ANOTHER CASE IN POINT.

Some people whom it would be difficult TO
characterize in polite phrases are reported 10
have gone through the village of White Plains
on Thursday in a racing automobile at racing
speed. Competent observers estimated ther
rate at forty miles an hour. They ran their
hideous engine along the middle of the chlel
thoroughfare absolutely regardless OF all other
vehicles. The sound and fury Of their engine
frightened team of horses, which ran away,
throwing a man and woman from the carriage
and nearly killing them. Another morse Was
similarly frightened and its driver was seriously
hurt. A dozen other accidents were narrowly

We have no doubt that if these reckless

they were going at less than ten miles an hour
and that their engine was mechanically III

Again we say as we have said many times
before that not all automobile drivers do thus
no nor the majority of them. These offenders
are a small minority. But even small minor
ity can make itself offensive and dangerous, and
can bring reproach upon the majority. one
such niece of wanton ruffianism as that reported
at White Plains on Thursday is sufficient to set
the public to looking with suspicion and win
disfayor upon all automobiles. 1t is depiorable.

THE PENALTY FOR HURDhR-

Patrick is in Sing Sing, but no lntellseht
human being familiar with the history Oh MI
der trials in this State expects that he VIII po

the delays in his case will be Kept up ioi
months and years. 1t is difficult TO obtain any

sbrewd and ingenious counsel. But even II "
conviction is secured it is usually only the nrst
act in a long drawn out drama which ENDS
generally in the final release Of the prisoner.
There is the Kennedy case for instance. Ken
nedy was convicted once and sentenced 10
death. The Court of Appeals ordered a ne"
trial because of technical errors. On the seconu
trial the Jury disagreed and the accused hIdh
was set free. 1t is not in the least likely that
he will ever be arraigned again. Inc Dlsulct
Attorney has just asked Tor large speclal
appropriation on account Of the expenses OIL
murder trials under his jurisdiction Such lrlals
in this county cost the taxpayers a great ueai
of money. and are usually futile in the long run
if tbe defendants or their friends can raise the
funds to employ shrewd crlmlnal law!

IN EXTINCT SPECIES.

There are some old fashioned characters whose
disappearance from the scenes of everyday life
we mourn with a quiet, sentimental sense OF
loss pleasurable regret that has its springs in
fancy, not in remembrance. Such are the Tony
Wellers of Dickens the stage drivers of Bret
Harte, the uilkmaids of the romantic novelists.
The mention of these amiable and picturesque
figures stirs us to a mild literary emotion, but
manage to do very comfortably without them
in practice.
It is otherwise with another of the worthless
