TN ORMER GOVERNOR FORT will go abroad tomorrow and
encircle the globe in his journey before he returns to his
native heath. In the distractions of foreign travel he will
perhaps be enabled to forget the events and acts OF his admins
tration that so powerfully contributed to the defeat of his party
in the November elections. In his last message to the Leglsla-
ture Governor Fort confessed failure, but disclaimed RESPONSE
bility. Few men in the State will agree with him in that dis
claimer. Mistakes and tactical blunders were committed that the
sober judgment of the governors friends and welEwlshers de-
plored. Governor Fort began his administration with a purpose
to make a record in office, and he ended, virtually, with a blank
after three tempestuous sessions of the Legislature. He aimed
to please the people of the State and he succeeded in the end in
pleasing nobody, while antagonizing many who had pinned their
faith to him. The initial blunder was the purpose of a personal
administration. Elected to the Office of governor, he assumed that
his election gave him the popular warrant to concentrate in him.
self all the authority and leadership of his party organization,
forgetting that the people elected him only for certain specific
duties relating to the State government and not to party organiza-
ton, of which he was no more than the titular head. 1t was
entirely in his province as governor to endeavor to commit the
party in the Legislature to measures that he favored, but he lacked
that first essential of the statesman, tact, in dealing with men.
He displayed a lack of candor. He provoked avoidable personal
controversies. He created elements of opposition. He maladroitly
made obstacles for himself, and in his failure he blames not him.

ernor goes abroad with the knowledge that he has not left a bed

will be occasion for mutual condolences,

Is Commission Rule o. K.s

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The city of Newark Is contemplating
a radical change in its form of gov
rnment. The charter revision COM
mittee has now in It's hands a new
charter which is practically the same
as the, one in Des Moines, a city that
has a commission form Of government.
This plan seems to have worked out
we'll In other cities. But has the ex-
pertinent beer tried long enough to
just what the result In the long
run will be?
Concentration and Capitalization Of
government can be carried too far. We
ought not to take a step of this kind
before we have thoroughly investi-
gated, the commission form of gov
eminent. 1t would be a good idea for
the city to ask officials and citizens
from the Western cities to come to
Newark to explain to us just how their
government works out Since 1t will
be left to the citizens to decide whether
they want the new charter or not, it
is essential that they know something
about 1t.
Woodrow Wilson has said that a
small commission for a large city Is
not advisable. Woodrow Wilson has
made a study of the question and
knows something about it. Al Gov
ernor of the State he ought to deliver
a series of lectures on the subj ct, or,
better still, debate the matter with
some other intelligent man.

and that it has become the custom to
kick" against ~monopolies on general
principles.
But the company officials cannot
and will not tell us that 1t is impos-
sible to keep the cars heated. The
congestion at the -Four Corners has
nothing to do with the stoves. Never
theless, 1t is almost impossible to find
a "a in which the stove is used that
is at any time properly heated. If the
conductors are to blame then the COM
pany ought to put inspectors on the
cars to see that fires are built and the
comfort of the passenger looked after.
The other night I was forced to come
from Jersey City in a cold car, and be.
fore I reached home was chilled to the
marrow. I do not believe in abusing

against eac prisoner. It is evident,
therefore. the heads of the department
are aware of the numerous armed per-
sons in the city.
When the magistrates put such a
heavy bail upon the prisoners for car
rying weapons without a permit 1t
shoul show the police what a serious
matter this is II they are not already
aware of 1t. Almost all prisoners In
such cases re foreigners, who are not
wholly accustomed to the ways of
country.
To prevent such a serious offense
from becoming an everyday occurrence
the police should take drastic action.
The %patrolman can be instructed with
more explicit orders concerning sus-
p1cfous characters. He should search
every one of them where circumstances
lead him to believe a concealed weapon
to exist. Policemen are supposed to
prevent crime as much as to prosecute
after it. And we have policemen who
carry out orders. That has been
demonstrated often enough. The ro-
sponsible mes should get busy and
lessen the concealed weapons" cases.

