TEMPLE.
Still the good things are TO the fore
In the Temple theater, and after a
fortnight of the best ever" comes an
other week OF lust as good" as the
usual big Monday audience testified.
A playlet with the title OF Oscar

ground as described in many parts OF
the book and the malevolent philos-
ophy OF the Wilde trend. is presented
by Edwards Davis. NJ. A.-don't omit
the NJ. A.-Templar SAKE and Miss
Adele Blood. The stage setting Is
one that would do credit to a hectic.
society drama on the 50 circuit, and
Is perhaps the most elaborate "set"
ever placed on the Temple stage. The
three characters taken from the Wilde
book have been arranged to suit the
vaudeville playwright's own sweet
will, Mr.. Davis. nj. A.. himself pei
forming the task Dorian in the play
let Is a beautiful woman instead OF n
handsome boy. and as much license
has been taken with the character Mr..
Davis assumes. The result however.
is an out-of-the-ordinary vaudeville Of
fering and is well acted. -
An amusing glimpse at 'stage
makin's" is given in Props" Billy

THE WORST ELEMENrs.

The day has come when the strike should be outIawed as well as the heartless and overt acts upon the part of the representatives of capital which provoke them. These labor contentious and days of idleness give the disre- specters of law and tough and ignor- ant prejudiced portion of a great city's population the opportunity to indulge in criminal rashness and murder which is really indefensibles Philadel- phia today is in the midst of a strike which has resulted in a score of deaths and the sending of 1000 persons to the hospitals, to say nothing of the reign of terror which menaces the safety of property and life in all parts of the city.
 It is not right to charge to organ fzed labor all the rascaIity and crim- inality which is marking the conduct of the rob there at the present time; as an exchange says concerning pres ent conditions, "it is the result of the rotten government and the rotten poIi- tics which Philadelphia has tolerated for years. Respect for authority has gone. The rabble that runs the streets has no interest in the issues at stake between labor and capital. Had the city suffered earthquake shock or con fagration, that mob would have as-
 
 fercely as now, only through the chan nels of rapine and plunder.
 That Philadelphia has not taken vigorous steps to curb her rabble, is an indictment that she lacks the sense of righteousness in her government that gives strength to preserve law and order. A government which had in the past treated its people as they should have been treated, would not falter now in treating that mob as it should be treated. And a government conscious that it had done the right thing in the past would not now hesi- tate to treat that mob to a few charges of grapeshot. The sewer rats would scuttle to their holes; not a dog would bark
 There is nothing like orderly and re- spectable government if the aim is to sustain high standards of living, and to make security permanent and such conditions as these in Philadelphia impOSSible.

Beneath the Surface

Three items of news Wednesday dealt with the suicides of a young girl, aged 22, in Philadelphia, and a discouraged salesman, aged 51, in New York. and, finally. the attempted sui- eide of another girl, little over g, in London. All three were discouraged. The father of the Philadelphia girl had killed her mother and then him. self exactly fix years. before. and she had; brooded over the double tragedy. Thef New York salesman owed hotel bill of SIPS and felt that he would never again regain his lost comfort The girl in London had drunk the dregs of fast life and her equally fast husband had deserted her
 Iti has been a long, mooted question whether suicide is cowardiy or cour- ageous. It involves, perhe-- pr--~ical courage, but moral cowardice. In all cases it is foolish. The three persons who tried to find relief in suicide might have found a less drastic rem edy for their woe In neither case. at any rate. was there any excuse for cutting off life and leaving the burden of responsibility to others.
 If those who are lonely and without relatives or friends would get a hobey they would not be so anxious to leave life. The serious study of anything in life will make life and the subject interesting. Everything in nature is interesting The trouble with many would-be suicides is that they merely skim the surface--Washingto Post.

LOOSE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
 LAW

City Missionary Mossman of New Haven appears to be Justified in his criticism of the county commissioners of New Haven county for the manner in which they are issuing licenses. ir- respective of the aim of the new law to decrease the number in licensed communities in this state to one saloon to each 800 of the population In com mentfng upon the case, the Journal Courier says:
 "Of the 25 saloon keepers to whose petitions for a renewal of licenses the plainly violated the liquor laws, and nnaining five cases involved clearly sn immoral use of the saloon"
 This definite statement shows suff1- cient cause for the city missionary's protest and his argument that "the in- tent of the new law evidently is that a saloon keeper who violates the li- cense law shall thereby lose his li- cense and that the license shall never be reissued either to him or to any other person. He has committed license suicide The license is dead: it can- not be revived, and New Haven should have just as many less saloons as there are la~breaking saloon keepers"
 This is the interpretation the New London county commissioners put up- on the law and they are living up to 1t, backed by live and healthy public sentiment. It looks as if New Haven lacked the public sentiment which aids public officials in doing the right thing.

