A BLOW AT Joy RIDING.

THE Municipal Court is to be commended for
n its determined action in holding an alleged
automobile JOY rider for the county court.
The experience of Mr.. Louis Jacoby is similar
10 that Of other of automobiles in the city,
and il is high time that chauffeurs should be taught
that they cannot use other peoples property with
out their permission.
AS soon as some young men get their hands on
automobile wheel, they become changed per-
sons, fanatical in fact, and they not satisfied
until they get the out of the owners custody
so that they can have JOY ride.
A few prosecutions like that started in the city
court will do a great deal TO correct the evil of
joy riding, and the consequent damaging of pro-
perty its destruction.
Much of the just complaint made by people
against automobiles Is due to JOY riding by reckless
persons No words are needed to point out the
injustice Of such use Of automobiles TO the own
ers The ordinary owner of a car cannot employ
a battalion of soldiers to guard his and If he
did so, he would fear that the soldiers would take
joy ride. He cannot keep his under his eye
all the time but if il is not in his own possession
securely locked in his own garage, fortified by a
burglar proof lock-if there is such thing, and
locksmiths say there sn't-he is liable TO wake up
some morning and find that his car has been ditch
ed somewhere or some one has been run over and
injured while the car being driven by the reck-
less and irresponsible JOY riders.

Editorial Opinion
AMERICAN MANNERS.

New York World.
Prof. Giddings of Columbia Univer-
sity notes a profound deterioration"
in American manners and morals
However it may be with morals, fur
ther proof is needed that manners
have declined. The testimony Of
many foreign observers is that they
have improved I'm the half-ceDtury.
Present-day American manners
may have less of a courteous flourish
TO them than gentlemen of the old
school might desire. They are sim
pier and perhaps have a smack Of
business-like directness. But what
they have lost in formality they have
gained in uniformity. They are not
the possession of one social class but
of all. American manners have un-
dergone a democratlzation which has
bettered their general quality and
tended to eliminate the kind of
"Americanism" which Dickens and
Mrs. Trollope satirized.
Taking manners to mean morals, an
age which has put the ban of public
disapproval on prize-fghting, gam
bling and drunkenness, which has en-
forced laws against political corrup-
ton and discovered forms of dishon-
esty and immortality TO agitate against
which raised no scruples among our
ancestors, cannot be hastily indicted
for deterioration from earlier stan
dards of conduct 1t is not by the mob
at a lynching but by the added force
of the moral sentiment which repro.
bates the barbarity that the measure
of American progress in manners il
to be taken.

WEDNESDAY. OCT. 4. 1911
CHESTER'S CAMPAIGN.

TT HERE will be lively campaign in Chester,
a and the ring which was successful at the re-
cent primaries in nominating Mr.. Ward as their
candidate for Mayor will have to elect him without
the aid of either of the Chester newspapers.
Both The Times and The Republican have boted
the ticket and will support the Keystone candi-
date for election AS Ward was nominated by only
small majority the prospects of his defeat at
the election arc bright
The Chester Times paints an alarming picture
OF affairs in that city on Saturday nights due TO
an inefficient police force which permits drunken
reveling and disorderly conduct. The Times attri-
butes the nomination of Ward to the lavish use Of
money by the ring and the wholesale dcbauchery
of the voters.
The Times intends to make fight for good gov
ernment and house cleaning.
II conditions we're only half as bad in Chester
as portrayed by the newspapers of that city, the
time would certainly to be ripe for thor
ough overturnng of the city government.
But Chester will not be able TO get good govern
ment unless the police force is taken out OF poli-
tics At present the force changes with change
of Mayor as was the custom in Wilmington years
ago.
II is unfair to taxpayers and il is unfair TO the
policemen that the latter should be forced to per-
form political duties. A good policeman earns
every of the money he gets by hisservioes rem
dered and il is highly improper to compel him to
live in fear OF political boss and to think that
his place depends upon political service rendered
Even in Philadelphia one of the reforms promised
by all the aspirants for Mayor is that the police
shall be absolutely free of political control.
The plan Of having the police in politics is also
unjust to the taxpayers who want efficient service
rendered, property protected and disorder sup
pressed regardless Of political conditions. The
first reform in Chester should be a reform of the
police system.
Our neighboring city has a splendid opportunity
to take step forward and throw off the shackles
OF political ring rule. Fortunate are the citizens
in having two such newspapers The Times and
The Republican to lead in the fight, and the fact
that they almost defeated one of the most power
Eul local rings in Pennsylvania, despite the enor-
nous use Of money, indicates that the ring will be
routed if the citizens are in earnest AS a prelim-
mary it might be we'll for some of the good Chester
people to prosecute those who are accused Of vio-
latng the law and debauchng the ballot the pri-
mary election

HOW THE SENATE STANDS.

A S A result Of the election last November the
L n United States Senate should now stand fifty
one Republicans and forty-one Democrats giving
the Republicans a safe majority of ten. The pass
ing away of Senators Elkins and Frye, both Re-
pubcans, who have been succeeded by Democrats,
and the death of Senator Hughes of Colorado,
which has caused vacancy, has reduced the party
division TO forty-nne Republicans and forty Demo-
Gratis.
With the filling Of the Hughes vacancy and the
election of Democratic Senators in New Mexico
and Arizona, when admitted, forty-nine would be
a majority and the Republicans would have con-
troll, that is if they acted together Only few
years ago il thought that the Republicans
would have the Senate for long term Of years,
but with the progressives likely to jump the track
at any time the Republicans are not sure of the

had the President and we're strongly entrenched in

REFORMING CRIMINAIS

MIR. CHARLES W. PETERS, chief deputy i.
i i sheriff of Cook county H., evidently does
not believe in the permanent reformation of Grim
nals or those with criminal tendencies OF late
years many have taken the opposite view They
want spendidly arranged prisons, fine food excel
lent care in the hope that criminals will be re-
formed, that they will appreciate the efforts max
ing for their reformation and that as a result of
term in Jail they will come out new men or
women and be good citizens thereafter They
think the criminals such because of environ
ment, because they have had hard luck or have not
had a chance in the world The world has op-
pressed them, they say.
IL is good thing at times 70 hear the other side
and the deputy sheriff Of Cook county, man with
practical experience, presents it. Addressing a
meeting in Chicago the other day, Mr.. Peters de-
clared that his twenty-five years experience with
hardened criminals has taught him that such Grim
inals never mend their ways. They may improve
for time, says Mr.. Peters, but in the end ninety
nine out of every hundred 60 back to a life Of
crime If crime is disease, as some say, declares
Mr.. Peters, some one should invent cure Half
the people who preach reform in the method of
handling criminals do not know what they are talk

forred to when Mr.. Peters called attention TO the
fact that there were eighteen murder cases in the
