The deliberate attempt which was made to take the life of Mayor Mitchel of New York city again calls to atten- tion the dangers which are associated | with such an office and reveals the great amount of protection with which an active official of prominence is justi- fied in surrounding himself. The may- oralty of New York Is no bed of roses as many before Mavor Mitchel have found out. Great responsibility res upon the head of that city's govern- ment. It is constantly in the limelight for one reason of another, and if there is nothing else for which it can be made uncomfortable there are always the sharp attacks of politiclans and agitators for the creation of distrust and {liwill. It is also a noticeable fact that whether a crank is seeking a job, wealth, appointment, or has set out to regulate some imaginary wrong his ‘course usually leads him to some such official. This is the second attempt to assas- sinate the mayor of New York oity, the late Mayor Gaynor having been shot in 1910 and recelving a wound which hastened his end. Such mani- festations of anarchistic tendencies de- serve the strongest kind of discour- agement. They are occurring with al- together too great frequency. Fortu- nately this last attempt at assassina- tion promises mot to result in any loss of life. It does call, however, for the exertlon of the greatest vigilance in the dispersing of known cranks and annoyers and If necessary the placing of them under surveillance before they have a chance to do any damage or put their murderous ideas into oper- | ation, even though the discovery of such people Is not always an easy matter.

Adverse circum- stances mark every life, so does be- reavement: but if our hope and faith are properly placed these are only tem- porary disturbances.

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.) Eleanor Gilman and Madelaine Rose were saléswomen at neighboring counters in the store of Walter & Har- mon, one of the most popular centers of trade in the city of Madison. Dur- ing a lull In trade on a stormy day a fortnight before Easter, they had a cozy chat over the display of hats for Baster which they had seen in the millinery department of their own store, and the prices attached thereto, “Blean asked Madelaine, “have you selected your Easter bat?
