,ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho all too frequent happening OF
criminal outrages in Westchester County
and I'm like extensive and somewhat sparse
" settled rural territory suggests the ur-
gent need of a state constabulary for this
state
Take Wcstchester County. for instance.
ifs communities notable for wealth and ac-
tivity; the economical serviceableness Of an
organization like that of Pennsylvania
would be beyond cavil or question-and 1t is
assumable that in degree like conditions
prevail over the whole state.
A model force. too. of this character in
miniature nearer home-some of whose
members fortunately available, rendered
valuable service In this recent murder-is
that of the police organization under the
jurisdiction Of the New York City Water
Commission. operating effectively within
the territory under it's control
The police and constabuary service
in our country towns and villages is
for the most part travesty OF what
such organizations should be. With prob
ably no exception they are insufficient IN
number and equipment, and for that rea-
son alone if there were no other, they are
inefficient In some instances good men
have been developed, and these show. merit
and aptitude. within narrow limitations,
for their work, but these are sporadic and
the result Of fortunate accident.
The fact is, the whole scheme OF vii
Iage administration in this state is archaic
hidebound and needs careful and intelli-
gent ovcrhauing and Standardization.
There is greatest need for reformation IN
those features Of the service upon which
village comfort and prosperity depended
fective maintenance Of law and order, alb
solute and impartial enforcement of the
law. an intelligent and practical sanitary
code and a pure and ample water service.
\ long step forward lies in the direction
of a thorough revision of the laws govern
ing our village administration, which VIII
greatly aid in the needed moral and eco
nomical uplift Of the many communities to
be thus benefited. JOHN y. CULVER.

PENDING RAILROAD CASES.

ApropOS of the recent injunction
suspending the order of the Interstate
| Commerce Commission forbidding an in
crease of rates in the Western TERRITORY
which will doubtless he appealed to the
! Supreme Court. ii is of interest that
some Of the most important questions
affecting interstate commerce will come
before that court in January.
There are before the Supreme Court
on appeal rate cases from Missouri,
Kentucky. West Virginia. Oregon. Ar
| kansas and Minnesota, in all more than
| forty while many other states have filed
petitions to be heard in argument on the
same cases. The most important and
! farreaching is the appeal from the deci-
sion of Judge Sanborn. of the Circuit
Court. ia which he decreed that the
| Minnesota state law fixing rates for in
! trastate commerce was unconstitutional
| because it did not take into considera-
ton the necessities of interstate com
merce and the effect which the proposed
| tion Of interstate business.
Other cases to come before the court
involve this question also, and various
phases Of the distinction TO be made
between inter and intra state commerce
i'm determining the cost of tranSpOrta-
ton and the equity of rates prescribed
by the state. And. Of course. the old
question of what constitutes confiscati0n
within the meaning of the Constitution
and also the question of what Is IN
equitable basis Of valuation are more or
less involved in almost every case. The
Supreme Court has fixed January s for
the beginning of the argument of these
several cases, the adjudication Of which
will. perhaps. contribute more 10 the
body of law controlling intra and inter
state carriers than any statutory legis-
lation.
1t has been customary Of late to re-
gard the problems of interstate trans
portation as practically settled. The
from the lawmakers point Of view. has
lent color to that impression. It has
been. moreover. not uncommonly re-
marked that the state legislatures an
peared TO have abandoned their efforts to
lower rates for transportation within
their jurisdiction. But Il realization Of
the condition Of pending litigation may
suggest that the states have merely
paused TO await judicial determination
of the legality or the cOnstitutiOnality Of
the work they have already done.
The affirmation by the highest court of
the decision of Judge Sanborn would
cause great concern 10 large element
of the people. particularly in the West.
i complete affirmation is not looked for
by some Of the ablest lawyers i'm The
administration The effect which the Ge-
cisions in the pending cases will have
upon all future legislation dealing with
the railroads will be farreaching Nor
can most of the problems involving the
relationship between federal and stare
control of common carriers be regarded
as AT all settled until the highest tri-
bunal shall have passed upon the cases

SOUyH C4ROLTNA'S SHANE.

