MAGISTRATES ENOUGH. THANK YOU.

shining mark for the veto is the bill. now
awaiting Mayor Lows action, which provides
for two additional police magistrates In the
boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx. Most
of the present magistrates were appointed by
Mayor Strong under the act of 1895. which abol-
ished the old Board of Police Justices. In which
Tammany was wont TO find soft berths for Its
Kochs and DIVERS and Gradys. There were
nine Magistrates named by Mayor Strong, ana
they took office on July 1, 1895 Subsequently
Colonel Strong was permitted to appoint three
more under special legislation which increased
the number to twelve. That is the present
force in Manhattan and The Bronx.
good many people thought that the ad-
ditfonal magistrates were not necessary, and
there is no doubt IN the minds of others than
few politicians who are In the office jobbinS
business that the police bench as now consti-
tuted is amply sufficient numerically for all the
demands made upon it. What is needed is not
more magistrates, but more work from those
now sitting. Each has about one-third of the
year free. His hours are not long, and appar-
emily the emOlument is sufficient to attract
plenty Of candidates for the places.
Judges in courts of record cannot sit continu-
ously for they must have time to prepare opin-
ions and study cases. Not with the police
magistrate He either in1icts penalties for
minor misdemeanors or holds prisoners for the
grand jury or Special Sessions His decisions
are delivered offhand, and deal mostly with
questions Of weight of evidence, and not intri-
cate points Of law which have to be carefully
thought over.
To add two magistrates to the present bench
would be to encourage further Incidence on the
part of those we have now and to add two
large salaries to the already heavy rolls.
The Mayor IN dealing with the measure might
also consider Joker IN 1t which is intended
to secure one of the places to particular police

A TONSORTAL MYSTERY.

Several communications have been received
IN this office in which opprobious epithets are
applied to the BARRIERS bill now awaiting the
action of the Governor. The writers describe
It as crude and tyrannical, designed to benefit
a ring. and q striking example Of graft" On
the other hand. Mr.. James P. Carey, chairman
of the legislative committee of the Master Bar
bers' Association is on record over bis own sig
nature as declaring that twenty-six thousand
men in the various BARRIERS organizations of the
State united on the bill; that there is absolutely
nothing wrong about it; that ii is a plain, COM
mon sense measure; that It will help the bar
bers' business and protect the public, and that
every practising barber is anxiously waiting
for the Governor to make il Il law by virtue of
his bold Roman signature What are the facts?
We not positive that we know though from
the bill now lying before us we have faithfully
endeavored to dig out its meaning and intention
The oStensible purpose of the bill is surely TO
be commended. Many BARRIERS incompetent
many barber shops uncleanly, and many
implements employed in the tonsorial art and
science are capable Of conveying infection. For
the correction Of these abuses the bill provides
that State board OF barber examiners shall
be appointed by the Governor, and sub-bOards
by the State board at it's discretion; that no per
son shall hereafter practise the occupation Of
barber without having first received a certif-
cate Of qualification from the board of examina-
ton; that every person now practising said oc-
cupation shall file an affidavit setting forth his
name, place Of business. postoffice address and
how long he has been so occupied and pay 81
for certificate; that persons desiring TO be ex-
amined as TO their proficiency shall pay So for
the privilege that all certificates shall be con-
spicuously posted where their holders work;

WHERE CANADA BUYS AND WRT.

The commercial competition between Great

the forces at work are very much the same
