Governor Miller's Way.

Governor MILLER has dropped ten
inch shell among his most incessant
and violent critics. They have been
brazenly charging that he was making
his rapid transit law for the benefit of
investors or gamblers in watered
traction securities. His amendments

the transit systems are going to be
appraised and taken over on q basis
that will put no value at all into any
security that is worthless and will
compel a close price even on proper
ties that have actual value under
normal conditions, including five
cent fare.
The cheap politicians who fought
Governor MILLER on the false issue
that he was serving the rapid transit

Seven Members Are Enough.

Quitting the Board Of Education
after twenty years Of service, FRANK
D. WILsEY criticises that body for
drifting, for being opportunistic, for
having no clear conception Of its pow
ers and functions and for partisan
ship. Mr.. WILsEY may be right In
his Indictment of the board, but he Is
wrong when he thinks that the cure
for the evils would be the enlarge
ment Of the body from seven men,
bers to nineteen, as is proposed at
Albany.
The Board Of Education was re-
duced from forty-six to seven because
the larger membership made 1t un-
wieldy and almost useless. IL 1t has
failed in its present form it Is not
because of the smallness of numbers
but because Of the incapability of the
controlling members
A directorate cannot be a success,
whether II has three, thirty, or 300
members, II those members do not
understand the business they get to-
gether to consider or II they are con-
trolled by politics. With seven quail
fled and independent men and women,
or even five, the Board of Education
would progress. But the present
board is the creation of a politician
whose public utterances have shown
that he is years behind the times in
educational matters.
The election of an intelligent Mayor
would solve the problem about which
Mr.. WLsEY complains Another way
Of going about IL would be to take
the appointing power away from the
Mayor, as the Robinson bill proposes.
But that bill is wrong wherein 1t en-
larges the membership Of the board
to nineteen.

Christian Science.
Mr.. Chesterton's Criticism Declared
to Be Both Right and Wrong.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Mr..
Chesterton was right in one particular
at least in his remarks regarding Chris
tian Science on Sunday evening, March
81. as reported in TEE NEW YonK HER
AID. namely, that IL IL q ''very extreme
reaction against materialism." for
Christian Science is pure ideallsm
which conceives of God and IT'S creation
as spiritual. perfect and eternal.
Ills reasoning Is not no conclusive,
however, when he says that this religion
has swept away tho bounds OF reason.
Many believe, on the contrary, that It
has restored reason through presenting
rational and dernonstrable religion,
applicable 10 all the problems of every
day life.
But perhaps after all Mr.. Chesterton
was indulsing In his usual paradoxical
form of speech. Anyhow. IL is undoubt-
edly true that many of his listeners and
your readers viii regret that he ehouid
use his unusual talent 10 destroy Chris
tian faith. OF which the world just now
Is so much in need.

Billy Sunday and Man O. War.

When BILLY SUNDAY, the evangelist,
was a professional bali player on the
Chicago team under the captaincy of
his brother-in-law, ADRIAN @. ANsoN.
he was famous for his speed in the
field and on the bases. He was a ten
second man for the hundred yards,
and whenever he poised at first base
Tor a steal of second he was the en-
bodiment Of alertness and agility. As
long as he remained in the game his
principal asset was speed.
As a preacher Dr. SUNDAY has EN-
ployed methods peculiarly his own.
The dash shown on the bah field has
manifested itself In what has been
called pep" by some and punch by
others. That he is in as good physi-
cal condition at the present time as
when he was the only rival King
KELLY had IN the stealing OF bases
all who have seen him in the pulpit
or on the platform can testify.
Speed with billy SUNDAY has al
ways had business value. II is a
quality which long ago prompted
some of his admirers to pay n tribute
TO him, and one OF the most reliable
PAGERS racing on Eastern tracks last
year was named In his honor Tn
his baseball days DIR. SUNDAY, like
other ball players, frequently visited
the race course. He took keen pleas
ure in the performances OF the turf
stars of the day. and after he dc
serted the ball field for the pulpit he
always had time to talk Of the horses
and their performances.
One Of the first to ask permission
10 inspect the great thoroughbred
Man o. War in his new home In Ken
tucky was the evangelist. He had
never seen the champion Of the turf
in action, but in common with other
citizens OF the United States he be-
lieved Man o War surpassed all other
thoroughbreds this country has pro-
duced TO date. Thus Il came about
that Dr. SUNDAY made a special trip
to Lexington last Monday. After

That One Precious Hour.

