The bill now before the Assembly
looking to the requirement Of a license
by all spectators In theatre tickets
seems nm earnest and effective attempt
to free the theatregoing public OF this
nuisance. The license which ticket
spectators are required to buy under
the new measure IN practically prohibit
tive The sum OF $3.50. to he paid by the
Spectator for every theatre whose
tickets are to he on sale, would end the
existence Of all but few Of these ell
terprlses.
The new measure thus looks to the
relief Of the public by ending the ex-
istence Of practically all the specula-
tors. It Ii profitable to these middle
men tn deal In tickets only when they
sell those Of every theatre. Yet to pay
the required sum for license for every
theatre would he beyond the resources
of the ticket agencies. even considering
the increased price ut which they sell
the tickets. Any sincere effort to abol-
ish the spectators ought to be AS well
come to the managers as to the public.
They undeniably are In some degree re-
sponsible for the present unwillingncSs
Of the public to invest its money IN
theatre tickets.

THE VAN TUYL BANNING BILL.
The Absurd Error Pointed Out by "Ths
SUM- Il 20 Br Corrected.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir: The
Interesting editorial article In to-day's
Sun on the revision or the banking .aN
by the Van Tuyl commiss on which lat
ter Is now pending before the Legislature,
attracted added attention because II
pointed out an absurd wording OF Section
l2s Of Article III and Section 2l3 %
Article ". which have to do with pro-
ceedings at annual meetings OF directors
and the election Of officers OF banks and
trust companies.
For the Information OF your readers I
wish TO say that the provisions critters ~
have been amended 30 as TO read that the
directors at such meetings shall ELECT a
pre- sident from their own number, a vice
quired by the bylaws to be elected an
nually."
In the printing and reprinting OF so
lengthy a bill II IL very difficult to ellmi-
nate entirely typographical and steno
graphic errors. The one to which you
called attention resulted from the trans
position Of the words from their own
number" II was Immediately discovered
and arrangements made to have II cor
rected when the bill was reprinted. A
number OF other small typogra nhical err
rors have been discovered In the reprint
OF the legislative bill, and will be cor
rected. Considering the length of the bill
and the microscopic scrutiny to which II
has been subjected II In really surprising
that more errors have not been found.

The goods are packed one-nalf dozen

In the Dsys Of John Doe.

Ia there any truth In the report.
printed In the World. that the members
of the Grand Jury panel rave formed
among themselves an unofficial associa-
tlOn whose purpose Is to conduct inres-
LEGATIONS into whatever may interest
them. backing up their unauthorized In.
Quiries by using the names Of grand
Jurors actually In service to cOerce the
subjects Of their inquisitiOns?
That such a scheme should he seri-
ously contemplated by men OF the as
sumed intelligence and good sense Of
grand Jurors seems Incredible: yet In
these days Of John Does supremacy
even the widest suggestions cannot he
rejected as impossible.
District Attorney WHITMAN would

This hour of the morning Is the
darkest. drearest and coolest OF the

work that they could get TO do, The
tailoring man generally goes to work
about Z. What can these poor men do
between the time they must get out"
and the time when there Ii any work to
do. except get cold or wet again?
To what use are the municipal lodging
houses put after 80 o'clock a, NJ? II
the sheitering OF the poor from the cold

secondary to other use?
II the poor man, after his few hours
sleep. gets something to do at the usual
hour when work begins. IL he. after hav-
Ing wandered around for several hours In

work for himself or anybody else?
Who has nude these rules that require

II Is a pity that the United States
Senate should magnify the very post
prandial babblings Of Ambassador WAL
TER HINFs PAGE into an incident"
The speech was made impromptu, late
1t night. to gathering Of men who
had been dining well. 1t was received
with shouts Of laughter. The news
papers reported II only IN the most cas-
bal way. They evidently regarded It
IL wholly non-diplomntic. unauthOrita-
i've, negligible. 1t was In n way 10
lie unechOed when Senator CHAMBER
tAIN unhrppily dlscerned some pOliti-
cal Significance In Il and chilled for the
text. chapter and verse.
MI. PAGE assevprates thrt ut the
worst he was guilty only Of q feeble
pleasantly and that his hearers under
stood him In no other way. The speech
win never he hurled at the head Of a
future Secretary Of State In the crisis

rs one more trife going to show that

The acute sensitlveness. the unwinking

and latorious growth. the products Of

Health q Purcha sable Commodity


II has been frequently pointed out
in these columns that the health Of u
community depends on the intelligence
81 its members and upon their willing
eess to expend the needed sums for the
proper execution Of sanitary measures.
we have shown that the average legis-
iator. who would spend thousands for
improving navigation OF furtherlnG
Jrade or protecting the health Of
animals, winces when he is called upon
% vote money for drainage. for fltra-
tlOn plants, for food inspection or for
vaccination. The Kansas Legislature,
for example. refused two years ago 10
vote money for laboratory for the
manufacture of diphtheria antitOxin,
but granted an appropriation for the
sas nufacture Of an antidOte to hu..
Email the amount Of money spent for
lealth insurance Is when compared to
that spent for Insurance of property.
A recent demonstration Of the profit
able nature of investment In sanitary
work IL offered by the last annual re-
bort Of the Bureau Of Health for the
philippine Islands, which has been for
ixany years under the efficient manag
.n,eht Of DIR. VICTOR G. IIEisrR and
which had a reasonable financial sup

Grave peril exists because OF the free
dom OF large numbers Of the feeble
minded. the report OF the State Board OF
Charities says.--THE Sun.
Why a grave peril? Aren't most OF
these simple minded folk harmless +?
IL II sign OF the Increased intelligence
Of the States or Of the Increased selfish
ness OF private persons that so many
more OF the feeble minded are shut up
and taken care OF in State institut ons?
Formerly every village had its idiot" :
he never injured anybody and he was
kindly cared for by his relatives
Plenty Of people not quite right in their
upper story" were at large. Not every
body can have the majestic brain Of a
soclo.ogist and magazine upllfter. II is
not the feeble minded whom society has
most or much to dread. Just at present
the tendency Is to treat ITEM as a kind
OF Inferior animal to whom in their
infinite wisdom boards and bureaucrats
can play Con. Doubtless a more modest
and a humaner frame Of mind will
supersede the present passion for
sta ndard.zing" human nature and being
wiser than the Creator.
