If by any chanie Mr. Mitten can put his plans ncroR ue shall hear these speculators insisting on the rights of vested capital to its dividends on the face value of the securities in which it has been placed On the basis of last week s sales this will mean that ?20 must receive dividends on $50 in the name of a holy contract ! Mr Mitten will not look after the interests of the city, ne is not hired to do that. If be makes anv concessions thev will have (0 be forced from him by the Mayor and his associates in the Cltv Hall. He is asking for higher fares so that he may continue to earn dividends, and lie has graciouslv said that those who do not vvih to pav the higher fare may walk. Hut the rest of us should not forget that he wants those higher fires so that the men who bought P. H. T. stock last week for from $16 to $20 a share ma.v receive dividends on f.V) nnd so that the holders of the securities of the underlying companies may continue to receive their similarly excessive divi dends. Under the circumstances it will be difficult to find any disinterested per son favorable to an increase in fares unless it is accompanied by the guar antee of great improvement in the service. The Mayor's commission, in discuss ing this phase of the problem, suggested that there should be no Increase in fares without an agreement by (he P. H. 'r. to cease the payment of dividends for the period during which the increase should prevail, so that (he contributions for improvement in the service might come equally from the public and from the shareholders. If this arrangemeut cannot be made without forcing the P. Tl. T. Into the bands of receive the sooner the facta are faced the better for all concerned. But unless there is a firm and definite policy In the City Hall Mr. Mitten may be. able to get away with his plan and the pwple jyULUK1 for tears to Evening public come with the excessive charges that Jiavc grown out of a conscienceless ex ploitation of the street railway fran chises in thli city. The people look to Mr. Moore for protection. They expect him to defend the right of the city to have' a control ling voice In the fixing of fares and In the lajlng out of new lines. Hut be cannot do this so long as he allowfl Mr. Mitten to take the Initiative and to put him nnd his associates on the defensive. Itt must carry the war into the heart of the transit situation Itself and by a definite constructive program challenge the P. It.

THE Settlement Music School at 416 Queen street is another institution which Is doing a great work for music! among those who are not able to enlnv the advantages necessary to its fullest appreciation.

Mr. Grolle interested Mrs IMward O R.ik, Mrs. S 8. Fels and others in his plan, with the result that a large and flourishing school Is now in existence. The handsome building which is the home of the school was the gift of Mrs Hok, in memory of her mother, and in it the best Instruction is given to young Piiiuriiia v wuiiimiii liners. in ntn cases being so "nominal" as to amount to virtually nothing. Music Is brnneht bv the Settlement Music School within the reach of all who want it. TUB school, however, plays another and perhaps equally Important part in that it Is a kind of neighborhood center.
