POLICE POWER AND DUTY.

police captain was quoted yesterday as
saying that he believed ne had ample authority
TO look into the condition Of a boat which he
had reason to regard with suspicion, under Sec
ton $50 Of the Penal Code, defining a public
nuisance as an act or omission which. among
other things, "annoys, Injuries or endangers the
comfort, repose. health or safety of any con-
siderable number of persons" good many
citizens, including Justice Gaynor. hold the
opinion that along certain lines of activity the
police are in the habit of going much too far.
Whether that is true or not, there IS ground for
thinking that in some other directions they have
never acquired the habit of going far enough.
After the collapse of the Hotel Darlington last
winter It was said with a show of authority
that although the contractors had defied the
orders of the Buildings Department, official in
reference even with operations which were OBJ
viously n menace to the workmen and to pas
sersby would not have been lawful. We never
thought that position well taken. AS the
police captain whose opinions were quoted yes
terday said: Protection of life is the highest,
the paramount duty of the police" 1t is inner
emily absurd to suppose that they lack the nee
essary authority to order workmen out of. and
keep the public away from. building which
they believe to be In danger Of falling.

1t strikes us that here is a field for beneticent

by the Slocum disaster. but prudence so engen-

TIE CITY HALL

When, several months ago, the President Of
the Borough obtained authority TO spend $4,000
on the City Hall, we Fentured TO predict that he
would soon be caught IN the act Of asking for
more. 1t was impossible to suppose that a sum
absolutely paltry, according to the accepted
standard OF municipal expenditure would more
than suffice for beginning OF operations. To
be sure, the Hon. Jacob Cantor during his in
cumbency OF the office now theoretically adorned
by Mr.. Ahearn, had put $4,000 into the build
ing, so that the insignificant amount which the
latter originally received might have been re-
gsroed as proceeding from the bounty of the
new administration rather than as responsive
20 the imperative necessities OF the situation;
but, as matter of fact, that agreeable sugges-
ton was promptly discountenanced in official
circles, owing TO the difficulty which they ex-
perienced in ascertaining 10 what purposes Mr..
Cantors comparatively handsome appropriation
had been applied. There was rug az sight of
which persons of taste were enjoined 10 shud-
der, and we are under the impression that some
OF the ceilings were kalsomined; but nobody
seemed to know what the rest OF the money had
been wreaked on, and Mr.. Ahearn, who was
appointed q committee Of one with power 10
Ind out has not made a report even unto this
day.
However, the understanding Is that the City
han is In bad way-in a much worse way
apparently, than Mr.. Ahearn was at first led TO
suppose. Last January he laid particular stress
on the plumbing, or remarkable lack OF plumb
Ing, TO which the aldermen especially were ex-
posed; but now, in looking over his tentative
organizations, we observe that he deyotes only
s''0OO TO the Indispensable duty of rescuing the
occupants OF the building from the rayages of
sewer gas, while $4,000 is to go 10 mason. iron
hnd excaFating work" and $1,000 TO architects
ana incioentals." Mr.. Ahearn is evidently con-
WINGED that something like an emergency exists
ana that is clearly the opinion of the Board of
Estimate. which yesterday, with the Controllers
consent gave him $4,000. in addition to the
slo'oCo which he had TO wrestle for with Mr..
1rout few months ago. Under these circum-
stances, FAR be II from us TO object II would

CABINET CHANGES.

In the selection of the new members of his
Cabinet President Roosevelt displays charac-
terstic originality and capacity for bringing
into political life as his assistants men who
have demonstrated their ability in other activi-
ties AS Governor of New-Ynrk his success in
committing important work TO new men partic-
ularly well fitted TO perform 1t rather than TO
the conventional oficeholder was noteworthy.
In Washington he has retained that excellent
habit.
The problem forced upon the President by
the retirement of Attorney General Knox is
happily solved by the transfer of Secretary
Moody TO the Department Of Justice Mr..
Moody is a lawyer of ability and experience.
Service in Congress for four terms has given
him a large training in national affairs and as
a member of the Cabinet he thoroughly under
stands the problems and policies of the admin
istration. He viii be able TO continue the work
Of Attorney General Knox for the enforcement
OF the Antitrust and Interstate Commerce laws
without a break.
The transfer of Secretary Moody 10 the At
torney Generals office brings into public life a
new man Of great promise whose cooperation
in the work OF administration President ROose-
welt has eagerly sought. Mr.. paul Morton is
the sort OF man who should be tempted into
politics. 1t has sometimes been the reproaCh
OF this country that there was little chance for
the man OF affairs to take his proper share in
government because of demonstrated capacity
for Office. Power went either to the profess
sional politician or TO the business man who
came forward in party organizations simply
because of his money and power 10 control the

ASPHALT.

1t can scarcely be cause OF Joy or gratifca-
ton to Manhattan that It has TO pay for as
phalt on its streets more than twice as much
as Brooklyn. 1t is cause for genuine rejoicing
in Brooklyn that it is enabled to get its streets
asphalted for less than half what II costs I'm
Manhattan. In such circumstances 1t NAV be
the part Of wisdom for Brooklyn promptly TO
extend the mileage of its asphaIted streets
The borough has a splendid opportunity of
doing So and for the need of It there can
be no question. The need in Manhattan is not
nearly so great. For here the non-asphalted
streets are paved with fairly regular stone
blocks. while over there they are coyered-we
cannot say paved-wth cobblestones and bouI-
ders Of excruciating irregularity.
Meantime It will be we'll for Brooklyn to
look sharply to the maintenance as well as to
the construction of asphalted streets. The rule
or neglect has too much prevailed. Many as
phalted streets have been permitted to get into
q condition in which they are almost impassa-
bic, and certainly are not to be traversed with
either safety or comfort. Some of these are
among the really important highways of the Dor
ough. Lewis-ave, for example, has for months
been in q state unfit for use. There are others
worse still. There are great holes I'm the as
phalt deep enough to make a horse stumble
or to give a wagon q dangerous wrench and
jolt. Indeed, some accidents have occurred
from that cause and others have been pre-
vented or avoided only through the exercise
Of greater degree Of care than ought to be re-
Quired of a driver in a civilized community.
The secret of this trouble seems to be that
minor breaks in the asphalt are not promptly
repaired, but are neglected until they have
reached great proportions. A street is not
taken IN hand for repair until it has become
dangerous impossible. In one street. now
undergoing repaaEs there are holes in the as
phalt from six to ten feet in diameter. Each Of
these began as small hole or crack which a
scoopful of asphalt would have mended. Had
it thus been mended. it would have grown no
larger But. being neglected, it rapidly spread
The secret of good roads. in city as well as
country. lies in keeping them continually good

And yet every Fourth OF July far worse destruc-
