The great city of New York has been S0 open teo vice and crime of all kinds that it is by no means difficult to cre- ate & great and unwarranted commo- tion over nothing. Really does the sit- uation offer the opportunity for those who are seeking cheap notorlety or Ppossibly blackmail to get in some cun- ning work. Others are led into hys- teria over the complete absorption in the experiences of others and are quick to rush to conclusions without any foundation as to facts. This is strik- ingly illustrated by the accusation of & man riding in the subway as a poison needle operator by a young woman who caused his arrest and de- tention only to resuit in finding that the injury which had been done to her arm was an old one and nq evi- dence could be provided that even an| attempt had been made to molest the| voung woman, by the person accused. After considerable investigatian the poison needle excitement has been| found to have little foundation. That! it has made a lasting impression upon is indicated by just such an incident as occurred and which ac- cording to report as to the injury and the subsequent discharge of the ac- cused indicated that there was an| wrong motive in making the com- plaint. From the outcome of the sev- | eral cases thus far the greatest pen- alty is inflicted by being suspec ed. It seems to be time for a little common sense to ed in con- nection with such affairs and the un- due state of nervousness alowed to subside. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

That all but ten per | cent. of the receipts from the sale of the stamps at this season of the | year is devoted to relieving suffering and providing better sanitary condi- | tions in this viclnity, is perhaps not | new, but its repetition certainly calls | to mind 2 needfnl and important work | in which evervome is not only given | the opportunity. but sheuid enthusias- tically enter for the relief of suffer- ing humanity.

It is but one of many agescies which are en- gaged in this most commendable un- dertaking but each and every one of them represents a well organized ef- fort for checking the spread of tu- berculosis, Tt should be therefore the ambition of every city to lend its greatest encouragement to the main- tenance of the fight which is being waged expressly in behaif of local con- ditions. The need for such aid ecxists and will centinne to for a long time 10 come, but the amount of successful sppositien which can be offered de- | peads te @ Jarge extent upon the indi- dual interest and cooperation.

It 18 not alone among the shore towns of New Fngland, where opposi- | tion is being manifested to the pro- | posed Sissolution of the New Haven | system, that the 11l effects of such | setion is Tealized. The other cities of Xew England which know the ben- efits which are afforded by the exist- | Ing system of transportation are llke- | wige Qisturbed by the uncertainties | which are offered by forced dissolu- | tion. In this respect J. H. Hale, Con- | necticut’s big fruit grower and a mem- ber of the state utilities commission, | made a statement concerning the sit- uvation which rings with common sense when at the Massachusetts state grange mesting hs declared that mere{ was no fustification for the separation ! of the system into independent units and thas turn back “the clock of New | England’s prosperity fully twenty-five | ' s i In the opinion of Mr. Hale tha! wrongs of the past shouid not be used | to dim the future of the section of the country which is served. The idea | of causing the system to divorce its | steamships and trolley holdings is zo- | Ing to cause as much harm to the| communities of New England as it is to the raflroad itself. There is noth- ing to be gained by creating two wrones in the effort to make one right. What effact the protests will have against dissolution is uncertain; but coming from those directly interested they certalnly should be given the consf@eration which is deserved. PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. One of the great drawbacks in the vice crusades which are being made in many sections of the country is the inability to determine the cause and establish the proper ground for at- tack. Much research and investiga- tion have revealed the existence of eonditions which call for betterment, but progress to such a result indicate that either there is a lack of the prop- er understanding of the cause, or a wrong method of attack. The report which has been made by the Morals Efficiency commission of Plttsburg af- ter an extenmsive Investigation [Fur- nishes facts of much importance when it is found that in eighty per cent. of the cases which came before them, feeblemindedness was indicated or a tendency shown in that direction, The commission even went further and jlion armed men with a similar period for the two pre- | vious years. Such shows that there| has been a falling off in the imports extent of forty-six million de-| the favorable inducements which were made by the new tariff provi jons, while exports ha shown a| steady increase amounting to approx- imately = sixty-eight million. The period covered, July lusive, ives little chance for ! effect of the tariff to be judged basing the remainder of the year| upon the figures for those months it ily understood where the democrati to October | the | uneasir of insuf- | ficient Tevenue arise: ances | food importations have increased but | with other food supplies upon which | he du removed there has been | a decrease, while the reduction in im- | ports to the sum of over thirteen mil- | lion dollars occurred upon goods'which | are on the free or on which there is no change of duty as yet. That the export bus: on the increase is cause for congrat- | ul n but gain in 1913 over 1912 million than | | the was lower by twenty-five the gain in 1912 over 1911 It is to be hoped for the benefit of American industry that a healthy increase can be maintained in the export trade and | for that reason particular interest will| be manifested in the from the department after the tariff| has had a chance to get into opes tion.

It must be mighty discouraging to the democrats to realize that their pet from its discoveries declare that over half the girls and women came from the laboring class where conditions before and after birth are to a large extent responsible, Tt is thus that a large portion of the blame is found to rest with the parents.

Her head ached, but the typewriter clicked on busily, and she looked up with a smile as Johnnie, the 15-year-old office boy, passed her. He had been feeling low- spirited,—“all-down-at-the-heels,” he described it,—but he walked out of the office with a light heart. Ada’s smiles were to him as a tonic. In the corridor a man passed him and a moment Jater he heard the junior partner calling him back. “Here, Johnnle, take this telegram to the Western Union at once. No reply. You can deliver that package after-’ wards,” observed Mr. Lowe, at the same time, writing rapidly upon a bit of paper. Meanwhile the stranger 5tood beside him hurriedly counting out a roll of bills and piling them one by one on the desk close to a pile of torn paper. With a true Yankee desire to “make every minute count.” Mr. Lowe bad acquired a habit of throwing obened envelopes and other scraps of paper to one side, when busy at his desk, until he wished to close it, when he would brush the whole mass into a waste basket. After Johnnie and the stranger were gone, Mr. Lowe gathered up the bills and ' recounted them; then placing them in their former position, sat re- garding them thoughtfully. Presently he rose and, standing behind Ada's chair, dictated some letters. This done, he turned again to his desks, -gathered up all the bilis but two and laid them a little to one side upon a certain document which was a note for a large sum, and very important. Then he picked up a waste basket and was in the act of fiweepmg the paper from his desk into it, when his senior partner suddenly called to him from the inner office. Hastily finishing the operation he dropped the basket and went thither.

She could easily reach the bills from her seat at the typewriter, probably took them just before leaving. The note can do her no good, though and I wonder that she took it.” When Johnnie returned to the offic after lunching and delivering the pack age, it was nearly two o'clock. Ada was alone, sitting before the type- writer, but with her hands folded. face expressed keen distress, and there were traces of tears upon it. Johnnie eyed her sympathetically, but did not know anything to say.
