DRIVE OUT THE MILLS?

r IKE all patcrnalsts, d.. Wiley, Federal food expert, would be
cruel when he meant to be kind if he had his way in recon-
structns our cities. Every city" he says, SHOULD be pro-
hibted by law from any kind Of manufacturing. It should be re-
served for exchange" Then the factories would 60 to the country
and laborers would have their own garden plots. Such a scheme
Sidney Reeve unfolds in his "Cost of Competition" but by also
wipng out exchange carries a step further: "The grass will gather,
10 cultivated even, in lower Broadway and Wall street will be Us
quiet as on a Sabbath morning. Central Park will have grown to
,coalesce with the Battery, Manhattan become one vast public
garden"
DR.. Wiley to the contrary Notwithstanding, the city is the place
for the factory, because there it is assured Of labor to operate it. It
IL also the place for the laborer, because there he is assured of con-
slant employment Of some kind. Operatives in factory towns are
too much dependent on the v~icisstudcs Of the mills. II there is a
shutdown, they are thrown into idleness. If there is a wage reduc-
ton, often they must accept it, or sacrifice their homes and move
elsewhere In the city il a mill shuts down other mills may have
need OF its hands, or the latter may find jobs in other lines, or on
the big public works that cities are ALWAYS making. The son and
2 daughter can get Office positions and tide the family over its tenn.
porary dearth.
To both manufacturer and employee the city may spell high
psents. But it spells Opportunity. Not without reason this city re-
ported in the 1908 census 20, 500 manufacturing establishments, and
464,71e wage carner, constituting with their families more than half
tho population; an annual payroll Of s24s,l 1873. e59 and a product
OF ,62e,5ss,ooe- sum equal to the foreign commerce Of the port,
, and one-tenth the total manufacturing product Of the country.

INEXPLICABLE

w PLY did the Taxpayers Convention break "into laughter,
w howls of dcrisOn and Kisses" as one account puts it, when
W a speaker referred to Mayor Gaynor as zone Of the great
est men !. the city government? The speaker did not accuse the
Mayor of being good natured to a fault" Nor did he impute to
His Honor a temperanental aversion to Consciousness lie SAID that
Mr.. Gaynor was IN able administrator, and he is.
Laughter was the last thing such n statement called for. Back
Of this manifestation of dsapprobation was there memory Of occa-
sions when the laugh was on the other side? Was there recollection
Of instances when the Mayor exposed the activities Of "accelerators"
with selfish interests in the enterprises they wanted the city to take
up, or when he lectured self-constituted committees ignorant Of the
very terms Of the issues on which they aspired to instruct him or
force his hand? Or was there just the natural, human, inconsistent
resentment Of persons who had been demanding that the city do
something-build subways, for example-and had learned that to do
anything costs money, and may cause an increase in realty valuations
Mayor Gaynor has headed wrong more than once, but he under
stands his job. Where other administrators are content to have
ideas, he has intuitions. The science of government has been his
study, his passion. In pretty nearly equal parts he is blend Of phi
losopher, politician and "vilage character" as his frequent letters are
a blend Of Attic salt and Boeotan mustard. He has done the difficult
thing Of making local government interesting. A man to be taken
more or les. seriously, and no fit subject for the loud laugh that may
speak a mental tenement u%nfurnished.

and probably in not one case in fifty is there voluntary and ADEQUATE

~hydrophoba is communicated, or where the ~sensiblities of a child are
permanently affected by a dogs attack, or where the haunting fear of
shydrophoha has been planted in the minds of parents.
y Why should there be dogs in the city, anyway? If there must be
dogs, why are they not all licensed and muzzed or placed on q leash
when at large! Why are not vagrant dogs despatched forthwith
Why is there no law which will put the owner of a dog squarely behind
its misdeeds and make them as perious to his purse as it is to
the peace of mind of other people?
