THE DEfOR4LIZED POLICE

b. The latest police outrage is one of the
worst on record. The officers accused,
if guilty. deserve the most severe pun
ishment possible under the criminal
law. Ii the Mayor succeeds III prevent
ing the system from hush!ng up the
case and covering up the evidence, he
will have done something to restore dis
cipline in the force. Moreover, II Is 10
be hoped that he Will be able to TX upon
the CAPTAIN ana inspector III charge OF
the district. as he evidently IS trying
to do responsibility for such democrat
ization as must have existed In a
precinct where two officers leave thelr
posts to commit an indecent assault
and two others, as alleged, refuse 10
interfere when their attention Is called
to the crime What is the use of having
captains and inspectors If they MAINTAIN
no better discipline than that and II
they fail to learn of an outrage that
became notorious in the neighborhood
where il was committed?
The record of the police was perhaps
never worse than it is to-day. Brutal
outrages have been of frequent occur
renee recently, and the success OF the
police in solving serious crimes appears
to be at its lowest ebb. The number OF
mysterious murders since the beginning
Of the year has been exceptional, and IN
ne of the few cases where the police
have beer successful in finding the
guilty person they owe their success to
the efforts of newspaper reporters.
We think there can now be hardly any
doubt in the mind of any unprecedented
observer that the removal of General
Bingham last summer was a dem0raliZ-
ing event in the department. Not only
was he one Of the few men who had
shown a capacity to maintain discipline
in the force. but his dismissal under the
circumstances was Il signal to the po-
lice, as we said at the time, that the
ideals he stood for were defeated and
that politics and the system were an
invincible partnership. The present
Mayor has Il heavy burden of response
bility upon his shoulders.

SEEING THINGS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 'In pace, para belIum," which, be-
ing interpreted means. Always be ready
for a scrap" And so, while the country
is apparently rising toward the crest Of
another wave of prosperity, we ought to be
looking ahead and trimming ship for the
next pitch downward into the trough or
the sea.
We are shipping gold persistently: not so
long ago to the Continent of Europe, ana
latterfy by European order to South Amer
lea Evidently the trade balance is against
US. How much? What effect Will 1t nave
on business confidence here before the I'M
ish and levelling up of balances has ad-
justed matters?
One thing is certain: The balance against
us is not limited to any great extent Dy
the apparent merchandise balance in our
favor shown by the Treasury report Tor
the year. The new tariff law seems TO
have stimulated imports. for, instead OF
this merchandise balance being $5d0,03900o
in our favor it is now only s275,000,UO0 what
is there to offset this merchandise balance
and leave the boot on the other leg?
Items which are now commonly referred
to are: Our foreign freight bill. variously
estimated from $1Oo,OG0o0o to s3o0,GQN,000;
ously estimated from 900 to S2Oo,0O0.-
Oy0; moneys sent back to the old countries
by our immigrants, which are usually
placed at $780, 900 at least; interest on
bonds and dividends on stock held abroad,
which cannot be much less than Sl00,0oVU
more. and moneys sent abroad for the
erection of foreign branches to American
factories.
From all these sources of dissipation Of
American money abroad it would seem
very likely that our merchandise credit bal
ance of S275. OC0 of the last year would
more than be wiped out, leaving a very
serious and anxiety breeding balance
against us. An interesting question is. How
MANY years has the balance-the real I'M
seen and unknown, but cogent, financial
balance-been against US. and how long has
the purchase of our securities by foreigners
alone stood between us and disastrous
liolidation? How long before increased
protection for these foreign markets Will
make production there profitable that
ioreieliers now holding our securities VIII
make us take them back in order TO invest
their capital at home?
We ought not to forget that every dollar
we send abroad is just 81 dollars worth OF
canned employment and business. to be
ouened for the benefit of workers and bust
ness man abroad. even when 1t is so Inuch
needed right here at home. THOMAS.

DEALING WITH THE LORDS.


Mr. Asquith's call to his followers
materially clears the political outlook
in the United Kingdom. It indicates
Enthusiastically that the Prime Minister
has no thought of abdicating the con-
stitutional function with which the SOW
ereign and the people have invested
him, but that he intends forthwith TO
undertake in earnest the legislative Ia
bors for which the result of the recent
election is Interpreted as mandate.
The budget. it seems safe to assume,
Will be promptly disposed of as nom
contentious matter, perhaps with some
modification TO assure Irish support.
Then will come the matter which is
second III urgency and perhaps first i'll
constitutional importance and for which
Mr. Asquith believes that he has re-
ceived Il popular order, namely, the
dealing with the House Of Lords.
1t is better to speak of il as dealing
with than as reforming the House of
Lords. because it is not at all sure that
n reform Of that body is contemplated.
Mr.. ASquith does not appear 10 say just
what his plan is. but we are told that
il is likely to follow closely the lines IF
the late Sir Henry Campbell Banner
mans scheme. If SO. il will scarcely
be reform plan, and it Will certainly
prove 10 be a highly contentious meas
IRE. For Sir Henry's proposal was not
that the Lords should be reformed III
constitution, but that they should be fet-
tered in functions. II was. IL brief that
not only on financial measures but also
on all legislation the veto power of the
upper chamber should be limited to re-
lection Of a bill i'll two successive ses-
sions, and that on q third passage Of Il
by the Commons a measure should be-
come law, no matter whether the peers
assented TO it or not. That would OBJ
viously mean that the Commons might
pass any bills they likeC within the life
time Of a single Parliament, without IN
appeal to the people. The most rev.
dictionary measure, on which the ma
ton had never expressed an opinion,
might be presented, voted under closure
at three successive sessions, and thus be
made law.
II is not clear that Mr. Asquith is
NbIuIuiilttl ~ - IdtltdI Il CIldllSt OI tut
British constitution. We recall that
Some years ago he spoke of the adj
vantages which the nation enjoyed in
the existence OF second chamber,
(which i'll cases of extreme need will
refer back 10 the people for considera-
zion measures which the people can
mot be supposed 10 have deliberately
approved Such reference would be
impossible under the Campbell Banner
man scheme. and that advantage TO the
nation would be destroyed. 1t is true
that N later date Mr.. Asquith de-
clared that the will Of the people, as
deliberately expressed by their rep
''resentaiiyes, must. within the limits of
''the life Of single Parliament, be made
effective" That might ou its face he
interpreted as a REIMBURSEMENT of his
