wants 1t. The roads are now fine,

time to haul to the roadroad and get
your cash for every pound Of wheat
you have to sell. However. many OF

insist that the price offered Is too
small, and that by the time they haul

R0STON RLEE LAWS.

The enforcement OF the Sunday laws in Bos-
ton is due to An unedifying quarrel of the sort
only too common in American cities. II the
police are criticised for not enforcing laws
which their eminently practical sense tells
them should not be enforced, they not unfre-
quently apply the redWctio dd dbSnrdam TO the
situation by enforcing laws which no one wants
enforced. which every one has forgotten or
which only moral cowardice has kept on the
statute books. Boston is suffering Just now
from such q demonstration of the absurdity of
the theory that anything but the eminent good
sense of the police should determine what laws
should be enforced and what should not. The
police are enforcing ali the laws, and 1t IS a
painful fact that in enlightened Boston as well,
indeed, as in every other American community
we know Of indscTiminate zeal reduces law
enforcement to an absurdity We have had oc-
casional examples of the process in this city
District Attorney Moran started the trouble;
that goes without saying. He is one of those
officials who feel that they have not earned
their salaries unless their doings ell q certain
space in the newspapers daily and are topped
by big headlines. He kept criticising the police
for their non-enforcement of this law and OF
that law. We shall not attempt TO pronounce
Judgment upon the fairness of his structures; ;
probably In many cases they were just The
police retorted tho next Sunday, after their
usual manner. by enforcing indscriminately
every blue law they could find on the books.
Everybody who was seen by an officer doing
stroke of work was summoned before magis-
trate for decision whether the work was one of
necessity. Twelve hundred persons in all were
thus brought TO justice week ago, and great
many of them paid fines, Sweeping sidewalks,
delivering Ice cream and other perishable ar
ticles of food shipping theatrical scenery and
effects, the playing of orchestras In hotels
these are typical instances of the kinds Of Sun
day work for which the police made arrests In
Roxbury. which Is n part Of Boston. some work
was being done Stony Brook. The contrac
tors decided 10 apply the reductio al abSurdum
tosthe police, and so quit work, with the result
that the brook over6Owed and filed the cellars
of nearby residents.
1t is usually said that IL useless or obnoxious
laws are enforced they will be repealed. Massa-
chusetts has had a special legislative committee
on Sunday laws sitting all summer, and It will
be interesting to see If the quarrel between the
pragmatc District Attorney and the obdurate
police will result In the striking from the books
of obsolete and mere "conscience' legislation.
At this distance It is hard to understand why
any one should be at any pains to apply TO Mr..
Moran the redWctfo dd dbsurdum. It does not
seem necessary.

THE MAYoRALTY RECOUNT.

The legal steps just taken at Albany TO pre-
vent rehearing Of Alr. Hearsts appeal indi-
cate that Mayor Mcclellan will keep I'D his fight
to block recount of the vote On which he was
declared elected. In pursuing this policy Mr.
Mcclellan subjects himself 10 mot unfounded
censure and reproach. 1t may be admitted
that, from a technical point of view, he
IS at liberty to hold that possession is nine
points of the law and that disputed p,fna
facie title is just as well worth defending as n
clearly established one But the public is not
pleased TO see great Office like the Aiayoralty
treated mere personal property and is dis
q greeably impressed BY over r-anxiety TO retain
and exercise power which may not have been
rightfully granted. The commission of a public
officer should be above suspicion, and defects in
his title should concern the holder Just as much
rs they do its supposed grantors or its assail-
ants. We think, In fact, that Mr. Mcclellan
would to-day enjoy far larger share of public
respect and public confidence IL Immediately
after his election in 1895 he had professed his
entire faith in the accuracy Of the count and
had challenged his opponent TO open the ballot
boxes and have the returns tabulated under
Judicial direction.
The American public loves courage and open
ness, and has little patience with claimants who
are satisfied 10 take refuge behind techmicalities
Governor Hughes struck popular note there

q measure which would resolve all doubts as to
the accuracy of the 1905 count. We do not be-
Leye In encouraging disputes over titles TO
Office where there is only an eager assump-
fion that mistakes and frauds have been COM
mitted. But once In a while it IS an excellent
thing TO get an inside view of the workings of
or election machinery. The conditions of the
Mayoraity canvass of 1905 were such ms TO test
that machinery in an exceptional way, for in
ordinary elections. when only two parties ere
arTayed against each other and both are repre

the errors OF tabulafion tend TO balance each
