ENFORCEMENT OF LA W IN NE W
YORK.
New York city is having a novel ex
perience in the enforcement of the lawB
enacted for its government. Mr. Theo
dore Rosevelt is distinguishing himself
as president of the police commission,
in a way unexpected by everybody and
startling to the violator of law. Better
that the present city administration
should be turned out becanbe it en
forced the law than that it succeed in
violating them.
.He is undertaking the enforcement
of the law not because the law is espe
cially in harmony with his private
views, but because he is sworn to en
force the law. Such a man has the
requisite qualifications of a ruler; and
New York city is a splendid opportunity
lor the exhibition of bis excellent quali
fications. His idea is that if the people
df i not desire the enforcement of the
laWs they have enacted, they should re
peal them or dispense with his services.
The lesson, which New York ib now
learning, is one which the people of the
United States everywhere need to learn ;
governments, and particularly city gov
ernments, are wont to enact laws which
are enacted to appease enthusiasts, but
are not intended to be enforced ; this
custom has become so general that
statute books and ordinance records are
disregarded and so entirely over looked
by executive officers sworn to enforce
.tnem, that their existence is unknown
to the public generally ; or if known are
looked upon with contempt. The habit
lias a tendency to bring all law into
contempt; the violation of one statute
with impunity tempts the offender to
the violation of others, and leaves very
uncertain where the line between right
and wrong lies; in other words, it leaves
the fixing of that line to the officers;
this in turn results, as in New York
city to a very great extent and in other
eities to a less extent, in the system of
blackmail under which crime thieves
and police officers become rich.
Mr. Koievelt believes that' it is his
duty to encorce the laws as he finds
them ; the result will be, no doubt, that
many impracticable laws will be re
pealed, others will be amended to con
firm to the real necessities of good gov
ernment and the welfare of the people
and, if Mr. Rosevelt is continued in
office, New York city will be the best,
instead as heretofore, the worst gov
erned city in America. The controversy
there now is not whether saloons shall
be closed on Sunday or remain open,
but whether the law shall remain a law
or shall be abrogated by officers sworn
to uphold it.
The enforcement of the laws of Oregon
on the same theory as that adopted by
Mr. Rosevelt in New York, would
astonish many, but it would be moat
salutary in its ultimate effect. We eug
gest that some of our state and county
officers try the experiment; they would
at least cause the next legislature to do
some beneficial repealing.
OUR SECRETARY OF STATE.
Mr. Kincaid was nominated and
elected upon representations that he
would correct many of the abuses which
have crept into the administration of
the office for which he was a candidate.
He claimed and way represented by his
friends to be an economist, a man of in
tegrity and of good judgment. We will
not accuse him of obtaining money
tinder falee pretenses, but we are free to
criticise his administration. His first
work after entering his office was to ex
amine the fee law and ascertain where
a possible addition to his income could
be made ; among other improvements in
thia line, as we are informed, he claimed
the right to charge $2 for attaching the
seal of the state to a state deed, although
the law provides that upon payment of
'. $1.25 for the land and the fulfillment of
certain provisions of the law the pur
chaser shall be entitled to a deed ; here
tofore the deed has been delivered upon
fulfilling the conditions, bat now the
purchaser must pay Mr. Kincaid $2 or
go without a deed. Mr. Kincaid has
pronounced himself a greater constitu
tional lawyer than the attorney-general,
bas ignored the latter 'e advice, employed
other counsel and carried to the supreme
court the question as to the right of the
rai'road commissioners to their pay, and
the supreme court on Monday rebuked
his pretended wisdom and commanded
. him to draw warrants for the salaries as
provided by the legislature.' The con
stitution of the state provides that the
secretary of state shall receive no emo-
laments other than his "alary, but every
dollar of fees earned by the office we
Understand, are claimed by this econo
mist aa his own.
From his own standpoint he is doing
well : he is there for what there is in it,
and there is a whole lot in it; but this
is his last harvest from the plate's do
main, and we suppose he believe that a
ehort crop with a big price is better than
a long crop at the cnn'titntinnai rate.
The formation in Portland of a club
called the Oregon Road Club is a recog
nition of the very importnnt place good
highway! of travel hold in the progress
of a state. , Undoubtedly the zeal for
cycling is at the bottom of the agitation
and furnishes the chief incentive. Un
like the patient horse, which goes when
the master drives, the bicycle rebels at
rough roads and in silent stubbornness
compels their betterment; in this way
they are a abvantageous to a community.
The new club can be of great service in
gathering information as to the best
way of building roads and keeping them
in good repair when once constructed.
The field in Oregon is a large one and
there is abundant opportunity for the
exercise of much labor and enthusiasm,
but when once people have come to real
ize how great a comfort good roads are
and from a business standpoint how
wis an investment, the desire and de
mand will make their building and con
tinuance a thing of eapy moment.