A STATEMENT AND A HINT.

President Taft in his Washington day address in New York pointed out that the new tariff is working satis- 100000. in which win be included S3s.- 100000 expended on the Panama canal will be considerably reduced. The president also said that "by meeting the expenditures of the Panama canal with the proceeds of bond issues, we have enough cash in the treasury to meet the deficit in our ordinary ex- penses for the current year, and if we meet the expenditures on the Panama canal for tn following year we shall have a surplus of $35.000, 900; or. if the revenue producing capacity of the new tariff keeps up to its present in- dications, this surplus may be in- creased to $5o.o0o,o00. On the other hand if the congress proposes to add to the expenditures of the government over those estimated for new enter prisss in the river and 1larbor bill. and for the construction of federal build ings under building act, it will be very easy to consume or exceed the entire surplus
 This allusion to the open door of national enterprise and extravagance. within which resides the political horse-leech. which cries sMorei More" and is never satisfied, is well put and timely. This is where sur- pluses may be eaten up Tor centuries, if care and economy are not exercised.

THE NEW CATHOLIC BISHOP.

The Rev. John J. Milan of Amesbury. who has been appointed bishop of Hartford to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Rt- Rev. Bishop Tier ney, stands high among the Protest ants as well as the Catholics Of Newburyport and Amesbury. where he has rendered conspicuous service in promoting temperance and in aiding the poor.
 The Rev. James D. Dingweil, of the Main Street Congregational church Of Amesbury, pays the following tribute to the bishop-elect:
 "As a minister, he has proven the truthfulness of that word of the Mas ter, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much Faith full consecration to duties small and great has characterized his spirit as a parish priest, both within and without his church.
 JAS preacher he combines with splendid oratorical powers. healthy practicality in thought and an open. virile personality. AS man and cit izen he has been both brotherly and patriotic. Amesbury's loss is Connec- +icut's gain. In church that must have bishops he is the type of man who will adorn the ofice. for he will ever be a servant as we'll as a ruler. Fe5ofce in his advancement. I am sorry for the parish which has lost so good and wise shepherd"
 Joseph W. Creasey. a well-known business man and a c1assmate of the new bishop at the consolidated high school of Newburyport in the early seventies, says of him:
 He was an exceptionally bright scholar. I well remember how he ex- ceHed in Latin and was a winner of school prizes both for his papers and his oratory. As student he was ex- ceedingly studious and at the same time popular with his schoolmates."
 The Rev. Father Nilan's selection is most pleasing to the Catholics of Con- necticut as he comes bearing creden- tiaIs that he is a worthy successor of a bishop who was beloved for his man hood and his piety by people of all denominations.

DOESN'T WANT A cuRFEw LAW.


 The Worcester Gazette does not think that a curfew law is any more creditable to 2oth century commu- nifty than a whipping post. and it op- poses a bill now before the council of that city. The Gazette is of the opin- ion that there are quite enough laws already extant to give the boys and girls of Worcester such protection as their years demand; quite enough laws to reach and punish degenerates and quite enough to safeguard the moral welfare of the community. All that is needed to bring desired results is the enforcement of the laws. This depends upon the police. spurred and backed by an insistent public sentiment. Laws or no laws, the morality of a. com naunity never rises to a level higher than the ideals which that community maintains.
 "Worcester is too large a city to re- vert to a Middle Ages custom of the curfew sort for the purpose of getting a few handfuis of children into their homes at seen1ly hours in the evening. The enforcement of such a law would be practically impossible because par ents in general would resent the pat ernalism which the city pretended to assume. In the hot nights of sum mer. on the occasion of band concerts and at other times when there were large open air gatherings at night, the police would have most lovely time in attempting to enforce this proposed law"
 The Gazette's sane way of looking at this subject is certainly impress sive. City ordinances that cannot be enforced are of no value; and too much law is the bane of all govern ments. The enforcement of the laws we have is far better than adding another pretence to list of false pre- tences.
