George Rashid, the Syrian leper whose
pitiful efforts to return to his native
country few months ago attracted ma
tional attention. is dead. the victim of
popular superstition and innamed imagin-
alton. of medieval ignorance and of munich
pal, state and national neglect. Rashid
would probably have died anyhow as the
result of his disease, but that his days
were shortened by the sufferings he en-
dured incidental to his efforts to go home
and the shameful actions OF the public au-
thorities cannot be doubted
This case should result in the early en-
actment Of state and federal laws gov
erning the handling of lepers in all parts
of the United States and their transit
from state to state. 1t 10 unlikely that

A Political Puzzle Problem.

On the stump in Maryland John Sharp
Williams. 1t is stated, expresses 1.-The belief
that the country Is on the verge of a
breakup of the old party alignments and
that In five years there will be two great
parties. paternalistic composed of men
who. having lost all confidence in the ca
pacity of the people to do anything for
themselves, would intrust everything to
the government The other party will be
composed of men who still believe in the
initiative of the individual and in the prin-
ciples enunciated by Thomas Jefferson"
This opinion is shared by a great many
people. and many welcome the prospect.
They are tired Of the old divisions over
old issues. They think that as a people
we have outgrown them. AS France in
the past forty years has changed her
form of government and point of general
view, as Germany in that time has be-
come a great world power. as Italy is now
united under one government, as Russia
is slowly emerging from despotism, so the
United States. obeying the law of growth,
has come to confront conditions and duties
which require new remedies. Such Is the
reasoning upon which much of the existing
agitation in this country rests.
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Hearst are agreed
about this matter. The latter is slightly
in advance of the former as to the date.
He thinks that the breakup has already
begun. and will be complete in two years.
His hope of election in New York is based
upon the belief that the re-alignment is
far advanced. He comedies a large de-
lection from the democratic party next
month. but welcomes it as assuring re-
cruitS greater in number from the republi-
cans.
But while the two men agree as to the
proposition of realignment. they will be
opposed to each other should it come. Mr.
Williams will be on the side of what he
describes the initiative of the individ-
ual." He calls himself Jeffersonian demo-
crat. Mr.. Hearst will be on the SIDE de-
scribed as paternalsm He calls himself a
Jeffersonian democrat. Mr.. Williams tags
Mr.. Hearst as socialist. bent on destroy
ing the last vestiges of democracy. Mr.
Hearst tags Mr.. Williams as an ally Of
putocracy, bent tightening the chains
of the money power the limbs of the
people. And so the controversy goes on.
We probably gather from this the reason
why Mr.. Williams. though so near, is yet
far from the scene Of the New York
conflict Why Is he not in the thick of
it, appealing for votes for the nominee of
the Buffalo convention who calls himself
a democrat whom Mr.. Bryan calls demo-
crat, and whom Tammany, in a fashion
is supporting the score of party regu-
larity? Puzzle: AS Hearst holds that Will
Jams is no democrat. and Williams holds
that Hearst has claim to the designa-
ton. find democrat. Whom does the title
fit. and what will the possessor do with it

More Capitol Falsehoods.

The only excuse. or consolation offered
for the monumental extravaganza Of the
new state capitol has been that nothing
Is too good for Pennsylvania" and that
the best Is necessarily expensive. Marble
and carved mahogany and solid bronze cost
more than limitations. and the state OFF,
Gals were determined that this work should
be genuine throughout 1t now appears
that even this pretense is false. The archi-
tect of the capitol admits that consider
able part of the 'hand-carved mahogany"
holdings and ornaments that were suppos-
ed to be a monument of the artistic in
tegrity of Pennsylvania are not mahogany
at all nor hand-carved. but are of mold
ed composition stained in imitation of the
wood. The architect explains that this
change in the specifications was authorized
because the composition produced the
same effect" and because "the saving per-
mitted the expenditure of more money for
bronze work.

As Customs Change.

The troubadour's gone and the knight is
no more
Who fought in the lists with a will;
The singer seeks gold. and the struggle
is DER
That is only for smiling and skill.
No more does the courtier so mincingly
stride.
All ruffied and powdered and curled;
There's no time to float with the dangerous
tide -@@
It's work-a-day. now-a-day world.
The ballad we sing is the ballad of trade;
The fight is for riches and power:
No trumpet with hourisheS tells when
we've made
The fleeing success of the hour:
But the pace is full swift. and the roadway
Is clear
AS along through the game we are whirled,
And the blood tingles warm and it's good
to be here
In this work-a-day. now-a-day world!

in Difference to the unreasoning public
fear of the affiiction which has been in

should be made for the strict segregation
of lepers from the well, and for their

should be treated as patients. not as out

best TO protect the interests OF his client by
combating not only the law, but also the order

Our method Of protesting against the order of

In the coming race for subway building

such is exempt from taxation. TINS is announcer
considerable advantage.
President Orr OF the Rapid Transit Commas
sion IS confident that there will be more than one
bidder for the subways and the commission has
laid out the routes with the idea that a com
plete competing system can be built by ne"
bidder While the theory is regarded as correct
contractors see only outcome OF compeu-
tive bidding. and that is that the 1nterooroughs

vantageous 10 the city than the ones submitted
by others.
The early estimates OF the Interboroughs en-
g1neers contemplated expenditure OF about

matter OF fact, as verified by the Rapid Transit
Commission, the Belmont interests spent sI4'-

This high figure IS reached because, the en-
gipeers saw a complete new power plant costing
about 100000 would have TO be built, while
the work as a whole would cost much more a
nile than the existing subway. The Brooklyn
Rapid Transit people figure that subway built

the Belmont people can be built for about one

the company is called upon to pay $47s,500
This increase in franchise tax refers only to
the franchise held by the Consolidated Gas Com
pany.
The State Gas Commission, in fixing the price
OF gas in Manhattan at so cents a thousand
cubic feet, based its decision what the COM
missioners determined TO be the cost OF pro-
duction. The commissioners In determining
the cost OF production omitted the question of
the company's valuation Of franchise. In doing
this the commissioners explained followsi
"On the evidence before the commission IL is
questionable whether the Consolidated Gas
Company has a franchise OF any considerable
value. The commission believes that these fran
chises should not be capitalized against
the public" The commission further said:
THE seeming injustice of requiring a cor
poration to pay taxes upon franchise, and at
the time refusing to allow the capitalize
ton OF that franchise, is sophistical. not real"
These franchises that now valued at S31.-
100000 by the State Tax Commissioners, and
assessed at that figure for the year 1905, were
valued by the State at 81, 7S1 900 IN 1884 and
a Senate committee two years later found the
franchises of four Of the constituent companies
worth more than that figure.
