CITY OFFICIALS AND THE LAW

The Herald has been making a hard
fight, and it believes u good fight, for
municipal integrity, particularly in re-
spect to the conduct OF the police depart
ment. and to the enforcement of the laws.
1t has insisted that the police commits
sioners had no business, no right indeed,
to question the value, the effect OF the
wisdom of a law. If they obey their
oath of office, they are simply strictly
and literally to see that the police carry
out the letter and the spirit of the stat
utes and ordinances. The people, by
divine right, are the only judges of
whether they want a certain law or not.
If they wish it, they enact it, if they OBJ
ject to it, they repeal it. Tina. is the case
i'll nutshell.
No better commentary on the re-
cent local situation can be found
than the following extract from
an article in the last number of the
Forum, from the pen of Police Commits
sioner Roosevelt of New York-a man
who is man in all senses OF the word.
an honest man, a courageous man, a con-
scientous man.
1.-The spirit shown by tie men and the
ing tbs law is simply one manifestation
OF the feeling which brings about and is
responsible Tor lynchngs and for all the
varieties of whitecap outrages. The men
who head lynching party, and the Off
GERS who fail to protect criminals threat
ened with Iynching, always advance. as
their excuse, thaG pablo sentiment sane
tions their action. The chief offendefs
often insist that they have taken such
summary action because the fear lest the
law be not enforced against the offender.
In other words they put public senti-
ment ahead Of law in the first place;
and in the second they offer as partial
excuse for so dong, the fact that too
often laws are not enforced by the men
elected or appointed to enforce them.
The only possible outcome OF such an at
titude is lawlessness, when gradually
grows until it becomes mere anarchy
The one all-important element in good
citizenship in our count, is obedience
TO law. The greatest crimes that can be
committed against our government are
TO nut on the statute books, or TO allow
to remain there, laws that are not meant
to he enforced, and to fail to enforce the
laws that exist.
Mr.. Jacob A. Riis, in a recent article,
has put this in words so excellent that
] cannot refrain from quoting them:
That laws are made to break. not to
obey. is fact of which the street takes
early notice, and shape. its conduct ac-

But the Kicker Does Not Materialize
Easily
The following letter from A. s. Teuts-
chel to The Herald was received yester-
day and is self-explanatory:
Editor He raid You will confer great
favor on me and other readers Of your
paper, as we'll as on the visitors of East
Side park if you will kindly send re-
porter 10 personally inspect the incon-
veniences and learn of the indignities to
which the insolent conductors of tho new
electric car line force us TO submit.
A trip was made by Herald reporter
over the line in question, and to avoid
revealing his identity fare was paid in
stead of using. as he might have done. a
pass. Nothing was seen that could in
any way be condemned. and in many
ways the conductors of the line were
courteous and helpful to the passengers
under their charge.
A second trip over the line was made
for the purpose ot discovering the where
abouts Of Mr.. Teutschel, whose address
as gwen in the directory was 1907 North
Main street. The reporter failed to find
either the house or Me-. Teutschel, or
anybody con aected in the remotest man
ner with the. family history of the
Teutschels. Inquiry on the line failed to
elicit anything, and Mr.. Teutschel must
wait until he is located to have his COM
plant looked into.

THE RIGHTS OF A CYCLIST

A woman cyclist in New York has
brought suit against teamster because
he did not get out OF the way when she
rang her bell. The laws of New York
require cyclst to provide bell for his
wheel, and furthermore to ring it in or
der to give warning to pedestrians and
carriages. The woman after giving due
warning, ran into the team. but came out
second best in the affray, as her wheel
was wrecked and she was badly hurt; not
SO severely, however, but that she wants
to know why the law required er to ring
that bell. Some fine points OF law are
to be raised. Is bicycle vehicle. and
if go, has it the same rights to the streets
a. horses and carriages? Is the right of
way implied by tie law which requires
the cyclist to give warning of approach?
1t certainly cannot be that the law in
tended that the cyclist should ring the
bell in order that he should get out of
the way of himself. Then it must have
meant that the warning was to be given
that the obstructionist should move aside
and give the cycist the right of way.
On the other hand, ii a bicycle ranks
as vehicle, it baing the lighter and more
easily controlled, it devolves upon the
cyclist to keep out of the way of heavier
vehicles; for in this matter as in many
others might makes right-of wav.
The sym pathy of the crowd is always
with the other fellow and against the cy-
clist. But for this the cyclists have only
themselves to blame. So long as there is
class of idiot cyclists who think that
their only opportunity to prove their de-
ficiency in gray matter is in riding the
| crowded streets with their hands in their
hip pockets or in cutting in ahead OF
carriages and electric cars. or in speeding
around a street corner as though police
man were after them, there will be a large

