EGS See Se A DISCOMFITED MAYOR. AYOR HYLAN is bent on making himself ridiculous. * When a court enjoins his municipal bus lines n the ground’ that they were not lawfully estab- lished the Mayor lifts his voice in lamentation: “I have gone to the end of my rope, I have | done all I can, and so have members of this body (the Board of Estimate), to furnish transit for the people of this city on the ruins of broken- down car lines. It is now squarely up to the Governor of the State to take action. I am helpless. The Board of Hstimate is helpless.” Rot and rubbish! The Mayor is not at the end ef his rope. He is only at the silly knot he him- self has tied’in it. He is not helpless. The Board of Estimate is not helpless. All the Mayor has to do is what he ought to have done in the first place—go to the Transit Commission and get his bus lines sanctioned by the one authority that has power to sanction them. The Mayor_doesn’t even have to approach the Transit Commission with his hat in his hand. Chairman McAneny made it plain‘yesterday that ~_. the commission is ready and waiting to act with the Board of Estimate in giving the Mayor's buses “a legal right to run before any mandatory action . of the court could in any way affect them.” Said ~~ Mr. McAneny: “The people who ride on the new bus lines are entitléd not only to continue to ride upon them but they ought to be enabled to ride upon them safely and comfortably and be relieved of any doubt or uncertainty as to what the future of the lines will be. Instead of the present illegal and unregulated operation, there should va be full compliance with law and regulation that ‘will insure safe and ‘adequate service.” Instead of clamoring for a special session of the Legislature, why-doesn’t Mayor Hylan at last perform one simple, honest ‘service for the people of this city by getting his buses approved by the Transit Commission and then working with that body for real transit relief? The law, as Mr. McAneny quotes it, is unques- ee i dae oa EATHER PERFECT for the CITY DWELLER ™ W continues, But there is a shadow to the brightest weather if too long continued. Po- tato and cabbage farmers are praying for rain, and ih the North Woods FOREST FIRUS are raging, bearing @eath and destruction. 7 Many FANS can remember seasons when the WORLD'S SERIES games were played in cold, wet * weather. This year the bleachers are full of coatless masses. The GIANTS won the FIRST GAME, upset- ting the dope. The SECOND GAMD was a TIE, called on account of “darkness,” much to the dissatis- faction of all. The THIRD GAMDP was a victory for "i the GIANTS. The other blg event of the week was the greatest CONVENTION OF BANKDRS ever held. The ball games in New York undoubtedly helped swell the at- tendance. The dominant note of the meeting was the “ abandonment of an “isolation policy” in forelgn at- . fairs. Bankers agreed that in this case GENEROSITY ~~ and IDEALISM spelled GOOD BUSINESS, PROSPER- ITY and a better chance for a period of WORLD ‘ PEACE. Meantime the MILITARIST LOBBY at Washington fs again urging a LARGER STANDING ARMY, larger than at present and larger than we had before the war. . A highly popular continuing feature was the award of the daily prize of a FORD CAR to the best “WHAT DID YOU SEE TO-DAY?” reporter on THE EVENING As WORLD staff of READER-REPORTERS. TWO AND ONE-HALF BILLION PASSENGERS y rode on sub’ surface and elevated lines last year. - Guards were unable to pack them all in one car. POLITICALLY, the week was featured by the not Unexpected acceptance of nominations by candidates mamed by the STATE CONVENTIONS. WILLIAM The ingenious idiots who propose, through the State Ohamber of Commerce, to “fingerprint” all citizens as © meane of protecting “American institutions” must Rave a high opinion of their strength and value. . The fans who booed Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis @f the Polo Grounds had better look out. He may fine Rem $20,000,000 for disrespect of an eminence. as e The weather sharps complain that nature is out of tionably the law. Permission and approval of the Transit Commission are necessary to the granting of traction franchises. Yet as Mr. McAneny says: “There is no reason, in any proper case, why any one of the companies operating under the Mayor's personal permission should not secure a legal franchise, and there is certainly no rea- son why the Transit Commission should with- hold its certificate of convenience and necessity in the case of any such line serving a needed and useful purpose and not operating in viola tion of some other provision of law,” We have dwelt at length on this’ statement from the Chairman of the Transit Commission because it knocks the Hylan pretense once and for all into a cocked hat. The Mayor can save his buses by simply legal- izing them through the Transit Commission. No special legislation, no action