That success which has crowned the
efforts of q police captain and -four de-
tectives In this city 10 corral the MEM
bers of a dangerous BLACK hand or
ganization affords a striking and much
needed obJect-lesson of the strength of
the long arm of the law. A period has
been put to an extended series of out
RACES in a foreign quarter of the city,
but that is the least significant feature
of the successful crusade. II has been
demonstrated-and this is of supreme
importance-that this locality is not a
healthful stamping ground for secret,
exotic. criminal societies.
1t would seem that the militant suf-
fragette has had another arrow added
to her CULVER. A woman recently sue
cessfully broke into a field of action
heretofore reserved for, men by break
ing out of Jail. New Brunswick wal
the scene of this unusual exploit. While
jail-breaking is not a profession In
the accepted meaning of the word, 1t
has, in the past, been monopolized by
men. Women of the cites and lists per-
suasion should welcome the feat rs
another proof of the fitness of their sex
for the ballot.
Concerning that Princeton graduate
who magniicently remembered his
alma mater with a bequest of $10.000,-
900, it was said that his most marked
characteristic through life was his love
for the university from which he was
graduated, half a century ago. An in
stitution of learning which inspires af-
lection of this abiding kind in prac-
teal, successful men may r%ightfully
indulge in a little pardonable pride at
times, and deserves such a reward
Inspiration alone must have directed
the policy that holds that the practise
of carrying concealed apo cannot
be too severely dealt with. Local po-
lice court reports contain almost daily
instances of prisoners who are held in
$1,000 bail for the grand jury upon this
charge. When large fines and prison
terms have thoroughly taught their
lesson the unprecedented. murderous
attacks now so common will have been
all but eliminated.
Some day in the not far distant flu
ture there will be consistency in the
enforcement of the laws and in the
views Of people in regard to Sunday
observance. These thifteen members of
a church organization In Chicago who
were suspended for playing baseball on
Sunday rightly protested on the ground
that a number of the directors who
suspended them INDUCED in Sunday
golf and tennis and automobiling on
Sunday.
We have the word of many citizens
of Newark for it that the comet Is.
after all, no myth. Hundreds who re-
fused to be discouraged by a cloud
trimmed western horizon secured points
of vantage Saturday night and saw
the distinguished visitor. A great fuzzy
baseball 1t seemed to be, they said, so
the vision may easily be accepted as
an omen of the ultimate triumph OF the
local Eastern League diamond artists.
For the second time a French aviator
has succeeded in crossing the English
channel in a frail sky motor-boat. But
for a sudden storm he might easily
have completed the round trip. 1t
hardly seems too much to hope that the
near future will see a bird-man sue
c~essfully pilot his aeroplane across the
Atlantic. And may the man who ac-
complishes this era -making feat be an
American!
Members of the wellesley athletic
squads may no longer eat ice-cream
and nuts. Those delicacies we're placed
under the ban in IN edict just issued
by the fair president of the athletic
association. Imagine how sadly the
ranks of the athletes would have been
depleted had bonbons and chocolates
also been forbidden.
The Trenton Times points to the fact
that the B~ordentown Colored Industrial
School is to graduate thirteen students.
at it's thirteenth annual commencement
next Friday afternoon, n suggests a
'%hoodoo.'' But the institution has been
under a hoodoo ever since 1t was
started.
