Big Establishment to Keep Open on

LONDON. Sept. 2o.-One practical re-

many plans suggested for making the
city of London less duh and more like
the metropolis of the world. Paris. AT
present there Is In this. the largest city
in the world. not a single place where

The Police Judgeship.

The Times has no candidate for
the vacant position in the local
Police Court. But this paper would
like to see a man appointed to the
position who has more common
sense than learning, more learning
than generosity, and more generos-
ity than piety. Above all, a police
judge should know the world and
its seamy side. He should be able
to tell at glance the criminal from
the unfortunate; he should be quick
witted enough to check the police in
petty prosecutions; and he should
know this town as Dickens knew
London.
The Police Court Is not the place
for Sunday school ethics, kid-glove
manners, or too much learning. 1t
is rough and tumble catch-as-catch-
can place. of quick justice for petty
offenders and minor criminals. The
Judge who sits on that bench should
have more than theoretical knowl-
edge OF iniquity, vice and crime; his
love and mercy to the poor and un-
fortunate ought to be constant.
In our opinion the place is a
harder one to fill than the Chief
Justiceship Of the Supreme Court,
for the country is full of learned
men; but of men with the instinct
of justice. the tendency toward
mercy, the large heart, clear under
standing and firm decision of mind
necessary in that place, how many
are there in this District willing to
fill the position? Are there twenty
such men?
Here is a position that touches
poverty, vice and crime, that is
worthy the acceptance of a social
genius, not for its emoluments, not
for its honors. but for the opportuni-
ties it offers for real service to man
kind.

bulls-eye is hit In literature
There is a saving suspicion that
in reality the students are not ex-
pected to do any such dreadful
thing; that as a matter of feet they
are gently led to have a polite ac-
quaintance with few really great
works; that the learned professor
does most OF the abstruse guessing as
to "the fundamental principles" and
that the Legitimate functions" Of the
essay are performed by repeating in
the written exercises" what the pro-
fessor has impaired orally. Let us
hope SO.

There is great interest among the

He would undoubtedly take a prominent

fact that he is the Presidents son. but
also because he comes from Groton.

ernCars-AnCient Brakes

The heavy cars Of our street rail-
ways are handsome to look at and
fairly comfortable to ride in, but
they are antiQuated In their brake
devices. The mandrake of our
modern electric cars Is the same as
it was in the days of the bobtail one
horse car of a generation ago. When
these heavy cars are on a hillside,
or running at their ordinary speed,
and there is a sudden need to stop,
watch the desperate efforts of the
motorman and you can see that the
brake mechanism is utterly made
quate to the size, weight and speed
of the caa==.
The modern electric street car is
more like a railway coach than any
thing else and it is absolutely GRIM
inal to drive it through the streets
of any city without adequate brake
ing devices. 1t won't do to say
there is no law to compel the COM
panies to adopt modern brakes on
their modern cars. Air-brakes have
been adopted and used with success
upon electric cars for some years
The cost of installation is not pro-
hibitive and the effectiveness of the
air-brake almost ideal
1t is negligent to run these enor-
nous cars without adequate devices
for bringing them to stop quickly.

College Catalogues.

Why is it the prospectuses and
catalogues of institutions of learn
ing assume such dreadful and for
bidding air? Why are there such
thunderings in the index, such ar
rays of long avenues of devouring
sphinxes lying In wait for the
trembling neophyte at the temple
OF learning? These questions are
suggested by the yearly output of
catalogues by our colleges and
schools Of higher learning. These
monumental lists Of the topics and
courses Of study fill the parental
heart with awe; they cause dim fore
bodings of failure to oppress the
student; perhaps that is what they
are intended to do.
There lies before us, and inciden-
tally to its students, the catalogue
Of one Of our most respected insti-
tutions Of learning. We select one
of the least forbidding of its erudite
threats. In one year the students
are expected to do forty-nine other
things and top off with the follow
ing little stunt:
"A critical study of selected
dramas to enable the student to trace
the difference between the dramatic
masterpieces of the Greeks and Ro-
mans and those of modern nations.
A comparison of the epics previously
studied with the Lusiad of Camoens
and the Song Of the Niebelungs." .
Written exercises will be re-
quired to show that the student
understands the general aim and
character of the works studied. and
comprehends the fundamental prin-
ciples and legitimate functions of
literature
There il is. Work enough for a
German professors whole lifetime,
put down as a little by-play Tor

fundamental principles and legiti-
mate functions of literature" any

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1906
The North and the Negro.

One of the best signs of the times
Is the growing sanity of the North
on the black and white problem. Inn
possible theory is giving way. Rea-
son and practical method are gain
ing ground. In witness whereof, the
indianapolis News has this to say:
The future of the black race is a ma
tional problem. Circumstances have
placed that race in the South, and there
the problem has to be faced. The num-
Der of negroes with their political SOL
tdarity in Northern States is SO incon-
siderable that we have not the problem
that the Southern States have-we have
not, in fact, the problem at ali.
Should we not help our civilization on
ward by recognizing frankly the ele-
ments OF white nature as well as black
and trying to Cooperate with our white
brothers rather than our black wards
not tS as a matter of antagonism between
them, but as a factor helpful to the bet
terment OF the weaker element?
There lies the kernel of Northern
misunderstanding Of the South.
Grandfather clauses" negro disen-
franchisement." race wars" lynch
Ing bees" are not the only elements of
controversy which have been mis-
conceived. The North has erred
grievously in focusing its attention
on the rights OF the blacks so ex-
clusively that it has distorted the
rights of the whites. Let it think a
little less of the man who works
only two days week and a little
more Of the man who owns the
ground in which the negro works.
or has raised the negro's wage until
he does not need to work more than
half the time.
In this connection it is well that
the News considers a recent editor
.al In the Charleston News and
Courier. So long as the negroes of
the South vote the Republican ticket
en- masse, says that Journal, and the
Republican party in the South iden-
titles itself with the negro, in the
South the Democratic party will con-
tinue to be the white mans party
and the Republican party the black
mans party.
That alignment is unfortunate for
the South. Most of her thinking
men long ago reached that conclu-
sion. But they cannot change as long
as politicians, students and agitat6rs
fight all through the North and West
TO give the negro an impossible
status in the South. There is. how
ever, no reason to be discouraged
with the outlook of today. AS stall
wart Yankee organ as the Provi-
dence Journal stands with the In
dianapolis News for cooperation
with the Southern people rather than
antagonism to them. A dozen other
newspapers OF equal weight have
expressed similar convictions. AS
the New Orleans Daily States is en-
couraged to say, 1.-The leavens of
sympathy and conservatism are at
work in the North and much good.
