SLOW DOWN A BIT!

With the present developments on
Irving avenue, West Commercial
and Twenty third streets, it begins to
look as if halt had better be called in
the scheme of public Improvements
and the city spared the likelihood Of
further damage and injunction suits
than are now imminent For imminent
they are, and the city's pleas, in any
Of the cases, are not of the soundest.
II exceeding care is not taken, here
after, in the projecting OF such enter
prises, in laying down the bases OF
procedure, in the engineering, meas
uring up of materials, and manner OF
doing the street work generally, there
is going to be some very interesting
steps taken for the protection OF the
taxpayer, if the declarations Of some
Of this class Of citizens are to be
believed. This is the exact moment
to slow down a bit, get our bearings,
reform our methods and qualify the
whole situation, for the good Of all
concerned.

long run and will reduce the annoy
ance and friction inseparable from
the legal contention aroused under
existing conditions.

TAFTs SPEECH TODAY.

We shall not be surprised il the
great speech delivered today by Judge
William H. Taft, Republican nomi-
nee for the Presidency, before the
Virginia State bar, will constitute
one Of the extraordinary episodes Of
the campaign and, perhaps, plainly
mark the course he will pursue, in an
administrative sense, if he shall be
elected, when issues shall arise call
ing for the application of the prin-
ciples enunciated. He deals with the
law, its relation to the poorer citi-
zen in contra-distinction to its opera
ton for the rich man, especially in
the matter of continuances and the
dillatory practices now admittedly
oppressive; and its concern and con-
nection with the corporate life and
interests OF the nation.
The subject is an immense one and
fraught with profound lessons; but
none too large, nor too profound, for
this able jurist, who will treat the
issues as they deserve and plead the
doctrine OF simple justice, quite aside
from the splendid anticipations he
may cherish, and for the good of the
whole people, whose representative
he has been. is and will be- There can
be no doubt of the exhaustive char
acter of his discussion of these great
questions, since he is to make the
argument before the trained hundreds
of great bar association which
counts among its members some of
the legal lights of the nation, and the
whole concourse eagerly alert for
such disquisition as he shall make,
not to criticise, but to learn, as from
master mind among them.
We may be mistaken, but we look
to see this address made great use
of as cardinal expression upon one
of the weightiest subjects OF public
concern; declaration that will strike
another keynote OF national right
eousness in the scheme of organic
human intercourse.

INSANE LEPER ABROAD.

Arizona has set a pace in civic
carelessness that is likely to bring
down upon her head the anathema OF
the coast country generally il the
evil results inherent in the situation
shall materialize anywhere. She has
permitted the escape from quarantine
of Mrs Wardell, the insane leper,
and the woman's whereabouts are a
mystery to everybody save few in
innate friends who have defeated the
authorities and laid the country liable
to an ugly invasion of the malignant
malady.
Mrs. Wardell's case was very pit
liable, she having lost her husband
recently and while both were in du-
ress on account OF the wife's affiiction
and in turn having become raving
maniac. There can be no accounting
for what disaster she may bring up
on the community in which she is
hiding, no matter how carefully she
is secluded. There is but one doctrine
for the safe handling OF leprosy, and
that is complete isolation, a course
hardly adhered TO by Mrs. WardelPs
over-zealous friends in abetting her
surreptitous movements in fight.
She, herself, being unamenable to
control and correction and unable to
contribute, in any degree, to the safe
ty of others in the case it will be a
marvel indeed if grave consequences
are not heard of in this matter.
