There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever nine cases out of

SOME SUBWAY Suspicious.

Sir: In the light of present happenings
regarding subways for the greater city and

of Mayor Gaynor's Outlook article Il
would seem that the officials elected on q
specific transit platform are now saying
to the dear people please don't ask us to
redeem those pledges; let us reconsider ::
there must be some easier way.
After doing for four years all in its
power to prevent the city from possessing
in its own right rival subways to the
present transit trust. the last administra-
ton went out of power in a halo of glory
for did il not approve all the plans for new
routes? And the Board of Estimate even
voted enough money to begin work on the
most needed route. Why this halo? Be-
cause II was desirable that the people be
appeased through Tammany adherents so
that the same party might be retained in
power TO continue the policy of delay.
1t is generally believed that the Inter
borough and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
are now one trust; witness how carefully
each system avoids trespassing upon the
others territory. In this section of the

and increasing taxes are out of all prcpor-

OPPOSES ASSESSMENT IDEA
Issue Taken with Citizens Union on
Southern Boulevard Subway.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You give considerable space In your
edition of this morning TO the Suggestions
of the Citizens Union with regard TO pulio-
ing certain proposed branches OF the SUI
way with money obtained from assessment
Among those branches which the CltlzenS
Union thinks should be built by assess
ment is the Southern Boulevard branch III
The Bronx, and the reason given is thae
this branch could be considered a lana de-
velopment scheme and not of especial use
to the city otherwise.
Such an argument only shows how wrong
public spirited citizens can go and how little
they know of the reasons for some OF the
proposed public improvements. The South
ern Boulevard branch extending up west
chester avenue is designed for the purpose
of affording the citizens of Manhattan an
opportunity of reaching seaside park Tor
five cents trip. Every now and then
proposition is made to the Board OF Estl-
mate to purchase a park on the ocean SIDE
and at an expense of several millions or
dollars In the last four years such schemes
have been proposed to the board number
Of times
AS matter of fact the city already
owns a most beautiful seaside park Pei
ham Bay Park has an area of about seven
teen hundred acres. Many Of its beaches
are very fine The bathing housese are
being improved and increased from year
to wear. It is the largest park in area that
the city owns. 1t includes within its bord-
ers golf course, a parade ground and
ample room for games and sports of every
description.
But Pelham Bay Park has been largely
useless in the past, and is so now for the
simple reason that 1t has not been possible
for the ordinary citizen of Manhattan to
reach the park without an expense of Is
cents or 30 cents for a round trip, and
it is to obviate this very difficulty and to
make access to the park easy and cheap
that the Southern Boulevard and West
chester avenue branch Of the subway has
been designed. Immediately this branch Of
the subway is put into operation the labor
ing man In Manhattan can take his family
to Pelham Bay Park at an expense of only
FIVE cents and enjoy a Saturday or Sum
day outing on the shore at a price that
he can afford I have not the slightest
doubt that this road will carry on such
days hundreds of thousands of people.
To speak of such a road as a land de-
velopment scheme is absurd. OF course,
such subway would benefit the surround
ing land and the property through which
or adjacent to which 1t passes on its way
And all this property is now paying taxes
for subways already constructed In other
directions, so that If It were taxed for this
particular branch 1t would be paying out
of all proportion for the benefit that it will

This is q Democratic year" declar red
Chairman Dix. on his memorable incur

cording to experience does not neces-
sarly mean "A Democratic victory. 1t is
mere locution, convenient, but not
final. There have been many Demo-
cratic years. Not to 60 back too far,
1904 was Democratic year in this state
when Governor Higgins was elected by
about 1000 ma jority. And 1906 was
even more a Democratic year. when
Governor Hughes was elected by up
ward of 10000. 4 Democrat might have
been chosen Governor. certainly. in the
latter year. Nothing will ever persuade
the Hon. Mr. Sulzer that he would not
have been elected Governor in that year
but for the Grass and brutal folly Of

of the evils of bossiSm at that moment,
and he has been its enemy ever since,

All of these factors enter into the

a reserve of wisdom undiminished.
What would be the use of an election if
it could now be said that this is a
Democratic year.? Still, we would not
diminish the popularity of the phrase if
we could. It viii admonish the Repub-
licans to do a lot of sober thinking.
Perhaps it will inspire the Democrats to
be as careful about candidates as about
grammar. That will be a gain both
ways.
