Both in business confidence and in

gain is very gradual and conservative
and there is little disposition to 20 be-

but IL is gain, and the significant
thing is that this Improvement has

HATS OFF no THE MAYOR!

HATS OFF TO THE MAYOR!
1t is impossible to admire sufficiently
the neatness with which the Mayor has
extricated himself from an impossible
situation. Up 10 few days ago he had
been the friend and reliance of the In
terborough company. But for his III
sistence that any subways 10 be built
must be extensions of the Interborough
system the city might have been dig
ging the triborough subway for nearly
Il year. He was ready, moreover. some
months ago. to accept practically as 1t
stood an Interborough proposal which,
with the opportunity it afforded for
hu2ger- in accounting, would
have given the company about the same
financial advantages open to it in the
latest proposal just rejected. In all this
time not word did he have TO say
about the abominable financial methods
of the InterboroughMetr COM
bination upon which he had previously
been accustomed to dlate.
IL was the Mayor more than any other
man who kept alive negotiations with
lJP ''iHl'bhNs iSNN ~ 49,
his insistence upon them and his ac-
tSity lin the background as he once
described II, they would have been
dropped because Of the general percep-
ton of their futility. He, more than
any other official. is responsible for de-
lay in subway construction, because he
could see no other way of building
subways than TO add them to those al
ready in the hands Of the lnterborough
company. But just at the moment
when the burden OF accepting the neces-
sarily unpopular terms on which the In
terborough company insisted was TO he
assumed the Mayor suddenly appeared
in opposition, TO the surprise and dis
comfiture of Mr.. Hearst, and the guile
less Mr. McAneny was left holding the

MORE FOR SCHOOLS THAN FOR

The address Of Miss Blake the new

that body at San Francisco the other
day contained vigorous raignment
Of our government for its enormous mill
tdry expenditures and some sharp AMI.
madversiOns upon It's failure, on the
'other hand, to provide certain funds for
educational purposes. II was doubtless
impressive and effective-for the mo-
ment-to say that Congress could vote
two S20,0OOOOO battleships year and
scornfully refuse $4,000 TO the Com
missioner of Education for vitality need
ed research work. But, apart from such
details rs that we have never had a
s900O0,O00 battleship nor one costing
general impression which it is apparent
ly thus sought to convey is correct.
IL Is true that this country is spend
ing large sums each year for its army
and navy and for the pensioners Of It's
former wars. 1t is also true that the
total Of these sums has greatly increased
~ rccvnt years. But il certainly Is not
true that we are appropriating only a
small fraction Of that amount for
Sc hools o. that we are spending moro
for war than for education. The CON
trary is true The latest complete sta
tistics at hand are those for 1908. In
that year our expenditures for the army
were S1102S4,S63 and for the navy
S11SOa7,O9 a total for the two Of
SOS, so $50. That was II very large
sum But in the same year our pay
ments for the maintenance of public
schools amounted TO $3Sl .9l9526, or
more than Sl53,000G0 more than for
both the military services. In that year
we paid for pensions $l53,S92 467,
which added TO the foregoing makes q
grand military total of $3.50 - II ,427. or
only S204,90l more than was appro-
rfiated for public schools, But if t.
the figures for the public schools we add
the $30,O00OOO a year Of the colleges
aud universities, the S7,OO0,0O0 of the
schools of technology ana the 5000,
900 Of the wOmens colleges, we have IA
total far surprising all that is paid for
war. As for the scores of millions oX-
pended OH private schools, high schools
aud professional schools, Of which no
account is taken in the foregoing figures,
they probably amount Ia much more
than the cost Of either the army or
navy.
II is quite incorrect and misleading
therefore, TO ultimate or TO suggest in
any way that we are spending more for
WA, than for education The burden Of
HlilitaIism il grieyouS, no doubt But
