STUDENT of social conditions in this city is quoted as saying that a careful study of the men that make up the midnight bread line shows that a majority of them are not bad men, nor even weak men, but men whose energies are scattered and dissipated instead of being directed to a defl- nite purpose. In a higher grade of life they would be known as dilettante men, who can do many things indifferently, but nothing well. In a measure such men are the results of misdirected or an- directed education, using the word in its broadest sense. Neither, parents, nor teachers, nor society, nor church, nor masters of trade, ever taught those poor fellows how to put their mental and physical energies to effective use, and they never had enough initiative im them to direct themselves. Indifference leads to sloth, sloth brings want and want im-| pels to crime. That is the diagnosis. The remedy is not yet dis | covered. | ny IT BEATS ALL. ISCUSSING the tariff on boots and shoes, the House of Representatives ran up somewhat unex- 4, pectedly against the United Shoe Machinery Com- Ain pany of Boston and thereby precipitated a series a ee of revelations concerning the iniquities of its daily aT ~ practices against shoe factories. Commenting upon the nature of the contracts the shoe men are said to have been forced to agree to by the ma- chinery company, Senator Bailey of Texas is quoted as saying such contracts are not only invalid but are criminal under our law, and that if they are sulmitted to the office of the Attorney-General of the United States “the United Shoe Machinery Company will have trouble on its hands. There is nothing new in any of these revelations. The facts bave been repeatedly published more or less fully, and have been fairly well known for some time. The curious thing is that the wee NO, 18,165. 5 (hi nr shoe manufacturers, who constitute a numerous and wealthy body, have never seriously fought the trust. Yet they have in their employ able lawyers und at their command large banking capital. It beats all guess to what impositions American business men Gill submit. They will not even appeal to law when a law is made for them. —— DR. ABBOTT'S RHETORIC. R. LYMAN ABBOTT, addressing the Peace Con- Gress at Baltimore, is quoted as saying of Mayor Gaynor’s police policy: “While needless arrests have been eliminated, there has been a retrogres- sion toward vice which has made New York worse than it has been in twenty years.” | That is the sort of thing « man like Dr. Abbott | ought not to say. It carries a plain implication that when arbitrary arresta are stopped there is a retrogression toward vice. It also asserts positively that conditions in this city are worse now than| at any other time in twenty years. The implication is erroneous— the assertion lacks proof. That crimes are frequent in New York is indisputable. The reo- ord shows it in the news of the day. As the population is larger than it was twenty years ago, it is likely the number of offenses in larger than it was twenty years ago. But any etatement that con- Gitions are now worse than ever before depends for effect upon its eloquence rather than ite accuracy, and is more suitable for a rhetori- cian than a echolar. ——_-4-—_____.

This time the disaster is not bad, but the warning should be none the less effective. It appears that in this case the girls had been taught « fire drill, and when summoned to it had responded well. But unfortunately whey they came to the closed doors and one of their number tripped and fell, discipline vanished. It appears, moreover, that the stairways were not broad enough, nor were the bannisters strong enough for the strain put upon them.
