Current Comment
Mayor Gaynor a Target.

The effort this morning of dis
charged employe Of the New York City
dock department to kill Mayor Gaynor,
AZ the latter was about to sail for a
well-earned vacation in Europe, will
shock the country. For Mayor Gaynor
by his record during his brief term Of
office has become a national figure and
has commanded universal respect for the
yigor and lucidity Of his thought, the
simplicity and effectiveness Of his adj
ministrative reform methods, and the
largo. minded views he has taken of his
task as head Of municipality, the ex-
ample OF which, for good or for bad,
counts more than any other in the
country.
That he should have been made the
target for the bullet of any man is one
of those ironies of history which are
seen whenever fanatics or erazed persons
/ take it upon themselves to award pun
ishment and dispense justice on men
whom they deem to be tyrants. So sell.
dom are the men who are smitten by
the stealth and craft of the assassin the
men whom society really could spare
admitting that the method Of doing evil
that good may come Is ever luSlHlaDlf'
which is a debatable question; and SO
often are the victims Of the bullet, dag
ger or poison the very men whom soci-
ETY. needs to carry on its constructive
reforming work.
This IS emphatically so in the ease Of
Mayor Gaynor OF all New York's re-
cent mayors, he has shown the most
courage, the most social vision, the most
leapacity to get needed constructive re-
form work done. Those who formerly
suspected him and voted against him are
lnow his warmest champions, The entire
municipal governmental machine has
been toned up by his inspiring per-
sonal influence. A new type o. man has
been set at work leading the various
departmental activities. Fnanciers have
been brought to believe that their share
in fostering city welfare viii be met by
official action that is rooted in principle
and COMMON sense. Partisanship in con-
lnection with city affairs never counted
FOR So little; and Tammany. that nomi-
mated Mayor Gaynor, never had such
lean picSings at the treasury trough.
Fortunately, the wound suffered by
