T CAN NEVER be said that New York has not appreciated I its prevent Mayor. The city has always been quick to see and praise his shrewd judgment, to laugh at his sallies, to bear with his frequent and often extreme irascibility. We read with zest his letters, we listen to his lectures on politeness, we are glad to have him “merry and bright.” “mM Still, the city cannot forget that its lively Mayor is also ita chief executive—its responsible, chosen officer and public servant at the head of a metropolis on the eve of becoming the greatest in the world. It has honored him by laying upon him great powers—also grave responsibilities The city likes to see ite Mayor happy and witty. It does not, however, ‘relish his extraordinary and persistent levity on serious subjects, such as the investigation of ita disgraced and dicredited police department—matters which should rather bow the Mayor's heed with care and sober reflection than lift it in sarcastic laughter. When the Mayor of New York talks about the “gaiety of holding office,” assures an audience that the difficulties of his great position “weigh pretty lightly on him,” and dismisses the police investigation with a slighting sarcasm about “Sipp the Blood,” the people of } York are neither amused nor pleased. They see little fun in thie jaunty cynicism on the part of their Mayor. On the contrary, at his age and from his acute intellect the city finds it increasingly hard to condone or comprehend such antics, re Or wore The search for Venuses seems to be spreading over the world. ‘The happiest men find theirs without ever knowing the standard measurements. a. Sos OH, YES, WE ARE, MR. PERKINS. [vsiere has taken us from the frying pan into the fire,-if we believe Mr. George W. Perkins, who has seen a fairish bit of investigation in hie day. ‘Take the Standard Oil Company,” says Mr. Perkins. “It iw supposed that we have disintegrated the Standard Oi! Company. Are we betier off as.a people because we have smashed the Standard Oil Company?” Yee, Mr. Perkins, we are. We may not have put that great com- petition-crushing monster out of business; we may not have dis- solved at a touch an immense system whose intricate ramifications and underground pipe connections it took yeara to build and conceal. | Bat we HAVE put the fear of God and justice into incipient trust bailders who in another score of years would gladly have gathered one by one into their clutches industries that eupply the needs of the people. We may not have cheapened the price of oil, but we have stopped cheapening the authority of law and honesty over the big business of this country. We ARE better off, Mr. Perkins. 0 “Insanity does not mean disease,” says the superintendent of the Government Hospital ‘or the Insane at Washington. “Kt is a legal and social term stigmatizing persons in the community who do certain things in a manner which alarms the remainder of society. The mentally deranged are merely out of harmony. with social con- ditions.” \ What's the upshot? Does he want to shut more of us up or let & lot of insiders jose? a ANOTHER BIRD, BY JINKS! THE B.R.T!

The pary took formal possession of the mountainous disirict, as part of Virginia, and—so runs the old chronicle—they celebrated the fact by drinking eleven different kinds of wine, ‘Then, with heavier heads, but lighter hearts, the party went back to their comfortable homes, leaving the western district as they had found it—an unsettled wilderness.
