HE most superb of American State Capitols, massive etructure of granite and marble that re- quired in the building the labor of many men for forty years and an expenditure of upward of €25,000,000, was destroyed in about three hours by a fire supposed to be due to a defect in an electric light wire. Doubtless the wires were put in about as cheaply as could be done without making a bad appearance. In the great waste caused by extravagances and fraud it was necessary that some part of the work be skimped, otherwise the expense would have been greater still aud the work not yet completed. Thus, by an orderly consequence, the building has been lost because of economy in equipping it. We shall have another Capitol. It will be equal if not superior to the one we have lost. It will be a long time building. It will cost much money. Let us hope that, profiting by the lessons of the past, we ehall not mar it by a papier mache ceiling and defective wiring. ss HOW TARIFFS ARE MADE. RESIDENT TAFT and Senator Aldrich urged the election of Lorimer to the United States Senate from Illinois because they wished his aid and vote in passing the Tariff bill. ‘That is the testimony & given before the committee of investigation at GN Springfield by Edward Hines, a representative of the lumber interest(s, There is nothing in this revelation that will surprise those who have given any careful attention to the processes of tariff making. | It is impossible to apply the protective principle to the fiscal system of the country without using the power of the Government to benefit some at the expense of othe The scramble to obtain the bencfits inevitably leads to tricks and trades, to combinations, to conspiracies. Ae its motive is alway. greed, its consequences must ever be ignoble. a ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS, OLICE COMMISSIONER CROPSEY’S _ report shows a total of 170,681 arrests in 1910 against a total of 220,335 in 1909. his decrease of about 50,000 arrests in a single year will naturally give | rise to a good deal of comment and criticism. Some | will see in it an evidence that arrests for petty causes have diminished and will approve it. Others will find it worth while to carefully consider in the report other figures, not so salient, but not less important. For example: During the year there were 3,528 arrests for felo- nious assault, but only 550 convictions, Vor assault and robbery, 210 errests with but 33 convictions. For grand larceny, 2,322 arrests, 364 | convictions, Assault, 10,691 arrests, convictions 2,648, A eimilar showing is made for all grades of offense down to vagrancy. In every instance the arrests are many, but the convictions compara- tively few. It appears, then, that such toleration of crime and misdemeanor as exists is by no means due merely to the arresting power, but to that which is charged with the duty of conviction and punishment. ‘The Evening World Daily Magazine, Thursday.
