tors since they have come in closer
contact with them, they seem to have
retained to a great extent their vaunt-
ed honestly. During all the years
since the United States bankruptcy
law went into effect only four Chinese
residents of this city have filed petit
tons In bankruptcy. Considering the
formidable number of Chinese mer-
chants and residents in New York city
this is an excellent showing.
The remarkable commercial growth
of New York city is shown in the fiji
ty-ninth volume of the Copartnership
and Corporation directory for 1911.
which has just been issued. The di-
rectory shows a total of $500 names
as compared with 1900 in the edition
of a year ago. an increase of about
$500. The first volume, published in
1s49. contained approximately 5000
names. Since then there has been
an average annual increase of 1,4OO
names in each directory.
If the ambitious dreams of William
Henry Harrison, a New York inventor,
are ever realized, the various patterns
of earoplanes. although barely out of
the experimental stage, will be, rele-
gated to the scrap pile for all time
to come. Harrison, who is by profess

up by gas explosions. The motion

In the machine invented by Mr.. Har'

force of the gas explosions.
Every now and then some man is

bon for his particular class. Another
specimen of the ''meaneset man" was
found the other day, when man was
brought before the Harlem police
court upon complaint of his crippled
son, young man of about twenty
years. Some years ago the young man
then boy, was run over and lost his
right leg above the knee. He was
supplied with a wooden leg and tried
his best to find work and make a liv'
ing. Owing to the fact that he was
crippled, however. he was unable to
obtain a permenent position and only
occasionally was he fortunate enough
to find some odd job. His father be-
came impatient and threatened the
boy he would take his wooden leg
away If he should not find job with

his father not only took his artificial
leg away from him, but turned him
out of his house. The young cripple
was taken in by charitable woman
in the neighborhOOd and it was upon
her complaint that the father of the
boy was brought into court. When the
magistrate heard the story of the
case he declared the old man to be
almost too mean to live" and ordered
him to return the leg to his son with
out delay.

TOLD BY THE RECORD.

II HE Democrats are admittedly hard up" for
4 arguments during the coming municipal
campaign Some Of the leaders of Democratic
thought are trying TO make it appear that the
Democratic administration has been a trihe better
than the previous administration of the Republi-
cans Therefore the Democrats should be kept in
power.
Mr. William-P White, chairman Of the Finance
Committee of the last Republican City Council,
knocks that argument in the head by his very
lucid statement recalling some of the transactions
Of the last Republican City Council
In his printed statement he points out that the
Democrats are trying TO mislead the voters when
they say the Republicans we're very wasteful and
extravagant. Mr. White declares that during the
four years Of Republican administration an accum-
ulated deficit Of $4,000 or more was wiped out
and all the pay rolls and bills contracted for cur
rent expenses we're paid.
Mr.. White rightly recalls some Of the difficulties
with which the administration had 10 contend that

CITY Ten new patrolmen we're appointed. Money
was spent Tor water improvements better streets,
PARK extensions, Fairgrounds and all that The
nre protection was increased and increased ap-
preparations we're made for the Street and Sewer
Department. The administration had MANY things
to it's credit.
Mr.. White satisfactorily replies N the cbar,o
that Council used the funds Of the Wafer ne
partment. The former City Council can we'll a.
ford 10 stand on its record as compared with thar
of the present Democratic Council and there
should be not the slightest hesitancy on the part

BOY SCOUTS PLAN
FIGHT ON TIPPING
Change Recommended in Law
Governing American Mem
Der Of Order

