~rP TO- THE POLIcYHOLDERs.

Governor Higgins gives a needed warning TO

however, the trustees did conserve these prop

QUE ATHLETES AT ATHENS.

The visit to Athens, for which company of
American athletes started yesterday, will prob
ably be Of greater social than athletic signih-
canoe. With no desire to play the unenviable
part of a killjoy, IL must be said that there
seems TO be little prospect Of greatly breaking
the record" in any branch Of athletic sports.
About the best We can hope to do is to keep the
average up pretty close TO the record already
established. Most of the gains that are now
reported are due TO improved machinery, rather
than to increased efficiency of the human frame.
Thus. in boating, outriggers. sliding seats and
what not have enabled the making of greater
speed Yet in our Yale-Harvard races the fast
est time was made many years ago, and between
Oxford and Cambridge the time has not been
reduced a minute in a generation, while the
fastest on record was made a dozen years ago.
The running record for 120 yards was set twen-
ty-four years ago, that for 1000 yards twenty
five years ago and that for 100 miles twenty
four years ago. The running high jump has not
been improved upon in ten years. No skating
records have been broken I'm this century.
These are amateur records. The professional
records were set still further back.
But If there is little reason TO expect any SEN
sational achievements in athletics. we may look
for pleasant results In international social
affairs. Every such mingling Of representatives
of various nations in friendly rivalry Increases
international acquaintance and appreciation, and
thus strengthens the bonds Of amity. 1t gives
the men Of each country an opportunity to learn
something, in ways and means Of department,
as well as in athletic achievement 1t puts them
also peculiarly on their mettle, TO maintain the
highest standard of honor and courtesy, as well
as TO exert their sinews 10 the full. Every
member Of the American company is going TO
try TO win. But above that his determination
is-it assuredly should be-sO to cOmpOrt HIM
self that his record will be that OF gentleman
and true sportsman. whether it be that of a
winner or not.

7 sors. The pollcyholders, as Governor Higgins
tells them, should be on their guard against
energetic and plausible promoters Ihey
should not exchange King Log of the fable for
King Stork. Unless, however. they keep their
heads and refuse to let themselves be fooled by
demagogues and to use the Governors phrase
"adventurers OF selfguaranteed integrity" they
are likely TO plunge their companies into worse
evils than any they have known. They cannot
fail 10 see that political and financial advent
urers are carrying on organized campaigns 10
turn the insurance scandals TO their own ao-
vantage. II history teaches anything II is that
the most unprincipled and selfish agitators al
ways come TO the surface in any social upheavaL
aud almost always leave the people the victims
OF misplaced confidence The dsillusionized and
indignant citizen is easily led away by the loud
est mouthed and most radical preacher against
his wrongs. The insurance funds oner the great
est temptation 10 men who would make the mis-
use to which they already have been put seem
the most conservative and altruistic financing.
The policyholders therefore should be on
their guard about giving their proxies TO SEN
sationalists and others not clearly entitled 10
their confidence They should also use discrim-
ination In dealing with present trustees. If they
want TO make real naturalization a success they
will exercise careful judgment and not be car
ried away by general impressions. All men,
bers of existing boards are, of course, compro-
missed in the eyes Of pOlcyhOlders but in some
cases unjustly. The law wisely postpones until
September 10 the execution of proxies for the
election, and meantime the policyholders have
az opportunity to calm themselves, TO get clear
idea Of the situation and 10 realize that their
properties are safe and that there is no need for
panic. but only for conservative reform.

FIREHEY AND POLICE.

Doubtless. as Chief Croker charges. there have
been instances Of police interference with the
fremen in their work OF fighting flames. 1t
would seem, however, that the Fire Chiefs re-
sentiment al such meddling led him into an error
OF judgment at the fire on Monday night. when
he rejected the professional advice of an ambu-
lance surgeon. who decided that a certain fire.
man was seriously injured and should be re-
moved 10 a hospital Apparently the only
ground for the Chiefs action was that police
man had called the ambulance without con-
sulting him. That the physicians advice was
sound was afterward proved by the fact that
when the injured man had been removed to an
other hospital il was found that further delay
would have endangered his life.
One fact stands out clearly as a result of
this dlscreditable incident, namely, that in the
interest of public safety Fire Commissioner
O'Brien and Police Commissioner Bingham
should speedily come TO an agreement defining
the functions of their respective forces. and
that each Commissioner should thereafter hold
his men strictly TO the terms OF the pact.

