Hundreds of men who are "impOssi-

We confess we're rather impatient;

WHAT 1T ALL MEANS,

What transparent humbug Is the
pretense at Albany OF giving us Rapid
Transit
Rapid Transit for the city OF New
York. rendered absolutely necessary by
reason of the peculiar conformation of
the city, has no more to do with politics
than with the Bible. II Is n question Of
the prosperity Of the city and the con-
venience and comfort of the people. A
real rapid transit road ought to be built
by practical. experienced men and not
by politicians. II the credit Of the city
Is loaned to the undertaking. 1t ought
only to be because the money can be
raised on bonds at much lower rate
of interest by the city than by contrac-
tors. and without any idea that the cost
OF construction will eventually fall on
the city.
When the Legislature provides for n
bipartisan Rapid Transit Commission
1t has only one object In view, to OBJ
struct and kill any rapid transit road in
the interest OF the Elevated system.
while shirking responsibility. When
Senator OConnor talks about the ne
cesSity OF preventing the project from
being controlled by Democrats. he sim
ply does the work of the Manhattan
corporation.
A bipartisan commission would mean
political commission. The men in
trusted with the work from first to last
ought to be practical engineers and
capable business men. Until this is Sc
cured. rapid transit talk is humbug.
That 1t Is not the case Is due to the in
trigues and tricks Of the Elevated Rail-
road monopoly.

SO far Mr.. Lexow was right. Then he

shall be secured. In this Mr. Lexow
was wrong. The people do not differ

Care of Wet shoes.

There are few things more disagree
able than to put on a pair Of stiff. brittle
shoes that have been thrown aside to
dry after rainy day. Here is a formula
that claims to eradicate the trouble:
First wipe off gently with a soft cloth
all surface water and mud; then, while
still wet, rub well with paraffine oil,
using flannel for the purpose. Set them
aside till partially dry, when a second
treatment with oil is advisable. They
may then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place. w::ere they will dry grad
ually and thoroughly. Before applying
French kid dressing give them a final
rubbing with the flannel still slightly
dampened with paraffine and the boots
will be soft and flexible as new kid and
be very little affected by their bath in
the rain.
