GOOD FOR BATAVIA

CPEAKING for Batavia, county seat Of Senator
- John Knights bSilwick, Corporation Counsel
LaSeur said of the Governors transit programme:
This is another Boston Tea Party with the
municipalities playing the role OF the Colonies
so far as the autOcratic and revolutionary leg
islaton is concerned. Batavia is opposed to
the Transit Bill in its present shape. 1t means
taxation without representation"
Perhaps New York City has been trifle too
egotiStical in believing that it must shoulder the
whole burden of opposition Gov. Millers special
Transit Board of three members is Of direct con-
Germ only to this city. But the general provisions
of the Miller programme, with its denial of the prn
ciple of local self-government and its autocratic
power over franchise contractsis Of prime interest
to every upstate city.
Yesterdays conference of Corporation Counsels
was decidedly encouraging. The sentiments ex-
pressed can hardly fail TO have effect on upstate
legislators. What Corporation Counsel Laseur says
In behalf of Batavia will have a great deal more
weight with Senator Knight than the eloquence Of
the SPECIAL counsel of the metropolis.

them? Not that that dllDdyS makes
them better fitted to rear them than
does a facile gift for creating atmos-
phere OF certain sort make a true
story writer Of one. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the institutional child
does not thrive as does the home
reared one. So true has 1t been
proved that one well known child
specialist puts the former in a class
by itself; less Is expected Of 1t in
development than of the latter.
When it comes down to the cruX
OF the matter. the home is rhe unit OF
society.
A marriage that cannot stand the
test of propinquity can scarcely be
called a complete one. Some ele-
ment of attraction essential to real
marriage must be lacking. Witness
the happy marriages that have en-
dured years under one roof. Having
been afforded a view OF a photograph
OF the parties to some of these de-
natured marriages, one is tempted to
hazard the opinion that one OF said
contracting parties realized that dis
! tance was likely to lend enchantment
and that the proposal to live sepu-
! rately came from the man in the
! case!
Every woman who has brought a
| child into this world, who Is endeav-
| oring to direct it's interests and ener-
| gies Alright, feels That she is just as
surely working at her masterpiece as
those who ply their lesser arts, and
that her opportunities to attain are as
great! MURIEL NJ MITCHELL.

A HIGH SCORE. FOR THE LAW.

THE year is still young and both Robert P Brin-
i dell and John T. Hettrck have been convicted
after fair trial with able defense.
The Bhndel verdict would have been incon-
elusive without the verdict in the case OF Hettrick
and his three co-defendants
What Brindell did to labor in the building indus
try Hettrick did on the side of the contractors.
Between them they built up a system of two
headed graft that bled workers and employers alike.
They kept stranglehold on great industry at
4 time when that industry was the one thing that
could relieve an unprecedented crisis.
The Lockwood committee under the guidance of
Samuel Untenmyer, set out to find some Of the con-
ctions underlying the housing shortage.

a leg trying to wrest St. Martin from

been heralded to the little colony, as
he was nearly a year on the way.
There was an official welcome when
he arrived. He established the fact,
he was Governor and never let ady

Autocratic, a religious enthusiast,
the company had to hold him down

He literally put the town on the

persons here, a large proportion OF

| Gov. Stuyvesant in making his city
had the streets paved. He completed
! the church and built sChoolhouse.
There was a brewery and he imposed

who took out license TO build better
places for the carrying on OF their
business.

Fares and Rents.

To the Editor Of The Evening World:
reply to 'Yonkers," never
claimed an increased fare would re-
duce rents in Yonkers.
But in New York City! Yes, de-
cidedly so, for 1t would decrease tax
alton, the chief cause of high rents.
From its subway investment the city
receives no incomey but money has
to be paid out of the city treasury
to pay the interest on the bonds. A
definite loss to taxpayers right there,
which makes a scent fare a snare
and a delusion. Further, we read in
the papers, 1.-THE Board of Estimate
appropriates $500, 900 to run the cars
on Staten Island" The same for
Williamsburg Bridge.
The huge sums of money the Board
of Estimate have appropriated from
the taxpayers pocket to ensnare and
delude the public on the pretense OF
giving a scent fare were Intended
| Tor better purposes-namely the Po-
| lice, Fire and School Departments.
Let the fare be increased, not only
TO wipe out the city debt but also tc
give the investors, who made reaI
rapid transit possible, their just due
Civic pride tells me we had before
the war and will have, after an in
creased fare, the best and cheapest
transportation in the world.
