Why New York City is Wicked.


There is one big, chief offender in
the present city government at whom
the ever ready finger of scorn can be
pointed. Men higher up surely exist,
but it is idle to fancy that such cor
rupt politicians can be to blame for
all the things that make some men
weep and drive others to frenzy. The
appalling reign Of lawlessness whose
close is not yet in sight has been
brought on by a vast number of rela-
lively slight imperfections and obstruc-
lions in our system of local govern
mant. A thousand grains of sand have
worked their way into the bearings of
the municipal machinery The courts
are overcrowded and this forces judges
and magistrates to race thru the dock
cts, releasing prisoners whenever the
evidence against them is not too strong
in many serious cases in order to Sc
cure a certain mild sentence instead
of an uncertain, severe one. The jails
are inadequate hence swarms of petty
offenders and some bigger rascals are
let off with fines or suspended SEN
fences. The juries, too, are absurdly
lax in convicting defendants. and in
some kinds of cases, such as offenses
against the concealed weapon law, they
regularly return verdict of acquittal
The police department is undermined,
it's patrolmen are not thoroughly
trained in the tricks of catching crooks
and preserving order, and discipline is
broken down here and there by cheap
politics and graft.

few DAYS ago a heartless terrier gave
birth to family Of pups and then
abandoned them.
The cat heard the puppies whining

see what the disturbance was. Short
ly after Terry was seen to emerge
from the aperture tenderly bearing a
diminutive puppy in her mouth which
she gently deposited among her kit
tens. -Four times she returned, each

/ in one instance, by levying 3 mill
tax. which is sufficient to pay the IN
terest and $4,000 of bonds due July l,
1908. This, in small way, meets that
which must be taken care of now
In doing this the tax levy as whole
has not been increased, but on the
contrary, reduced as the proposed levy
shows.
There are $4,000 Of water bonds
bearing interest at a rate of Az per
cent. due and optional January |, 1911.
1t seems but practical business prop
osition that now is the time, with the
ample income from water rents TO
establish fund that will be sufficient
to begin the canceling of these bonds
and reduction of interest. This seems
practical by reason of the extension
of water mains to the farthest limits
of the city. affording fire protection,
so that practically any further outlay
and expense along this line could
cease. and / would further suggest
that extension of water right service
to consumers should require at least
that there be sufficient consumers to
amount to from 6 to 8 per cent of the
cost of extension.
| believe the public generally would
be more pleased-tho Inconvenience
somewhat--to see a reduction OF IN
debtedness rather than an increase IN
the amount. With an income OF APP
proximately 100000 from water rents,
the $4,000 interest bearing ponds
should be taken care of from this
source. and it is now time to take this
matter IN for consideration,
do not believe it good policy to al
low the resources of the city to be
Slapped by a large interest bearing
debt, and 1t seems to me the duty OF
this council now is to, in every de-
partment, curtail expenditures by no
further outlay of money on new i'm
provements, only to meet the absolute
needs of the several departments.
The city council Is practically handi-
capped. and is unable to plan i'm
provements by reason of the present
financial condition, and the only way to
realize this is to become acquainted
with the facts. In this communica
