WHY NOT ACT TOGETHER |,

The Lexow Committee 10 about to re-
convene and resume Its excellent work.
II will doubtless be continued with the
vigor and success that has hitherto
marked its progress.
But why should the searching out and
exposure Of wrong doing interfere with
the trial. conviction and punishment Of
the doors OF wrong? Why should the
Lexow Investigation, In fact, be made
the instrument for at least the tenn
porary protection and keeping In office
of the public officers II is instrumental
In proving guilty Of corrupt and criminal
acts1
The Lexow Committee can only I'M
earth corruptions with a view to the
future correction by legislation OF the
evil methods that render them possible.
II can lay the groundwork of reform In
the future. 1t cannot give us protection
in the present nor bring guilty men to
justice and rid the city of the danger OF
their continuance In ONCE.
The police trials can apply an imme-
diate remedy by driving dishonest and
unfaithful men from the force.
Mr.. Goff. able and adroit, can push a
fOllCe commissioner Ut itiIa''piy
witness into a corner, satisfy the public
mind that corrupt practices exist and
supply the investigating Senators with
good material for their report and good
grounds for urging a measure of reform
on next years Legislature.
Mr. wellman, strong and practical. can
bring guilt home to an offender and
make his punishment certain.
why should they not work together,
at one and the same time, the discover
les OF the one making easier the prac-
tically useful task of the other?
The objections made to the police
trials on the first meeting Of the Lexon
Committee were based on the suspicion
| that they might be designed to cover uT
instead of to expose crime. and to pro-
tect instead Of to punish offenders. The
results OF the trials show this suspicion
to have been unfounded. and there IL
now no reason why the two inquiries
should not proceed at the same time.
The Republican Police Commissioner
will make a mistake II they refuse tt
allow the police trials to proceed. Thu
Lexow investigation will continue unit
next February. and there is no reason
why corrupt and unfaithful ofiicer
should be granted a lease OF abused
power for the next four months.

Nothing human could have saved that
pathetic little creature down In East

earth six months, but In that short time
disease and the blights of poverty and
Summer heat had aged Its baby face
and withered Its delicate form. There
were seven in the family. The father
has had no work for the past eight
months, and the mother is too weak to
do domestic service. All Winter the
house agent had been nidulgent Finally
notice was given. The rooms had to be
cleaned. When the kalsominers arrived
