Tho comments which have been drawn from
some nersons nv the manifestations Of public
hostility TO the advertising methods employed III
the subway do no credit either to their telhpei
or their intelligence. If spokesman 1or the LII
terborougb company or the firm which has the
advertising contract were TO say that they De
Ieved they were proceeding in strict accordance
with their rights and were prepared to defend
their position but that grave questions had been
raised which would have TO be submitted 10 the
courts, they would probably be expressing their
real opinion as well as showing reasonable re-
spect for the community. But some or theln ap-
pear TO think that an advantage is to be gained
by adopting q defiant and contemptuous att-
tude and protesting to believe that their size OF
the case is the only side there is.
Thus. one of these indiscreet takers was
quoted the other day as saying that some per-
sons seemed to suppose the subway was like a
public street and subject to the same sort or
control We do not know precisely how much
was meant by that remark, but on It's race II
implies an exceedingly erroneous notion OF the
facts and suggests the wisdom OF further In
quiry on the part of the speaker. If he should
consult the Rapid Transit act, under which the
commission exercises its authority and by whose
provisions II is bound, he would find that the
subway is ITO be and remain the absolute prop
erty of the city" and "be and be deemed to be

'siOners in said city
We shall not initiate the indiscretion Of those
who profess to know that they can do as they
please in the matter of cluttering the station
walls and platforms with advertisements and
catchpenny devices and mutilating the tiles to
serve their convenience. We do not assert that
the Rapid Transit Commissioners exceeded their
powers in making the original contract, with
its limited advertising privilege, or that they
either transcribed or exhausted their authority
in recently ordering that the most fragrant Of
fences should cease. But we do venture to say
that If the subway operators really think that
they are subject TO no restraint which Is not
specified in the bond IN the interest of public
health, comfort and decency, they are laboring
under a delusiOn from which they are destined
sooner or later to have painful awakening
We advise them now, in the first weeks Of their
enjoyment Of an immensely profitable contract
to treat the commission and the people OF New
York with more respectful consideration.

WINTER IN TWO HEMISPHERES.

The continuance of fine weather in the Mid
die Atlantic States and New-England, despite
the recent fall In temperature, is certainly re-
markable. With the exception of a prolonged
and heavy rainfall a fortnight ago, there has
been little precipitation in this vicinity for
many weeks. Sooner or later there may be an
inconvenient scarcity of water in the streams
In consequence, but 1t is too late now for any
agricultural or horticultural interests to suffer.
In the interior, fifty or a hundred miles from
the metropolis there were injurious frosts as
long ago as September, but only within the
last week or two has it been uncomfortably cold
along the coast. This visitation, moreover, is
not only seasonable, but welcome. The absence
of rain or snow has made life out OF doors much
more endurable than II would otherwise have
been. The only drawback TO the situation is the
gustness which occasionally prevails for day
or so at a time. The pedestrian who does not
get dust in his eyes under such circumstances is
lucky Still, even lively breeze las its charms.
It lends a perceptible exhilaraticn to a walk,
sharpens the appetite, improves the digestion
and stimulates intellectual activity after one
gets indoors.
In Europe the transition from autumn to win
ter seems to have been more abrupt than 1t has
been here. The mercury fell to q lower level in
London last week than has been reached there
in November for many years. There was good
deal of snow in England and on the continent
The sturdy White Star steamship Oceanic had
a hard tussle with the waves near the close
Of an eastbound voyage, and lost part
Of her bulwarks In the encounter. Ihls lat
ter meteorological demonstration was not I'M
timely for with the approach of December
heavy gales on the Atlantic are to be expect
ed The advent OF extreme cold in European
countries, though is trife premature. 1t will
not be safe to draw any conclusions from it
regarding the general character of the weather
for the next few weeks, but the widespread dis
turbance there last week can hardly be looked
upon as suspicious.

