That the lid is not completely down there is frequent evidence, the most recent and startling being from Harlem. It Is subject to upheaval because there are Togues above as well as below it. Mayor McClellan and Comthissioner McAdoo are credited with sincerity ef purpose. Of this sincerity the dismissal of Cowan and Haggerty was an Indication, which might be pleasingly eccentuated by similar treat- ment for McAvoy. Recent developments in Herlem show the absolute unfitness of McAvoy. Doubtless both the Mayor and the head of the Police Department are subjected to terrific pressure. Perhaps this cannot be stopped wholly. So far as officials of any grade are instrumental in its application, it can be, stopped, and the punishment of the offenders follow as 4n imperative necessity. Mr. McAdoo asserts that certain policemen and de- tectives are sustulning the law-breakers by refusing to carry out specific orders. Thus the lid Is raised, but not entirely from bene.th. It ts pried up and kept up through insubordination and collusion, violation of oath, end wanton crime, Surely the Commissioner has enough feithful men to enable him to apprehend the recreants and to overcome their malign Influence. Part of the satisfaction of ob- serving the lid slam would be in the spectacle of cor- ruption getting ita unclean fingers pinched. In n “get there’ age, it is rather the man of destination than of destiny. FOUND THE EASIER WAY. A Michigan man willed $10,000 to each of three sweethearts, With this sum the trio wil! be able to array themselves in woful and becoming black, and later encouraged to emerge, stylish, and with hope renewed, from their span of grief. Perhaps the man had found the easier way. He cared for all the women equally. Willingly would he have married any of them, but he knew the other two would file among the wedding gifts papers in suits for breach of promise, So with masterful tact he kept good graces all around. No foolish letter of his ever was read in court. His affairs were not even discussed until he was dead and didn’t care. In the light afforded by the average breach-of-promise action, the Michigan man will be adjudged wise. The Peace he purchased by the outlay of $30,000, for which he had no use, was cheap at the price, Husband dead, wife dead, bo; pistol inquired In Williamsburg yesterday what we're going to do about It. THE PRESSING PERIL OF THE PARKS. The City Club has {ssued a pressing appeal for general public participation in the fight against the Dowling bill at Albany providing that “temporary” school bulldings may be erected in small parks in New York, It 1s suggested by the club that brief letters of protest be sent to Gov. Odell, to S. Frederick Nixon, Speaker; to James T. Rogers, Assembly Chamber; to Jean L. Burnett, Chairman of Cities Committee, Assembly Chamber, or to any of the following individual members of the Cities Committee of the Assembly: Frederick W. Hammond, Jacob D, Remsen, George B Agnew, Robert L. Cox, Willlam J. Grattan, J. M, Wain- wright, Edward C. Dowling, Josiah T. Newcomb, Charles F Ogden, John McKeown, William H. Hornidge and Anthony F, Burke, The peril of the bill hangs over every park in New York except Central and Prospect Parks. Already the Board of Education, anticipating the passage of this measure, is contemplating taking about one-half of Corlears Hook Park, Seward Park, Hamilton Fieh Perk and Mulberry Bend Park, all on the lower east side, as well as portions of five parks in Brooklyn and others in other parts of Manhattan. As The Evening World has eald again and again, the Proposed measure is unnecessary, unwise and threaten- ing. It is mistakenly indorsed by the Mayor, which makes public protest all the more important. Every citizen who cares actively for the parks and) does not want to see the first step taken for their sure) destruction should respond to the City Club's request. | There {s something wrong when police inquire as to a burglar's politics before mubjeoting him to the annoyance of arrest, THE # EVENING WORLD'S 7 Happiest Time ina By Helen Oldfield. HERF {s no happler period tn n woman's life than that of her en- gagement of marringe to the man yf her chotee, when that choice ts fully approved by her family and friends. and he ts, moreover, her devoted love. Mariage may bring fuller fruition and deeper joys, together with the blesred- ness which, sages tell us, Is sometimes better than happiness, sinco it Is elfish. But ft brings also grave re- sibilities, and the sweetness of tts cup is never altogether unmixed with sorrow amd care. A girt’a engagement is, however, usually regarded, for a time at least, as a complete triumph It places her upon a pedestal, and forih- with renders hee an object of Interest to all her acquaintances and a person of importance to all her girl friends. She Js petted and privileged: she ts the re eipient of a thousand attentions; ahe ts made much of. and Is invested with many of the rights while still excused from all the duties and obligations of a wife, It {s Impossible to deny that however devoted a husband may be. ha Is rarely #0 attentive as a dutiful fanee No mo chine can be always kept at high pressure; custom stales most things fn this world, and the lover is in a state of expectancy which adds much to the zest of his attachment and to the eagor- ness of his affection. Marriage means give and take, and the wife Is supposed to serve as a ministering angel in her husband's home. During the engage- ment the {deal lover ts his lady's faith. ful slave, mindful of her lightest wish and obedient to her every whim, how- ever unreasonable It may be In other eves thao his. After marriage it is she who Is vowed to “love, honor and obey It is small wonder that, under such a state of things, many young girls look forward eagerly to an engagement as something greatly to be desired and are prone to consider the being “engaged as of more Importance than the man to whom they are engaged, and so rush into that state of supposed beatitude without thought of the end to which it may load. 3 46) 8 8 Ue lw eC ‘There are times when a promise of marriage is far better broken than kept Half the miseries that dev. rled life arise from the fal which lovers form of each other, many times better for them to know ach other's faults and follies before hand, and to cry off from the bargain, than to find the angel of courtshi transformed into the demon of matri- mony. Neither can ft be insisted too often nor too gtrenuously that, when an en. gagement 1s to be broken, it te th: woman's right to sever the tle; even though the man may hand her the knife, he must do so “under the rose.” ‘The reason {s nelf-evident, It may hurt a man's vanity; tt may even go far to break his heart to be jilted; but {t does him no such harm in the eyes of @ censorious world as befalls the women who the like wrong However fortunate her escupe, she !s pitied and contemned.

