days ago Mr.. Heaiy resigned his deputy
commissionership and the resignation
was accepted. Yesterday Mar. Tom.
nancy resigned his chief clerkship and
his resignation also was accepted. Both
men resigned IA good standing.
Now the question OF the non- Tam
many ran-of-nline citizen is why Mr.
Healy and Mr.. Tommsney resigned?
Nothing has been proved against them,
according 10 the Tammany standard
Of jurisprudence. They are simply, In
effect, accused the one OF taking an
Illegal consideration for q public OfiOe
and the other Of acting as intermediary
Ia the transaction. They have not been
tried in court. They are presumably as
efficient in their duties as ever, IL ever.
Mr.. Healy probably up TO the day of
his resignation did just as much work
for the city as Immediately after his
appointment and likewise Mr. Tom
Nancy and IL matters not the slightest
III point Of the equity Of their tenures
that they probably did very little work
for the municipality, being doubtless
engaged in Richard Crokers avowed
practice Of working for their own pock-
cts all the time. Yet they have been
allowed TO resign. Was it because they
violated the first law OF political CRAFTS
manship, Thou shalt not be found
out?

Mr. Healy, incidentally Tammany dis

better 10 say that he was incidentally

that Office. Mr.. Tommaney was chief

could get out the most "modeTnistic
Jackets. The combinations OF colors
were in some cases gorgeous, In others
tragic.
Occasionally a jacket would be Gre

Jumping literature off into "colors"
is questionable, 1t would seem.
1t presupposes that readers are some
what foolish and go more by the eye
than by the whole head.
Some of them do. OF course. but as q
class readers of books are intelligent.
1t Is this verv fact which makes a good
book go" from the publishers stand
point.
If readers really were going to select
their reading according to its colOring,
the publishers should begin to think
about going into the coal business.
Even coal is turning blue these days.
aud as for breakfast foods, they make
noises!
Books by colors. foods by sounds.
America is becoming more interesting
every day. But all this has its draw
backs.
One OF the difficult things in life is
" see the other fellows viewpoint.
Evidently publishers are no exception.
To color books according to three
rigid classihcations is to forget the
home bookshelves.
One of the great charms of the book
case is the varied colora ton of vol
umeS.
Even interior decorators recognize
this. Often In homes which have been
decorated" for q special purpose one
will go up " bookcase to inspect a
neat row Of books. only to find the
volumes" dummy backs, and nothing
more.
Even in such cases, however, the bind
ingS are varied, not only in length and
breadth, but particularly in color. There
Will be plenty of standard reds and
greens but also there will be yellow,
lavender and 50 on.
This variety makes for interest. Sets
of books have a tendency to be too
uniform, especially II the covers are of
too light a tone. Nothing makes book
shelf look more splotchy than such q
set. Too vivid coloring, such as a GER
tain bright red. also is bad.
- r
We are just bit afraid OF three
colors and no more-red, so; green, so;
blue, SO. ''''''
Bookcase color would be saved. how
ever, If publishers would vie in this
manner as III other details of their art.
Thus, competitor would turn up his
nose at the magic OF green blue and
red and issue his books in cerise, orchid
and primrose yellow.
In the end perhaps bookcases would
be as good representation of the rain
bow as they are now with this added
feature, that colors would mean MOTH
ing at all except-color.
We insist that breakfast foods ought
to be silent and that book covers should
be merely that and nothing more.
