LAWBREAKING on MARGIN

A fine example of the speculative lawbreak-
ing which is becoming all too common is pre-
sented at this time in the city of Boston. There
is a law limiting the height of buildings facing
upon a certain square Some time ago, but
since the enactment Of that law. a building
was planned and erected upon that square of n
height exceeding by several feet the maximum
prescribed by the law. 1t would seem that some
objection should have been interposed in ad-
vance, or at the time of building. by the officers
charged with the supervision Of building opera
lions. but for some reason this was not done or
if done not effective The building was
run up apparently in conscious and deliberate
violation of the law. Then, to avoid possible
trouble an attempt was made to have the lille
gal act legaliZed. bill was introduced into
the Legislature for that purpose. making an
exception to the law in favor of this one law
breaking building. In some way or another
TINS extraordinary bill was pushed through both
houses of the Legislature and was presented
to the Governor for his signature The Gov
ernor most commercially vetoed it, And now
Boston is much exercised over the matter and
some are loudly threatening to have the bill
passed over the Governors veto. while others
are setting afoot an investigation of the meth
DDS employed for the passage of the bill
The sympathy of all lovers of sound govern
Heut must De with the Governor and with those
who are opposed to this bill for the legalization
of lawbreaking. 1t is difficult indeed 10 i'm
agine a more improper measure Bills for the
relief of those who have accidentally or unin-
tentionally been put in technical violation of
the law are sometimes enacted with propriety
In exceptional cases. for exceptional reasons
or purposes, exceptions may be made to laws
with propriety, provided such exception be
sought al the right time and in the Droper yyay
In the case under consideration. If the project
ors of the offending building had in advance of
building it applied for permission to exceed
the prescribed height and had demonstrated
that the public veal would be served by such
excess special bill in their behalf might well
have been enacted. But when instead of that
any one breaks the law for purely selfish pur-
poses. and does on the chance either OF not
being found out or Of lndulgently being par
doned after his lawbreaking has become an ac-
complished fact thaSa seems no reason why the

purpose he might be nominated against the
solid vote of Mr. Platt's delegates with the
reasonable expectation of adding Immensely to
the popularity of the ticket 1t is hard for any
but a Plat man 10 get a nomination in TINS
State but the mere suspicion that he is not
under Mr.. Platt's control is a most valuable
asset at the polls as was seen in the election OF
Governor Roosevelt.
1t may fairly be considered by the Convention
whether or not Mr. Bliss has other accounts
the strength to make his nomination advisable.
He has the close friendship of Mr.. Hanna to
commend him TO popular support. and he would
doubtless be able through his influential hnan-
cial connections TO raise large sums for the
campaign. Some may think, however, that he
would be as effective financially If not on the
ticket and that with the prejudice against cor
porate wealth which the Democrats are trying
to stir up it would be better to name a man
whose availability popularity with the
people instead of being distinctly his CONNER
cial and financial influence 1t may also be
said that Mr. Bliss has not been entirely con-
sistent with his own views of the impossibility
of self-respectful alliance with Mr.. Platt and
has thereby weakened himself with the great
body of Independent voters who determine the
election 1t Mr.. Blisss alliance with Mr..
Hanna which alone enabled Mr.. Platt to accom-
plish the objects nearest his heart at the begin
ming of this Administration. and has given him
substantially his own way in this State ever
since. Moreover, in 1897 Mr.. Bliss declared
that support of Seth Low for Mayor was rs
bad as being on the wrong side at Gettysburg.
OF the 10000 people who supported Seth Low
in this city. not to mention their sympathzers
elsewhere there might be a good many who
would find as much difficulty as Mr.. Plat in
forgiving bitter sayings out Of regard for the
public good.
All these are questions to be faced clearly in
forming any judgment of the strength or weak
ness of Mr.. Bliss as n vote getter and unQues
tionably vote getter rather than anything else
is needed TO secure New-York under the pecul-
lar conditions of this State at present. But if,
facing them all, the Convention thinks Mr.. Bliss
the proper person to assure for the ticket the
support of the Gold Democrats, the antitrust
workmen, the Independent reformers and all the
rest whose votes mean victory or defeat in this
State. IT need not worry about Mr.. Platt. His
resentment would be the least of the troubles 70
be met in carrying New-York. a popular notion
that nomination represented him and his par
ticular interests would present much more diff

he is admitted at all. They have been urged
TO harmonic their differences with the man
whom the St Louis Convention outlawed four
years ago, when his record of disgrace was
much shorter than ii has since become, and to
do this for the sake of the party in n mo-
mentous campaign in order that no chance OF
gaining an electoral vote may be lost. But they
reply that there is no possibility of harmony on
the basis of compromise with Addicks; thai
they are virtually asked to betray their party
and their State into the hands of a man who
makes no pretence of serving any interests but
his own. and that the inevitable result of such
a surrender would be disgracefu defeat.
If the Convention decides against the Regular
Republicans of Delaware it will not escape the
charge of putting premium on treachery and
corruption

THE DELAWARE CONTEST

misunderstanding of the position taken by
the delegates representing the Regular Ropub-
hcans of Delaware at Philadelphia has been
encouraged by some Of the dispatches concern
ing their contest with the Addicks contingent
1t is rule TO which extremely few executions
can be properly made that neither party TO
such controversy should show unwiTIfngness
10 accept the decision regularly reached after n
careful and dispaSsionate hearing, but in this
instance the Delaware Republicans who have
been opposed to Addicks for many years on
principle have unusual justification for believ-
ing that their side Of the case is the only side
there is.
They contend that the contest is between
party loyalty and treason between upright
public purposes and detestable private selfish
ness, between honest political methods and I'M
blushing knavery. They refer to indisputable
records which prove that Addicks has been
avowedly engaged for ten years in a persistent
effort to obtain political mastery in Delaware
by purchasing II at whatever price II was nee
essary to pay; that personal ambition has been
his only motive first. last and all the time that
he has repeatedly engaged to turn the State
over to the Democrats in case he failed to buy
or coerce his Republican opponents and has
more than once succeeded in keeping the base
engagement and that he has twice prevented the
admission to the United States Senate of a Re
publican admirably qualified for the place by
character and capacity They hold that such
a man cannot appear as a Republican at the
doors Of a Republican National Convention
but must appear there as a convicted traitor
and must be deliberately admitted as such If
