THE CALM. SANE NAN"

There is something deliciously funny about
the Endorsement Of District Attorney Jerome as
a calm. sane man" by Mr.. Wesley NJ Oler
head of the Ice Trust. All the city is laughing
over it. including we hope. Mr.. Jerome himself
with his fine, alert apprecative sense Of humOr.
Those who do not feel the halter draw have ex-
celent reasons for q good opinion OF the law
this Is said without any reflection upon Mr..
Jeromes Judgment in regard TO the matter
which he approached lin n sensible business
ike way" 1t is human nature that man
whose methods had been criticised should
press his sincere admiration of public pros
ecutor whose view Of those methods exactly
coincided with his own And II must amuse
Mr.. Jerome. the humorous and cynical phloso
pher. To think that. accustomed as he once was
to extravagant laudattOn, the only sincere and
unqualified praise which has been publicly be-
slowed upon him during his second term is Mr..
OIer's
But Mr. Jerome hardly needed the ndorse
ment Of Mr.. Oler. There was time when Mr..
Oler's words would not exactly have summarized
the general view. When Mr.. Jeromes name
was mentioned everybody thought OF the sen
satiOnal raid on Canfield's the midnight descent
on Hannah Elias and the District Attorneys
thousand and one exhibitions OF his youthful
capacity for injudicious utterance. Impetuosity.
sensationalism and a love of public applause
with the District Attorneys name. If Mr. Oer
had then written of Mr.. Jerome that he
calm sane man" everybody would have been
astonished at the aScrIption of such qualities.
but now the public mind has changed regarding
the District Attorney and everybody recognizes
the Justice of Mr. Olers language Mr.. Jerome
is one Of the calmest men I'm public life Where
once we heard it said that Mr.. Jerome had not
the judicial temperament not even that minor
degree of it which the best prosecutor must
have now we are assured that he is really af-
ficted with the judicial temperament to such a
degree as 10 make him an Ineffective District
ATTORNEY. Has Mr.. Jerome changed or do we
know him better? What has become of the
midnight raids with axes. crowbars. battering
rams and reporters? Not single injudicOus
utterance such as would wreck the public
career of any other man than Jerome" has been
recorded in the public prints during twelve
month. Where Is that mordant humor which
used to delight his admirers? Where are the
epigrams where the laughter provoking char
acterizations of public men: Has the District
Attorney abandoned this gift to Mr.. Oler?
Mr. Jerome is calm. sane man. The convic-
ton that he is has been growing upon us sll for
more than a year. and Mr.. Oler has merely put
tersely and exactly the public conception of
him. It must amuse the repressed cynical phil
oSonher in Mr. Jerome TO see that the calm sane
man is less popular than he who was reputed
to be the reverse. but the pleasure of having
Mr. Jerome's real quality first infallibly de
scribed by the Ice Trust president will almost
make the people forgive the District Attorney
for disappointing them.

MR.. KINGS PROTEST.
Objects to Proposed Improvement to
Mills Avenue

The announcement made several weeks
ago that the Commissioners are going to
seek legislation from Congress to widen
and further improve Mills avenue north
west has called for a vigorous protest
from M c. King of 1910 Park road north
west who is halloween of a small piece
of property on Mills avenue. He present
ed several reasons why this proposed wild
enng should not be done on Mills avenue,
chiefly because the so-called avenue is in
reality road and does not conform with
the city streets, and the widening would
take from him the most valuable part of
his property, and that he cannot afford to
pay the special assessments which will be
levied against him for improvements.
In his letter of protest Mr.. King said:
"By referring to the official maps of the
streets you will see that three streets al
ready run through by tract of land, name
ly. Irving, Hamln and 22d streets. When
the rapacious Commissioners take posses
sion of these streets, with the widening of
Mills avenue, 1t will be seen that there
will be very little property left, which was
obtained by the savings of a life time of
half is everything I possess in this world
except six feet Of ground In a cemetery.
Therefore l cannot afford to lose this
property.
This protest has been referred to Capt.
Morrow, assistant engineer commissioner,
in charge of District highways, and the
fate of Mr.. Kings property will depend
entirely upon the recommendation Cap
tain Morrow makes to the Commissioners.
