To the Elitor Of The Evening World
To the virtues OF masculine beings
Each woman applies her own test,
So. while others mere beauties are
praising,
/ study his biceps and chest
Some choose man wise and saga
cious,
And melt at the glance OF his eye:
warm to an aspect pugnacious,
And all other types l pass by.
The drift OF his hair from the fore
head,
Or its color some women may thrill,
But the thrust OF the chin from the
collar
Ny heart with wild rapture can
thrill
There are white men and black men
and brown men;
There are good men and bad men,
/ know;
There are rough men and bandboxy
town-men,
You can find them wherever you 90.
with these other types I've no quarrel
They all have their use, it may be,
But q man who can deal with the
landlord,
For me!

TO CITIZENS OF
GREATER NEW YORK:

of the settlement of It's own traction affairs
It is YOUR fight
Your municipal officials and your representatives
in The Legislature who defend the city on his issue
cannot see it through without your help.
IT IS NOT A CONTEST THAT CAN BE
FOUGHT OUT AND DECIDED IN YOUR
FAVOR WHILE YOU SIT BY AND SAY
NOTHING
The whole principle of municipal home rule
preSupposes strong majority of citizens who are
actively interested in their municipal concerns.
You, the citizens of Greater New York, have not
yet spoken as you are entitled to speak and as you
ought to speak on this question.
If you fail TO speak, Gov Miller can repeat with
reason that municipal home rule is "loose talk"
and myth, since the s,5oo,ooo people in this great
community for which home nle is claimed have
not spirit enough to give It popular support.
Don't leave to public servants and newspapers a
task that cannot be performed without your aid.
Bh, many OF you will ask, what can we do?
HERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO:
u You can individually wrre or telegraph 10
your Assembyman and Senator In tie State Legis-
Iaiure.
IT, in either case, he is Democrat tell him you are
behind him TO he last ditch in defending municipal
home rule.
Uhs is a Republican tell him you regard his duty
10 uphold This chyS right 10 a Ooiee in its Ocn bde-
lion affairs as paramount 10 party obligations, and
ihdi you expect him TO act and cote accordingly.

calls for Relief


To Uhe Editor Of The Evening World:
would like to call your attention
to the fact that during the period OF
the war the barber industry, from the
supply houses to the boss BARRIERS
themselves, raised the cost OF every
thing on various occasions, and even
went so far as to hint at tho dollar
hair cut, &C.
I believe that II you will iuvcsti-
gate this matter you will find that
inasmuch as they were ready to ac-
cept the raise, they should be ready
at this time to reduce their prices
especially when every industry is do
ing IL
Up to now they haven't volun-
tariiy reduced any prices, and l be-
lieve that unless you take some steps
10 force them to recognize the jus
tice OF O. reduction, they will never
see ft 10 do 1t themselves.
Lower prices certainly would bt
q. great relief to the average man.

Gov. MIIIer's Attitudes.


10 ths Editor Of The Evening World;
In outlining his programme for the
relief OF the transit situation in this
city, Gov Miller states that the Pub
lie Service Commission should be en-
powered to prescribe temporary in
creases in rates pending a hearing
and determination. Evidently the
Governor believes, like the subway
sun, that the increased cost Of oper-
alton warrants an increase in fares.
Strangely, the Governors IDEAS in
this matter are in direct contrast to
his answer to the requests of various
State Departments for budgetary in
Creases for their employees, whose
basic salaries are the same as In 1914.
Mr. Miller states that he will permit
no salary increases for the next fiscal
year, because OF the downward trend
OF tho cost OF living. This, in spite
OF the fact that the Legislature re
duCed the salaries last year by ehmi
mating the 10 per cent. bonus granted
10 meet the increased cost Of living
during the war
Thus, we have Gov. Miller's attitude
in dealing with capital In one case
and with labor in the other
Perhaps we shall see more Of Mr
Miller's suIbserviency to the will OF
The money powers

10 the Edtog uf The lhening World;
The most important local question
to-day is-the scent fare. How does
