A SANITARY REFUSAL

In refusing TO pardon Charles W.
Morse and John r. Walsh, the convicted
bank wreckers, and in writing the nota-
BILE paper in which his reasons for the
refusal are made known, President Taft
has set an example for executives or
wise restraint upon the use Of the par
doning power and has rebuked the cur
rent sentimentality which is undermln-
ing Justice Probably no Executive was
ever subjected 10 greater pressure 10
exercise clemency than has been exerted
I'm behalf of these two prisoners. and
certain circumstances In the case OF both
have made that pressure hard to resist :
but President Taft has placed before
every other consideration. such as the
age and infrmity of Walsh the partial
restitution made by both prisoners and
the standing and influence Of those urg-
ing clemency, the public effect of pardon
ing persons guilty Of the offences which
these two men committed. He put the
reasons for exemplary punishment with
exceptional force when be wrote
Many influential and prominent per-
sons have petitioned for his pardon
They do not fully appreciate, II seems to
me- the high importance to society that
such criminal breaches of trust as this
be severely punished. Such brea aches
sometimes escape punishment because
the misuse of the funds results In a
profit In such cases the dishonest or
reckless bank officer takes the profit and
the bank is made whole and no one Is
the wiser Then the officer comes to re-
gard himself as shrewd manipulation
within legitimate business lines. The
truth Is that in the mad rush for wealth
in the last few decades the lines be-
tween profit from legitimate business
and improper gain from undue use OF
/ trust control over other peoples prop
erty and money have sometimes been
dimmed and the interest of society re-
quires that whenever opportunity offers
those charged with the enforcement Of
the law should emphasize the distinction
between honest business and dishonest
breaches Of trust.
Pardon Of these two criminals would
have been utterly demoralizing. 1t
would have lent color TO the plea that
there is no moral turpitude in such
breaches of trust as they committed. 1t
would have strengthened the mischiev-
Gus belief that the law has no meshes

LONDON AND NEW YORk.

The population figures for London, an
nounced yesterday, show that the growth
Of the worlds greatest city has suffered
a material check in the last decade. The
increase for the territory lying within the
metropolitan and City Police districts
was from G.5S1 ,372 in 1901 TO 1852 1868
in 1911. the percentage of gain being
only 100. or less than that for any pre-
ceding decade in the last half century.
The gain between 1891 and 1901 was
1853, and that between 1881 and 1891
was 1S2. For the earlier decades il ran
1.-THE rate Of increase has upset the popu-
lation calculations Of the London Regis
trar Generals Office The estimates Of
that office put the population of greater
London as high as $500, 434 in 1899, but
the enumeration of 1901 showed that
the city had then only 6,5S1.372 inhabi-
tants. The estimate Of population for
1907 in "Whitakers Almanac was
I OCT, 404, and It had been generally as
sumed that the total for 1911 would be
about 100000 whereas the census
shows only 1852 1868.
There are many Londons, lying within
various boundaries. The City Of Lon
don within Municipal and Parliamentary
limits has an area Of only 673 acres and
had population In 1901 Of only 26,923.
The area of the County Of London is
1889 acres, and its population in 1901
was 1896, 541-a little below that of
New York. The Central Criminal Court
District is somewhat larger than New
York and had population of 6,554, 40
ten years ago, while the Metropolitan and
City Police districts, with an area of 443,
4l9 acres-more than twice the area of
this city-had a population in 1901 of
6,5S1,372 The population of inner Lon
don, within the boundaries of the
county, has actually decreased in the
last decade. The entire gain has been
in the suburban region, devoted to
homes rather than to trade or industry,
which accounts for the marked slacken-
ing In the citys rate of growth.
The falling off suggests that Lon
don's supremacy as the greatest centre
Of population in the world may soon be
seriously challenged by New York. This
citys percentages Of gain in the last two
decades have been 81 and 3S7, re-
spectively, compared with London's lO2
and 1G.S. New York's absolute gain be-
tween 1900 and 1910 was 1,329,6sl and
Londons between 1901 and 1911 only
Gil, 59l. If the present disparity In
growth continues for three decades New
York, within its present territorial
limits, will be close on the heels OF
London, which has an area twice as
large. But if New York were to be con
sidered as the central section of dis
trict as extensive ms London. II would
easily outstrip the latter in population
even twenty years hence; for the pres.

ANENT DISTILLED SEA WATER.

II seems to me that in some way during

IN JUSTICE TO GOV. HUGHES
Professor Seligman Explains Comment
Which Was Misleading.
the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The daily papers have given much
space during the last few days TO some
alleged comments OF mine on Governor
Hughes in connection with the income tax.
BY presenting only part Of my statement
they have given a no doubt unntentional,
but none the less erroneous. account. Will
you permit me, without going with any
fulness into the argument, 10 state what I
actually did say?
The chief argument that has been al
yanced in the state Of New York during
the last year against the proposed consti-
tutional amendment is that the words
from whatever source derived would
subject state and municipal bonds to tax
alton and would cause such a possible
depreciation as to impair the credit OF the
state or municipality and perhaps 10 Inn
peril its finances. Ny point was that. I'm
the first place, as Senator Root, Senator
4orah and other great lawyers had pointed
out. these words would not subject state
and municipal bonds TO taxation at all.
But IN the second place. I argued. that
even II tn, amendment subjected them to
taxation. II would not have the economic

state bonds would suffer a depreciation In

A SUCCESS.

Mayor Gaynor's letter 10 Commits
sioner Edwards approving the latter's
suggestion that all garbage removal
work be done at night indicates that
sensible administrative reform has safe
ly passed the stage OF experiment. The
Tribune commended the plan of night
removal when II was first tried about
month ago in q limited section on the
West Side Of Manhattan Borough. It
seemed to US TO be an improvement on
the old method for various reasons.
among them being these. that the col
lectors would have the streets clear for
their work, that the handling and trans
portation of garbage would he less often
sive to the general public nj night when
relatively few persons would be OUT Of
doors, that # would he better ~ stand
the cans on the sidewalk after dark
when the temperature was lowest, and
that the street cleaners. making their
rounds between midnight and sunrise
would be All added protection against
fire. burglary and hold-ups.
These advantages have apparently
been Offset by no substantial disadvan-
tages. The Mayor says In his letter that
the only protests which have reached
him have come from light sleepers who
fear that the noises made by the col
lectors will interrupt the peace of the
night But the light sleepers in any
modern city are in small minority.
Most Of those who live long in the midst
of city noises lose their sensitiveness.
The elevated railroads operate trains oil
night, but hundreds of thousands Of peo-
pie sleep within earshot Of the elevated
structures and hardly notice the clatter
Of the trains. So 1t will soon be with
the single brief visit Of the garbage man
He will be impotent to murder sleep
after fortnight or so, and even the
wakeful will be satisfied with an ar
rangement which disposes Of the city's
refuse with the minimum Of discomfort
by handling 1t at time when the few
est people possible are obliged 70 take
notice Of the process.
