DECENCT DOES PAY.

II is not in the least surprising but il is none
the less gratifying, to learn that the City and
Suburban Homes Company is prosperous and
is paying fair dividends 10 its shareholders
This is the corporation which has invested
something more than 100000 in improved
dwellings for people of small n cans, in city and
country, for the people who otherwise would
live in tenement houses or cheap fats 1t is
not purely charitable concern Not one of its
benefciaries patrons is ever made 10 feel like
the recipient Of aims. Every one of them has
10 pay for all he gets. And those who have in
vested their money in the enterprise have done
so not in the way Of almsgiving, but as an in
vestment which they expect to be profitable
In other words, 1t is business enterprise in
which the rules of profit and loss are strictly
observed. But the rules Of decency are also OBJ
served. The aim is not 10 get every cent posi-
bic out of real estate but to make fair profit
by giving decent accommodations That is it's
distinctive feature and it is because of that
feature that its success is a matter of public
felicitaton.
For il demonstrates that decency does pay. 1t
proves that ii is possible to replace the reeking
sums of the city with pleasant, sanitary, at
tractiye homes: TO rent those homes at prices
within the reach of those who now stew and
groyel in the sluns and 20 make a fair bust
ness profit out Of the transaction. True the
profit Is nOi large. The first year dividends
We're AZ the rate of per cent; the second year,
3l4 per cent; the third year, per cent, and in
n year or two more the rate will probably be 3
per cent. But per cent is higher than govern
ment bonds or savings banks pay, and high
as large proportion Of real estate mortgages
pay. And at the same time a good surplus is
maintained, and ample allowance for de-
probation Of value through wear and tear is
made The enterprise is therefore legitimate

same time without pauperizing any one, is
benevoence of the very highest type
We have no desire to exploit or to praise this
company per Sc, but merely to point the moral
which its annual report conveys-that Is. that
decency pays. In that is contained the kernel
of the solution of the whole problem of housing
the myriad wage-earners of great cities 1t is
not socialism. 1t is not charity. 1t is not State
aid. 1t is the simple conduct of business be-
tween man and man, between buyer and seller
between landlord and tenant. on the basis of
paying Il fair price for decent accommoda tions
The extension of that principle would give all
the people of the cities healthful and attractive
homes and the land owners reasonable profits
We do not venture to hope that all land owners
will adopt the principle There is only too much
reason to fear that many will prefer to keep
on making higher profits out of the discomfort
disease and death of their fellows. But, if So
the example of this company makes their con-
demnation all the greater. and it silences their
protests against whatever legislation may he

the poor.

WARFARE UNDER WATER

1t is probable that in the next European war be-
tween great nations-nay the day of its horrors
be far distant-balloons will play a larger part
than they played in the French German conflict
in 1870 although many of them We're employed
while Paris was besieged. But the poets vision
of aerial navies graphing in the blue may never
he realized on vast scale; or If fact ever takes
the place of fancy, and the clash of arms be-
tween mighty hosts among the clouds rends the
heavens It is not likely to be heard by this gen
Grafton at least.
Tests of deadly vessels under water seem TO
he attracting more attention and research in
Europe at the present time than the develop
ment of the possibilities of destruction that
may be attained by airships. 1t may now be
expected with reason that notable improve
ments will be made ere long in the construction
of craft which can move swiftly and secretly
under sea- Inventors and experts of excep-
tional ability are devotlng themselves with zeal
TO experiments which may result In the
strengthening of navies in opera tions below the
surface of the waves. Startling feats in sub

but the limit of successes in that line does not
seem yet TO have been approached.

"POURED CITIES"

Mr.. Edison is reported by Insurance En-
gineering" as showing great faith in the utility
and future popularity of the system of building
which constructs both walls and floors OF con-
crete. and pours that material. while yet soft.
into moulds in the very place that IT is eventual
ly to occupy in the edifce. Inasmuch the
famous inventor is about TO engage in the bust
of manufacturing Portland cement, this
utterance ought to occasion surprise. 1t
would hardly be natural for him TO regard with
disfavor infant industry that may event
ually enlarge the demand for his wares. Mr..
Edison does not, of course. pretend to have orig
mated the practice in question 1t has been in
vogue for many years.
The Wizard of West Orange has, however.
devised a and promising process of making
cement, and this fact is of little i'm
portance. The uses of that article have of late
greatly increased, both in variety and amount,
and anything which tends to cheaper il is cause
for congratulaton. To be sure, Mr.. Edison tells
a reporter OF The Tribune that he does not in
tend to cut prices. He frankly intimates that
he himself. and not the public. is to be the
gamer by the innovation. Still. he may relent
one of these days. And even though he does
not, there is consolation in the assurance that
the new process will enable the manufacturer
TO turn out particularly fine quality of stuff.

