Mr.. jerome Tells the kansans Who's
Who.

District Attorney JEROME has been
telling the culture seekers of Kansas
something about the notable men con-
spicuous in Eastern politics and finance.
He has explained to them the eminent
services performed in behalf of the
policyholdcrs of the Equitable by the
dilgent DR., DEPEw. He has pointed out
the difference between Senator MURRAY
w. CRANE of Massachusetts, than whom
"a better man never lived, and Senator
HENRY CABOT LODGE, who is mot as
broad az the edge of knife blade. >
And he is reported as calling attention
to less conspicuous but not unknown
statesman and captain Of industry in
these words:
The leader OF the Republican party, that grand
and good prophet, OpEIL" whose fingers dishonest
dollar has never touched-and gotten away"
Mr. JEROME is an expert in the choice
OF phrases to characterize those of whom
he does not approve. From him the
people of Kansas obtained fearless
and unprecedented exposition of several
phases of contemporary life, and the
principal actors therein.
They are to be congratulated on hav-
ing learned something of the truth about
number of individuals with whose
names they may have been familiar pre-
vously. but of whose real characteristics
they have had only an imperfect con-
ception.

BroOklyn's Subway.

When the Brooklyn extension of the
subway was planned it was designed as
a two track system throughout its en-
the needs of the borough require four
track road under Fulton street if the
system is to reach its highest useful
ness. The residents of Brooklyn, the
Rapid Transit Commission, and the
marlborough company are united in
desiring to amend the original plan and
lay four tracks at once, because the
change can be made now with less an
noyance to the public and at smaller
cost than if it is undertaken in the future
after the present excavation is filled in
and the street closed.
To widen the subway by the addition
of two tracks would necesstate the in
vasion of some of the vaults on Fulton
street and the only opposition to the
plan comes from the occupants of these
spaces. The marlborough company has
80 far been unable to obtain the con-
sents required by law from the property
owners, and because condemnation pro-
ceedings would take SO long a time to
complete it is probable that, unless the
consents are obtained, the two track
tunnel will be finished and the doubling
of its capacity left to the future.
If the refusal of the Fulton street
property owners to meet the Rapid
Transit Commission half way results
in this. Brooklyn will be extremely un-
fortunate. Her principal business thor
oughfare will unquestonably be torn
up again in the not remote future for
the sake of an Improvement that should
be made now. All the discomforts and
pecuniary losses entailed by obstructed
highways will be suffered twice by the
merchants on the street, instead of once.
Not only would the welfare of the borough
and the whole city be served by an agree
ment now, but specifically the property
owners themselves would benefit by the
construction of four track road at this
time. 1t is to be hoped that they will
see their way clear to aid the oity's de-
velopment by making terms with the
Rapid Transit Commission and the rail-
way company.
