GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION

Taking the pace set by Hoboken, New
Brunswick and Bayonne, Jersey City has just
turned down the proposal that she adopt gov
eminent by commission, as provided for in the
Walsh law enacted at the last session of the
Legislature The vote was 1881 against the
change TO 1872 in favor of tia decisive ma
iority of 1909; but the vote at the same time
dscloses a diversion of popular opinion on the
question very nearly even. To some extent the
division along political lines, for the three
wards that commonly give republican MAORI
ties in regular elections all showed up with
jorities for the commission government plan.
although both the party organizations and the
political and office-holders in general opposed
the change The result presents a good illus
tration of the advantage that practical poll

mcnt league, composed largely of the three lat
ter classes of citizens, held public rallies had
numerous street meetings and employed cart
tail orators to urge commission government into
the heads of the voters and conducted an or
ganized propaganda in the cause, while the op
ponents OF the proposal left the voters to do
their own thinking but worked night and day
personally to get out the full strength of the
anti vote at the polls-and these tactics
won out: The ordinary. everyday voter pays
little attention to theories of government and
frespm arguments; he knows just about what
he wants, and all the logic in the world can t
make him change his mind Strangely enough

lined up against government by commission

PUDE FOOD EXPERT.

As far as the facts developed III the case
of Doctor Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry in the department of agriculture,
show there was no intention on his part to vlo-
late the law when he placed a Columbia uni
yersty professor the bureau salary-rol
expert assistant; nor has the government been
defrauded i'll any way. And the matter Is one
that could easily have been adjusted within
the department without any scandal" or any
Of the entanglements that now enmesh the
Had the matter been called to the attention
of Secretary Wilson i'll the regular and proper
way what the chief chemist had done without
warrant Of law could have been done over
again Immediately in perfectly legal way
and no muddle or misunderstanding would have
followed
AS it was, three subordinates of Doctor
Wiley drew up formal charges against him and
filed them with Secretary Wilson, who III turn
presented them to President Taft at an open
cabinet meeting; they were referred to At
torney General Wickersham for opinion that
official, acting strictly as a legal adviser and
without any official knowledge of the facts
surrounding the incident or Of the practice OF
the agricultural department in such matters,
was forced under the law to render opinion
against the chief chemist-and then came the
charges that III his department Of justice
liberties have been taken with the law just
as in the bureau OF chemistry Hence all this
scandal
At the bottom of the whole affair is the
practice running through all the departments
apparently of allowing certain bureau heads and
other officers in charge of special work to have
practically their own way--to run things" as
they fit.
Given free hand almost any officer in the
public service gets to be good deal of an
autocrat--it is human nature. And when he
becomes such an autocrat jealousy and anmosity
are bred among those about him. and his every
act and watched with purpose to
get something on him.
1t is really very trivial thing that has
been got on Doctor Wiey-but it may result
in the government and the country losing his
valuable services and in the making of bad
blood in the Taft cabinet; perhaps it may
even lead to cabinet changes. The moral is that
nobody, whether in the government or in pri-
vate service, should be allowed to get bigger
than his job

SUBWAY SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.

1t was Inevitable that sooner or later the
board Of estimate and apportionnent-or ma
jority of it, any Way-Would come to the alto
gether logical conclusion that it would be alb
solutely impracticable, municipal folly run wild,
to turn over to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company the whole scheme OF subway extension
for construction and operation. The latest com
promise offer from the Interborough furnishes
basis for a final settlement of the contro-
yersy that will apparently prove satisfactory
to all interests involved-not forgetting the in
terest of the public whose money makes rapid
transit possible here i'll New York.

templated necessitates, Of course, changed at
ttude toward the proper solution of the problem
on the part of some members OF the board
Of estimate. And in this reported change of
view the people Of New York have cause for
self-congratulation " A wise may change
his mind, but fool never''-that it is proof
of the wisdom of certain members of the board
that in matter of such supreme Importance
as the provision of proper transit facilities for
the second largest city in the world they have
not been ruled by stubborn egotism or a
logged persistence i'll any one theory plan
or proposal for subway extension From the
very beginning of negotiations most Of the
members of the board of estimate and appor-
tionment have displayed an openmindness, a far
sightedness and a keen sense Of the business
principles involved in the problem before them
that has rarely been equalled by men holding
high positions in the public service.
Admittedly honorable and free from any
personal prejudice or desire for individual ex-
plotation, these men have labored earnestly
and laboriousy to reach a conclusion to be

and experienced in the matter of subway con-

After diligent search about the city
the detectives were unable to learn

had skipped out for parts unknown.
Detective Fitzpatrick was fortunate
enough to secure photograph of her,
and number of copies of it were
made and forwarded to the branches

