One Month, One Year. One Month VOLUME 5: 29 NO. 18,6: * POLICEMAN’S HONOR. OW that a movement to reform the police in this city is fairly N under way, let’s face the truth—the whole truth. In the earlier stages of the police graft scandal stirred 7 up by the murder of Rosenthal, people said: “Yes, we know high police circles are rotten. But the rank and file ere sturdy, honest men. Don’t blame them.” Well, what about these “sturdy, honest men”? Why have they tolerated the back door graft and trickery that has gone on under their noses? Can anybody for an instant believe that the ordinary | policeman who walke up ‘and down his beat day after day doesn’t | know all about the crooked joints and what is going on inside them | and why nobody is to disturb them? Is there a policeman in New ; York so innocent that he doesn’t know tho secrets of housefronts . ‘and the habits of people that he passes hour after hour, week in, | ck out? Or one so “sturdy and honest” thet he thinke the under- | “world pays the rent with whist parties and charades? Nobody | knows the crookedness and crime behind the brownstone so shrewdly | as the “sturdy, honest” policeman on the beat! “But he dare not tell,” says some one. of his superiors.” What kind of “sturdy honesty” {s that? Is he paid and trusted | to shield his superiors or to keep law and order for the community that employs him? When his captain reports to headquarters “All olean and quiet in this precinct,” and the policeman whose every round takes him past twenty notorious doors winks an eye and holds his tongue—is that “sturdy honesty”? “But his sense of honor! No policeman will do anything to hurt another!” Is this the “sense of honor” needed among men set to guard the city’s peace and security? What sort of “sense of honor” is it which bids « body of keen-eyed soldiers of the law stand silent while part of their number clasp hands with crooks, stuff their pockets with the profite of crime, and laugh and sneer behind the backs of the citizens who trust thom? Is this the “sense of honor” New York admires i) police? It is «..ue to drop all twaddlo about the “9,500 sturdy, honest policemen on the beat.” The “sturdy, honest policeman” is “wiso” —“wiser” than anybody clse—to what is going on in the shadows. : No real veform can set him on one side. His “honor” needs scour- ing. Policeman’s honor should be higher than that of thieves. rt PRUDENCE AND PATRIOTISM. T° PARIS MATIN prints a diagram showing the comparative “Think of the wrath | depreciation of English, French and German government stock since 1896. The French Rente has suffered least, having dropped only about 12 per cent., but the total loss to its holders amounts to some $600,000,000. The holders of English Con- sols have lost more than a third of their holdings, or about 1,100,000,000. German stock has gone off about 20 per cent. The credit of France, in spite of general depreciation, {s still superior to that of all other nations. The strength of the French Rente lies not only in t.c stability of the national credit but in the wonderful extent of its market, The instinct of every French worker, even the humblest stocking-saver, is to put his little hoard at the earlicst possible moment into government securities. He knows that he can realize on his stock, no matter how much or how little he holds, at any moment he may wish. Only forty years ago France paid # war debt of $1,000,000,000. The nation is a lesson to the world that habits of thrift and saving in s people, along with und¥ine faith in their country, make a com- bination hard to beat. _—_——_-4¢-2—__——. CAUSE AND EFFECT.

(The New York World), No. 36-—MARY PHILIPSE, the Beauty Whom Washington Loved. 1E was the daughter of a man who owned all the land between Spuyten Duyvil and the Croton River, and who lived there in the days before the Revolution like a feudal lord. He was Frederick Philipse, grandson of @ Dutch carpenter, and he was one of the richest land owners in America. Mary Philipse, his daughter, was the delle of all the surrounding country. As a girl she received ardent love vows and proffers of marriage from the best “catches” in the New York colony. Nor were such offers due alone to her father’s great wealth. For she was very beautiful, and her imperious yet kindly manner had an irresistible charm all {ts own, She had dark hatr and eyes, an oval face with a rather heavy jaw and @ If her exalted position made her haughty her warm heert outweighed any such defect. In 1756, when Mary was but twenty-six, she went in the great coach, with its four horses and its escort of outriders, southward through the wilderness to visit her brother-in-law, Beverly Robinson, in New York. The city waa in those days a Ute Cluster of twisting, natrow streets (chiefy unpaved), and the bulk of ft still lay below Wall street. Where Fourteenth street now crosses was forest and farmland. Young people used to travel north, far beyond the chy, and skate on Collect Pond, near where the Tombs Prison and the Criminal Courts Building now the New York of 1756 would seem a very ugiy, very déety, stand. To modern ey very ill built country town, but to oolonial folk then it appeared a brilifant metropolis. At Beverly Robinson's house Mary met another guest, a young man of twenty-four, gigantic, angular, fine looking. He was Col. George Washington, @ Virginia militia oMeer who waa on his way to Boston upon business and who had stopped en route to vielt his old school chum Robinson. Washington hed already won local fame as an Indian fighter and as alde-de- camp to Braddock in the tatters ill-fated expedition against the French. More- Mi hedite was © well-to-do Virginia planter and was accounted a good match for any irl. He proceeded at once to fall in love with Mary Philippe. And, according to the story, he had known her but five days when, in all the fervid and flowery language of those flowery and fervid days, he besought her to become his wite: Whether Mary did not care for him or whether she considered @ mere planter and militia officer was no fit match for so great an heiress as herself 1s not on record, But the fact rematns that she most emphatically refused the opportunity of becoming the futuro “mother of her country,” and so decisive and final was ‘her refusal that Washington at once left Robinson's house. He did not, howéver, lose track of the girl he loved, but entrusted hie secret to a friend, whom he bade write to him all importam newe of her. And there was enough to write. For even as she had been a rural belle, Mary now became one of the most admired and sourht-after girl Aittle social world.
