If the murder of Herman Rosenthal concerned only the death of a gumbier It would uot be worthy of 11 forge amount of public attention. But, in volving as It does the police depart ment of the nation’s chief city and be ing symptomatic of conditions exist ing in other large cities, it assumes little less than national importance This man was shot down in front of the Hotel Metropole, Just off Broad wuy. In the very heart of New York city. Although it was 2 o’clock in the morning, the streets were as brilliantly lighted ns by day, there were many people passing and hundreds within call, and seven policemen had posts In the immediate neighborhood of the ■■rime. Notwithstanding these facts the men who shot the gambler ou the very steps of the hotel got into a waiting automobile ami drove leisurely away, and two weeks afterward only one of the men who did the actual shooting had been arrested, although all were known. Practically all the progress «that has beuu made in the case has «been the work of the district attorney. The po lice have done next to nothing. One police lieutenant bus been arrested as the Instigator of the crime. The rea son given for killing Rosenthal was that be was about to expose the graft system existing between the police and the criminal elements. Stories of this graft system are now »coming to light that are fairly staggering. The conditions revealed by tills mur der are so frightful that all honest citizens of New York should organize and remove the blight. The metropolis Is not alone involved, however. Every i well Informed man bellows tlint simi ! lar conditions obtain In other cities. It Is time for a rigid investigation of police conditions uot only'ln New York, but elsewhere. Such investlgadon should be followed by nctkm. if noth ing else proves effective a resort to the vigilance committee would bo Justifled. The American .people have always shown themselves equal to meeting a crisis, and these revelations show the presence of a crisis in our municipal life.

At least something is being done to decrease the death list from railway accidents, it’ is not much, but even slight efforts toward safety show that sometssly Is thinking about the prob lem. That Is more than we have al ways been led to expect The public service commission of the slate of New York finds that the wreck of the Twentieth Century tiler on the New York Central was due primarily to "schedules too fust for safety." It was the excessive speed uud not any defect lu tlie rail itself which caused the broken rail that in turn occasioned the wreck. It Is hard ly necessary to explain that tlie Twen tletli Century is tlie eighteen tiour tiler between New York aud Chicago, lie cuuae of the finding the hope is ex prossed In some quarters that the time of this train will la* lengthened. The Pennsylvania also lias au eighteen hour tralu between our two chief cities, and It Is intimated that Its scuedule may be changed w ith that of the Central. There Is a limit to railroad speed, and that limit has apparently been reached, perhaps exceeded. Beyond a certain speed the expens«' in money and life Is greater than is justifled even by the demand of the Ainvrl< au people tor quick travel Kveutually we must adopt the rule of "safety first." In this connection the Santa Fe rail road has created a new office whose Incumbent will lie known ns the com mlsslouer of safety. It will be his business to go from place to place on the rend studying incidents and their Presumably he will be pre« ent Ion empowered to organise the employee« to balp him In his work. I I THE TRIUMPH OF LAW. I yield to no man In sympathy for the unfortunate. My heart goes out in sympathy to every one In trouble I would that the strong hand of the law could ever be stayed from descending upon a human creature. The hardest thing I-have to do In this life is to pass sentence upon a man. I am not pleading for the punishment of men. but I am pleading to save men, to protect women and to shield Innocent children. And. as I conceive it. the only way to do this is to stop crime, and the only .way to stop crime is to punish the criminal. The penal laws are of divine ori » < gin. Their enforcement Is the only way known ’o men by which h life can be preserved, property mnde secure and homes protect ed. When the surgeon places the keen, sharp knife to the sensitive flesh and cuts to the quick and almost to the death it is done to destroy that which is bad and to save that which Is good. So it Is ijHn the enforcement of the crlml- nal law. The evil must be pun fl ished that the good and the pure ,5 may be saved. A family, a com- iamunlty, a state—aye, a nation— yis honored, respected and es- 3 teemed Just as It is law abiding, peaceable and loyal to authority, for where law and order stop an- archy begins, and In its mad trail wreck and ruin desolate the home, the state and the nation. « ; < The crowning purpose, then, of every good .citizen should be to help enfo'rce the law, Compel obe dience to authority In the home, in the community and In the state. The highest alm. the loft iest ambition, of every good cltJ- A; zen should be directed to this ¿tend, that peace may abide In our t homes and order prevail on our f highways.—Judge Robert T. Dan iel. s I THE SOUL. After all, it is right to give every possible form to our souL It is a flame that God has in trusted to us. We are bound to 'feed it with all that we fin'd most precious. We should Introduce Into our existence all Imaginable modes and open every door of the soul to all sorts of.knowledge and all sorts of feelings. So long as it does not all go in pellmell, there is plenty of room for ev erything.—Voltaire.

As there are twelve figures on the dial of a clock by means of which we reckon the progress of time, so there are on the dial of the conscience. which is the clock of the soul, twelve figures, and l>v them we can learn whether we are seelug as we ought to see. As the clock ticks, so con science apealM, saying: 1 ought; I ought not. I ought to worship G« h I with my whole heart.

Six days are enough to work or play, and seven are too many for oue or the other. 1 ought to honor parent hood. I ought not to kill with a weapon like a gun. a lie or a trick. 1 ought to be pure.

A KODAK’S CLICK By DOROTHEA HALE I Th» “Old Maid.” Some time ago a Rev. Mr. HiW-r of Colorado advocated the banishment of all old maids to a desert island for the general good of society. There upon 11 rose a storm of protest which came not only from spinsters, but from married women, from editorial writers ami from mere men. The newspa|H*rs reported au answer from Miss Helen M. Gould whlcA that hdy afterward AmAmericau gentleman was walking on the bunk of the Serpentine lake, llyde.purk. London. He carried a trav denied.