The influence described as a “pull” may be so vague that tracing it to a definite source is difficult. It {s per- haps exerted by somebody powerful enough to render its existence logical. When the possessor is an habitual @nd notorious criminal, the element of logic vanishes. If the truth about Eastman has appeared, he has been able after arrest for attempted robbery, followed by attempted murder, to injure the policeman who caused ‘him inconvenience. There is a simple method of neutralizing the a “pull.” It is that of putting the criminal in ‘and keeping him there.

There are scoundrels on the New York police force, Take 7,000 ministers, and you will find that not all of them will stand the morality acid test. When you come to consider the environment of a cop, the fact i that he is continually stacking up against the side of life that has burrs on it, the remarkable thing about it is that so many of them are decent. “Generally the people who make the fiercest raves qi against policemen are people who know least about ‘ them. The bumble dweller of the tenements knows the cop. He calls the man on the beat by his first name, and to bim the bite uniform and brass buttons stand as the signs of government. When his kid is lost the copt bring the kid back. When he is tn trouble he tells the cop about it, and gets advice. And when the cop as at institution is jumped on until the marks of the heels art. visible the humble citizen takes a fall out of the jump ers by the ballot-box route. U “The list of New York policemen who have been killed in the performance of patrol duty is a long ona There isn't an hour of the night that the policeman is not within reaching distance of his finish. Any store door he tries is likely to be open, and beyond that opep door there is likely to be a desperate man with a gun, If you have never looked into the thorax of a revolver you cannot realize the 100-proof nerve it takes to carry out an action like that of Enright. He saw the gun in the thief's hand, but he walked up to grab him by the collar, Not until a bullet had ripped through his insides did he draw his own revolver. “When a policeman is not taking chances with thieves and murderers and maniacs he is engaged in the placid Pastime of stopping runaways, yanking children from in tront of street cars, looking after violations of corpora- tion ordinances, trying to refrain from pinching men who are corned to the collar-buttons, carrying people out of burning buildings before the firemen arrive or jumping off docks after persons desirous of taking the water cure for despondency. While blizzards olizt and , » | rainstorms soak and the hot sun makes the asphalt soft, the conscientious cop is pounding the pavement and keeping the community in line. The death of one usro lke Enright wipes out much of the shortcomings of the: men who disgrace the uniform.” “Well,” said The Cigar Store Man, “my bonnet off-to cops of the Enright stripe.” ‘i “Same here,” echoed The Man Higher Up. Ireland’s “Green.” Some orators are wont to refer fervidly to the green flag as the “ancient banner of Ireland.’ Probably, however, Bt. Patrick and his contemporaries never saw a green flag in Ireland, nor did the Irish for about fourteen centuries after him, There 1s no mention of a green flag in the Irish an- nals previous to 1798, says the Chicago News. At the céle- brated skirmish known as ‘the battle of the Boyne” the opposing armies of King Willlam and his father-in-law, King James, wore red uniforms. In order to avold killing one another by mistake in the confusion of battle William's men stuck green leaves in their hats, while those of James wore white paper rosettes, representing the white rose of York, Thus, by strange frony, the Orangemen were the first wearers of the green in Ireland. The famous Irish briga in the service of France wore red uniforms; some of them were therefore mistaken for English and cut down by the French cavalry in the melee when the brigade's charge kained the victory at Fontenoy. The Irish insurgents of 1798, Catholics and Protestants, were the firat to adopt green. as the national color of Ireland. It had been previously Proposed as the “color of hope” by Camille Desmoulins ta the French revolutionists, but he was outvoted in favor of the tricolor, The Wexford insurgents at first used im- + partidlly flags of various colors—red, yellow and green—but eventually they fixed on green, which, with baptism of herolc blood, was then firmly and permanently established as the national colcr o? Ireland. ‘There have been some fantastic and wholly unsuccessful attempts to introduce # green, white and yellow “Irish tricolor.” Her Cue, Te fs not an easy matter to introduce anything novel into the surroundings of a performance on the piano, but a young lady of Bydney, N. 8.