NEW YORK. April 27-The Boy
Scouts are starting a crusade against
tipping. change has been recon-
mended in scout law by a committee
of the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America, and this recon-
mendation sent to the members of the
National Council probably will be
adopted within a few days. The pro-
posed plank in the scout law reads
as follows:
"A Scout is thrifty. He works faith
fully, wastes nothing, and makes the
best use of his opportunities He
saves his money so that he may pay
his Swn way, be generous TO those
in need: and helpful to worthy OBJ
iects. He may give his services for
pay, but must not receive tips for
courtesies or good turns"
If this plank is adopted by the Ma
tioDal Council i'm connection with the
general revision of the scout law. il is
apparent that 100000 Boy Scouts in
this country will take stand against
condition that has annoyed people.
AT the same time another plank OF the
Scout law says
"A Scout is useful He must be
prepared at any time to save life or
help injured persons. He must do
a good turn to somebody every day"
The trainers of the new Scout law
have aimed to impress the idea of
courtesy upon the boys and to make
them see that It is not proper to take
tips. Other proposed changes in the
Scout law require that a Scouts
honor be trusted that he he loyal
10 his Scout leaders, his home, par
ents and country; that he be friendly
to all and a brother to every other
Scout. The new law asks also that
he be kind TO animals, save them from
pain and not kill one unnecessarily.
Gen. Sir Robert S. s. Baden-Powell
has announced his intention Of max
ing visit TO the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica. General Baden-P Powell, founder
of the Boy Scout movement, recently
entertained Ernest Thompson-Seton
chief scout Of the Boy Scouts in
America
Through a misunderstanding, boys
throughout the country under 10 years
of age have become Tenderfeet. but
have done excellent work. The Man
ual, however. provides that only boys
between II and is years old may be-
come Boy Scouts, and the question as
to what should be done with the BOYS
under 70 years who have already
joined the Boy Scouts was taken up
by the executive board Of the national
organization. II was decided that
the boys younger than 10 years that
had been admitted should be retained
and that perhaps a plan might be
developed by which they would he
come members Of junior Boy Scout
organization.

in the affairs Of the city.
The deficits occurring in the City Treasury are
beginning 10 attract their attention as never DC
fore They arc beginning to realize that al our
present rate matters will go from bad to worse
They will certainly become worse 1t the Demo
cratic administration is continued IN power
When some citizens think il necessary to apply
70 the courts for an injunction to restrain City
Council from doing something selling the Rodney
Street property-that would not be FOR the best
interests OF the city il is certainly time that bust
ness men should wake up 10 the fact that they
should take more direct interest IN the ahalrS OF
the city than they have taken.
There should be more business men IN City
Council men who are accustomed to directing
business affairs and the handling OF money The
Chairman of the Finance Committee should be
man familiar with the transactng OF large husi-
ness matters.
Peonle seem TO forget that the municipal gov
ernment is really a large business corporation,
more so even than the State government II is
imperative then that If we are going to have a
good CITY government or anything that approaches
such standard that we should have men OF the
business stamp in Council
In the past and at present men who arc capable
Of making such Councilmen have TO large eX-
tent washed their hands Of il all. They say, let
the politicians attend TO this matter. These sub
stantal take little no interest in city poll
tics They many of them, do not even vote at a
city election, an affair that should be more inn
poftsnt 10 the residents of this city than any other
election
But it is high time that the business men, the
large property owners and others Of that kind
should ask themselves whether they arc doing their
duty by holding aoof from the affairs of city gov
ernment
This is an age in which men of this kind are be-
ginning TO feel more and more the responsibilities

tain qualities and abilities that make him what
is termed a successful man, competent man in
business or in manufacturing, he should feel that.

OF the city in the Board of Trade, in politics If
such men could be aroused to a proper apprecia

coming city election. 1t was unfortunate that Mr..
White was not returned to Council
# the Republicans of the former Council we're
voted out of power after the record they made,
what may be expected when the voters get
chance at the present Democratic Council which
has practically run amuck often dsregsrding the
sage advice of the City Auditor and doing acts
which brought upon them the condemnation of
those who had been their supporters?
The playground deal and the proposed sale Of
the Rodney street reservoir property should be
sufficient in themselves to condemn the present

Speaker Clark is TO be present ''in an

j. Episcopal Church was dedicated the other
day with appropriate ceremonies. 1t is building
that reflects great credit upon the parish and will
serve as a means of extending the influence and
practical usefulness Of the parish.
Trinity during the last decade or so has made
a remarkable growth, from a small chapel TO a
handsome church building and now a parish
house and reotory.
And in connection with this we cannot but re-
mark that we think il would have been a good
step in many ways had St. Andrews and Emmanuel
