The court, some years back. having broken into
town in substantially the same way, did not hear
the boys story without feeling. During the re-
cital. the judicial mind had gone back to that
other day, now long gone, when he. penniless
lad had said good-by to his native town. So he
said to the boy:
my son, let me commend your Judgment ANY
boy who will ride the trucks to New York, in
preference to going to Chicago and living with
his chum's aunt, has the right spirit, think this
town needs boys like you, and going to let
you stay, Discharged"
Nothing can illustrate better than this incident
the lure of New York. Perhaps no other city ever
had so large percentage of the worlds popula-
ton blufed bigger word than "bluffed" is
needed here, but it does not come. The point Ia
that the city has the power to cast great spell.
and casts it. She makes no comparisons To
make comparisons would be to admit that there
are others in her class She says only; Il am the
wonderful city-come."
The call goes north to the edge Of the frozen
world; east to the point where the east ID west;
south as far as a white man lives and west till
the west Is east Not everybody comes, but every
body hears. Millions would like to come, but
can't Everybody would like at least to see the
siren city. And. untold thousands do come One
railroad thinks nothing Of dumping 100000 stran-
gers into New York in a day.
The reason for so much coming is plain. Ev-
erybody likes to be mixed up with success The
bigger the success, the better New York ia uni
yersally regarded as q big success. It has the
tallest buildings. the richest men, the whitest
white Way that ever cut a streak through the
night, and some Of the most prodigal disbursers
Of the circulating medium that ever dasxleu any
community.
In variety or ways comes the message to
mix with this great success--to become d part
OF this wonderful bigness. Perhaps the newspa-
pers and the stage do the most to spread the lure

THE LESSON OF THE
 RICH JOY RIDERS AND
 MOTORMAN PETERSON

A party of joy riders, return- ing home after drinking bout, came into collision with a trolley car. A woman was killed. A girl in her teens was injured for life.
 The automobile was driven by Yale students. They had been drinking, with the women, for the moment of collision.
 The trolley car was driven by MOtOrman Peterson. He was sOb- CT, an honest wOrkingman, engaged in honest labor for his daily bread.
 An inquest was held before Coroner Wilson. 1t was a secret inquest. The students had weal- thy parents. They were influent- ial. They were exonerated.
 with responsibility for the mishap that overlook the drunken party. He was lodged in jail, and for a long time could not get bail.
 Some months have elapsed since MOtorman Peterson became the scapegoat for the drunken, but in- fluential, joy riders.
 He has been discharged upon the opinion of States Attorney Stiles Judson, that the evidence does not show that he is guilty.
 Coroner Wilson says that he no longer believes. In secrecy in the conduct of public offices. Is he entitled to belief, especially since he is pledged to carry out policies approved by the Warner, King and Lavery combination?
 If any elector thinks of voting for Coroner Wilson, let him think of the narrow escape of MotOrman Peterson. Let him ask what Coroner Wilson will probably do as mayor, when great wealth and privilege stand upon one side of a public question, and the plain people upon the other.