Officer Tylcr's Capture

Mrs. f. McGarry, the pickpocket cap
tured by officer Tyler, Wednesday, was
arraigned before Justice Morrison yester-
day on charge of grand larceny, and her
examination set for September Sd. The
woman is said to be one OF the m ost
daring operators on the coast. Her con-
viction on the present charge seems in
evitable, as four persons other than Mr..
Tyler saw her take the purse from the
pucket of Mrs. J. Johnson.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUcTIoN.-Tbe teaching of Jesus is
strongly-linked chain. Marriage is sacred, the home
is divine institution; children are blessed, and to
be conscious children of God is to be in heaven.
a. V.I7-zo. How may one become child,
and thus find heavenl By keeping the command
ments; by doing right. To be in harmony with
nature, with ones better self, with God,-this is
heaven on earth.
C2) V.21, a. But such a condition not often
comes to one by nat iral inheritance. It can be
gained only by mighty endeavor, at great price.
The contrary passions and preferences must be
driven from the heart Selfshness is not Godlike.
1t never can be made so. Selfshness is inharmo-
NOUS with the Divine life of the soul.--To hold
riches as a steward as many rich men have done,
and are doing, is to be both child and servant of
God. To hold riches for selfish ends, is to be shut
out from the life which in its very nature is unself-
ishness.-Some of the largest and happiest souls
we know are rich people who are masters of their
riches; some of the smallest and unhappest souls
know are the misery rch who slaves of their
riches.
g. " 23-27. 1t is naturally harder for the rich
to acknowledge the brotherhood of men, and be
faithful human brothers, than for the poor. To the
rich this seems descent; to the poor may be aspir
ation.--But because the duty is greater for the
rich, and in them more important for the world its
neglect will incur the more serious spiritual
quences.-The selfishness of the rich must yet be
overcome by the Gospel. If our preaching does not
for this purpose avail Gods preaching will be effec
tive.--lt should be clearly understood that Jesus
is at enmity with riches only when riches at en-

ideal of human society is that all shall have equal

In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted, there
is still wide spread popular belief that
there existed in the Middle Ages fe-
male pope. Pope Joan, as she is called,
has even given her name to game of
cards which is mention d in Sheridan's
School for Scandal" The tradition with
regard to the female pope has been
traced back to the eleventh century, but
she is said to have lived much earlier,
Ler pontficate having taken place in the
ninth century and having lasted for more
than two years. The name she is alleged
to have assumed is John VII.

ly of the Proverbs, that riches are a reward
of righteousness and sign of the Divine
favor The disciples do not yet perceive
that Jesus is speaking, not against riches
nor the rich, as such, but against idolatry
of riches.
./esns looking nb0n them saith, MN
men it is imboSSi6le, but not a0iH God
for all things are Possible aoifh God.
Christ's preaching was not winning many
of the rich. The preaching of the apostles
did not cause many of the worldly rich to
confess their inward poverty. But Gods
preaching will be effective. God pres ches
by calamities, by punishmcnts, by humila-
tons. Gods preaching continues in the
hidden realm, to which the rich cannot
carry their riches, where all are shorn OF
merely earthly distinctions.
To save the most hardened of the rich
in his own time is an easy possibility with
God.

the sun was weak and pale" for

The Portuguese historians record "sev-
eral months of diminished sunlight" in
the year 934 A. D, and, according to
Humboldt, this uncanny period ended
with strange and startling sky phenom-

INTRODUCTION.
MARK 10: 1877.

Christ'S atOnement will become a
living truth only when we recognize in it
the eternal fact that sacrifice is the law of
life. The very Knockers at the crucifxion
unwittingly declared the principle: He
saved Others. himself he could not SAGE
Of course. How could he save himself
who had to save others? You can only
save others when you have ceased to think
of saving your own soul. You can only
bless when you have done with the pursuit
of personal happiness. Did you ever hear
of a soldier who saved his country by
making it his chief work to secure himself?
And was the Captain of our salvation to
become the Saviour by contravening that
law, or obeying it? - Property is sa-
cred. 1t is private property; if it were not
it could not be sacrificed. If it were to be
shared equally by the idle and the indus
trious, there would be no love in giving.
Property is the rich mans own.-But
there is higher Right that says, 1t is not
yours. That Voice speaks to every rich
man according as he is selfish or unset
fish: coming as condemnation or as
voice of blessing.-TO the Spirit of
the Cross alone should we look as the
remedy for social evils. When the people
of this great country, especially the rich,
shall have been touched by the Spirit of
the Cross, to largeness of sacrifice of
which they have not dreamed as yet, there
will be an atonement between the Rights
of Labor and the Rights of Property
Rarely have we dared to demand of the
powers that be, justice of the wealthy man,
and of the titled, duties. We have pro
duced folios of slavish fattery upon the
Divine Right of Power. Shame on us !
we have not denounced the wrongs done
to weakness. And yet for one text in the
Bible which requires submission and pa
tience from the poor, you will find hun
bred which denounce the vices of the rich.
Woe to us, in the great day of God, if
we have been the sycophants of the rich,
instead of the redressers of the poor mans
wrongs. From "7He Message of tie
Church to Men Of W'ealfh," BY Req. f.