South CarOlina's Indignation at Gov
ernor Blease's outspOken appreciation OF
a recent lynching is creditable and
hopeful sign. Men who themselves con
dOned the crime bluShed with shame to
hear the Chief Executive Of the state
sworn 10 uphold and enforce ifs laws
expressing his satisfaction with their
violation and bidding for the favor of
the lawless element by saying that. if
necessary, he himself would have re-
signed his office TO lead the mob that
killed the negro at Honeapath. More
outrageous conduct than that of Coy
ernOr BleaSe in openly boasting that he
had done nothing to aid the sheriff
whose prisoner was threatened by the
mob. but had left every avenue open TO
allow race prejudice to do its worst, is
not recorded. 1t is no wonder that
South Carolina is ashamed.
II is TO be hoped that when the Legis-
lature meets 1t will not ignore the Gov
ernors boast that he flagrantly violated
his oath of office. The movement for his
impeachment should enlist the support
Of every decent citizen Of South Caro-
lima Whatever private views the people
Of the state may hold about lynching,
they must perceive the danger in having
the Governor tanning the flames Of race
prejudice and lawless violence. If an
outbreak Of mob law that will disgrace
the state does not follow from this
prompting cf evil passions by the GOV
ernor there will he reason for surprise.
And if the Governors base conduct is
not repudiated by the state. his example
will have an evil influence wherever
GemagogueS are ready TO initiate him.

SOCIALISTS IN DISGUISEP

The gains made by the Socialist party.
as shown by the returns from the recent
election, when taken in conjunction with
the small progress of the insurgent Re
publicans, as reported by those who ac-
companied the President on his long tour
and from other sources, suggest more
than possibility that much Of the
energy being expended by certain insur-
gents is operating, not 10 augment their
own number within the ranks of the Re
publican party, but TO drive men from
that party into the Socialist camp. Nor,
on examination, does it seem at all sur
prising that this should be the case.
Insurgency in the Republican party
had its beginning in the House of Rep
resentatives. where the policy Of one-man
control had been carried TO an extreme
which naturally. and properly, produced
revolt. Working for real progress, the
insurgents In the House achieved the
overthrow of what had come to be known
Ms "Cannonism," although the name was
misleading because the system far ante
dated the Cannon Speakership. With
proper revision of the House rules the
insurgency Of considerable number
who had engaged i'm it ceased. With
some however, insurrectiOn had become
q habit. And in the case of others II
had grown into temptatiOn' TO exploit
themselves and further their own ambi-
tiOns. This was notably true Of those
members OF tho Senate who have since
assumed the leadership Of the insurgcnt
wing Of the party.
Many Of the inSurgent Senators were
unwilling to coniine their efforts TO pro
noting progressive policies within the
Republican party. They sought personal
-gr3nGiZement first. and in their cal
ciiatipus reform was compelled 10 take Il

AGREES WITH GARBAGE MEN

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial this morning on
the strike OF the drivers Of the carts for
the removal Of ashes and garbage. | be-
ieve that you do the drivers an injustice
in the assertion that the underlying cause
OF their dissatisfaction is that they are de-
priyed of the chance TO receive tips from
houscholdcrs ] am sure the revenue from
that source must have been too small to
have affected the men To any great extent.
for most persons able TO pay 81 or more a
month for such service employ "A man regu-
larly to attend to their furnaces and carry
out ashes. etc.
I also believe the night work required OF
those men will be extremely hard and un-
comfortable when freezing weather arrives,
The ash receptacles in winter are usually
more fun or more numerous at each house
than at other seasons. which makes the
work much heavier for each man.
/ do not think there ever was any gem
eral demand for the change TO night work.

the men. JOHN II. CHURCH.
