It IL sometimes little surprising to
note the things that people will do TO
escape fuss" Good-natured New
York merchants testify to paying black
mail to escape ''fussing' with the police
over sidewalk blockades. Ex-Supt. Cline
tells the armor-plate investigators that
he changed reports at Carnegie's to
avoid 'fussing'' with Government on
Gals. who might be too particular.
There are men who consider themselves
good citizens. and who yet forfeit their
right of franchise to save themselves
the fuss OF going to the polls. Isn't
Il possible that the time has arrived
when a little "fussing" will be for the
interest of all hands?

CR0KER's REGRET.

Mr.. Richard Croker Is enjoying him
SELF In Ireland and confirms the story
OF his intention to return to New York
by the Majestic. He brings home with
him one regret; that the Libel law In
the United States Is not like the Eng
fish law. SO that he might bring n GRIM
inal libel suit against those inauisitive
journals that insist upon knowing how
he got 1t. and persist in pressing upon
him the question where did 1t come
from?
This ought not to worry Mr.. Croker.
There Is probably not single news
paper in New York that would inter-
pose any technical defense to a libel
suit IL Mr. Croker should think 1T to
bring one. Any of them would, no
doubt. be happy to meet Mr.. Croker
In court OF justice. giving him all
the advantage he might hope to de-
rive from Tammany Judges.
But there is one thing for which Mr.
Croker ought to be duly thankful that
the laws of the United States affecting
the manner in which II is got are not
as severe nor as strictly enforced in
the United States as they are In Eng
land. Otherwise the dread OF the in
vestigating committees, supposed to
have caused his mysterious departure
for Paris and the Grand Prix. would
have kept him on the other side of the
Atlantic and the news of the consulta-
ton between Mayor Gilroy and Bourke
Cochran and the danger threatening
his Tammany cronies would not have
been sufficient to induce him to hurry
back as rapidly rs he went away.
The question of interest now Is will
Mr.. Croker be able to get back into the
Tammany leadership as easily as be
got out OF it? .1''
