his opponents. He has been charged with try

10 the schools and thus 10 increase the local
burdens Of the school districts. but he shows
that under his plan the state would give more
aid TO the schools than ever before Practically

schools and tighten the burdens OF the local dis

CONCEALED HEAPONS.

Two Eastern Pennsylvania newspapers, "Ihe
Scranton Republican and THE Wilkes-Barre
Record" noting our suggestion that "one way TO
''reach the members of The Black Hand and
"other criminal organizations is to enforce the
claw against the carrying of concealed weapons,
sav that such a remedy does not go far enough
in checking crimes of violence. We spoke OF
this expedent as zone way" not as the only
way We believe that a rigid restriction or the
sale Of deadly weapons is also necessary.
Yet halting enforcement of the law against
carving concealed weapons is responsible for
great deal of crime. The opportunities which
the police enjoy here for searching suspects
must bring TO light many violations of the law
Yet how few cases are brought to trial! If the
persons who carry concealed weapons could be
made to realize that merely to have p1stoi IN
the pocket was perilous, and that discovery
would lead inevitably to a jail sentence, the
number of pistol users would be materially di-

CITY MONEY IN Personal ACCOUNTS.

CITY MONEY IN PERSONAL ACCOUNTS.
The accounts Of fines in the Court of Special
Sessions are in a typical condition. In nearly
every department of the city government where
money Is collected for the city there has been
until recently. at least some minor clerk who
collected large sums. deposited them in his
personal account and paid them over at inter
walls to the City Chamberlain. In the Court Of
Special Sessions the deputy clerk received fines
amounting 10 from 5000 to $4,000 month.
His custom TO deposit this money I'm his
personal account Once or twice a month he
would give his personal check for the amount
of the fines in his possession to the chief clerk
who would then deposit it in his personal ac-
count On or about the fifth of each month the
chief clerk would send his personal check for
the amount of fines collected the previous
month TO the City Chamberlain.
Naturally city money carried in personal ac-
counts was a great convenience To every one

most important Development recently reported

deserve great credit for having mastered a
difficult economic situation.
It is said that the Senate leaders created the
nevr Committee on Public Expenditures with
q view TO reducing materially the annual ap-
nronristions If this committee exerts the
mowers granted to II. enforcing limit whch
the appropriations for any session may not
exceed then the Governments outlay can be
cut to fit its income and the need for raising
more revenue than has been furnished by the
Dinglev bill. or will be furnished by the Payne
bill with the tea and Inheritance taxes elm
mated. will vanish. The Senate's theory is thai
Congress has only to repress its own inclination
to increase governmental expenditures in order
10 insure the Treasury ample revenue from Gus
toms and internal revenue taxation.
This theory is certainly admirable, although
some NAV he inclined 10 doubt whether human
nature as heretofore manifested in the upper
house of Congress can be changed sufficiently
to permit Of its successful application. The Sen
ate is undoubtedly capable of Spartan self
suppression. 1t has. however, never gone into
serious training as a watchdog Of the federal
Treasury. The summaries Of appropriations for
the last twenty years will hardly show single

as II passed the House of Representatives, was
not increased before # passed the Senate. TAX
ing the appropriations for the last three fiscal
years. we find that the totals of the regular
appropriation bills as they passed the House
of Representatives and as they passed the Sem

THE SERVIAN NOTE.

The report that Austria Hungary refuses to
paccept the latest Servian note is disappointing,
and IL is to be feared that IL will strengthen un-
favorable critics Of the Dual Realm in the suspi-
cion that the Vienna government means, If posi-
BILE, either TO use Servia as a cats-paw In deal
ing with the other great powers or TO crush that
little kingdom into condition Of practical vas
salage. The full text of the note In question has
not been published here, but may safely as
suIne that 1t is at least as conciliatory and as
favorable to Austria Hungary that which Mr.
Miiovanovich, the Servian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, issued 10 the powers fortnight ago and
which was so temperate and reasonable that it
seemed worthy 10 be accepted forthwith as a
settlement of the controversy.
In that note Mr. Mlovanoyich declared that in
Servia s~opinion. her relations with Austria
Hungary had not been affected by the annexa-
ton of the provinces. but had remained normal
and that it was Servia's desire that those reIa-
tions should thus remain, unaltered in their
neighborly friendliness. As for the disposition
Of Bosnia and herzegovina. that was declared TO
be, in Servia's opinion. European question TO
be considered by the signatories Of the Treaty Of
Berlin rather than by Serya. The note con
cluded with the explicit statement that in the

ESCAPING FROM ~sUBJECTVITY"1

We note with pleasure that The Brooklyn
Eagle has recovered from its recent attack of
dejectivity over the impending philippine sub
Yectivity" of Brooklyn. 1t appears to derive IT'S
present consolation from the thought that, what
ever happens TO its Borough President, nothing
can deprive Brooklyn Of the distinction Of being
the home Of the Hon John J. Fitzgerald, tine

The Hon. John J. Fitzgerald deserves this
ascription because, says THE Eagle" "the stand
he has taken in the house was right lie Is
'.the spokesman and leader of the antl-Bryan
Democrats" As such the "inducement TO follow
