THE SUPERIOR MR. WHITRIDGE.
THE FUTILK CDN'PUCT of public affmirs jftrn the nerves of
Presideot Whitridge of the Third Avenue Railway beyond i ll
bearing. After considerable experience, Mr. Whitridgo saya
be finds public officiate in general and Public Service Commissioner!
la particular painfully email potatoea. As for tho Interstate Com
serce Commission, that body has shown its niter imbecility by pro
posing to value tho railroads, a task which Mr. Whitridgo ia sure will
waste millions npn "as senseless) a folly as any scheme of John Law's
ar of Cagliostro's." Mr. Wbitridga modestly recalls in passing that in
all hit controversies with the authoritios he has invariably been right
We believe it was that accomplished New England lady, the late
Margaret Poller, who usod to aay that ahe "knew all the people worth
knowing in America and found no intellect comparable with hor
own." A lonely eminence, requiring patience and forbearance. Mr.
Whitridgo ia a highly efficient organiser and executive, with much
onsequent conceit and an inveterate desire to be let alone in anything
he sees fit to do. We hope he will try to bear with tho stupid publio
which haa made np its mind in its stupid way to get an inkling of its
own interests in the belief that a little information on the subject will
be cheap at any prioe.
For example, Naw Yorkers have a notion that a few millions
pent soma years since on knowledge which might have saved them
the loss of $800,000,000 in tha Ryanisation of their atreet railways
would have been a sound investment lit the same way tha country
at large ia now determined to know more about its railroads, Including
what they are worth for other purposes than that of high finance.
Mr. W'hitridge says knowledge ia expensive. Lack of it is ruinous.

THE SLIT SKIRT AND ITS KIND.
WHETHER Richmond, Va., ia or ia not "a moat illiberal city
because it fined a woman twenty-five dollars for wearing
a alit skirt, the fact remains that never in its history has
this oountry seen suoh shameless aberrations of female dreaa. The
peek-a-boo shirtwaist of a few yean ago waa a nun's cloak compared
with the transparencies, slits and lattice work effects of to-day. From
all directions coma daily reports of fresh atylea that have scandalised
uyors and blocked traffic.
Tha singular thing about ft all is thai this demoralization of
kt appeara at a moment when tha country ia in a mood at intone
oral uplift Never has there been severer handling of moral prob
lems, nor more militant demonstrations against vice. And yet, while
we are suppressing immorality and protecting and elevating woman
aa hard as ever we know how, behold ahe suddenly saunters forth in
garb that would startle Fiji Islander. Verily, original sin is a
aster of resource.
Why Not?

WHAT ABOUT THE BULGARS NOW?
ARE THE BULGARS, to whom Christendom has looked for a
judgment upon tha "unspeakable Turk," growing "unspeak
1 able" in their turn? Repeated rumors of atrocities culmi
nate in a horrible story of the massacre of 80,000 Mussulmans by
Bulgarian troops at Doivan. If we are to believe the reporta, fire,
word and crucifixion attend Bulgarian deeds as barbarous aa any
ater done in the name of Allah.
Apparently once started, these Balkan peoples cannot stop fight
ing. From soldiers fighting for home and country they easily become
marauders. Only a chance push or two is needed to set them war
ring among themselves and throw the whole Balkan situation into
eenfusion thrice confounded.
The Greeks had a famous story of a hero who sewed dragons'
teeth and waa embarrassed to see hundreds of fierce, armed warriors
pring straightway from the ground before him. But, having a lady
to advise him, the hero threw a stone into the crowd. Whereupon
the one hit turned upon his neighbor, the latter laid it to somebody

Song of a Summer Boarder.
OW dear to my heart Is tbat city apartment
That two-by-four flat that I once thought so small:
The Icebox, the couch and the deep, snowy bathtub,
The hot and cold water, the lift In tho hall.
The sweet kitchenette, with Its faithful dumbwaiter.
The wide, roomy closets, alz lights In the wall;
The telephone, mall chute, the fleet, smiling bellboys
Those precloua home comforts I long for them all!
What a charming trip a husband and wife might take around
world If only they could start In opposite directions.