She was first recognized in Cincin-

was found upon her person, and she
was released for the want of sufficient
evidence.
A secret service officer carrying
the widows photograph was sure he
had met her while on his way from
Washington to New York. He was
not quite certain, but was sure enough
to attempt to follow her for the pur-
pose Of learning her location. She
probably "tumbled' to the detective

did not affect to notice him, but man
aged, however, to give him the slip.

Funds to Eioht tuberculosis.


Based on reports from all parts OF
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis has Issued statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $S,000,OOO
spent in 1909. The largest item of ex-
pense in 1910 was for treatment In
sanatoria and hospitals, $11,376,500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $760,500, and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $3.50, 900. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1,75O,00O
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey OF
the years work is the increase in the
percentage of public money spent.
While in 1909 535 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds 62.6
per cent came from public appropria-
tons in 1910 The actual amount of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267, 900, or
more than double the amount from
this same source In 1909. This fact
indicates, the national association de-
clares, that anti-tuberculosis associa-
tons are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.

it was necessary to bring a new man
into the field, and / chose an elderly
gentleman who was then employed.
He was countryman born, and did
not have to act the part, as it was
perfectly natural to him. He ap-
peared simple in his ways, but was in
reality remarkably shrewd. The little
milliner might have been surprised
one morning to receive visit from
a country dressed old gentleman, and
she blinked her large brown eyes as
he entered her little shop. But her
lips assumed a business smile as she
said, "Be seated, sir"
The room was neatly furnished,
and there was a display of ready
made bonnets, flowers, etc. The door
of her little trimming room in the rear
stood open, and it was plainly seen
that the floor was Uttered with bits
of ribbon, clippings of velvet and
small remnants of silk and lace. The
old gentleman smiled pleasantly; the
woman gracefully sank into her chair.
She folded her hands in her lap and
inclined her head coquettishly to one
side and looked like polite inter-
rogation point. The old gentleman
explained that his daughter who lived
over in Jersey had asked him to pur-
chase nice bonnet for her, and as
he passed along the sidewalk he had
read her sign and just stepped in. He
told her that the novelty of a bonnet
making concern had always attracted
his attention and that he would like
to talk with her about her kind of
business.
"Of course / will tell you all about
it," she said good humoredly. IT guess
you will get tired of listening before
I get through"
She was good talker and appeared
to be woman Of refinement and edu-
cation as she sprattled along. She
said she had once been rich but had
been unfortunate; her husband had
died from disease and a young and
only daughter had been killed in a
railroad accident AS she talked
glibly she was all the while exhibiting
her stock in trade.
Here" said she, 'is a lovely bonnet
that l trimmed for a rich lady, but it
has not been called for. A fine look

only stave off the trouble for a
short time.
The good hearted southerner's SYM
pathy was not confined to words
alone. He went at once to her little
store and paid the $500 demanded by
the keeper and left her 500 besides
to relieve her immediate wants.
1t was only a few days following
this when Detective Fitzpatrick con-
cluded to enter the Widow Woods
place OF business and make thor
ough search. He had obtained some
new evidence In regard to her deal
ing with queer" money.
When he entered the suspected
place he discovered that 1t was nearly
empty. Everything of value had been
removed. A number Of cheap arti-
fetal flowers, bits of worn ribbon and
lace and empty bandboxes constituted
the stock. 1t was all appearance and
no value. The little room in the rear
of the place had been the Madam's
living quarters; 1t also was empty ex-
cept few tattered garments strewn
about.
What puzzled the detective most
was to account for the removal of the
goods without attracting his attention
The movements of the woman had
been carefully watched and the de-
tective had recognized the Carrondo-
lette street broker as he visited the
widows store, and the exit shortly
after of a man very much resembling
the stranger who had met the Widow
Wood in the cemetery on the occasion
OF her arrest 1t finally came to light
