NEW YoRK's SUBWAY PLANS.

Breath is almost taken Away In con- sidering the immensity of the concep- ton of a subway system for the move means outgoing and incoming freight line of Manhattan. A subway from slxtieth street under the west side, rounding to the east side at Battery Park, and thence up to the Bronx, with a cross line somewhere between TWenty-thrd and Forty-second streets, Is the magnificent scheme It involves also a tunnel under the North river, and lt may develop tunnel under the East river to bring commerce of Brooklyn and Long Island into the whole. Four tracks, on which ten-ton electrical motor ears are to be oper- ated, is the proposition, and by such means outgoing and incoming froghts ls to be distributed The whole is to cost something like $tOOOoO,OOO
 Data plans and argument as to Its value and practcoblity have been laid before the public service commission as the first step toward obtaining the necessary franchises. Assurances are given that the work can be financed. In other words the money for the building is ready And it Is to be q private enterprise in the sense that public money is not to be asked for --- Brooklyn Eagle.

Trying to Use Taft to Bolster LiIlcy.

To the Editor of The Sun--Sir The Taft meeting yesterday in New Haven was an impressively vigorous and sat isfactory demonstration for William IT. Taft but not for Mir Llley, republican candidate for governor There Is no denying the intense chagrin of the LilJ ley leaders over the complete failure of their cunningly devised scheme to make capital for MT Lilley out of this great Taft day" They expected at least quasi-indorsement, but they got nothing either from MT. Taft or any other speaker at the meeting. IL was the snub colossal, the like of which has never before been witnessed in Con- nectIcut politics.
 That Mir Taft was brought into this state to bolster up the tottering fortunes of the Fyler machine and Mr. Lilley is no secret. Think Of itl This tired man was taken from vital and pressing work elsewhere Into state perfectly safe for him by a plurality estimated at from 10000 to 25,oOO merely on the chance and with the hope that in some way a little national whitewash might fall upon Mir LIlley, The same fate berell this scheme that happened when Mir. Lilley, in his attempt to prove he had the indorsement of the White House, deliberately misled tho public by using 0 letter from President Roose- welt on an entirely different matter.
 Could party sclhshness and party blindness and stupidity go any further than this forced Taft visit? The re- publican electorate of this state stands ready on Tuesday next to defeat the selfish olgarchy that has so long die. tated how lt should think and vote by casting its ballots for Taft and Rob ertson.

1so MILES AN HOUR
That Speed Is Attained by an Electric
 Locomotive at Berlin.

The electric locomotive has It's steam brother badly whipped as to speed, and if only remains to build tracks that will bear trains at over one hundred miles an hour to learn just what can be ex- pected Of the electric trains, says the Metropolitan Magazine. At the cee- brated Berlin Zossen speed trials in 1903 there was established the amaz- ing 13O miles an hour record-the fast est that any man or made ma- chine ever travelled. 1t is almost 200 feet a second or equal to the speed a man would attain in falling from the top of a 2O-story building, It Is a speed so great that defectlon of one of the rails of an eighth of an inch is suffi- cient to throw train off the track. It is so fast that the front of the locomo- tive has to have a great knfe-sheld to cut the wind, which otherwise would either check the speed or crush In the front of the engine,
 A train running at this frightfu speed of 130 miles would crcumnavi- gate the globe in a week It would place the Pacific within 24 hours of the Atlantic. Will such thing ever come to pass? Perhaps A hundred years ago 30 miles an hour was marvellous speed now 1t is common If a train can make 130 now expcrimontally why may not this speed be common in the year 200U?

PLAYING THE CAME.
One Young Man Put to the Test and
 Proved of Good stuff.

Everybody admires man who can take his medicine" even if 1t is in a bitter dose. There would be far less de- mand upon the resources of the charlt- able If more men had the spirit of the hero of little story which comes out of the Helping Hand Institute The man belongs to prominent family in St. Louis and has wealthy connections in this city. In some manner not re- lated, and possibly entirely irrelevant to the main story, he found himself in Kansas City without money and with just four alternatives: He could call on his wealthy relatives, which would he the first impulse of the average man.
 Without letting his immediate rela- lives know of his predicament, he could have borrowed from family friends, which a great many young men have had no scruples against doing. He could beg enough to put him on his feet again, which some young men would have done. Finally he could have stolen, which some have done un- der like conditions.
 But this young man believed In playing the game, as he phrased 1t. He would depend on no ono but him self to extricate himself from sltua- ton for which no one else, so far as known, was responsible. He was will ing to work and would ask no man for q coin he did not earn. He went to the Helping Hand Institute and asked for work
 The officials glanced at his neatly manicured hands and his generally well-groomed appearance and announce cd respectfully that they had nothing for him to do but carrying rock, the hard est kind of manual and menial labor Many young man would have been daunted at the prospect but this courageous young fellow believed in playing the game" The game for him meant to eat no bread he did not earn honestly, no matter at what cost in physical labor, When his object was accomplished and he received word that he had been offered a good posi- ton elsewhere, "the game" was over and he left the institute with smile on his face, thanking the management for the assistance given.
 Such qualities cannot be too warmly commended. Life has few problems which indomitable self-reiance and ar utter absence of fear of hard work vii not solve. Many a man would win "thC game" If he only played" 1t according to this young mans system. Kansas | City Journal.
