representative of the “bitter-end” faction, who have not offended in the past. THE NEW DECLARATION.

Among the planks considered worthy of publication was the following: Believing it to be for the future good, welfare and peace of the entire world, we affirm com- plete accord in the Covenant of the League of Nations as adopted and signed by Allied nations at Versailles, France, on June 28, 1919, and urge its immediate ratification by the Senate of the United States of America without any reserva- tion or reservations whatsoever, ms Anoiher suggested plank on the same subject reads: No league of nations which assumes the character of a military alliance or which fails ‘ to grant this country equal voting strength can i be indorsed. The United States shall not be a party to the Covenant of the Leagye of Na- é tions promulgated by the Supreme Council at Paris. On the other hand, it (the Republican Party) pledges itself to the reaffirmation of the Monroe Doctrine as a national policy and i the protection of American life and property in Mexico and elsewhere throughout the world. We grant that the “Foreign Relations Plank Leads” but whither? This, we imagine, is a question which may cause the Tribune’s Republican platform expert considerable loss of sleep. He is apt to find himself in something the position of the man who undertook to chase two vabbits at the same time and was grieved to find that they persisted In in opposite directions, eee ee. ns ameekarai i} threatening the primary rights of free speech, | free press and peaceable assembly; the sus- pension of Socialists by the New York State As- sembly, and other evidences of an excited mood on the part of many of our peopic. We have long been saving that constitutional changes can be effected without violence in America, be- cause of our right to free expression of opinion by voice and ballot. We-cannot now deny this American substitute for violence without direct ly encouraging resort to revolution, “In the conviction, therefore, that our Amert- can institutions will survive because they have the wilting allegiance of the majority of our | eitizens, we urge the people of the churches of America to use their influence for the return to that old faith in the fundamental principtes of our civil liberty.” The above declaration was signed by twenty-two eminent American Protestant clergymen, including five well known Bishops of the Episcopal Church, No finer expression of American confidence in the strength and adequacy of an older Americanism has found utterance. : In spirit and form it is worthy of serving as a pres- ent corollary to that immortal Declaration with which the Nation began. é DON'T TAKE SCARE. VO new cases of influenza in a village of 2,000 would not be extraordinarily alarming. One death from influenza in a sizable little city ot 50,000 would not be surprising. These were the approximate ratios which applied in New York, according to yesterday's report. Only one new case of influenza was reported for every thousand inhabitants. Only one in 50,000 died trom the disease. These comparisons are not intended to minimize the possible danger of the spread of the disease.

Maggie was half-engaged to @& nelghbor, Philip Waken, who ha@ adored her from babyhood. But sh@ would not consent to stay at home and marry him, She did not really love Philip, and she realized she did not, Before looking for work Maggi9 went on a visit to the home of her gentle little cousin, Lucy Deane, She found Lucy gloriously happy in her engagement to Stephen Guest, a good~ looking and reckless young fellow, Lucy was pathetically anxious that Maggie and Stephen should become goed friends, Her wish “was grati« fied. Stephen and Maggle not only became “good friends” but fell hopes lessly in love with each other. Maggie was horrified to find her« self in love with Stephen. She knew he and Lucy were engaged, and that \ Lucy's gentle heart was bound up in the match. Maggie was too square to steal her cousin's sweetheart from her, And she told Stephen so, whem he begged her to marry him. Stephen would not take no for an answer, But Maggie was immovable in her resolve not to marry him or let him break his engagement to Lucy. One afternoon Maggie comsented te go rowing on the river with Stepher to talk matters over.

Maggie arrived at Lucy's hom¢ early in the morning. She was see! by a neighbor who had also seen h go out on the river with Stephen the preceding day. Gossip sped quickly through the whole place.