NO RELIEF FOR BOGrS RITTER

The decisions in the insular cases have almost
mOnopOzed interest in the United States Su-
preme Court this week. There were, however
some other judgments of that tribunal an
nOunced on Monday which are of general i'm
pOrtance ana which deserve more than passing
attention Conspicuous among these is the de-
cision in the sOcalled oleomargarine case which
came up TO the court from Philadelphia. The
appellants had been convicted under the Oleo-
margarine law of selling Oleomargarine no:
marked and branded required They had ap-
pealed from the Circuit Court 10 the Court of
Appeals. but In vain, the latter court affirming
the original judgment The case was brought
10 the Supreme Court to determine the consti-
tutionality of the law the appellants attacking
it on the ground that it was more a pure food
law than IA revenue law. and thus an infringe
ment upon the police powers of the State The
Supreme Court regarded this plea as not well
taken and dismissed ii, and consequently the
Judgment OF the lower court stands and the law
in the case is approved as constitutional
Jhis must be regarded as an important vic
tory for pure food and for honest business

No TNCONSTSTENCY.

The fact that Justice Brown in one Of the
insular cases. upheld the power Of the govern
ment TO impose q special tariff law on Porto
Rico. and in another denied the validity Of a
tax on imports from the island previous TO the
passage ~ the special law. has given rise 10
considerable popular confusion. Justice White
in one of his opinions criticised the finding in
rbe De Lima case as inconsistent with that in
the Downes case and SO il was from his point
OF view. holding as he did that Porto Rico was
subject 70 tax because II had not yet been made
an integral part of the United States by act Of
Congress- But as Justice Browns reason for
sustaining the Porto Rican tariff act was differ
ent. il does not follow that he was not perfectly
consistent. The complaint that at one moment
he was on one side of the crucial question. and
then went over 10 the other side, arises from
failure to analyze the meaning Of the particular
view OF the whole subject which he alone held
and in strict obedience 10 which he voted in
both cases typical instance of the wide
spread misunderstanding of his position is
furnished by The Rochester PostEXpress," q"
which SAYS:
We find that eight members Of the court were
consistent throughout Four Of them believed
that the constitution cid follow the hag-Ful-

them believed il did not-Gray, Shiras. White

fice Brown the ninth member or the court. cast
the deciding vote But in one case he holds
that the constitution followed the flag, and that
tariff duties under the Dngley act could not be
levied because Porto Rico part Of the
United States and duties must be uniform In
the other he holds that the constitution does
not follow the flag: that Porto Rico is not as
vet part OF the United States, and that, there
fore the duties levied by the Foraker act are
entirely constitutional,
Justice Brown did nO1. in either case hold
that the constitution follows the flag or that
al any time. either before or after the passage
of the Foraker law. a tariff on Porto Rican
goods was unconstitutional The uniformity
clause Of the constitution had nothing 10 do
with his decision against the levy OF the Ding
ley duties His constitutional theory was con
sistent throughout. He held that the constitu-
ton was made for States and not for Terrific
ries and that I'm the latter Congress had plenary
mower Therefore he decided that Congress
acted within its rights in passing the Foraker
law, even though Porto Rico was territory Of
the United States. Justices White. Gray, Shiras
and McKenna reached the same result on the
ground that Porto Rico was not yet integral
territory OF the United States, and could only
be made so by act OF Congress, previous TO
which Congress could impose such tariff as il
pleased

passage OF the Foraker law, Justice Brown sim

and whether the manufacture and sale of II are

entirely apart from the present. The present
and primary question is whether oleomargarine

which will apply universally throughout the
