TIE EXTRA SESSION cRIME.

proving that Governor Hughes should
be put in Jail fer calling that session.
He invites the Governors careful. earn

Putting the Governor in jail would be
attended by such difficulties as would
deter any less intrepid soul than Mr.
Belts. But why should he go TO such
lengths: As he himself has explained,
the Governor is only an accessory TO the
crime of calling special session Why
not put the principals in the lock up?
Theyare the Albany correspondents. who,
Mr. Betts's newspaper seems TO think,
forced the extra session for the purpose

HIGH FINANCE AND sWINDLING,

HIGH FINANCE AND SWINDLING-
1t would manifestly be improper to
express any opinion as to the truth or
falsity of the accusations against the
officers of the United Wireless Company.
but if they are true they serve to show
how close akin are high finance and
swindling What the promoters and OIL
GERS of the wireless company did, If the
charges against them are we'll founded,
is precisely what has been done in more
than one promotion Of the high finance
variety which has come to grief and
had its records exposed In bankruptcy
proceedings, except that they went
great deal further than ordinary high
financiers. Substantially the charges
against the wireless companys Ohcers
are that they put forth false hnanclai
statements to deceive the public in re-
gard to the financial status of their
company. while they unloaded their own
holdings of worthless stock upon in
vestors. But that is precisely what high
financiers have done who declared dlyl-
dends that never were earned and eX-
aggerated assets in order to make q
market for shares they were unloading
The wireless transactions, according
to the charges, differ from those OF high
finance in degree rather than in method.
The promoters, if the Postoffice inspect
ors are right, allowed their Imagination
freer rein. We cannot recall in the
realms Of respectable high finance such
a flood of water that the stocks had
only four one-hundredths Of q cent or
actual value for every dollar of market
value in them The changing of $4,000
book value Of patents into S5,52O,OOO.
If true pa sses the limits of high finance,
but only In its bOldness. In fact, the
counterpart of every wireless transaction
described by the postal inspectors can
be found described in the receivers re
ports of the big industrial promotions
and consultations that went to smash
in the recent era of undigested securi-
ties. except that there was more real
value In those creations than there Is
alleged to be in this one. 1t would be
a gain for financial morality to have il
shown how easily the fayorite methods
of high finance pass over the line INTO
plain swindling. 1t would be desirable
if the issuing Of deceptive financial state
mentS could be stamped invariably as
swindling, but, value being a matter OF
opinion and accounting ineXact and rela-
tive, there will probably always be room
for the polite name. high finance, for
methods OF turning the pockets of IN
yesforS inside out.

PEBLIC AND PRIVATE WORKS

Report WAS made yesterday of the
completion of new ten story mercan-
tile building on Broadway in this city.
The contract for its construction was
signed on April %. 1909, excavation con
Sumed five months, and the actual work
OF building began in October last. It
was originally stipulated that it shonld
be finished by August 1 next, but the
time was afterward extended TO October
] on account Of unfavorable building
conditions. But the building was fin
ished and turned over TO its owners Al
days before the former and 100 days
before the latter date.
The building and the land on which 1t
stands cost about S12,OO0,000 IL is
doubtless thoroughly substantial struct-
ure, erected in satisfactory manner
and likely TO serve its purposes for years
before any material repairs are needed.
That is the kind Of building which IN
telligent and prudent business men 10
this city have erected for their uses
1t would be highly interesting to con-
trast this record In time Of construction
with that which has been made in the
erection Of any public building OF CON-

parable magnitude, or even Of one Of our
modern city schoolhouses 1t is doubt
less true that some Of our public build
ings are of type of construction radi-
cally different from and slower than that
of a commercial building, but even then
the contrast in time is far too great
Nor Is It justif1able on the ground
either of good workmanship or of econ
omy, for the private building does not
generally require repairs as soon or as
often as the public building. and we
may be sure that shrewd business men
do not pay exorbitant prices for ex-
petition of work On the contrary, the
more rapid construction is the less costly
iE dollars and cents.
If private undertakings are so much
more promptly, economically and. in
general, satisfactorily performed than
similar undertakings for the public, 1t
would seem to be folly to transfer to
the public any works which can properly
be done by private enterprise.

THE BRITISH JUBILi

THE BRITISH C4THOLIC JUBILEE.
The fortieth anniversary of Arch
bishop Farley's ordination in this city
almost comedies with the celebration OF
the diamond jubilee of the hierarchy OF
his Church in England and Wales. Not
until September will ii be sixty years
since the hierarchy of bishops i'll com
munion with the See of Rome was re-
stored to that kingdom, but for the sake
of practical convenience the anniversary
will be cOmmemorated this month, when
il will coincide with the anniversary OF
the dedication Of Britain TO the Virgin
Mary and to st. Peter, and when it will
be appropriately marked by the cOnse-
Grafton of the great new Roman Catholic
cathedral at Westminster. This latter
incident will occur on June %, and on
June % will fall the seventeenth ami
versary of the dedication named. The
celebrations will be Oh an impressive
scale. atoning for the lack of any at
the fiftieth anniversary Of the restora-
ton. ten years ago, due to the illness Of
Cardinal Vaughan.
The re-esta bliShment of the Catholic
hierarchy in England and Wales must
be attributed TO the enthusiasm which
was aroused by the too brief inclination
OF Plus IN toward liberalism in Italy.

bull as menacin@ to the traditional in

as marked as had been the favorable
disposition toward the prelate whom
Newman had acclaimed as having car
