Clear the Road!

\ st. Petersburg newspaper declares IN
dignantly that the British trawlers should
have kept out of the way of the Russian
war fleet. They knew the battleships and
cruisers were coming, and it was up to them
to keep at a safe distance. Now this is
something like. 1t goes to the mark All
this talk that has been heard about mis-
takes and panic and the like falls short of
the mark as short. indeed, as most Russian
shells. knowing the Russian navy as well
as seafaring men of all nations should by
this time know it, those British fishermen
deliberately took their chances when they
went to in the track of the Baltic fleet,
on its way to being transformed into the
second Pacific squadron" and possibly into
old junk. Those trawlers had plenty of
warning. many months of warning, indeed.
They knew that some day the Russians
would come steaming through the North
sea. They knew they were dangerous to all
other craft and often to themselves. They
had had ample notice of their character in
the various little mishaps to the feet while
it was maneuverng around in the Baltic
trying to make a start. They had presum-
ably read the newspapers and had noted
the deadly accuracy of the Russian aim
at tmes-in the sea fighting off the Chinese
coast. They went TO sea at their own risk,
just as the Long Island farmers took the
road the other day when the automobilists
were having their great road race. 1t made
no difference that the war fleet might have
been delayed another half year fiddling.

Until that fleet had passed through the North

road belonged to it. and all others were

Bryan in a New Role.

AS Colonel Shakespeare pleasantly puts it:
''All the worlds stage,
And all the men and women merely
players:
They have their exits and their en-
frances;
And one man in his time plays many
parts
This also is Mr.. Bryan's view and prac-
tice 1t was only a few days ago that he
essayed the part of Aaron. a father in
Israel Now he casts himself for the part
of a mother in Israel-one of the women
who appeared before Solomon claiming to
be the mother of child in dispute-who
surrendered the child in order that il might
live. But he mistakes the present drama
1t is the paternity of the child of today that
is in question. And in all civilized countries
that is supreme point. Mr.. Bryan should
not waive any claims on any sentimental or
other grounds. The court in this case isn't
going to recommend death. The democratic
party will survive November Sth, no mat
ter what may happen on election day.

Balloons and Soaring Planes

dirigible balloon yesterday sailed
around n the air above the worlds fair
buildings at st. Louis and then came to
grief through the breaking of the propelline
machinery. and was forced to drift with the
WIND before descending. 1t gave an inter-
esting exhibition of speed and steering at
all angles with the wind during the time
that It's engine was In order. But the fact
remains that 1t broke. Therein lies the
danger In all these so-called flying ma
chimes. The machinery is necessarily made
so light that 1t reaches the breaking point
very quickly. 1t Is subject to considerable
strain when In the air and working against
the wind. for the pTopellers must drive for
ward great bag which offers large area
OF resistance against the air. As long as
the gas bag remains intact the machine can
be held al0ft even IL the machinery gives
out. But In at least one case in France
the gas bag collapsed and the aeronauts
were killed. The gas bag or dirigible balloon
has certain advantage over any soaring
machine that may be devised in that 1t Is
assured of its Rotation In any circumstances
short of the escape of the gas. The danger
of break In the machine is as grave in the
case OF the sossrir device or aeroplane as.
in that OF the dirigibie balloon. for there is
the same necessity for making the engine

he stands for the law and It's power and
in the degree that he wards OF assault the
law is strong against the evil-doers. But
not use his gun at ALL and these cases are
supposed to be fairly well understood by
the members of the force. Then again
there are times when the policeman is justi-
fed In firing merely to wound a fugitive
and he should be trained to such marks
manship that he can use his weapon with
safe accuracy to that end. And further
more there are times when he is justified
in shooting only to warn another. to
brighten him, and he should be drilled in
the safest way to discharge his gun so that
the bullet. flying wild. will not wound an
innocent person.
All of these instances call for accuracy OF
aim and the police pistol range. to be OF
full value to the force and the public,
should be large enough to give the members
of the force ample instruction and practice
in all branches of small-arm craftsmanship.
While this matter Is being considered by
the Commissioners they might also debate
upon the proposition to fit out policemen. in
addition to their present weapons with
guns carrying blank cartridges for warn
ing or frightening purposes. If the men
cannot be trained to shoot wild for this
purpose with entire safety to the public
with their ball cartridges they should be
armed with auxiliary batteries of noise
makers which can do no harm. Then let
the fleeing criminal guess which is to be
used against him.

