WALDO AND HIS WORK. R. CROPSEY retired from the office of Police Commissioner “without regret” on his part, and with the public in much the same content. Com- missioner Waldo takes office amid high expecta- tions on the part of the public, and perhaps with an equal expectation on his own part. But it was said of old: “Let not him that put-| teth on his armor boast himself as he that putteth it off.” The command of a police force is at all times a difficult business, and the difficulty is not lessened when promotions are dependent not upon efficiency displayed in police work, but upon cleverness in pass- ing civil service examinations conducted by a board alien to the Police office. Shortly after his retirement from t) office of Fire Chief, Mr. Groker stated in a public address that the efficiency of the Fire De- Partment has been diminished of late by the civil service rule of Promotion. The new Police Commissioner has, therefore, a difficult task ahead of him. But he has youth, courage and ambition. And the public that has every desire for his success will, of course, strengthen his hands where it can. The rest is with the Mayor. ‘ —- ++ —___ COURTS AND LITIGATION. OR the purpose of facilitating the trial of appeals from the Interstate Commerce Commission there was created a Court of Commerce and the people settled down in expectation of secing things move. But the Court has issued an injunction to stop the Commission from enforcing its de- 7‘! crees, and the Commission is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States against the aggression. The creation of a new tribunal is virtually the creation of new litigation. There seems no possible escape from it. Every new official seeks to justify his appointment by magnifying his office. Where there was but one appeal before, two spring up as if by magic. And the more the judges the slower the judgment, may be accented ae a fact in legal history. The new court starts out badly. It has hindered what it was designed to hasten. It threatens to nullify instead of strengthen the commission. But it may at least serve a good purpose as a warning against the creation of that Court of Business that some folks have been advocating as n means of facilitating decisions in trust cases. - ————— +42 —____ A SUPPRESSED STORY. HAT a multimillionaire could crush to death under his automobile a child in a thickly settled locality, and have the whole affair hushed up with sgch secrecy that the facte are made known only by a suit for damages brought three years after the event, is a pretty fair proof that this country is ; still a long,way from having that excess of pub- ligity some folks complain of. ' In this case the automobile was being driven without a license. The crushed child was taken to a hospital, where she died within four days. The hospital authorities seem to have regarded the mat- ter as a secret, and if there was any inquest or inquiry into the affair there is as yet no public record of it. In fact, were it not for the instiiution of a suit for damages it appears nothing would ever have been known to the authorities about the case, Yet the affair happened not in the wilderness nor in Russia, but in Massachusetts. Evidently the suppression of news in that State is not yet a lost art, nor can the press yet boast itself of pub- lishing all the’ news that is fit to print. Some things escape notice, and some other things are not permitted to escape into notice. THE ROCHESTER PLATFORM. HEN Mr. Bryan reminded the Democrats of the State Legislature that they are pledged by the -Rochester platform to support the Federal income tax resolution, one of the members called out: “We are pledged to support ‘an amendment,’ not ‘the amendment.” ‘Thereupon a cry of approval went up from various parts of the chamber. This was but a new manifestation of the trick by which some members of the Legislature hope to evade their pledge and shame their party. During the campaign there was no statement to the voters of any difference of opinion as to what the meant. It was ev platform pledge where understood that the pledge was the simple one of supporting the income tax resolution that had been submitted by Congress to the States and was then under discussion, Democracy on trial before the nation has been put to a severe strain at Albany. Very little of the record will be helpful to the party in the nation at large. But nothing that has been done or undone so far will be so hurtful to the candidates of the party in the snext campaign as would be a declaration by Democratic Legislators that the campaign pledge of their party last year was an intentional trick to deceive, As to Parthquakes, fo the Patitor of The Evening World What scientific reader can ways ai Will laugh at my specch, Therefore, 1 ™O) always at briefly and simply what causes earth: | ‘ory mincrabig nee Th maken Hite quakes and why New York is suppose: . would he very thankful and indebted all my life to any reader who may advise n @ way te stop stammering. ¢0 be immune fram them?

Representative women have given The Evening World their ideas ow the query: “WHAT 18 THB REAL AMERICAN WOMAN!" No. VIT.—‘‘She Is the Most ‘Chumable’ Woman inthe World! ’ Saye Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. 6ETPTME American woman ts the most chumable woman in the world. She Af has mastered the art of friendship. She knows how to be friends with her husband, friends with her children, friends with the man she never dreams of marrying—even friends with | another woman! As the good comrade, she admits no peer." From this angle, Mrs, Wilson Wool- row, author of “The New Misstoner,” “The Beauty” and other popular novels, approached the theme of the American woman, which has been so widely dis- cussed for Evening World readers. “It seems to me that most of the mistakes about the American woman have been made because most of her critics have been men,” began Mrs. Woodrow. “Wasn't it Robert Browning who sald ‘Men are net angels, neither are they Yet, I fancy even that great poet, being a man, mignt thave demurred over the equally truthful assertion that women are not angels, neither are they demons, Everyman will always insist on putting Bvery- woman into the superlative degree.” “How would you define the American woman? asked Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “She's a human sort of a person,” said Mre. Woodrow, simply. “If ehe ever was on a pedestal, she's got tired and walked of. She te dorm wtth a love for work, a womanly desire for a husband and babies, a rather clean mind and a sense of humor. “Her environment occastonally causes abnormal changes in the chrywalis of her childhood, and when the chrysalis opens, a butterfly, a snob or a too too-free- and-independent young person emerges. But such products are so rare that they are extremely noticeable. “Once upon a time a woman was @ cat. 6he was frequently a very soft, y, affectionate, purry cat, and her claws were drawn in so far that you y ever saw or felt them, But the range of her interests was almost Hterally She liked cream and warm rooms and soft cushions ana smooth fur and es—small ones. As the hables grew older they rather puzzled her, but there was generally ger to whom she could devote herself. She differed from kitty chiefly in disitking mice. “Now she 1s so gloriously different. The modern American woman is a born chum. She has a marvellous number and vartety of interests in common with her hushand “The American wife is even capable of understanding her husband's ‘business problems, and he recognizes it by freely discussing them wi'n ner, Many times they may be doing the same work, Very llkely !t 1s thetr community of work interests which brought them together. And after marriage they keep on working together. f “But the American woman {s frequently criticised for not stving up her business postion when she marries in omer to attend to her domestic duties,” suggested Miss Marshall. | ‘he American wife goes to business and hires a cook simply because she follows the dictates of economy and common sense. Far from being extravagant, she {s really one of the best managers in the world. When carping detractors compare her household expenses with those of her French or English sister they forget that she {s maintaining a much higher standard of Itving—and that her husband would be the first one to protest if she lowered It. “The American woman is not a doormat, and let us hope she never wi'l be. She is vain enough to prefer to stand rather than to be stood upon. She has self-respect. Here, more than in any other country, she meets men on the plane of equality and proves daily that she can match her drains, her ability with theirs. “Is she to blame for recornizing the fact that she 1s ‘as good as a man,’ from a worker's point of view? “Incidentally, It's rather interesting ta notice that this new type of purposeful woman {s interested !n a special type of man," added Mrs, Wooarow. "Not being a shrinking flower or a plece of Dresden china, but a busy, sophisticated, suc- cessfiyl Woman, she demands that just those adjectives shal! apply to the man she marries.
