THINGS no BE THOUGHT or

THINGS TO BE IHOtbhI VI
Now that the strike i'm The Street
Cleaning Department has been virtually
overcome through the firm exercise of
public authority certain considerations
arising out of il may properly be dis
cussed. The action Of the strikers was
wrong from the start, and there is rea-
son 10 hope that their successors and all
municipal employees have learned q les
son which will he useful 10 themselves
and advantageous 10 the city. The re-
cent display Of public sentiment and Off
cial determination should have con
yinced all concerned that Indispensable
public work is not to he interrupted at
the whim of labor leaders.
II is a fact however, that in the
process Of putting an end to this foolish
disturbance various conditions Of the
work Of refuse removal have been re-
vealed. or brought to somewhat~gcncral
attention, which the authorities may
properly consider, and not improbably
find good reason for changing. Obiec-
llOlS. iltl Hll VI W III ~ fiif 'tlN if'is i''
been made 10 the practice Of collecting
ashes and garbage at night. but we
think the opinion has come to prevail
that on the whole the advantages Of the
present system far outweigh It's draw
backs. II may, however. be found prac-
ticable by an arrangement of shifts to
give day work at intervals 10 all the
men i'm succession. and if the force can
be kept contented i'm that way without
detriment to the public interest it ought
TO he done Certainly no harm can re
suit from an openminded consideration
of the question.
However that may he, certain i'm
provementS in the machinery and meth
odS of refuse collection and removal
can be made which would be a relief
10 the force and of benefit TO the city.
There is unnecessary difficulty in getting
the heavy contents of large cans into
the carts, especially when ashes have
been thoroughly wetted down i'm freeZ-
ing weather by reason of the fact that
the carts are swung on high instead OF
low aXleS 1t is Il hard strain on one
man to lift such a receptacle to 4 posi-
tion for dumping. If two men were
assigned TO one cart of the present size
the increased cost would be too great.
But if the carts had double the present
capacity that objection would disappear
and there would probably be saving
in haulage. There iS always economy
in the use Of machinery adapted to its
purpose and the present style of carts
does not comply with that rule.
The fact that the municipal authori-
ties have rightly succeeded in contest
which at one time promised to have
exceedingly mischievouS results should
not incline them TO disregard complaints
which have real substance. ON the con
trary. it should make them all the more
alert and anxious to enable men VINO
are required TO do their duty faithfully
to do it under suitable conditions.

FOR PURER SUBWAY AIR.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: VIII YOU permit me few INES
TO protest against the system Of storing
subway cars in New York city? Dur
ing my tour of the country in seven
Days" ] have been anxiously looking TOT
some system which I might offer as
comparison. but thus far / have been
unsuccessful because other cities Iach

Nevertheless. that docs not excuse
New York Nightly hundreds of cars are
stored in the subway above l9lth street
These cars must be filled with germs ana
foul air after their hours of service IN
the subway without striking fresh ar
except for the slight stretch Of track at
the Manhattan avenue station on the
Broadway branch. My suggestion Is tha'
the subway provide more room at tne
end of the line where these cars may
be stored i'm fresh air. Inasmuch as
fresh air is said to be natures greatest
cure. the beneficial results can readily ne

DECEPTION As TO DIVfDENDS.
The decision of the Court of Appears
that corporation directors who declare
dividends which have not been earned
are responsible for losses incurred ny
persons who have bought stock III the
belief that the dividends had been
carved is in accordance with justice ana
co.nmon sense. The declaring OF dlVl-
dends that have not been earned has lar
IFS purpose the misleading of investors
Not infrequently the persons who oe-
clare. the unearned dividends do so win
a view of unloading their holdings on
the deluded public. To make them pay
the losses of those who bought stock on
what amounts TO a false representation
of the corporations financial condition
would in a good many instances only be
compelling them to disgorgc their i'll
gotten profits.
In the case before the courl-a sun
against certain former directors of the
American Ice Company this principle
of responsibility having been decided. the
question goes Oack To the lower court FOR
trial of The issue whether or not the
dividend was unearned. Here Is the
practical difficulty in The way OF inno-
cent purchasers of securities who have
been mislCG through the declaration OF
nnearued dividends. With publicity OF
corporation finance, or rather its lack or
publicity. what it is. it will usually not
lie easy to prove that dividends were
paid out of capital.

REWARD FOR BEING GOOD.

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: "Suhragist's' answer to Mayor
Gaynor's misrepresentation i'm glowing
terms Of the common law reminds me or
his and Governor DiX's quick signing OF
the equal pay bill for teachers in spite of
the fact that the taxpayers will have 10
pay more and more each year in millions
for this purpose.
Had Dix and Gaynor been sHfragists
they might we'll have told the school teach
crs that when they all expressed a desire
for the ballot they could have equal pay.
As suffragist I am disgusted with the
Indifference of many school teachers 10
the states financial welfare and their over
zeal for their own. II seems 10 me that
their Indifference to their political rights
deserved the Withholding Of equal pay until
such time as they became more patriotic
and less mcrcenary. Retributivc justice
Ct rtainly would have been deserved More
over. II ls not improbable that the increased
pay will prove too great a burden on the
taxpayers.

DISTRIBUTING SECRET TREATIES

DISCREDITING SECRET TREATIES.
II seems not improbable that out Cf
the perIOusly tangled web of diplomacy
over Morocco will come one Salutary re-
form In the conduct of international re-
lationsbipS. IT is already obvious that
fhe secret treaty between France and
Spain was in a measure a cause of IN
desirable complications, and whatever
may be the character of Sir Edward
Grey's disclosures on Monday next there
Is an irrepressible feeling that the secret
clauses in the treaty between Great
Britain and France, or some suspicious
concerning them, may have caused irri-
tation at Berlin Both these secret con
ventions. in other words. have probably
been fruitful Of mischief which would
not have arisen had they been made
openly Perhaps they could not have
been made openly in precisely that form.
but then it might have been a really
better form.
The circumstances Of the disclosures
Of these treaties make 1t appear prob
able that governments will hereafter be
more Itluttdll 10 enter iblO rfilNt 'viil-
pacts. In the case Of France the secrecy
was illegal, since the constitution re-
quircs the reporting of treaties to the
Chamber of Deputies as promptly as
may be practicable. and il was hardly
impracticabe TO report one for seven
years after IL was made No ministry
will be likely to repeat such a perform
ance Nor is Germany likely 10 cult
vate the Bismarckian policy in that re-
spect Indeed the German government
has lately indicated its intention of 90
ing beyond France in the direction of
pnblicity. by referring important treaties
to the Relchstag FOR ratification before
they can 90 into force Great Britain,
announced policy Of referring 10 the self
governing colonies all treaties affecting
their interests is step in the same di-

There are probably other secret
treaties still in force in Europe aud still
updjsclosed. They are q survival OF the
medieyal theory that treaties were per-
sonol compacts between sOyereigns.
That theory. noweyer, is in its deca-
dence. and is being supplanted by the
