The shooting of Mayor Gaynor yes
terday comes as a horrible shock to
every American. From a compare
lively unknown judge of the New
York supreme court Mr.. Gaynor has
during the past seven months devel-
oped into an executive of the Roose-
welt and Hughes type, earning him a
national reputation and doing more
for the city of New York than all the
mayors the town has had in the past
twenty years. Like Roosevelt and
like Hughes and like other great fig
ures Judge Gaynor has proved so far
better than the party which elected
him that he has made himself dis
liked by the sordd elements that
compose the Tammany machine, but
has won the regard of every citizen
who delights in honoring high and
earnest purpose regardless of the pet
ty letters of party and partisanship.
Mayor Gaynor has earned the respect
and esteem of all good citizens and
an earnest prayer will go up from
every true heart that he may be
spared to carry out the work that he
has so spIendidly begun.

AS TO Referendum

II Is nnounced-mistakenl as II
appears to us-that the Bennington
county Republican convention last
week rejected" the state liquor plat
form by passing the following resolu-
tom
We congratulate the Republican
party OF Vermont on success OF the
local option law. We don't claim
that II Is perfect but It's operation
has justified It's enactment and reten-
ton. The state of Vermont has more
important work for the legislature
next fall than pickering over any
change in the liquor law and we In
struct our candidates to the Senate,
II elected, to oppose any and every
attempt to secure n referendum hav-
ing for its object the further agitn-
ton OF the prohlbtory system.
Instead OF being in conflict with the
state platform. this action is directly
in line with H. The state declaration
was to the effect that the present law
ought not to be disturbed by anything
less than a referendum, as for in
stance. an ordinary act OF legislature.
II. as appears. Bennington county
doesn't want a referendum II is the
proper thing to declare against Il in
the county platform and instruct It's
senators, Just as Il did. II Orleans
county wants a referendum, II is quite
within the state platform should II
call for one In It's county declaration.
In short. the matter Of referendum
at this time Is left for the legislature
to determine, without explicit direc.
ton as to It's course. In the absence
OF such direction, on a question of 20
great interest, Il would be extraordl
nary II the legislature should decree

After the shooting of man like
that of Mayor Gaynor the first insist
ent demand that goes forth is one for
vengeance on the one who committed
the crime, but after all what does it
profit TO merely put to death the
poor weak, mentally and spiritually
diseased human being who was per-
haps the product of conditions over
which he had no control. Restraint
perpetual must Of course be imposed
and with conditions as they are it is
stupid and actually criminal folly.
which prevents the proper safeguard
ing Of men in positions of prominence
and importance. But the great les
son back of it all is the menace of
present social evils. Heredity, envir-
onment and early training are mainly
responsible for the mental and moral
conditions of the human race. A boy
born of i'll assorted parents, allowed
to roam the streets a truant, not re-
strained from any evil desire, never
taught that good habits bring more
lasting pleasure than bad habits,
forced into mill, store, shop or Office
as soon as old enough to wear long
trousers. cannot be relied on to resist
the weaknesses that are inherent in
all of us. A girl who from childhood
chooses her own company without
counsel or warning, who never has a
chance to learn arts of the housewife,
who tolls long hours under unsanitary
conditions and often amid surround
ings and associates that teach her to
seek evil and to forget the good, is
not well fitted to manage a home and
bear and bring up children who will
make the coming generation better
than present generation. Laws to
forbid and punish actual crime are
but a small thing in the history and
progress of the world. The sultiya-
ton of improved conditions. the de
velopment OF higher ideals the ellmi
nation of vice and squalor poverty
and suffering, not by drastic law but
by the processes of that which will
produce a gradually improving man
hood and womanhood amid better
surroundings are what the worlC
needs.
