The Crossing Policeman.

In his action in the division of a reward
offered by Virginia authorities for the ap-
prehension of fugitive murderer Major
Sylvester uncovered a fact which should
be seriously considered by the Commits
sioners. 1t appears that the woman who
claimed the reward for having first seen
and pointed out the fugitive asked a rapid
transit crossing policeman to arrest him.
and that this officer refused on the ground
that it was not his province to make ar
rests. Fortunately. the man was later Sc
cured. partly through the enterprise of the
woman and partly as a result of a detee-
tive's active search. But the fact remains
that as far as the crossing policeman was
concerned the murderer might still have
been at large, although he had passed
within arms reach. Does not this consti-
tute a menace to good order TO allow a.
uniformed policeman to stand unmoyed in
the heart of the city in sight of crime and
criminals? The fact that the officer is on

When Mr. Vest in the Senate the other

tention # the Philippines when that ques-
ton first arose. The Star ventured tae opin-

SMELLS Conviction.

The conviction of Smell was directly in
the interests of public safety. His crime
was atrocious beyond comparison. 1t
shocked and sickened the entire COM
munity. To excuse it on the ground of
insanity of the peculiar type averred in
this case would have been seriously men,
acing to society. While there may be
wide range of opinion as to the precise
righteousness of the insanity plea in gen.
eral. there can be but little question in the
public mind that this sudden FORM which
comes without warning and passes with
out leaving trace. is too like ordinary rage
and fury to be given the solemn indorse-
ment of the law and the jury. The govern
ment's case was admirably handled despite
the trying character of the defense, which
tended to insinuate a doubt into the minds
of the jurymen Notwithstanding the proof
of the crime. The district attorney and
his assistants are entitled to congratula-
ton upon their work. which makes for
greater security and higher morality in
the District.

Th, address delivered by Postmaster Cen
er.tI Smith before the Union League Club
of Philadelphia Tuesday night was an I'M
usually lucid and convincing argument in
favor OF American retention of the Philip
pines. The Atkinsonjaus will probably de-
clare that Mr.. Smith takes a sordid view
of The subject. He dwells upon the i'm
p"rtance of the opening markets of the
orient. from which American enterprise is
expecting large returns. and to which the
philippines will afford an excellent step
FinG-Stone. and as well upon the enormous
value of the archipelago itself. We are
there. as Mr.. Smith points out, in cir
cumstances honorable to ourselves: and
il a>much as the islands, though previously
urnonsids red by US. fit so admirably into
our purposes and prospects with regard to
eastern trade. We owe it to our interests
- improve our opportunity to the fullest.
This Is true in every particular. And it
may be said that this so-called sordid view
j. only common sense view of d prac-
,.cal situation. No friend of expansion need
fear The frankest avowal of the truth. If
there We're nothing in the east for us-no
markets. nor the hope of any-and if the
Philippine archipelago We're a waste GER
tain or likely TO become a burden. we
should be considering matters in a differ
eng light from what We are. 1t would still
l.. our duty TO remain and establish order
and make life and property safe. But be-
yrnd that We probably would not care
to go.
As the case stands. however. our duty
and our material interests go hand in hand
The markets of the east are our hope Tor
the future. Everything seems to assure
that in a few years they will offer rich
return for American activities. and that We
shall be the foremost trading nation to THAI
quarter Of the world. The Philippines are
ours. and our duty to their people to other
powers and TO ourselves. requires that we
administer their affairs until the .nhaoi-
tants. still yielding allegiance to this gov
eminent. shall be able to fill the posts
Of responsibility themselves. There will be
nothing in American occupation but bene-
fl to everybody concerned, and no other
pcs sible arrangement could 50 fully or so
rapidly develop the resources Of the coun-
ny.
Mr. Smiths address IS no less strong in
argument than well fortified with statis-
tics II ranks with the notable delivera .ces

There should Be a Limit.

From the New York Times.
1t is certainly questionable whether Agui-
naldos lies are fit matter to be printed at
the public expense for dissemination as an
anti-imperialistic campaign document. The
privilege of such publicity has never been
accorded to any other enemy of the United
States, We believe. at least to no other en-
envy in arms against the government. AL
though the administration has nothing to
fear from the fullest discussion, and al
though ''muZzling'' is not an American
practice-qute the contrary-it is obvious
that considerations of decency require that
there should be a limit somewhere.

The questions at issue with regard to the
location Of the new municipal building for
the District reduce themselves to very sim
pie terms. There is absolutely no doubt
as to the need for the structure. That is
conceded by Legislators, administrators and
citizens alike. 1t IS demonstrated both by
the prevailing conditions and the rent roll.
Therefore. the solitary point to be deter
mined by Congress is as to the place where
on to build. Here again the issue is clear.
Shall the building go to Judiciary Square
along with 4 new court house or shall it
be placed on Pennsylvania avenue where
1t may add to TIE beauty of the city with
out detracting from its usefulness or con-
Venience?
There is really one argument only to be
raised in behalf of placing the structure on
the city hail. site. that of economy in
land But this may prove in practice a
false economy. 1t is estimated that a suit
able site on Pennsylvania avenue incIud-
ing entire square Of ground-which
should henceforth BE- rigidly considered as
a minimum area for public building
could be purchased for about 800. 900 1t
has been further estimated that to erect
an adequate building for both the munich
pa offices and the courts would cost fully
A.poWn while for no more than So JO1 go
a municipal building of proper size and
character could be erected separately Add
ing TO this the cost Of an avenue site IL is
plain that the plan Of separate construction
would leave the government and the Dis
trict 81. 10000 to the good.
There are many reasons to be urged
against joint construction. The munich
pal building should be made distinctive. IT
should stand apart as the type of the eov-
eminent OF the nations city. For sanitary
and practical. considerations, aside from
this sentiment, however, the plea for sepa-
