OF singers and Of harpers. past

Unto a quiet, rcstful place,
Where Mary sat. with wistful eyes
And tender smile and outstretched
hands,
To welcome him to Paradise?
He was so small and mothcr-lost.
SO dazzled, and so half-afraid,
He could not bear the bliss of heaven
Or view the hosts in white arrayed
Until the rlasping loving arms
And gentle voice dispelled his fears,
And dimmed the memory Of pain,
And dried the last faint trace Of

And rocked him till with life clate

A day or two ago the Tribune took
occasion to print short paragraph
calling attention to the fact that the
agents whom the people of this coun-
try elect to serve them, whether In
rational, state, county or municipal
Offices, are becoming altogether too
fatherly- Just as soon as man is
placed in an office, from a president
down to city hall janitor, he be-
comes inspired with the paternal in
Stinct and goes TO work to regulate
somebody or something from a railroad
magnate down to the mayors cat.
This may be thought by some TO indl-
cate singular development Of philan-
thTopy in the American officeholder or
the present day: but somehow it
strikes us as nothing more nor less
than a desire to show off-to pretend
that to be a president or a janitor is
an indication of a divine calling with
greater or less addendum of regula-
tive responsibility.
And the worst part of it is, there
is no use telling these fellows that
any such notion is not at all in con-
formity with the principles of a DEM
ocratic government; that they are
nothing in the world but certain con-
venient peTsons-generally those hav-
ing no other occupation or visible
means of suppOrt-who are honored in
being chosen to serve tmark you,
serve) the people. Not a bit OF 1t.
No matter how earnestly they may
have taken this sane view of the mat
ter in their unofficial days, just as
soon as they step into some public
place, they all become little fathers"
and go to work telling us all what to
do truincr IN Sn1nE If don
do it, And this thing is growing with
the most startling rapidity. 1t is be-
coming a COMPOUNDED nuisance. AS
everybody knows, there is no concern
of state, corporation, society, COM
pany or individual which is not med

that king of busybodies, Teddy Roose-
welt, down to various governors, may

been the speed acceleration in bill
passing by legislators that this year,
as we have before noted, some TO-
900 got through legislative bodies in
the United States, as compared with
about half that number five years ago.
One of the more fragrant cases
wherein this fatherly regulation has
| been attempted for many years, mas

! both young and old. in their patriotic
celebration of the Fourth of July. 1t

quite barren of results. but they have

have delayed the patriotism of few
new immigrants. The very men who,
as small boys, popped the most crack

old ladies, set fire to the most stables

CRIME COSTS AMERICANS VAST
TOTAL OF $4,000 900 A YEAR

The cost of crime to the government
reaches the enormous sum of s140,-
100000 Of this sum sS0.000,000 is
expended in a certain percentage of
the maintenance of the supreme and
federal courts, United States district
attorneys, United States marshals
and the secret service bureau; part
of it is the cost Of crime to the treas
ury department to prevent smuggling,
the cost of crime TO the army and the
navy and to the Tostofice and to al
lied departments.
The government losses by smuggling
and postal frauds, ETC., add the $780,
600, 000 to maAe the aforesaid total.
In the last statement, which is only
an estimate of what the national
government pays for crime it should
be remembered that there are no re-
liable figures on the subject In es-
timating the government losses at
$50 100000 year for smuggling,
fraud, ETC., the writer has endeavored
to keep strictly under the mark.
1t is estimated that the gCvern-
ment loses from $4,000. 900 to $780,
000, 900 year by smuggling alone;
while the postoff1cei frauds are be-
lieved to have cost the government
something like s40,0eo,oe0 a year
The detailed cost of crime in the
United States presents some astound-
ing figures. In 1907 the cost of crime
in Greater New York was S35, 562, ;
1894. The state, county and city au-
thorities outside of, Greater New York
spent for it s42 COS, 1875. In forty
FIVE states tNew York excepted,) the
expenditure w8s $697, $50, 900. Crimi-
nal losses by fires totaled 500. 000,-
900. BY cOStums frauds the national
government lost $4,000, 000.
During this one year the loss IN
wages of 100000 state prisoners was
SIS, 000. geo, while the loss in wages of
100, 900 prisoners in city and county
jails was s3S, 600, 000.y The grand 6otsl

United States reaches the stTpencous
figures of s1.076 .327. SOS. 90.

pledge that, if the convention should
fail to maintain a school of high or

to Lake City" This would create the
anomaly of an estate in fee simple
