TRYING "T1EFD."

Mayor Gaynor has evidently decided
to try the effect of "taffy" on the police
force. Up to the present time his own
attitude. and especially that Of his last
Commissioner. Mr.. Cropsey. created IN
impression of hostility toward the police.
Every talehearer was encouraged 10

against the force Every instance #
brutality" was seized upon with ex-
ultaton and visited with exemplary
punishment. The evidence required for
the dismissal of q patrolman for club
bling was not Of the most convincing
character. for the courts have already
begun reinstating some of the officers
dropped in that early and stern en-
deavor to teach the police their place.
The result of the early severity was
widespread feeling Of sullenness in the
department. which the administrative
methods of Mr.. Cropsey served To in
tensify.
With the coming Of Mr. Waldo all this
is changed. The Mayor himself at
tended the gala day performance of pro
noting an extraordinary number Of Off

The announcement that the postal ser
vice has become Self-Sustaining is a
PROMPT ana highly agreeable confrma-
ton of recent forecasts made by the
Postmaster General The public has
been prepared for so pleasant q piece
of intelligence by the admirable work
which the present head of the depart
meut was already known TO have done.
There was a general expectation that he
would wipe out the annual postofiice
deficit before the end of the fiscal year
1901. because The country had been
deeply impressed Ivy what he had aC-
Complished i'm the fiscal year 1920.
But with what Skepticism would Il
pledge 10 make the service pay its own
way have been received al the begin
ming Of the Taft administration, when
the department was facing the largest
annual deficit ever rolled up.
II seemed then rs if receipts would
pever overtake expenditures. The adj
verse balance for 190S'09 was Sl7441.-
10 for the year before il had been
S1GS73,223 and back TO 1SS2'S3 there
the Taft administration set about reduc-
ing the cost of governmental operations
in dead earnest. The postal deficit was
cut IN 1909-10 from $l7,441719 10
$500. 0O0--a saving of more than Sill
600 600 That deficit has now been
wiped out. and the Postmaster General
estimates that the year will close on
June 30 with surplus Of nj least
$1,000, 600.
IT, partial modernizatiOn Of the postal
system has saved the government nearly
S2oO00OO0 i'm two years il is fair
conclusion that further administrative
reforms will produce substantial annual
SURPRISES. The service has not been

EDUCATORS AND THE CHARTER.

Gently circulated I'm the public schools will
YOU please give a little space 10 a few ex-
planatory statements from an unprofes-
sional member Of the committee with
which it originated?
The Public Education Association recent
" sent to every public school principal In
New York circular calling attention 10
the many very bad features Of the cduca-
tiona chapter. Because of that and a
similar circular sent by the Nelghborhood
Workers. the Association Of Women Prin-
cipals appointed a committee TO stimulate
a protest from the teachers.
A meeting called on May II was made up
Of representatives of associations Of men
and women. in favor Of equal pay.
against it and Indifferent 10 that matter,
who left II I'm allegiance because Of their
interest in any action that might tend to
prevent tho great injury which they feel
the new charter will surely do the schools.
At that time there was an impression that
legislative action would be taken by the
18th OF the month, so II was decided to
circulate a protest for signatures, az be-
ing speedier and giving more chance for
Individual expression than a mass meet
ing. although a hall lad been obtained for
that purpose. II was also decided not TO
put the names Of all the members Of the
committee on the circular. so a few that
were deemed representative were selected.
Some OF those present had not the authorl-
cation of their organizations. and II was
therefore decided best that all should sign
as individuals only. Much has been printed
about an unauthorized" and "self-consti-
tutued' committee What authorization
or constitution do those who are recog-
nized as leaders require when they call
upon their fellow workers TO take action
to avert dangers threatening all?
From the circulars sent out by the Inter-
borough last Thursday IT is certainly rea-
sonable TO infer that the struggle for
equal pay" has been successful That
success having been won under present
conditions. with the Davis law in force,
why the need Of abolishing those condi-
ti0ns? How does an effort to maintain
those conditions jeopardize equal pay?

NENICAN COINTERPLOTN

The news from Mexico is unwelcOme
hut not unexpected. Indeed we may
say that many competent observers have
for some time feared that the success
Of the Naderist revolution would be the
signal for other insurgent attempts The
fear of such y calamity was one of the
strong reasons for desiring the main
tenance of federal authority and the set
tlement of the issues between the gov
eminent and the insurgents nv peaceful
and constitutional rather than by violent
and revolutionary means That desire
proved vain. the revolution was success
ful. and now MeXicO-if happily not

activity. Diaz did much to destroy #
during his long and useful administra-
ton, but such things die hard. Then.
too. il is as true Of revolutions as Of
Madam Rumor. that they gain strength
by going. Between the beginning and
the ending of the Maderist revolution
there was perceptible increase Of law
lessness and disorder in various degrees
Of organization. throughout the republic.
There was also an increasing inclina-
ton among the MaderistS themselves TO
disregard the authority Of their own
leader. and probably nothing but timely
