fortunate indeed that no one was in

Some think that the famous outlaw OF the

MIR. Hunter In ms research Into the person
and period Of Robin Hood holds that he
was born between 1885 and 1905. living
through the reign of the second Edward
and into the early years OF the third. lie
was Of family OF some station seated near
Wakefield and supported the Earl OF Lam
caster In his rebellion against the Govern

were prescribed Robin Hood took to the
woods and supported himself by Staying
the wild animals found In the forest and
by levying species Of blaokmall on passen-
gers along the great road which united
London and Berwick This continued for
about twenty months. from April, 1922, to
December. 1928. when he fell into tho King q
power. who for some unknown reason not
only pardoned him but gave him place at
court. Anyhow. a man OF the name OF
RobyB Hode was "vadet" OF the King In
1924.
DR.. Spencer T. Hall says that Robyn was
created Earl of Huntington by London

that the knoy 'ledge Of their abaseraent
has been drivUn horNe to them by com.
paTison Of their OWL condition with tina;
Of the Japanese, who elect the members
Of their Parliament and who are deemed
worthy by Great Britain Of an offensive
and defensive alliance. The educated
Bengalis-thanks to British rule, a large
majority of the adult males have had
some education-are keenly alive to
the fact that they possess a civilization
immeasurably older than that of the
Japanese, and they cannot, therefore,
comprehend why they should be con-
sdered by their masters lees worthy OF
self-government. They look westward
and see the Shah of Persia, who
on November 23 published an edict
abolishing the Persian Constitution,
compelled on the following day by the
British, acting in conjunction with the
Russian representative at Teheran,
to retract his arbitrary utterance and
reestablish the organic law. In educa-
ton, however, and in qualifications for
autonomy the Persians cannot for an
instant stand by the side of the Ben
gals.
But, it may be objected. the popula-
ton of Japan or of Persia is homo
geneous, whereas that OF Bengal
and that of India as whole is
made up Of discordant elements. Of
which the Hindu and Mohammedan are
only the two numerically most impor-
tant. That is true, but an exact coun-
terpart may be found in Turkey, where
nevertheless the new Constitution gives
equal political rights, including repre-
sentation in the national parliament,
to Moslems, Greeks, Armenians and
Jews Nowhere has the Young Turk
uprising for self-government on basis
Of religious federation and equality re-
ceived such ardent sympathy and Wig
orous support as it commands from the
people and Government Of Great Brit
ain. Why, ask the sardonic Bengalis,
are the English so enthusiastic for the
Turks and so Indifferent to the aspira-
tions of their native subjects in India?
That is a question which the average
Englishman seems not yet to have even
asked himself. He will have to answer
it before long.

The Head of the Police.

One of our esteemed contemporaries
announces that the Charter Revision
Commission, which was appointed by
Governor HUGHES to propose amend
1dents to the Greater New York Char
81 for adoption by the next Legisla-
tsire, has decided on plan for the con-
troll OF the Police Department that will
eliminate Commissioner BINGHAM.
The scheme is to provide for Chief
If Police who must be chosen from the
Uniformed force, and who, although
nbminally under the control of the Com
missioner, will really be the head of
the department.
This is all wrong The nominal and
the real head of the Police Department
of the City of New York should be one
and the same person.
IL 1t be true, as Ia asserted by former
superintendent BYRNEs and other crit
ies, that the police cannot be efficiently
eoverned and managed except by a
man who has risen from the rank Of a
natfolman, let us change the law accord
tn0ly and provide that the Commits
ni6ner himself must be selected from
afnong the members of the uniformed
force. 1t is silly and dishonest, however
- try to put the department under the
direction of such an officer, denying him
his true official status and bestowing
the formal and empty honor of higher
osticial title upon another who is not
Intended to be the real head Of the de-
nartment,
We are opposed to any and all sub
tSffuges of this sort. ln'political affairs
Is in everything else it is best that ap-
ptnrances should represent realities.
s. Commissioner BINGHAM is incapable
khich we do not believe-let the Mayor
S-z,-4..zseye him If the Police Department
osi1net be efficiently administered ex-
ctpt by a graduate from the uniformed
f6Fce, amend the charter so as to require
future Commissioners to be policemen.
But don't whip the devil round the
stump by vesting the real power Of
administration in one officer and the
noininal power in another.

The Grave situation Ia India.

According to dispatches from Cal
ciltta the Governor-General, Lord
MlNTo, has had to cut short his tour
In the north in order to consider means
Of coping quickly and effectually with
the native disaffection which has gath
cred head throughout the great prov
inre of Bengal and is now more threat
eiling than it has been for many years.
The time seems close at hand when the
lives and property Of European civil
iahs will be unsafe unless under mill
tary protection. Many recent Incl
dents have disclosed hitherto unsus-
pected depths of racial hatred and a
concerted defiance of constituted au-
thprities which no Government desir-
o!is of retaining respect can tolerate,
Ehorts to kill European officials are of
almost daily occurrence, and extraor-
dihary precautions have been taken to
safeguard Lord MIMIC.
How has it come to pass that the Ben
calls, who used to be looked upon as the
niSekest and most timid inhabitants of
India, now show themselves capable
Nibeing driven by race hatred and des-
ptration to lacts OF furious violence?
The answer, although Britain's ruling
classes stubbornly shut their eyes to
{ IL is patent TO outsiders. The British
have given the Bengali an education
and suffered him to hope to ALI some
minor administrative posts; but they
have withheld from him truly represen-
iative institutions. To him Is con-
ceded no substantial share in the gov
eminent of his country. 1t is true that
the latest proclamation of the King
Emperor EDWARD contains a promise
Of Improvement in that direction, but
the promise Ia yet to be carried out and
u itself it falls far short of what was
hoped for.

lkck Of any large share in self-govern-
ment prove 30 insupportably CALLING
