VOLUME 45 sesseseeee NO, 16,016, POLICE DUTY. » "" JAN policemen should do police duty. What constitutes police duty ig elaborately stated in the Greater New York charter; “The members ‘of such force are to especially preserve the public peace, prevent crime, detect and arrest offenders, suppress riots, protect the rights of persons and property, guard the public health, regulate street traffic, remove all Nuisances and provide proper police attendance at fires.” ie {The law says that the whole Police Department is to do this “‘at all times of day and night.” There is danger that in the multiplication of special police bureaus the general police duty of all members of the force! will be neglected. The daily list of crimes looks as if this were already) the case, _ ; \ DIRECT WAY IS BEST. ! ‘Gov. Higgins can send an insurance message and the Legislature can act at once. Evasion Is procrastination, The Legislature can give New York 80-cent gas within a week, {There is always a direct way of doing a thing as well as a roundabout way. Some men, if they want to go to a place across the street, will walk around the block and sneak in the side door. This is a habit of many Politicians, The direct, straightforward way is the best. : {Talk about the Ten Commandments Is cheap.

Hen- dricks admits should be allowed to remain to poison the Body Politic, LAW'S DELAYS, In his address at the services in memory of the late presiding Justice a of the Appellate Division Mr. Elihu Root told the real reason for the de- h: lays, difficulties and expense in the administration of justice in this county, He said: “The true remedy for the law's delay rests with us in address- ay ing ourselves, judges and counsel alike, assiduously to the work in hand day by day,” The application of this remedy would accomplish much more than tinkering with the State Constitution or electing additional judges and appointing a batch of trial commissioners, So long as the trial judges hold court an average of three or four hours a day and an average of four days a week for less than forty weeks in a year the creation of additional judges would be to sanction present indolence, The real reason for the law’s delay is well known to all lawyers and litigants, who will coincide with Mr. Root’s moderate expression of it. BRONX COUNTY. ® Bronx Borough is entitled to be made a county by itself. The public meetings on the other side of the Harlem manifest the unanimous desire of the people there to have a county government of their own, and their wishes should be gratified. The Bronx has a population now which exceeds that of two-thirds of the counties of the State. It is not fair to compel these hundreds of thousands of people to transact: their important legal business at the County Court-House in City Hall Square, which is as far away from the great part of the Bronx as is Albany from Troy, Every other of the five borough’ which make up the city of New York has its own county government, and the Bronx is entitled to its, g MONEY VALUE OF THE THREE R’S, 7 "In the present discussions of the curriculum of the public schools the future welfare of the pupils should be considered first. Almost all of the boys and many of the girls who attend the public schools must earn their own living, beginning at an early age. If they have not the necessary fun- damental groundwork they are handicapped, One great reason why employers prefer, especially in clerical posi- tions, young men and women from the country or from other cities is their superiority in writing legibly, spelling correctly and in ordinary arith- 7 metic. They may not know much of anything about a number of sub- ¥ jects taught in the New York public schools, but they are more valuable, i because the few simple things they have been taught they really know, The spelling and handwriting of the average graduate of the New York public schools is a reflection upon the school system, » knife, If she had not been already married his strenuosity might have a been more effective. people do not take to second-hand tombstones, although this one had neyer been used. 7] (a ey + ‘Aman in San Francisco stuffed $100 bills in a shotgun and wounded a policeman.
