The Public Be Pleased!

One conspicuous trait of the former unlamehteu
president of the New Haven road was his dislike
for publicity Not the great Vanderbilt IN MS
prime held more stouty to the view that railroad
is a private business and no greater concern Oh
the public than favorite milch COW owned by the
president of the road.
As part of the new era in the New Haven ailahs
Mr. Howard Elliott thus outlines his policy:
The right of the people to know what their rail-
roads are doing and how they doing II s the one
all important fact which transportation othcias
must appreciate nowadays. Furthermore, when IL
happens that the selling railroad accommoda-
tion is the only in the field there is almost a
double obligation on him TO be open and ABOVE
board.
AS a matter of fact, the foregoing is an accepted
commonplace of national business life to-day, ana no
intelligent railroad president in his senses wouid
dream Of pursuing any other method.
That the New Haven system persisted so long IN
running on the old public-be-damned plan is not
difficult TO explain The dodO and the dinosaHr un-
doubtedly lived on for centuries in certain peculiarly
favoring spots long after the world in general had
forgotten all about them.

SOME QUERIES FOR Mitchell
His Acts with Respect to the New
York Central Tracks Are Criticised.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Hon. John Purroy Mitchell is
right In the opinion expressed in his let
ter TO the chairman OF the executive COM
mittee OF the Citizens Municipal Com
mlttee that certain of his acts as a mem
Der OF the BOard OF Estimate and Appor-
tionment require explanation. Why did
he not as chairman OF the subcommittee
in charge OF the proposed changes on the
Hudson River waterfront demanded by
the New York Central Railroad Com
pany, obtain an opinion OF the Corpora
ton Counsel as TO the title OF the railroad
and OF the city TO the land affected by
the proposed agreement before he made
his report? Why did he announce at a
public meeting of that Subcommittee that
his committee had such an opinion and
that IL was to the effect that the railroad
owned the land which 1t occupied north
Of the 5Sth street freight yards, when in
fact his committee had no such opinion?
Why did he announce that the decision in
the injunction suit between the City Of
New York and the New York Central
Railroad had decided that the city could
not interfere with the railroad north OF
the 5Sth street freight yard, when the
opinion of the Corporation Counsel held
that that case did not affect those rights?
Why did he propose TO pay or allow to
the railroad about 100000 for rights
over land which the city already owned?
II he will kindly answer these questions
few more will be ready That sub

Vacations.

An athletic director, John j. Harvey, chooses the
present season as fit one for warning his country
men that the average makes mistake in tax
ing a vacation for the purpose Of reganing health
1t is not because Of the dangers Of drinking water
or milk. for that matter-that Mr.. Harvey regards
season at Podunck by -theSea or Eyrle View Crest
as a treacherous expedlent for Smith 1t is because
Smith insists upon trying to crowd into two or
three weeks the physical exercise that he should
have spread out year.
Excess in exercise Ostentation in expenditure
these are the arch enemies of vacation time. To
rack ones brain over ways Of amusing ones self
or ones friends, or over the raising of money TO
defray ones summer bills--isn't this shade worse
than rackng ones brain over the problems Of
everyday commerce? The simpler all the impedi-
menta and apparatus Of pleasurlng the better for
the men and women who are at this season crowd
ing outbound trains and steamers.
City life is overcomplicated, and rest means, II
ANYTHING smplihcatiOn Of human relations and a
reduction in the number of thin"s one has TO think
of: clothes being included in the list OF things.
Contact with the soil is great instrument in
recreation whether 1t take the form OF amateur
gardening or botanizng, mere walking, outdoor
games what not.
Sailing boat is an unmpeachable pastime for
such persons as know how to handle one without
risk TO fe as canoeing is to such as swim and take
out friends who can swim, too. Motoring roads
or I'm the water is well enough, though too mechan-
ica pastime to appeal to vacation spirit.

of a sail boats deck; horses and sail boats have

The Hungry and Thirsty Senate.

The Senate is always hungrier and thirstier than
the House OF Representatives. 1t always has a
keener scent for spos. Naturally it the Senate
which pounced upon the tempting opportunity ito
beat the civil service offered in the increase Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau staff about to be made
necessary by the passage Of an income tax law.
Several hundred new agents, deputy collectors and
inspectors will have to be appointed to help admin
lister the complicated provisions Of the income tax
section Of the tariff act The Senate Finance Com
mittee and the Democratic caucus therefore appro-
priated 81 100000 for additional salaries and slyly
authorized the appointment OF patriots to hold these
places without compliance with the conditions pre-
scribed" in the civil service laws
The tenure Of the appOintees is TO be two
years, and is therefore described as temporary"
But this in an ancient trick Before the two years
could expire Congress would mercifuy assume
that the incumbents had acquired all the quafca-
tons needful and would turn them in into the
classified service. That used to be done with ITEM

On the Trail of the "Rag- Baggers." l"

The Hon. Ross Appleton grand marshal Of the
Gaynor League and inventor Of the immortal phrase
"Tammany is a nickname" should turn his eagle eye
once more in the direction of the Citizens Municipal
Committee That obtuse and vicious organization
cannot get It through It's solid ivory dome Of thought
that so far as municipal elections are concerned
there Is no Tammany." 1t continues TO ask pledges
Of candidates for municipal Offices that they will not
accept Tammany nominations or Endorsements, ig-
noring Mr. Appleton's assurance that such pledges
can have no possible meaning.
What is to be done to the unfortunates who can
not grasp the fact that Tammany is only parochia
benevolent association operating in the single bor-
ough Of Manhattan? If Mayor GaynOr were still on
the bench we feel sure that Mr.. Appleton could get
some legal instrument from him that would hold
such "scamps" and "rag-bag citizens" for a while
But nowadays the Mayor is issuing only obtter dctd

Governor Martin H. Glynn. Rumors that Charles f.
Murphy and Wiskinke Donohue, Of the Ancient
Order of Tammany are to be put on the witness
stand by the Frawley committee and that several
tons Of Tammany soiled linen are to be washed in
public have scared him off. Albany just is no

has secured the attendance Of Colonel Sellers,

and there are other egibles in sight Why not send
a hurTy-up invitation to Colonel NJ. NJ Mulhall, to
take effect soon as he is released from his present

would fit completely into the situation. He would
