WHERE PENSIONS ARE DESERVED.

Mr.. Loeb. the Collector of the Port of
New York, is reported to have inscribed
his name first on a petition TO Congress
asking for the granting Of pensions in
the Life-Saving Service. There are
those who will envy him the privilege
of standing first on that roll OF apprecia-
ton, and therefore OF honor, and we shall
expect TO hear that many other names
have been eagerly added to the hist But
however many or few they may be. Con-
gress should not need special urging to
incline il TO do an act Of justice TO men
who are not surpassed in the public ser
vice III the righteousness and pelils of
their work or in the devotion and sue
cess with which that work is done.
These men belong in the civil and not
the military service. it is true, and there
may be much room for difference Of
opinion concerning the ACCESSIBILITY Of
general system Of civil pensions. Yet it
is obvious that in the very nature of
their work the members Of the life-Sav-
fnc crews stand apart from most if not
all other civil servants. Their duties
resemble. rather. those Of sailors and
soldiers None are more eXactiug. None
require greater privations and exposure.
None are fraught with greater risks to
limb and life Summer vacation makers
who visit life-savin& stations may think
that the men have a jolly time in their
snug houses. They would thigll differ
emily if they saw them patroliing the
beach in q binding and freezing mid
night winter storm, OF putting ont in a
cockIeshell boat through breakers which
have just wrecked some huge ship.
Their mission is 10 risk their own lives

In respect To civil servants generally
il is argued by opponents Of the pension
system that with a permanent tenure
Of place they should be able in the

TIE CONTINUANCE OF CONSPIR4-
TTEE

The decision Of the Supreme Court
that Gustave Z. Kissel and Thomas Z.
Harmed must stand trial for their part
in the alleged conspiracy by which the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company
was kept out of business is of great i'm
p0rtance TO the federal government
Not only will it make possible the prose-
cuUiOn. of the American Sugar Company's
directors who are charged with partici-
patton in the same alleged conspiracy.
but it broadens the applicability Of the
Sherman antitrust act and renders
prosecutions under it easier for the gov
eminent. The decision that conspiracy
is a continuing offence makes escape
under the statute of limita tionS difficult.
One accused to obtain the benefit OF that
statute viii have TO show that the con-
spiracy ended through the completion
of its purposes or their abandonment
more than three years before prosecu-
ton was attempted.
The decision is in accordance with
plain common sense. When a conspiracy
SURPRISES competition it is natural and
reasonable to regard the conspiracy not
as consisting simply of the original
agreement by which competition was
suppressed but Of the whole process of
agreeing and carrying out the agreement.
lastiAg as long as the purposes of the
original agreement are being adhered 10
and accomplished, and as long as cOmpe-
tition is being suppressed in pursuance
of that agreement. AS the court very
effectively said: when the plot contem-
plates bringing TO pass continuous CO
operation of the conspirators to keep 1t
up, and there is such continuous CO.
operation, it Is perversion Of natural
thought and of natural language TO cali
such continuous cooperation cine

A COMMITTEE on COMMITTEES.

4 Committee on Committees in the
House Of Representatives under Demo
cratic control seems to be a foregone con-
cluSion. 1t viii be an interesting expert
ment. Its appointment need not detracr
at all from the efficiency Of the Speaker
in promoting the transaction of business
or the floor, though by completing the
process of decentraliZing the power
which gradually accumulated in the
Speakership it promises TO put an end
to the conditions under which it has been
felt that the Speaker is. second to the
President, the most important officer IN
the federal government. The decentralf-
zation is natural enough. though it re-
verses the tendency which for a long
time has been eXalting the Speakership.
Ne legislative body could be forever CON
tent with a system which unnecessarily
concentrated vast and easily abused
powers in the hands Of one person, and
their concentration had become unpopu-
lar not only among the Representatives
themselves but among their constituents.
The Committee on Committees will
probably therefore be a popular institu-
ton TO begin with. Irrespective of its
merits as a legislative device the people
Will be inclined 10 applaud it as bring
ing more democracy into the organiZa-
ton Of the House and putting an end TO
the possibility of one man rule. Never
theleSs. the committee itself may come
10 incur the same dislike which has at
tended the Speakership. In the place of
q Gar it has been said the House will
have an oligarchy. Probably that will be
the tendency. The committee, through
its control Of the 'plums," may build up
a machine out of those who enjoy them
or expect them under the custom IF
seniority, and it may thus tend to be
come self-perpetuating. But in place Of
one man having il his grasp all the
power Of the Committee on Committees.

NOT 4 CoHMEND4BL1 THREAT.

NOT 4 COHMEND4BLC THREAT.
Mr.. Upton Sinclair, young socialist
agitator whose sensational writings and
unlucky experiment at organizing a so
ciaIist community IN New Jersey have
gained for him some public notice, has
been writing to the President Of the
United States in behalf of q fellow So
cialist who has had some disagreement
with the postal laws and with the United
States courts and who consequently finds
himself under sentence of fine and i'm
prisonment Mr. Sinclair thinks that his
friend was prosecuted and unjustly coll
denned, to which opinion he is, of
course. perfectly entitled. He asks the
President to grant the man a pardon.
which he is, of course entitled to ask.
But then he makes prediction or a
statement, in its terms tantamount to i
threat, Of what will happen if the par
don is not granted. in which we must
regard him as going beyond the limit
Of pFopriety and discretion.
If the President does not pardon the
man and thus administer rebuke to the
VIII Altll, MI
says:
There can be but one result; the men
who are to-day devoting their efforts to
effecting social transformations through
legal and constitutional methods will be
driven to thinking of eXtra-legal and
extra unconstitutional methods, and the
revolution which is inevitable in this
country within the present decade will
be revolution OF violence instead of a
political revolution.
In brief. if the President does not
pardon this man at Mr.. Sinclair's de-
mand the socialists will resort to crime
and violent rebellion against the gov
eminent. Now, we have no expectation
of seeing Mr.. Upton Sinclair leading Or
even following III any such crazy esca-
pade. But really be ought to have sense
enough to understand that whatever
may be the merits of his convicted
friends case the making of such threats
does not commend it to favorable judg-
ment He ought also to realize that his
words to the President, which he HIM
self has made public, SAVIOR unpleasantly
Of what might prove to some cratic and
not well balanced mind an Indictment to
crime, and if they should unhappiy
have that effect the feelings and the pre-
dicament of their author would not be
enviable.

in fact the crowding grew worse. When
little horse cars gave place to big cleo
trio cars, crowding was to be a thing of
the past; but it remained in the continu-

Third avenue elevated train. In her tradl-
