HORRIBLE FIND IN

He Looks something like a fellow

by fellow wOrkmcn upon viewing
a body that was found in the big

gradually fills with water from
time to time. the gruesome find was
made. The body was badly bl0ated

A DISCERNING POPULAR VERDICT.

7 HERE the issue was clearly presented New York has voted
w right. Tsmmany gave the State a bad Legislature, and
control Of the Assembly has passed from it. McCooey and
Cassidy named a ticket in the Second judicial District weighted down
with the Wilett scandal, and it has been rcpudiated by majorites
that recall the year of Maynard and Mckanc. Even Queens, corrup.
and misgoverned though it is, has contributed to the lesson read
bosses that dared tamper with the bench.
Tammany triumphs in New York County because its enemies
named a ticket which in neither auspices mol personnel showed enough
superiority to the Murphy ticket to cinch popular conviction. The
fusion cause relied on bargaining and on availability" rather than
On q commanding appeal, and lost because it did not greatly deserve
- win.
The campaign points to Queens as a field for arduous political
labor. For the first time since consolidation the county has put itself
right, rebuking Cassidy while rejecting Willett. In this vast, inor-
g,nc borough, made up Of factories and farms and committing vii
lagos, public opinion shapes itself with difficulty and has not yet dis
covered strong leaders or evolved q good tradition. The movement

MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN.

~HERE is a paradox behind cruelty, and the excuses Of Italians
in Tripoi and the excuses they fear in reprisal both
= declare it. Men do the most atrocious deeds not when conf.
den, bu, when afraid; and they are most vindictve when they have
what they call a religious motive.
Both the religious motive and the motive of fear are on view
in Tripoli. The Italians ire afraid of the private vengeance of a
hostile population, Of the arduous tolls and ugly chances Of desert
campaigns. Therefore, they kill with a ferocious timidity. They are
afraid, also, that a "hoy war may be proclaimed against them, and
a. experience has proved, a holy war is an unholy thing.
The merccnary soldiers, the Stree companies of medieval En-
rope. were goddess rapscallons, yet the capital charge Machiavelli
brings against them is not of cruelty but Of clcmcncy: "They use
every art to lessen fatigue and danger to themselves, not killing IN
the fray but taking prisoners and liberating without ransom" The
professional soldier is never so cruel as the fanatic, for the latter
may assure himself that to save the soul it is permitted to kill the
body.

OLD GRANNY LEGISLATION.

avery little while some one has a scheme to found a national
marriage bureau which shall sanction or forbid a wedding from
- card-index data. Or somebody wants to institute the bachelor
tax. Or somebody is ~perturbed at the impudence and mcndacity Of
children and wants the authority Of parents superseded.
People with such notions awaken a quizzcal interest because
their views are unusual and seem novel. As a matter of fact, they
are not ahead of their time, but behind it. Their schemes are sur
vfvals Of classical polity. They are Of the progeny Of PatOs Re-
publia The pattern Of their ideas is to be found in the legislation
Of Scion and Draco, in the sumptuary laws OF Roman emperors, most
It Ill in the system Of Sparta, a state which "besides being censor,
pedagogus, drill sergeant and housekeeper, was also universal land
lord"
Modern political theory has individual liberty for its keystone.
IL holds there are rights which the State does not create, but only
secures. It assumes that the State exists for the sake Of the indi-
vdua, where the ancient world assumed that the individual existed
for the sake Of the State! Modern governments serve society, where
ancient governments ruled tor rather tried to rule il, for Augustus
could forbid Roman matrons to wear gay apparel but could not get
HE own nieces to conform.
The aim Of modern policy, as Woodrow Wilson has said, is "to
create, the best and farest opportunities for the individual; and it has
discovered that the way to do this is by no means itself to undertake
the administration Of the individual by od-time futile methods Of
guardianship" The Goddess of Liberty carries a torch, not a broom
stick. She is q radiant young woman, not a nagging old one.