1t is not unlikely that Albert T. Pat
rick, who is now serving a life sentence
for the murder of William Rice, will in
the near future win his long fight for
freedom. Indeed, It is stated upon good
authority that he missed being par
doned during the past few months only
by the narrowest of technical margins.
In considering Patrick's ease it is i'm
possible to refrain at times from dis
missing speculation concerning his
guilt or innocence and surrendering
oneself to admiration for the wonder
full struggle he made, first for life, and
then for liberty.
Patrick was so sincere In his belief
that he had in his long investigation
unearthed facts warranting the au-
thorities In releasing him hat he In
dignantly spurned the Communication of
ment, insisting hat he was either
guilty Of innocent-that he should be
electrocuted or go free.
Naturally he had nothing TO say in
tho matter, and as the communication of
sentence robbed him OF the leisure no
enjoyed in the death-house. he was
deprived largely of his opportunity of
studying his case. That he was an
abled to do something. however, is
shown by the interest he was able to
arouse in his case on the part of tho
Medico-Legal Society of New York.

Isn't 1t a fact that when you praise

1t is possible that the success
full methods of criminals can be given
too much publicity. Success of any sort
is usually emulated. For the last few
years the general public has been made
acquainted with the manner OF life I'D
the criminal methods of the "Apaches''
of Paris, largely through theatrical Of
feringg.
Now a second daylight robbery has
been reported In New York city, where
in the thieves employed precisely those
unique methods which have been at
tributed to the French Apaches.
"Arsene Lupin," the French play in
which a burglar employing unusual
methods Is glorifed at the expense of
the police, is said to have caused Eng
lish, American and French authorities
all sorts of extra trouble.
Novices out for glory bobbed Up
here and there in New York, London
and Paris, committed bold robberies

In almost every case when they were
captured they were found to be young
sters of the type most readily in
fluenced by cheap literature.

Nothing is more disconcerting to po-
lice officials than a raid made over their
heads by some extra-nunicipal author
ity. 1t is easy to imagine the chagrin
of the captain Of the West Thirty
seventh street police station, in New
York, and the inspector OF the district,
when they learned thai the uproar in
Seventh venue between Thirty-ninth
and Forty-first streets, was caused by
the sudden descent of custom house off,
Gals upon two ~full-f1edged opium joints.
P~erplexity, and, mayhap, annoyance
must have been written large upon the
faces of those policemen who were sent
to investigate the racket when they
discovered uniformed custom house en-
ployees had been left at the doors OF
the raided houses, with orders that they
(the police were to be barred from the
buildings.
But the really amusing emotions to
watch in action We're those which must
have torn the higher police officials
when the patrolmen reported back" to
the station house. It Is said some
highly discriminating correspondence
was captured along with the opium and
"~layouts," and that fact also must have
given the police pause.

THE WOMAN AND THE TRIAL JURY.

IT T is always hard to procure from an American trial jury a
verdict of guilty against a woman. Evidence that would
convict a man has little effect upon a jury. Probably a jury
of women would not be as lenient. In the case of Mrs. Laura
Schenk at Wheeling, w. Va, accused of deliberate poisoning of
her husband for the sake of getting rid of him, getting posses
sion of his estate and marrying a younger man, the evidence was
damnatory. The testimony showed the woman up in the worst
possible light. She had been utterly reckless in her acts and her
acknowledgment of motive, and yet the jury disagreed and eleven
iurymen stood out for acquittal.

Fire Drills In "Death Trap shops.

Dha'S Ah 'DNash AEdpN SHOVos
To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
1t Is to be hoped that all our schools
are equipped with such a cool and
courageous corps of teachers as that
which prevented a panic in the Seventh
Avenue School yesterday.
When fire drills were first proposed
in the schools some people laughed at
the idea and declared them to be a
foolish waste OF time. But 1t has been
shown more than ono that the boys
and girls behave admirably under try
ing circumstances, thanks to these
drills. Those who opposed them were
sure that when the pupils became ac-
customed to false alarms they would
lose their heads completely in the face
of real danger. The facts disprove this
theory.
1t would be a good Idea if this plan
of fire drills was ~inaugurated in some
of the death-traps in this city where
employees are forced to earn their
living. But, of BUR a dollar is
worth more than a life to some en-
ployers and SO this plan will never be
enforced generally. NJ. M. l..

The patronage list is q long one, and as it will be dispensed
in driblets during the session the significance of the appoint
ments as they may relate to the recent senatorial contest will
better be understood by a study of the appointments as a whole.
1t is denied for the governor, but not by the governor or by his
authorization, that any promises or pledges of appointments have
been given. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof.
