That is welcome announcement Of the Anti
Smoke League that 1t believes the smoke prob
lem in the big power establishments TO nave
been at last satisfactorily solved. 1t comes as
a result of experiments at a station of the New
York Edison Company which has hitherto been
one Of the chief offenders. but which we are as
sured will offend no more. At the station in
question there are eight huge chlmneys, which
have belched forth black smoke from hundred
furnaces, to the vast discomfort and damage Of
an extensive neighborhood. The mere cessation
Of that murky output will be great gain for
cleanliness and comfort and for law.
But, Of course, the good work will not end
there. 1t is to be assumed that the other sta
tions Of the same company will Immediately
make the same reform and If all other big
smoke producers do not promptly follow the eX-
ample we hope and expect the Anti-Smoke
League will compel them to. Some very large
concerns have been among the most persistent
violators of the law, and one or more of them
have tried to defend their conduct on the alleged
ground that while small establishments might
avoid emitting smoke IT was impossible for such
big ones to do SO. The concrete demonstration
of the ability of of the very biggest to abate
fits smoke nuisance Will deprive them of that
plea and should compel them to obey the law.
The Incident affords an example of the success
attendant upon efforts to correct public wrong
which are planned with intelligence and discre
tion and are pushed with unfagging persistence
We believe the Anti-Smoke League has been
fighting for more than year this one establish
ment over which 1t has at last won so signal a
victory In that campaign 1t has achieved an
actual work of great value, for which it is en-
titled to sincere gratitude. and it has set an ex-
ample which should be an enduring inspiration
TO this public. If it is possible to do such work
as 1t has done, it is also possible 10 do, in the
same way, other things which need to be done
for making this city more attractive and the
conditions of life In it more enjoyable

The suppostion is that 1t was General Hell

who in turn reported it TO the Emperor. Thus
the political scheme of the Camarilla was frus

Emperor which have resulted in the dismissal
OF Kuno Motke from his office and the
disgrace and fall from imperial favor of Prince
Philip Gutenberg hmself-the ambitious noble
man who was the EmperOr's collaboration in
writing the Song to IEgir." Whether the Lie

BEAUTY AND THE REAST'

The philosopher who declared that the Beau
tiful was the True and the True was the Beau
tiful is just beginning to gain recognition and
adherents. Boards of education throughout our
progressive land subscribing to the meta
physical doctrine he enunciated; and. what Is
more, they are putting the creed into practice
by employing visions Of loveliness to teach
school. Many are the practical philosophers on
school boards nowadays who insist that a
highly cultured, tactful schoolma'am with visage
grim as a mortgage is vastly inferior to q sweet
skittish sprite ignorant as she is bllssful
From Maine to Indian Territory, therefore, com
plexion doctors are reporting brisk and grow

The reader who has not followed diligently
the pedagogical journals for the last few years
may wonder at this alleged superiority of good
looking teachers. He will recur to the oft re-
iterated demonstration that there is no direct
connection, save a purely anatomical one, be-
tween daintly tilted nose and the brain cells
in which arithmetic and geography are kept on
tap In many Socrates Beauty and Truth are
divorced without alimony; and this seems to
clinch the case for the casual observer. But the

THE FRANCHISE TAX 1uEyDHENT

The New York Tax Reform Association has
written TO Governor Hughes In opposition to the
bin providing for the taxation OF special fran
chises for crossing streets In cities and incor-
porated villages. This is the bill whose passage
the Governor recommended IN special mes
sage fortnight ago. The chief objections urged
against the measure appear TO be that 1t will
be difficult to assess the valuation of franchises
for crossing streets, and that the taxation of
such franchises will involve considerable expen-
diture and be productive Of little revenue.
The state cid tax these franchises for street
crossings under the Ford franchise law as orig
inally passed. That law was too broad, includ-
ing the numerous crossings of steam and troll
ley railroads everywhere In the state and In
the rural district these rights were of too lit
tie value TO be worth the trouble and expense
of taxing them. The law was amended so as TO
relieve from taxation all street crossing fran
chises This amendment struck out the most
valuable city avenue along with the country
crossroads. It relieved from taxation the fran
chises which 1t was not worth while to tax but
with them franchises of substantial value. The
State Tax Board this year proposed that the
tax should be restored upon crossings In popu-
lous communities, cities and incorporated vii
lagos where such franchises have sufficient
value to make their assessment and taxation
remunerative TO the state.
Street crossing franchises exist in the case of
public service companies which have a private
right of way, permitting them 10 operate across
over under public highways crossing their
right of way. The state taxes franchises to
operate along public highways; why should 1t
exempt franchises TO cross them? Obviously
right TO cross city street has considerable tax
able value A franchise TO cross Fifth avenue
may well be worth more than franchise to
operate along hundred miles of public high
way in Podunk. Regarding the value OF these
untaged franchises the State Board OF Taxa
tion reports that they aggregate about S1O-
100000. Says the report:
In many instances they are much more valua-
bic than special franchises which are being
assessed by this board on account of their being
differently situated in streets and public places
This property right, indisputably OF substantial
value, Is not taxable under the present law. and
this board is unable TO see why IT should not
bear Its just share Of the burdens Of govern
Ynent.
The objection that 1t will be difficult to assess
the value of right TO cross street is only
the Old objection that has always been raised
to franchise taxation. The difficulty of assess
ing intangible property has not prevented this

1t Is hoped, will soon be captivating Prince
School-Boy, whom the wicked fairy, Nature, has
turned into a scrappy, adventure-loving Beast,
and by accepting him transform him into
citizen.
Unhappily, this delightful theory has its draw
backs and they are serious ones too. For in
stance out In BartleSville l. t., there were not
enough native beauties capable OF feigning B
Fourth intelligence to win the hearts of all the
six-year-olds. and the school board was forced
to import sixteen pinks of perfection from Mis-
souri,, thereby incurring the everlasting enmity
of all BartleSville ladies, fair, fat and foolish
alike. Local scribes are ungallant enough to
write that the native women couldn't stand the
competition caused by these imported producers
of heartaches. By way of reprisal invitation
lists for next winters popcorn festivals and
church socials are already being drawn up so
as to exclude the imported Venuses from all the
doings of Bartlesvilles four hundred. We sus-
pect the Bartlesvillan temperature just now to
be 400 in the shade. Anyhow, the fatal flaw in
the Newer Education is obvious. If the theory
were sound the angry danes could be taught
the Truth by the beauties themselves. The fact
that the visions of lovelness from over the Mis-
souri, line make the home guard blind to rea-
son proves that the pedagogues have-well,
been going to school to Beauty. For the theory
