Child TO Remain at Orphans Home.
The long fought legal battle for
the possession of little Helen Frank
lin, which has been waged between
the mother, Mrs. Harriet HAZEL and
the father, J. J. Franklin, was set
tied yesterday when Judge Jackson
handed down an opinion and order
committing the girl to the Soldiers
Orphans home, at which place she
has been detained for the past year.
The opinion held that Judge Boiling
er a year ago stated that the girl
should be given to the mother, pro-
viding that after a year she could
show to the court that she was q
capable person to have the custody
of the child. Judge Jackson held
that while the mothers conduct was
such that the child could be given
her under the stipulations he con-
tended that if it was the girls ex-
pressed wish that she not be given
to her mother and that were she
given her choice between her mother
and the orphans home, she would
choose the latter. In view of this,
Judge Jackson has ordered that the
child be committed to the home until
such time that a different decision
can be given. The fight for the child
resulted from the divorce proceed
ings.

CITY RECORD WASTE.

The report of the committee appointed
by Mayor Gaynor to examine into the
administration of the City Record con-
lief Waste in the city's printing and
stationery bills runs as high as 80 per
cent, and most of it appears to be due
to political favoritism. In the last two
years of Mayor McClellan's adminfstra-
ton. for example, 100000 is reputed to
have been thrown away on unneces-
sary advertising. Little weekly papers
sprouted up everywhere which lived on
city advertising, and q mysterious per-
son whose ''pulT' has never been ex-
planned was permitted to collect 90 per
cent commission from these mushroom
sheets. which charged the city rates
which enabled them TO pay this commls-
sion.
Politics in a similar way made city
printing excessively costly. Only IN
sidev printers ever obtained the work,
and the favor enjoyed by the insiders
is shown by the report Of the committee
that one document whose printing should
have cost $4,000 was so padded by the
use Of large types and excessive spacing
as TO cost $4,000. Contracts, the COM
mittee finds, were regularly violated SO as
to swell the cost of work to the city
On annual reports of the departments
the printer was allowed to fix his own
price. which he did at about 30 per
cent above market prices.
These facts taken at random from
among dozens of a similar character are
enough to illustrate how culpable was
the waste in the administration Of the
City Record The Mayors committee
uses the words larceny and graft in
connection with what happened, and it
is TO be hoped that at least some Of the
practices disclosed will come within the
reach of the criminal law.

of Joining a national guard organization
can hardly be blamed for failing to see any
great incentive to do SO in midsummer

1t seems to me also that it is an lnJustlce
to keep q large number of men IN town

THE AUSTRALIAN RETOLUTION.

The recent general election in Aus
tralia, upon the immediate result Of
which We have already commented, must
in its full results be regarded as effect
ing one of the most noteworthy revolu-
tons ever accomplished at the polls In
any country of the world. It was much
more marked than the unprecedented
overwhelming Of the British Unionists in
1906, for in nat case the complexion Of
the House of Lords remained unchanged,
while. in Australia in April last the
Labor party won complete control of
both houses by majorities so large as to
render the opposition impotent and
negligible. For the next three years
there will be practically only one party
in the Commonwealth Parliament, and
there will be no hope Of compelling an
appeal. 10 the popular electorate until
the end of that period.
That circumstance in itself would
mark ii notable revolution. but that is
not all nor the most Of il. Hitherto the
government Of the Commonwealth has
been conducted according TO the Brit
ish system of a responsible ministry
and free public debate of all measures
In Parliament. That plan has now been
abolished, and in its place is put al
exaggerated form of the Australian con-
ception of the American caucus system.

A VOICE FOR THE RAILROADS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What Is there to this agitation over
the increase in Communication rates In New
Jersey? AS 1 understand it. commuters
have been riding at a rate a mile OF less
than what it actually has cost the rail-
roads to carry them, and trust that When
some of the hotheaded ones cool off they
will realize what a hopeless case 1t will De
under these circumstances to go before
railroad commission and ask that the rates
be placed back the old level.
Another point which may be of interest
is found IN the Interstate Commerce Com
mission report of 1907, which shows that
the railroads of New Jersey pay yearly In
taxes more than 81 600 mile, while In New
York the railroads pay only 1858 a mile.
One can hardly blame the commuters Tor
being incensed, however, for none or us
want to pay any more for a thing than we
have to, and, furthermore, 1t is quite Gus
tomary to look upon the railroad companies
as wealth bloated concerns.

THE CONFERENCE RAILROAD BILL

In composing the differences between
the House and the Senate railroad bills
the conference committee appears to
have borne in mind the strength Of the
insurgents in both houses and the adj
vanced views entertained by many Of the
ma jorfty who are not insurgents. The
House provision In regard to long and
short haul rates is somewhat more rad1-
cal than the Senate provision, and the
conferrees followed the House in regard
to that feature. On the other hand, the
Senate provision giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission power to suspend
rate increases for ten months goes con-
siderably further than the House pro-
vision, and the Senate bill was accepted.
OF course the exact language Of the con-
ference bill is not yet known, but II the
action of the conference in regard to the
suspension of rates and to long and
short hauls indicates the spirit of the
report, it will almost certainly be &C
copied with little delay by both houses.
The two most important features Of
the House bill which have been rejected
in conference are those for the regula-
ton Of railroad stock and bond issues
and for the physical valuation Of the
railroads, the conference bill providing,
as to the former, for legislative in
quiry. No one should regret this The
subject Is full Of difficulties, and the pro
visions so far suggested for the regula-
ton of capitalization have been extreme
ly complicated, if not obscure. Their
1jfyr has hpan in 6DIJbf and
their practicability equally so. AS to
physical valuation, no tears will be shed.
Even radicals, at least those who are
well informed, are becoming convinced
that they were mistaken in advocating 1t.
