A Hot Box on the Kings Train.

A story that comes from Geneva Switzer-
land, to the effect that an attempt was
probably made to wreck the train that re-
Gently carried King Edward to France,
would seem at this distance to have been
induced by a superheated imagination. At
all events, II 1t Is true. the methods of
European train-wreckers are quite differ
emit from those of their American brethren.
When the train was stopped at the en-
trance of the Simplon tunnel, after run
ming at the rate Of hundred kilometers
an hour-equal to about sixty-two miles
one of the axles was missing, and the axle
was at white heat. The car was removed
and the train proceeded, while the rail-
road officials instituted rigorous inquiry
We have hot boxes on our railroads
quite frequently. and no one has thus far
ventured to place them with other signs of
malevolent interference with the running
of trains. II we saw an anarchist plot

course require special training in pre-
ventive police work, but probably with sue
cessful results.
The probation officers of the Juvenile
Court are charged to large extent with
this task with relation to the children, and
the records demonstrate that they are saw
ing the city a heavy moral loss. They
are. however. too few in number and their
field of work is restricted. The adults are
in many cases in need of a similar adj
monitory Intervention by police officers or
probation officials. The courts have recog-
nized the preventive principle by adopting
the system of taking personal bonds, as
guarantee of future good behavior. But
the court does not follow up the defend
ants 1t releases upon these terms. If
there were preventive police force much
might be done to the end of emphasizing
the lesson taught by the first arrest and
the conditional release.
The fundamental principle of the inno-
walton just adopted in Brussels and Toledo
Is the peculiar adaptability of women to
the work of persuasion and prevention. If
courageous. tactful and sensible woman
charged with full police powers, stepping
into critical situation. may prevent crime
OF the last degree, may still angry pas
sions, may compromise differences and may
institute Individual reforms, all without
making an arrest In this connection 1t Is
interesting to note that the English police
man is rated. not according to the num-
Der of prisoners he hales to court but by
the number of arrests he does not make.
He is supposed to prevent trouble to check
outbreaks and to adjust matters so that
there will be no need of the active inter-
vention of the law in punishment

The New York Peace Problem

Mayor McClellan's position with reference
to the Tammany machine and the New
York factional embroglio has become ex-
ceedingly mysterious since the first an
nouncement that a peace pact had been ar
ranged between the warning dement's The
hrst statement of the truce indicated that in
exchange for Tammany's help in avoiding
a recount of the votes cast in the mayoralty
election Mcclellan guaranteed Tammany
immunity from primary contests and its
subordinate leaders and followers immunity
from police interference. Of course these
terms were not specifically stated but the
public was left to understand the case very
clearly. Immediately following the first dis
closure came two statements from the
mayor, in quick succession, declaring that
he had In no degree yielded from his an
tagonism toward Murphy and had not
pledged Tammany immunity and had not
exacted support to combat Hearst. His de-
mails were so explicit that the conclusion
was inevitable that there had been no
change in the situation and that the swords
were still flashing in the air
But the metropolitan public nevertheless
refuses to accept the mayors statement at
full value. The general belief is that
peace has been arranged and on substan-
lidiiS Tic terHiS originally stated. Inc tact
that despite the mayors emphatic repudia-
ton of the alleged peace treaty Chief Muir
ply has made no sign is regarded as sig
nifcant. 1t would appear that Murphy Is
willing to let the mayor do as E,uch deny
ing as he desires. 1t is significant also that
certain anti-McClellan activIries in the
Tammany executive committee have sud-
denly ceased. Perhaps further sugges-
ton as to the state of things will spring
from the fate of the recount propaganda,
now apparently halted by the lack Of legis-
lative acquiescence.
If there has been a peace arrangement
between Tammany and the mayor Of New
York 1t surely was very indiscreet on the
part of any one concerned to disclose the
fact. The mayors corporation counsel took
ii upon himself to proclaim the glad tidings.
Maybe today he is sorry he spoke. Possibly
he has discovered that 1t Is unwise too pre-
cipitately to proclaim the fact that two APP
parently implacable enemies have agreed to
cease fighting. The public is always sus-
picous of sudden conversions, and this sus-
pcion in the present case persists even In
the face of the mayors rather strenuous
denials and the corporation counsers la
bored attempts at explanation.

Entertainers and Serious Roles.

The Mobile Register in some remarks on
the subject of John Temple Graves latest
suggestion, says:
The point we make is that for Bryan to
nominate Roosevelt would be for him to
assassinate the democratic party. Mr.
Graves has offered Mr. Bryan the dagger
the which Mr.. Bryan has gracefully and
with certain amount of firmness refused.
That is probably the last appearance of
Mr. Graves In serious role"
What is the Registers idea of "a serious
role? And what is its idea of Mr.. Graves ?
The fluent Georgian is not in office, nor
does he aspire to office He is responsible
only to himself. Like most people. he has
probably his own interests first in view
What is best for Graves in his business?
How may he hope to advance his fortunes
while passing through this vale of tears?
These are the questions with which that
gentleman is occupied.
Mr.. Graves is public entertainer. His
tongue is buster than his pen. He must
give his audiences the worth of their
money. He must keep himself well adver-
Gsed. The more the public is kept talking
about Mr.. Graves the more Mr.. Graves
finds to talk about to the public. People
want to see the man about whom they
hear much. And when his lecture is
announced they fill the hall. He beams
upon a sea of upturned faces all waiting
for something new, the latest thing, from
the man who has so rare a knack of say
ing unexpected things.
Consider for a moment how this surpris-
Ing piece of advice to Mr.. Bryan will affect
MIR. Graves lecture season. which is just
opening. That 1t will swell the gate re-
ceipts is certain. Everybody, in. one way
OF another. has been discussing it. What
II the practical politicians have ridiculed it?
That has been so much to the good in the
way of an advertisement. Mr.. Graves
name has been carried to sections where
before it was unknown; and in sections
where it was familiar it has caused at least
a lot of lively speculation. I'D like to
hear from this man Graves further on that
pint observes the stranger in a rural dis
trict. Il wonder what John Temple will
say next" observes the old acquaintance.
smilingly. And both buy ticket for the
next Graves discourse.
Mr. Graves last appearance in a serious
role? He'll continue making such as long
as he lives. He is trained for such APP
pearances. He is at his best in making
them. II is his business. There is a large
American public now which demands, and
pays literally for, novelties and surprises
of every kind. 1t is the logical that is to-
day the humdrum and uninteresting. 1t is
the fantastic that pays. The entertainer
who can make two hairs stand on end
where only one stood before, or increase
the expanse of a smile is the chap of the
hour. Trust Mr.. Graves, in such a contest,
to hold up his end of the stick

the result ordinarily that the train finally
comes to a halt as the bearing heats and
chokes.
In any case the sinister suggestion that
anarchists are after King Edward Is ex-
ceedlngiy unwelcome. for the British mon
arch is doing at this time a work of inn
mense importance in Europe, serving the
best ends of the peace propaganda by
bringing about a better personal under
standing between the sovereigns and
cementing the alliances which make for
stability of conditions.
