THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

Tho prornnt and efficient action of Governor
Durbn by which public order was restoreu III
Evansville a month ago. had already gained LOT
the Inaana executive the hearty commentator
of the country, but all good citizens VINO see
straight and think clearly must welcome Tresi
dent ROosevet's authoritative tribute OF praise
for the service so rendered. If the Presidents
letter to the Governor had been merely an en-
phatic expression of approval for that perform
ance of duty it would have been appropriate
and useful, but the conditions to which 1t re-
Iates are becoming more serious from week to
week and it is well that public attention mas
been drawn to them in this unusual manner
Though the truths which the President sets
forth with characteristic directness and energy
are fundamental. there are some persons not
naturally belonging to the mob who blunuy
DENY them. and many more who are ready 10
excuse such denials urging that there may be
exceptions to a general rule and thus encourag-
ing a wide reign of lawlessness which they
would never deliberately invite. The President
speaks without particle of exaggeration when
he saws that mob violence is simply one form OF
anarchy: that anarchy is now, as it always has
been. the forerunner of tyranny; that the spirit
of Iawlessness grows with what it feeds on, and
that when mobs with impunity lynch criminals
for one crime they are certain to begin to lynch
real or alleged criminals for other causes. Pre-
cisely that progressive oVerthrowing of barriers
is visible now In many parts of the country. 1t
is 10 longer question merely of taking swift
vengeance with circumstances of appalling
cruelty for one infamous crime. The taste for
blood demands diversified list of victims. The
President declares doubtless on full informa-
ton, that of recent lynchings more than three
quarters were for murder. attempted murder
and even less heinous offences Those who
pleaded fervently, and perhaps honestly for the
right of superseding regulated justice when a
certain specified crime was to be dealt with
sowed seed from which ruinous harvest is be-
ing gathered.
Moreover, the argument of practical utility is
proved to be worthless. Lynching is not de-
terrent It produces n condition Of frenzy IA
vorabe to the commission of any crime, includ-
ing the most atrOcious. The universal suprem-
acy of law supplies the only insurance against
the commission of the very enormity which in
the beginning the law was declared to be in
capable of duly Furnishing or of preventing.
But, as we said the day before the Presidents
letter appeared, and he reminds the public,
it is imperative that the administration of the
law should be expeditions and unfinching. A
scrupulous regard for the rights Of the accused
has been permitted TO provide field for the IN
scrupulous exercise of ingenuity on the part of
counsel and a lax performance of duty on the
part of judges The laws delays and the en-
sharing of justice in techncalities have done
much TO kindle the fame which will consume
our institutions if it is not quenched.

WILLIAM E. DODGE.

William E. Dodge, who died at Bar Harbor
on Sunday, will be sincerely mourned not only
by wide circle OF friends and business associ-
ates, but by a great number of persons in all
parts of the country to whom he was known as
one of the most constant, generous and jul
dicious public benefactors Of his time. Indeed,
it is doubtful If in proportion to his means any
other citizen of New-York has more largely con-
tributed through long series of years to the
promotion of good ends.
But Mr. Dodge was not accustomed to feel
that he had discharged his obligations when he
had drawn a check for the benefit Of a charity
public undertaking. Busy as he was with
exacting private interests, he devoted large
part of his time TO the service of causes and IN
situations which commanded his respect and to
which his sagacity and enthusiasm, supplement-
ing his ltberality, were of incalculable value
Among these it is appropriate that we should
make particular mention of The Tribune Fresh
Air Fund, of which Mr.. Dodge was for many
years a trustee and auditor. He was faithful
TO q high sense of civic duty, he led blameess
life filled with good works, and his memory will
be gratefully cherished.

THE END IN SIGHT.

piece OF work done in the subway a few
days ago merits attention, not only because ii
was skilfully accomplished, but because it
marks the beginning of the end Of the much
needed Improvement in rapid transit A cut
made at Observation-Disclosures con-
Meeting two sections of the work and making
the excavation continuous from the Postofice to
Harlem.
Ever since the work Of digging, blasting and
burrowing began on the underground road the
union of two sections has been cause for con-
graduation, and. now that the last obstacle has
been pierced, the work on the subway requires
only the finishing touches and subway rapid
transit is many steps nearer accomplishment
The last cut is interesting also from another
point OF view at this time, when streets made
impossible because of open bitches and conse-
quent injury to business are having the atten
ton of the people OF the city. The surface over
the spur which connects the two sections nj
Observation-Disclosures was not disturbed
while the work was in process. traffic was not
interfered with, and the section is n notable
sample OF what can be accomplished In that d.
rection.

many places along the underground railway

HEAPS IN THE HIGHWAYS.

The enforcement of the local ordinances
against choking avenues and streets with piles
of building materials has not been sufficiently
rigorous this summer. Inspectors of the Bor-
ough of Manhattan should be called to an espe-
ciaIly strict accounting by the officials in au-
thority over them. In the construction of the
ma jority of new buildings the contractors have
been permitted to obstruct the highways to an
unreasonable extent.
And in the remodelling of important edifces
an immense amount of that sort of transfer
nation has been in progress this year between
Battery Park and the Harlem River-the same
laxity with regard to the excessive occupation
Of the streets has been conspicuous. Such neg
lect to compel respect to our ordinances is not
commendable. These ordinances were carefully
drawn, and there is no oppression or unfairness
in requiring contractors 10 obey them. Honor
able, upright and conscientious men have made
it plain again and again that vast buildings can
be begun carried on and finished with strict re-
gard to these regulations.

there is little fear that they will be practised.
The Turkish Government is not sending Alba
