In Maiden Lane, nearer the river than Broad

and hungry, risk occasional disappointing
choice for the fun of translating into English

of the sober minded type they eat alone. never
nod to notice the tobacco or insurance men
at the tables across, and they rarely smile. If
when one comes down the steps, he lifts his hat
to the frauein you know he has studied
abroad; f he talks to the AIsatian waiter in
French, asking if his sick wife is better you
know tkat he may have had Roman law at the
Sorbonne
Some of these young men order everything at
once, top their coffee with ice water, pack them
selves into their overcoats hurriedIy and are off.
These are clerks in large offices, bound for Long
Island trains to collect evidence at remote
towns; TO file papers in Trenton or to serve sub
poenas beyond the Harlem. If they move leis-
urely it is calendar day at the courts, where
they not due till 2 o'clock.
Others weigh the virtues of the bill of fare

merits of this cut against that shoulder and

Ability and honesty.
Exchange.

EXchange.
Recently there has been an unusual
number of irregularities, confusion OF
accounts, shortages and embezz!e-
ments among county officials Of this
State. OF these delinquent officials
there are two classes, those who are
plainly dishonest and those whose
irregularities are attributed to in
competency or csrelessness. In deal
ing with the latter class, though
there may be doubt as to intent in
some cases, the officials are exonerst-
ed, and if they can replace any deficit
that may exist, the county Continues
to hazard the results of their unfit
pegs. This is wrong. In the first
lice, greater care should be exercis.
ed in selecting officials. Too often
mans election is due more to politi.
cal pulls, trades and combinations,
and considerations of business or
friendship than to his fitness for the
Office.
Again the law should deal more
rigidly with the delinquent. OF
course there should be different de-
grees of punishment for the dishonest
officials and the incompetent or care
less officials, but there should be
penalties for both, and the very least
inflicted upon The latter is prompt
dismissal from Office. The public
has right to expect more than hon.
esty of the man who asks for election
to responsible Office. They have a
right to demand that be bring to the
Office the ability to fill it, If be does
not know that he can do this he im
poses Upon the public, and he should
pay the penalty.