The Chicago murderer who objects
to being executed at s A. NJ, daylight
saving time, his sentence having been
pronounced under standard time, is
within his rights. The jail officials
have acted justly in postponing the
end until 8 by the clock.
But what fuss the condemned,
who probably never before gave seri-
Gus thought to the fight of the hours,
makes over sixty brief minutesl He
undoubtedly wasted or spent evilly
thousands of hours. This hour at
issue is only important to him because
it is the last one he will ever have.
There are countless men in the
world like the Chicago prisoner. The
hours they have are neglected, but
they would be indignant IL somebody
tried TO take that one last hour from
them. II you were to arouse the loaf
ers on the park benches. the fellows
who are browsing away an afternoon
at the motion pictures or the lads
who are at the ball game when they
should be in the shop, and convince
them that they had just sixty min
utes to live, there might be some dis
plays of activity by individuals whose
families cannot make them work.
A man would be much more COM
portable If at the end of his life he
felt that he could easily afford the
loss Of an hour. having taken fun adj
vantage of the past years.

Choral Music.
Cause S!pf and Remedy for Seeming
Tack of Public Interest.

To THn New YoRx HERALD: The doc
tor having pronounced his Mtal dag
nosis, may a mere patient interJect a
word or two OF comment In reference
to the analysss you printed OF the Ills
Of and the present taste for choral music
in this ctty?
Tho truth OF tho matter is this the
mere fact that several thousand persons
paid from rs cents to So a ticket 10 at
tend the recent music festival at the
Manhattan Opera House proves that
there are at least that many persons
in this city who like TO hear choral
music. The fact that several thousand
more persons attend the weekly meet
ings of the various choral societies Is
further evidence that here liz desire
OH the part of at least some of our
people to participate in the study of
choral works of Classical as well as
modern origin.
The writer OF this letter is firmly con-
vinced that were our choral bodies in
position to put on ever the older ora
torios with at least from 500 to 1000
singers in the chorus they would never
be confronted with the problem of nlling
the house. 1t is not so much cues
ton of appreciation or choral music but
the more difficult one of where to OBJ
tain the requisite number OF voices.
Your musical reviewer mentions the
need of spending considerable sums for
advertising in order to attract public at
tentlon. DO the baseball clubs and
prize fight promoters, for example. spend
much money for advertising? If it is
true that the public Is not deeply in
terested in choral music could this sit
uation not be greatly improved were
with respect to this subject as they are
with respect TO the aforementioned
sports? Surely music has a more oul-
tural appeal than either OF these. While
it might be said that the public wants
to read about sports. isn't it true that
it would also read about music if pre-
sented in equally attractive form? So
why not give music a similar chance?
1t is necessary to get at the mass OF
the people themselves, teaching them to
read from notes and by gradual and In
teresting stages Of development enabling
them to perform the works of the great
masters. This is the mission OF the
Peoples Choral Union and Singing
Glasses and has been carried on without
financial aid of financiers or the moral
support OF the newspapers for the last
twenty-nine years. Where we now have
hundreds we could and would have thou
sands were our movement better known
to the public at large.

City College Pensions.

The disappearance Of the excise
system with its large annual fund
has created a condition of hardship
at the College OF the City Of New
York which should be remedted at
once. The retired professors and tu-
tors have not received their pensions
since January. In some instances
actual distress has resulted. The
funds were provided out Of the excise
moneys; then the city kept up the in
stslments by floating revenue bonds :
but this slow and uncertain method
has stopped, causing a crisis.
At no time have there been more
than ten Of these veteran teachers
drawing the public bounty, and the
total sum involved Is negligible from
the public point of view. But to the
men themselves the situation Is seri-
GUS and to the city a breakdown Of
the pension system means a bad
handicap in keeping the faculty up
to standard. Moreover, tne good 1alrn
of the city is pledged to its pension
ers, and In honor Its contracts with
them must be kept.
A bill has passed the Legislature
which meets tho immediate need and
besides establishes contributors
pension plan for the college, the teach
ing staff giving annually a percentage
of their salaries and the city supple
menting It. This has been worked
out on a sound actuarial basis and
provides for the future. This meas
ure Is in line with justice and sound
management 1t should be enacted
before the end OF the session.
