WORDS FROM VAN WICK AND
OTHERS

The campaign committee of the Citi-
zen's Union unanimously passed a reso-
lution deploring the death of Henry
George, in whom the committee recog-
nized, a pure, high minded man, an un-
selfish patriot and a brave and uncom-
promising champion of the people's
rights against political tyranny and cor
ruption.
When the news OF Henry Georges
death was received at Democratic head
quarters Of Robert A. Van Wyck. orders
were sent to all the printers, who had
been printing campaign literature for
candidate Van Wyck. to stop printing
oil documents bearing the name of Henry
George. The following was sent by
Judge Van Wyck to Mrs. George.
II am inexpressibly shocked. No
words can express my regret or my sim
cerp sympathy.
(SigneO "ROBT. A. VAN WICK"
General Tracy, the Republican nominee
for Mayor. said at the headquarters:

ate affair. I have had the highest re-
spect for Mr.. Georges philosophy.'

"Oliver Optic" Is dead. He has been
writing stories for boys for we don't
know how many years. We used TO read
them and boys before us had read them
for some time and boys have been reading
them for quarter of a century since the
years of our own indulgence The number
Of series" that he wrote Is amazing.
The number of individual volumes
perhaps surpasses that of any writer of
books that ever lived. In later years his
books were opposed by educators and
persons interested in the teaching and
training Of the young not because they
were vicious but because as IL was claimed,
they did youthful reader no particular
good except TO entertain him, and the
same entertainment with rather more
benefit could bc had from the works OF
some other writer's. Yet Mr. Adams
himself was a schoolmaster and an cduoa.
tor, he had Travelled extensively and wa.
equipped to write books full Of valuabl,
information. II we remember rightly
Some Of his books actually did have
good deal OF such matter of information
and benefit 20 the young reader in them
We are sure Of this because we found IN,
chapters of this Kind frequent stumbllu,
blocks in the course Of our reading Aftc
some practice. however we became abl,

Tho attorney general of the State of
Kansas is of the opinion that tho new
antitrust law of that State applies to
labor organizations and very likely it
docs. 1t is fact, of course, that the
average labor organization is of the
nature OF trust, tending to restrict the
output OF the commodity of labor, to stifle
competition and TO raise prices to the
consumer, the capitalist Nevertheless,
we believe that organized labor is good
thing in fundamental principles, but
whether good or not IL must ever bow TO
the law of supply and demand tho same
as any other trust, and the attempt TO
control it by legislation of the character
of the Kansas measure is foolish and can
do no god to anybody.

Indeed, these are rare times. a thief
is captured prowling around the streets
Of Providence lie has broken into and
stolen from at least two houses wherein
feposcd in fancied security the humble citi-
zen, the citizen whose costume and quiet
demeanor tho policeman fain would imi-
tate for the purpose of stealing unawares
upon the willy burglar man. The thief Is
captured as he prowls. 1t is good thiEg.
There Is a prico upon his head. Money is
in him. The purse offered hy an alarmed
community is generous. So the thief is
captured. The capture is made by faith
full officer Likely enough the purse was
not in his mind when he seized upon the
prize. He did his duty. He would have
done it before II he had CHANGED TO run
across the thief. So it is TO be believed
would any member of the force of police
men and detectives under similarly favor
ably conditions, namely had the thief been
where they were at the same time, or so
nearly so as to insure success to stern
chase
Well, we are all making fine hurrah
out of the episode of the capture of the
thief We are printing columns about 1t
in our newspapers We print the portrait
Nh. fslI
citizens in and out of uniform or dis
gui sed i'm clothes that tend TO make us
appear other than what we are, may see
what kind of fellow IL is that can corner
"a thief. He is good looking fellow and
is entitled to much credit. Maybe he viii
be mentioned for promotion at the first
opportunity. 1t is well. e.
But we can but feel that some day
when perhaps two burglars are captured
the occasion will find us quite at loss for
words and newspaper space to fifty COM
memorato the event. And It occurs TO
us that it is after all only the simple duty
of policeman, as it usel to bo under
stood at least to capture thieves. To
seize them before crime has been con-
summated, il possible, but at any rate
to seize them and incarcerate them.
1t is to be hoped that this old-fashioned
notion will again possess the police de-
partment and its practice not be SO rare
that, when it is engaged in, our special
wonder will be excited and we will make
"A considerable fuss about it, We are pro.
foundly convinced that the next best
thing to protecting the life and property
of the citizens of a community that the
police force can engage in, is the capture
of any persons whose actions shall have
placed such life and property in jeopardy.

GREATER NEW YORK.

| The bill creating the monster munici-
pality Of Greater New York has passed
the upper branch of the Assembly. 1t
will Immediately receive the signature
of Governor Black and tho approval of the
respective Mayors and local authorities of
the various committees that will form the
new city. The consolidation waits only
upon these signatures.
The imposing document bringing to-
gether under ono government New York
Brooklyn, Staten Island, Long Island
City and all the towns and communities
i'm the counties OF Kings, Richmond, New
York and large slice of Queens met
with an approval that was remarkable,
considering all the different factors in
volvcd in it's framing. The bipartisan
police commission provision excited not
alone the chief opposition but practically
all the opposition that displayed any
strength The work of the charter com
mission was enviably successful
The government of this remarkable city,
which will have an area of 800 square
miles and be the second city in the world
in population, with more than 1900, 600
persons within its boundaries, will not
differ very materially from that of the
present city of New York. Three Mayors
now governing in the territory will go
out of office and one will be elected next
fall Elected by so tremendous constit-
uency he will possess extraordinary
powers. The commission which laid down
the safe guards (which surround him
meant him to be a Mayor in fact as well
as in name He will, when elected, hold
Office for four years.
The distinguishing feature Of the new
city is that II will enjoy greater meas
urc of home rule than was ever conceded
to municipal organization in the State
In future there will be no necessity to go
to the State capital for permission TO
issue bonds for public improvements. The
local Legislature will attend 10 that.
The municipality will In many respects
be n sovereign state Of itself
The Greater New York charter provides
for two legislative houses. IL also cstab-
fishes minority representation. The upper
house Is composed Of 20 members elected
from large council districts, containing
an average population Of more than
$50, 90, and lower house, consisting OF
60 members, one elected from each Assem-,
bly, district in the new territory. The
