Lioyd George's proposal is not a whit more sensible, Either proposal might conceivably bag the bird in the Irish thicket, but the two together can do noth- ing but excite and inflame the all-too-effervescent Irish temper. England will be foolish indeed if it follows Lioyd George in this particular vagary. The huntsman in the story ruined his gun.

In the Subway Sun, Mr. Beggar Hedley piteously whines for a higher fare because of the overpower- ing pressure of higher costs. Speaking to the financial world through the Wall Street, Jourmal, Mr. Business Man Hedley is opti- istic, cites the rapidly expanding gross business as the result of newly apened lines, foresees lower e@osts of operation as a certainty of the future, and forecasts future profits even at a five-cent fare. Which are we to believe, Mr. Beggar Hedley or Mr. Business Man Hedley? One of the unforiunate results of becoming a member of the Facing-Both-Ways clan is that a time comes when the public discovers amd becomes skeptical of statements from either face, Our idea of the height of discretion is tae its close committed to the samme policies of tax re- vision and national retrenchment which Republicans reconstructive legislation along these lines is more tran ever Republican responsibility. In the late campaign the Republican Party made its appeal to the voters of the United States with the assurance that Republican initiative stood ready to repay popular confidence with prompt legislative aid and relief. If that aid is not now forthcoming, the Republi- can Party is proved faithless, lis pledges were mere bids for votes. {t won on false pretense. TWICE OVERS.

Te the Wittor of The Brening World The moon is not made of green cheese, as the Subway Sun suggests, but we surely do know the service in the subway ‘ts There is hardly standing room.

On Dec. § u local train left the 187th Street Station (motor car No. 8802) with no glass in front door. Draught and dirt blow through the car enough to cause disease to many peaple. ‘This ts not green cheese but the plain truth, and it took that focal twenty-five minutes to get to 72d Street. There is no reason at all why the public should not pay more fare when all you get for nothing in the subway is considered. Coal will come down as everything else is doing and the subway will bay dividends on a S-cent fare. The cities named by the Interborough as obarg- ing 10-cent fares have no railroads that carry 2,000,000 passengers a day and the roads haye no auch privileres as the Interborough has here. Hurrah for The World and The Evening World for their fight to keep ‘The Day of Rest. To the Baltor of The Evening World of a “day of sadness”—that is, a diy to be devoted solely to prayer, study or other pastimes not involving phy- sical exercise. But the proper conception of a “day of rest’ is not physical rest, but giv- ing elther or both mental and physical faculties a chance to get out of the rut into which they have fallen by constant application to Industry or occupation during the week. How can this be accomplished? Not by physical rest but by play; @ new thing to ocoupy the mind, a new idea to work on; & good show or moving picture and innumerable other things.

Figure the actual loss of time that idleness—not recrea- tion—has cost you. As a selfishness test, think how many times you have considered yourself when you might have considered others —how often you have refused to go to some little trouble, to make some little sacrifice, when doing so would have con- tributed to somebody else’s happiness or comfort. Both tests will show you that you are running high per- centages of two very undesirable qualities. Make these tests from time to time.
