Stiilman is the heaviest taxpayer ia
New York so far as personal property
Is concerned, This interesting fact be-
comes known through the publication

names and holdings of bank stocks by
Comptroller Metz.
Mr.. Stillman4 president OF the City

600 worth of the stock OF that institu-
tion alone. He pays a tax thereon Of
$4,000 year. which places him in the
lead OF Andrew Carnegie. whose per
sOnal assessment OF $5.000,000 was
supposed To entitle him TO the honor
OF being the largest contributor to the
personal tax fund.

A BuSineSSIike Protest.

Patrons of nearly all the suburban
street car lines of the District are
to meet tonight for the purpose OF
uniting their protests against the
accommodations now furnished.
Their plans seem 20 have been we'll
digested and the meeting can, ac-
cordingly, be reasonably expected 10
accomplish something. The effect,
then. will be that a series Of remon-
stranees and petitions, no one OF
which, separately, seems to have
had any particular weight with the
street car authorities, will acquire d
weight which no authorities can ig-
more and which the local street car
authorities probably cannot resist.
For Just now 4 significant contest
over the Districts street car lines
is going on under the surface. The
Commissioners have renewed their
recommendation of last year, and
the year before, and maybe the year
before that, to the effect that the
District Government must have not
only the right to supervise the
schedules of the local street car
lines but also the right to make
that supervision effective. Today, as
everyone knows, the two companies
must submit their time tables TO the
Commissioners for approval. If they
are approved, we'll ana good. If they
are rejected, we'll and good. The
companies do as they please, just
the same.
To the grant of authority suffi-
cient to make the supervision any
thing but a name, both street car
companies are more o: less openly
opposed. The degree of their open
ness about i, is not material
Through three sessions of Congress
there has been no action. That is
the material point. And no doubt
they hope now to prevent action in
the course of the current session.
But a united protest from the pa
irons of all, or nearly all, the subur-
ban lines will make their fight
against this reasonable supervision
extremely hard. If such a protest
should be carried to Congress with
any ginger behind il, the opposition
TO effective supervision would find
its cause seriously discredited.
Wherefore. it is fair TO assume the
street railways will hearken TO
tonight's protest before it gets TO
Congress.
OF the merit of the complaints
which will find expression tonight 1t
is not necessary now to speak. Many
of them, altogether too many of
them, are abundantly founded in too
few cars. inadequate accommoda-
tions at the hours when the traffic
is heaviest, and schedules so scant
that the missing of a car is as costly
an operation as being late for rail-
road train. These specifications are
distinctly applicable to the Rock
Vile line, the Anacostia line. the line
to Alexandria-maybe to others. In
the light of such a service as those
lines. afford. it is fine to think a
protest is to be made and TO be
made by businesslike and fOrceful
means.

Giving and Helping.

The average American is generous.
At the first sight of distress he
wants to relieve. Simulated or pre-
tended suffering works with him or
upon him without much difficulty.
There is too much pathos in the
sight of a fellow human being who
is suffering and too much trouble
and self-restraint are required to
investigate the mans story for any
delay. If the American gives, usual
ly he gives promptly.
So it happens that in Washington
and everywhere else in the United
States there still exists, in spite of
an overwhelming showing against it,
a faith in indiscriminate charity. The
poor must be helped-the hungry must
be fed-it is we'll enough TO talk OF
citizen-making and character-build-
ing, but neither will feed the starv-
ing or warm the freezing. These are
arguments as familiar 10 the Asso-
ciated Charities as the Decalogue.
Let such as believe these things
ponder the speech of Mr.. John Burns,
recently appointed to the British
ministry and long a labor representa-
tive in Parliament. He opened his
campaign for reelection 10 the house
Of commons with d very Temarka-
bic speech TO his Battersea constitu-
ents- He said a great many things
worth reprinting, but those relating
10 the English poor laws, the army
OF the unemployed which now march
es up and down in London, and to
his own choice of serving the work
man in office were best of all.
He had TO choose, he said, whether
for the next ten years he would
indulge, perhaps, in the futility Of
faction, perhaps in the impoteRey of
intrigue, or accept an office which in
their day and generation" he could
make fruitful of good work" The
critic of organized charity is not
tempted either to faction or in
trigue. Like Burns, he has a
choice TO make-and in his case it
lies between helping to make a good
work fruitful or weakly blocking the
way against others who are willing
TO help.
Burns spoke of "sOme knowledge
born of kinship with the poor" He
got his education at night school.
His first friends were workmen Of
the class who are now without work.
His idea" for them, as he phrases
it, in their great extremity, is not
indiscriminate giving. but careful
help. He defined that idea" sue
cinctly. 1t was:
Fewer warehouses and more homes;
smaller charities and larger wages: more
pleasure and less drink; smaller cities
and larger villages.
And when he had said this he ad-
ded this warning, which bodies like
the Associated Charities ought 10
print for the enlightenment of all
their critics:
BY helping the poor the government
must be careful that they do not endow
poverty.
There is the whole case of organ
lied charity in a single sentence.
