A STONE FROM A HOUSETOP.

w ILLIAM SwEEzEY, resident of a Long Island village, was
w one of the men who answered the city's call when the
w street cleaners went on strike. His work was humble but
honorable 70 himself, indispensable to the city if traffic was to go
on and pestilence not to breed in the streets. While he was STOPPING
over q shovelful Of refuse a stone wa dropped from a tenement roof,
killing him instantly.
This man was murdered because he served the city. He was
murdered by Or in behalf Of striking ashcan men who tried to run
the city government, lost their jobs and then fomented a futile
strike Of the snow-removai force. Another outrage was added to
the account Of men whose purpose was to render street conditions
%intolerable, whose boast it is that they have made the city "burn n
barrel Of money!
This act comes four days after the Mcnamara committee of the
American Federation Of Labor declared that evidence, brutality,
destruction Of life o n property, are foreign to the aims and methods
Of organized labor" 1t was committed because its author had rea-
SON to believe the words were not sincerely uttered. Swcczcy would
have been alive to-day had the transfers union, which fathered
the two strikes, done a thing to show it dcplored violence and would
itself bring l~awbreakers to justice.
For its honor the city must safeguard the lives Of those who
serve it, and make its hand heavy against the scoundrclism that
xhrdcrously requitcs this service. For its own future, union labor
must realize the anger. the cold repugnance which such acts arouse
in normal men, and make their recurrence impossible.

A PROJECT FOR SOCIAL UPLlFT.

= YALF life's tragedies, more than half its scandals, arise from
deceit or Misunderstanding. Men have not known whether
= = the woman was maid, wife or widow. Women have unwit-
tingly given their hearts to benedicts or divorced persons or bachc-
!ou no longer on the market. Wherefore people must welcome the
custom growing up in Chicago that divorced women shall indicate
their estate by wearing a plain gold ring on the little finger.
All adults might well be so labelled as to advertise their con-
dtion at a glance. If grass widows should wear little finger rings,
real ones should wear thumb rings, to indicate they arc no longer
under any mans thumb. Young girls should not wear rings at all.
Spinsters from choice might be equipped with brooches showing the
device of the labor party-an uplifted hammer. Manageable men
could wear seal rings to intimate they were out to make nm impress
sion. Married men might avow their estate with nose rings. DL
vorccd men forbidden to remarry should wear earrings, the conven-
tional sign of piracy. Widowers could wear service medals, twice
married men The Red Badge of Courage. Irrcclaimablc bachelors
might have watch charms with porcupne pendants.
II all were registered according to brand, and it were a inside.

THE FORGOTTEN COMPUTATION.

COMMUTERS who leave their monthly tickets in the other coat
must pay a second time for the ride into town. That is what
is printed on the ticket, and the upstate Public Service Com
mission declares the commuters acceptance of the ticket makes a
contract.
Other things which railroads have printed on tickets the courts
have declared did not constitute a contract and they should pass on
tia Meanwhile the commuters recourse will be what it has ever

anywhere on that road, will with clear conscience look the other way
