wanted cash or nothing, and II tho

Strange questions? ..
They are raised by the develop
ments of the Morse -Daugherty feud.
The charges and counter-charges fly
thick and fast. Interesting letters
and documents, long hidden from
public view. suddenly appear in
print and are read in Senate de-
bate. Stories that cannot be printed
circulate about Capitol corridors.
And Morse is under indictment on
charges pressed by the Department
Of Justice, Of which Daugherty, as
Attorney General, is the official
head. A banker and financier pros
ecuted by his erstwhile lawyer, now
risen to eminence and power! Surely
times do change!

Transit Action, al Least.

The Board of Estimate may squawk
It's rude defiance OF Governor MILLER
but his speech OF last week has at
least spurred II TO some action on
the Fourteenth street subway con
tracts. After having held up these
important matters for nearly year
the board has sent the contracts back
TO the Transit Commission with a
request that new bids for the mate
rails be asked.
The Transit Commission, which
has a regard for the public interest
such as is completely absent in the
Board Of Estimate, will not bubble
or delay, as the Board OF Estimate
has done, but will readvertise the con-
tract. II is quite possible that the
necessary materials may now be
bought at lower prices than obtained
last summer; but even II the city
should save a little money in that d.
rection the saving Will not compen-
5dlt lOt lbt AOrO VI iUiti tSt WI 'hN
city's investment and the delay in
completing an important subway i'm.
provement. IF the new bids should
be higher, then the Board of Estimate
win have been responsible not only
for the delay In construction but for
the added cost.
The temper of HYLAN and his as
sociates in the Board OF Estimate in
their dealings with the Transit Com
mission Is bad. They exhibit no con
sideration for the law or the comfort
OF the citizens. The amenities of Off
cial life are utterly lacking and the
only spirit OF the board is rage at the
exposure by the Governor OF their
treatment of the public.
But. thanks to NATHAN l.. MILLER
something Is by way Of being done.
