FFORTS of the District-Attorney’s office to break up organized E jury-bribing in this corner of the State should press on to substantial results. Detectives mingling with talesmen in various courts throughout the city secured this week the arrest of one Supreme Court juror and his “fheler” alleged to have been caught in the act of “divvying up” « toll of marked money. But thie is only a beginning. The Metropoli- tam Traction scandal disclosed the fact that juries are “fixed” in damage cases to a degree that no one had believed possible. The detectives claim to know one man who keeps a eet of books containing thé pames of more than five hundred talesmen who oan be bribed to | “hang” 0 case. Tampering with jurors is one of the most serious crimes com- | mitted against a modern community. Upon the honesty of twelve, good men and true we rest to-day the gravest of our social responsibili- | tle, our faith in the just und true application of our laws. + Vile rascals who corrupt jurymen hack at the roote of aacred institutions.

WAS only a question cf time when the progressive public taxicab service which the city owes to The Evening World would sweep out of ite way the last remnante of taxicab monopoly which defy the law, cling to exorbitant fares and steal privilege under the ordi- nance they pretend to ignore. The Yellow Taxicab Company has had ample warning from city | Magistrates who have repeatedly fined unlicensed chauffeurs of its ublicensed cabs for soliciting fares at public stands on flimsy pretexts. The officials of this company are now face to face with the conse- quences of their own pigheadedness. ¢ License Commissioner George H. Bell and Assistant Corporation Conneel Farley are out of all patience with the evasions of the Yellow Taxicab Company and announce that they wil) formulate a definition | of public hacking which will operate against every company, big and little, that now seeks to defy the authorities. Commissioner Bell, declares that he will keep after the Yellow and other offending taxi companies night and day “until they come around to the public’s way of thinking”: | Tf necessary the number of inspectors will be doubled. It will be @ fight to the finish, And I predict that the city, with the very able help of The Evening World and the backing of the courts, will come out on top. The Evening World convinced New York that it could have, like other capitals of the world, a uniform, well regulated taxicab service with decreasing fares. The present ordinance has proved an over- whelming success in inaugurating e broader, more popular taxi service at lower ra More people use taxicabs than ever before. Inde- pendent taxicab proprietors ask only to be protected in serving the public under the law. And this is but the beginning of a service that will grow wider, better and cheaper. A year ago The Evening World said of the taxicah companies which refused to comply with the ordinance: Let them push on to their own destruction. As long as these companies have had their way so long have graft, extor- tion, double-dealing end sloveniiness befouled the taxicab ser vice of the city. t The plain truth fs that taxicab monopoly wants what it has always wanted—a narrow, privileged taxicab service at _ @Zorbitant rates for a few hotel guests and others who don't care what they pay. On the other hand, the people of New York have decided to have a progressive, popular service which will provide up-to-date cabs, courteous drivers ‘and low rates for everybody. The taxicab companies are only blindly fighting their way @m to a moment when they can expect neither mercy nor quarter.

A LANKY GIANT twenty-five years of azo was postmaster at the Mlinots village of New Salem in 1834. He was studying law and playing his part in local politics during his few spare hours. And besides all these occupations he found time to fall in love with another man's sweetheart. The youthful postmaster was Abraham Lincoin. The girl was Anne Mayes Rutledge, third of the nine children of old James Rutledge, the local tavern ,keeper. Anne was a local belle. She had many wooers. At first she does not seem to have cast a second glance at the uncouth young postmaster. Her heart was given to a well-to-do stranger, John McNeill, around whom hung a mystery. No one knew who he was or whence he came, John asked Ann to marry him and she consented, He told i ‘secrecy that his name was not McNelll but McNamar, and that he had fel his Eastern home and changed his name because of a family quarrel, that the quarrel had recently been patched up and that soon he was gol back home to bring his widowed mother out to a farm he had bought MARR! her near New Salem. “That duty done,” he wrote to Ann, “you and I will be married.” With this promise he started East. Soon his let- ters ceased. Ann haunted the post-office whenever the Eastern matl wan due. And there she and Lincoln grew better and better acquainted, People had a way of confiding their troubles to Lincoln. Ann soon found herself telling him the story of her love affair with John McNeill and her doubts about his return. ‘These doubts were shared by all New Salem. It was a gonsippy little place, People began to whisper that the absent McNeill was a highwayman, @ fugitive from justice, a bigamist. \ (As @ matter of fact, he was none of these things, The account of Bis | fife that he had given to Ann was the truth. A lofk and dangerous ilinens during the journey east had kept him from writing to her. After many navotdable delays he actually returned to New Salem, bringing his mother with him. But he arrived too late.) ‘ Ann listened to the neighborhood gossip about her absent lover. ®he fistened still more attentively to Lincoln's tender words of sympathy for her sorrow, And in time she grew to forget McNeill and fall in love with the man who had go long and so hopelessly adored her. She and Lincofh became engaged about a year after MoNeill's departure. But Lincoln could not support a wife. He was penniless, deep in & slough of debt and with few prospects. They were both young—he twenty- six and she but twenty-two. Lincoln expected to be admitted to the bar within a year. And he and Ann planned to marry as soon as his law practice would permit. For @ too-brief space they were very happy together, thease two hopeful, penntless young lovers. But long before Linco!n was ready to claim Ana as his wife she fel ill, She went into a gentle “decline.” Country doctors tn that day were for the most part an ignorant lot. Those at New Salem could do nothing for the sick girl and she died on Aug. 25, 1835. Lincoln, who was absent from town, had been sent for in a hurry and reached New Salem in time to spend one last hour alone with bis dying sweeheart. He came out of her death chamber with a look of settled melancholy stamped upon his face—a look that never again in all the remaining thirty years of his life wholly left his eyes. For a time his friends feared he would go mad My Heart through grief., He spent his days and nights wander- id There.’ ing alone in the forests or brooding over Ann’s grave, recognizing no one, refusing to eat, drink or sleep. Little by little the first keenness of the heartbreak lifted from his soul. But, years afterward, as he was talking to William Greene, his chum, one stormy night, he suddenly buried bis face in his hands and burst into a fit of uncontrolled weeptng. “The thought of the rain and the snow beating on that poor girl's grave,” he sobbed, “is more than I can bear!” One still later a friend, walking through the Concord Cemetery, me upon TAncoln weeping beside Ann's unmarked grave. Jincoin rose as his friend appronched and pointing to the little grassy mound, said almply: My heart te buried there.” During the Ct Ww when the cares of the nation crushea down | heavily on Ldncoin's shoulders, he said to a friend, while speaking of his early sweetheart: ‘T loved her.
