HETHER the New York police have so much timo on their hands that they can be used to light street lamps, count passengers fn the subway and compile statistics as to the os: and quality of butter, eggs and vegetables is a question the Bureau of City Inquiry puts up to the Police Commissioner. In a letter to the Mayor, Director Bullock of the Inquiry Bureau ‘ points anew to “the failure of the Police Department to solve mur+ ders or check a wave of killing probably without a parallel in the history of the city.” ‘ Of 179 murders in Manhattan last year seventy-five are still un- @olved. More than one hundred killings in Manhattan alone have “added to the city’s list of unsolved homicides.” Baff was shot and Killed in broad daylight seven months ago. Not ono step forward has been taken in finding his murderers. During the five months from Jan. 1 to Juno 1, 1915, sevonty-nine murders were committed in the| sity. “Tn only afew cases has efficient police work been done.” | Statistics compiled by this bureau tndicate that murder | has become one of the safest crimes to commit. | Discussing possible causes, the bureau finds: Too many patrol- | men transferred from congested sections to casy assignments in out- lythg districts; an impossible number of rules and regulations which & policeman is supposed to learn; failure of the new plan by which detectives are detached from police stations and isolated in homicide burewus. What does Police Commissioner Woods claim his changes in the partment have accomplished? Merely to balance the appalling list | of unsolved murders, increase of efficiency in other directions would | + have to be marked indeed. Is it so? Une of the best safeguards against robbery and every other sort of crime the city ever had was the fixed post. The Oommissioner himeelt said it was the possible system of patrol. Has anything yet compensated for its loss? a ee WHO ARE THEY? HERE are rumors that the Department of Justice expects to find American interests and American money behind the frustrated plot to turn Huerta loose in the Mexican mix-up. The Hvening World hae repeatedly urged that if this Govern- ment would put the Secret Service on the trail of some of the people in the United States whose dollars and riflos have helped to keep troubled nation. If the Huerta plot pute the Department of Justice on the right eoent it will prove a lucky incident at a lucky moment. GE Sey SSE ERS CHOOSING THE WISER WAY. OWER rates on the Fort Leo Ferry aro promised by « nearly L completed agreement between the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey and the “Fighting Mayors” of Eastern Bergen Oounty. If approved by the Bergen County Board of Froehglders the reduction is expected to save $50,000 a year to those who use the daily. The long campaign carried on by The Evening World and its allies on both sides of: the river to secure cheaper ferry rates appears te have taught the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey a lesson their advantage: ‘To keep on good terms with the public is better than to defy it “and many per cent. more profitable. By deciding to grant lower ferry fares at once the New Jersey corporation will save itself money and unpopularity that sooner or later has to be figured in terms of meney. A long fight in the courts would be costly and gain the @ompany only delay. ¢ t ny New Yorkers who journsy up to Bear Mountain to inspect newly opened Palisades Interstate Park will find them- selves amazed that the proposal to locate a prison on this spot should ever have been considered, river lies the lake and back of the lake & sone of scenery second in beauty to none other sites where they can reclaim or utilise land that would otherwise be good Mr. George W.

Don't you think he should recite French poetry, too?” “Well, It would be nice, He's much smarter than Aubrey Prink, It © N a recent article I quoted ® letter from a man stgning he told about the great love he had for a wife who ox- pected him to take that love for granted, since she claimed that hoving been married for so many years tt was “foolishness” to show It. She never greeted him with any mark of affection and was annoyed at his attentions. He explained how much he respected and believed In her and what an excellent mother she was to his children—yet how unhappy he was at the seeming love that had waned. In answer to this comes a letter from a woman who signs herself “One Who Has Fought and Won.” It says in part: “A little more than a year ago I met a Mr, ‘Starved,’ professionally at first, then we became friends. After about three months of friendship he told me that he loved me. I reminded him that, being married, he had no right to think, much less tell me of his love. He then told me his story, which was {dentical with that of the Mr, ‘Starved’ mentioned In your ar- ticle. “| wonder if wives of that stamp realize the suffering they cause both to their husbands and per- haps to some other women? My friend, manlike, was not only will ing but anxious to forget his thes and throw conventionality to the winds for the love that was reciprocated, (I could not help telling him that I did care.) “Though 1 am free to love whom I would, I was forced to remem- ber that he was not, and to do all in my power to prevail on him to be true—to what? A woman who is utterly indifferent to him.

Yes, my dear woman, you did right. No matter how beautiful your friendship, it was the honorable and wise thing to give him up. Two such wrongs never made one right, however prudish it may seem. No woman may rightfully take thet which is pledged to another until that pledge is written off the books. Where there is a just reason tor such tles to be broken there is always ® way to accomplish it, especially when there are no wee ones to consider, Some day happiness must come .o such # woman as this—a woman who is willing to sacrifice to do the thing she believes is honest. These is a law of compensation, also a law of balance, But there isymore to be sald about the woman who has ceased to love and to keep the pact she made when she took him ‘for better and for worse.” When, oh, when will such « woman understand that there js nothing so dead as a dead love? And when, oh, when will she see herself as in a look- ing glass and realize what a weak creature she is who goes on day after day living with a husband who hungers for the love which she de- nies—a woman who holds on solely for the provision he makes for her, that in turn makes her the ever-pres- ent parasite! Good wife, if you really love your husband and are a bit tired of him, take a vacation away from him for a time, Then, when you return, let him know you love him by every token that can make it so. No people can enjoy @ love that they feel is coming to them, It must actually arrive, Should you find that there is no spark of the old devotion left, then arrange matters with him accordingly, Com- plete understanding {s the only, safo and sensible way, There is so much sunshine In the world to be had for both that it is bad business brooding through toil some days about the domestic di aster that each feels must come at last, Frankness is the only lubricant that keops the marriage wheel from too much friction. ‘ re sen A Prins Ei “No You Don’t!” 3% cwentns, 3 By J.
