Tho story which MARTIN TAYLOR. tho

The story which MARTIN TAYLOR, the
Brooklyn contractor. tells about his services in
a scheme to corrupt the ballot boxes after the
election of 1916 in the interest Of ADRIAN II.
DALEY. candidate for Surrogate who failed 10
get the certificate. is one Of the deepest concern
TO the voters OF Brooklyn. There seems to be
no reason for TAYLoR's accusing himself Of
being a thief and a scoundrel. and yet he does
so under OATH and swears that he stole a bunch
Of keys capable Of unlocking every ballot box
In the city that he gave these keys into the
hands Of one THOMAS F. FARRELL. at present a
clerk under Surrogate DALEY; that FARRELL
informed him that the keys were to bo given to
certain police officers TO stun the ballot boxes in
the police stations. and that he heard CONVERSE
tions which led him Ia believe that the crime
had been committed by the two police officers.
This is u singular story TO concoct. and careful
investigation alone can determine its quality.
But why should MARTIN TAYLOR accuse himself

The Cleveland HcrdM assails THE SUN for
attacking the army with characteristic per-
sstence." and states as an argument against u
reduction Of the costly military establishment.
that the regular army is so small that II scat
tered over tho country there would not be one
man 10 q township" The argument might
have a point 10 II II the regular army was n
police force; then the generals. colonies. and
captains who frisk in Washington bathrooms
and dance attendance on the shoddy court
might do something for their salaries by act
ing as patromcn aud town constabes. But.
as it is the army is OF no benefit 10 anybody ex-
cept the soldiers and officers who are too lazy
or too worthless TO earn living as most Of the
people who support the army have to earn n ly-
ing-by honest labor. The army is the breeding
place Of a military aristocracy alien in tradition
and feeling to popular institutions. and as The
sun has already said. ii is q standing reproach
10 the advocates II reform and retrenchment
that. while every part Of the public service eX-
ccpt the army has been subjected TO the disc-
plinc Of economy the great and costly military
machine, with its magnificent STAFF and super
numerary officers. remains intact.
