The Case of ThaW.

We will believe that the plan out
lined to take Harry X Thaw out of
the jurisdiction Of the New York courts
and free him will be successful when
il is actually done and not before. The
suit through which it is proposed to
get Thaw into Pennsylvania Is brought
by a POughkeepsie restaurant keeper
who has been furnishing Thaw his
meals. If he can be taken to Pittsburn
on this trumped-up proceeding in bank
ruptcy, it is then proposed to have a
friendly suit brought to test his sanity.
with the idea that he will be declared
sane by a Pittsburg jury, and will then
be safe as long as he keeps out of the
jurisdiction of the New York courts.
And we are told that the United States
courts are going to permit themselves
TO be used in this way. As we said
before. We viii believe it when we see
it. The treatment of Thaw for the
past few months has given a good deal
of room for the belief that there is one
law for the rich and another for the
poor in the State of New York, but
the plot outlined to free the man is so
bald a scheme to defeat the ends of
justice that it Is inconceivable that it
can be carried through.

true, and we know it IS, that lack of
confidence and a general impression
that business is going to be dull can
do much 70 produce dullHess, the re-
verse ought to be true. Not in long
time has there been observed a stronger
conviction in the minds of business
men that we are in for an era of pros
perity than there is now. With every
body feeling cheerful and certain of
the future, it would seem we are per
fectly safe in anticipating a business
revival that viii come to stay.

CUPID WINS VICTORY

Wall Street Man Will Marry Nurse
Who Brought Him Through

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-That the spirit
Of romance is not entirely lacking
among Wall street men was established

owens was assigned to attend the pa

Love and medical attention, Mr.. Ward
SAYS soon restored him to health, and
the announcement of the engagement of

ShOrtSighted Railroads.

Only men of parts can fight their
way to the head of great railroad sys-
TENS. If there are exceptions to this
rule, they are stool pigeons and their
existence does not affect the general
proposition that the actual control
rests with men of marked ability. 1t
Is specially strange, therefore, that
corporations so managed should under
take to retaliate upon the politicians
and the officials at whose hands super
vision has become something more than
a name, Big men, men of perception
and far-sight, might be expected to
know that nagging the Government
will not help them in any event.
Yet, out in the middle West, we had
not long ago the little spectacle of
railroad officials refusing to make spe-
cial rates for political meetings on the
ground that the politicians who sought
the special rates were responsible for
a general rate of 2 cents mile What
if they were? Was that the way to
prove the politicians wrong? Even
basing the refusal on other grounds
would have left the railroads in a bet
ter light But to undertake the pun
ishment of leaders who were in this in
stance notoriously led by their osten-
sible followers-the peoples the very
elimination of short-siehtedness.
Now comes a later instance of the
same mistaken policy. New Jersey has
a State railroad commission with rea-
sonably wide powers. Though not the
best equipped body of its kind in point
of law, it is still able to make an i'm
preston in behalf Of its recommenda-
tions. Heretofore, this commission has
passed freely over the railroads some
what as policemen and firemen pass
freely in and out OF theaters. The
roads were the field of the commits
sion's operations, its findings were Incl
dental to the, life-being of the roads,
and it was accepted as part Of the rail
roads responsibility to the public that
they should provide every facility Tor
making the inspection thorough.
But the Erie has this year antici-
pated inspection by proposing 20 the
commission that it pay a fat rate Of s.
a mile for transportation over the Erie
tracks in an observation engine. II
the commission must pay this charge,
the total for that road alone win ex-
ceed $500. Accordingly, the commits
sion-in the face of a new outlay Of
funds appropriated without forethought
of such a contingency-has been com
PEELED to stop and consider. Eventual
", Of course, either the $500 viii be
paid or the Erie viii cease biting off its
own nose. In any case, how short
sighted has the course Of its officials
beenl For if ever a road invited the
most exacting inspection of every bolt,
tie-plate, spike, and frog, it has been
the Erie in this instance.

any way the work or support OF Judge

Conland and Fits are entitled to as

1t must have been an oversight on

assertion that gave him the credit Tor
the passage OF the measure was not cor
rected, for he certainly would not have
laid himself so liable to public censure
as to claim that which he was not iusti-
fled in claiming. The matter seems not

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations are due q. Herbert
Pape OF Barre for his sweeping victory
J in the Democratic convention yesterday,
BY virtue Of which he will go to the
Democratic national convention as chair
man of the Vermont delegation. In view
Of the fact that the state Democracy is
for William j. Bryan for president, Mr..
fape was the logical candidate for the
important position, since he is an ardent
supporter Of the Lincoln man and is,
moreover, president OF the Vermont
branch OF the New England Progressive
League, which is out for Bryan first, last
and all the time.

The division Of Burlington's seventeen
votes in the Republican state convention
is the theme for pretty little curtain
lecture which the Burlington News de-
livers to the politicians who manouevred
the deal whereby Prouty got nine and
Stanton eight Of the votes. The News
describes the incident as the rape Of the
Republican party Of this town We
can agree with the contemporary in ques-
tioning the necessity for holding a eau.
Gus at all, since it had been decided by
the party managers there to "divry" on
the delegates. Then, too. the nine and
eight division may have expressed the
will of the Republican voters; if SO,
most certainly the majority should have
been given the right to the entire dele.
cation, seventeen votes. There is a good
deal to be explained about that caucus.
