—— & World’s mome Magazine, Wednesday Evening, July 5, 1908. a by the Preas Publishing Company, No Motered at the Post-OMmice at New York as WHERE THE PARALLEL STOPS. District-Attomey Clarke, of Brooklyn, sems to be going ahead en- forcing the Penal Code without apologies or after-dinner speeches. He has secured many convictions of all kinds of criminals, and as yet | omitted to make public any whole or partial list of criminals whom the _ Penal Code does not provide some way of punishing. | Philadelphia has a Mayor who discharged his bess and is now collect- ing evidence which proves that the boss of Philadelphia is in partnership | with the Official Contracting Firm, and that the city has been defrauded | fn this firm’s contracts, The city officials who helped the Otticial ( one | tracting Firm rob the city have been discharged. New York has a District-Attorney who under the law has as much power as the District-Attorney of Kings County, and New York also hasa Mayor who in legal power and personal ability is fully equal to Mayor Weaver. It is to be uafiltsh thot the parallel cannot be continued farther, “Two BRADYS, — Mr. Nicholas F. Brady is the son of Anthony N. Brady, well known fo public execration through his Brooklyn street railroads. Nicholas F. Brady has a tender spot in his heart. It grieved him to watch the fate of the old fire-engine horses after their days of use to the city are over and they are sold at auction to the truckmen ind hucksters who can get a few more months’ work out of them. Mr, Nicholas F. Brady has bought a number of these old fire horses ‘and has turned them out on a farm where they can spend the remaining | years of their lives in equine luxury. This is a nice thing for Mr. Nicholas F. Brady to do and he deserves credit for his efforts to ameliorate the) condition of dumb animals in their old If Anthony N. Brady would only manifest a little of the same con- Bideration for the people of Brooklyn and the employees of his B. R. T. as his son does for old Fire Department horses there would not be the, same bitter public feeling against him and his corporation. _ Is it that a B. | R. T. motorman or conductor or the ordinary Brooklynite is not worthy of the same consideration asa Fire Department horse, or that Nicholas, the son, has instincts of tendernessrand sympathy which were not inher- ited from Anthony, the father? A PICKPOCKET’S MISTAKE. "Whoever took former Judge Golifogle’s watch must have done it in ignorance of the name and position of the owner. Pickpockets are not and higher officials. Where such a thing has been done the restoration | of the stolen property and prompt apology are always expected. If people | of political power and prominence were more often the victims the police} system would speedily be reformed. that flat robberies must be confined to ordinary people who have no “pull,” that clubmen must be unmolested, as they have powerful political acquaintances, and that men of power are not only entitled to keep all their own property, but to exploit the property of the multitude. The Fagin schools which teach the boys of the east side to pick pockets should make collections of the photographs of all prominent poli- ticians and have the pupils learn their features, or the police may take it into their head to interfere with this scholastic industry. The Tammany Association of the Eighth Assembly District cele- brated the Fourth of July with an automobile excursion.
