H0okER's AcQuITTAL.

The vote in the New York assembly
last Thursday failed by twenty four
votes to GUST Justice Warren B.
Hooker from his judicial position
Technically it was a victory for the
accused justice. In reality it was
stinging censure of his past public
life, and leaves a dark spot upon his
character as a public man. No man
holding high judicial position can
AFFORD to escape impeachment and ex-
pulsion on technicality.
Hooker was not attacked on his
record as a Judge. His accusers went
back of his appointment to the judicial
position and based their charges on
his record as congressman They
brought forward indisputable evidence
of transactions of shady character,
bf brokerage in office, and based their
demand for his removal upon the per-
sonal unfitness of a man to sit as
Judge who had been venal as con-
xressman. The state assembly, act
ing as jury in the case, refused to
go back of the judicial. record. and

Justice Hooker separated from Con-
gresham Hooker, received the benefit
of dubious verdict and held his job.
This verdict in nowise rehabilitated
of the assembly when more than half
of that body refused to vote their be-
lief in his fitness Seventy-siX of the
members were so thoroughly convinced
of his pesonal unfitness for high jul
dicial powers that they voted for his
removal The verdict was not vim
dication but a condemnation by ma
jority vote. He is marked man and
his court one, of which litigants will
feel fear rather than confidence.
1t is an excellent sign of the times
that Hooker was arraigned and that
in a legislature from which little is to
be expected a majority vote repudiated
him. Justice Hooker keeps a job, not
a position. and the question of the fit
ness of such men for high office seems
to have been definitely settled by pop
ular vote. The public has never be-
lieved that men may be crooked in one
place and trustworthy in another. 1t
is minor matter that Hooker retains
his justiceship when a majority Of the
assembly of ring-ridden state like
New York begins to inquire into tho
records of state officials and resent the
injection of the grating politician into
its judiciary.
1t all goes back to one question:
Ought men whose records show venal-
ity, graft and public or private crook
edness, to be given public office or
permitted to remain when they have,
by hook or crook. secured it? The ma
jority of the New York legislature,
with the vast majority of the public.
seem to have the proper answer to the

Vain regret and care will keepl
Woo the sky with all its blue,
Simmer Of the sunshine too!
Song of river. laugh Of child.
Humblest thing that ever smiled;
Steep the soul and battle the feet
In the Clover blossoms sweet!

Woo the blossoms and the wings
Where the bending azure meets
Argosies Of silver fleets!
All the World is full of joy,
Take It as a child its toy
Fling its fever and unrest
Down to the deep ocean breast
OF life's yesterdays Today
Gods glad promises hold sway.
In the rivers rush and ken
OF the happy hearts Of men!
Woo the sky with all its blue
Simmer Of the sunshine too;
Steep the soul and battle the feet
In the Glover blossoms sweet!
Wading In the Glover sea
Well clasp hands with memory!
Let her lead us swift along
BY the golden chain Of song;
Leaning, list'ning the refrain
OF the Robins trill again!
5 All, the voices loved of yore,
Say not they will come no more!
Speaking with us as tits meet
Mid the Glover blossoms sweet:
They've forgot the angels kiss!
Knowing only that we miss
Tender tones we called our own
On the throne Of love and home!
SO we steep our souls today
In the blossoms DER the way!

WASHINGTON AND DUBOIS.

Professor Dubois, the bright negro
educator of Atlanta University, who
has gained considerable of public at
tention recently, is the opposite of
Booker T. Washington, and this is less
to Professor Dubois than to Mr..
Washington's credit. In fact most Of
Professor Dubois notability has come
to him as the opponent of Washing
toms we'll known and generally approx
ed views on negro industrial education.
Professor Dubois is ready to demand
for his race what Mr.. Washington is
willing to earn. The address, issued
by the recent negro conference at Nj
agra Falls, and which Is reflex Of
Dubois views, burns with wrath
against race discrimination and de-
mands universal male suffrage for the
colored race It refuses, inferentially,
to wait and work for the recognition
it demands, as the inherent right Of
the negro.
1t would appear that Professor Du-
bois and his followers are turning their
energy against instead of in favor OF
the advancement of their race. There
are inherent rights that are never fully
considered and which, under the free
est government, never attained. Alb
stractly considered, the man without
property has Inherent rights of self
government as the other man with
large holdings, but he rarely gets all his
rights in this respect. Just who should
vote and hold Office and who should
not, is still debatable question and
in most mems minds the Disqualified
ton of brutality ignorant and improv-
wherein they constitute heavy pro-
portion of the population, is no crime
against good government. 1t is true
that determinations are practiced that
are utterly indefensible, and these are
to be condemned, but the call for man.
hood suffrage for the negro is not like
ly to meet a popular response until
a more general dissemination of edu-
cation and spread Of industry has
justified it.
The prejudice against color appears
to extend even to Professor Dubois.
He is anxious for his race to be white
men without the slow growth Of racial
Development that has made the white
dominant He seems to be thinking
more Of white superiority than of
black inferiority, and desires to legis-
late the inferior race into equality as
a man might lift himself by his boot
tops. Prejudice is not to be legislated
out OF existence. Neither are brains
and judgment and industry and the
higher standards Of living the result
of laws, but laws the result of them.
Dubois, when he "toles" the common
negro after him in his mad chase for
equality is doing his race an irrepar-
able injury.
Dubois is an agitator, who would
leap a gulf as yet immeasurable
Washington is a builder, who would
bridge the chasm with character and
industry and education. Washington
is safe man. Dubois dangerous

TRANSPORTATION TRANSFORMATION.

unAW0FOnIAtIOW TRANSFORMATIONS
A writer in the Forum reviewing the
transportation situation predicts a
transformation of the methods OF
transportation. Motor vehicles on the
highways suggested to the railway en-
Gineer that a motor which could
propel heavy automobile over a
rough road might be equally effective
In driving a car upon a smooth track,
and thus aid In the solution OF the diff
Acult problem of light and rapid trans
port. The Independent motor car. both
for service and inspection. as well as
for brtef local passenger service, is
finding welcome acceptance and bids
fair to develop into . valuable railway
auxiliary.
It is becoming evident. he says, to
the observants student, that a trans
formation in methods OF transporta-
tion is now impending. The demands
of commerce upon trains drawn by
steam locomotives are continually in
creasing, and efforts to respond to
these demands. are evident on all sides.
Higher speeds for passenger trains,
greater capacities for freight cars,
greater convenience for local service
all these points must be met either by
existing appliances or by new meth
DDS. AT the present time there are
regular trains making more than sew
enty miles an hour for portions of the
regular schedules, and Tong distance
trains maintaining speeds of more than
fifty miles an hour for runs OF several
hundred miles in length. Freight cars
Of fifty tons capacity are numerous
and are found profitable in service,
and the whole transportation question
6 one which is being pushed to the ex-
IRENE to meet the demands of COM
merce and industry.
So far as local traffic is concerned,
he has little doubt that electric trac-
tion, using some form of multiple unit
control, is best Capable of meeting the
situation. Competent railroad men
have committed themselves to the pos
ttion that, without a proportional vol
pIne of freight traffic. a steam railroad
cannot compete successfully with the
electric system for local and suburban
passenger service. Probably the i'm
\
mediate solution Of the question will
Be the introduction Of electricity for
much OF the local traffic, on the main
lines as well as on the rural feeder
system, leaving the steam locomotives
to deal with the through passenger
trains and the heavy freight business.
The experience thus gained will go far
to determine the further solution of
the problem, and the extent to which
the prejudice of the railroad man to
the invading power of electricity Is
overcome will form an important feat
ure in further progress.
