-orcement would lead speedily to their re-

forcement would lead speedily to their re-
peal. If good laws. so much the more rea-
son for their enforcement. In any event.
quescent public opinion was not the best
test of a laws righteousness or ineduity.
Repeal must be by direct processes and
not Indirectly through official notification.
This is a much sounder doctrine than that
enunciated by Jerome. 1t leads to results,
to advancement. even though that adj
vancement may take the form of apparent
retraction. Sometimes the repeal of an
impracticable law Is a step forward. New
York suffers today from two causes, one is
the failure of the state legislature fully
to feel the sentiment of the metropolis in
the writing of laws affecting the large cit
les. The other is shifting. tickle view of
political obligations. In consequence Of
the one factor the big city is often unjustly
treated by the legislature. with it's major
ity of farmer" delegates. In consequence
of the unwholesome. state of public mind
in the city itself it fails to rise to the oc-
casion to deal honestly and vigorously with
the problems thus created by legislature
made, city laws.
Fear of reprisals at the polls undoubtedly
does influence many judicial and cXecu-
tive municipal officer in the treatment of
'ile So-caiied liberties OF the people. Many
a man has fallen under the wheel of an
unthinkins public condemnation of entirely
righteous acts. Many another has offended
a political machine by a determination to
obey the oath of Office. and SO has lost
chance for denominations The difficulty
with Mr.. Jerome's dictum is that 1t does
not appropriately take into account the fact
that the law should be enforced whatever
results. That principle cannot be too
strongly emphasized for the good of the
community. Respect for law, whatever It's
terms. is the essence of good citizenship.
And the community which permits it's laws
to be unenforced. whatever their nature,
whatever the political difficulties in the
way of their enforcement. is inviting dis
aster and accommodating problems far more
difficult than those of the excise and their
kindred

FROM tne BOSTON Transcript.
Charity working is a definite occupation.
as well recognized as trained nursing or
any other of a score of careers which
have been brought into existence by the in
creasing complexity of life within a half
century. The charity worker was a neces-
sary incident Of organized charity-was, in
deed, the essential element of organized,
as distinguished from indiscriminate, I'M
systematic giving. The pros and cons of
organized charity have long ago been
threshed out and settled The charity
worker is here to stay as feature of our
complicated civilization, and to increase
quickly and greatly in numbers as cur pop
ulation, our immigration and our poor In
crease on the one hand, and our wealth
increases on the other. For the training
OF the eharity-worker, some provision has
already been made, chiefly by the widely
prevalent social settlements. But this
training has been more or less desultory
and nscfentifc-necessarily SO because the
field was new, and the problems not under
stood.

.Paroled Maniacs.

Yesterdays shooting affair at the War
Department recorded the third case In eigh-
teen months in which a patient of the St.
Elizabeths Hospital for the Insane commit
ted crime in this city. Citizens are Begin
ming seriously to wonder whether the safe
guards for the public security in force at
that institution are adequate Certainly
there is ground in this latest instance for a
strict inquiry into the methods in vogue
there with relation to the liberties granted
to inmates.
Here was a man against whom the War
Department authorities had flied a partic-
ular complaint as a dangerous person. be-
cause of the abusive attitude he assumed
whenever he visited the department APP
parently that warning was of no avail, for
the man was allowed to walk forth without
an attendant, with money in his pockets
wherewith to buy a pistol. BY a mere
chance he missed committing a crime which
would have deprived the government of one
of its highest and most valued officials. AS
it was he seriously endangered the life Of
one man and painfully wounded another
The question naturally arises, How many
of these supposedly harmless but poten-
TALLY dangerous characters have of late
been walking the streets of Washington
with the means to buy weapons at any mo-
ment to wreak their will upon their mag
med prosecutors? In the case of Matchett,
who shot Cato in the fall of 1902 and that
of Mortified who a few months later killed
his wife and then himself the asylum au-
thorities issued certificates of parole, which
permitted the patients temporarily to re-
main away from the institution. They were
virtually declared harmless. Their provis-
ional release may be set down as due to
mistaken professional judgment.
If the hospital authorities are not willing
to declare patient cured they should GER
tainly not let him walk the streets at will.
If pressing business arises requiring the
personal presence of the patient In Wash
ington, or if it is deemed for the physical
and mental benefit of the patient that he
be given a little comparative liberty beyond
bounds he should be always accompanied
by an attendant who shall see at least that
he does not arm himself. This Is surely
taught by the OBrien shooting episode.
And, incidentally, what of the system
which enables any man to walk into a
hardware store or a second hand shop and
buy pistol and cartridges? Of course, If
the hospital authorities could not detect the
mans dangerous proclivities-of which they
had official warning-the dealer in pistols
could not be expected to discriminate
against him. Nor would he be likely to do
so in any case. He is in business to sell
his goods, and the law permits him to do
so, at rates which enables any one, what
ever his character, to obtain at any time
the means for committing murder. There
is evidently need of a more rigid method
OF supervision over this dangerous traffic
and the reduction to a minimum of the
opportunity to procure arms.

The difference between primary

direct nomination law which has but
few friends, Is that the former is

tion law Is aimed 10 make all nomina-