of the Governor are in the remotest degree required. The Mayor stands revealed as the victim of nothing but his own foolishness. His discomfiture is complete. IT DOESN'T GO WITHOUT SAYING. WO similar accidents yesterday make it clear I that Fire Prevention week was not com- pletely successful. Three children locked in an apartment played with matches, set fire to curtains and caused a dangerous blaze. Another child playing with matches dropped the lighted match down a fire escape and ignited the dress of a neighbor’s child below. One of the elementary rules of fire safety is keeping matches away from children. Indeed this seemed so obvious that the Board of Underwriters was ridiculed because it included this caution with others in a pamphlet of warnings. Perhaps the two narrow escapes recorded yester- day will be productive of results, Parents have only themselves to blame if they do not manage to prevent the dangerous mixture of matches and children, ENFORCE THE TAXI BONDING LAW. OLICE COMMISSIONER ENRIGHT has another new millionaire deputy, Barron G. Collier, who is to interest himself in the newly created Bureau of Public Safety devoted to the commendable work of making the streets uf the city safer. We have hopes that Mr. Collier will be able to show to Commissioner Enright some of the errors in his recent ways, pafticularly the studied failure of the police to enforce the taxi bonding law. We hope that the reason for Commissioner En- right’s delinquency in this respect has been noth- ing more than the desire to give Mr. Collier a clear field and a chance to do something impor- tant as soon as he assumes office. Otherwise any lip service.in the cause of public safety is a gruesome jest on the part of the Police Commissioner. The only candidate for United States Senator Boss William H, Anderson can stomach is the Prohibition choice, But we hear the Prohibition Party has grown squeamish about William H. THE WEEK. RANDOLPH 'HEARST decided to support the choice of the convention in which he failed, MAYOR HYLAN finally echoed this decision, and of course DAVY re echoed, DAVY’S father was a DEMOCRAT too. | ISADORA DUNCAN was denied entry to her native land until after an interrogation at Ellis Island. Some suspect that officials on the island hoped for a free exhibition of dancing. No better explanation was forthcom|ng. 5 JUSTICE MORSCHAUSDR accepted the report of Referee Gleason in the STILLMAN CASE. EDWARD PAYSON WESTON, the famous WALKER, “completed his “last hike” from Bulfalo to New York, He is EIGHTY-FOUR years of age. MRS. W. H. FELTON of GRORGIA was appointed SENATOR by Gov, Hardwick. It fs doubtful whether the first woman so honored will ‘be able to qualify, as her successor will be elected before the Senate is lkely,to meet. PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT SCANDALS were reported, as usual, MOVING DAY was stretched from Saturday to Mon- day and Tuesday because Oct. 1 fell on Sunday. This was FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, which con- tinues until Monday, when it merges into ACCIDENT PREVENTION WEEK. CREASY was CONVICTED of the murder of Edith Lavoy. The court room at Mineola has a reputation as a safe place for the trial of feminine-killers, JUSTICE MULLAN enjoined the HYLAN BUS LINES, but while there is a TRANSIT COMMISSION there is HOPE it the MAYOR can only be persuaded to see it. pie MISS GLENNA COLLETT captured the WOMAN'S NATIONAL GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP at White Sul- phur Springs.

Keepers at Riker’s Prohibition, like most wars, may be attributed to two causes—direct and indirect. ‘The indirect cause was the activi- ties of the Anti-Saloon Leagun, aided by the ready money of fanatical re. formers and the opportunity presented by the country being at war. The direct cause was the majority, and, I believe, solid vote of the Re- publicans im Congress. Ratification by the State of New York ulso was due to a Republican majority, It seems to mo if all tho people who dre opposed to Prohibition are sincere, they will at the neat election vote against all Republican candidates regardless of the office at stake, A sufficient number of defeated Re- Island have a little better cond)tions.

High Cost of a Kikuyu Wife. - - Writes Oscar Ollson in a paper on Central African experiences, in the Wide World Magazine for October: Before the war the cost of a good Kikuyu wife was only four shillings, but the cost of living has gone up in Central Africa, like everywhere else, and with it the price of wives, ‘The market figure to-day ts a proximately twenty-five shillings, and I was more than mildly amus to learn that one enlightened chi realizing the difficulties of the tim had introduced the instalment tem, by which a tdibesman could secure a wife by making a small ad- yance payment, and promising to pay the remainder In weekly sums!
