IT is our candid opinion that the
most odious skunk in journalism or
politics, ir New York or elsewhere, Is
that fellow Hearst. How he ever
attained such a place and standing
in the political or newspaper world
is to US past finding out, and we can
only account for it on the grounds OF
his money. Without the power OF
his dollars he would be without fol-
lowing or influence even among the
habituates OF the Bowery or the
siums. Hearst's latest performance
in regard to the Gaynor and Block
episode puts the stamp upon him in
bis true colors.

Criminal Court

What promises to be one of thA most important and interesting terms of the criminal court Is to convene Mon day, and for the first time in the past twelve years Is not to be conducted in the court house. but in armory hail, or court house annex.