Years ago ascensions were among the attrac-
tions of the county fair. Perhaps they are still
resorted to adjunct OF agricultural shows
and similar exhibitions. But they are so infre-
quent that even distant glimpse of balloon
is a great novelty to the majority OF people
Curiosity on the subject is perfectly legitimate
Though the throng which assembled at the point
where "LOrient' descended was, in the main
composed of strangers TO the aeronauts. the
feelings which actuated them were, on the
whole as innocent as those of the personal
friends who followed the balloon in automo-
biles. Besides, most Of the pushing. if not ali
Of IL, came from persons who did not realize
what would be the probable consequence OF ex-
cessive eageyness on their part. 1t might be
unjust, therefore to blame anybody but the
handful Of men who senselessly and maliciously
attacked the champion Of the aeronauts.
Whether or not this be correct view of the
case. however the Glendale incident is likely
TO excite misgivings in the breasts OF many
members of the Aero Club. They are planning
to make just such voyages as that of the Count
de la Vaulx during the next six or eight months,
and they cannot regard with cheerfulness the
possibility that the fate which '.L'Orient' SO
narrowly escaped may overtake their balloons.
But to a considerable extent the matter will be
within their own control Much depends on the
choice Of a landing place. If it Is pretty we'll
populated, as is the western part Of Long ISL
and It will be hard TO avoid a crowd If an
open farming country Is selected, there will be
a better assurance OF immunity. AS between
the two. II is obvious that too little company is
preferable to too much. Assistance in packing
and shipping a balloon back TO town may be
requisite, but one two extra pairs Of hands
ought TO be enough for that purpose. Shun the
maddlng crowd, gentlemen, and you'll be safer
than otherwise.

BANK CLERKS MUST TAKE VACATIONS
Thefts Like Those of Turney and Alvord Not
Possible Without Daily Attendance

officials of the National Bank OF North America
nearly convinced that Joseph A Turney spent
all the money he stole from the bank, and that
none OF the $4,000 will be recovered. They
were told yesterday that Turney would soon get
inheritance of some thousands OF dollars. but
they not able to verify the story. II any
tangible estate which Turney has a claim n
uncovered. the officials say. the banks attorneys
will take prompt steps to attach H.
1t was ascertansd in Wall Street yesterday that
One of the banks have made practice of COM
pelling all thei< employees to take vacations OF az
lsas, fortnight each to prevent such stealing
that performed by Turney. Such practice has
been followed ~ OF the banks ever since
Alvord stole over half million dollars from the
First NationaI Bank
The methods employed by Alvord and Turney TO
cover up thefts extending through several years
make daily attendance a a bank necessary. An
absence of week or two would permit OF q dis
cOvery of the shortage in accounts. because checks
could not be held back from day to day TO make
the books balance Now il Is probable that most
of the banks In the city viii insist annual va
cations by employees of all grades.

Mr.. Storer Still Ill-No Steps Taken by

Vienna, April 2-The Foreign Minister. Count

New-York tribune., 1906-04-04

large proportion of the women in factories are
under age In many industries there are as
many women between sixteen and twenty as
there are over twenty-one. They are subjected
to an increasing strain with our rapid machin-
cry, and laws for their protection can be sharply
differentiated from those prescribing hours for
men, only secondarily for health and primarily
TO meet the demands of organized labor. Nearly
half of these women are under age and are en-
titled to the states guardianship. As TO the
Others the Supreme Court has said. TO quote
Holden VS.. Hardy once more:
But the fact that both parties are of full age
and competent TO contract does not necessarily
deprive the state OF the power to interfere,
where the parties do not stand equality,
or where the public health demands that one
party 70 the contract shall be protected against
himself. The state still retains AN interest in
his welfare. however reckless he may be.
If any class of workers do not stand on an
equality with their employers and need protection
against themselves they are women in factories.
With four justices holding that even the bakery
law was constitutional, it is difficult TO believe
that the regulation of women's labor would lot
be held by at least one more to be covered by
this doctrine, and certainly nothing short of the
United States Supreme Court should be permit
ted to stand in the way of saving young women
from the evils of night work in factories and
consequent night exposure on the streets.
