A MERICANS may be God-fearing—anyway, they eny they are ve .NO, 18,411 but they are not law-abiding. As John Martin eaid at the Wareliousemen’s dinner the other night, “We are by ard Jarge and in the main @ lawless people.” ‘There is more truth than poetry in hie assertion, “The only kind of killing which is not ap- proved of here is the legal execution.” Three American rulers have been assassinated in little more than a generation—a record only to be paralleled in the Renaissance history of the Italian republics, From 185 to the end of 1911 there were 3,361 lynchings in this country. Imst your there wero more of these here than of legal executions. In the twenty years between 1885 and 1904 the average annual number of murders in this country was 6,597, Homicide’s high water mark, reached in *, 1896, was 10,662. More mon are killed here every year than in Italy, Spain, England and Germany combined—these the two most violent and the two most populous European countries from which figures are obtainable. Where Germany convicts 9 per cent. of {te murderers, we convict 1.3 per cent. Figures just returned by the Board of Magistrates show that last year there were 107,225 arrests without warrant in the boroughs _ of Manhattan and the Bronx, which is more than the usual Republi- can vote. The American propensity to defy the law is shown in the city by repeated strikes of municipal employees and in the nation by @ record of desertions from the army worse than that of other { thodern powers. Tax returns in certain Southern States have dis- closed a greater investment in pocket hardware than in plows and other farm implements. In “The School for Scandal” Joseph Surface made up in “senti- mente” what he lacked in honorable sentiment. Perhaps Amerioans make up by their zeal in framing laws their failure to observe them They pase about twenty thousand every year in Congress and the State Legislatures. They make anti-cigarette acts. ‘They regulate by law the length of hotel bed sheets. They even dig up an “un- written law” and give it a veneration denied their statutes. What Mrs. Trollope said’ of this country in 1832 is just as true to-day: “It often appeared to me that the old women of a State made the lawe and the young men broke them.” nS THE RETURNING CARDINAL. cs return of Cardinal Farley to thie city with the high digni- 3 ties bestowed on him by the head of his Church is an event of historical significance which is properly celebrated by a étreet demonstration of the Catholic population and by religious and s‘wivie ceremony. Catholicism had begun to make history in this city even before the day of that Thomas Dongan, Roman Catholic Governor of New York, whose fame as “father of tho first represen- tative assembly and the charter of righta and privileges” is commem- orated in the tablet unveiled at St. Peter’s Church last fall. a As a prince of the Church which in this city has been the de- voted preceptor in character and oonduct to an immense multitude and which has more than twelve million communicants in this coun- try, and as a prelate who has greatly deserved his distinction, Cardi- Done) Farley becomes in hia return the object of @ regard that tran- soonds all lines of creed. Te is heartily welcome. ? aaeieeeenenend aeneeel SLEEPING IN CHURCH. a er fe no eacrilege nor even disrespect in falling asleep in church. That Massachusetts minister who says “let men “ go to aleep if they want to” is only anticipating the verdict “tad the cloth. But he palliates rather than vindicntes the practice “when he declares that men are “harmless when they are asleep,” WBhat they never complain about the sermon and that they are *"merely victims of warm air and reaction from a week's hustle. The case for the nap in church ie stronger than that’ It must|® < tbe, for the credit of human nature, since most church-going people "nod off at times. Why treat alumber as something to be con- emned, defended or excused? Is it not God's best gift? “He giveth His beloved eleep,” says the Psalmist, and the words are of *’Pomfort. Must a man have sentences dinned into his cars in order +o got benefit? Ina deep sleep Evo came to Adam. {res interchanged on that evening when Carlylo and Tennyson sat *amoking together, and yet both declared it had been memornble. Could a man do anything more fitting than doze in church? Could there be a sight more impressive than a congregation united in slumber’s communion? May not “an exposition of sleep” be! quite as beneficial as an exposition of Scripture? Are not the scenes | deliberately set for this Act of Grace—the lights burning low, the) kindly glooms, the pastor’s solemn intonations, the cadences of prayer and praise? The parishioner who in euch surroundings set-| gy ties down to a comfortable nap declares a mind at case and a confi-| ( dence in God and man. His figure is at one with those mortal images | of the abiding peace—the baby in his midday nap, the wife asleep by | her husband’s side, the grandsire and grandam dozing in the fire: | ght. Surely the man who elumbers tn church takes in holiness through the pores of the skin. + HEN Mr. Hitcheock has his way, and the post-office oper-) W ates the telegraph, will newspapers be excluded from use| of the wires whenever their advertising occupies more col- tins than their reading matter? would-be young! hourt; by the light ourselves, &o. | to |loom @ fright!” way | cara, ut you.

Mr. Jarr wee in a merry mood, as he had not @ thing in the world to bother him except his debdta, @ bad cold and the memory of his poss telling him this day that he was lucky to have @ job, con- sidering how poorly he was attending to it (when he had ventured to remind \that dally arbiter of hie datiy-bread Geatiny that he hed been told back in | September that the house would con- sider hie application for @ raise of sal- | ary “along about the firet of the year.”) “T guess that's all you would give for MY thoughts!” said Mrs. Jarr, rousing up. “That's my modesty,” rejoined Mr. Jarr, “for I know your thoughts were all of ma” “Don’t you flatter yourself,” said Mrs. Jerr. “My WORRIES are all about you. But just now I was wondering how I should have my new dress made, Everything te fur trimmed this season, even to han@bags.

But some people are very queer. One would think, to hear Clara Mud- rigde-Smith moan and carry on, that Jack Silver was waiting for her at the church when she slipped off in an auto- |mobile to Yonkers and married old Smith, with al) his money.” “I guess that’s the only way any one can get any of the money away from old Smith—marry him for it,” sald Mr. Jarr ruefully. “After this my motto | will be ‘Never let anybody you know marry your boss.’ LOour KNOW. wo MONTHS AGO HE Borrowed Two Bucks From ME. | HAVEN'T SREN HIM SINCE | Gharge my wife, but tf you're not care- | ful_you'l wet frear” ¢ “Well, that marriage has been @ great Gisappointment to me,” said Mrs. Jarr. “I thought sure when Clara Mudriige married old Smith that he'd do some- thing handsome for you—take you into | the firm or double your salary, or eome- thing! At least Clara should try to make him do something. “Bhe says she Goes, but that he's such a cross olf bear that by the time whe xete him to get her @ diamond necklace or @ Rew fur coat or an lee tric towm car or something she wante— he's #0 cross that she's afraid to ask him to do anything for you.
