What Is Indicated.

A New York paper seeks to estab-
fish the value of it's advertising space
by the statement that to one pub
Ished request for a typewritist's ser
vices there were $50 responses. The
value of newspaper advertising IS
understood and appreciated by intelli-
gent people. It represents the method
by which mutual wants are adjusted
1t brings together the merchant and
the customer, and the man who needs
a situation or a clerk by means of an
advertisement can get in touch with
the one capable of filling the need.
All this is accepted truth.
However, $50 responses TO one ad-
veTtsement for a typewritist is far
too many 10 indicate a healthy cOndi-
tion. The chances are that the place
pays but meager salary. In all prob
ability it affords the means for the
barest sort Of existence in a place
where expenses are so unreasonably
high as in New York Yet $50 people
were anxious to get the place, and $40
were disappointed, the disappointment
ia many Instances likely being bitter
or even heart-breaking.
Far more pleasing would have been
a statement that the typewritist, ad-
vertising for a position, had received
$50 responses. The chances are that
such an advertisement would have re-
ceived not a single reply worthy Of
consideration. Too many have learned
to operate the typewriter as a means
Of livelihood. The multitude has
made competition so fierce that the
supply, many times greater than the
demand, cannot expect pay in any
measure adequate.
The episode is another illustration
Of the fact that the rush cityward is
a folly. There is a steady influx of
young men and women who expect
that the municipal field viii be found
wide open and the rewards rich. This
view is an error. New York contains
thousands who would have been bet
ter OF had they never seen il, but re-
NAMED in the village or on the farm.
When nearly a thousand scramble for
a paltry job that might keep soul and
body together, the lesson ought to
impress them, as well as thousands
more.

Private Charity Allowances.

AS a step toward the complete ces-
satiOn OF appropriations for the main
tenance of nOn-governmentaI chart
ties, the objection Of the Board Of
Charities 10 certain private charity
allowances" will commend itself to
the whole city. 1t happens that the
board has singled for its opposition
half a dozen institutions Of undoubted
merit, such as The Newsboys and
Children's Aid Society and the
''Woman's Christian Association" But
that fact should not be allowed to OBJ
scure the general issue, which is this:
Must the District Of Columbia care
for its INDECENT citizens through pri-
vate or nOn-governmentaI insutu-
tions?
Men who know the conditions Of
municipal government elsewhere will
not wonder that the District authori-
ties look with extreme disfavOr on the
appOTtiOnment of District charges to
half a dozen hospitals, asylums, or
refugees, maintained chiefly by women
and supervised by many different
methods. The District has not now
the facilities TO care for it's own. It
must rely upon nOn-governmental
hospitals for example, or thrust its
INDECENT sick into the streets. II
would BE- worse than folly, while such
a condition prevails, to withdraw from
cooperation with the several hospi-
tails of the city. But the community
viii be vastly better on when it can
care for its sick as directly as il lays
sewers.
The budget soon 10 go TO Congress
contains a recommendation that $3.50
600 be appropriated for the beginning
OF construction on the site Of the new
municipal hospital. II our city coun-
ell approves the recommendation it

dependence upon sectarian and quasi
private Institutions will come 10 an
end. In the meantime il is well TO
note that the fight for government by
regularly appointed officers of the
Government is not losing ground.

The tendency to set an age limit

vOut and jealous, naturally resents
the plan that would cause her to

there is a strong probability that in

FutilitU Of Some Teaching.

In the interest Of religion IL might
be suggested that young Rockefeller
resign from his position as a Sunday
school teacher. For him to occupy
such a place is an anomaly. II pains
the friends of genuine religion, in
which aVarice can have no part, and
from which certain kinds OF wealth
are barred by the expressed doctrines
of the greatest Of teachers. II gives
the sconer a chance TO rail against the
church, and 10 doubt the sincerity
of its adhercnts.
Last Sunday young Mr.. Rockefeller
warned his large class that the pur-
suit OF riches blinds many TO religious
beauties It does. There will be no
denial But the words come with i'll
grace from the representative of the
richest family in America, and one
which deVOJss six days in the week,
by hook and by crook. TO making
greater a hoard already so enormous
as TO be a menace TO the economic and
Industrial life of the Republic.
The showing has been made in de
tail, by figures dispassionately gath
cred, that the Rockefeller millions
rest on a foundation of lawlessness.
that the accretions must be ascribed
to corruption, bribery, and intimida-
tiOn, as well as 10 native shrewdness.
Thus the scion Of the stock does not
fl the role of preacher. II should be
his part 20 cultivate humility. and
learn rather than instruct.
The EXemplar whose life is the
model Of the church told the young
man Of centuries ago: Sell all thou
hast. and give to the poor" There is
no inkliug OF this spirit IN the con
duct Of the modern capitalist. In
deed, so have the times become that
nothing OF the sort is expected. But
for one whose daily life is in contra
venti0n OF the precept and practice
of religion TO assume the right Of
giving counsel is at best an error out
OF which no good can come.

Some SloCum Justice.

The action Of President Roosevelt
In arbitrarily removing three steam
boat inspectors held TO be in some
measure responsible for the SlOcum
horror, will be heartily commended.
So viii the spirit of his communica-
ton, setting forth as it does regret
that there is lack OF means for max
ing punishment comprehensive and
adequate.
There were many astounding -reve-
latiOns connected with the burning
of the Slocum. The first was that a
boat so utterly unfit for service should
have been permitted TO carry passen-
gers. Every time it transported a
load the escape Of the patrons was
little short of a miracle. The boat
was flimsy, oil-soaked, and devoid Of
any protection against the fire that
conditions invited
A second revelation was as to the
inehciency OF the crew. The engi-
neer stuck to his post, but the rest
We're useless. The deck hands were
ignorant and inexperienced men, who
had been picked up along the docks.
They were guilty of criminal care
lessness at ali times, and of criminal
coWardice at the time OF emergency.
Then followed an exposure Of the
Tottenness OF the sO-called system of
inspection. This system was a mere
form. If IL revealed any defects to
the inspectors, it did not lead to any
suggestion of reform. The SlOcum
was permitted 10 continue it's career
as a death trap until, as the natural
climax. il found a thousand victims.
But the owners did not care. The
inspectors did not care. They were
fiippant and defiant. They asserted
that they had done their fun duty,
when all the world knew the asser-
ton TO be a heartless lie. When the
victims OF the FIRE were shriekfng in
terror there had been no effort TO
beach the boat. and this policy was in
keeping with the whole system of
management
just as the owners grew indignant
when attention was drawn to the
deadly life prsservers." These con
trivances were so old as 20 be worse
than worthless, for not only had they
lost all buoyancy, but they served as
weights TO drag the Wearers down.
OF course. the whole CHASTITY episode
was the result Of crime. The culpa-
bility was so dinused as to render
difficult the task Of fixing the blame.
Nobody had meant to become a muir
derer, but there was wholesale muir
der, nevertheless. Greed was taking
chances. but the heavy penalty fell
upon innocence.
Dismissal of the inspectors in dis
grace is proper, SO FAR as il goes, but
IL does not meet the full requirement
OF justice, ard, unhappily. there seems
no method by which this requirement
may be satisfied
