The American mania} for enacting new laws and changing old laws has made our statute | books, our codes and our charters a veritable series of legal jungles | through which even the wariest lawyers cannot find their way with | certainty. | All of these tinkerings with legislation confuse the public mind | ns to the real issue, which in most cases is simply one of getting a right | enforcement of existing law.

Y CAL CAG CLUS USiee in the investigation of the Carnegie | Y G Vrust Company are opening up vistas into the| g. Olympian heights of finance. Superintendent Y Cheney, of the Banking Department, puts the GY jue, so far as his department is concerned, up to YY Andrew Carnegie himself. This is ono of the cases in real life where the! plot thickens es the analysis goes on. Why Mr. Carnegie should have assured the Superintendent of Banks that he would straighten out the affairs of the Trust Company is a mystery that finds its match | in the further question why he did not keep the promise. | But the most interesting feature in the drama is the rapidity | with which the limelight shifts from one player to another. First, | it was Robin, then Cummins, then Hyde and now Carnegie.

AYOR GAYNOR, in advocating the plan to make the Board of Education a department of the city government, turned aside from the theme for o moment to say a few words for himself. “I am rorry to say,” he complained, “there are some people who like to dig holes behind me for me to back up and fall into. I have no sympathy with such people.” The phrasing of this complaint shows a curious kink i the | Mayor’s mind. Why should he suspect people of digging pitfalls | behind him? Pitfalls are generally dug in front of a man, for, as a rule, men go forward instead of backing up. There is surely some- | thing perverse in the working of a mind that turns a familiar phrase | backward. Does the Mayor really know which way he is going? —_——+4-——______ | LET GEORGINA DO IT. | ECRETARY MEYER, of the Navy Department, has ordered the Superintendent of the Naval Acad- S emy at Annapolis to apologize to a young lady who | is reported to have been snubbed at a social fune- | & tion of the academy. The order was doubtlees de- signed to put an end to a petty and irri ng question of social recognition in naval circles. But unfortunately it has been accompanied by an explanation that is going | to cause more ruction than the original blunder. It is hardly credible, but appears to be the fact, that the order for apology was based upon a statement that the young woman who was snubbed because she was @ governess and companion in the household of an officer of the navy is not really a working girl, but} & young woman who had taken the position from “a purely soc viewpoint.” iological ' ving If this distinction between the worker and the sociological lady do not raise demands for further apologies, it will be only } . the American people are too much interested in baseball to give heed to anything else.
