WHO WERE THEY?
PROBING expense accounts of committees nnd officials in tliU
Stato provoa to be a prickly business for those who start it.
The Thompson Committee will now go on with its work.
Meanwhile Gov. Whitman und his administration will tnku u turn
at explaining the $20,7G0.1G unitcmized, un-proratcd total cliurged to
tho Slato for "the movement of Gov. Charles S. Whitman and party
by special train, Albany, N. Y., to San Francisco and return, May
2G-Juno 20, 1916."
In an investigation of hotel and travelling expenses of legislative
committees and Stato officers the Thompson Coramitteo bills and the
.Whitman junket to tho San Francisco Exposition are going to figure
together in tho foreground. A protty contrast:
On tho one hand the hard work of a committee that has broken
tho hold of tho corporations on the Public Scrvico Commission, there
by saving the public millions of dollars.
On tho other a Gubernatorial excursion to California of small
profit to tho Stato or any one else
wcro lucky enough to bo in on it.
The difference will escape no one.
l'ublic opinion has already had its eircct upon the Legislature,
which docs not dare to interfere with the Thompson Committee in tho
. completion of it work. Hut the main question in connection with
tho hotel bill rumpus remains to be answered:
Who started it, and why?
Who tried to shunt the Thompson Committee on to a siding at
the particular moment when it is
tho methods of public utility corporations in this city ? What interest
could Gov. hitman or Speaker
vestigation?
Everybody knows that the corporations would be glad to see tho
Thompson Committee smothered in its hotel bills or in anything.clse
that would put nn cud to it.
Everybody knows that Tammany must bitterly resent what hap
pened to McCall at the hands' bf this same committee.
That corporation interests and Tammany vengeance formed an
entente to suppre?s Senator Thompson and his. efforts is coniprc
. hcnsiblc
But who were the strategists
were tho Governor of the State
doing in such councils?

RESTORE THE NIGHT SCHOOLS.
THE night schools of this' city havo helped hundreds of thousands
of hard working young people to the practical Icnowledgo
and training they needed to cam moro money and become
ilettcr, happior, more usoful citizens.
No part of tho school 6ystem docs more to put education in tho
way of those who can apply it directly; to tjjeir. advancement. Boys
and girls, young men and women who go to night schoorgo there in
cloud earnest. Tliey know tho value of tho thing tlioy seek. What
: iho city gives them they gtvo back later a millionfold in industry
and sound citizenship.
Yet insteod of wisely extending the night schools to an over
wider usefulness, city officials at the first cry of economy curtail tho
evening classes. This year elementary schools aro held only throo
nights a week instead of four; tho trade schools get only three nights
out of eight in two weeks, and classes in stenography, tyncwritin",
bookkeeping, civil service, domestic science, applied electricity and
structural drawing aro either closed or greatly reduced in number.
This week the Associated Evening High School Alumni of
Greater New York ally themselves with S50.000 night school pupils
in a campaign to restore tho night school system to its full efficiency.
The' Aldermen aro asked for a revenue bond issue to carry on the
night schools. Petitions in tho interest of the cause will he circu
' lated in all the borougliB.
Every taxpayer and citizen should sign. The city can afford
money for tho night schools. It cannot afford to cheat" its own best
interests by skimping them.