Pistol Practice for Policemen.

Major Sylvester's plea for place where
the policemen can practice with their pis-
tolls Is worthy of favorable consideration by
the Commissioners. Such gallery or
range. however. should be maintained not
by private funds. but out of the public ap-
preparations. Provision should be made for
1t on a proper scale in the annual budget.
as part of the necessary equipment of the
Districts police force. For ii Is obvious
that If the policemen are to be armed they
should be made competent to bear and use
firearms. As long as the pistol Is part of
the official outfit of the patrolman. in other
words, 1t should be officially ensured of
proper use. The records of American cities
are filled with instances of policemen kill
ing and wounding people. some of them es-
Gaping prisoners. others fugitive malefac-
tors on whom the hand of the law had not
been laid. others mere panic-stricken sus-
poets. and still others innocent bystanders.
There is very wide range In the list of
the policeman's victims. and the public de-
sire and demand is that this range be lin
tied as narrowly as possible and that the
policeman's pistol be made a weapon of
legitimate use in the few emergencies that
arise In the course of his duty
There are undeniably times when the
policeman must shoot to KILL When he is
vicously and dangerously attacked by a
cornered criminal he Is entitled and even
required by the rules of public safety to
defend his own life. There is no criticism
OF the policeman who takes life In these
circumstances. 1t Is even more important
that he successfully defend himself than

Partisanship Beyond the Verge.

The gravest feature of this campaign
has been the effort to stir up trouble for
the government in the Philippines and In
Panama. That has passed the bounds of
legitimate partisansl:ip. 1t cannot we may
easily believe. have had the sanction of
those democrats who are opposed to scuttle
in the one quarter, and are eager for the
canal In the other And there are many
such men. But. unfortunately for them.
the effort is tagged with democracy. and
the exigencies of the campaign compel
them to submit.
Judge Parker himself, 1t seems reason
ably certain. is but the mouthpiece of
clique in the matter of the Philippines
Those familiar with the situation in the
archipelago have shown that his deliver
ances on the subject are all but ridiculous.
He does not state any fact or phase of the
case correctly. His mathematics are as
much awry as his philosophizings. in the
light of his surroundings and associations.
are droll. Fancy the presidential candidate
of the southern states pleading for the
federal Constitution and the Declaration Of
Independence in the Philippines! But his
words have heartened, and will continue to
hearten every enemy of this government
there and elsewhere. Even should Theodore
Roosevelt sweep the country next month
the schemers against American sovereignty
in the archipelago will continue their activ-
titles and increase our difficulties, in the
hope that 1908 viii bring either Judge
Parker to the front again. or some man like
him.
OF what anti-American maneuver has
been going on down in Panama the public
Is not as yet SO fully advised We may
know the complete story later. We may
not. We should. These suggestions of
cipher dispatches turning up in the wrong
hands. of strolling scribber searching for
material with which to blacken the coun-
try's good name. and of a syndicate of
American newspapers yearning for such
stuff. are vastly interesting. The demo-
cratic national committee may not be in
volved. Certainly Mr.. Taggart can afford
to submit to a search" He would not
have thought of the thing. He would not
know whether an emissary started on such
q mission should head North or South, or
speak Roosian. Proosian, or Hindoostanee.
But If particulars are available the country
should have them; for we are going to do
important business in and with Panama,
and should become familiar with the tracks
and tricks of all providers in that quarter.
Our partisanship, we are told, should
stop at the water line. With the great ma
jority of men 1t does. But in all cases

Miles and Old Fritz.

that they owe anything to force which has

Both Will Win.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Each of the candidates for the presi-

few others-has been duly elected by the

to say debauchery by wholesale, after

Hounding Reformed Convicts.
From the New York Herald


District Attorney Jerome asked yester-
day that prisoners sentence be suspended
pending inquiry into apparently well
grounded statement that this former con-
vict had endeavored to reform, but had
been driven to renewed wrongdoing by po-
lice persecution. 1t is well that the police
should keep an eye upon released prisoners
for. unfortunately, most of them leave the
cell only to prey again upon the public.
But if any man woman who tries to
begin life over again and walk the paths
of honesty is bounded by the police and
forced back into evil associations the dis
trict attorney cannot do better public work
than ferret out an official guilty of such
cruel wrongdoing and see that he receives
the well deserved punishment that he has
earned.
