LIABIE TO"

One or the new signs on the BROOKLYN Bridge
warns passengers not TO climb into the cars
through the windows, and tells them that 81
they violate the law in this respect they are
liable to- prosecution. That is a common form
OF giving notice against the preparation of
unlawful acts. AT every turn the disorderly
learn that they are liable to- arrest and i'm
prlsonment But they soon learn that there is
a great difference between Imprisonment and
liability 10 Imprisonment and the warning
loses It's restraining force.
That characteristic phrase Of our public no.
tees bespeaks American character and has a
deep Significance The typical American child
is said to be lawless and i'll behaved through
lack Of discipline. From early youth he is
warned off from forbidden acts but, neverthe-
less, allowed to commit them without subsequent
punishment. Our public authorities are much
like fussy and indulgent parents. They say CON
tlnually: Johnny, If you do that I'll whip Won -
then Johnny, didn't you hear me say I'd wbip
you If you did that? Mind now. | will whin
you if you do il again" And Johnny learns he
can do 1t several times without being whipped
ana parental authority comes TO mean nothing
TO him. So 1t is with the terrors of the law.
People hear at every turn that they are 'liabIe
to" penalties, but rarely in comparison TO
offences are the penalties imposed, or even
prosecutions instituted, that the warning comes
TO be mere empty threat The slight risk is
so slight as merely to add zest Of sport to dis
order. The rowdy makes q disturbance the
splitter splits, the boy stones vehicles, the cor
tractor violates the building laws, the steam-
boat company neglects TO buy proper life pre-
servers. They are of course, all liable to-"
fine or Imprisonment But that does not fright
en- them in this happy-go-lucky land. They are
liable to- be hit on the head by q brick as
they walk in the street, but the chances of it
are not so great as 10 keep them off the street.
Neither are the chances of law enforcement
great enough TO make people think carefully
before breaking laws
Why not have a reform? Why not abandon
liable to- and use will be" in our notices.
and then live up 10 them? 1t would be hard
at first. The spoiled children would yell terri
bly,, and the parents would be much disturbed
by the unpleasant sound. But It would not be
long, particularly in the case of the younger
portion of the community, before an instinct
for order and obedience was developed A no.
tee, forbidden by law" would mean some
thing, and would be regarded At present it is
too often merely a suggestion Of something
naughty which it would be smart to do. Pro
hibitions without penalties which are really
enforced are only demoralizing. The legal boy
who cries Wolf, wolfp' and has no wolf Il
show, like any other boy ceases TO be regarded
even when there is serious occasion.

operations. there IS evidently a superiority on
the side of the japanese. 1t is coming to be
believed, moreover that this advantage can be
maintained by KurokI, although this Of
fers violence to the hitherto treasured
opinions of army officers who have entertained
the notion that the Russians We're capable of re-
enforcement in greater ratio than the Japanese
1t is now estimated by the service observers
here that the Japanese have in Manchuria a
force of one hundred and fifty thousand men,
while the Russian army is only hundred
thousand strong. II is calculated also that any
increase of force will be In proportion on both
sides maintaining a superiority of lighting
