Motor Car Killings.

The New York grand jury has returned
an indictment for murder against a chauf-
feur who drove a machine by which q boy
was recently killed in the streets of that
city The charge Is based upon a section
OF the penal law of the state which de-
fines murder as the taking of life by an
act imminently dangerous to others and
evincing a depraved mind. regardless Of
human life. although without a premedi
tated design to effect the death of any in
diyidual" 1t will be important to OBJ
serve the course of this case, which
raises a new issue in criminal law. The
traditional definition of murder has been
the deliberate taking of human life, with
malice. aforethought" or design. This
involves elements which are obviously alb
sent from the taking Of life by what has
been generally regarded as accident.
whether accompanied by criminal reck-
lessness or not. There can be no malice
in the ordinary sense of the word in the
case OF a chauffeur whose machine sud-
denly strikes person whom he has never
seen before There is in all likelihood no
intent to do harm to the victim. There
is II Is true, in many cases, an absence
Of care and consideration for the rights
and the security of others which might
constitute the killing Of q pedestrian as
granddaughter under the usual definition
of that crime. 1t is hardly to be believed
that jury will agree that the penal code
CT the state is properly to be regarded as
defining a motor car killing as murder
however blameworthyr the chauffeur in
this instance may have been. Yet the case
serves to attract attention to the neces-
sity of a clearer understanding as to the
| legal liability of chauffeurs when life is
sacrificed to their speed or carelessness.

Maryland Arbor Day.

seryance in Maryland has undoubtedly
always been sentimental" and the cele-

There will be some consolation for the

The Appeal to Caesar.

In this matter of the tariff. the appeal
to Caesar. for the whole of the House
and for one-third OF the Senate. comes
next year. The people are Caesar, and
they will declare at the polls what they
think OF what is now being said and
done by their representatives in the two
houses of Congress.
And let it be remembered that the men
now making tariff history are well aware
Of this fact. They know election day.
and are bearing 1T in mind. They are
laying up treasure-or think they are
against that very interesting accounting.
From the people they came and unto
the people they must return. If their
record is approved they come again; If
not. private life-for while at least.
and maybe forever after-is their portion.
Nearly all of them want to come again.
Office, and office in Washington particu-
larly, is one of the strongest of lures.
We hear Of 1.-The itch for Office" There
is such thing. and once man catches
II he is likely to scratch all the rest of
his life. He scratches to get Office, and,
IL he succeeds. scratches then to keep 1t.
We may all, be well assured. therefore,
that the tariff history now being made is
very largely. if not altogether. for home
consumption. The man, republican or
democrat, whose constituents are interest
ed in a particular industry and want
II protected is voting for protection.
Sugar. rice. wool. hides. coal. iron ore.
lumber. what you please, all are being
remembered because the people produc-
ing them insist that they must be taken
into the account in the revision Of the
schedules. The senator or representative
who rejects the demands of his home
people digs his own grave: and few poll
ticians indulge knowingly in that en-
ployment. They do not mind playing the
part Of 'the old SEXTON" but prefer to
bury the other fellow.
The record in this particular of the
late William L. Wilson of West Virginia
is rare in our politics. He was a highly
accomplished man. and his constituents.
with every reason. were proud of him.
A convinced revenue tariff advocate, he
wanted all raw materials put on the
free list This touched his people on
the raw. so to speak, for coal mining
was their principal industry. Neverthe-
less. he favored. and voted for. putting
coal on the free list.
That vote sealed Mr.. Wilson's fate
politically. He lost his power at home,
and after accepting for short time
Office at Mr.. Cleveland's hands retired
altogether from politics. closing his days
as an educator in Virginia His course
was very consistent and courageous. but
not wise as gauged by the rule of prac-
tical politics. AS his people were for
protection. and believed that policy helped
them, they properly and naturally sent a
man to Congress who agreed with them
and who In Congress would vote for their
interests.

Alleys and the Public Health.

Supt Woods report of the operations
of the street cleaning department during
the recent crusade for cleaner city IN
dicates that Washington has been re-
lieved of an immense amount of trash
and refuse and is consequently In bet
ter condition as regards the public health.
The figures he submits will doubtless sur
prise many residents. The number OF the
private alleys and of vacant lots, cleaned
lately indicates the great area OF nor
mally unprotected space. No less than
800 alleyways were found to be In bad
condition. and were brought up to sani-
tary standard. It is impossible to es-
innate the malevolent effect of these foul
places upon the health of the dwellers
within range.
The superintendent makes an important
recommendation to the Commissioners,
that henceforth no subdivision be accept
ed for record unless provision Is made TOT
alleys at least nine feet in width. so that
they can be easily cleaned. 1t appears
that there are numerous little three-foot
passageways between lots. which are
ideal breeding places for the diseases in
cidental to filth. They are so narrow that
the municipal cleaners cannot penetrate
them with their machines. and the sun
light rarely reaches them. They tester
unnoted until some special occasion arises
such as the late campaign of cleanli-
ness.
1t would be in the interest of the public
health If provision were made for the
widening of these passages. They are Of
little practical use. They cannot be
used for the delivery of goods and are
merely supplementary entrances to stores
and dwellings which front upon the
streets. They may be occasionally of
convenience to the property holders in
affording additional means of egress and
ingress but the sanitary disadvantages
which they involve far outweigh whatever
benefits they may confer upon the prop
erty.
Washington suffers from the use of the
back passages for residential purposes. 1t
would be a cleaner city, physically and
morally, IL the alley tenements were
wiped out Of existence. If every dwelling
were located upon a formally defined
and fully equipped street. The problem
has grown during the years until it is
now extremely dificult of solution. Com
missions have Investigated and citizens
organizations have wrought in the in
terest of greater cleanliness and for the
betterment Of moral conditions. against
q heavy handicap of years of use and
growth. But whatever the dimculties and
obstacles, the occupied alleys of the city
remain the most pressing object Of reform
today in view. This report of the street
cleaning superintendent brings the mat
ter again to attention, in terms which
should cause a general revival of interest
in the subject.

Rayner.

Senator Rayner is not lost. but the wig
wan is. He is searching for it. But he
is not alone in his wanderings. There
are other old-fashioned democrats a lit
tie puzzled about where they are at. Let
him not despair. There will be cakes and
ale after the cry of down with protection
has ceased to vex the circumambient air.
We rarely get all we want in this world.

ITO beautify all back fences that abutted
