Society's Warning Note.

MoN o6V 'iNii-
ization was horrified at the
Il disclosure that In Paterson,
n. j.. four men, two OF
them married, one the father of grown
daughters, one the son Of a family
which had afforded him every oppor-
tunity of education and culture, and
ALL drawn from q familiar and not
from an unnatural environment. had
united in the commission of a crime
of such vicious and inhuman a charac-
ter that its details can hardly be
limited at. What was even worse, II
was established that crimes similar in
prompting, II not in result, had been
not uncommon In that city, as well as
In many other cities where the eS-
tremes of loafing rich and underpaid
poor presented an inviting field for the
devil.
Today, by a swift but accurate oper-
alton of her legal machinery, which
should serve as a model to all the
other states of the union, New Jersey
is enabled to point to the fair trial
and conviction of the criminals in the
case of the assault and murder OF
Jennie Bosschieter as a token that her
laws are not to be broken with i'm.
punity. From the standpoint Of the
student of court procedure the case
presents much to interest and to
please. 1t may we'll be asked, IL the
law can be vindicated thus quickly
and cheaply In one state not inhabited
by a race of people different from the
population of the other states, why
should Jersey justice remain o. unique
speciality:
But on its social side the case is not
so cheerful. 1t suggests the disauiet-
ing inquiry whether, in the conditions
and tendencies of our modern indus
trial life, with its unhumane overem-
phasis upon the individual as simply
one of many units engaged in ma
chine-like labor, and with its cruel
drafts upon womanhood for the earn
ing of family bread, there is to be
found the best atmosphere in which
to rear families, inculcate morals and
safeguard with chivalry and reverence
the women who are to he the mothers
OF the race. 1t Is prosy and old,
fashioned yet it is true to say thai
where womanhood is not respected
society plants seeds of it's own demor.
alization and decay; yet the tendencie.
toward increased respect of sex fol
sex are not SO numerous or so power
full that moments OF apprehension ant
even of Encouragement are not per,
misslble to the observer of curren
affairs.
If by the rude shock of outrage ant
murder there is to be awakened new
energy on the part Of the forces O
social cleanliness and self-preservation
the sacrifice OF poor Jennie Bosschieter
gross as it was. will not have beer
in vain. But shutting the eye to thes,
evils does not cure them. They ar
present in every city; many have tn
impression that they are growing on
of proportion to the growth in popula
tion: and whether this be true or no
there is work FOR real reforners.

Direct Election Of Senators.

"HE COMMISSION appointed
by the last legislature to
u work for an interstate
agreement in behalf af
constitutional amendment making Uni
ted States senator's directly elective by
the people, Is expected to submit It's
report at Harrisburg tomorrow; and
the report is expected to disclose that
a majority of the state legislatures are
in favor Of such an amendment.
The principal basis of argument Of
fered in behalf Of this change has been
that 1t would secure a higher average
of ability, character and statesman
ship in the senate. This we do not
concede. The party method would still
prevail. Nominations for the office OF
United States senator would be made
in political conventions just as noml-
nations for governor and other elec-
tive state offices are now made. The
candidates would electioneer among
state delegates as they now electioneer
among state assemblymen. Factions
would form for the control of state
conventions as they now form for con-
troll of state legislatures; and while I'm
close states care would doubtless 10
taken TO place on the party ticket no
man unlikely to poll the party
strength, the situation in states like
Pennsylvania would remain as be-
fore.
But the direct election OF senator's
would offer one advantage worthy Of
more general consideration. 1t would
free the state legislatures to perform
undisturbed the activities of law
making. 1t would insure the doing
| away with deadlocks and secure a full
representation OF each state in the
senate. Today number of states are
having difficulty in electing senators,
by reason of deadlocks which compll-
cate greatly the ordinary work OF
! state legislation, as we'll as defeat the
manifest intent of the Constitution
that each state should have unbrokan
and complete representation in the up
per branch of the American congress.
| The experience Of the Manila editor
recently deported by General MacAr-
| thur, shows that the freedom of tho
press may follow the flag, but it should

y n THE Worlds Work for Feb
ruary a plan is offered to "cut
Il the core" out of municipal rot
tenness, disease now conceded
ly general. 1.-The source of corrupt
municipal government will never be
permanently removed" that magazine
asserts, "until rich men and mana
gers of great commercial and financial
interests find q way to resist black
mail. They now--nearly all-contri-
butte to campaign funds, many to
the funds of the bosses of both par
ties, and not few pay money to pre-
vent legislation that is proposed on
purpose to secure plackmail. There
will be municipal misrule--organized
oppression, in fact-until the funda-
mental cause of 1t is removed. If a
vigilance committee, in addition to
closing dives and stopping the petty
levy made on unfortunate women ami
the keepers of gambling houses, could
stop the great source of supply of COR
ruption. we should have a new day In
municipal rule. What If men who con-
troll great interests and manage great
corporations were to agree, and pub
lish their agreement, that they will
never contribute out OF their trust
funds to any campaign committee and
would never pay peace money? The
powers that prey would then die OF

the place of the provisional agreement

The proposition voted down by the

II either of these details could be en-