SHERIFF ERLANGER's CRUSADE

Lawyers generally seem to sympathize with
the efforts Of Sheriff Erlanger to abolish the
system OF Imprisonment for debt which exists
in the present frequency of body executions
and arrest orders in civil cases. The view
they take is that the rights of the community
are fully conserved and protected by the crimi-
nal law in cases where public interests are in
vOlved.
In most cases where civil arrests are made
however, the public interest does not enter in
the remotest degree. The arrest orders are OBJ
tanned and the body executions served simply
as a drastic means of making somebody pay
up; and in the last analysis the whole bust
ness is nothing but a revival of the ancient
practice of imprisonment for debt long ago
abandoned in this State as a relic of barbar-
ism.
The taxpayers Of New-York County pav for
It IN the long run. Big appropriations have TO
be made each year to maintain the Ludlow st
jail largely as punitive collection agency
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1904-11-27

an equally judlcious step to ask DR.. George T..
KIM of this city, to arrange the same. For
many years it has been usual to make events Of
this character the occasion for converting inter
national congresses OF many kinds. One Of those
which were held at St Louis this year differed
from previous ones in that an elaborate attempt
was made TO poin. QUE the relationships which
exist between various branches Of science.
Whether the managers Of the fair and the
neonie of ST. Louis have fully realized the pc
cuniary expectations which they cherished in
advance is uncertain. Few enterprises of the
sort do. On the other hand, the exhibition has
not been attended by larger number OF de-
laws and accidents than commonly characterize
such underta kings In any case, the st. Louis
exposition has performed at least one unique
and exceptionally wholesome office. 1t has re-
minded wide awake patriots Of the first and
most important Of several engagements OF the
territory of the United States, through the
Louisiana Purchase Of Jefferson more than
century ago.

TRAINING IN PHILANTHROPY.

Ignorance Is the chief cause Of poverty-at
least of that poverty which makes any clam on
the phianthropist. Most OF the want III thls
land of plenty is due to lack of knowledge OF
how to make use of resources which are readily
available. There is plenty of food ana plenty
of work but great numbers OF those VINO need
both know not how TO get the work and then DO
1t properly or, with the money so obtained, now
TO get the value of it In the necessaries Of life.
So the true work of the philanthropist Is not
aImsgiving, but sympathetic and intelligent en-
ughtenment to which almsgving Is subsidiary.
And as the practical philanthrOpist is In high
sense a teacher, it is necessary that he In turn
be taught and approach his problem with
large measure of experience and trained intelli-
gence Philanthropy needs to be in sense
learned profession. Especially is this true when
with our complex civilization, the work of relief
must be highly organized to be effective and
avoid waste and imposition.
This need of special training for charity work
ers receives a highly practical recognition from
Mr.. John S. Kennedy in his gift of quarter Of
million dollars to endow the School of Philan-
thropy, which was established seven years ago
as a summer vacation school to train social
workers and recently opened for regular in
struction Mr. Kennedy's gift is in a sense the
logical sequence of his earlier generosity in the
erection of the United Charities Building. This
gave coordination to charitable effort such as
had never before been attained and emphasized
not merely the need of special knowledge for all
persons dealing with various classes of unfortu-
mates, but of specially trained administrators
capable of conducting the work of organizations
which have grown to be great institutions al
most as much dependent on expert executive
ability as a bank or n railroad. Mr.. Kennedy
holds that social ills as we'll as bodily Ills call
for the services of trained physicians, and he
wishes to provide the community with social
workers who will be skilled for their calling
as are the medical practitioners 1t Is the noble
ambition of a noble man.
Nobody acquainted with the spirit and meth
DDS of the men and women connected with the
associated philanthropic institutions of this city
Will give any weight TO the old gbe about the
GOODNESS of organized charity. They do not in
deed. deal out aims with sentimental indiscrim-
inateness, but they devOtedly give the best of
heart and brain to the improvement of the con-
dtion Of their fellow men, striving to keep free
from red tape and mere routine relief and reach
the vital point for ali lasting work for human
ity, thorough understanding of and sympathy
with those whom they would help. For them
and for others In all parts of the country seek
ing this wider understanding and deeper svm-
pathy Mr.. Kennedy provides an opportunity
which. year after year, will be beneficial TO
circles widening In incalculable progression

that an INSCRIPTIONS man who waters his milk
will not be overcareful TO get pure water and
exclude deleterious germs.
We hope that the authorities and newspapers
will take pains to publish the names and adj
dresses of persons convicted Of selling impure
milk The public should be warned against
them. They should learn that a fine is the least
punishment for fraud. and that conviction means
exposure to their customers and the loss of
trade Moreover, such publicity is desirable,
not only for punishment but for the sake of the
consumer. He has a right to know il his dealer
is cheating him and to have chance to protect
