the record of the soldiers and sailors OF the coun
try such as to leave little doubt that they would
have given in all cheerfulness their own lives
for the salvation of others. This is a simple rule
in all great organizations which depend for their
effectiveness chiefly upon iron discipline ,Ex-
pressive as il is of the highest form of hhman
courage, its manifestation is so frequent as to
rob it of more than passing interest Men under
such circumstances die as a matter of course: the
country accepts their sacrifice in the same spirit
But in this instance the rule changed.
The Imprisoned men did not have the opportun-
ity of becoming their own benefcent execu-
TONERS. Upon their comrades devolved the even
harder duty than taking their own lives, i'll the
taking of the lives of others The officers who
ordered the flooding Of the compartment, and
necessarily the death of the men in tho compart
ment. met the test of courage even higher than
that demanding the sacrifice of themselves Over
his own life. every man Is in sense the master.
1t is his to give In emergencies the readiness
with which the spirit destroys the body Is one
of the best evidences of the higher and more last
ing value of the spirit. But to act for the sake
of others by taking the life of others is to accept
even q deeper responsibility than by taking the
life of ones self. To accept ones own life at
such sacrifice is in any cause, the severest test
Of discipline.
Sometimes in the crises Of life, to die IS the
simpler alternative; to live is at once the harder
and the more courageous course.

A SACRIFICE TO sPOILS.

At personal sacrifice Bruce Simmons, an able
Norfolk lawyer, has for some years been serving
with conspicuous success as Police Justice of
the City of Norfolk.
in community Of cosmopolitan population
such a position calls for difficult fusion into
practical policy of many ordinarily conflicting
qualities To realize the possibilities of his
office the Police Justice must have the judicial
temperament divorced form the extreme
caution of the Judge in weighing evidence
He must have an extra judicial sense of
civic virtue at the same time opened-eyed to prac-
teal conditions. He must III peculiar sense
mix justice with mercy. In high degree he
must exercise without fear the widest discretion.
Dealing constantly with the very dregs of city
life, he must still preserve an acute sense of
humanity He must, while avoiding constant
appeals to sympathy, still keep his sensibilities
from becoming blunted. As the common forum
through which drift all the despair, all the
misery, all the hopelessness of those to whom
life is losing battle, he must at one and the
same time combine the Judge memorable to crime
and vice with the man sensitive to human weak
ness and confident of human hope.
1t is not saying too much for Bruce Simmons
to say that he conspicuously appropriated in
Norfolk the ideal of this position, easy to be
made into a power for good, so possible to be
twisted into one of injustice and oppression. He
mixed the lawyer and the magistrate, the judge
and the man, in thoughtful proportion. His
work was performed with intelligence with kind
ness, with determination. His value was and
is recognized by the city whole. It is recog-
nized throughout Virginia and iii the cities of
other States as hat OF an officer Ms nearly model
as the position itself will admit.
As strict measure of city politics, the Nor
folk Council has lately voted to GUST Mr.. Sim
mons as Police Justice. In doing so, the pre-
ponderating political sentiment voted for its own
favorite In doing 50 it was within the technical
right of that practical sort of politics which holds
as slogan. ITO the yictors belong the speilso But

A QUESTION OF GUESTS.


The Chicago Inter-Ocean, in editorial utter
ance upon the boorsh refusal Of Roosevelt to SIT
at table with one of the hosts whose hospitality
he had accepted, is mean enough to dig up Old
scores and indulge in biting comparisons
Charging that the Coloners affront to Senator
Lormer was merely the consummation of polit-
ical feud of seven years standing the lnter-Ocean
says that this charge is supported by the fact
that the ex-President ''made no objections TO
sitting at the same table with the leprous Busse,
beside whom Mr.. Lorimer is viewed, even by
his bitterest foes, paragon of social, politi-
cal and official virtue
We trust that the terms OF this comparison
are plain to both Roosevelt and Busse, both OF
whom doubtless recall the unfortunate incident,
two or three weeks after Mr.. Buses term as
Mayor Of Chicago began, when the new y elected
Mayor was among those present when, al an
early hour in the morning the laundering police
undertook TO raid" one of the more notorious of
the many Chicago dives

the Hamilton Club serves at least TO show that

for proved success. And it deprives the city OF
an officer whose service to the community has
been of distinct value and lasting good.
Mr.. James I. Duncan may prove success
as q Norfolk Police Justice. We do not know
that he will not ; we do not even positively doubt
that he will. But what we do know is, that his
substitution, in position of such delicate re
lations, for a man who has so well met their
demands is deplorablc circumstance. There is
always a line where the public good is superior to
any party or political consideration. There are
some positions so hard to realize that the city
fortunate enough to have them filled successfully
ought to grappe the man who does so with hoops
of steel The position of Police Justice falls
within this class. We have no shadow of doubt
that, in relieving Mr.. Simmons of his office, the
Norfolk COUNCIL has run counter to the majority
sentiment in the city; and We are certain that
at "a small price in poltical spoil, it has invited
risk that may prove distinctly harmful TO every
better interest within it.
