DIX, in transmitting to Mr. Van Ts commission as State Superintendent wrote to him: “You go into offices enfet- tered and without the obligation of pledge.” These are right words spoken tn season. They are gratifying to every citizen who wishes an im- partial enforcement of law and « careful euperrision of banks and banking. But how much more eloquent they would have sounded, and how much more confidence they would hare aroused in the public mind, if the confirmation of Mr. Van Tuyl to the office of Bank} Superintendent had not been so seemingly obtained by « bargain with Tammany for the appointment of Cohalan to the Supreme | Court. Of course no one supposes that Mr. Van Tuy] himself hed any thing to do with the bargain. He is not suspected of being per-| somally under the obligation of any pledge to Tammany. But it would have been much better if the Governor had shown an equal freedom from fetters. For one of the evils of political bargaining is that the odor of it is fer reaching and taints many things that in themselves are pure. | ——— + —_____ ABUSE OF POLICE POWERS. ENATOR GRADY’S bill prohibiting the police from photographing persons arrested on suspicion | of crime, taking Bertillon measurements of them and subjecting them to what is known as the third! degree, ought to be passed unanimously. It is, in fact, strange that such a bill should be needed. Until a man has been convicted of | crime the police have no right whatever to photograph him or to| label him in their rolls under the Bertillon system. Neither have they any'right to practise upon the unfortunate any kind of physical or mental torture for the purpose of extorting evidence to convict. But while they have no right to do such things, they have the power, and they exert it upon any arrested person who lacks the pull to prevent. Serious injustices have been done by these wronge. They are not in the least necessary to @ firm enforcement of law. They are violations of the spirit of our immemorial principle that every man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, and that no man shall be forced to testify against himself. The sooner they are stopped the better. The rights of an accused man should be respected in the police office as well as in the courts. ————_+4--—___—. WOODROW WILSON’S WORDS. HEN asked at Portland if he were a candidate for the Presidency, Gov. Woodrow Wilson answered: y Roy L. McCardell. “T certainly have not the audacity to seek the nomi-| gy 10, old tion, but no man is too big to refuse it.” H Range: This phrase, we are surprised to note, has been generally construed to mean that the Governor will surely accept the nomination if offered him. It plainly declares, however, the very opposite of that. Had the Governor said, “I am not big enongh to refuse,” or “I am too big to refuse it,” he would have signified a belief that he would be bound subway platform crowded car with replied Mr. Jarr, in the most gloomy and per- home!” enaried Mr. your own business he ‘essayed to rise and would but Just then Eimer ‘brushed into Mr, Jarr on the | maced two cold, foam-topped tall ones table and—well, the flesh ts cried Mr. | he@lhave done so, and entered a The Evening World Daily Magazine, Saturday, May 20. 191 1.

But that ts not her only work, and just now she is wildly exuiting in her discovery of the other jobs, Perhaps the pendulum of her life has swung a little too far toward freedom and away from domesticity, but that 1s merely a natural reaction from the narrow Victorian age. It will all adjust iteelf before long. | “Besides,” Miss Bates added earnestly, “the American woman has a | particularly fine and lofty idea of marriage. She will not bring children into a home where she does not consider that a fit father awaits them, She will not even maintain the mockery of such a home. “Buropean critics have called the Amerioan woman unreasonable tn her attl- | tude toward her husband.
